Title: Rarely Pure and Never Simple
Author: cassiara
Prompt: S41 by goldentruth813
Pairing(s): James/Teddy, (minor Albus/Scorpius)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~13,000
Content/Warnings: Explicit sexual content, swearing, pining, curse-breaking, demisexual Teddy
Summary: James really enjoys his life. He likes sharing a flat with his best mate, Teddy. He likes being work-partners with said best mate. He likes going out at the weekends and shagging random girls. At least, that’s what he tells people. The truth isn’t that simple, and when James accidentally manages to get hit by a curse that makes him unable to lie he learns that hiding the fact that he’s completely and utterly arse over tit in love with Teddy is more complicated than expected.
Author's Notes: First of all, thank you to Goldentruth813 for writing a prompt that got me out of the writers-block from hell. I hope you don’t mind that I took a few liberties with it, it kinda ran away from me. Second, thank you to the mods of the fest for hosting, and for being incredibly patient and understanding with extensions. Finally - thank you so much to my incredible beta, Keyflight790, who came into this last minute and not only made this readable, but also motivated me to actually finish.
