Summary
On Christmas Eve Sirius ran from Grimmauld Place alone, even though he didn’t really plan to leave without his brother. Guess he just wasn’t ready to try the taste of freedom.
The marauders had wanted to become a band since they were 13, with everyone knowing how to play an instrument it was rather perfect, but none of them actually ever thought they would reach high numbers.
Band AU where Regulus accidentally finds himself listening to a song about him sang by none other than James Potter.

Summary
For six electric weeks, four hit bands come together to compete in the prestigious Hogwarts Music Festival that only occurs once every four years. It is the biggest music competition in the world, with gifted artists bringing their best songs and talents to take home the win.
Enter: James Potter, the charismatic guitarist of the Marauders, who has given everything to work towards this opportunity. Regarded as the "glue" of his band, James thrives on his friendships and love, yet all of his previous plans for a stable future begin to crumble as fame and romance add another element to his life.
Enter: Lily Evans, a sharp-witted lead singer of the girl band The Valkyries, and she is determined to not let distractions interfere with her band's chances for success. However, as she navigates complicated family relations and a new PR stunt to boost streams, she has to decide which relationships to allow to grow.

Summary
James Potter is convinced god is out for revenge, if he even exists.
James is an only child with two loving parents who also love each other. He knows this is a blessing and never complains about his family life. In fact, he has no qualms about admitting it is perfect.
The other parts of his life aren’t perfect at all. No, far from that.

Summary
'Cause in my head (In my head, I do everything right)
When you call (When you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and florescent
Come home to my heart- "Supercut" by Lorde
When people talk about "the music industry", they are really only talking about three bands: The Valkyries, The Marauders, and The Ophidians. These bands have been sweeping award shows and selling out stadiums since their debuts. All of them have been constantly rewriting the game and setting new standards for the music industry.
However, they are also all managed by the same man, Albus Dumbledore, who has a reputation for manipulating and exploiting young artists to get the one thing he wants: control.
But what happens when rumors about gay band members and secret affairs start to fly around, breaking down that control? What will he do in order to regain it? What will he make others do?
And, most importantly, what happens when the rumors, no matter how terrible and cruel, are true?
A band/superstar AU that follows the marauders and crew as they navigate what being famous can cost.

Summary
“Oi!”
A soft, whispered yell from right behind him. James turned around in his seat to find a pair of stormy grey eyes staring right back into his. Soft features and gentle raven waves that framed his face.
“Hi,” James said, already grinning, one arm lazily slung over the back of the chair, hoping that he looked like the pinnacle of cool and laid back.
The boy looked utterly unimpressed.
“Would you do me a favour and shut it?”
Oh.
----------
Regulus becomes infatuated with a boy he was mean to in his advanced ethics class, only to find out that boy is the one and only James Potter his brother ran off to, who he'd hated for most of his high school life. and now they're in university together, worse, rooming together
