Regulus Black x Muggleborn OC | Enemies to Lovers | Slow Burn | Marauders Era | 1979 | Canon-Divergent
Summary:
She's a Muggleborn orphan with no name anyone remembers and a past she doesn't speak about-not to the other girls in Gryffindor Tower, not to the professors who think they know her, and certainly not to the pureblood boy who's just been assigned to tutor her.
He's Regulus Black: heir of the Noble and Most Ancient House, model Slytherin, poster child for the kind of pureblood perfection that gets you killed in a war you were born into. Cold, composed, untouchable-and completely unwilling to waste his time on a girl he's been taught to despise.
But it's 1979, and nothing is safe anymore. Not the corridors, not the curriculum, not even the truth. The war brewing outside the castle walls has begun to seep in, staining the edges of their carefully separate lives. And when a failing grade forces them into close quarters, neither of them can afford to walk away.
Not unless they want to lose more than just the year.
Thrown together in the bowels of the castle twice a week-where the torches sputter and the shadows whisper-they begin to unravel each other. Slowly. Reluctantly. Painfully. Because she doesn't trust anyone, and he doesn't feel anything. Because they were never supposed to meet in the middle.
But the devil you know is still a devil.
And sometimes, the only way out is through the fire.
Themes:
- Introspective character study
- Moral ambiguity and survival
- Class divide & blood politics
- Repressed desire and reluctant vulnerability
- Late-night study sessions, clandestine cigarettes, near-touches that feel like confessions
- A love story that never asks for forgiveness, only understanding
Tropes:
- Enemies to reluctant allies to lovers
- Forced proximity (tutoring)
- Hurt/comfort
- "There was only one bed" (eventually)
- Mutual pining, but repressed to hell
- He falls first (but she falls harder)

Nothing Grew Here: R.A.B x Potter Sister (Marauders era)
Aurelia "Rae" Potter has always been the Gryffindor golden girl - reckless, radiant, and brilliant in a way that leaves professors exhausted and classmates in awe. The kind of girl who lights a fire and dares the world to tell her to put it out. Regulus Black is her opposite in every way: poised, perfect, and pureblood to the bone. He's a Slytherin heir, the family favourite, a boy made of sharp lines and colder truths. He's also been her academic rival since first year. For years, they've orbited each other like twin stars destined to collide - too competitive, too stubborn, too aware of the other's presence in every classroom and corridor. But the war is no longer at the edge of the world. It's in the newspapers. In whispered curfews. In the trembling silences between laughter. When sides are chosen and lines are drawn, Rae and Regulus find themselves walking tightropes - between loyalty and love, between the future they were promised and the one they want. What starts as rivalry turns into something else entirely. Something gentler. Something terrifying. Because how do you love someone who stands on the other side of everything you believe in? And how do you stop, once you've started?

devotion | regulus black
― "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. ☽｡⋆Lengkap

L'état de Bonace. Eng. Translation: The state of peace before a storm right next to the ocean Alexandria Nimue Merlin was a simple girl, really. She loves her family more than life itself, and she is rather focused on reading her classic literature rather than spending time listening to her teachers. All that she ever wanted was to be one of those Disney princesses she saw on television. How one day someone charming will sweep her off her feet, and she will learn to love. Curiously, on her eleventh birthday, she received a rather odd letter. She got accepted to this school of wizardry, the same school her cousin Lily Evan frequented. Time passes on, and Alexandria is currently in her sixth year at Hogwarts. Normally, a girl like Alexandria should be worried about her clothes, boys, and her grades. But, no. The year is 1977, the year of the snake. Hogwarts is no longer the same, with the growing threat of the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters creeping into everyday life. Regulus Arcturus Black, the secondborn of the noble house of Black. All his life, he has been dedicated to being the perfect son, to fill the empty gap that his older brother had left behind.

Cross Your Heart // Regulus Black
The Sacred 28 families are some of the most powerful wizarding lines in the world, and their purity is guarded carefully. Many a pureblood has been forced to marry for blood rather than for love, but no one takes it quite as seriously as the last of the original sacred families. They marry for status, not for love. Never for love. With the families dying out and the old traditions fading into distant memory, it's never been more paramount for the Sacred families to make powerful matches for their children. Preserving the pureblood lines and the magic that runs through them is of the utmost importance. The Black Family Dynasty is more than familiar with the traditional customs, and no one has arranged a more powerful match than Walburga and Orion Black. A Gaunt and a Black. An inconceivably powerful alliance, two of the most prominent family lines in wizarding history, finally connected. Their son, their heir, matched with a Gaunt? They couldn't be happier. Magdelyna Merope Gaunt, the daughter of Morfin Gaunt and the cousin of Tom Marvolo Riddle himself. She could never refuse such a match- no good pureblooded girl would ever dare to turn away a member of the House of Black. And with her family nearly eradicated, she has no choice but to marry. Who better than Regulus Black? The only complication? The wizarding world is teetering on the edge of a war, and Regulus is right in the middle of it. When a prophecy complicates matters, Regulus and Magdelyna have to work together to stay alive, caught up in a game that neither fully understands: a game that stretches through time, that defies the laws of life and death. When the side of good isn't completely good and the side of evil isn't completely evil, they have to find a middle ground. --- {1978-1998} Regulus Black x Original Female Character MATURE BOOK!
