Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

Summary
“Come here often?”
How stupid, is the first thing Regulus thinks, before he looks up and thinks, how beautiful. It’s unfair, really.
“Really? That’s the line you go with?” Regulus responds, making a show of putting his bookmark in his book and taking out one of his earbuds. James just interrupted him, not that there was any reading to interrupt.
James shrugs. “I’m out of practice, I guess. Is this spot taken?”
“That’s… that’s just sand.”
or
regulus being dragged along on a family vacation to babysit his cousin turns into a summer fling, reuniting with an estranged brother, and way too many steps out of his comfort zone.

Summary
James thought he wanted Lily—that had always made sense. But now that their relationship is over, he isn’t sure what the next step is, or why it feels like there’s an endless pit dragging him down, down, down.
The only thing keeping him afloat these days is, strangely enough, his best friend’s little brother. Well, Sirius will understand. If the only other option is James drowning—he’ll understand. Right?

Summary
“Anything else you need to borrow?”
“Yes,” James pants a little out of breath. “Your name.”
“You want to borrow my name?” The pretty neighbour crosses his arms and leans against his door frame. “How are you planning on giving it back to me?”
James sucks his lower lip between his teeth and considers the question only for a second. “Screaming, later, if you want me to.”

or: James finds out his new neighbour is very pretty, Regulus finds out his new neighbour is very bad at baking, and both find a lot of excuses for James to knock on Regulus' door again

Summary
“You don’t know the first thing about me.”
“I could say the same to you.”
“You’re pretty easy to figure out,” Remus snapped, “Spoilt rich boy drinks himself to death every night and terrorises the locals. It’s a bit of a stereotype, isn’t it?”
Eyes glinting, Sirius tilted his head, and he was speaking, but Remus was too distracted by how close their faces suddenly were, by how he could feel the heat radiating off Sirius, and what he could smell; coconut-scented shampoo, his aftershave, and a dark lick of smoke.
“Am I terrorising you?” He whispered.
Remus bit down on his tongue, “Yes.”
“How terrible,” Sirius tilted his head to the side, “Someone should stop me.”
Remus is stuck in his painfully whimsical home-town, juggling multile jobs while dreaming of a future beyond it all, when Sirius Black arrives, carrying a dangerous amount of personal baggage and a penchant for trouble. To put it lightly, they don't get on.

Summary
“I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
***
After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Sirius Black isn't impressed with Salem at Halloween. It's too crowded, too touristy, and filled with cheesy, fake magic. That is, until he meets a handsome shop owner (and his bespectacled best friend) who offers to show him and Lily the "real Salem."

Summary
James slid to the floor across from him. It came with the easiness of familiarity that rooted itself deep into the body. Memories locked in muscle. They’d sat like this countless of times; a stance reserved for drunken nonsense after a long night out, for confessions, for musings and fears, for pockets of comfortable silence, for nothing but the radio.
This was the James from back then—perpetually sun-soaked, worry-less James—who handed out his little mercies and bathed you in light.
x x x
Regulus leaves his parents at 17, finding shelter with Sirius at the Potters' home somewhere along the rocky shores of Devon. What follows are the good years, then the unspeakable ones, and then, inexplicably—like a roach, a true Black—Regulus comes out the other end alive.
He just doesn't expect to stumble into the easy solace of James Potter and his five-year-old son.

“Do I have something on my face?” James whispers to his friends, and then immediately wishes he hadn’t. What if the reason for all the staring is a love bite that Regulus placed unfortunately high up on his neck, above the safety of the shirt collar?

Summary
When Regulus cut ties with his family, he cut ties with everyone. Now he’s perfectly happy in the life he’s built for himself running a bookshop in a quaint little town by the sea (even if it does mean spending Christmas by himself).
James Potter has never known how to leave well enough alone.
Or,
James takes it upon himself to drag Regulus home for Christmas and an unexpected snow storm rolls in, stranding them together over the holiday with no lights, no power, and no heat. Enjoy!
