jamespotter jegulus regulusblack

When Regulus Black fears returning to Grimmauld Place over the summer of 1979, Sirius reluctantly invites his brother along on a "lads trip" with him, James and Remus. It doesn't take long before Regulus realizes he's not the only person on the trip who's drowning in troubles - in fact, he may not even be the most tortured among them. Things start to change after a close call in a rip tide, when James Potter decides it is up to him to teach his best friend's younger brother how to swim.All Rights Reserved

The Guide to Pretty Much Everything | Jegulus by uhyoinksscoob

"Ready to go?" James asked, hoping to brush over the potentially awkward moment. Regulus was now gaping at him, disbelief coating every inch of available skin. "Potter, I'm not going with you." James gave him a put-upon frown. "Of course, you are." - After losing Sirius, James went through the motions of life without truly living. When he's terminally diagnosed, courtesy of the same crash that killed his best friend, it feels like penance for wasting the last two years wallowing in his grief. With limited time left, he makes a promise to himself that he won't waste his last days the same way he'd done in the past. When he hears from Regulus Black, Sirius's kid brother-whom James hadn't seen since the accident-his past crashes into the present. And when Regulus shows him a bucket list that James and Sirius had written as kids, James knows the perfect way to spend his last thirty days. With a reluctant Regulus Black in his passenger seat, James and Sirius's guide to the perfect summer becomes a last-ditch effort to rekindle his flame with his late best friend, before he meets him again in the afterlife. Somewhere between crappy motels and packs of Twizzlers, the boys find healing in a place they never expected-each other.

I adored you Madly, Extravagantly, Absurdly. by MiriamMcTroi

The Blacks want to marry off their youngest child. He begs Sirius for help and tells him a secret: He is a man and would rather die than be forced to be anyone's wife. Panicked, Sirius arranges a marriage between his brother and his friend James Potter, knowing that Regulus can be the man he is in the English countryside in James' estate, which is a sort of safe haven for homosexual servants who are running from the law or are already convicted. James wants to ensure Regulus' happiness, even at the expense of putting his life on hold for a while. Regulus wants to ensure James doesn't fall into societal ruin because of him. Sirius just wants to help. And Remus is just a very tired butler who watches James and Regulus dance around their actual feelings (literally). (Trans Reggie; set in the Victorian Age, 1890s. No horrible homophobia or transphobia depicted. Dysphoria is thematised. Other tags may be added)

Smile When You Dive In by pansysnarkinson

*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?

James potter helping him as the same man is pushed off a cliff, and the situation quickly degenerates into insanity. From 3rd chapter: "Regulus couldn't help but attack others, the more he tried, the more he found himself distancing from everything and everyone.
