    to be on the same wavelength: (idiom) for two or more people to think in a similar way and to understand each other well
    ............
    As requested on TikTok— Regulus has a gay awakening after getting thrown against the wall by Remus Lupin.

    Regulus does everything right, so why is it that all of the good that could come to him flows directly to his brother, Sirius? Regulus is three times the man Sirius is on paper, so what is it about Sirius that makes life come so effortlessly when Regulus is struggling so hard? The only thing Sirius has that Regulus doesn't is an open heart. Could it really be that simple? Regulus is about to find out.

    Join the Marauders and Co on a journey through Hogwarts and horcrux hunting in this story about building connections, breaking them, and learning about yourself on the way.

    Featuring: Regulus "This is Awkward" Black, James "Everything's Fine" Potter, Sirius "Drama King" Black, Remus "Its Complicated" Lupin, & Severus "Not Sure How I Got Here" Snape.

    Summary

    After Regulus reaches past his 'expiry age' according to pureblood society, and with no marital prospects left except for the opportunists looking to take advantage of the Black family's predicament, he is allowed to marry James on the condition that Regulus will conceive an heir no matter what it costs and that James will move in to live with him into Grimmauld Place.

    James follows him into the imperial Black family to protect him.

    Summary

    Night fell in Grimmauld Place like a thick black cloak. Looking at it, all looked still. But within, if you were watching closely, if you listened very carefully, you found that the fabric really covered very little. It was more the darkness you had to get through.

    Regulus was listening.

    THIS IS A LONG FIC WITH A LOT OF HEADCANON. We start before Sirius and Regulus are even in Hogwarts and I literally have plot planned through the war. We explore characters in depth. You're going to hate and love (but mostly love) every single character in the fic by the end if I've done my job correctly. Well. Except for a few of them. We don't play apologetics for child abuse here. If you like it, please tell me. If you don't, please write your opinion down on a piece of paper, then burn it :)

    Summary

    Regulus was never one to make plans, but when it came to his future with Barty, he had plenty of plans. They were going to leave their houses together, move in together and spend the rest of their lives together as best friends who became boyfriends along the way. Regulus had a plan, but the return of his older brother six years after he ran away makes all of Regulus' plans collapse.
    Barty always had a plan for his future with Regulus, it was always the two against the world, best friends who would always stick together no matter what, but since Sirius' return, Barty has begun to wonder if his dreams are really going to come true.

    At some point, their plans start to crumble.

    Evan Rosier and James Potter were not part of those plans.

    "Real people?" He asked in a low voice.
    "Yes," Barty agreed dreamily.
    "Yeah, okay," Regulus said softly, "Let's be real people."
    "Yeah," Barty lifted his head from his shoulder and looked up at him with his beautiful dark eyes, leaning in to place a simple kiss on his cheek, " Let's be them."
