To the Marauders and to Regulus Black, James Potter is the sun. He is a joy to be around and one of the most supportive friends one can have. James looks out for all of his friends. James looks out for Remus by making his life as easy and painless as possible. James looks out for Peter by giving him advice and encouraging letters. James looks out for Sirius by helping him through panic attacks and nightmares. James looks out for everyone, but no one is looking out for him.
	James is stuck in a perfectionist cycle striving for perfection in everything. He needs to have good grades, and he needs to be the best chaser at Hogwarts. His desires become obsessive, and his struggles go under the radar of his friends. James is under-eating, and over-exercising and his anxiety is nearly debilitating. 
	It is the summer before the sixth year when everything changes when Sirius Black finally runs away from home. James finds Sirius at his doorstep with his trunk and holding on to his little brother's hand for dear life. Regulus notices that James isn't who he seems to be, but that doesn't make him any less perfect in his eyes.

Thanks for 322 reads guys I'm thinking of doing another update but I'm not sure let me know what you think! What happens when Regulus turns up on the potters doorstep in the dead of night with a bag filled with nothing but his beloved books nearly a year after his brother Sirius had run away from home never to return again. Did James imagine how vulnerable Regulus looked when he first opened the door? Regulus would not let this destroy him, he would rebuild and maybe someday let someone love him. He was putting all his faith in his brother and the people his brother considered to be his family. Hopefully this would be his saving grace, maybe this would be his chance to start again. I made James 18 in this so he is 18 in seventh year and regulus is 17 in 6th year, all the rest of the marauders are also 18 in this I have decided that they start at Hogwarts when they are 12 instead of 11, you will understand later on in the story. Peter is also not in my story as he is a traitor that deserved a most horrible death. Feedback will be gladly appreciated. *Trigger warning, there may be some talk about suicide, depression, abuse and such.* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not own any of the characters within this story nor do I own the world of Harry Potter they all belong to J.K Rowling (I don't in anyway condone or agree with any of slurs that have come from J.K Rowling) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start date - 9/10/2021 Finish date - 21/10/2021

Regulus Black: The Prequel

16 parts Complete

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.
