Summary
Regulus Black is seven when he's sent to the Highlands. He's seven when he meets James Potter.
~~~
It's as Regulus tails his brother, the two boys winding like a serpent between shoppers and students and abandoned outdoor tables, that Sirius runs straight into James Potter's back. Startled, James Potter turns and steps aside, pulling Sirius along too and inquiring about his wellbeing. Regulus, of course, is running, and - being a sickly seven-year-old with very little experience sprinting around narrow icy streets - struggles to slow down. His legs are careening out of control. His foot catches on a loose cobblestone. Regulus is catapulted into the air and, bless his soul, lands upside down and head first in a particularly large snowdrift.
Regulus, being a sickly seven-year-old, wails for help. Sirius gives himself a stitch, he laughs so hard.
~~~Kiss the dust - to fall to the ground/ to fail
Kiss my ass - used to tell someone that you will not do what they want you to do
Eat my dust/ left in the dust - used when you're confident you are out-performing your opponent/ when your opponent is far ahead of you -

Think of them like twins, they're separate but also together
I do not support J. K. Rowling at all - the world and characters she wrote grew arms and legs and are now owned by the fans sorry not sorry <3

Summary
When James, a famous children's author, suddenly requests that Regulus creates the art for his new book, Regulus thinks there must be a mistake. He normally illustrates fantasy novels, not books for younger readers. But when he reads the first part of James's book, Regulus realises that it's very different from his previous ones. This is a fantasy book for adults. And Regulus is hooked from the very first page.

Summary
James opens his eyes, and spots Regulus across the floor. He freezes too, and suddenly the tension is back, crackling through the room like a live wire waiting to be dropped in a pool of water.
They wind through the crowd and, without an audible word, Regulus’ hands find themselves wound around James’ shoulders, as the fireman catches his waist and pulls him closer.
“You look delicious.” James says into his ear, curving his head down to whisper against Regulus’ neck. “Ready to let me take a bite?”
___Or. Regulus gets stuck in an elevator with his brother. The pair of firefighters that rescue them are REALLY hot, so obviously they ask them both on a double date. Sirius and Remus start dating immediately. But Regulus and James have to make things more difficult for themselves and everyone else by rage baiting each other into making the first move.
