Fics like Boxes

If James Potter excels at one thing, it’s compartmentalizing. Everything in his life—Quidditch, classes, relationships—fits neatly into its own box. It’s how he keeps his overly affectionate friendship with Sirius from crossing the line into something more. Even when their dynamic begins to blur the societal boundary between platonic and romantic, the boxes are there to protect him. But then something shifts. New feelings arise, ones James wasn’t prepared for, and he builds more boxes to contain them. He pours everything inside, seals them shut, and puts them on a shelf to deal with later. Except James has another skill: punishing himself. He opens the boxes before he’s ready, confronting the truth he’s been avoiding—he’s in love with two of his best friends. One shares his bed, and the other is hopelessly in love with the first. Certainly, neither could ever see him the same way. Or so he assumes.
