Summary
“Come here often?”
How stupid, is the first thing Regulus thinks, before he looks up and thinks, how beautiful. It’s unfair, really.
“Really? That’s the line you go with?” Regulus responds, making a show of putting his bookmark in his book and taking out one of his earbuds. James just interrupted him, not that there was any reading to interrupt.
James shrugs. “I’m out of practice, I guess. Is this spot taken?”
“That’s… that’s just sand.”
or
regulus being dragged along on a family vacation to babysit his cousin turns into a summer fling, reuniting with an estranged brother, and way too many steps out of his comfort zone.

Summary
For as long as he could remember, Regulus knew he was going to marry a prince.
It was sealed in his destiny, embroidered in the fairy tales the maid told him to make him sleep, so neatly sewed into his eyelids that he even dreamed of it at night. In his dreams, he was always glad and so giddy about it, up until the moment he grew up to have wants and needs and Regulus understood that there was no universe in which he could have wanted to do otherwise.
For as long as he could remember, James knew he was going to be king.
It was written in his blood, running through his veins as steely resolve. It was destiny chanted in royal hallways, whispered in his ears as both a promise and a warning. Since he had been able to think for himself, James had been pervaded by an ever present mindfulness of fate, manifesting in the way he talked and walked, rode his horse and wielded his spear. Lords, barons and dukes had called him heir to the throne before knowing his name, kneeled at his feet before he could know what it meant to rule. James looked in the mirror and saw a prince before he could ever recognise himself.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Summary
"Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
"You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
"A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
"I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."***
Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.- Language:

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

DISCLAIMER: I do not support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views.

People make mistakes, but they also make choices. It’s important to James, that difference. He does his best not to confuse the two.
