Summary
Regulus Black has not seen his older brother in seven years. He's perfectly accepted the fact that he'd been abandoned to the wrath of their parents and is content to be in a world in which he never has to see Sirius again.
They both got out, eventually. What does it matter that it wasn't together?
Regulus has his own life, now, a best-friend-slash-flatmate that he would die and kill for and a job at a planetarium that he loves. He's sure that his brother is off living happily somewhere; so there is really no need for their paths to intersect.
Fate, in the form of two concert tickets and a flatmate with a celebrity crush, has other plans.

Summary
Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew are on top of the world. They just made it through their entire first year at St. Mungo's School of Medicine and are now facing their last summer in New York City with absolutely no exams, plans, or responsibilities.
Unfortunately, nothing kills the mood faster than your estranged little brother showing up for first year orientation. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Do you swear it?” Regulus looks deep into James’ eyes, waiting for the faltering, but there is none.
“I swear it,” he says, gripping Regulus’ arm tighter.
There’s a moment of silence, and then it is James who twists their arms, locking the charm in place. Not that either of them will remember it the following day, drunk as they are.————————
James and Regulus get really drunk and make an unbreakable vow. James swears that Regulus will be in love with him by the end of the year, and Regulus swears not to push him away and make him try. When they wake up the following day, they remember nothing of it. But everyone knows what happens if you don’t go through with it, so they can do nothing but try to recall and respect their drunken promises or be met by sweet old death. As if this wasn’t enough, their everyday problems seem to double by the minute. Between the vow and life as a student,
It’s about to be a hell of a year.

Summary
Regulus Black has been running for as long as he can remember—ever since he and his brother fled their oppressive family home at a young age, determined to make it on their own.
But the years have worn him down, and the weight of survival has turned his life into a blur of exhausting jobs, empty nights, and endless isolation. Now, Regulus drifts through life as a ghost, quietly working as a university library assistant and sneaking into Economics lectures, hoping that knowledge will offer him a way out of the past that still haunts him.
But when a certain professor hires him, Regulus meets his son James, his complete opposite, who craves to show him the beauty of connection.

Or:
A pretty angsty, but still fluffy story that simultaneously follows the past of Sirius and Reg running away and doing anything to survive, and the present, where Regulus is pretty much a cold son of a bitch and James is absolutely whipped and does the most heart-warming shit for him. Also ft. Fleamont being a paternal figure to Reg, which I adore :)
