Summary
Regulus has owed his life to James Potter ever since he carried him out of the cave.
Seven years later, James comes back to collect on his debt, disrupting the quiet existence Regulus has carved out for himself.
All of a sudden, he’s hounding his every step, determined to become Regulus’ friend even as he coughs up petals tinged with blood.
And Regulus might just let him. Because this time, it’s his turn to save James.***
“Your concern is touching.”
“Yes. It’s what I’m known for. Serving Dark Lords and being concerned about my fellow Wizards,” Regulus snorts.
“And for being a mean Potions teacher,” James replies blandly, not rising to the bait.
“I can be quite mean, yes.”Bookmarked by Paintspatter

Summary
As an Auror, James Potter is no stranger to split-second decisions.
Five years ago, he made the wrong one and hurt the person who mattered more to him than he realized.
Now, the consequences come to haunt him in the form of Regulus Black, an international Quidditch superstar returning home after his successful stint in the US.
When Regulus receives several death threats, James gets assigned as his protective detail, stuck guarding the life of a man who hates his guts. Because one thing is clear: Regulus hasn’t forgiven him. Not one bit. And he’ll go to incredible lengths to make his job as difficult as possible, including but not limited to slipping out without alerting James, strutting around half-naked, and parading a string of hook-ups under his nose.
As a consummate professional, James is determined to leave their past behind and focus on the task. He’ll keep Regulus alive, no matter how hard he’s trying to push his buttons. No matter how much James wants to push Regulus against the wall and kiss the brattiness right out of him.
When the Supernova collides with the Sun, it triggers an explosion.
And in the aftermath, nobody is safe.Bookmarked by Paintspatter

Summary
One night Sirius and Remus were caught kissing by Regulus. The next morning it was all over the school. James, unable to accept the betrayal of Sirius' own brother forcibly outing his best friend, seeks revenge by planning to do the same to Regulus.
Only it doesn't go as planned (read: James unbiddenly falls in love).
Only things aren't quite as they seem. In the end the one who bears the brunt of it all, undeservingly as it turns out, is Regulus.
