I’m Not Saying We Need More James Or Lily Slander.

Things Regulus would call James

Jamie (everyone does)

Lover (As I said before, James calls him love)

My king (he’s the king of Gryffindor)

Bumble bee or bee (James reminded Reg of spring so he called him spring related things -also James has bee vibes)

Sun (James insisted on giving him a star name so obviously he’s gonna give him the sun. Bright, warm, etc.)

Four eyes (he couldn’t resist)

Also broom boy (just as affectionate)

Reg never used any of these in front of other people except for ‘Jamie.’ He found nicknames super personal and didn’t think everyone should know about them.

James knew how Reg felt about nicknames. He felt so special to be called anything by him. His face lit up even when Reg called him four eyes.

I feel like James and Regulus would both be really into anime for two very different reasons that I could not explain.

Actually, now that I’m really thinking about it, can someone please write a one shot like this because I feel like it would be really cute.

Like, imagine them forcing the other to watch their favorites (because they have very different tastes in anime obv).

I really don’t know anything about anime but I just feel like this is correct.

Tw: murder (but in a fun way)

Ok, if I’m being fr with you guys, I gotta tell you that I would love to read Lily murdering Regulus so she could be with James.

I’ve seen Regulus kill Lily, I’ve seen Barty kill Regulus,

I need this. And I don’t even like Jily.

I think we can all agree it’s time for some psychopath Lily.

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

angel, why me? / jegulus

a/n: i’m so sorry this is horrifying it’s a mess

word count : 3136

warnings : indication of abuse/violence , indication of sex, cheating

Things James would call Regulus:

Little king

Lionheart

Little star (NOT to be confused with bright star who is Sirius)

Love (Reg calls him lover)

Gumdrop (because it annoys the FUCK out of him)

Lucy (let me explain. Everyone calls him Reg so he decided to call him the end of his name instead of the beginning but ‘lus’ was weird so he said Lucy)

Broom boy (affectionate)

James calls him lots of things but these are the most used.

James even called him shawty once and Reg only spoke to him in French until he promised not to do it again.

NEVERMIND I FOUND IT THANK YUO FOR TRYING TO HELP ME I LOVE YOU ALL ITS ‘definition of insanity’ by bizzarestars

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

“jegulus would never work in canon because james wouldn’t do something like that to sirius”

and why exactly james’ character is about sirius?

My thoughts EXACTLY. The perfect post.

I believe that the reason why so many people like Regulus Black is because he is a blank slate. like we barely know anything about him other than the fact that he was a seeker, Sirius’s younger brother, a death eater at age sixteen, in a good relationship with a house elf and died around the age of seventeen or eighteen. another thing is that writing him is so interesting because of his circumstances, like boy grew up in a blood supremacist household, had Sirius Black as his older brother, Walburga Black and Orion Black as parents, was friends with Kreacher. There are just so many possibilities on what kind of person he could have been. He could have been a blood purist until he realized that muggle-borns are just as good at magic as purebloods. Or he didn’t believe his parent from the start but kept quiet because someone had to keep the peace in this shit hole of a house and it sure as hell wasn’t Sirius or Walburga. he could have been a very nice boy and a goody-two-shoes who tried to please everyone. or he could have been a ruthless young man who was tired at the unfairness of the world, bitter towards his older brother who left him to rot with his crazy mother and distant father. he could have been an animagus. knew Remus was a werewolf. friends with halfbloods or even muggleborns. maybe he was bisexual or demisexual or asexual. he could have been in love with James Potter. best friends with Barty. there are just so many headcanons and possibilities with Regulus because he is a blank canvas for us waiting to be brought to life and we can project ourselves on him and mold him to our liking and hoe we see fit. and this is why I think regulus is such an interesting character even though we know so little about him.
