    Summary

    When they were young, Sirius had always poked fun at Regulus' name for being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Naturally, Regulus strived to defy the odds of his namesake; but in a Gryffindor-esque, impulsive act of bravery, Regulus turned the tides of the Marauder's story. Sirius had been right, of course, and unbeknownst to any of them, their future now burns brighter than Regulus in the Leo constellation on a stary night.

    Or, an alternate universe where Regulus makes a split-second decision to run away with Sirius and changes the course of everyone’s future.

    Summary

    When James Potter is hit with a spell which makes him lose his memory, everyone is understandably freaked out. Everyone except for James, of course, who is too busy trying to reassure his boyfriend that he hasn’t forgotten him and never will.

     

    Except, James Potter is single, and Regulus Black has no idea why he seems to think otherwise.

     

    [or, James is confused but still a sap, Regulus is flustered, and everyone else is just along for the ride.]

    Summary

    Regulus lost his brother a long time ago, but he doesn't blame that on him, he knows that sooner or later, that was supposed to happen and now that he understands exactly why he ran away, he wants to do just the same...
    OR
    Regulus runs to the muggle world, finds Barty, realizes that his brother founded a famous alternative rock band and goes to find him, just to come to the realization that the lead singer is much hotter in person than in Wikipedia.

    Summary

    “Excuse me, you what?”

    “I want you to take Regulus out on a date,” Sirius repeats casually as if he hasn’t just said the most absurd thing ever, watching the Snitch that had escaped James’ hand the second Sirius had made the ridiculous request the first time.

    James stares at his best friend in disbelief, because what?

    “Look, if you go on a date with Regulus, I can go out on my Moony date. My parents will realise that their stupid idea of cursing me with only getting to date once Regulus does didn’t work out because look at that, Regulus also dates! They reverse the magic, Regulus can happily go back to refusing to date anyone, I can go back happily dating Remus, and you can happily go back doing whatever you had planned to do this summer. Quidditch, I assume.”
