    Summary

    Regulus Black is the academy’s "prodigy" a dancer so flawless he barely breathes, carrying the suffocating weight of the Black family legacy in every line of his body. To him, James Potter is everything he’s been taught to despise, loud and effortlessly talented.

    But as the career-defining Gala gets closer, the cracks in Regulus’s armor start to show. When a high-pressure rehearsal ends in a public breakdown, it’s James who finds him trembling in a dark hallway. What starts as a moment of vulnerability turns into a mess of heated arguments and lingering looks that neither of them can find their way out of.

    Summary

    District 12's Will Byers has never claimed to be lucky for a single day of his life, but being reaped for the hunger games twice in a span of five years? That has to be a joke, even for someone as unlucky as he is.

    At the very same time, Mike Wheeler from District 1 could not care less if he wins or not. The Games are not terrifying to him, they’re just something he exists for now. He doesn’t want to die, sure, but living in such a boring, repetitive world doesn’t mean much to him anyways.

    Really, neither of them expected to find love in this hell on earth.

    Summary

    “Oh my God.” Sirius breathes out like he’s been stabbed and slowly looks over at James, who’s staring down at the puzzle of Monet’s water lily pond like it has personally wronged him. “James, my baby brother is dating Barty Crouch Jr.”

    James doesn’t even notice as he tightens his grip on the piece in his hand. “Yeah, I gathered that.”

    “We need to get them to break up.”

    Remember what James said about him and Sirius always being on the same wavelength?

    Yeah, this is exactly what he was talking about.

    (or: Sirius, a concerned brother, and James, a supportive friend, decide to get Regulus to see that he deserves a better boyfriend than Barty. Really, how hard can it be and, more importantly, what could possibly go wrong? It's not like James will scheme his way into falling in love, right?... Right?!)

    Summary

    Regulus Black, once a teenage pastry chef prodigy, has since ascended to the heights of culinary acclaim as a Michelin-starred chef de cuisine. Due to his uncle's waning health, he takes on the responsibility of managing the quaint, but disorganized, French restaurant L’Astre together with a team of old friends and other eccentric souls. With aspirations to transform it into a place of widespread renown, Regulus dives headfirst into the challenge. However, this mission takes an unexpected twist when his new sous chef, James Potter, steps into the kitchen.

    Summary

    It’s been three years since James’ father died. Two weeks since he’s made the time to visit his mother. Three years since James has heard from Regulus Black. Ten years since Regulus left. One year since James proposed to Lily. Five years since he’s had a cigarette.

    Time isn't a thief. Letting it pass is the easiest thing on earth. Easier than living or dying. James lets it. He ignores anything that might keep him up at night. Choice is an illusion.

    If only Regulus stayed gone.

    It still wouldn’t go away. Regulus figured it never would. This was exactly what he’d hoped to avoid. A shame, Regulus Black had never been a lucky man.

    “I wish sometimes that I could go back and do it all again,” James whispered finally.

    Regulus moved to stand behind James. Just close enough to reach out and touch his shoulder. With the stark reminder still sitting between them, Regulus kept his hands to himself. “Why? What would you change? You could live ten more lives, and you still wouldn’t have the courage to change even a single thing.”

    Summary

    Regulus Black has one problem: James Potter is dead.

    He has another: this has happened before.

    Using an ancient and utterly illegal Black family blood ritual, Regulus has spent years returning to the past and trying to change the future. But no matter what he does, James dies, and the war goes on.

    So this time, Regulus is going to do something different.

    He’s going to end the war himself.

    Summary

    crack open the pbrs and crank up the talking heads baby - your college experience awaits! the one where sirius and regulus are reunited for the school year and everyone's best-laid plans go astray

    or, my semi-autiobiographical marauders-au-as-love-letter-to-small-liberal-arts-colleges, featuring lots of coffee shop drama, gay awakenings, terrible decision-making, and (loving) pre-med bashing. resemblances to real people, places, and events are totally intentional.
    general CW for substance use and abuse, as well as SA, DV, and mental health discussions.
    much more of an ATYD/Crimson Rivers/Choices fic than a HP fic. in this house we do not support jowling kowling rowling
    - updates are kinda infrequent i can't lie but this fic WILL be finished eventually

    - title from "this must be the place (naive melody)" by talking heads

    At thirteen, Regulus Black had been painfully, humiliatingly in love with James Potter.

    Ten years later, James is back in London after a year in Australia, and Regulus has moved on. He has a job in publishing, a flat in Brixton, a very attractive boyfriend, and absolutely no interest in revisiting the most embarrassing crush of his adolescence.

    Unfortunately, James Potter has other ideas.

    Or: Regulus grew out of wanting James. James is less prepared for that than either of them expected.

    Summary

    The wizarding world is at war, and there are clear sides. James Potter and Regulus Black have chosen wildly different paths for themselves, yet somehow they still end up in the same situation: fighting in the streets of Hogsmeade, bloodied and full of adrenaline and the desire to leave the battle alive, unharmed, and free. When they find themselves inexplicably sent 14 years into the future, James and Regulus must first figure out the mystery of how they got there and how to get back, and then they must save the world.

    Summary

    Regulus Black is not a person who was born - he is a fire that was set.

    GRIEF
    [ɡriːf] – Noun, French:
    - ' 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥. '

    Regulus is everything his parents raised him to be. James wholeheartedly disagrees. Hearts become tangled, the Dark Lord's war brews behind the scenes, and James isn't sure love is enough to stop Sirius' younger brother anymore - because love doesn't conquer everything.

    And anyone who thinks it does is a fool.

    Remus moved his hands over his jacket pocket, frowning when he couldn't feel the familiar shape of the lighter.

    “Need a light?” a voice spoke to his left.

    Remus turned his attention to a boy leaning against the casino wall. The first thing he noticed about the boy was his raven hair, which lay in a messy shag against his shoulders. The second thing he noticed about the boy was his smirk. It irritated Remus in an incomprehensible way.

    OR

    Remus Lupin never went to Hogwarts, but was raised in the Muggle world as an orphan. He learned to survive by using his magic to steal from innocent people. But when a certain dark haired boy finds him outside a bar and offers to teach him real magic, Remus is thrown head first into a magical world in the middle of a war.

    Summary

    When Sirius Black dies, it feels like having one of your vital organs ripped from you, and your body spends your entire life trying to recover. Regulus Black would pick lungs, because he had not been able to breathe since his brother died. James Potter would pick his brain, because thinking and comprehending the fact his best friend was dead was impossible. And Remus Lupin would pick his heart, no world that contained him and not Sirius was one in which Remus felt anything at all. Or, in which Regulus Black wants to die, James Potter needs to remember how to live and the pair of them become part-time true crime investigators and full-time infatuated with one another.
