jokes on you i do care. someone write this. right now. that is a direct order and a threat
i’m aware this is my very personal niche and you won’t care BUT
Architect James who is known for being an engineer’s absolute NIGHTMARE because all his designs are planned from the aesthetics viewpoint not the construction one
Engineer Regulus who always found comfort in maths, and who loves a challenge so fine if nobody else at the company will work for this jackass he will- oh my GOD HE’S AN ACTUAL NIGHTMARE
“you need a column there”
“what? no that ruins the whole view”
“the ceiling caving in will ruin the view”
Incredibly rich (thanks Alphard) Artist Sirius that hires James to design an art gallery for him, also makes sure to pay james to lead the entirety of the construction so Sirius won’t need to be involved
ahem regulus not knowing he’s working for his estranged brother
also james and sirius having meetings, sirius who loves anything artistic adoring James’ designs, prongsfoot friendship my beloved
finaLLY James and Regulus find middle ground on a design james likes and regulus can actually confirm wont crumble to the ground, Sirius approves it and so starts the construction phase
contractor remus working w regulus and james on site, who is missing a construction worker. enter barty that wants to have a “humble” job just to piss off his politician dad. besides it’s a good workout reggie so how bad can it be?
supportive stay at home boyfriend Evan who, like Barty has enough money to not work but unlike Barty has no desire to sweat his day away, so he just visits from time to time to drop off baked goods for the crew (yes he bakes wonderful french pastries)
sirius absolutely will randomly visit the site bc he is bored and impatient, somehow always misses regulus but does meet remus. doesn’t mention the fact he is the owner of the building they’re working on and therefore his boss
food truck cook Peter who is friends with remus and always has him let him know what new project his crew is working on so he is always there on site for lunch time
meanwhile marketing genius Mary and graphic designer Marlene working w Sirius to promote the gallery. fellow artist lily getting mixed in bc her art will be displayed in the gallery too. photographer dorcas gets involved later on
most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone
“sirius would be the talker and remus would be the listener”
in public yes
in private, when remus was comfortable, he would talk to sirius for hours. about his books, or something he saw in the halls, or just anything, and sirius would sit there, just staring at the way remus smiles and how he talks with his hands, absolutely smitten
Remus is taller than Sirius.
James is taller than Regulus.
Evan in taller than Barty by barely five centimeters.
Rosekiller is the only one who cares about the height difference.
the hp fandom and the marauders fandom are two completely separate fandoms and i will die on this hill
i love the potter to james to jamie transition amen
AAAHHHH
Crimson rivers spoiler
I can’t with this lyrics of The Water is Fine
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed
Regulus drowned in blood in this story
Regulus drowned in water in canon
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed
Autistic Regulus Black who only wears certain clothes/textures, he has about 5 outfits that he cycles through, and in anything else he can quickly feel trapped
So, imagine James’ surprise when he finds Regulus curled up in one of his hoodies, looking perfectly comfortable
Marlene: So, what’s your type?
Dorcas: Blonde, brown eyes, dumb, funny
Marlene: That kinda sounds like me. Too bad I’m not a boy
Dorcas: Did I mention dumb?
Marlene: Yes
Dorcas: Okay, just making sure
i will defend that fictional teenage girl with my life. i literally don’t even care what she did. you would’ve done it too if you were her she’s probably handling things better than you would in her shoes
he wants that cookie soooo bad
