Evan And Barty Don’t Just Match Each Other’s Freak. They Increase It.

James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Snape:

“Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck; you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he’d killed you! You’d have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black — now get out of the way, or I will make you"

James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Lupin:

"No, I think you're like James," said Lupin, "who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends."

btw wolfstar dates consist of them making james come along & then james makes peter come along. wolfstar are rarely actually alone.

regulus: UGHHHH your hair is such a mess, potter, it looks like 20 birds chose to make their nests there

james: i can cut it

regulus:...

regulus: over my dead and rotten body.

Painful Bartylus to non toxic rosekiller my love

Painful bartylus where [pre emotional growth] Regulus was just excited someone liked him but Barty didn’t like Regulus he loved him

And Regulus didn’t love him back

Painful Bartylus where Reggie was not in the best mental space and couldn’t handle all of Barty’s Bartyness, told him he was too much, too loud, too weird even though Barty was trying so hard not to be

Painful Bartylus where the breakup wasn’t a big deal for Regulus because he figured neither of them were really that emotionally invested and they became friends again immediately but for Barty it was just a desperate attempt to keep Reg in his life

Then Evan Rosier who saw it all happen and couldn’t say anything because these were his two best friends but all he could think was how he could do it so much better, how he and Barty would be so good to each other

Evan Rosier who got the chance about a year later when he and Barty kissed on New Year’s Day and then proceeded to not stop kissing

Barty who was so terrified of losing Evan too and Evan finding it hard because he’s not good at emotions but in every way he can, showing Barty he loved him with hugs and handholds and playing with his hair and Evan’s lap becoming Barty’s new resting place

Evan figuring out he’s ace and worrying Barty won’t want him anymore

Barty saying I love you for the first time when Evan finally breaks down over it 

Evan not being able to say it back straight away and Barty not minding because he already knew from all the ways Evan showed him already

Evan finally saying it and Barty nearly bursting into tears because honestly he never thought in a million years he could ever be this happy

And because I’m on a roll w it

Regulus finally doing better when he starts dating James, Regulus who notices how it affects James when people call him weird or too much, Regulus who sees how different Barty is with Evan than he ever was with him

Regulus who REALISES.

Regulus who finally apologises.

Young regulus who had awful separation anxiety when it came to Sirius.

Cut to many of years later when Regulus has to call Harry, his boyfriend’s (of 2 years) 6 year old son, each night to tell him a bedtime story while on a business trip.

Sirius thinks this type of karma is hilarious

Marlene: You’re going to need to socialize.

Lily: What? No, I don't wanna do that.

Mary: You're going to have a great time, you might meet some new people.

Lily, burying her face in her book: No, no, no, no!

padfoot grabbing cat regulus by the scruff of his neck and forcefully bringing him to the gryffindor dorm because he's been avoiding james after a fight

"the black family madness" the books call it. "the consequences of inbreeding" is what it actually is

The people who compare Regulus to a star and James to the sun are correct, but consider: the sun IS a star. Regulus burns just as brightly as James does. You just have to get closer to him.
