Summary
“What are you doing here?”
“Couldn’t sleep,” James said with a grin, flashing straight, white teeth. “Decided to take a midnight stroll. You?”
“Could you stroll in any other part of the campus?” Regulus responded.
“Oh,” James murmured, smile faltering. “Well, I didn’t mean to intrude. I didn’t know you would be here, and I heard you playing and it was really, very good.”
“Wonderful,” he said, voice dry. “Now if you would be so kind and leave.”
“Can I listen?” James blurted. His nose scrunched after the words left his lips, and he reached up to scrub his fingers at the skin just beneath his eyes, behind the lenses of his round-rimmed glasses.
“No.”
***
Or, Regulus wants to be a classical pianist but can only bring himself to practice at night, and James has insomnia and finds music is the perfect cure. An exploration of Regulus's mind and struggle with the Black family, his journey to accepting himself, and his path to mending broken relationships, building new ones, and maybe, possibly, finding love. (circa 70s in a boarding school much like Hogwarts, only muggle)

Summary
Before Hogwarts, the Black brothers used to share everything, and leave the rest of the world outside. But when Sirius leaves for school, the world seems to come between them, no matter how much Sirius would like to take Regulus with him into his new life.
Regulus should be jealous of his brother's new best friend, but can't bring himself to hate him. James can't help but love the younger Black, and Sirius just wants to steal Regulus away from their pathetic excuse for a home. Can they save Regulus in time, or is the world going to separate Black brothers for good?
The story starts from 1971, and is going to be a long one, following Sirius, Regulus, James and Remus through their school years and Wizarding War I. It's going to be canon compliant in the beginning, but not for too long.

Summary
"Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
"You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
"A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
"I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."***
Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.
