    Summary

    “Anything else you need to borrow?”

    “Yes,” James pants a little out of breath. “Your name.”

    “You want to borrow my name?” The pretty neighbour crosses his arms and leans against his door frame. “How are you planning on giving it back to me?”

    James sucks his lower lip between his teeth and considers the question only for a second. “Screaming, later, if you want me to.”

    or: James finds out his new neighbour is very pretty, Regulus finds out his new neighbour is very bad at baking, and both find a lot of excuses for James to knock on Regulus' door again

    Summary

    Twelve years is a long time to stay away. Long enough for old mistakes to gather dust, for memories to blur at the edges.
    But some things don't fade. Not really.

    Regulus has spent years practising the art of avoidance, but some lessons demand revision.
    Especially when the past insists on catching up.

    Summary

    All James wants is to get back at Lily, his on-again-off-again girlfriend. Maybe his best friend’s brother and his sworn enemy isn’t the right choice for that.

    All Regulus wants is to win his family home from Narcissa in a battle of inheritance. James Potter is the key to doing that. So what if he uses James? Regulus is being used as well.

    A dare, a debt, a family feud, and a few fistfights later, someone falls in love. Everything falls apart.

    Still, it turns out the love they seek can be found in the strangest of places.

    “You're doing what wrong?”

    “…Life. Is this how it should be, blacking out every weekend, sleeping around recklessly? Coasting by from one numbing minute to the next?”

    Smoke spilled from Barty’s mouth, and he looked over at Regulus, his eyes unreadable. “People like us don’t have the privilege of doing it another way, do we?”

    Regulus paused at that. “Who are people like us?” he asked, his voice faint.

    “Damaged, fucked up people. We didn’t grow up normal. We don’t get to be normal now.”

    Summary

    Regulus Black has two obsessions.

    1) Hating his older brother’s best friend, James Potter. Has Regulus met the man before now? No. But he has deemed James Potter his mortal enemy since he was ten years old.

    2) A certain voice actor by the pseudonym Jay, who makes “spicy” audios.

    Regulus has always known the universe to have a sick sense of humour but he didn’t know it was this cruel. He’d recognize that voice anywhere. To Regulus’s shock and abject horror, James Potter is Jay, there’s no doubt about it.
