Regulus Black knew the story of Icarus. With his wings of wax and folly of pride, Regulus did not listen to this caution.
He flew to James. He flew until his world had unravelled around him and continued even as his wings melted away.
He supposed it could have been worse. He could have been fated to burn alone.

Regulus's (Very Professional) Guide To Forming A Family
Regulus Arcturus Black had never once needed friends. In fact, he was quite repulsed by the very idea of having one. It was an insult to himself and to his upbringing to even suggest that he may need a companion. Mother had taught him better than that. Father had taught him better than that. Even Sirius had unintentionally taught him better than that. Or Regulus realizes he may need a friend more than he originally thought. Among other things.Complete
The Day the Music Died | Jegulus, Wolfstar
"You look like a painting, Reg," whispered James, genuine adoration plastered in every inch of his face. "Is that a good thing?" Regulus knitted his eyebrows together, a subtle smile curling his lips. "Definitely." A romance hidden under the horrors of the war, where kids fought with more pride than adults, where they didn't lose faith even when everything seemed lost. This story takes place in Hogwarts' 7th year. Regulus is Sirius' younger brother, exactly one year behind them, James couldn't expect that an innocent talk in the astronomy tower would lead to fall for him hopelessly, and neither did the young Black. But love doesn't stop time, nor does it save people. It's like a beautiful scarlet rose, as its petals fall, it dies. When that letter found its way to my hands, the music died.

helter-skelter | jegulus au
After a year of radio silence, James shows up at his ex boyfriend's door so drunk he can hardly stand and picks up a metaphorical rattlesnake by its metaphorical tail. Some people have to taste poison twice to learn their lesson. -𓆱- James walked like he was walking the line of a tightrope, with his arms out to trace through windless night air. His cigarette was gone. "Where are you going?" He turned to Regulus' voice slowly, as if unsurprised he'd been followed through the hot dark. James shrugged. "You don't know?" Sometimes James felt like picking a direction and walking until his legs gave out, then getting up the next day to keep walking, and never turning around.
