Summary
“Am I dead?” he asked, because he should be dead. He should be at the bottom of that lake, drowning under the bodies of decomposing inferi, but—
“Calm down, Black, you only fell off your broom."
—instead he was two years in the past. Alive. And with a whole new mess to deal with.
or; it's back to time travel, baby!

Summary
James chewed for a moment, hesitating before swallowing. “I was just wondering who my soulmate might be,” he admitted, twirling his fork absentmindedly between his fingers. “I mean, I’m sixteen, Remus, and I still haven’t met them.” He huffed, dropping his fork with a clatter.
Remus, ever the voice of reason, simply shrugged. “It’s not about meeting them, James. You’ll see colour when you fall for them. You might already know them.”
James frowned. He knew Remus was right, but it didn’t make him feel any better. “But everyone else already sees colour!” he groaned, throwing himself back dramatically against the bench.
Remus let out a quiet chuckle before nudging him again. “Have you ever considered that maybe they already love you?”

Summary
“Am I dreaming?” Potter rasps. “Or why are you towering over me like that?”
“Can you swallow?” Regulus barks, unimpressed.
Potter does so pointedly, winces thoroughly, but slaps the grin right back on when he succeeds. “Odd thing to say, but I’ll take it,” he manages to get out, eyes glazing over every few seconds, proving he is clearly out of it.
“I got something for you to swallow so you won’t die on me,” Regulus offers and gets the bezoar out of its box to hold up in front of Potter.
“Happy to swallow anything–” Potter closes his eyes for a moment, obviously in excruciating pain but too proud to ever admit it, “–anything you give me.” He grins crookedly.
“Perfect.” Regulus shoves the stone down his throat and washes it down with a Sleeping Draught.
—
Or: Regulus has always wanted to be a Healer. Once he betrays Voldemort and starts working for the Order, life seems perfectly calm. That is until James Potter manages to almost get himself killed and has to spend a couple of weeks at Regulus' to be healed. Learning how to act around each other while figuring out the curse that hit James proves to be challenging.

Summary
Everyone is born with a soulmark on their forearm, about a sentence long. The sentence is what your soulmate was doing the first time your souls meet; the first time you touch, skin to skin. After you meet, the words change into your soulmate's name.
James loves the concept of soulmates, but has always dreaded meeting his.
Regulus had expected a different type of meeting the first time he read the way he met his soulmate, but he supposes this was fine as well.

Summary
Regulus Black knows exactly what this year holds for him. Ignoring his brother, the Quidditch Cup for the Slytherins, and keeping Evan and Pandora out of trouble. And not one of his plans works out.
But maybe that isn't that bad. Not if James Potter is his stupid prefect partner.

The Way You Look At Me (Too Close To Resist) by Courtsorcererlol
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
“Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard,” came the cheery voice of the conductor, Stan Shunpike, who blinked at Regulus with wide, startled eyes. “Blimey, mate, you look like—”
“The Potter’s house,” Regulus rasped, his voice hoarse and trembling. He shoved a handful of Sickles into Stan’s hand before collapsing onto the nearest seat.
Stan stared for a moment but said nothing. The bus jolted into motion, sending Regulus sprawling against the window. He didn’t care. The world outside blurred into streaks of color, and for the first time in hours, days, fucking weeks he allowed himself to breathe.
The pain throbbed with each beat of his heart, but he ignored it. He pressed his forehead against the cool glass, his gray eyes vacant as he stared at the night rushing past. The Potters. He was going to the Potters.
To Sirius.

Summary
“As for your earlier question. You’re a pureblood—”
“Yes, so you’ve said.”
Regulus scowls. “Don’t interrupt me. Apart from that, you’re also healthy, athletic, and magically gifted. These are all the genetic qualities I’m looking for in the father of my child.”
“I also have all of my teeth and no cavities if you want to check,” James scoffs.
“What? Why would I want to check that?”
“Isn’t that what you do with a breeding stud?”***
To exact vengeance on his parents, Regulus decides to conceive a child with James Potter. It’s a brilliant plan that’s bound to succeed; surely, nothing can possibly go wrong there except for one thing. Regulus doesn’t count on gaining a co-parent with benefits. Or falling in love.

