Golden boy, Lion boy; Tell me what it's like to conquer. Fearless child, Broken boy; Tell me what it's like to burn. (...) In which a very nosy James Potter notices that every weekend, when everyone falls asleep, Regulus Black sneaks into an abandoned fifth-floor classroom, and he can't help but try to find out what the little Black is up to.

Complete He wasn't expecting it to hurt as much, being in love with a man that doesn't love you back.

The war tore James and Regulus apart. Six years later, Regulus learns to let the light in and James learns to let broken hearts heal. AU in which Regulus survived the Inferi, Peter didn't betray James, and Voldemort was killed. Slow-burn lovers to strangers and back. Loosely (very loosely) based on Persuasion. (Cannot exaggerate how loosely) Brief Jily but mainly in the past and no Lily hate here!

Sirius Black has been living with the Potter's for nearly 2 years and is constantly filled with guilt and regret about leaving Regulus behind. In the summer before the Marauder's sixth year, Regulus turns up at the house with nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to. Can they forgive each other? Can they both let their guard down enough to be loved? Can the Black brothers move on from their past? I don't own any of the characters they all belong to jkr

"Regulus didn't see him again until the holidays were over and his parents acted as if they had only ever had one son." Regulus Black has been told his entire life that he should be proud of who he is and the family he comes from, but with a rebellious brother like Sirius, he isn't sure if he really believes them. When his eyes are finally opened to the horrors he's been forced in front of, he wonders if this is really what life is meant to be. In which Regulus Black survives the cave.

"You look like a painting, Reg," whispered James, genuine adoration plastered in every inch of his face. "Is that a good thing?" Regulus knitted his eyebrows together, a subtle smile curling his lips. "Definitely." A romance hidden under the horrors of the war, where kids fought with more pride than adults, where they didn't lose faith even when everything seemed lost. This story takes place in Hogwarts' 7th year. Regulus is Sirius' younger brother, exactly one year behind them, James couldn't expect that an innocent talk in the astronomy tower would lead to fall for him hopelessly, and neither did the young Black. But love doesn't stop time, nor does it save people. It's like a beautiful scarlet rose, as its petals fall, it dies. When that letter found its way to my hands, the music died.

His favorite color was blackberry, his favorite food was dumpling soup and he couldn't play any instruments, nor could he sing, but he knew many languages and danced if there was music. His middle name was Astrophel. Of all the things lost when colliding with Black, the one thing he wanted to keep was that simple truth.

Regulus Black hates James Potter. He's loud, egotistic, and replaced Regulus at a time he needed Sirius the most. But when Regulus gets kicked out of his home and forced to live with him, will their spark grow or die?

Let's rewind... It's 1976 and Regulus is returning for his fifth year at Hogwarts. With one of the worst summers of his life behind him, he's slightly glad to be back at the castle. Regulus is looking forward to a relaxing year spent focusing on his studies and lounging in the library. Only, Regulus' plans are derailed after runs into (quite literally) the one and only James Potter. It seems passing the year is the least of Regulus' problems- with the dark lord's influence growing into his inner circle, new blossoming feelings for his brother's best friend who he should hate, and a prank that goes too far. Regulus is in for a bumpy ride.
