    Summary

    “Regulus.”

    “Don’t sound like this,” Regulus pleads.

    “Like what, love, scared?” James says, and he doesn’t sound scared. He sounds frightened, drenched in it. Terrified. A cocktail of all of the worst feelings a person can feel, each sip more bitter than the last. It compresses Regulus’ heart, his chest, his entire being. Pain coming from within is one thing, but witnessing it in the person you love is impossible to describe.

    Summary

    In December 1977, Regulus Black did something brave. He ran.

    With nothing but a wand he couldn’t use, a bag of money, and a desperate hope for survival, Regulus escaped into the muggle world mere days before his Death Eater initiation.

    Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.

    ***

    Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.

    Summary

    James is convinced that he hates Regulus. It’s what he tells everyone, and it’s what he tells himself. But after a failed attempt at confronting Regulus in the locker room after a Quidditch match, he finds out very quickly that he definitely doesn’t hate him. Far from it, actually.

    Summary

    Even among the wizardkind, Regulus Black is different.
    He has a unique ability.
    With nothing but a couple of brush strokes, he can paint a person’s soulmate.
    Portrait by portrait, his skill has never failed, with one exception.
    See, Regulus Black can paint everyone’s soulmate.
    Except his own.

    ***

    “Alright,” James says, but a hint of disbelief haunts the corners of his mouth, curled in a wry smirk. “Will you do it, then? Will you paint my—my soulmate? A trace of raw longing filters into the inquiry, making Regulus’ decision for him.
    Watching James Potter—Regulus’ big, unanswered question—getting the certainty denied to Regulus, will be a bitter pill to swallow, and if he were a stronger man, he’d refuse. But he’s not a strong man either.
    “Yes.”
