Summary
Regulus Black fell in love. He lived in bliss, finally free from his overbearing family and the pressures of the mainland, on a small island off the coast. But his relationship ended with angry words in the middle of one of the worst storms of the century.
He's moved on from that now, made a career for himself as a writer. He's reconnected with his brother, adopted a few cats, and is finally settling into life without his lover — beyond the betrayal.
When he receives an email asking for his help, he decides to go back to the island where his heart got broken. Instead of finding closure, he discovers that James Potter never actually left… and there less than normal reason behind his harsh words.

Summary
A few weeks ago, Regulus Black jumped off a bridge. It's not that he really wanted to die, but he didn't really want to live either. He didn't think anyone would care one way or another, if he's honest. Now he's stuck learning how to live.
James Potter was used to seeing Reg every day at the cafe he worked in, until one day he stopped coming in. When he finally sees the guy he's been crushing on come back into the cafe, he knew he had to take his chance at asking him out on a date.
***This fic deals with heavy themes of depression, lack of a will to live, and suicide, but will have a happy ending***

I can still recall our last summer by stardust_candy

Summary
James stretched his arm out beside him to pull a dandelion out of the grass. He sat up and lifted Reg’s hat so he could tuck it behind his ear. He put the hat on his own head. Regulus gave him the best scowl he could muster whilst ignoring the heat that crept up his face which he knew he couldn't blame on the weather.
“I'm going inside,” Regulus announced. He made no move to get up, but James caught his hand like he was already walking away.
“Wait, I wanted to ask you something.”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to spend our summer break with me?” James asked. “At my home.”
***
Regulus spends the summer with James, along with all of James’ friends, one of which was his obnoxious brother, Sirius. With new friends, a hidden boyfriend, an infuriatingly annoying older brother, and a few unfolding secrets, this summer should prove to be interesting at least. Maybe even enjoyable for the five of them. That is if Regulus and Sirius didn't kill one another before it was over.

Summary
Hermione Granger goes into her 6th year of Hogwarts, unknowingly bound to two different wizards. One is her soul bound boyfriend of a year, and the other is her resurrected, secret-to-her husband. The year starts off with neither of the wizards knowing about the other, and vying for her affections. Each bond comes with its own consequences, and naturally neither wizard has the good sense to clue Hermione in. Complications ensue as she's caught between the two, and they're all unwittingly intertwined.
All the while, Hermione questions if she has any free will regarding these two connections, or if she's simply a victim of fate.
The story won't be told chronologically. Most of the focus will be on 6th year, with flashbacks to her secret relationship, and her unknown marriage.

Summary
Regulus Black, unfortunately, was handsome; and with such a feature, came many scandalous comments pushing his way. He’d gotten used to brushing off girls or ignoring wandering eyes. But when James Potter, his brother’s best friend, who he’s just moved in with, chooses him to be a subject to his flirtatious whims, how will he act? Especially considering the disastrously real feelings he has for the Gryffindor Golden boy, which James clearly does not reciprocate. Well, at least that’s what Regulus thinks.
OR
a 5+1 of james flirting with regulus until regulus finally flirts back. was meant to be a cute fluff oneshot but evolved too far (still fluffy asf tho!!)

Summary

But the one thing he knows for certain. He just has to have Regulus fucking Black.

Summary
The home glowed, golden and alive, as though holding its breath.
A knock broke the stillness.
Light--brighter than the sun and filled with green--spilled through the house.
And in the hush that followed, silence lingered, like the black of night.
"What are we supposed to do with a kid!"

Summary
James and Regulus have been dancing around their feelings for each other for years. They’re oblivious—or just extremely unwilling to admit it to their friends. They both go in and out of relationships, unable to see that the reason they keep failing is because what they actually want is right in front of them.
Everybody knows.

Summary
'When authorities had removed the body from the bin the true story began to unfold, in regards to what truly happened to Fenrir Greyback. The victim was found without a t-shirt, which was later discovered in a nearby bush by Auror's, but the missing clothing on the victims body revelled the word ‘paedophile’ which had been engraved deeply into the skin of his back.'
---------------
Or Regulus Black is in some sense of the word 'criminally insane'. But he's doing it in the name of protecting the people he had once called family. Even if they all think he's dead.

Summary
Regulus Black loves France. Which is why, when he's called into his father's office and coldly informed that he's going to be entering the same foreign exchange program that his brother did a few years prior---in Britain nonetheless---he has a very hard time believing that anything will ever be okay again. Within days, everything he's ever known is turned on its head. He's forced into a world with people he can't communicate with, customs he doesn't understand, and a brother whom he's not sure how to talk to anymore. It's hard to find his footing, when every step seems to fall out from beneath him, and every decision feels wrong.
Sirius Black hates France. The culture is lovely, but between the abuse of his parents and the crushing weight of their expectations, Sirius finds it hard to find things to reminisce about. Really, the only thing he misses is his brother, who slips further through his hands with every passing minute. When he gets the call, he’s almost happy for a moment. That is, until he’s very promptly informed that his brother blames him for being torn away from France, and becomes aware that this is very unlikely to bring them closer together.
Instead, it's likely to tear them completely apart.

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.- Language:
