*CROSSPOSTED FROM AO3*
It was nearing the end of his fifth year at Hogwarts, and Regulus Black was getting on with it. Things at home had been far from perfect since Sirius ran away and left him behind, but that didn't mean that he'd stopped caring about his brother altogether. He just wasn't willing to admit that to Sirius.
So when Regulus is woken one night by an infuriated Severus Snape, he doesn't want to get involved with whatever his brother's latest 'prank' is. But seeing him isolated from his friends in the following days, and worried about what the coming summer will bring, Regulus decides that he has no option but to get involved. He couldn't possibly be aware of what would happen when he pushes himself into the orbit of one James Potter. With the threat of war looming and Potter busy chasing that muggleborn girl, what could possibly pass between him and Regulus that would compromise the Slytherin?

Regulus Black: The Prequel
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.

Only, Regulus' plans are derailed after runs into (quite literally) the one and only James Potter.

Regulus is in for a bumpy ride.Complete

Starlight Muse - Regulus Black
Esmee Potter has never lived up to the Potter name-and she prefers it that way. While her brother James basks in the spotlight, all charm and Gryffindor pride, Esmee walks her own path: quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. She's not out to save the world. She's out to survive it-on her own terms. But when she crosses paths with Regulus Black-misunderstood, cunning, and tangled in the dark threads of his family's legacy-her carefully built walls begin to crack. They're from different worlds, enemies by blood and house, yet drawn to each other by something neither of them can explain. As darkness rises inside and outside Hogwarts, Esmee must decide who she wants to be: the girl who hides in the shadows, or the rebel who's willing to risk everything-even her heart-for the wrong boy. She's not James Potter's sister. She's something else entirely. And he sees it. *I do NOT own these characters except Esmee Potter and my other OCs*
Whatever I've Done
The moment James hears that Regulus is missing, it's as if his mind detaches from his body. He disconnects. Something within him breaks. It's happened before. It's not too much of a surprise. The next thing James knows, he's standing on a battlefield with Voldemort's dead body in front of him. This is more surprising. This is what happened while James was gone. James won't remember it, but he'll have to live with it when he hears the story. (or) James Potter has an evil alter ego which will do anything to make sure Regulus is safe.Complete
