Summary
And there he is, Regulus, vibrant and angry and alive; and James doesn’t even care how it is possible that Regulus is still breathing—he just cares that he is.
Or, in which James saves Regulus’ life by accidentally turning back time—but every action has consequences, and some come with a cost that’s impossible to pay.

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

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
When Sirius leaves to go on a trip for the christmas holidays with his boyfriend, it leaves James, for once in his life, left completely alone. During the break, he supposed there were a lot of things he could be doing- but instead he was rotting inside of his apartment, alone with his thoughts and the recent bubbling, deprecative feelings within him left after a recent break up.
His days are slow, his mind slower, and it's what has him taking one of his late night runs much later than he's planned, setting out beneath the stars.
What he does not expect- is to find a man on the bridge, overlooking the ways down below.
Or; James thinks it's fate that has him running late on his daily run and finding Regulus Black before he can jump, and Regulus does not think he has it in him to find a will to live until he is staying in a random man's apartment, hiding out from his parents.

Summary
James has never been happier working behind the sticky, crowded bar than when he comes face to face with the most perfect stranger he's ever met. That is, until he realises that Regulus is engaged to Dorcas. Maybe if he spent a little less time arguing with himself about the morality of flirting with someone else's fiancé, and a little more time talking to Remus and Sirius, he'd piece together that Regulus isn't actually engaged at all...
