    Summary

    A mischievous grin tugs at James' lips. “I love me a good croissant.”

    “You’ve never had a good croissant.”

    “No, I have. The uni bakery has this–”

    Regulus interjects, "If the next words out of your mouth are 'ham croissant,' I will throw myself on top of a knife.”

    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.”
