*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?

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*
Mixed Tape: Regulus' Story
Dear reader, If you've come across this little story, then I'm glad that I have at least had to chance to explain myself to one person. I'm not here to justify my actions nor am I here to tell you that I am good or even worth anything at all, but let me at least explain my side of the story. Let me tell you about my anger and my family and even my many failures. Let me even tell you about James Potter and the way he sings and laughs and sees something in me as if I'm not the worst person to have ever lived. It's strange, I don't even know why I'm writing this all down. I guess I might not have given up on it all after all. Sincerely, R. A. B. Hello everyone! I'm very excited to share this fic with you all! It's Regulus' story told by Regulus and with each chapter named after and inspired by a different song that he may have known. Also, I love to make these characters queer and interesting since JK Rowling seems to hate that. This story is complete so there are no new updates coming. If you liked this, you may want to check out my Wolfstar fic titled Mirror Moon which exists in the same canon as this story and certain events overlap. General Content Warnings: Abuse, childhood abuse, physical and emotional abuse, family trauma, blood purity, homophobia, deathComplete

Pretending to be my boyfriend?" "Yeah. It's actually bloody brilliant, if you think about it. Everyone will leave happy. I'm going to fake date my way into falling in love," James announces grandly, sticki his hand out and waving it through the air like he's presenting a banner. *** Or, the one in which James Potter wants to prove he'd be a good boyfriend to Lily Evans and comes up with the brilliant plan to fake date Regulus Black his way into falling in love. It doesn't quite go as anyone expects. Task failed...successfully?Complete

Now, Regulus is at Hogwarts, although his and his Gryffindor brother's relationship is completely different. Eventually, Regulus starts getting dragged along to the Marauderers hangouts and develops feelings for his brother's best friend. (Bare with me, the first 10 or so chapters are probably crap but it gets better) Tw: Please be aware of the fact that there may be intended mention of child abuse at certain points throughout the fic but I never directly write it. Oh, uh and they eat waffles at some point? ~Wolfstar as a background ship~ ~Don't correct any of my spelling mistakes, i didn't ask you to peer read my writing. ~ ~If I write something different than canon that's because it's fanfic and I can do what I want~ ~Don't like, don't read~Complete

So, what happens when James helps him open up and shows him what love really is? ◇This is a non-magic (muggle)AU.

All Of Us Are Ghosts Here (Jegulus / Wolfstar Fic)
~~DISCONTINUED~~ (a brief summary of the ending is available to read in the final update) Regulus, the perfect son. Regulus, the spare heir. Regulus, the lost cause. Finally, after enduring years of abuse, he wants out. So, he writes a letter. And as the Marauders take him in, he feels hope for the first time. But Regulus, Sirius, Remus, and James all carry baggage, secrets that cut like knives when they come to light. As the boys struggle with each other and themselves, war looms on the horizon. And as truths come to light, friendships may fall apart. If all of us are ghosts, how can anyone survive here? "All Of Us Are Ghosts Here" is a non-cannon-compliant fic, meaning it does not align with the facts from the book series (Cause honestly fuck J.K.) Some T.W's: Severe mental illness, abuse (mental and physical), body image issues, and much more (specific warnings at the top of chapters). Thanks for reading!Complete
StarChaser// Jegulus||✔️
LONG FIC // COMPLETE Fifth Year has rolled around for the Marauders at Hogwarts. However, this year is a bit different because a certain Marauder; James Potter, has found himself in quite the puzzle You see, James is stuck between Lily Evans, who he thought was the only one for him, and a certain dark haired Slytherin boy, one he never thought he would ever have anything to do with given that this particular Slytherin is a relative of his best friend. See this Slytherin is none other than Fourth Year Regulus Black. James had never seen anything in Regulus before but this year is different. This year Regulus is...attractive. Regulus, however, is not quite the same, see he does have feelings for James, he has done since he started Hogwarts but he had made peace with the fact that he would never compare to Lily Evans. How will this story of theirs pan out in the end? Ngl guys this fic has wayy more smut than i intended it to have so...take that as you will WARNING: this fic IS tagged Major Character Death, this fic is loosely canon compliant, just be ware! TRIGGER WARNINGS: This story does contain mentions of abuse, torture, self harm and obviously depictions of war times, if you find any of these distressing please take care of yourselves when reading and know your limits of what you can and can't handle, remember everyone is different and even if it is simply fiction it can still be triggering, what is important is you looking after yourselves <3 DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS BUT THESE IDEAS ARE MINEComplete
