Summary
Regulus Black is seven when he's sent to the Highlands. He's seven when he meets James Potter.
~~~
It's as Regulus tails his brother, the two boys winding like a serpent between shoppers and students and abandoned outdoor tables, that Sirius runs straight into James Potter's back. Startled, James Potter turns and steps aside, pulling Sirius along too and inquiring about his wellbeing. Regulus, of course, is running, and - being a sickly seven-year-old with very little experience sprinting around narrow icy streets - struggles to slow down. His legs are careening out of control. His foot catches on a loose cobblestone. Regulus is catapulted into the air and, bless his soul, lands upside down and head first in a particularly large snowdrift.
Regulus, being a sickly seven-year-old, wails for help. Sirius gives himself a stitch, he laughs so hard.
~~~Kiss the dust - to fall to the ground/ to fail
Kiss my ass - used to tell someone that you will not do what they want you to do
Eat my dust/ left in the dust - used when you're confident you are out-performing your opponent/ when your opponent is far ahead of you -

It's the SCC+T past timeline.

Think of them like twins, they're separate but also together
I do not support J. K. Rowling at all - the world and characters she wrote grew arms and legs and are now owned by the fans sorry not sorry <3

Summary
“Hurts,” Regulus repeated and tilted his head back on the couch, trying to catch a full breath. “I feel empty and I hate… I hate that you have to see me like that. It's not—It's not me.”
“I still think you're the loveliest.”
Leaning into James' touch, Regulus' eyes fluttered open. “You think I'm lovely?”✧ Or, when Regulus needed a home after a bad break-up, James jumped on the occasion.
Little did he know they would share everything soon enough. Everything, except... how long James had been in love. They have a system and it works, at least until Regulus forgets his suppressants.Bookmarked by Malaphorical_Oracle

Of the virtues traditionally expected from an omega bride— their sweet disposition, their fawning social graces— Evan Rosier possessed absolutely none, and he preferred to keep it that way.

Summary
Regulus Black doesn’t believe in second chances. He believes in silence, in control, and in pretending he’s perfectly fine. Then his brother’s engagement drags him to a sun-drenched Italian villa filled with old friends, too much wine, and one man he’s spent two years trying very hard not to think about.
James Potter once blurred every line that friendship was supposed to hold. Then he left, and Regulus taught himself how to live without him. Now, two years later, they are sitting across the table, laughing in the same sunlight that used to fall across Regulus’ sheets.
What follows is a series of late-night confessions, soft mornings, and the kind of ache that never really fades.

Summary
Regulus was raised to be perfect, obedient and desired. James was never supposed to want more.
But between secret glances and midnight meetings, something soft blooms. Right when duty threatens to tear it apart.
In a house built on legacy and silence, love was never part of the plan.
