Summary
Regulus Black never really held much hope for himself. He always knew he was a lost cause. He grew up being called the spare, a weakling, lonely and miserable. So really, it came as a shock to no one when Walburga and Orion Black pulled him out of Hogwarts during his third year and shipped him off to France. The change wasn't easy, and Regulus wasn't thrilled at the idea. Two years later, the first of September marked the end of his stint in France as began his fifth year. He'd left a miserable boy and come back even more broken.
James Potter had everything he could have asked for. A perfect family, an amazing group of friends, the captain of the Quidditch team, effortlessly smart, and good looking. He was the staple golden boy of the golden house. He had nothing to be upset about. Sure, sometimes the pressure got to him and he crumbled into it, slamming his fists into the wall until he saw his knuckles bleed. Sure, he got angry sometimes, enough anger to make him wake up at four in the morning and go out for runs until six so he doesn't tear the entire dorm room apart.
Or,
Regulus gets sent to school in France and comes back to Hogwarts in his fifth year with even more issues than he left!Bookmarked by Runae

Summary
James and Sirius save a boy who is on the run from Death-Eaters. They find out too late that the boy they saved is none other than Sirius' Death-Eater younger brother, Regulus Black, who is not acting quite like himself; broken, mute, and desperate.
With his history, the Order believes it's a manipulative performance. The truth is much more complicated than they all know, and also much simpler: he just needs his big brother again.

Summary
They’re young. They’re reckless. They’re burning out too fast.
A-levels should mean futures, exams, and the promise of growing up. For the marauders and co, it means cigarettes in the morning, weed after classes, and nights lost to parties that blur into dawn. They fall in love like it’s a dare, break each other apart just to feel alive, and orbit each other like stars doomed to collapse.
James is the golden boy, hiding grief behind a smile.
Regulus is the beautiful ruin, chasing oblivion.
Remus is quiet, watching Sirius set the world on fire.
And Sirius? He’s the one pulling all the strings — until it all unravels.
For the others? Well, they are caught in the crossfire.
This is a story of youth, love, and tragedy — where the brightest stars always burn out first.Basically, marauders x skins alternate universe
UPDATE: as of 02/06/2026, I have come to the decision that this work will stay incomplete. This is due to not having motivation for this fic in months, and personal stuff in my life. However, I am in the process of planning another fic. Thankyou all for the support on this fics journey, and I apologise to everyone who enjoyed reading.

Summary
Regulus follows James with his eyes. He examines the unruly brown hair, the red t-shirt clearly a size too small—stretching over his chest and arms—and the grey sweats that are more wrinkled than the aged skin of Bellatrix’s neck. He watches as James grabs a ginger beer from the fridge, pops it open, and takes a long drink, noting how his Adam’s apple bobs beneath the stretch of his throat and how his golden brown skin looks underneath the kitchen light.
Regulus waits for him to look back.
He doesn’t.
OR:
Regulus transfers universities to be with Sirius after their parents die. James is a complete asshole about it. He has his reasons.
