Closer than Intended by Art5y_lo8 for Remuslupinslittlewhoreslut

Summary
This fic is a Jegulus rewrite that’s very heavily inspired by Before Us — ik the original is orphaned, but still gotta give credit where credit’s due.
Regulus ends up as James Potter’s college roommate, which is already a nightmare, and then he realizes James also comes with a baby. A literal baby.
Between late-night bottle disasters, Rosie falling asleep on him, and James accidentally being soft, Regulus starts getting attached in all the wrong ways.
Meanwhile, Mulciber seems charming until he isn’t, and Regulus finds himself stuck in something he keeps trying to convince himself is normal.
Slow burn, messy emotions, bad decisions, and Jegulus pretending they don’t care (until they really, really do). -

Summary
On the night Voldemort comes to Godric’s Hollow, Lily’s sacrifice saves Harry — but a mysterious young woman saves James. Years later, James Potter raises his son with the help of Sirius and Remus, grieving his wife yet haunted by the memory of the stranger who looked at him with heartbreaking familiarity. When Harry enters Hogwarts and James finally meets Hermione Granger, he realizes the truth: the girl who saved him is the same witch who now walks at his son’s side.
What begins as a struggle to reconcile grief, fate, and fatherhood becomes a battle against destiny itself. Across the years of war, James must confront Dumbledore’s secrets, Harry’s peril, and the growing pull toward the brilliant witch bound to him by time. As Hermione discovers the cost of stepping into the past and James learns to live beyond the shadow of loss, their entwined paths reveal a truth neither can deny: this was the path that was always meant to be.

Summary
James slid to the floor across from him. It came with the easiness of familiarity that rooted itself deep into the body. Memories locked in muscle. They’d sat like this countless of times; a stance reserved for drunken nonsense after a long night out, for confessions, for musings and fears, for pockets of comfortable silence, for nothing but the radio.
This was the James from back then—perpetually sun-soaked, worry-less James—who handed out his little mercies and bathed you in light.

Regulus leaves his parents at 17, finding shelter with Sirius at the Potters' home somewhere along the rocky shores of Devon. What follows are the good years, then the unspeakable ones, and then, inexplicably—like a roach, a true Black—Regulus comes out the other end alive.
He just doesn't expect to stumble into the easy solace of James Potter and his five-year-old son.

Summary
No matter what he endures, Regulus never dies when he should.
No matter his heart, no one knows grief as intimately as James.
No matter Sirius' rage, the truth will never taste the same again.
No matter what Remus wants, his wolf may be the key to their survival.Old gods are mingling with humans again and Death has a revenge to take on mad men. These are the pawns on his checkboard; fractured by the war, fascinating in their own ways, more intertwined with the strings of Fate now than they ever were.

Summary
Lily Evans was kicked out of her sister’s house as soon as her nephew was born, and as she didn’t want to worry her friends, she sought out the people she had loathed back in school.
Bad news was, Sirius no longer lived there.
Good news was, his brother was looking for a roommate.
Bonding over their shitty relationships with their siblings, Lily and Regulus became fast friends, and when they met Remus Lupin and Dorcas Meadowes, their next door neighbors, it was a match made in hell.
Together, they opened a book/flower/coffee shop, and it was fairly popular. It wasn’t until one Mary McDonald stormed inside and demanded an unusual bouquet that their relatively boring lives took a wild turn.
