Summary
There’s a distinct sensation that coincides with coming back to reality. It’s much like being a child, counting the seconds as you hold your breath underwater; baiting your burning lungs, testing them before you’re forced to resurface. It’s not quite like drowning, but it’s also not dissimilar. The stubborn thing holding you down here is not the waves, it is your own conviction.
Regulus Black has always been stubborn. As much as he may deny it, it’s as ingrained in his bones as The Black Family Madness. As he grew up, he continued to test how long he could hold his breath for; how long he could slip under the surface of reality, existing only within himself.
-
There’s a quiet corner of the world, where the time moves slowly and the salt-water can wash you clean.
Here, Regulus Black comes back to reality.
For twelve years, Regulus builds a life on simple joys. The most notable of these comes in the form of a baby boy, a blue-eyed menace who bears a striking resemblance to the brother he tried to forget.
But you can’t hold your breath forever, the water will always come rushing in.
On his son’s eleventh birthday, fate leads an old acquaintance to his doorstep.

Summary
The Dark Lord is dead. The Order won.
Regulus Black, traitor and Voldemort’s favorite plaything, should be rotting in Azkaban—but his knowledge of the Horcruxes bought him a different fate: exile, invisibility, a life erased.
No wand. No name. No mercy.
And no one knows about the child.

Summary
James thought he wanted Lily—that had always made sense. But now that their relationship is over, he isn’t sure what the next step is, or why it feels like there’s an endless pit dragging him down, down, down.
The only thing keeping him afloat these days is, strangely enough, his best friend’s little brother. Well, Sirius will understand. If the only other option is James drowning—he’ll understand. Right?

Summary
So far, college has taught Stiles three things:
1) Eight am classes are cruel and unusual and should be avoided at all costs, even if it means having to enroll in something truly hideous instead, like Econ 101.
2) Dorm security is just as tight as Stiles’ orientation leader had promised it would be, and the dude guarding Scott’s dorm in particular does not respond well to bribes.
3) Mrs. McCall clearly had no clue what she was talking about when she’d insisted that Scott and Stiles needed to branch out and room with strangers, so it’s all her fault that Scott ended up with a total dick of a roommate and Stiles got stuck all the way across campus with some guy who has a girlfriend two towns over and is thus never around.
Or, the one where pledge brothers Stiles and Scott start a prank war with Derek Hale's fraternity.

Summary
“I don’t know what I believe anymore,” Regulus admits, voice barely audible. “I used to, and it was so much easier. There was one right path, one set of rules. Given to me by my mother, my church, my God. They all told me what to do, how to act, what to want.” He exhales, shaky. “Then my brother left and everything got muddled and… lonely.”
“That’s just life, love,” James says gently. “It gets quite muddled and lonely at times.”
“And how do I fix it?”
James chuckles. “If you find out, do let me know, yeah?”
Or
Regulus Black wants to have a normal university experience, which seems impossible as the son of controversial far-right politician Walburga Black, and only gets more complicated when James Potter enters his life.
