Summary
Regulus lives by a strict set of rules when it comes to love. James makes him want to break every single one of them.
Or: Regulus agreed to six dates with James. No touching. Just enough time to be sure that what they had was real. Then, they'd break the news to Sirius. But when the two are forced to share a room on a trip, their self-control is put to the test as they try to see who can make the other break first.

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
“I’m referring you out for a second opinion.”
“You were-hic—the second opinion.”
Remus won’t remind him he’s actually the fourteenth opinion he’s had in three years. That seems impolite.
“Listen,” the elderly doctor continues, “I have a colleague at the Mayo Clinic who’s brilliant. Most promising young mind in the field. If he can’t solve it, no one can.”
He slides a business card across the desk; its crisp, shiny letters read: Sirius Black, MD, PhD. Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.
OR
An ethically questionable medical fic in which unconventional problems require unconventional solutions.

We qualify angels by weight of wings, isn’t that a little shallow? by ThisLiminalSpace for inthesquare

Summary
“You write like a drunk pigeon,” James says, turning the paper to the side and squinting. “Seriously, aren’t noble people supposed to know how to write?”
Regulus steals the scroll back, rolls it, and wacks him on the head with it. “Shut it,” he says, so James drops the subject and eyes the scroll instead.
“What’s this, then? Are we conjuring the devil?”
Regulus kisses his teeth. “I have… rules.”
“No kidding,” he deadpans.
--
Prompt 63: When James won’t shut up about how he could get with anyone he wants, Sirius challenges him to a bet: if James can persuade Sirius’ ice cold younger brother Regulus to go out with James on three dates, Sirius will do all of James’ homework for a full term.

Summary
“Who are the marauders?”
“They’re teen royalty,” Evan says, glancing over at the field, and Remus follows his gaze to a trio of boys making their way out onto the field, wind artfully tousling their hair like they’re currently shooting a shampoo commercial. “If Hogsmeade was The Daily Prophet, they would always be on the cover.”
“That one there, that’s James Potter,” Barty says, pointing at the dark skinned boy with messy hair and gold rimmed glasses, his gym uniform appearing to be several sizes too small. “He is one of the dumbest guys you will ever meet. Evan sat next to him in English last year.”
“He asked me how to spell orange.”
“And that little one, that’s Peter Pettigrew,” Barty continues, pointing out the smaller blonde boy, a muggle cell phone pressed against his ear, so focused on his call that he doesn’t even notice the dodgeball before it bounces off the side of his head. “Peter Pettigrew knows everyone’s business. He knows everything about everyone.”
“And evil takes human form in Sirius Black,” Barty says darkly, an unpleasant expression crossing his face.
