Summary
A few weeks ago, Regulus Black jumped off a bridge. It's not that he really wanted to die, but he didn't really want to live either. He didn't think anyone would care one way or another, if he's honest. Now he's stuck learning how to live.
James Potter was used to seeing Reg every day at the cafe he worked in, until one day he stopped coming in. When he finally sees the guy he's been crushing on come back into the cafe, he knew he had to take his chance at asking him out on a date.
***This fic deals with heavy themes of depression, lack of a will to live, and suicide, but will have a happy ending***

Summary
It’s been months since disaster struck inside the Black Family home—since everything fell apart.
Now, Regulus is on his way to, what he can confidently say is a “disaster in the making”; one, that even he believes won’t last. After the last several homes collapsing, he’s just about given up on finding, what his social worker likes to call “his forever home”.
But, at some point, he starts to believe, finding his “forever home” doesn’t quite exist. Can you even blame him?
With secrets in tow, he enters his most recent permanent placement—the Potters. Whilst he tries to navigate a new school, an unfamiliar family, and his guilt—Regulus struggles to keep his guard up. Can he trust this new family and the fragile connections he’s starting to form, or will the ghosts of his past ruin everything once again?
This is a Modern Marauders Era, High School, Foster Care AU.

Summary
What makes a family?
Is it the blood you share? The name you carry? Or is it something less tangible—something felt rather than seen?
For Sirius and Regulus Black, the answer has never been simple. Each of them has their own idea of what family means, though neither could explain it easily—not until much later. Because figuring it out… that took time. And pain. And lots of learning.
The truth is, what makes a family looks different to everyone.
For the Potters, it’s love.
Love that is steadfast, freely given, and never earned. A kind of love that opens its doors to broken boys and whispers, You belong here.But love isn’t always easy—especially when the person you’re trying to love doesn’t know how to accept it. When trust has been shattered too many times, and hope feels dangerous.
Still, through every argument, every silence, every small step forward, love remains.
And somewhere along the way, Sirius and Regulus begin to ask themselves the question they never dared to before:
When did I first feel loved?
When did I finally believe I was?- Words:
