In the future, when Regulus looked back on this moment, he would be convinced that he heard the other man chuckle, was certain the hairs on the back of his neck were raised, absolutely sure that he wasn’t blindsided by what came next. But the truth? One moment, he was walking along the sidewalk, not a care in the world, and the next, there was a searing pain against the back of his head and the world faded to black. or, James kidnaps Regulus.

Step One: Get into Hogwarts Law School. Step Two: Steal Sirius’ boyfriend. Things don’t quite go according to plan.

Regulus tenses, his expression going from neutral to one of disbelief. “You killed the pothos? One of the most tolerable plants? In just two weeks?” James nods, smiling sheepishly at the other. He can't take it back now, however stupid the lie is. “I need another one.” (or where Regulus runs a flower shop and thinks James Potter is a walking plant murderer. And where James Potter uses the lie as an excuse to return to said shop for a certain store owner.)

Regulus turned his arm around a few times, as if the Mark would suddenly appear. He even checked his other forearm, questioning his sanity the entire time. There was nothing. He didn’t understand. He could clearly remember getting the Mark. It had been so painful he’d thought he was going to die, but he could remember it. The Mark didn’t take and he was going to have to try again. And again… and again. or Regulus gets stuck in a time loop.

Regulus Black is a musical prodigy, beloved classical pianist/violinist since the age of ten, and up and coming songwriter. To the world, he has everything he could ever want at his fingertips. Until Orion Enterprises, Inc. dumps him and slanders his name in the press. He clings to the social media following as he attempts to rebuild his career. Until his brother texts him a video of his nameless band. One look at the Adonis center stage changes his priorities. James Potter is in his mole phase. As in, he's digging a deeper hole in search of escape. After a break-up he can't seem to recover from, he's buried his head in the dirt. He loses himself in his music, so he clings to the amateur band that he and his mates started in uni. Now, Sirius insists his pretentious, social media star brother must write for them. Grand.

The orange dazed Regulus’s vision as he gazed upwards, but not enough to dull the vast splay of stars that spanned, crystalline and sparkling, from battlement to battlement. He could feel James’s body heat next to him as James leaned in to align their eyes and pointed up to the night sky at the brightest star, hanging above the mountains at the south-eastern horizon. “I’ve never been so good in Astronomy,” he said quietly. “Really, all I know for sure is Sirius’s star, and yours.” “Mine?” Regulus repeated in a shocked whisper, imagining James sitting in class for years and somehow, in a sense, thinking of him all along. The thought filled him with a strange warmth. James redirected his finger a bit to the east, landing immediately on Regulus like he had done it a hundred times. “The king,” he whispered. “You know, I only realised this year that there are actually two of them.” - Or, when Regulus refuses to talk to Sirius after finding out he’s leaving home, James thinks playing chess in the Room of Requirement will fix it.

Regulus is an art student. In one of his classes, he meets the most breathtaking men he's ever seen - James Potter. He might've just found his muse. Problem is, it's way easier to paint him than actually speak to him. Lucky for him, his best friend Barty is excellent at meddling with other people's business.
