I hope you enjoy the fics I've picked out :) The majority will be sad, though, so be warned. (Yes, I've added more ships than what you asked for, but some people also come to me for less mainstream ships haha.)

don't look back (by ANNALOVESBARRYALLEN) -

After Regulus Black dies during the First Wizarding War — sacrificing himself to weaken Voldemort — James Potter, grieving and unwilling to let go, descends into the underworld to bring him back. But just like Orpheus, he must follow one rule — he cannot look back.

The Voice that Urged Orpheus (by thenotyetpublishedpen) -

Remus watched the green light fade far too slowly from the room, pulling all color with it. Or perhaps the world had always been this instantly, achingly, empty. He ran forward, pulled by an invisible line to the arch, compelling him to follow. He would have. He wanted to. Damn the killing curse, damn the arch, Sirius was just right there, just on the other side. He could reach him. He had to.

Remus decides to bring Sirius back from beyond the veil.

Definitely Lovers (by alibraryofsoulsandstars) -

After becoming slightly obsessed with Greek tragedies, Regulus decides that there are three stages of love—flying, falling, and drowning. But whether he’s Icarus or Patroclus, does it really matter? He’s still doomed—especially when it comes to James.

“What is a star if not a distant sun?”

Regulus Black is not Icarus. No, that is James Potter. It is he who orbits the not-so-distant sun that is Regulus. It is he who will do anything in his power to protect the one he loves.

Why is it that the greatest loves always end with the greatest tragedies?

What would you be willing to do, to get your happy ending?

It could be obsession. Remus likes to call it love.

an endless sky of honey (by colgatebluemintygel & pjxckson) -

After breaking his father’s most absolute law, Sirius is exiled to the shadowy Underworld, where all dead and forgotten things go. There, his dreams are haunted by memories of a lost love he was made to forget, and his waking moments are haunted by Death, the mysterious ruler of the Underworld, who Sirius finds himself increasingly drawn to…

Even before I was touched, I belonged to you (orphaned) -

Once, and once only, she told her of an ancient myth. A poet losing his beloved bride to a snake bite. Filled with despair, he crawled down to the Underworld to plead for her life. His song charmed the god of death, who took mercy and granted the poet his wish on one condition: he'd have to exit hell without turning back, trusting his beautiful lover was right behind him. Just before reaching the top, his love befogged his thinking and he turned, only to watch her vanish into dust.

Marlene's never told anyone this.

Marlene thinks she wouldn't be so dumb. Marlene knows she would have never turn around, never risk her lover's life for a glimpse. Marlene knows a second is worth nothing in the face of forever.

Marlene always looks at Dorcas anyway.

Barty sighed, pausing for a moment. “Y'know…” he started and Evan groaned, he had that look in his eyes.

“I bet you can't walk all the way back to the hotel room with me behind you without looking back.”
