It’s not my favorite truth, but it is one and I respect that.
Do it. Wanna know why? BECAUSE YOU CAN
How would you all feel if I did a Wolfstar/Marauders through Hogwarts story? Kinda like “All the Young Dudes” except not as good XD, no one can beat all the young dudes MsKingBean89 is a literal genius. But how would you guys feel about that?
Rest In Peace Reggie Black. You would’ve loved the Song of Achillies😔
Tw: mentioned child abuse
In almost every fic I read, Sirius and the marauders deny Regulus ever being abused (usually in fics where Reg is emotionally abused and/or manipulated)
But I want one where Reg denies they ever did anything wrong and Sirius is always trying to convince him other wise.
Sirius tries to be gentle with him but Reg never listens. One day during an argument in the halls, Reg tells Sirius that if he just stopped fighting, their parents wouldn’t punish him.
Sirius is just so tired of hearing it that he says, « oh really? Then why do you flinch when someone moves too fast? Why do you look for an exit when you enter a room? Why do you bite your nails so often? Why can you tell who’s walking just by the sound of their footsteps? Why do you shut down minutes at a time? Just because your scars aren’t on the outside doesn’t mean they’re not there. You are just as fucked up as I am. So don’t stand there and tell me that being perfect would change anything because you are living proof that it wouldn’t. »
Regulus felt so exposed. He didn’t think anybody could see it. But with Sirius’ and his own friends looking anywhere but at the two, he understood that they all knew about both of their abuse. It’s the first time Regulus says to his brother, « I hate you. »
He walks away from the crowded hall and cries in a hidden room in the dungeons for hours. Apparently, he hadn’t fooled anybody with his act. His friends just didn’t care.
Sirius felt terrible for saying it how he did. In front if a crowd of people, in the form of an insult, and insinuating that his own scars were visible. He wanted Regulus to admit it to himself before he heard anyone else say it out loud. He took a thousand steps back in helping his brother and proper communication was nowhere in sight.
James tends to forget. It’s not hard to when Sirius rarely talks about him, and when he does it’s hardly good.
Sirius is a trickster. A rebel. A Gryffindor. An untamable spirit. An amazing friend. A son to James’ parents. A lover to Remus. A soulmate to James.
Sirius is many things, but before everything; before all of this, he was a brother.
I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

Sirius: my brother and I get along really well
James: you- you just shoved him into the wall and called him stupid?
Sirius: . . . you clearly don’t understand sibling relationships
Tw- murder (but like, in a fun way)
The only reason I believe Jegulus couldn’t be canon is because James would be buried in a shallow grave after the breakup.
Regulus is that crazy bitch that would rather kill a man than have anyone find out he got dumped. There’s no moving on if there’s no James.
You might think I’m exaggerating but if you think about how easy it would be for Regulus to get away with it you’ll see I’m right.
Sorry if you don’t like sad jegulus. I like it more when Reg survives and there’s awkward jegulily moments.
My jegulus breakup:
Regulus gets the mark. He knows that he has to break up with James now, he can’t keep telling himself he deserves to be with him.
James is confused, they were doing just fine. Sure, Reg had been distant for a few weeks but his kisses carried the same passion as before. Was he the problem? Was he not good enough?(Let’s be real here James would blame himself) James demands to know why but Reg just keeps telling him they can’t be together. “I thought you loved me. What happened?” James asks through his tears.
Reg freezes. Of course he loved him, how could you not love James Potter? The problem is that he didn’t want James to love the waste of space he is.
He is desperate to have James’ love. It’s the only love that didn’t take more than he could give.
He needs James’ love. Craves it. Done what he could to be worth it.
But he doesn’t want it. It hurts too much. It hurts having to disappoint another person who means everything to him. It hurts having to show him the mark. To watch his face change. To see his eyes fill with betrayal. To have him straighten his stance and walk away.
Regulus can’t let James leave not knowing. “I do love you”.
James looks at him for a moment and says “I guess it just wasn’t enough, was it?” That’s the last thing he says to Regulus.
He wished James never loved him. But he wished more than anything that James never got to have his heart broken by someone as worthless as him.
James never once thought that. Regulus was ethereal. He was burned into the back of his eyelids and carved into his skin. There was nothing in James’ life that didn’t trace back to Regulus. He was simply, unforgettable.
Priceless.
Which is why it hurt so much more watching Regulus go down the path he thought he would be able to save him from.
I love the 'Jegulus is doomed and Jily is meant to be' thingy because they act like Jily isn't doomed too.
Jegulus is doomed in the way that they die but if they lived they could make it work and Jily is doomed in the way that they are not compatible in the long run, they just happened to die before they could break up.
Idk if people do this anymore but I need help finding a fic that I read like a month ago. It’s a jegulus fic where Regulus doesn’t have a car so Sirius has James drive him to work. James says he’s straight but him and Reg have this flirty lil relationship. One night James comes to Reg drunk and they canoodle but James is gone in the morning I think?? I’m a lil fuzzy on that detail. After that Reg starts dating Kingsley because he’s not gonna fuck with a straight boy again. Then Kingsley moves away and they break up and then Reg and James get together. Also Sirius and Remus fell in love doing porn together and that’s their little side story
The fic was like three chapters but the word count was probably around 10,000-40,000, I can’t imagine it being longer than that.
I loved it and it was fun but now I can’t find it so SOMEBODY ANYBODY HELP ME PLEASE
