Summary
"When Nico was told he had to spend six months indoors, he could barely keep the smirk off his face. Six months? He’d probably had naps longer than that, and it was just a more concrete excuse to not leave his dorm each time Jason insisted on going to a party."
In which Nico gets put on house arrest, and Will gets an interesting new neighbour.

Summary
Running, swimming, football, dance - at least in a state of sweat he wasn’t an idiot with an uninhabitable flat, dead-end job, and second hand collection of friends who probably only saw him as a co-worker. In the race, Regulus was only his adrenaline.
After spending the summer with the Rosiers, newly independent Regulus takes on London - alone, broke, and with a questionably decorated flat. Things are reasonable. And then Regulus gets a job at Fortescues.

Really poetic and straight up hilariously dry writing, this one crept up on me

Summary
Regulus Black died at seventeen, or so everybody believed.
Five years later, he’s dragged back into the world and dropped into the corpse of Hogsmeade.
The war is over. Voldemort won. What remains is something worse than war: a regime fed by fear where magic is rationed, and former students are trapped in a nightmare that never ends.
Some are enemies. Some are almost friends. Some are lovers. But all of them are prisoners of the same brutal, blood-greased system.
This is not a story of war, but a study of its aftermath—of old grief buried beneath years of lies, of truths traded like coin, of love growing like weeds through the cracks of a fractured world.
In this new world, loyalties are tested, sanity is threadbare, but the rules are cruelly simple: kill, obey, or disappear.

This is the most INSANELY well written fic holy shit. The writing itself is stunning, and the depth of the story backed up by extensive research and lore and mythology is honestly breathtaking. This is an absolute diamond.

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.

This is one of the most special and unique Jegulus or even HP fics I’ve ever read. It’s beautifully written, and I love love loved Reg in the muggle world and his new found family, it was so perfect. All the parts about his fear of magic and losing control, and James being the ‘broken’ one from having gone through the war, such an interesting angle to look at their relationship from, and his and Sirius’ too. This one is a real standout, it’s exceptional

Summary
At twenty-one years old, the concept of having children feels like a far away dream to Sirius. He’s too preoccupied with finishing university, struggling to pay rent, and loving on his delicious boyfriend, Remus Lupin, to think about settling down. He doesn’t even know how he’ll afford dinner next week, let alone feed an extra mouth.
Then his parents die, and he learns he has a tiny baby sibling in the NICU who needs him. Suddenly, all he can think about is being a parent. Good thing his parents left him everything in their will, including their exorbitant wealth.
But Sirius knows better than most that it takes more than money to be a good parent.
And he will be a good father. His baby deserves nothing less.

Summary
On a cold winter’s night, Regulus seeks out his brother in the hopes of reconciliation. In his naivety, he falls victim to a cleverly orchestrated trick by Severus Snape, who is seeking revenge on Sirius for a nasty prank he pulled.
Now, Regulus is trapped in the Shrieking Shack with a fully transformed werewolf and no chance of escape.
Fear is an old friend of his and yet he hardly has a chance to truly feel it, not while the overgrown wolf is too busy making a nest to keep Regulus warm and licking away his tears.
[or, Regulus deserves better, Moony agrees wholeheartedly, and Sirius is trying his best]
