After his death, Regulus is forced to watch as James grieves him and moves on. Alternately: Five times James Potter couldn't love Lily Evans and one time he did. "It wasn't Lily that initiated the kiss. It was never Lily. She always gave James the space and time he needed to heal. Never pushing his boundaries or taking advantage, and Regulus loved her for that. If anyone was to claim the heart of James Potter, it would be Lily...and Regulus found himself weirdly okay with that."
