Evan who is quiet around everyone BUT Barty
Barty who is loud around everyone BUT Evan
Evan gets to talk without fear of being annoying or talked over, and Barty gets to sit and listen without feeling the need to be the center of attention.
They both are enough for the other
regulus discussing with james about coming out as trans to sirius
sirius overhearing "what if he freaks out james?" "he won't love, he'll be supportive" "this will change everything" "stop worrying, he's your brother, he'll understand" and thinking regulus is pregnant.
also him noticing regulus wearing looser clothes and freaking the fuck out because he is not ready to be an uncle!!!
every fic after tcoptp feels like whiplash tcoptp was the slowest of all slowburns and now im like literallt what the heck when the characters know eachothers names by chapter 1
everyone lowkey judging jegulus’ relationship bc james is a YAPPER and literally never shuts up and it seems like reg can never actually get a word in
but behind closed doors regulus talks and talks and talks until he can’t possibly talk anymore and james just sits and smiles as he listens bc he ADORES to hear about anything and everything that regulus has to say
i love them sm someone sedate me
hope lupin would've loved james & sirius btw.
her sense of humour is being traumatised by a boggart in which she meets her future husband & proceeding to then have boggarts as her wedding cake topper.
she litr would've loved them. she writes to sirius when he gets disowned & he writes back that he was just following in the steps of his role model (her). james tells her about his very clever idea of remus' badly behaved rabbit & she's laughing for days.
Evan and Barty don’t just match each other’s freak. They increase it.
They just get 10x crazier when they’re together and there’s nothing Regulus can do about it.

As soon as James walked into his flat, he got the odd sense he should leave. The very air was thick with anger, and he knew it could only mean one thing. Turning to tiptoe quietly back out the door, he managed to make it all the way to the entrance before-
"James!"
Fuck.
"Will you tell your fiancé what a traitor he is?" Sirius screeched, standing in the door of the kitchen with his arms crossed and looking furious.
Before James could ask why, another, equally scary voice replied from within the room.
"James, will you tell your best friend he's an idiot?" Regulus called, voice full of both annoyance and amusement.
James considered calling Remus for help, but he knew it was too late. "What happened?" he asked wearily, shucking his jacket and walking into the warzone.
"Regulus told me I can't be his Best Man!" Sirius shrieked, throwing his hands in the air. "The audacity! I'm his only sibling and-"
"Because you're James's Best Man, you dumbarse!" Regulus interrupted, giving James a look that demanded he speak. "You can't be Best Man for both!"
"Why not? I damn well should be! I'm the most important person in both of your lives!" Sirius yelled, eyes wild.
James sighed, finally stepping in. "Regulus, did you tell Sirius what he would be doing instead of being your Best Man?" he asked the younger man gently, trying not to cause any more blow ups.
"No," Regulus grumbled. "He wouldn't let me." But he turned to Sirius and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself. "You're going to walk me down the aisle, Sirius. Give me away, and all that."
Immediately, Sirius's demeanor changed. His crossed arms fell to his sides and his furrowed eyebrows lifted as his eyes filled with tears. "Wh-what?" he asked, voice trembling.
"Oh, fuck, he's going to cr-" Regulus said fearfully, looking aghast and turning to get away from is brother.
But it was too late. Sirius pulled Regulus into a bear hug, sobbing hysterically. "I- l- lo- love y- you s- so m- mu-" he stuttered, tears streaming down his face and onto Regulus's expensive jumper.
"James, help!" Regulus hissed, looking like a trapped animal.
"Nah, love, that's all you," James grinned, turning to leave.
[James watching young Luna and Harry]
Harry, running in: Papa! Papa!
James: Yes?
Harry: Luna said the B word!
James:
Luna, also running in: Motherfucker doesn’t start with B, Harry!
evan likes to play with barty's hair—pulling strands of it upward. barty never fixes it after, which is why his hairstyle looks messy, sticking up in every direction. despite that, he doesn't mind because he still looks hot in it—he thinks he's evan's hot mess.
propaganda i'm not falling for:
straight remus lupin
the MCD tag on ao3
kittywater
lily evans hate
the marauders hated peter
dumb sirius black
halloween 1981
the new hbo tv show
james cheating on lily
straight marlene mckinnon
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.
