One blissful summer in August, James Potter is looking for something to yearn for and bedsheets to be tangled in. Regulus Black is willing to answer. He's (secretly) thrilled James has moved on from his long-time muse and is finally looking at him as someone other than his best friend's brother. Even if it doesn't last, the euphoria is enough to propel him up out of the slums of his mind. It doesn't last. When they all go back to Hogwarts, James drapes himself all over Lily Evans, the girl he'd never ended things with after all. Regulus' faulty seams start to rip again and suddenly he's all torn up, back where he started. As one of Lily's friends, he has to figure out how to fix this. They all do. - based on taylor swift's teenage love triangle, told from three perspectives. regulus as augustine, lily as betty, and james as...james. - content warnings in bold in author's note. if anything, please read those before you proceed! - total word count: 17,640 - available on ao3 under the same username!
