Insanity Laughs Under Pressure (We’re Breaking) by rebelrebelstar

Summary
Regulus Black never really held much hope for himself. He always knew he was a lost cause. He grew up being called the spare, a weakling, lonely and miserable. So really, it came as a shock to no one when Walburga and Orion Black pulled him out of Hogwarts during his third year and shipped him off to France. The change wasn't easy, and Regulus wasn't thrilled at the idea. Two years later, the first of September marked the end of his stint in France as began his fifth year. He'd left a miserable boy and come back even more broken.
James Potter had everything he could have asked for. A perfect family, an amazing group of friends, the captain of the Quidditch team, effortlessly smart, and good looking. He was the staple golden boy of the golden house. He had nothing to be upset about. Sure, sometimes the pressure got to him and he crumbled into it, slamming his fists into the wall until he saw his knuckles bleed. Sure, he got angry sometimes, enough anger to make him wake up at four in the morning and go out for runs until six so he doesn't tear the entire dorm room apart.
Or,
Regulus gets sent to school in France and comes back to Hogwarts in his fifth year with even more issues than he left!Bookmarked by Runae

Summary
James and Sirius save a boy who is on the run from Death-Eaters. They find out too late that the boy they saved is none other than Sirius' Death-Eater younger brother, Regulus Black, who is not acting quite like himself; broken, mute, and desperate.
With his history, the Order believes it's a manipulative performance. The truth is much more complicated than they all know, and also much simpler: he just needs his big brother again.

Summary
They’re young. They’re reckless. They’re burning out too fast.
A-levels should mean futures, exams, and the promise of growing up. For the marauders and co, it means cigarettes in the morning, weed after classes, and nights lost to parties that blur into dawn. They fall in love like it’s a dare, break each other apart just to feel alive, and orbit each other like stars doomed to collapse.
James is the golden boy, hiding grief behind a smile.
Regulus is the beautiful ruin, chasing oblivion.
Remus is quiet, watching Sirius set the world on fire.
And Sirius? He’s the one pulling all the strings — until it all unravels.
For the others? Well, they are caught in the crossfire.
This is a story of youth, love, and tragedy — where the brightest stars always burn out first.Basically, marauders x skins alternate universe
UPDATE: as of 02/06/2026, I have come to the decision that this work will stay incomplete. This is due to not having motivation for this fic in months, and personal stuff in my life. However, I am in the process of planning another fic. Thankyou all for the support on this fics journey, and I apologise to everyone who enjoyed reading.

Summary
Regulus follows James with his eyes. He examines the unruly brown hair, the red t-shirt clearly a size too small—stretching over his chest and arms—and the grey sweats that are more wrinkled than the aged skin of Bellatrix’s neck. He watches as James grabs a ginger beer from the fridge, pops it open, and takes a long drink, noting how his Adam’s apple bobs beneath the stretch of his throat and how his golden brown skin looks underneath the kitchen light.
Regulus waits for him to look back.
He doesn’t.
OR:
Regulus transfers universities to be with Sirius after their parents die. James is a complete asshole about it. He has his reasons.

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
Draco Lucius Malfoy had imagined a great many futures for himself after the war.
For years, he had imagined Azkaban. A cell. A lifetime spent paying for choices he had made too young and too afraid to fully understand.
He had imagined exile. Being cast out of wizarding society entirely. Stripped of his wand. Left to exist, half-alive, in the Muggle world like a punishment that never quite ended.
He had never, not once, imagined that he might spend the final months of the year, the very same year the Dark Lord was killed... smoking weed with Harry Potter.
Regularly.

Summary
In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.
In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.
In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.
These events are not connected.
But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

Summary
Regulus Black has two obsessions.
1) Hating his older brother’s best friend, James Potter. Has Regulus met the man before now? No. But he has deemed James Potter his mortal enemy since he was ten years old.
2) A certain voice actor by the pseudonym Jay, who makes “spicy” audios.
Regulus has always known the universe to have a sick sense of humour but he didn’t know it was this cruel. He’d recognize that voice anywhere. To Regulus’s shock and abject horror, James Potter is Jay, there’s no doubt about it.

Summary
3 days irrevocably changed the trajectory of Regulus Black’s life. 3 separate days and 3 interconnected events invariably altered his destiny and his very character as a wizard. For in Regulus’s life, decisions of the utmost gravity and mere coincidences of chance alike intertwined to sew his fate.
The first was the day his brother left for Hogwarts, the day that daft hat decided Sirius Black would align himself with blood traitors and Gryffindors rather than his own family. The second was the day Sirius left their home, the day he abandoned his blood and his name for the illusion of safety with the Potters. The day, for all intents and purposes, he was meant to abandon Regulus as well. The third day, well the third day had yet to pass, but Regulus had an inkling that troublesome Potter would be a hand weaving those particular stars of prophecy.
-or-
What if the Potters didn't just save Sirius this time?

Summary
Regulus Black was twelve years old when his older brother, Sirius Black, disappeared into the night, leaving him behind. He was thirteen years old when he presented as an Omega much to disdain of his parents who now had no real heir.
Regulus Black was sixteen years old when his parents died, strong winds and high waves pulling their ship down to the depths of the ocean, leaving Regulus nothing more but an orphan. He was seventeen when he was promised to King Riddle, a man known for his cruelty and brutality.
Regulus thought his life was over, knowing he won't live to see another year go by, but strange set of coincidences lead King James to his rescue... Whether it was luck, destiny, or simply the refusal of someone to abandon Regulus again, he would soon learn that his story was only just beginning.

Summary
Regulus is in search of change, for something to fill the ever growing void in his chest that has been inside him for as long as he can remember. He leaves Paris and his ballet company behind to move back to London, where his friends, his old company and his brother are waiting for him. He tries to fill the void with all sorts of unhealthy things, but something—rather someone keeps trying to get in the way.
James is happy with his life, he’s good at his job, he loves his friends, he has a nice flat, so why isn’t that enough? Why is the smile that he’s had plastered across his face all his life starting to feel forced? He’s met head on by a force of nature, a storm in the form of a mean, stubborn and ridiculously pretty ballet dancer and he starts to realise what he’s been missing all this time.
OR
Regulus is a ballet dancer & James is a simp!

Summary
“Am I dead?” he asked, because he should be dead. He should be at the bottom of that lake, drowning under the bodies of decomposing inferi, but—
“Calm down, Black, you only fell off your broom."
—instead he was two years in the past. Alive. And with a whole new mess to deal with.
or; it's back to time travel, baby!

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

Summary
In December 1977, Regulus Black did something brave. He ran.
With nothing but a wand he couldn’t use, a bag of money, and a desperate hope for survival, Regulus escaped into the muggle world mere days before his Death Eater initiation.
Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.
***
Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.
