Summary
There is something both thrilling and intimate about watching someone when they think no one is around, seeing how they behave in the vacuum of other people’s perception.
Regulus momentarily sheds his poise when he wrestles with the ancient lock, tote bags precariously balanced on his shoulders and neat curls just beginning to frizz and frazzle in the humidity. He mutters something James is too far away to hear, but it is most certainly a curse.
It’s oddly endearing.
Or
James Potter offers to check on his best friend’s long-missing brother and gets a little too invested.

Summary
In December 1977, Regulus Black did something brave. He ran.
With nothing but a wand he couldn’t use, a bag of money, and a desperate hope for survival, Regulus escaped into the muggle world mere days before his Death Eater initiation.
Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.
***
Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.

Summary
“Everything will be different now.” She continues. “Starting today...more will be expected of you than ever before. And you can not fail me–fail your family. Do you understand?”
“Yes, mother.” Because of course he does. Regulus understands what today means. He knows that he will never get a moment to be truly and completely alone again. That is why he had slipped away to the music room instead of attending breakfast. It was his last moment of peace. His goodbye to his old life in which he could enjoy his solitude. Because after today, all eyes would be on him and his family. After today, he would never be allowed to wander anywhere without supervision. Not even in his own home. Because today is the day he becomes a prince.
~~~
King Riddle has declared the Noble House of Black as his heirs to the Pureblood Throne among a viper pit of power hungry, envious nobles. Regulus and Sirius struggle to navigate life as royals where everyone they meet could want them dead, even those closest to them.

Summary
Let me tell you a ghost story.
It begins when James moves into a new apartment inhabited by the ghost of a sarcastic and French-speaking man with the grayest eyes he’s ever seen. The more time they spend together, the more James finds that he doesn’t mind being haunted that much.
Okay, maybe it's a love story, after all.

Summary
“I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”
“James,” he says.
“James.” Regulus repeats his name like he’s rolling a sweet on his tongue until he reaches the sour core and grimaces. “Why would you think it’s okay to strike up a conversation with a stranger on the Metro? That’s, like, really weird.”
***
James takes the train into D.C. for school everyday, but three times a week he has the privilege of sitting across from the prettiest boy he’s ever seen, and getting his number is much more important than any unwritten rule of public transportation.
