Summary
That doesn’t mean that he hasn’t noticed the way his boyfriend’s eyes occasionally… wander to James, watching him. It would be easier to ignore if James didn’t watch him in the same exact way, and Sirius couldn't help but to wonder if James even realized that he watched Remus with the same sort of lovesick devotion that he normally directs towards Lily. And then there are his own complex and confusing feelings regarding his best friend, which he’d really rather not focus on right now, especially with the way James is staring at Remus with so much need that it makes his head spin.
Sirius and Remus are together. They both want James. They're pretty sure that James wants them too.

Summary
Sirius is imagining a billion things - James, bleeding and hurt. Someone in their living room. Whatever terrible things there could possibly be, they all run through his head so quickly one after another it's almost all at once.
What he does not expect…
Is Regulus. Regulus, bleeding and hurt, heaving and gasping with hands shaking against James' chest and arms, laid sideways against his chest as if --
As if it's familiar, really.
_______
Regulus shows up at the Potters' house bleeding and hurt, which reveals something about James' relationship with him to Sirius.
Sirius has a hard time accepting many things, from Regulus being here to him and James being a thing.
Horrible truths are discovered, and in the end, Sirius could never really let go of caring for Regulus, even when he tried so hard to.

Summary
“I don’t need to look into your eyes to know my brother is fucking dead,” Sirius shouted, and his face was so cold, a futile attempt at hiding his sadness. “You need to leave.”
“I have Regulus’ eyes, don’t you see?” Regulus asked — begged.
“They look…” James began, walking closer to them now. “They look like his, Sirius.”
“They look like a Black’s eyes,” Sirius spat.
James shook his head. “Regulus had these little black flecks at the corners that always reminded me of a constellation… These are the same, Sirius.”
Or
When Regulus is reincarnated, the first thing on his bucket list is to make his way back to the two most important people in his life. For answers and for love.
Thanks to Jade for all of her hard work helping me to beta this 🖤

Summary
In Regulus’ experience, the dinner table is where everyone’s dark secrets come to light.
The dinner he organises for Remus’ birthday is no different.
Secrets, lies and betrayal all come out thanks to the intervention of an unknown figure, but who is really to blame for the dishonesty plaguing his family?

Summary
contrapasso [con · tra · pas · so]
the punishment of souls by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.The first time they meet is in Copenhagen.
Regulus is on holiday, halfway to drunk off his ass in a dingy back alley pub. He’s never believed in love at first sight—in fact, he thinks it’s a rather ridiculous concept—but the first time he catches sight of him across alcohol-sticky floors and air thick with smoke, Regulus might be persuaded to change his mind.

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
“Whatever, gorgeous. Just don’t forget about us lowlifes when you end up on the cover of Seeker Weekly.”
It’s only when Regulus’ eyes widen, spluttering in response to James, that James even realises what he said.
Oh…no.
What’s worse is he doesn’t even regret it. Not when Regulus is blushing furiously like he is right now, because all James can feel is an odd sense of pride that he was the cause of that adorable pink flush now high on Regulus’ cheeks.

A Black Mass Over Highway Ninety by greenvlvetcouch (mpr3g)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Tags
Summary
Remus loves Sirius, and Sirius loves Remus.
That’s just the way it is—call it a law of the universe or just the way the world works—but after four years away, Remus gets a call from Sirius asking him if he remembers a promise they made freshman year.
And, of course, Remus remembers. How could he not?
Something like a love story from the summer of 1978, full of Southern Cuts and Old Style, shitty motel rooms, and questionable decisions. Poor excuse for poetry and late night dancing, a trip to Vegas, and one too many honeymoon suites.
Cherry pop rocks, too-tight pants, and a road trip across the U.S.

Summary
Sadie had blinked at him, stunned, and then scrambled to sign the contract. Flexible hours, two free meals per shift, decent insurance, and paying slightly above minimum wage? It had been everything a struggling student like her could hope for, and then some.
Now, faced with the prospect of having to tell her boss that she’s screwing up on her very first shift, Sadie wishes she was anywhere but here, though. Still, she steels herself, takes a deep breath, and knocks on Mr Hargrove’s office door.
A moment later, a gruff voice calls back, “Come in.”
[Billy and Steve, older but none the wiser, through a stranger's eyes.]

Summary
That's when Tommy realized he was, like, the worst fucking friend ever. Because Steve was an omega and they had learned in health class that omegas craved physical contact. And Steve, a secret male omega with shitty absentee parents, wasn’t getting any love at home and he couldn't exactly reach out and ask his buddies for some cuddles. No one but Tommy knew about him and Tommy sure as shit hadn't been offering to hold his hand.
So now here Steve was, getting a goddamn contact high because he was squished in between Davey Bower, who smelled like ball sweat and Cheetos, and Andrew Floyd, who looked like a fucking toe. But Steve was too blissed out on, like, happy omega hormones to care about that, and Tommy was the shittiest best friend in Hawkins.
Goddammit. Tommy was going to have to start giving Steve hugs. He was going to have to give him so many goddamn fucking hugs.
When Steve presents as a rare male omega he is forced to hide his status and question his worldview; he learns to be less shallow, more caring, and more open-minded. Tommy Hagan stays loyal to his best friend and is dragged kicking and screaming into being a better person too.
Just a little bit, though. Like, maybe 10% better.

Summary
“Is that, uh, a good idea?” Billy asks, clearing his throat. It’s not like he wants to go back to Neil’s, but Steve is an unmated omega. Having an alpha like Billy around wouldn’t be the best for his reputation.
The doctor looks like he wants to laugh. “I’m pretty sure Mr. Harrington can handle himself,” He says, “He’s the one who volunteered.”
AKA Billy stays with Steve while recovering from Starcourt and end up finding a home, a pack, and maybe a boyfriend?

Softness, Steve Harrington, and Other Unattainable Things by fayfayfay

Summary
Male omegas are rare, both honored and objectified for their fertility and hermaphroditism. When Steve Harrington takes a few days off and emerges as a fully fledged male omega, students and teachers alike are surprised he hasn’t been secreted away to a convent or boarding school specifically for his kind. No one knows what to think of him... except for Eddie Munson.
Years later, Eddie has channeled his creative energy - as well as his heartbreak at Steve's sudden disappearance - into a dozen best selling novels. All the while, his literary agent, Robin, has kept hopeful eyes on the government registry of available omegas. One day, the notice springs from the ether: née Harrington, Steven.

Summary
But then by some sick twist of fate, Billy didn’t die. Getting stabbed all over by some giant mind-controlling monster didn’t do him in. Instead- according to Max- a bunch of people who apparently knew all about the so-called Mindflayer swooped in and brought him to a private military base where they saved Billy’s life.
They called it a miracle.
Billy called it penance.
Or
After surviving the mindflayer Billy stops talking.

Summary
When he makes it to the small clearing, quick footsteps come up behind him, and before he can turn around, someone tries to shove him. Astonishingly, his center of gravity is on his side and he plants his feet in time, holding his ground. Spinning around, he puts his fists up and freezes when he sees himself panting and angry with fists clenched to his sides.
“Woah, trippy,” Eddie remarks. Tommy dressed him poorly today—the absence of his battle vest is going to draw a lot of attention from his comrades.
“What the fuck did you do to me, freak?!”
“Tommy?” Eddie doublechecks, hopeful that their game of musical bodies is only between the two of them and not some other third party.
“Yes! Did you fucking curse me? What the shit is this?!”
-----
Eddie Munson and Tommy Hagan don't like each other and they don't have anything in common - or at least, that's what they think until one morning, they each wake up in the other's body.
