Summary
We don’t work as lovers, butI don’t think we work as strangers either. or; Regulus was the most well known actor of the generation. He was on top of the world, at the peak of his career. Or at least he was, until he disappeared fifteen months ago.
Note
Hello!! Welcome, welcome. This is the very first chapter of I Build It Up To Fall Apart! Im so excited, genuinely. Now, I have a few things to say before the first words of this story are to be read, so if you could take a moment to read this, I would highly appreciate it.1: English isn’t my first language. I’m actually German. I have been vaguely fluent in english for a few years now, but some things like commas and semicolons are still something I don’t fully understand yet2: I am a minor. I won’t say how old I am exactly, but I am in fact under eighteen, so for anyone who’s looking for a spicy fanfiction, this is not at all what you’re looking for. Yes, it will be implied (as the two characters literally had an affair that’s mentioned numerous times throughout the story) but there will be nothing explicit going on.3: I tend to abandon fics very easily. I’ve never finished a single one, and this one definitely has the potential to be thrown out and forgotten about. So, if you can’t deal with unfinished fics, I’d rather you choose another fic to read.4: waaarnings (please note that I’m writing the chapters as we go and I haven’t figured everything out for this one, so the warnings might vary over time. I’ll also add another warning and TW section at every start of a new chapter.): verbal abuse, implied physical abuse, lovebombing, religious trauma, depression, alcoholism, mature language (swearing), past eating disorder.I think that’s all for today. Thank you for your time and enjoy the first chapter!!
