Summary
Regulus Black, once a teenage pastry chef prodigy, has since ascended to the heights of culinary acclaim as a Michelin-starred chef de cuisine. Due to his uncle's waning health, he takes on the responsibility of managing the quaint, but disorganized, French restaurant L’Astre together with a team of old friends and other eccentric souls. With aspirations to transform it into a place of widespread renown, Regulus dives headfirst into the challenge. However, this mission takes an unexpected twist when his new sous chef, James Potter, steps into the kitchen.

Summary
Regulus Black has two obsessions.
1) Hating his older brother’s best friend, James Potter. Has Regulus met the man before now? No. But he has deemed James Potter his mortal enemy since he was ten years old.
2) A certain voice actor by the pseudonym Jay, who makes “spicy” audios.
Regulus has always known the universe to have a sick sense of humour but he didn’t know it was this cruel. He’d recognize that voice anywhere. To Regulus’s shock and abject horror, James Potter is Jay, there’s no doubt about it.

Summary
Regulus Black really had nothing against James Potter’ exes - on other occasions he would even hook up with them - he simply just thought he would fit so much better in their place.
He could be a better boyfriend than them.

Fifty Shades of Black by ThisLiminalSpace, veryinnovative
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
05 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
It’s the way James looks, the way he moves, the way he speaks—so confident. So strong. So utterly unbreakable. No one has ever looked at Regulus the way James does. Like someone who could take it. Regulus’ storms and wildfires, his crashing mood swings and his jagged cliffs. No one has ever looked at him like he’s someone capable of unraveling, and James is just there, curious to see what might spill out.
James looks like he could take anything Regulus throws at him, and so far, he has never disappointed.
| Or: Regulus is an inexperienced dominant who agrees to take James as his very experienced submissive. Again.

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
Let me tell you a ghost story.
It begins when James moves into a new apartment inhabited by the ghost of a sarcastic and French-speaking man with the grayest eyes he’s ever seen. The more time they spend together, the more James finds that he doesn’t mind being haunted that much.
Okay, maybe it's a love story, after all.

Summary
Regulus spent most of his childhood learning about things children shouldn’t learn about. There was the cruelty, and the pain, but there was also the horribly boring stuff like French and Latin and the goddamn dictionary. Regulus was seven using words like insipid and derivative and reverence.
The dictionary says reverence means to admire and respect deeply. The dictionary is wrong; it was James Potter who taught him reverence.
OR
Lily confesses. Regulus has to watch.

Summary
“Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”
Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.
“Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”
“You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.
“Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.
“Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.
---
Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.

“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
“Okay, okay. You’ll find someone to pine after soon enough, though, I’m sure.” Sirius gets up and goes to James’ overflowing chest of drawers, pulling one open to look for a more suitable pair of jeans.
James goes back to looking in the mirror.
“I don’t pine,” He mutters.
***
