Summary
“Everything will be different now.” She continues. “Starting today...more will be expected of you than ever before. And you can not fail me–fail your family. Do you understand?”
“Yes, mother.” Because of course he does. Regulus understands what today means. He knows that he will never get a moment to be truly and completely alone again. That is why he had slipped away to the music room instead of attending breakfast. It was his last moment of peace. His goodbye to his old life in which he could enjoy his solitude. Because after today, all eyes would be on him and his family. After today, he would never be allowed to wander anywhere without supervision. Not even in his own home. Because today is the day he becomes a prince.
~~~
King Riddle has declared the Noble House of Black as his heirs to the Pureblood Throne among a viper pit of power hungry, envious nobles. Regulus and Sirius struggle to navigate life as royals where everyone they meet could want them dead, even those closest to them.

Summary
"Regulus, I'm so sorry," Pandora stammers. "I should have told you, but I didn't know what to do. I was scared—I am scared."
"Pandora," James interrupts. "How does it end?"
Pandora very clearly hesitates. She tightens her grip on her book bag before taking a deep breath, "There's a prophecy. Well, there are two prophecies. This one—the one I saw, it ends with Regulus. If it doesn't—"
"If it doesn't then what?" Regulus demands, his fists clenched by his sides.
"If it doesn't," Pandora whispers, her eyes welling with tears. "It ends with James. He'll die, Regulus. So will Lily Evans and thousands of others. Sirius will die. Evan and Barty will die. I'll die. The war won't end for over a decade if it doesn't end with you."
[or the one where regulus black leaves grimmauld place, falls in love with james potter, fulfills a prophecy, and takes down the darkest wizard of all time.]

Summary
contrapasso [con · tra · pas · so]
the punishment of souls by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.The first time they meet is in Copenhagen.
Regulus is on holiday, halfway to drunk off his ass in a dingy back alley pub. He’s never believed in love at first sight—in fact, he thinks it’s a rather ridiculous concept—but the first time he catches sight of him across alcohol-sticky floors and air thick with smoke, Regulus might be persuaded to change his mind.

Summary
Regulus has it all figured out. He keeps men on a rotating roster so none can get too close, works nights as a dancer to make the most of his chronic insomnia, and pushes everything he doesn’t want to remember about the past ten years into the recesses of his mind. It’s easier to pretend none of it ever happened.
But when James Potter crashes into Regulus’ life with his fancy sports car, wealth beyond measure, and devil’s smile, it marks a switch in the natural order of things. James is a client; Regulus isn’t allowed to fall in love with him. Except James is the first man in a long time who can see past Regulus’ carefully constructed façade, and who could ever resist the temptation of being known?
Or, this is a story about identity, addiction, self-expression, and love in all of the varying shapes they can take.

Summary
For as long as he could remember, Regulus knew he was going to marry a prince.
It was sealed in his destiny, embroidered in the fairy tales the maid told him to make him sleep, so neatly sewed into his eyelids that he even dreamed of it at night. In his dreams, he was always glad and so giddy about it, up until the moment he grew up to have wants and needs and Regulus understood that there was no universe in which he could have wanted to do otherwise.
For as long as he could remember, James knew he was going to be king.
It was written in his blood, running through his veins as steely resolve. It was destiny chanted in royal hallways, whispered in his ears as both a promise and a warning. Since he had been able to think for himself, James had been pervaded by an ever present mindfulness of fate, manifesting in the way he talked and walked, rode his horse and wielded his spear. Lords, barons and dukes had called him heir to the throne before knowing his name, kneeled at his feet before he could know what it meant to rule. James looked in the mirror and saw a prince before he could ever recognise himself.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Summary
When they were young, Sirius had always poked fun at Regulus' name for being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Naturally, Regulus strived to defy the odds of his namesake; but in a Gryffindor-esque, impulsive act of bravery, Regulus turned the tides of the Marauder's story. Sirius had been right, of course, and unbeknownst to any of them, their future now burns brighter than Regulus in the Leo constellation on a stary night.
Or, an alternate universe where Regulus makes a split-second decision to run away with Sirius and changes the course of everyone’s future.

Summary
In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone.
Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.