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
In 1981, the war ended with Voldemort’s death. Thirteen years later, Regulus still lives in the shadow of his parents’ contribution to the cause. No matter how hard he works or how much he accomplishes, he can’t escape the weight of his family name.
With the biggest project of his career now in front of him, Regulus leaves London to pose as a Healer on the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. The only hiccup is a variable he never could’ve accounted for: James Potter, whose presence disrupts Regulus’ plans and forces him to reconsider everything he thought he knew.

Summary
The dining room at Grimmauld Place had always felt claustrophobic to Sirius, but tonight was particularly so.
Shadows clung to the high walls, curling in the corners like whispered threats. He could picture his long-dead Mother hiding in the darkness, waiting to cause him pain. Sirius sat hunched forward in a creaky chair, fingers drumming a furious rhythm against the old wood of the table. Across from him, James leaned back with his arms crossed, doing a poor job of pretending not to be tense. Remus sat between them, at one head of the table, hands clasped, stillness disguising the storm behind his amber eyes. Professor Walsh, ever serene, poured tea like they weren’t waiting for a bloody Death Eater to walk through the door.
“I still don’t like it,” Sirius muttered, loud enough to break the silence. “Calling a meeting like this. No details, no heads-up. At Grimmauld of all fucking places. Just, 'show up, be quiet, and trust the headmaster.'"
“You’re not the only one.” James kicked lightly at the table leg. “Since when does Dumbledore give us anything more than the bare minimum?”
“The Order has become more compartmentalized for a reason. Security. No one knows the full picture.”

Summary
“What?” He asks, alarmed.
“As Sirius said, the curse has been modified to a shorter timeline.” Effie says, looking at him wearily ... "If Regulus is not married to a Pureblood within the next hour, he will die.”
Oh.
James stares at the clock. He can feel the tension in the room pressing in on him. No one looks at him then. They turn back to staring at Regulus quietly, watching him slowly die.
The thought occurs to him, but he brushes it off. He’s had some stupid ideas, but this is completely ridiculous. It’s in no way an option.
He stares at Sirius then, eyes red rimmed and face resigned with the kind of grief James knows would follow him every single day. He looks at the boy he would sell his soul in a second to protect. Then he does.
“I’ll do it.” James says firmly.

Summary
Regulus was always quite fond of death. So when he was forced into defying the Dark Lord and his parents, he was excited that it would lead to where he meets his end. Even if that meant finally doing what he had feared for so long.
After being neglected of an option to do anything else besides searching for Voldemort’s secret—and finding it—he wound up in a cave that he just knew would be his resting place.
Except it wasn’t.
After achieving the goal, he was forced into death’s grip but then instantly hauled out before he could be relieved.
Waking up in the body of his 11 year old self with a brother that cares for him once more is the exact opposite of what Regulus needed.
He needed death, not another chance.
Or…
Regulus comes to terms with his life and only hopes for a way out. He didn’t however hope for that way to be through time rewinding until he was back to his first day of Hogwarts, completely erasing the past 7 years. Nor did he ever hope to meet James Potter again.

Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.
***
Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.

Summary
Soulmates. No person with a rational bone in their body would believe in such a stupid concept. Regulus Black certainly doesn’t, so he only scoffs when his brother gifts him a plant that should bring him into the path of his true love on the day it blooms. What a load of rubbish, right?
Then a gorgeous, kind vet arrives on the scene like a knight in shining armor to aid Regulus in his darkest hour, forcing him to question his long-held assumptions.
But even if this James Potter turns out to be his soulmate, or just a decent guy worth his time… does it matter when Regulus is hell-bent on escaping his fate?
