Summary
"I'm gonna be fine!" Will shoves him again as the voices are growing louder. Closing in on them. They are out of time. "I'm gonna be fine, but if they catch you, they'll--"
Mike cuts him off, grabbing both of Will's arms in a near-bruising grip. Will is shorter than him, so he has to lean down a little to stare into his eyes. He hopes he's not crying. He can't tell anymore. Everythings too loud, he's too hungry to think straight.
"Thank you," Mike says hoarsely, fiercely. Making sure Will knows he means it. "I swear, I'll pay you back one day. I swear it."
Or
Mike is a monster, and Will is a normie. They’re from different worlds but somehow end up in the same one.

Summary
”I. Dont. Care. About. Soulmates.” Regulus spat each word out slowly, as if Sirius was being extremely stupid. “Nobody, not even the fucking universe, is going to tell me who I’m going to spend my life with.”
Or
James has been waiting his whole life to find his soulmate. Too bad it turns out to be the only boy in the world who never wanted one.

A Full Guide To Gardening For Amateurs by aphrsditea
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
05 Sep 2022

Summary
The first rule in gardening is: choose the right spot. The plants need neutrally rich soil, a sufficient access to clean water and a much-needed supply of sunlight.
The second rule is: Don't be James Potter. Because his hands are cursed - flowers die under his supervision or so he thinks. That brings him to the door of his moody neighbour who doesn't seem to like him very much: Regulus.
FUCK JKR

the monster in the north wing (and the boy death couldn’t claim) by bylerstatic

Summary
With no name and no future, Will Byers takes a job at the isolated Wheeler Manor, hired to tutor the family’s youngest daughter. He expects a quiet life in a house of stone and silver—completely oblivious to the fact that his education isn't the reason he was brought there.
But the North Wing is breathing.
There is a secret behind the door, something the family has kept starving for a century. Will was told to stay away from it, but in the dead of night, the house begins to whisper. And Will is the only one who knows how to listen.

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.”
