Regulus Black is angry. He wants revenge. He wants to watch the world burn for all it's done to him. He also wants to make out with James Potter, but that's a secret he'll take to the grave. Vengeance is more important than... whatever it is that chokes him when he lays eyes on Potter.

James Potter is confused, because Regulus Black is, all of a sudden, hot. And it's unfair because Sirius is going to kill him if he doesn't get his impulse control in line.

𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 | marauders era by Noreen_Wade

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐝𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫. 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟕? 𝐀 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡. Argus Fawley, a paranoid Ravenclaw genius, grew up with the Black brothers and thought he'd seen it all. But after Sirius's great escape, Walburga cooked up a devilish plan: make Argus the perfect replacement. The offer? Power, the Black name, and marriage to the elegant Narcissa. The price? His freedom, identity, and soul. Trivialities, really. There are just two problems: his brothers. Sirius, the Gryffindor with a saviour complex, is determined to "rescue" him. His method? Chaos, adrenaline, and a complete disregard for the word "no." Regulus, trapped between honour and loyalty, desperately needs a way out-and he's the main reason Argus can't just do a runner. Caught between two sides of one mad family, with a reputation as a budding dark wizard and the Marauders at his back, Argus is spiralling towards ruin. The worst part? No one has a plan. Which is, frankly, completely and utterly fucked. ---- English isn't my first language, so I use translation tools to help me bring this story to you. I put a lot of heart into the original Czech text, so I hope the translation captures the vibe correctly. Enjoy!

{Marauders Era - Post War} {James Potter x OC} {Second Chance Romance} "I'm a potter," Fawn announces, her head inclining in the direction of the floorboards suddenly creaking very loudly. James is rearing back, his eyes growing round like bludgers and his hand coming up to clasp his throat, his voice box, hoping he sounds less embarrassingly taken aback than he feels. "I beg your pardon?" A clear, bright strand of orange emerges, betraying Fawn's slight amusement when she clarifies, "I'm a potter. I make pottery." ***************** 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 James Potter reluctantly returns to Hogwarts three years after war end and happens to stumble across the brightness, the colour he lost all sight of. Maybe he wasn't the only one. ***************** (This story may include mature content and emotional triggers that could cause distress towards the reader)

devotion by eremition

― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽｡⋆

All Of Us Are Ghosts Here (Jegulus / Wolfstar Fic) by killingmeslowly_

~~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!

She's his best friend's twin sister. Oh and did I mention? Estelle Black despises her brother.

A story of Pure Blood madness, deceit, broken families and two enemies with no chance of becoming lovers... or do they? James Potters x OC (Estelle Black) The timeline of the original story has been altered just to fit this fiction, not everything is in the correct order! THIS IS A SLOW BURN 2nd #siriusblack 4.3.25 1st #voldermort 27.7.25 1st #blackfamily 7.11.25 1st #maraudersfanfiction 7.11.25

Reggo My Eggo by FrogsDoDrugs

What if James was in love with Regulus as well as Lily? After Sirius left for Hogwart he left his younger brother, Regulus Black behind to deal with their parent alone. Now, Sirius has made new friends and left his family in the past. Regulus knew things were different the moment Sirius didn't come home for the holidays in his first year. 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~

Potter, please by SlytherInM3

James Potter has been in love with Aurora Lupin since second year - the day she marched into Hogwarts, insulted his broomstick, and called him "Potter" like it was a bad word. Now in sixth year, he's still helplessly smitten with his best friend's little sister. The only people who know? Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and unfortunately, Remus Lupin - who is both deeply concerned and quietly resigned to the fact that James is an idiot with no self-control. To protect the delicate peace (and his kneecaps), James keeps up the world's worst cover act: pretending he's still obsessed with Lily Evans so no one suspects the truth - especially Aurora, who would absolutely roast him alive. It's going great. If "great" means losing his mind every time she walks into a room. If "great" means blushing like a fool when she says "Potter, please" with that tired, amused little smirk. He writes her notes he never sends. Lets her win at wizard chess. Stares at her across the Great Hall like a lovesick idiot. And the worst part? She has no idea. But secrets don't stay buried forever - especially not when Sirius Black gets bored, Peter starts scheming, and Remus keeps threatening to hex him every time he sighs her name. James can outfly a Bludger. But can he survive falling for the one girl he's not supposed to love? {James potter x Oc} {golden retriever vibes} {mauraders era}

Till Forever Falls Apart by Lil_Dreamer_12

In the shadows of war, beneath stolen glances and whispered promises, James Potter and Aurora Black love fiercely- only to be torn apart by fate. ~~~ Or in which Sirius Black has a sister and James Potter finds his one true love. "They were... well, star-crossed doesn't even begin to cover it," Sirius said, swirling his coffee absentmindedly. "She was a Slytherin, and he was Gryffindor's golden boy. But it wasn't just that. It was the war, the world-it was everything stacked against them." "If there's a world where we meet again, James, I'll wait for you there." James Potter x OC

Unexpected Love by Smileandwave24

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
