Summary
An ulterior motive had rapidly taken shape in James’s mind from the minute he had first seen Regulus, and had only solidified the more time he spent with him here in this raucous, smelly, dander-filled kennel.

Summary
Regulus knew that James was lost to him the day Lily Evans walked into his life.
It was his own fault for fancying someone who was, functionally, a straight man in all the ways that mattered. In ways that had implications for permanence, for commitment, for a future. In ways that had implications for the heart.

A modern!AU two-shot in which Regulus and James—whatever they are to each other—fall apart. It takes years, a broken marriage, and painful retrospection to, somehow, come back together.

Summary
Regulus Black, a rising talent in the world of professional kitchens, had a plan. He would ride his ambition to become the next top chef, win his inheritance, and finally impress his parents.
What he had not accounted for, however, was how stupidly hot James Potter—his new boss, he tried to remind himself—was.
---
A modern-ish!AU, set in New York City during the peak foodie era, in which Regulus takes Sirius’s ill-advised suggestion and accepts a job as a sous chef at the restaurant owned and managed by James.
