He thinks he should use that knowledge.
He thinks he should tell someone.
He thinks about his brother.
He remembers that no one loves him, and he thinks that could be an asset, for the mission he needs to undertake.

Or, Regulus Black, loneliness, and lack of touch.

Summary
James has his worst depressive episode in years.
At some point he falls asleep, maybe. He thinks he dreams and that’s bad too. He remembers people talking and feeling the weight of their disappointment. Maybe that wasn’t a dream after all.
Either way, James continues to cry. He was right, earlier. This is utterly unbearable to go through alone.
“Oh, my love,” he hears from the doorway. And Regulus is there—he’s not alone. James doesn’t lift his head or move in any way, but Regulus comes to him, crouching down stroking his hair. and it’s like a gasp of air after being on the verge of drowning. Regulus is here.

Summary
Best-selling novelist Remus Lupin, distraught and torn after his relationship of 10 years ends in nothing but doubt and litigation leaves the bustle of New York City, and retreats to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in hopes of reconnecting to his childhood and getting his writing spark back. Sirius Black is a local ceramicist and single parent with a backstory all his own, who happens to frequent the coffee shop Remus grew up studying in. Remus for the first time in his life didn't have a plan when he booked a one way plane ticket--except for maybe the plan to never fall in love again. Except...
A story of simple pleasures, love, and home.
(Modern, Adult Wolfstar AU; set in the states)

Summary
“It’s so weird being out here when no one else is. It’s like we’re the last ones left.”
Remus hums in agreement. “Or the first inhabitants of a new planet.”
“Not much hope for populating this new planet is there.”
Moony cuffs him lightly on the shoulder. “You’re horrible.”

Bookmarker's Notes
He spent all summer working himself up into a right state, pacing from wall to wall of his room building up palaces of the precisely right words to construe the magnificence of his grief all to arrive at King’s Cross and watch as Remus took him in blankly and muttered, “Thank you for saying that,” and it to hit Sirius that he wasn’t magnificent even in his repentance, that for all his efforts he didn’t amount to anything worth Moony’s time or attention, the fevered flame that had sustained him up until that point effectively withered down to nothing. He doesn’t think he’s felt properly warm since.

Summary
Sirius is imagining a billion things - James, bleeding and hurt. Someone in their living room. Whatever terrible things there could possibly be, they all run through his head so quickly one after another it's almost all at once.
What he does not expect…
Is Regulus. Regulus, bleeding and hurt, heaving and gasping with hands shaking against James' chest and arms, laid sideways against his chest as if --
As if it's familiar, really.
_______
Regulus shows up at the Potters' house bleeding and hurt, which reveals something about James' relationship with him to Sirius.
Sirius has a hard time accepting many things, from Regulus being here to him and James being a thing.
Horrible truths are discovered, and in the end, Sirius could never really let go of caring for Regulus, even when he tried so hard to.

Summary
“Sirius?”
It takes a second for him to realize he’s wrong. It’s not Sirius’ voice, familiar as it is.
“No, though I’m not surprised you’d think so. I’m the overlooked sibling.”
The overlooked sibling, as it is, has backed away—James is sure his head was resting on his thighs a second ago. Regulus stands a few feet away now, his posture overly casual. One leg is stretched out gracefully before him while the other curls up to his chest. He’s calculated nonchalance, with an arm draped effortlessly over his raised knee. Playing a great game of pretend. He looks bored, almost. Almost, because there is no mistaking how sharp those gray eyes look, catching and dissecting every movement in the room. Resting on James with something like confusion.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is just so lovely and beautiful, I can’t recommend it enough!
Chapter 3: Maybe he isn’t panicking. Maybe he just realized Regulus isn’t the same, but James is. Maybe it’s the realization that while he’d been treading water, the world around him changed.
James hasn’t. Pick him up six years ago and freeze him, defrost him now, he’s the same. A belt of trauma, a lot of tears, and several dozen panic attacks, but he’s the same.
~*~
And then, Regulus starts disintegrating before his very eyes. Turning to sand. James knows what happens when you tighten your grip on sand. The particles try to find the path of least resistance, and the sand slips out from between your fingers. Escapes through gaps. And James is so careful, but nature made hands that are the perfect shape for holding other hands. Hands aren’t made to hold sand. There are gaps between James’ fingers and in the creases of his palms. Sand finds its way through these small openings. Manages to find gravity, regardless of how careful James is being. It’s inevitable, and the worst part is, perhaps, that James watches it happen. Hand suspended, carefully balanced, shaking with the effort to remain undisturbing.
And it’s not enough.
Chapter 7: Back together!!

Summary
“You are not bad,” James murmurs, carding his fingers through Regulus’ hair again as if he’s forgotten about how greasy it is. “You feel bad sometimes, yes, but that doesn’t mean you are bad.”
“I don’t know, James. I don’t know,” Regulus whispers. “Nothing makes sense.”
or, Regulus shuts off while James is on a work trip.
