Summary
That doesn’t mean that he hasn’t noticed the way his boyfriend’s eyes occasionally… wander to James, watching him. It would be easier to ignore if James didn’t watch him in the same exact way, and Sirius couldn't help but to wonder if James even realized that he watched Remus with the same sort of lovesick devotion that he normally directs towards Lily. And then there are his own complex and confusing feelings regarding his best friend, which he’d really rather not focus on right now, especially with the way James is staring at Remus with so much need that it makes his head spin.
Sirius and Remus are together. They both want James. They're pretty sure that James wants them too.

Summary
Sirius is imagining a billion things - James, bleeding and hurt. Someone in their living room. Whatever terrible things there could possibly be, they all run through his head so quickly one after another it's almost all at once.
What he does not expect…
Is Regulus. Regulus, bleeding and hurt, heaving and gasping with hands shaking against James' chest and arms, laid sideways against his chest as if --
As if it's familiar, really.
_______
Regulus shows up at the Potters' house bleeding and hurt, which reveals something about James' relationship with him to Sirius.
Sirius has a hard time accepting many things, from Regulus being here to him and James being a thing.
Horrible truths are discovered, and in the end, Sirius could never really let go of caring for Regulus, even when he tried so hard to.

Summary
“I don’t need to look into your eyes to know my brother is fucking dead,” Sirius shouted, and his face was so cold, a futile attempt at hiding his sadness. “You need to leave.”
“I have Regulus’ eyes, don’t you see?” Regulus asked — begged.
“They look…” James began, walking closer to them now. “They look like his, Sirius.”
“They look like a Black’s eyes,” Sirius spat.
James shook his head. “Regulus had these little black flecks at the corners that always reminded me of a constellation… These are the same, Sirius.”
Or
When Regulus is reincarnated, the first thing on his bucket list is to make his way back to the two most important people in his life. For answers and for love.
Thanks to Jade for all of her hard work helping me to beta this 🖤

Summary
contrapasso [con · tra · pas · so]
the punishment of souls by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.The first time they meet is in Copenhagen.
Regulus is on holiday, halfway to drunk off his ass in a dingy back alley pub. He’s never believed in love at first sight—in fact, he thinks it’s a rather ridiculous concept—but the first time he catches sight of him across alcohol-sticky floors and air thick with smoke, Regulus might be persuaded to change his mind.
