    James Potter never anticipated getting panic attacks. Or finding himself relying on Regulus Black for comfort. Or for all of that to somehow lead to a pretend relationship.

    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.”

    Summary

    After being kicked out of home, Regulus finds himself in the spare bedroom of James’s house and is thrown into a life of toddlers and old friends

    /

    The night Regulus turned up on Sirius’s doorstep, James, Lily, and their son, Harry, were over for Sunday dinner. James opened the door. And there was Regulus Black. The five years since James had last seen him didn’t change him much and changed him hugely at the same time. His hair was longer, his eyes were duller and the bags under them were much more pronounced. His skin was tinged with grey and he looked like a frightened deer, like he would bold any minute. He was still beautiful

    Summary

    “Sorry Moons! As I was saying though... I wanted to be James and Reg’s best man! Now I have to pick!!” Remus raised one eyebrow. “You thought you would be Regulus’s best man? Sorry Padfoot, but that’s reserved. Regulus promised that spot to me way back in school.”

    Sirius gasped. (or Remus was pretty sure that’s what that was) “Brother thief!” Remus grinned. “Hey, at least I didn’t fuck him.”

    Summary

    Regulus looks into James’ eyes, whiskey-soft and full of love, and his heart soars and screams, yes, absolutely, fucking yes. He wants to try. He’s willing to risk everything. To put his newly restored heart on the line again. For James, he’d sacrifice a lot more.
    “But it’s still fake. Us. Dating. It’s all… fake,” he whispers into James’ chest, an objection James rewards with a trickle of laughter.
    “Is it?”

    ***

    After the sudden death of his husband, Regulus Black returned home to mend bridges and fix his shattered heart. All he wants to do is tend his garden and business while the days wash over him in silence. Of course, he doesn’t count on James Potter, who barges into his life to remind him that flowers need sunlight to blossom. That growth requires stepping out of the shadows. That falling in love requires... courage.
