Regulus’ best friend Dorcas convinces him to go on a summer trip with her. She dubs it ‘operation make Reg smile again'. It's his chance to break from the cycle of toxic mistakes he keeps repeating in London. James wouldn’t know casual if she walked up to him and introduced herself. That’s why he’s got a rule to protect himself from heartbreak: only hook up with tourists on their last night in town. When James learns the gorgeous tourist he’s just met is around for six weeks, he gets spooked. Six weeks is a long time, but also no time at all. As the Black brothers unexpectedly reunite after ten years apart, James and Regulus are forced to spend time together and James starts to think that maybe rules are meant to be broken. Getting involved with Regulus is going to hurt, but James believes it'll be worth it. Either way, James knows what he signed up for. Or does he? OR James and Regulus have a summer fling that they promised their friends they wouldn’t have. Remus and Sirius discover their mutual hatred is just pent-up sexual tension. Dorcas and Marlene are always winning, even when they’re not. It’s a cruel summer for all. I love you (ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?)

Regulus Black was fifteen the first time his name was called at a reaping. He's twenty\-five when it happens to him again. A lot has changed in that time, and one of them is that he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it home. Nothing or no one will stop him, not even James Potter. James Potter has no plans to stop Regulus Black from making it home. In fact, his plans revolve around the opposite. He has his reasons, but he's made his choice to get Regulus out of the arena, even knowing it'll be the last thing he ever does. Sirius Black was sixteen when he volunteered to take his little brother's place in the arena. At twenty\-six, without the option to do it again, he has no choice but to be a mentor to his brother and best friend, knowing that only one of them can make it back out. Two names called, a mentor on the verge of falling apart, and more secrets and grief between all of them than they know how to handle. None of them are prepared for what comes next, or how far they'll go to make it through.

Regulus hates his brother—this is fact—and as his best friend, Remus would never betray him by falling in love with aforementioned brother. Sirius hates his entire family—this is also fact—and as his best friend, James would never betray him by falling in love with a member of it. The problem is, none of them are even aware that it's happening.
