Fics like All Pain Is Practice

A Muggle AU in which a ballet dancer and a rugby player call it “casual” while accidentally developing feelings, catastrophically failing at communication, and pretending it’s all totally fine. ---- “Why the hell are you here ruining my lunch, James?” James rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, trying to find words that didn’t sound completely insane. He failed. “I... don’t think you should be sleeping with Evan anymore.” Regulus stared at him like he’d just proposed murdering the Queen. (...) “If you need a fuck buddy for, you know, stress relief and stuff… You could just use me.” (...) “Come again?” “If the position’s open,” James said, attempting a grin, “I’m applying.” ---- Cover art by @m_sunmir (IG) Listen to the playlist here.
