The Snare of the Stag Pt 4 - @leeny-leens - word count: 975 - Starchaser

Regulus didn’t understand when it began to shift.

At first, James���s obsession was suffocating, a constant weight pressing down on him. But as the days turned into weeks, Regulus found himself lingering in places where James might appear. The very presence that had once filled him with dread now stirred something else—something he didn’t want to name. Something that made his pulse quicken, his thoughts spiral.

It was maddening.

But it was also impossible to deny.

Regulus stood in the Astronomy Tower, the cold wind biting at his skin as he stared out over the darkened grounds. He told himself he was here to think, to clear his head, but deep down, he knew the truth.

He was waiting.

The soft creak of the door opening behind him sent a shiver down his spine. He didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

“You always did like the dramatic settings,” James said, his voice warm despite the chill in the air.

Regulus smirked, his gaze still fixed on the horizon. “And you always did like following me.”

James chuckled, stepping closer. “Maybe I just enjoy the view.”

Regulus finally turned to face him, his heart pounding in his chest. James was standing just a few feet away, his hands tucked into his robe pockets, his messy hair ruffled by the wind. His glasses caught the moonlight, but it was the look in his eyes that made Regulus’s breath catch. That intensity—the same unrelenting focus that had haunted him for months—was still there, but now it felt different. Softer. Almost… inviting.

“What do you want, Potter?” Regulus asked, his voice sharper than he intended.

James tilted his head, his lips curving into that familiar smirk. “I think you already know.”

Regulus swallowed hard, his fingers tightening around the edge of the railing. “You’re obsessed,” he said, his voice low. “It’s unhealthy.”

James took another step closer, his gaze never leaving Regulus’s. “And yet, here you are,” he said softly. “Waiting for me.”

Regulus’s stomach twisted, his carefully constructed walls threatening to crumble under the weight of James’s words. “I—” he began, but the words died in his throat as James closed the distance between them.

“You don’t have to pretend anymore, Reg,” James murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. “Not with me.”

Regulus’s breath hitched as James reached out, his fingers brushing against Regulus’s wrist. The touch was light, almost hesitant, but it sent a jolt of electricity through him. For a moment, Regulus wanted to pull away, to push James back and run. But he didn’t.

He couldn’t.

Because as much as he hated to admit it, James was right.

The first time it happened, it was in the shadows of the Forbidden Forest.

Regulus had been walking alone, lost in thought, when James appeared out of nowhere. He didn’t even have time to react before James grabbed his arm, pulling him behind a thick cluster of trees.

“What the hell are you—” Regulus began, but the words were cut off as James pressed him against the rough bark of a tree, his hands on either side of Regulus’s head.

“Stop running,” James said, his voice rough, desperate. “Stop lying to yourself.”

Regulus glared at him, his heart pounding. “I’m not—”

“You are,” James interrupted, his voice rising. “You’ve been lying this whole time, pretending you don’t feel it. But I see it, Reg. I see the way you look at me.”

Regulus’s stomach flipped, his pulse racing. “You’re delusional,” he whispered, but the words lacked conviction.

James leaned in, his face inches from Regulus’s. “Then tell me to stop,” he said, his voice soft but firm. “Tell me to walk away, and I will.”

Regulus opened his mouth to respond, but no sound came out. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion and desire, fear and longing. He hated James for what he’d done, for the way he’d wormed his way into Regulus’s mind, his life.

But he also couldn’t imagine a world without him.

The silence stretched between them, and then, without thinking, Regulus grabbed the front of James’s robes and pulled him closer. Their lips collided in a clash of frustration and need, and for the first time in weeks, Regulus felt like he could breathe.

From that moment on, everything changed. The tension between them didn’t fade—it burned brighter, hotter, consuming them both. Their encounters became a dangerous game, a push-and-pull of power and vulnerability that neither of them could resist.

James was relentless, always pushing Regulus to his limits, testing how far he could go. And Regulus, despite himself, began to crave it. He hated the way James made him feel—exposed, vulnerable, alive—but he couldn’t stay away.

They met in secret, their trysts hidden from the prying eyes of the school. In abandoned classrooms, shadowy corners, the Astronomy Tower under the cover of night. Each time was more intense than the last, their connection a volatile mix of obsession and desire.

But beneath the passion, there was an undercurrent of something darker. James’s obsession hadn’t faded—it had only grown stronger. And Regulus, despite his best efforts, was falling deeper and deeper into the web James had spun around him.

Regulus knew it couldn’t last. Their connection was too volatile, too dangerous. But every time he tried to pull away, James reeled him back in, his words a mixture of promises and threats that left Regulus feeling more trapped than ever.

“You belong to me,” James said one night, his voice low and fierce as he pinned Regulus against the wall of an abandoned corridor. “And I’m not letting you go.”

Regulus’s chest tightened, his fear and desire warring within him. “You can’t keep doing this,” he whispered, his voice trembling.

James smirked, his fingers brushing against Regulus’s jaw. “Watch me.”

CRIMINAL VS DETECTIVE

a detective who is obsessing over solving a case involving a ‘criminal’ who steals precious monuments but does bring these items back under a ‘one’ condition…

which is forcing officers of the law in san myshuno to reveal their deepest injustice secrets, that are long hidden from the public eyes..

hhhhhh I need to properly reread Percy jackson again. This post brought to you by the fact I was about to make a post about a scene I very vividly remember of Will Solace trying to convince Pollux not to keep fighting with his good arm broken before Percy manages to convince him not to bc he promised Dionysus, then thought to myself "huh maybe I should fact check that- I mean I did also convince myself that Travis stoll died in this battle when he actually just went to college." And guess what? That scene ✨️didn't happen.✨️ Pollux was trying to convince Percy to let him rejoin the fight very half heartedly, while propped against a tree, and Percy was just like "hmmmm... no"
