Summary
At first, it's only a game. A plan. A way to remind Sirius what he left behind when he walked out of Grimmauld Place months ago and never looked back.
Sirius chose James. So now, Regulus will make James choose him.(Or: Regulus sets out to destroy Sirius and James’s friendship by seducing James. It works. Just not the way he wanted.)

Summary
Regulus Black has spent six years pretending he doesn't miss his brother.
Then he sees Sirius in a record shop.
After that, he starts collecting sightings like secrets and sending his flatmate, Remus Lupin, into Sirius's orbit.
A recommendation here. A coffee shop there. A record shop. A bookstore. A bar.
Anything to make sure they keep running into each other.
Or: the one where Regulus is too afraid to talk to Sirius himself, so he leaves his brother in Remus's hands and hopes for a miracle.

Summary
Regulus is dreading meeting his soulmate. Worse, he has no idea what his sign will be. A mark on his skin, a flash of light when they touch…
Then he wakes up in an unfamiliar body and realises he is one of the very few destined for a soul switch—a body swap.
Usually, this wouldn’t be a problem. Evidently, the universe forgot to take into account his overly protective brother who would treat an intruder in his little brother’s body as a possible demonic entity.
Just his luck.
[or, Regulus and James swap bodies, Remus is stressed, and Sirius is the best brother]

Summary
In 1981, the war ended with Voldemort’s death. Thirteen years later, Regulus still lives in the shadow of his parents’ contribution to the cause. No matter how hard he works or how much he accomplishes, he can’t escape the weight of his family name.
With the biggest project of his career now in front of him, Regulus leaves London to pose as a Healer on the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. The only hiccup is a variable he never could’ve accounted for: James Potter, whose presence disrupts Regulus’ plans and forces him to reconsider everything he thought he knew.

Summary
At the beginning of the Hogwarts 1977-1978 school year, James Potter finds a cat and Regulus Black finds a Horcrux.
These events are not unrelated.
What follows is a deal to their mutual benefit: James helps Regulus hone the finer details of advanced transfiguration, and in return, Regulus teaches James what he knows of occlumency and legilimency. James is pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoys their lessons, certainly more than he thought he would considering what (admittedly little) he knows of Sirius’s younger brother. Regulus, for his part, thought he was smart enough to know that anyone with as many secrets as him has no business teaching fucking mind reading to another person. Especially when that person is James Potter.
There is affection—the kind that only comes from meeting someone you never expected to understand you. And there is war—a looming thunderhead that neither of them wants to see consume the other.
The rest is a matter of secrets, family, and letting go.
