Summary
The universe times it just right.
They meet at a certain stage in life where everything is all impulse and curiosity, where you can get away with anything and maybe a scraped knee or detention to show for it, but it never lasts, it never hurts for longer than a week, at least, depending on what you’ve done.
Maybe it’s because James Potter is too friendly for his own good, always running his mouth. He sets everything in motion, at least.
But Sirius Black has never had real friends before, not like this, and a little brother plus a deranged old house elf don’t count. Even if they both let you win at chess every time you play.
And Peter Pettigrew is used to playing along, and Remus Lupin just wants to share his passion for Muggle rock n' roll with someone who understands, you know?
So they’re young and so it means everything to share a compartment on a train on a warm day in September, in 1971, and the universe got something right because that one day stretches an entire lifetime. And maybe beyond that, too. Maybe all the way to the other side.

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

Summary
Regulus Black survived the inferi only for the aftereffects of the cursed cave to attack his magic and turn him into a squib.
He lived long enough to see his brother arrested and imprisoned without trial. He lived long enough for his mother to disown him. He lived long enough to become an outcast in the world where he grew up.
Regulus had nothing left to live for. Then one day, on a whim, he decided to check on his brother’s godson. And then Regulus had someone to fight for.

Summary
‘I always wanted to die clean and pretty
But I’d be too busy on working days
So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn’t forecasted
I couldn’t have changed anyways
I am relieved that I’d left my room tidyGoodbye’
Regulus isn't a poet. He isn't a writer, an artist or a dreamer. But in another life he likes to think he'd be a fighter. He likes to think that somewhere else, far from here, he'd be braver. And maybe, just maybe in this other life, he lives. Or maybe he’s always meant to be a tragedy.

Summary
"I loved you. I loved you and perhaps I still do. How selfish. How cruel of a thought."
