    Summary

    “That is the worst idea you’ve ever had,” Remus laughs as he places a wet plate in the drying rack next to the sink.
    “No, you just weren’t listening,” James frowns, leaning back in his dining chair, legs crossed under the small breakfast table in Remus and Sirius’s kitchen.
    “Oh, I was listening. You plan on marrying Regulus to prank Sirius. It wasn’t hard to understand what the idea is; it’s just stupid.”

    or; what happens when James and Regulus get fake married as a prank and Sirius retaliates by sending them to Mexico together for two weeks.

    Summary

    “Who are you?” Sirius asked, his gaze snapping back to the stranger – there’s no way his parents would willingly associate with someone like this, they always turned their nose up at anyone who wasn’t born into generational wealth. Even those with money that hadn’t been born into it they snubbed, though they seemed to tolerate marginally more.

    “Name’s Remus, I’m here to take you home.”

    Sirius runs away; Remus is paid to bring him home.

    Summary

    Complete! <3 (Edits made Feb 2024, bonus story added August 2024)

    The Black family and the Potter family grew-up spending their summers at neighboring lake houses a few hours off the East Coast. Then one summer, James Potter stopped coming. Regulus can admit he was a little disappointed when his first crush suddenly disappeared from his life. But it's been seven years. He's clearly over it.

    That is until his last summer before starting college, when that same golden-skinned boy steps out of the car, grown and beautiful, and crashes back into Regulus' world.

    Some works that inspired this fic:
    -The entire Lover album by Taylor Swift (Specifically Cruel Summer and Daylight)
    -The novel Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
    -The Summer I Turned Pretty Series
    -The song Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men

    Summary

    James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.

    One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.

    Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.

    And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.

    Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.

    Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.
