Summary
Regulus wakes up in James Potter's bed with no memory of how he got there or why James was suddenly being so nice to him.
He soon finds out that's not the only thing that's wrong. Regulus is suddenly in a world where he was sorted into Gryffindor in his first year, him and Sirius never grew apart, James Potter claims that he is in love with him, and he is apparently one of the Marauders. He has no idea what's happening, but all he knows is that he needs to get back to his own life as soon as he can.
Or, Regulus somehow ends up in an alternate universe where he got sorted into Gryffindor, changing the course of his time at Hogwarts.
*Voldemort doesn't exist in either universes- this will have a happy ending

Summary
James felt as though his breath had been knocked out of him. There was something about him, something etched into every curve of his face and hidden deep in his eyes.

That was the only explanation.

Sirius Black is a local ceramicist and single parent with a backstory all his own, who happens to frequent the coffee shop Remus grew up studying in. Remus for the first time in his life didn't have a plan when he booked a one way plane ticket--except for maybe the plan to never fall in love again. Except...

Summary
Regulus stops and looks at James. “People have died before. When you’re in the middle of a task, Dumbledore may not have a say in whether someone dies or not.”
James stares at him. For a moment, Regulus thinks logic has finally permeated that thick skull of his. But then he breaks out into a smile. It warms Regulus’s insides while simultaneously burning his patience.
“You’re worried about me,” James declares.
Regulus nearly flinches back. “I am not!”
“You are!” James leans forward. “It’s cute.”
The Triwizard Tournament is reinstated during Regulus's fifth year at Hogwarts. He figured he had enough problems with Durmstrang's Headmaster and Crouch Sr hanging around, but then a fourth Champion is chosen from the Goblet of Fire.
Let the plotting, action, and romance ensue.

Summary
When he's seven years old, Sirius Black has a brief encounter with a strange boy in the woods, who, in their short exchange, teaches him an important lesson about the nature of the Universe, only to then disappear without a trace.
Nine years later, Sirius, along with his two best friends, is a student away at boarding school, with a brand new transfer student as his roommmate--a foul-mouthed, astronomy nerd named Remus Lupin.
Between school, hormones, relationships, and the fact that he is keeping a (magical) secret away from everyone--Sirius' year starts to go a little off the rails.
Not to mention, there's something familiar about that Remus Lupin kid that he just can't seem to shake...

Summary
James Potter was pretty sure he had it all figured out. His face was on billboards, shampoo and razor ads, and life was basically golden. Romance? Well, that part was a little slower, at least until a random text from an unknown number landed in his inbox. Regulus, definitely hadn’t meant to text him, he wasn’t exactly looking for anything except his class assigned work partner...
But one message turned into two, then ten, then late-night conversations and inside jokes. James wasn’t planning to fall for a stranger behind a screen... but then again, nothing about Regulus felt like a mistake.or,
[9:11 pm] Regulus
everyone smells like beer
and they were obsessed with this one Potter guy[9:12 pm] Jay
he's the star of the team, makes sense lol -

Summary
He wonders, briefly, about the ones before. The ones no one remembers. The ones who should be remembered. He wants to know their names. Because someone should know their names, no? That should be important.
or
The war was never about blood. Not really. It was about power, control, and who got to write the ending. And somehow everyone is writing it wrong.
James Potter was supposed to be a hero — but he’s playing politics with Death Eaters.
Regulus Black was supposed to die young — but he’s just manipulating everyone from the inside.
Evan Rosier was supposed to be a footnote — but he’s orchestrating scandals that will outlive them all.
Barty Crouch was supposed to be a villain, a cautionary tale.
But history has always been a liar.
or
People falling in love over letters. Time and time again.
