save me weird fucked up love triangle + mutual ruination bartyevanreg…. if you can hear me weird fucked up love triangle + mutual ruination bartyevanreg—
Sirius: I don’t like that Crouch kid Regulus is hanging out with all the time…
James: He’s literally the minister’s son it’ll be fine. He can’t be that bad
Meanwhile in some alleyway in Hogsmeade:
Barty: Okay regulus now hold the flame under the spoon like this. Yeah I’m sure this is safe
My headcanon of Evan, is him being the type of person to ruin Regulus' relationships one by one, and have Barty kiss everything better. He's playing the long game.
It's him. It's Barty. And it's Regulus.
But Regulus is a flight risk. They all promised they'd be each other's forevers but Evan doesn't trust Regulus the way he trusts Barty. Regulus still wants Sirius back, James is lurking behind every corner trying to talk to him all the time. Regulus thinks he can commit but can't.
So Evan doesn't want to give him the chance to break their deal. He leaves no room for even the slightest possibility of it. Honestly, he doesn't know how he'll deal with a betrayal from Regulus. Just thinking about it makes him want to go out and get his knuckles bloody. Makes him want to hear the squelch of blood beneath his fists.
It's a sobering thought, realizing he might end up killing Regulus if he breaks his promise. Regulus the rabbit, always poised to run.
But he can't. He promised to keep Barty and Regulus safe. He fucking loves them. They're his.
Kill Regulus, and he loses Barty too.
So... He needs to cut off the loose ends in Regulus' life. Keep him away from his cunt of a brother. Have Barty soothe the ouchies and have him wipe away the tears. And he'll watch and decide what to do next.
It's a miracle Regulus is still who he is despite everything he's lost and been through. It's an impossibility made possible that he can look at them, broken, twisted people in his life — and smile and say, "Come here, let me hold you."
It makes him sick that they walk right into his arms like lost dogs. But Regulus walked into their arms as well. He chose them. He's theirs as much as they belong to him. There's no walking away.
**I write them nasty ♥️. Here, have some more.
bartylus where both of them are terrified of fucking up their friendship because they are ridiculously codependent and like isn’t this enough?? is basically living in each other’s skin not enough?? so they are just pathetically pining for ages until finally someone cracks (barty. barty cracks.) over the dumbest fucking thing like regulus is wearing a new ring and he touches barty’s neck and the cool feeling of the metal on his nape just drives him absolutely insane he’s like “i’m gonna to kms if i don’t do something this fucking instant”
Pili: Nooooo, my only ally... I'm so sad
Aimsey: He's like totes dead, man.
Pili: Now me and Pangi are gonna be alone, together, just the two of us, no more Bad, just the two of us... This is so sad....
Aimsey: [...] Okay... Anyway...
stay with me
Pangi: "I'm still really proud of you, no matter the outcome of this."
Pili: "You are?"
Pangi: "I always will be."
Evan is dominant in that he needs you to know you are below him, if you fight him too much he’ll just leave. He believes he is above everyone with no hesitance or doubt and you will learn to agree if you’re going to spend any time close to him. Whether it’s sexual or romantic or platonic or even professional, you will learn. He’s not like regulus or Barty, he can’t bend himself backwards towards a facade of weakness for the sake of a safe place for vulnerability, he doesn’t have vulnerability.
Regulus is dominant in that he needs to control every aspect of your life or he will kill himself. You don’t have to know that he controls your life but you do have to conform to it and you do have to be happy about it. He truly believes his love for someone means he has a claim over them. (It’s one of the many traits and beliefs he inherited directly from Orion.) He’s not like Evan where he needs to own you, but you need to need him.
Barty is dominant in that he needs you in arms reach at all times and if you try to run he will chase you until you either put him down or he puts you down. He doesn’t want to control you, he doesn’t want you to need him, he needs you to want to stay. He’s not like regulus where he needs you to submit to him, he needs you to choose him every time without wavering. No matter what he puts you through, what you put him through, you will be forever if you stay.
