Summary
“This still doesn’t mean you can fuck my brother.”
“No promises. Especially if he’s pretty.”
James has never been more glad that he didn’t promise Sirius something, because god knows that someone who looks like that and apparently a tongue so sharp one phrase alone could sentence you to death by a thousand cuts, is not someone that James wants to let go of very easily.
OR
5 times James Potter wanted Regulus Black more than he wanted it to snow on Christmas Day and 1 time he did something about it.

Summary
She wishes that she didn’t turn into such a goddamn mess every time she’s within ten feet of Sirius’ presence. With just one look she’s reduced to a puddle of mush, mind conjuring fantasies that are both sweet and horribly depraved, and if she were a cartoon character there would probably be little hearts blooming in her eyes as steam pours out of her ears.
Remus Lupin has had a crush on Sirius Black since the moment she saw her. The only problem, other than the fact that there's no universe in which Sirius would want to go out with someone like her, is that she's pretty sure that Sirius is straight.

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
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.

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.
***
British modern high school AU where James is the popular jock/ football star and Regulus is the quiet artist who couldn't be less bothered by status or popularity.
They work on a project together. Pining ensues.

Summary
"'Did you promise to not kiss me?' Regulus asks, grey eyes meeting James' hazel.
James shakes his head- technically he didn’t think of kissing at the time, his mind jumping to more obscene thoughts at the time, so it was the truth. Although, Sirius wouldn't have minded the addition of that clause."
-
James Fleamont Potter and Regulus Arcturus Black were never meant to fall in love- the universe simply didn't expect it to happen and didn't account for it.
When the two are on their separate tours, the universe lets them meet in four cities. But they fall in love in the before, the during, the in-between and the after.
Much to the chagrin of Sirius Black, who James made a promise to: a promise to, very specifically, not fall in love with Regulus Arcturus Black.

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
James Potter wasn't surprised to get the owl he was needed in the Headmistress' office after his son was caught in the middle of yet another prank. What he wasn't expecting was to be so caught off guard by the Professor who had caught Harry this time around. The last time he had seen Regulus Black was years ago, and now here he was immaculately dressed, scowl on his face and James couldn't stop staring.
Why hadn't he seen Regulus in years? Regulus has spent the last five years avoiding James Potter because he couldn't take suffering through his childhood crush a second later. Now all of that was for nothing, because James Potter was standing across from him, smirking at him from behind those glasses of his, calling Regulus 'Professor Black' and setting Regulus' skin on fire.

Summary
The RMS Titanic is the Ship of Dreams—considered unsinkable and insurmountable in her luxury, she is the largest ocean liner in the world. Her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York begins 10 April 1912 with more than 2,000 souls on board.
Regulus and Sirius Black are English-French royalty and First Class passengers. It's a luxury most can only dream of. But for both brothers, the Titanic is a nightmare bringing them closer to futures they do not want.
James Potter and Remus Lupin aren't supposed to be on the Titanic. They get lucky winning Third Class tickets in a poker game just moments before she sets sail. For them it's a fresh start, a sure shot to new lives and freedom across the sea.
It's purely by accident that their paths cross; First and Third Class passengers don't often end up in the same spaces. Yet this time they do, and what begins is a tumultuous and harrowing love story marked by a tragedy none of them will ever forget.
