I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

*Story involves Drarry (probably the only drarry I’ll ever post)

This has been floating in my head for a while:

So Regulus and James dated but then broke up and Jily happened.

Regulus doesn’t join the death eaters and they all survive the war.

So one night Harry wants his whole family to meet his new boyfriend. So James, Lily, Sirius, Regulus, and Remus are all in the living room when Harry comes home holding hands with Draco.

They all look at this emo slytherin boy who’s the son of Narcissa Malfoy née Black. Then they see this tan boy with crazy hair and the biggest smile. Sirius just bursts out laughing.

Harry doesn’t know why his dad and Regulus are staring at them in shock or why Sirius is dying laughing. He asks what’s wrong.

Sirius composes himself and just says, “Do you also happen to fancy a ginger?” Regulus kicks him out of the room for that comment.

That’s the night Harry found out his dad and Regulus used to date.

Jegulus song fic: Cornerstone by Arctic Monkeys

James using Reg because he looks like Sirius

Regulus knowing that he probably shouldn’t let James call him Sirius but he really doesn’t care

At the end of the day Reg gets James even if it’s just sex, James gets the closest thing to Sirius, and Sirius doesn’t know a thing lest he become traumatized by what his brother and his ex get up to.

People can say what they want about Jegulus but at least we can all agree it’s better than Drarry.

Too bad Drarry’s the one that has happy endings. 😐

Hot take: Jack was Rose’s manic pixie dream boy

I think Walburga liked Sirius more than Regulus. Sirius fought back. He was a leader, a protector. He was strong minded and passionate but also incredibly loyal to his friends. Walburga thought that if she could get Sirius to agree with her ideals, all of his characteristics would fall perfectly in place of Voldemort’s right hand man. He wouldn’t be just another DE, he would be in the inner circle. Walburga didn’t expect much from Regulus, so she didn’t care about him as much. Regulus was submissive and didn’t think for himself. She knew he would become a DE, so she didn’t pay attention to him. When Sirius left, Walburga was left with her spare. She was disappointed with not having a strong enough heir to be of more importance to Voldemort. Regulus was the disappointment in her eyes.

She was wrong about Regulus though. Regulus wasn’t submissive, he was strategic. He had his own opinions and ideals, he just never said them because he knew it wouldn’t get him anywhere. He knew how Sirius was treated and figured that speaking up for himself just wasn’t worth it. He became a DE because he wanted to. He felt awful about his brother hating him for it, but he agreed with the world he was told Voldemort wanted to create (I think he was manipulated into thinking Voldemort just wanted a peaceful world where everyone could be free).

When Regulus realized he’d been tricked, he didn’t want to be just another soldier on the light side like his brother, he wanted to take down Voldemort himself. (Little dramatic but love the enthusiasm) He sacrificed his life knowing that he would never get to say goodbye, never get to redeem himself in his brother’s eyes. It wasn’t expected nor welcome of him to do such a thing but he didn’t care. He did what he wanted, whether people knew it or not.

Rest In Peace Reggie Black. You would’ve loved the Song of Achillies😔

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.

Pt. 2 to my rockstar regulus hc

Sirius and the rest of the marauders start spreading rumors or telling really embarrassing stories of Regulus when he was younger.

They would tell anyone they met about Regulus being able to catch a pigeon with his bare hands and doing it on several occasions. How he once bodied a stranger after they said his earrings were gay. How he set a trash can on fire. How he’s actually bald and just wears a wig all the time.

Sirius even found a way to get an interview for a magazine as an “Account on the newest star Regulus Black from his very own brother”. He said the most insane things but with so much conviction they all believed him.

Things got so out of hand that when Reg was in the middle of an interview the interviewer asks, “it is true you were once so in love with your brothers best friend, you sent him a love letter a day for a month?”

Reg just sits there for a minute, fazed by this super random question. Then he looks directly into the camera and goes, “Sirius I’m gonna cut all your hair off” and walks out.

Sirius cackled when he saw it.

AU Fic idea

James and Reg dated. James broke up with Reg and started dating Lily (the break up was very much not mutual)

James is an actor playing Marius and Reg is the director for Les Mis.

Imagine Regulus explaining ‘On My Own’ to the actress playing Éponine, trying to open her up and get her emotional and shit. And James is just hearing everything he’s saying and realizing that that’s how he felt when they broke up.

He had to watch James love Lily openly. Listen to him practically write sonnets in the hallways for her. Every time Reg was hanging out with all of them after the breakup James would always steer the conversation towards Lily and Regulus just had to go along with it.

He watches Reg explain to the actress how Éponine knows that he doesn’t love her, but that won’t stop her from loving him. That she accepts her suffering because she can’t make him love her back. Reg explains it like he’s telling a personal story. James can see the actress start tearing up as she embraces the scene.

And it’s that ‘oh’ moment when James actually realizes what Regulus went through. That this is a personal story to him. He knows it wasn’t mutual but he didn’t realize how much Regulus hurt because of it.

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.
