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
"Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
"You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
"A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
"I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."***
Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.- Language:

Summary
When James wakes up, his head is pounding. He can’t remember drinking anything, but supposes he must have because it feels like he’s been hit square between the eyes with a bludger. He’s never been one to get hungover, but he knows this is what it’s supposed to feel like. Although, come to think of it, he doesn’t remember celebrating their victory on the pitch, isn’t completely sure they had one at all. The last thing he remembers is turning to look to the stands, revelling in the roars of his fellow Gryffindors, certain that they were going to beat Hufflepuff. Then, he turned and… was hit square between the eyes with a bludger.
Now he’s stuck in the hospital wing, and the bed next to his is occupied by none other than Regulus Black.

Summary
*A friend requested grumpy/sunshine Jegulus magical Hogwarts AU with no Voldemort. Happy to oblige.*
Regulus Black POV - His attempts to rebuild his brotherly bond with Sirius are interrupted by a certain arrogant, messy-haired complication.
Jegulus/Wolfstar/Dorlene/Marpanlily/future RosekillerExcerpt:
“I’m afraid that’s your choice to make,” Peter said solemnly. “If you want Sirius back, James comes along with him. The two of them are inseparable.”Regulus’s eyes locked onto Peter’s, “You believe that, don’t you? That they’re inseparable.”
“Only because it’s true,” Peter agreed, shrugging lightly. “It’s not fair to expect Sirius to choose between you, Regulus. James was there for him during some really tough times. He pulled him out of depressions and tantrums repeatedly, despite his protests. He can reach Sirius when no one else can. Do you really want to take that away from your brother?”
“Yes,” Regulus answered petulantly.
Peter snorted a laugh, “Piss off, Regulus. Now who’s a prat?”
“Still Potter.”

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.
