After being rejected for approximately three years by the same girl, James makes it his mission to move on from Lily, but his mission gets a little sidetracked when a certain Slytherin student named Regulus Black offers some help. People above knows James could use some help, so James accepted the offer and works with Regulus to get Lily to fall head over heels for him. But does Regulus help James get the girl or does he accidentally make him fall for someone worthy of his time. WARNINGS: - cussing - minor smut (maybe big) - cringe - stupidity - grammatical errors - violence - illogical moments - possible trigger moments - will have no warnings if the chapter contains smut - moments that will make you want to punch me (If I forget to add anything contact me please). Disclaimer; Some characters belongs to me, most belongs to J.K Rowling. The plot line is mine. Also pretend that Sirius ran away from home in year 5 instead of year 6. IMPORTANT; And I don't mean to make you think that I hate Lily in any way. I don't. I think she's lovely. Just... not in this book. Started: August 28th, 2021 Finished: November 26th, 2021

I DO NOT OWN THIS SERIES ALL CREDITS TO BIZZARSTAR ON AO3 Regulus Black was fifteen the first time his name was called at a reaping. He's twenty-five when it happens to him again. A lot has changed in that time, and one of them is that he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it home. Nothing or no one will stop him, not even James Potter. James Potter has no plans to stop Regulus Black from making it home. In fact, his plans revolve around the opposite. He has his reasons, but he's made his choice to get Regulus out of the arena, even knowing it'll be the last thing he ever does. Sirius Black was sixteen when he volunteered to take his little brother's place in the arena. At twenty-six, without the option to do it again, he has no choice but to be a mentor to his brother and best friend, knowing that only one of them can make it back out. Two names called, a mentor on the verge of falling apart, and more secrets and grief between all of them than they know how to handle. None of them are prepared for what comes next, or how far they'll go to make it through.
