Summary
A Muggle AU in which a ballet dancer and a rugby player call it “casual” while accidentally developing feelings, catastrophically failing at communication, and pretending it’s all totally fine.
----
“Why the hell are you here ruining my lunch, James?”
James rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, trying to find words that didn’t sound completely insane.
He failed.
“I... don’t think you should be sleeping with Evan anymore.”
Regulus stared at him like he’d just proposed murdering the Queen.
(...)
“If you need a fuck buddy for, you know, stress relief and stuff… You could just use me.”
(...)
“Come again?”
“If the position’s open,” James said, attempting a grin, “I’m applying.”----

Summary
“So, you’re in my body and I’m in your body. Why don’t we like…” Sirius claps his hands together, trying to demonstrate what Regulus thinks might be two bodies colliding by force.
“Yes, yes, I see what you’re saying. A–a jolt!” Regulus says, catching on. “Okay, you go over there, and I’ll go over here.”
Sirius nods enthusiastically, like this is the best idea in the world, and heads over to the other side of the Astronomy Tower. He takes his position, looking back at Regulus. “On my count. One, two, three!”
OR: Regulus and Sirius Black wake up to find their bodies magically swapped. As the brothers stumble through each other's lives, hijinks ensue, and they are forced to confront their fears, navigate their romantic lives, and uncover hidden truths to work toward forgiveness. Inspired by Freaky Friday (2003).

Summary
There are two types of people in a small town. The ones who are suffocating, counting down every day until they can leave, and the ones who stay.
Sirius leaves. Regulus doesn't.
When Sirius returns six years later, it's to find that nothing is quite as he expected.
Sometimes you break the cycle, and sometimes, it breaks you.

Summary
Reg: You’re… adequate.
James: You have a typo in ‘the most beautiful person I’ve ever had the fortune to lay my humble eyes upon.’
Reg: Shame your humongous ego utterly ruins the impression.
James: My ego’s the perfect size for my body, thank you very much.---
Sometimes, life doesn’t go your way, but James Potter wouldn’t say he’s struggling. Not exactly. But after having his heart broken—no, not broken, shattered into a million pieces—by the woman he intended to marry, he swears off dating, determined to overcome the terrible writer’s block that’s been plaguing him ever since he finished the trilogy that earned him international fame and the status of a writing superstar.
The problem is, his muse has taped her mouth shut, moved to The Maldives, and refuses to answer his calls.
So, when he messages the wrong number by accident, he’s more than happy to distract himself by trading barbed remarks with the mysterious person on the other side. All the better when he learns his new acquaintance is a man. No danger of falling in love. Unfortunately, the stranger hides secrets of his own. Secrets that will force James to re-examine his feelings and put his poor abused heart on the line.Series

Summary
Harry learned that some things ended slowly. War, for one, love, for another.
It started with a picture of James Potter taken by an unknown person, it ended with a series of tragic love letters shut safely in Regulus Black's dusty bedroom.
--
“Did Regulus know my dad?”
That got a reaction out of Narcissa, a subtle flinch, and suddenly Harry knew with absolute surety that the picture must have been Regulus’s.
“He did, didn’t he?”
“They were only a year apart at Hogwarts, of course, they knew each other—”
“Aside from that,” Harry interrupted.
Narcissa’s mouth formed a thin line, and Andromeda nudged her. “You should tell him; dead people don’t need their secrets protected,” she said softly.
