Summary
Twelve years is a long time to stay away. Long enough for old mistakes to gather dust, for memories to blur at the edges.
But some things don't fade. Not really.Regulus has spent years practising the art of avoidance, but some lessons demand revision.
Especially when the past insists on catching up. -

Summary
James Potter thought he was done with the Order. With the war. Then, years later, Regulus Black shows up at his door — pale, scarred, and very much alive.
The Ministry calls it protection. The Order calls it precaution. James calls it a nightmare.
But Lily won’t turn him away. Harry likes him. And Regulus, for all his sharp edges and ghosts, seems determined to make himself useful.
Forced under the same roof, James and Regulus learn that survival is easier than forgiveness — and forgiveness is easier than whatever this is becoming.
Or: Regulus Black comes back from the dead, and James Potter doesn’t know what to do with him.

Summary
Regulus Black has two obsessions.
1) Hating his older brother’s best friend, James Potter. Has Regulus met the man before now? No. But he has deemed James Potter his mortal enemy since he was ten years old.
2) A certain voice actor by the pseudonym Jay, who makes “spicy” audios.
Regulus has always known the universe to have a sick sense of humour but he didn’t know it was this cruel. He’d recognize that voice anywhere. To Regulus’s shock and abject horror, James Potter is Jay, there’s no doubt about it.

Summary
"My name is Harry."
Harry's eyes peer into Regulus and it feels like the kid is staring into his soul. If he's correct and this kid does live here, this is a terrible idea. He is not good with kids.
"You're meant to say your name now." Harry says as he bounces between his feet. Even this kid is calling him out on it.
"Right, I'm Regulus."
"You look like Uncle Paddy."
What the fuck is a paddy? It kind of sounds like that nickname Sirius sometimes had written around Sirius' room. Then it clicked; the kid does mean Sirius' nickname, Padfoot. The stupid nickname he and his band of marauders, as they called themselves, came up with. So that means this kid must belong to one of them. Clearly, it is not Sirius. Remus is definitely gay, so that's a no. And this kid looks nothing like Peter. That only leaves…
Oh fuck his life. This is James Potter's kid. The hair, the grin, the massive amounts of unused energy radiating off him.
Fuck, he needs to get out of here.
