Summary
At the beginning of the Hogwarts 1977-1978 school year, James Potter finds a cat and Regulus Black finds a Horcrux.
These events are not unrelated.
What follows is a deal to their mutual benefit: James helps Regulus hone the finer details of advanced transfiguration, and in return, Regulus teaches James what he knows of occlumency and legilimency. James is pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoys their lessons, certainly more than he thought he would considering what (admittedly little) he knows of Sirius’s younger brother. Regulus, for his part, thought he was smart enough to know that anyone with as many secrets as him has no business teaching fucking mind reading to another person. Especially when that person is James Potter.
There is affection—the kind that only comes from meeting someone you never expected to understand you. And there is war—a looming thunderhead that neither of them wants to see consume the other.
The rest is a matter of secrets, family, and letting go.

Summary
“I’m sorry Paddy, I’m super super sorry.”
Flicking his wand once the broken glass vanished and he smiled down at Harry. “See, it’s super easy to fix. It’s okay, I’m not upset."
“Promise?”
“Promise, it’s just an accident.”
It’s just an accident.
How many times had he said the same thing when he was a kid? When did something like that become so small? When did he become safe?

Summary
Harry’s fingers pull at the hem of his shirt, “Well, I just wanted advice, I guess,” he murmurs.
James offers him a grin, “With the ladies?” he teases then pauses, “Or the lads?”
Harry groans, “Dad.” He’s silent a moment before he speaks again, “Well there is someone,” he glares, “Don’t get that excited. I don’t know what to do, we’re not… civil. If I tell him, what if it ruins my friendships?”
James hums, he knows Harry is talking about Draco Malfoy, there’s nobody else. James is about to speak before he feels himself thrown into the past, into memories he tried so deeply to bury, into the same question he asked himself on the daily back in his last year of Hogwarts, into his love for Regulus Black.

Summary
What if!
Regulus never went dark?
Sirius abandoned his family but never his brother?
James went out for an Auror mission on one eventful night and never faced the Dark Lord?
Lily fought Voldemort alone and the mother's love was enough to end a war?
(Or the one where James Potter is the single parent from "Your place or mine")
