Summary
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
“Top up?” A voice asked. Remus, although nodding vaguely, was barely paying attention.
He only snapped back into reality, when the glass reappeared on the counter with a gentle thump. He unfolded a crumpled note from his pocket, sliding it across the bar as his fingers gripped around the cool glass.
Then he looked up.
His heart did a strange flip, when his eyes finally met the bartender's. A man stood before him, long raven hair falling over his shoulders in perfect waves. The top button of his shirt was undone, revealing a slither of pale, tattooed skin beneath his neck.
Dark eyelashes framed light eyes that seemed instantly so deep, so sinkable, that Remus didn't notice the twitch of a finger, or the shattering of glass.
He didn't notice anything, until the man's perfect face had twisted with concern.
---
A muggle teacher AU, in which Remus Lupin is a teacher and Sirius Black works in the staff's regular pub. Remus has Huntington's Disease, although he doesn't know it yet, and must face a grim new reality as he and those around him struggle with the implications.
