Summary
James’ eyes stop; along with the natural rhythm of his breathing and the beat of his heart. If he wasn’t still standing upright he’d think he died just from one glance at the lead singer.
He sings into the microphone, his eyes shut tight and his hands gripped to the stand as he belts.
It isn’t – it can’t be.
His eyes open, and like a compass pointing north, that hauntingly familiar grey lands right on James.'In a room full of people I look for you.'
~
“I wrote this next song about you. You know who you are.”
“I wrote every song about you.”
~Or. Three years ago, in a Paris nightclub, James sees Regulus dancing and falls for him on the spot. They agree to start a relationship, knowing it will have to end when James goes back to London, on the condition that afterwards they go completely no contact. By the time it ends they're both heartbroken but stick to their agreement and lose contact.
Years later they are still NOT over it and make it absolutely everyone else's problem.
Until James is invited by Sirius to watch his little brother's band and finds his ex stood at the microphone singing an album worth of songs about their month together in Paris.

Summary
“I’m heading out soon and I don’t want to disrupt your fantastic process, but here,” James places a small piece of paper in Regulus’ hand, pointedly locking eyes with him. “This is my number. You should text me sometime. If you want to.”
Regulus didn’t think it was possible for his brain to feel any more excitement right now, but somehow it is and he swears he’s on cloud nine right now. He just made a friend! At a party! He’s been grinning so hard these past few minutes his face kind of hurts but he can’t stop! There are so many good feelings rolling around inside of him that he doesn't even know if he can form words right now.
“Have a good night, Regulus.”
James steps back and gives him a wink before disappearing behind the kitchen door.
or
Regulus has a hard time opening up and letting new people in, but it's a new year and James Potter is now here to help him discover new things about himself and show him he's not hard to love after all.

Summary
When Regulus Black was 19 he broke up with James Potter because he thought he didn’t know how to love. When he was 20, his brother told him that James was having a kid. When he was 30, he was teaching potions at Hogwarts, which was going swell, until one day when Harry Potter (aka the carbon copy of the boy whose heart he shattered) strolls into the Great Hall and effectively sends Regulus into a full blown panic.

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.”
