Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Summary
When James Potter asks his best friend to meet him at the gym, the last thing he expects is to be told he's texted the wrong number.

Summary
“I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
***
After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Summary
James comes back with some red and green tinsel, sparkling under the dim light of the Luminary. He points to the top of the window, “This, my new ‘allergic to happiness’ friend, is going right there.”
“We’re not friends,” Regulus grumbles. James ignores him, snatching some fairy lights next and jumping onto the nearest chair, lifting the lights across the top window ledge, “Hey! You can’t just decorate my bakery!”
“And later,” the pest continues, “we’re going to get you a tree.”
It's the festive season, and Sirius and Regulus are struggling to keep their failing bakery afloat.
Enter James Potter, a Christmas enthusiast and Regulus's first crush, and his best friend Remus Lupin, an introverted novelist who turns to Sirius for inspiration for his next romance book.

Summary
Regulus is an art student. In one of his classes, he meets the most breathtaking men he's ever seen - James Potter. He might've just found his muse.
Problem is, it's way easier to paint him than actually speak to him. Lucky for him, his best friend Barty is excellent at meddling with other people's business. -

Summary
“Please, I was just trying to—” Remus starts again.
“—and I just got custody of him not that long ago and we’re fucking trying, alright? Also, he’s deaf, for Christ’s sake. That’s why he’s—”
The sound of the world drops away, and Remus is extending both of his hands. On the top of each palm is a hearing aid. The other man’s mouth moves for a few more words, but Remus isn’t sure what he’s saying—he’s never been all that great at lipreading. When his pale-colored eyes stumble over his outstretched hands, his face grows flushed. Finally, mercifully, he shuts up.
Or:
Grocery store stocker Remus Lupin teaches Sirius Black, a newly-appointed guardian to his deaf godson, how to use American Sign Language.

Summary
“Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”
Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.
“Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”
“You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.
“Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.
“Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.
---
Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
“This has to be some kind of conflict of interest,” Regulus says, his lip curling at James.
James shrugs, the idiot, “I don’t know.” His voice is weary, tired. He even looks tired, even though he’s been sleeping all day. In fact, he looks more than just a bit tired. There are deep, dark circles under his eyes, his hair is sticking up– and not in the endearing way it usually is– but simply out of control.
He’s thinner than he used to be, and his brown skin is sallow. Regulus’ eyes catch on the two massive bandages wrapping around his arms.
Jesus fuck.
Regulus had no idea James was… no. He couldn’t do this right now. He was here (and had been for some time now) to figure his own shit out. Not to worry about James’ suicidal ideations. Not to mention, he hated James. So this whole thing? It wasn’t going to work.

Or: James Potter and Regulus Black end up as roommates in the same mental hospital.

Summary
When James Potter is hit with a spell which makes him lose his memory, everyone is understandably freaked out. Everyone except for James, of course, who is too busy trying to reassure his boyfriend that he hasn’t forgotten him and never will.
Except, James Potter is single, and Regulus Black has no idea why he seems to think otherwise.
[or, James is confused but still a sap, Regulus is flustered, and everyone else is just along for the ride.]

Summary
"If I win you have to give me a blowjob in the locker room after the game. ” James stepped back and reveled in the dark blush that appeared on his cheeks. Regulus Black was not easy to make blush. He looked absolutely indignant at the suggestion and whipped his head around to make sure no one had heard.
When he decided that no one had, looking at the confused faces surrounding him, he seemed to relax a bit. He gritted out, “No fucking way.”
James smirked at him tauntingly, “Oh is the big bad Slytherin afraid of a little bet?”
Everyone knows the tragedy of Regulus Black and his bleak destiny, but what would've happened if he had someone to help him? What if he had found someone to save him from his destined watery grave? What if Regulus got to live past the age of eighteen? What if James Potter had fallen in love with him?

Summary
There is something both thrilling and intimate about watching someone when they think no one is around, seeing how they behave in the vacuum of other people’s perception.
Regulus momentarily sheds his poise when he wrestles with the ancient lock, tote bags precariously balanced on his shoulders and neat curls just beginning to frizz and frazzle in the humidity. He mutters something James is too far away to hear, but it is most certainly a curse.
It’s oddly endearing.
Or
James Potter offers to check on his best friend’s long-missing brother and gets a little too invested.

Summary
“Excuse me, you what?”
“I want you to take Regulus out on a date,” Sirius repeats casually as if he hasn’t just said the most absurd thing ever, watching the Snitch that had escaped James’ hand the second Sirius had made the ridiculous request the first time.
James stares at his best friend in disbelief, because what?
“Look, if you go on a date with Regulus, I can go out on my Moony date. My parents will realise that their stupid idea of cursing me with only getting to date once Regulus does didn’t work out because look at that, Regulus also dates! They reverse the magic, Regulus can happily go back to refusing to date anyone, I can go back happily dating Remus, and you can happily go back doing whatever you had planned to do this summer. Quidditch, I assume.”

Summary
The thing was, it had seemed like it was already as bad as it was going to get; what could be worse than living with your brother’s best friend, who you happen to be in love with, who sees you as nothing more than an extension of your brother he just has to hang out with sometimes?
Apparently, the answer was having to pretend, to pretend, to be in love with him.
