As if the overwhelming fame of being a public figure didn't have enough drawbacks as it was, having a disconcertingly capable, competent James Potter as a bodyguard was never quite on the list of Regulus' problems.
Though the fact that Potter was skilled at his assigned task didn't retract the factor that he was a dickhead; the dickhead who'd been - in Regulus' eyes - partially responsible for the wall between him and his brother.
Regulus would've scoffed in your face had you told him he'd resign himself to the fact that Potter wasn't that bad after all.
And yet, fate had a funny way of working. Or does it?

[BOOK ONE OF MISCHIEF MANAGED SERIES] "Just look at her, James!" Sirius cried out exasperatedly. "Can't you see it? You're in love with her." He shook his head stubbornly. "No, I love Lily." "Get over yourself. It's always been Catherine, Prongs. Just look at her!" And so he did just as Sirius did too. And in that moment, Catherine tipped her head back to laugh at whatever Lily told her, and James realized that it was true. He was in love with a girl he never expected to fall for. But it wasn't only him, Sirius too realized he had fallen for her. ««•»» Catherine Valentine had it all. She was exceptionally kind, beautiful, tall, a mischievous prankster, had a loud melodious laugh, belonged to a rich family, could care less about blood status despite being a pureblood, and an exquisite personality everyone loved. Oh, and let's not forget the heart of a certain Marauder. Not one but two Marauders.

The Astronomy of Us
The Astronomy of Us Hogwarts, 1970s. A castle steeped in shadows, secrets, and stars. Regulus Black has always known his place: the quiet heir, the perfect son, the boy who wears his family's darkness like a second skin. He has everything mapped out-dutiful studies, whispered expectations, and a future written in blood. What he doesn't have is freedom. Then Jonathan Loughran-Johnny to everyone else-crashes headfirst into the wizarding world. Loud, golden, a whirlwind of laughter and mistakes, Johnny thinks Hogwarts is nothing more than an elaborate festival. He thinks Regulus is a vampire. He's wrong about almost everything-except the way Regulus makes him feel. As Johnny stumbles through moving staircases, misfired spells, and prank wars gone nuclear, he begins to unravel the walls around the coldest Black. And as Regulus, against all reason, lets himself be pulled into Johnny's orbit, he discovers there might be more to his life than duty and shadows. But Sirius Black, determined to protect his younger brother from repeating their parents' mistakes, will stop at nothing to keep them apart-even if it means tearing Regulus's happiness from his hands. Between secret sunrises, chaotic midnight parties, and a romance that feels written in the stars, Regulus must decide: will he follow the path carved by his family, or risk everything for the boy who makes him believe in something brighter? A story of chaos, constellations, and love at first mistake. ✨ "He thought he was falling for a vampire. Turns out he just crashed into a Black." ✨ A Marauders-era Hogwarts x Hotel Transylvania parody - where chaos, comedy, and star-crossed love collide.Complete
Little Riddle | James Potter
[ EDITING] James Potter was a skilled and talented wizard, his name a renowned one amongst Hogwarts students. Many knew him because of his outstanding Quidditch skills, most because of his infatuation with Lily Evans, but everyone knew he was a key member of the infamous Marauders that tormented the castle on a daily basis. Everyone thought he was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion proved so.

He felt like he couldn't breathe. He stared up at Regulus, his eyes starting to tear up. Regulus didn't look like he regretted any word. He seemed unbothered. James looked away and nodded slowly. "Okay. Yeah, no I get it. I get it all" James stood up from his chair and grabbed his stuff. Regulus moved away from him, not even trying to stop him. "You were just having fun, right? Fun or something. Totally understand" "James, no-" Regulus sounded sorry, he sounded apologetic and it made James feel disgusted. "See you around Black" Aka James falls in love with a boy and cries the stars for him. Oneshot<3Complete
