Summary
It’s the middle of the night, a red glow is filtering through the curtains, and Nancy once again finds herself naked in Steve Harrington’s bed, watching him leave.
He’s sat at the end of the mattress, leaning to pull on his discarded socks, his shirt still missing in the rubble of the evening’s activities. If he knows she’s awake, he doesn’t acknowledge it, which leaves Nancy to stare at the expanse of his back- at the freckles she can spot even in the dark, and the angry marks she’s left against his shoulder blades.
The sight isn’t unfamiliar.Steve never sticks around for long these days. And wishing he would stay is a solitary, selfish pastime of Nancy’s.

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
At first, Sirius had simply perfected the art of silence under Veritaserum, and been content with that. Silence was safest in that house. But Walburga had not relented in the frequency of her dosages, and Sirius, who had always been a perfectionist, took it as a challenge. By fourteen he could tell a lie unflinching while it coursed through his veins. By fifteen he could do it with a smile on his face. By sixteen he could make it look effortless.
Tell us something.
Sirius grinned sharply, and with practiced ease, he lied: “I am the pride and joy of the Noble House of Black, and Walburga’s favorite son.”
OR
The Marauders take Veritaserum, and quickly realize it’s not Sirius’s first time.

“After one too many hits to the head from a Bludger, you’ve forgotten the past ten years,” Malfoy said slowly, staring at her as if she were dumb. “You’ve forgotten you have kids and you’ve forgotten me. Your husband. Which is rather rude, you must admit.”

Summary
The lake is deep and mysterious, calling like a siren to lure unsuspecting people into its waters. It’s powerful but in a more secretive way than a loud storm. The storm makes sure you know its presence, the water waits for you until it’s too late to run back. Whether it be from a whirlpool or a rip current that will quite literally rip you from the land.
Just as powerful and dangerous as the storm.
Regulus has always thought of himself as water. Not the fluidity or flexibility in life but the deep and haunting threat that stays quiet.
Sirius is the storm.

Summary
Regulus and Sirius had both hoped that things would get better once he was finally away from their parents. Away from them and their toxicity, choking the life out of him with every breath he took.
It was a hard punch in the gut when they realized that wasn't true.

Summary
Regulus Black has been running for as long as he can remember—ever since he and his brother fled their oppressive family home at a young age, determined to make it on their own.
But the years have worn him down, and the weight of survival has turned his life into a blur of exhausting jobs, empty nights, and endless isolation. Now, Regulus drifts through life as a ghost, quietly working as a university library assistant and sneaking into Economics lectures, hoping that knowledge will offer him a way out of the past that still haunts him.
But when a certain professor hires him, Regulus meets his son James, his complete opposite, who craves to show him the beauty of connection.
-
Or:
A pretty angsty, but still fluffy story that simultaneously follows the past of Sirius and Reg running away and doing anything to survive, and the present, where Regulus is pretty much a cold son of a bitch and James is absolutely whipped and does the most heart-warming shit for him. Also ft. Fleamont being a paternal figure to Reg, which I adore :)

What if Sirius and Regulus were twins, instead?
---
“He does it to protect you,” Remus whispers, accidentally spilling his thoughts in the darkness.
“Wish he didn’t,” Sirius whispers back, so quiet that Remus probably wouldn’t have heard him if he wasn’t a werewolf. “It’s unfair.”
“How so?” Remus murmurs in return, his brows furrowed; something Sirius, of course, can’t see.
“I want to protect him too,” Sirius replies and his voice is hollow. “We were supposed to protect each other. Or I, mostly, since I’m older.”
“By minutes Sirius.” It slips out of his mouth before he even registers the thought.
“Still,” Sirius mutters brokenly. “He wants to protect me, which I suppose he does but he’s also leaving me in absolute misery. It’s hell Remus, not knowing where he is. My magic still searches for his, you know?”
Remus doesn't, but nods anyway.
