Summary
A small interaction between Regulus and Euphemia before his fifth year at Hogwarts alters the trajectory of his life. Asked to watch out for Regulus, James finds himself readily falling for him as they spend more time together. It can never be that simple though- the Black's expectations and dysfunction grasp onto the younger boy relentlessly, and the raging war outside the doors of Hogwarts moves closer to them every day.
Dealing with the hardships and traumas of their reality, the question remains: how far are they willing to go for one another?
Following the boys from their final years of Hogwarts into their roles during the First Wizarding War, this is a long fic exploring the depths of their devotion. It deals with sensitive topics so please be mindful of the tags; there is a comprehensive note at the start of the fic detailing warnings. Eventual happily ever after (it's a long ride).

Summary
In December 1977, Regulus Black did something brave. He ran.
With nothing but a wand he couldn’t use, a bag of money, and a desperate hope for survival, Regulus escaped into the muggle world mere days before his Death Eater initiation.
Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.
***
Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.

He’s qualified, he’s already progressing his career, has a great set of friends, and is building a solid reputation as one of London’s best young doctors.

Summary
“You want to write letters to Lily but you’re too shit at it so you’re asking me to do it for you?”
James sighed, his shoulders dropping and his hands resting on his hips. “Yeah basically.”
“Love letters?”
“Yeah. So will you do it?”
***
Regulus Black had no intentions of adding any more obligations to his busy schedule. He also had no plans of ghost-writing love letters, becoming friends with the object of said letters, nor falling for the man that asked him to write the letters in the first place.
But unfortunately, when James Potter enters one's life, it has a habit of turning everything upside down.

Summary
Remus has endured three years of his behavior. He’d be willing to accept it, deal with it, make peace with the idea of Sirius as a town asshole. Every town has one - they ride loud motorcycles in the middle of the night and spend one too many hours at the town's dive bar.
But Sirius isn’t an asshole, at least to anyone who isn’t named Remus. Sirius holds doors open for little old ladies, he volunteers at local organizations, he mows and rakes and weeds people's yards out of the goodness of his heart. He lives and bleeds for the town of Godric’s Hollow - knows everyone and their children by name and greets them as if they’ve been best friends for years.
Remus would call it performative if he hadn’t been witness to it many times, Sirius Black and his charm and his inability to resist helping someone.
The dick.

Summary
James Potter is returning to Hogwarts for his final year with one goal: to make it the most unforgettable one yet. No distractions, no regrets, no Lily Evans. Just Quidditch, pranks, and his boys. Until Regulus Black shows up looking taller, colder, and entirely too captivating for James' peace of mind.
As inter-house tensions rise and the Marauders navigate the looming weight of adulthood, James finds himself caught between loyalty and curiosity. Regulus is everything he shouldn’t want, but he can’t stop looking, and Regulus keeps looking back.
Meanwhile, Remus watches with too much understanding, Sirius refuses to see what's right in front of him, and Peter just wants everyone to survive N.E.W.T.s.
This is a story about the chaos of growing up, the messiness of friendship, and what happens when the one person you’re not supposed to fall for is the only one who sees you clearly.

Summary
"I was actually hoping you would be my Best Man,” Remus said, a grin breaking out on his scarred face. “I mean, we may not have been friends since middle school, but-”
James cut him off, a yell of excitement slipping from his lips as he pulled him into a hug so tight he felt Remus begin to squirm in his hold. “I would love to, Remus!” he beamed, wiping a few tears from his face. “You won’t regret this, either of you.”
“Well, you might,” Sirius grimaced, chuckling. “You’ll have to spend a lot of time with Regulus. And he may not be in my parents’ pocket anymore but he can still be a right prat.”
“Eh, it’ll be fine,” James reassured him, not worried at all, clapping him on the back. “How bad can it be?”

Chaos, confusion, miscommunication, pining, and unavoidable attraction and romance ensues.- Language:

Four Wizards. One War. One way to go.

- Draco Malfoy - The Scapegoat, “He wanted so desperately to deserve saving. He wanted so desperately to deserve death. He never deserved either.”
- Regulus Black - The Spear Carrier, “That seems to be his fate regardless. And he’d rather die with people he trusts than drown alone with no one knowing he was trying to do the right thing in the end.”
- James Potter - The Cannon Fodder, “He suddenly feels guilty. Towards her, towards Harry. He feels as if he’s done something terrible, dying and taking her along with him all the while leaving a baby Harry to fight and win the war.”
Or: Thanks to a freak accident, Harry and Draco find themselves stuck in 1977. As if being punted into the middle of a raging war they'd already won wasn't bad enough, they're inevitably sucked into the messy lives of Harry's dead dad and the people he holds most dear.

Summary
Regulus Black doesn’t do concerts, but when his brother Sirius gives him VIP tickets to see The Marauders, he’s reluctantly pulled into their chaotic world. It’s not like he’s interested in James Potter, the band’s lead singer—he’s just Paddy’s little brother to James.
But when James hands him a cigarette with his real number on it, everything changes. James is cocky, persistent, and impossible to ignore, while Regulus does everything he can to resist. As their lives collide, both on and off stage, Regulus starts to question everything he thought he knew about himself.
As James pursues and Regulus runs, the band’s tangled relationships—Sirius and Remus, Dorcas and Marlene, Mary and Lily, and Evan and Barty—unfold in the background, and Regulus must decide whether to keep running or let himself be caught.

Summary
Reg: You’re… adequate.
James: You have a typo in ‘the most beautiful person I’ve ever had the fortune to lay my humble eyes upon.’
Reg: Shame your humongous ego utterly ruins the impression.
James: My ego’s the perfect size for my body, thank you very much.---

The problem is, his muse has taped her mouth shut, moved to The Maldives, and refuses to answer his calls.
So, when he messages the wrong number by accident, he’s more than happy to distract himself by trading barbed remarks with the mysterious person on the other side. All the better when he learns his new acquaintance is a man. No danger of falling in love. Unfortunately, the stranger hides secrets of his own. Secrets that will force James to re-examine his feelings and put his poor abused heart on the line.Series
