Summary
James and Sirius save a boy who is on the run from Death-Eaters. They find out too late that the boy they saved is none other than Sirius' Death-Eater younger brother, Regulus Black, who is not acting quite like himself; broken, mute, and desperate.
With his history, the Order believes it's a manipulative performance. The truth is much more complicated than they all know, and also much simpler: he just needs his big brother again.

Summary
What if Icarus flew too high, not because of his pride, but because of love? If he flew towards the blistering heat that scorched his skin, and all he felt was delicious warmth, until the moment he fell towards the sea. What if, when Icarus had the slightest taste of freedom, he fell in love with the Sun?
OR
Regulus Black falls for a boy who smiles like pure sunshine runs in his veins. James Potter falls for a boy who was doomed from the start. They're a tragedy, a tale that's been told hundreds of times. But sometimes, when the tale is retold, the story changes. And sometimes it never does.
A/N: Currently, I try to update once a month, but I don't always manage it bc grad school hates me. I'm hoping to end this fic around 60-65ish chapters

Summary
The Dark Lord is dead. The Order won.
Regulus Black, traitor and Voldemort’s favorite plaything, should be rotting in Azkaban—but his knowledge of the Horcruxes bought him a different fate: exile, invisibility, a life erased.
No wand. No name. No mercy.
And no one knows about the child.

Summary
It’s 2022, and James Potter is both single and depressed. But after a strange encounter with a psychic (?) involving psychedelics and discussions about the multiverse, James begins to have crazy dreams about a magic world. In one of these dreams, his desperate attempt to save a drowning boy somehow sends him careening into a dangerous and magical universe (circa 1979), stuck with none other than a skeptical Regulus Black as his guide. Chaos inevitably ensues.
Back in 2022, a different Regulus Black is once again estranged from his brother and therefore his brothers’ stupid friends, including James Potter. But after a ridiculous and infuriating run in with what Regulus believes to be the James Potter he knows (or used to know), Regulus is forced to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about the way the world works. Chaos once again inevitably ensues.
Or:
A Very Non-Magical James Potter from 2022 and a Very Magical James Potter from 1979 accidentally swap universes, and now must figure out how to get back to their own worlds. Oh, and Regulus Black is inextricably involved in both universes, which is obviously just a coincidence.
