Summary
At the beginning of the Hogwarts 1977-1978 school year, James Potter finds a cat and Regulus Black finds a Horcrux.
These events are not unrelated.
What follows is a deal to their mutual benefit: James helps Regulus hone the finer details of advanced transfiguration, and in return, Regulus teaches James what he knows of occlumency and legilimency. James is pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoys their lessons, certainly more than he thought he would considering what (admittedly little) he knows of Sirius’s younger brother. Regulus, for his part, thought he was smart enough to know that anyone with as many secrets as him has no business teaching fucking mind reading to another person. Especially when that person is James Potter.
There is affection—the kind that only comes from meeting someone you never expected to understand you. And there is war—a looming thunderhead that neither of them wants to see consume the other.
The rest is a matter of secrets, family, and letting go.

Summary
Regulus Black doesn't know why looking in the mirror is so hard - he's sure he doesn't see what everyone else sees. All he knows is that when he looks, he hates the little girl who stares back at him.
***
The long account of a boy growing up trans in the wizarding world, in the 70's. There is love and light and colour and lack, thereof - there are things broken and then mended again, siblings lost and siblings found, and the most unexpected of friends.
(Temp hiatus as author battles mental and chronic illness. Patience is appreciated <3 )

Summary
Regulus, in his sixth year at Hogwarts, is already a Death Eater. James hates him, for that and for what he did to Sirius, and it's clear that Regulus feels the same way. Still, James can't help but seek him out. Just as an outlet for his anger, nothing more.
But what happens when Regulus realises he's on the wrong path? When he starts wanting to get out?
Well, James is stubborn. Nearly as stubborn as Sirius, when it comes to Regulus. They both refuse to give up.
A story of friendship, redemption, and kicking Voldemort's ass with the power of love.

Summary
When they were young, Sirius had always poked fun at Regulus' name for being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Naturally, Regulus strived to defy the odds of his namesake; but in a Gryffindor-esque, impulsive act of bravery, Regulus turned the tides of the Marauder's story. Sirius had been right, of course, and unbeknownst to any of them, their future now burns brighter than Regulus in the Leo constellation on a stary night.
Or, an alternate universe where Regulus makes a split-second decision to run away with Sirius and changes the course of everyone’s future.
