Summary
Regulus is just trying to get through school so he can move on to be the best figure skater ever, he doesn't want or need any type of relationships besides the friendship he has with his roommate Remus Lupin, but when his instructor recommends him for a job teaching figure skating basics to the hockey team, Regulus has to deal with a bunch of stupid puckers messing up the perfect system that is his life. He never expected to see his brother again after he ran away from home, or to have to teach a brother who doesn't even recognise him, much less fall for his brother's best friend.

Summary
A few weeks ago, Regulus Black jumped off a bridge. It's not that he really wanted to die, but he didn't really want to live either. He didn't think anyone would care one way or another, if he's honest. Now he's stuck learning how to live.
James Potter was used to seeing Reg every day at the cafe he worked in, until one day he stopped coming in. When he finally sees the guy he's been crushing on come back into the cafe, he knew he had to take his chance at asking him out on a date.
***This fic deals with heavy themes of depression, lack of a will to live, and suicide, but will have a happy ending***

Summary
No one has ever been very accepting of Regulus being trans.
He's been dating James in secret for a while now, and dreading the coming reaction. They couldn't just be celibate forever, could they?
But who could want him?Regulus just wants James to want him a little bit longer, that's all.
Luckily for Regulus, that was never a problem for James.

Summary
“Reg.”
His eyes open. Surely, he misheard. Regulus shifts out of the embrace to turn toward the man but the arm wrapped around his middle squeezes him tight and keeps him close. In other instances, he would fight it. He would claw his way out and he would do so dirty, Regulus is a mean thing when cornered. But brown eyes lock with his’ and it’s not any brown.
It’s not any touch.
“Don’t run from me, love.”Sacrifices are bullshit. It's painful, and you get nothing for your services. So… Good luck with that.
When a vision from the past shows up at their pub, four years have never been enough to forget. Regulus has never wanted to, anyway. James deserves to be remembered and James is still so James — just as lovely, just as cocky, the perfect combination of the two. Regulus is just as screwed.

The Way You Look At Me (Too Close To Resist) by Courtsorcererlol

Summary
“Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard,” came the cheery voice of the conductor, Stan Shunpike, who blinked at Regulus with wide, startled eyes. “Blimey, mate, you look like—”
“The Potter’s house,” Regulus rasped, his voice hoarse and trembling. He shoved a handful of Sickles into Stan’s hand before collapsing onto the nearest seat.
Stan stared for a moment but said nothing. The bus jolted into motion, sending Regulus sprawling against the window. He didn’t care. The world outside blurred into streaks of color, and for the first time in hours, days, fucking weeks he allowed himself to breathe.
The pain throbbed with each beat of his heart, but he ignored it. He pressed his forehead against the cool glass, his gray eyes vacant as he stared at the night rushing past. The Potters. He was going to the Potters.
To Sirius.
