Summary
Regulus Black came to Puerto Rico for the peace and quiet - early morning swims, salty air, the kind of stillness that lets him feel like himself again. He did not come for some golden surfer boy with a loud laugh and a habit of tripping over his own feet. And yet… there’s James Potter.
James is in town for the summer with his best mate Sirius (who swears he and Regulus used to get along, somehow), but he’s a little too busy falling headfirst for the mysterious guy who always walks the beach like he’s part of the tide.
Cue the shared coconuts, flirty grins, and a lot of “accidental” touches. One’s got ocean water in his veins and poetry in his bones; the other can’t sit still, talks a mile a minute, and is suddenly very invested in beach walks at sunrise.
It’s slow, it’s soft, it’s the kind of summer that sneaks up on you - and before they know it, Regulus is learning how to surf (badly), James is learning how to shut up (also badly), and the both of them are falling in love under the Puerto Rican sun.

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
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.
