Summary
James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.
One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.
Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.
And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.
Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.
Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.

Summary
Regulus and Sirius had both hoped that things would get better once he was finally away from their parents. Away from them and their toxicity, choking the life out of him with every breath he took.
It was a hard punch in the gut when they realized that wasn't true.

Scattered glimpses into the life of Regulus Arcturus Black after moving in with his older brother and his boyfriend. The good, and the bad.

Summary
Regulus would give James anything, and if James happens to want a purely sexual relationship with him that they hide from Sirius, then that’s what Regulus gives him. Even though all Regulus wants is for James to reciprocate his feelings.
Will it work out, or will it go down in flames?

Summary
It was as if Sirius could sense his anxiety. He sighed. "Okay, how 'bout this: my friends have never met you before. At least officially. Why don't you stay in our car for a now?" he proposed. A Slytherin associating himself with Gryffindors; Regulus would have rather thrown himself into a lake full of inferi.

Regulus is in 3rd year and is his first year back after his transition. He's too scared to face the Slytherin Skittles so Sirius offers that he spends the train ride to Hogwarts with him and the Marauders.

Summary
James’ shift is just ending when they get the call: a massive incident involving several cars on the motorway. As he arrives on scene, his heart stutters to a stop as he recognises one car crushed against a barrier.
There could be hundreds of that exact black car in the city alone but somehow he knows.
He knows it’s Regulus’ car.
