Summary
“Excuse me, you what?”
“I want you to take Regulus out on a date,” Sirius repeats casually as if he hasn’t just said the most absurd thing ever, watching the Snitch that had escaped James’ hand the second Sirius had made the ridiculous request the first time.
James stares at his best friend in disbelief, because what?
“Look, if you go on a date with Regulus, I can go out on my Moony date. My parents will realise that their stupid idea of cursing me with only getting to date once Regulus does didn’t work out because look at that, Regulus also dates! They reverse the magic, Regulus can happily go back to refusing to date anyone, I can go back happily dating Remus, and you can happily go back doing whatever you had planned to do this summer. Quidditch, I assume.”

Summary
Evan went through some humiliations in life, but receiving an invitation to his ex-fiancé's wedding with the guy he left him for was probably the worst of them all, and the plus-one invitation was a hit to Evan's pride.
He didn't have someone to go with him, and though the simplest solution was to not go, Evan thought that going with the most beautiful man by his side to show his ex how much he was over him was the perfect payback. The problem was that Evan had no idea who that man could be.
Until he meets Barty. Barty who's beautiful, sharp, alluring and the opposite of his ex. The perfect date.
Barty, who's also very expensive and doesn't work with the type of date Evan needs at all."So, to make sure I got all right, you want to pretend we're dating until the wedding so you can rub in your ex's face?" Barty asks, unimpressed. "And you'll pay me for every date at the price I suggested? Without the sex?"
"That's right," Evan nods. "I have a lot of money, I can spend it all on you. No sex involved, I'll be extremely professional."

Summary
“Listen, love, you’re not going to be happy about this, but the press is going to love it.” Narcissa, Regulus’s agent as well as cousin, says through the phone.
“That’s a great start to the conversation.” Regulus retorts.
“Oh, hush. So, the musical coordinator has been talking to your brother recently…”
“No. No. Absolutely not.” Regulus immediately shuts down.
“Reggie, listen. Your new movie is so highly anticipated that having The Marauders write a song specifically for it? Everyone will go wild.”
“I don’t care. I don’t want it.”
“Well, it’s not actually up to you. I’m only telling you as a nicety. The Marauders have already agreed.”
or, Regulus is the highest-paid actor of his generation, and when his brother's band agrees to write a song for his film, the brothers are forced to speak to each other again after seven years.

Soup Knife and The Art of Doing Everything Perfectly by elin_vls
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Regulus Black is autistic, emotionally constipated, and hyperfixated on pottery. He lives alone, avoids eye contact, and cohabits with a cat named Soup Knife who commits regular acts of terrorism.
Then James Potter shows up: loud, glittery, guitar-playing, singing James and ruins everything by being annoyingly kind, weirdly hot, and completely unfazed by the cat trying to kill him.
One shattered bowl later, Regulus is back in his old punk band, internet-famous, and somehow dating the human equivalent of a sunrise. By accident.
He hates it. He loves it. He’s coping badly.
“I was just trying to glaze a bowl and now I have a boyfriend. Someone sedate me.”

Summary
The home glowed, golden and alive, as though holding its breath.
A knock broke the stillness.
Light--brighter than the sun and filled with green--spilled through the house.
And in the hush that followed, silence lingered, like the black of night.
"What are we supposed to do with a kid!"

Summary
Regulus Black hates James Potter. He hates his obnoxious attitude, the way he never thinks before he acts, and he especially hates him for the horrible thing he did while they were at Hogwarts, the thing he will never forgive him for.
He doesn't, however, hate Jace, the man he's been talking to through a wall for the past few weeks, ever since his friend dragged him to Sirius's new and absolutely ridiculous dating club Illuminate, where people get to know each other through enchanted barriers.
These two facts have nothing to do with each other.
Just so you know.
---
James Potter is newly single and horrible at saying no to his best friend. So, he somehow finds himself sitting in a room with Ara, growing steadily obsessed with everything about the man. The catch? The damn partition between them makes it so James has no idea what Ara looks or sounds like.
At the same time, James is struggling with guilt over the things he did while his was young and stupid. He's worked hard to become a better person now, but he knows that he's hurt people, and it still eats at him.
These two facts have nothing to do with each other.
Just so you know.-

But, at some point, he starts to believe, finding his “forever home” doesn’t quite exist. Can you even blame him?

Summary
“For one week, you’ll follow each other around. Learn each other’s schedules, go to each other’s events, hell—even meet each other’s friends. If by the end of the week you still feel the same way, Regulus, you can write all of the articles that you want. You can write about how terrible Mr. Potter is here, and how toxic the culture here is at school, and…well, whatever you and your writer friends do.”
(or: regulus black writes an article about the toxic masculinity present in the football program at his school, and star quarterback james potter is dead-set on proving him wrong.)

Hermione Granger and the Trials and Tribulations of Time Travel by Clswrites
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
18 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Hermione Granger has always been known as a highly rational person. She was often thought of as the voice of reason, having a thought out and researched explanation for most of the problematic circumstances that the Golden Trio would find themselves in, constantly putting herself on the line for the greater good and the people she loved.
So when too much is asked of Hermione once again, whilst in a grief torn state, she takes the last hope to be able to fix her friend's terrible fates. All of this is further complicated by a completely unpredicted soul bond that will certainly change the future as she knows it. Hermione must decide if she should distance herself or forge changes to better the outcome of her future friends lives; should she shoulder the burden of changing the tides of the war alone or let the ghosts of her future help guide her along the way.Series

Summary
The envelope was there, at the polished wooden table in his foyer, waiting for him. James could see the company name printed in fine black letters over the front, a name he had never expect to find on an envelope addressed to him: Grimmauld Studios. Dread clawed at his stomach, his mind conjuring the image of storm grey eyes fanned by thick black lashes.
What did they want from him?
James Potter is a rising actor with a promising career. But life as he knew it is about to come crashing down when he finally meets Regulus Black, a name that all the films wanted to showcase, perfect and stunning. The brightest start in Hollywood, and the one that had the most to hide. For all his fame and success, Regulus Black remained an enigma, signed exclusively with Grimmauld Studios, his renowned family's business.
And was Sirius' brother.
And James Potter has just been offered a contract with them, for a film that might just mean the beginning of the end. What more could be hiding inside the glittering halls of the House of Black? What ghosts lurked in the shadows, behind the cameras and practiced smiles?

A Modern AU Marauders texting with prose fic set at University.
Mainly Wolfstar - Will they? Won’t they? (They obviously will...)
And a little bit of Jily too.This is my first multi-chaptered fic, so any feedback, good or bad or any tags you think need to added then please do let me know!
Rated E for explicit sexual content, but these chapters are all marked in the notes and easy to skip without interrupting the plot 😊
EDIT: As of 28/07/21 I’m going through and adding bits/taking bits out so it flows better with the other parts in the series - let me know if you spot any plot holes that need sorting!

chew me up, but don’t spit me out by damagecontrol (microdamage)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
08 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
Regulus has it all figured out. He keeps men on a rotating roster so none can get too close, works nights as a dancer to make the most of his chronic insomnia, and pushes everything he doesn’t want to remember about the past ten years into the recesses of his mind. It’s easier to pretend none of it ever happened.
But when James Potter crashes into Regulus’ life with his fancy sports car, wealth beyond measure, and devil’s smile, it marks a switch in the natural order of things. James is a client; Regulus isn’t allowed to fall in love with him. Except James is the first man in a long time who can see past Regulus’ carefully constructed façade, and who could ever resist the temptation of being known?
Or, this is a story about identity, addiction, self-expression, and love in all of the varying shapes they can take.
