James/Regulus

For fleshdress. This originally intended to be angsty, but instead turned out rather soppy (for James/Reg, anyway) and doesn't involve Knockturn Alley in the slightest. I'm sorry. ♥

Do you remember that time in the hot air balloon cafe where I tried to bully Roz into cross-posting? And then said to you that I wasn't bullying you the same because you were a crack!fic writer? I was completely and utterly wrong.

This is absolutely beautifully written. I am so glad this is mine because I intend to covet it. Leaving aside the story and the characterisation, both of which are lovely, there is something incredibly effective about your use of language.

This time Regulus doesn’t turn away, and James watches him with such intensity that he’s scared that he can see inside, and know all the things that he does not, will not, say. There’s something different in James’ smile, something new, that Regulus doesn’t quite know how to take. It’s not sharp like before, always a flash of teeth away from dangerous; instead there is gentleness in the curve of his lips, softness in his blush that is more than just sex and sweat.That whole paragraph is just unique and perfect

Oh darling, I'm ever so, ever so pleased that you like it! I did worry, especially as they wanted to ignore your prompt and mooch around in bed instead! Thank you so much for your loveliness, and just huge, huge love for you. ♥

You write the most beautiful, moving romantic fic, you really do. James/Regulus isn't exactly my OTP, but you draw me into their feelings every single time, dammit. So lovely. ♥ And the last line is measured and sober and brilliant.

I'm afraid I'm secretly (or not so-secretly) a terribly big girl! I'm so glad that you liked it, and thank you so much for your comment: it really means a lot. And if I ever get a straight!James, he will be entirely dedicated to you. ♥

Ooo, that was lovely! I'm trying to decide which part I liked best -- which is difficult as the whole thing was so beautiful!

I really like this line, Regulus finds himself submitting to it like an addiction: that James has this power over him is a terrifying revelation. with Reg's realization about James. But, I also loved these lines They fuck, and it’s like the sunshine after a storm. This time Regulus doesn’t turn away, and James watches him with such intensity that he’s scared that he can see inside, and know all the things that he does not, will not, say. which were equally gorgeous.

I'm so glad to see fic from you again -- you have your own perfect style of writing and it always makes for a wonderful read!
