Summary
Complete <3
The Black Apothecary lies just on the border of Hogsmeade. Wizards and witches near and far come to stock their potions from Regulus’ shop. And business is good.
At the start of a new term, professors stop in for their needs, his brother and Remus included. But it’s an almost forgotten familiar face made new that makes today special, when a grown James Potter comes into the shop requesting something rather unusual. A potion to calm his heart and head. A request James would very much like to keep between the two of them. A business proposal. A secret.
As Regulus tries different iterations of the potion James requested, the two start to grow close through session after session of failed potions with strange effects. Regulus starts to fear the potion James needs is an impossible task, and that he will fail his new friend in his promise to help him.
Or, Regulus and James try a bunch of weird potions and fall in love in the process.

Summary
In 1977, to protect the next generation of witches and wizards, Hogwarts sends all of its students into protection programs around the world. Students are to live with new families and exist as muggles until it's safe to return home.
James Potter refused to be split from his closest mates, and convinced Sirius, Remus and Peter to all accept transfer to America. In a small rural town in a state called Oregon.
When they show up to their first day of classes, James puts on the show of his life. Faking shock and surprise, as Regulus Black and his two troublemaker friends walk through their same corridors. Because Sirius had no idea - that James also convinced Sirius’ younger brother to come to this sleepy American town.
Hiding their magic, trying to blend in, all while a war wages across the world, will be the hardest challenge of their young lives.
Or, an AU where the Marauders don’t have to fight in a war, just the horrors of American high school in the 70s.

Summary
Complete <3
"The need to protect Regulus from harm, from anything that would threaten him, has become a near obsession. James knows that he has a habit of single mindedness, latching on to things so tightly that they consume him. Of all of his unruly fixations, his protectiveness of Regulus has proven to be the worst."
Trilogy of Marauders era/Hogwarts AU after school (1975-1982), focused fully on James and Regulus POVs. Canon-divergent (adjacent if you squint), but the path to defeating Voldemort lies not in the prophecy but in Regulus' hands.
Book 1 (1975): Chapters 1-32
Book 2 (1976-1977): Chapters 33-72
Book 3 (1978-1980 epilogues 1982): Chapters 73-92Choices inspired - but I only write happy Jegulus endings, do with that what you will.

Summary
Complete! <3 (Edits made Feb 2024, bonus story added August 2024)
The Black family and the Potter family grew-up spending their summers at neighboring lake houses a few hours off the East Coast. Then one summer, James Potter stopped coming. Regulus can admit he was a little disappointed when his first crush suddenly disappeared from his life. But it's been seven years. He's clearly over it.
That is until his last summer before starting college, when that same golden-skinned boy steps out of the car, grown and beautiful, and crashes back into Regulus' world.
Some works that inspired this fic:
-The entire Lover album by Taylor Swift (Specifically Cruel Summer and Daylight)
-The novel Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
-The Summer I Turned Pretty Series
-The song Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men- Language:

Summary
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"
*
Remus falls in love with a painting by a mysterious artist while working at an art show. He also meets a beautiful, incredibly forward man at said show who changes his life forever. The two are definitely unrelated.
