I Present To You: Jily

Hc: Regulus and Remus always joke about leaving their boyfriends for each other and every single time James and Sirius genuinely lose their shit

The Marauders meeting as a whole group for the in nearly twenty years right after Remus dies and there all having this heartfelt moment until Peter walks in across the room.

And instantly Sirius loses it. Wants to go up to him and fight him and Remus and James have to physically restrain him because he's saying "I'm already dead. The little rat can't kill me again."

And Peter obviously hears this. He kinda shrinks into himself because Sirius could hurt him even without magic, but that's not why he walks away. Not why he gets scared shitless.

No.

He walks away because of the second pair of grey eyes that stand next to James. He gets scared as he remembers the threats given to him by the youngest black brother.

"You betray them, Pettigrew, and I will kill you. I don't care that you're a pureblood, or that your a spy for us. He treats you like a brother, and if you throw that away It'll be your own life your ending."t

He treats you like a brother

At the time Peter assumed he was talking about James. But now, with the look Regulus is giving him from across the room, as Sirius thrashes against the arms of his best friends, he knows who he was truly talking about.

Sirius: Moony, if you had to describe me in one word, what would it be?

Remus: Annoying.

Sirius: Okay, rude. Try again.

Remus: Infuriating. Ridiculous

Sirius, pouting: Moony—

Remus, kissing the tip of his nose: Fine. Mine.

Sirius, immediately flustered: Oh.

look i am all for the james “christmas whore” potter and regulus “the grinch” black but what we are all forgetting is that the grinch actually loved christmas he just pretended he didn’t bc of his big sad heart

Regulus: I'm the most mysterious person in earth. Nobody truly knows me.

Later:

Regulus: I'm changing my password.

James: Snowdrop

Regulus: .... How did you-

James: come on, it's your second favourite flower, Reg. I know you.

Regulus: ...

Barty: ...

Sirius: ...

James: Try a planet

Regulus: *starts typing*

James, smugly: Mercury.

Everyone: ....

thinking about james guiding regulus through the halls to his classes because he’s reading while walking

“careful here, love. that’s the missing step. cmon, just hop over it a little.”

thinking about regulus trying to focus on his book but getting flustered by james’ arm around him so that he doesn’t smash into a wall

thinking about everyone thinking they’re dating but james is just thinking “okay, just guiding my best friends adorable, pretty, perfect little brother to his classes. no gay panic here, no sir.”

Remus fell first but Sirius fell harder. I don't know why, but I just know it.

Sirius drove motorcycles and James drove sports cars

me watching harry potter in public: “yeah, so those two characters actually have a pretty interesting backstory once you get into the lore of it all…”

watching harry potter alone: *beaten, bruised, tear stained eyes* “—AND NO ONE GOT HIM OUT OF PRISON FOR 12 YEARS. NO ONE EVER EVEN LOOKED FOR HIM. NO ONE EVEN TRIED.”
