Summary
Regulus is a young writer with a burning hunger to be great. He walks the empty halls of Grimmauld Place, the memory of a brother long gone on his heels. He's looking for anything to feed his inspiration—a muse. James is his teacher, new to the area, and stagnant in his life.
It's meant to be a game. It's not a game anymore.

Summary
All James wants is to get back at Lily, his on-again-off-again girlfriend. Maybe his best friend’s brother and his sworn enemy isn’t the right choice for that.
All Regulus wants is to win his family home from Narcissa in a battle of inheritance. James Potter is the key to doing that. So what if he uses James? Regulus is being used as well.
A dare, a debt, a family feud, and a few fistfights later, someone falls in love. Everything falls apart.
Still, it turns out the love they seek can be found in the strangest of places.
“You're doing what wrong?”
“…Life. Is this how it should be, blacking out every weekend, sleeping around recklessly? Coasting by from one numbing minute to the next?”
Smoke spilled from Barty’s mouth, and he looked over at Regulus, his eyes unreadable. “People like us don’t have the privilege of doing it another way, do we?”
Regulus paused at that. “Who are people like us?” he asked, his voice faint.
“Damaged, fucked up people. We didn’t grow up normal. We don’t get to be normal now.”

Summary
Regulus Black watched James Potter die.
The war kept going anyway.
Regulus doesn’t believe in moving on—only in unfinished things. If time can be wounded the way people can, he’s willing to find the scar and pry it open—no matter what bleeds out with it.
Or: Regulus Black rewinds time, breaks the future, and tries to fix everything.

Summary
Each year, for the long hush of a month and more, Regulus vanishes into the sun.
Astronomers call it the solar conjunction. It happens because the star rests almost upon the ecliptic, the path the sun traces across the sky. In that inevitable crossing, sunlight overwhelms its glow, and to us it seems as though regulus has disappeared.
But it never lasts. By the laws of celestial mechanics, this phenomenon is only a hush of brilliance, before the star rises once more to tear open the dawn.
