James X Regulus - Blog Posts
Sirius: his first word would be "padfoot"
Regulus: I hope not
James: I hope his first word is "dad"
Regulus: or "papa". He loves me more
James: Harry loves us equally, doesn't he? :(
Regulus: Jamie, I meant-
Sirius: *laughs* of course not. He loves me more than you
Remus: *walks into the room and bangs his head on the ceiling* fuck
Harry: fuck
Regulus:
James:
Sirius:
Remus: oh
"I'm just saying, if I was you I would not care so much. Your literally rich!" Barty argued, looking around the table trying to get someone else to agree with him.
Regulus rolled his eyes. "Your rich too. And, you know how my parents are about grades."
"I only try hard to prove my dad wrong and you know-"
"REGGIE!!!" A small voice - a child's voice? - cut of barty and before Regulus could even register what was happening, a small child was climbing onto the bench beside him.
"Reggie!" The kid jumped onto regulus lap and hugged him. Regulus looked down into the familiar eyes.
"James!?" James. His James. James Potter. But...five. he was five years old. No. That's not right. His James, his Jamie, he was seventeen. This James was small and he had chubby legs and his checks were rounds and he was 12 years younger than he should be.
"Regulus what the fuck?" Evan looked between his friend, the toddler and the rest of the Slytherin table, who were all looking at the pair.
"I...I umm" Regulus picked up his boyfriend... oh no that's weird. And ran out of the hall, through the corridors and to the slytherin common room. He muttered the password and slipped inside, ignoring the weird looks he got from the few people who weren't at lunch in the common room and went straight upstairs.
"It's scawy in 'ere." James mumbled when Regulus sat him down on the bed, looking around the room.
Regulus stopped pacing and crouched down infront of the boy, giving him a gentle smile. "I know, baby but I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." And that seemed to calm him a bit.
Regulus climbed onto the bed and crossed his legs, James climbed and sat between them, giggling when regulus played with his curls.
"Jamie? What happened?" Regulus asked, James turned round in his lap so he was looking up at him with those big brown eyes.
"Potion went boom!" He exclaimed, giggling and throwing his arms in the air, almost hotting regulus and he couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, the dorm door flew open and Barty, Evan, Pandora and Dorcas all stepped in, stopping at the door and watching the interaction.
"So it's true then? Potters a toddler." Dorcas laughed. She hadn't been at lunch she's been 'studying'. She walked over and sat on the bed, ruffling James curls which made him stick his tongue out at her. "He's still at the same maturity level then."
James eyebrows furrowed. "What that mean?"
They laughed.
"Hopefully it won't last long." Pandora commented, resting her head on regulus shoulder.
"How the fuck did that happen?"
"Potion went boom apparently." Regulus shrugged.
Reblogging this so I can find it again cause this...AHHH IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Day 17- dancing. Jegulus, marylily, raising harry, 1110 words.
James has always had a very idealised version of love in his mind stemming from years of watching the way his parents love each other so infinitely and unconditionally. He had always held in the back of his mind that he wouldn’t find love like that, trying to keep his hopes down, but it often failed and he found himself dreaming and praying for a love similar to theirs.
He had sort of given up, after many failed dates and episodes of pining over this one boy who didn’t even know he existed, he was ready to stop believing in love, his parents must be the exception that proves the rule.
Then the boy he was pining overlooked back, meeting his eyes and James knew then the love was real and as pure and unending as he had hoped it would be, he had fallen in love with Regulus Black and it was, in his opinion, even more loving than his parents relationship. When Lily and Mary had come to them with a proposition, James had been overjoyed. Having and raising a child with two of their best friends? Getting to raise a kid with the love of his life, he went to agree but Regulus beat him to it, they were all ready to expand their family.
They had a beautiful boy with pitch-black hair that matched both of his fathers with little curls that matched one of his mothers and deep green eyes that looked so much like Lily’s it was unbelievable. James hadn’t even held his son yet and was prepared to move the heavens and the earth to make him happy. He was fulfilled, happy and overflowing with love, and he just hoped he could make his son feel the same way.
Harry grew up quicker than they can even believe, the months speeding past. The four of them all lived together, not wanting to separate Harry from any of them while he was so young, and supporting each other with the long nights and time-consuming cleaning. He was two now, waddling around and babbling away at any chance he got, and James was filled with overwhelming joy and happiness just existing in the same space.
Now, he doesn’t know if everyone has this, but James has a favourite memory from his childhood. He was five and woke up in the night, he isn’t sure why, but he could hear music drifting up the stairs, so he crept out of bed standing on his tiptoes to keep the noise down and made his way halfway down the stairs.
From this position he had the perfect view into the living room, he had sat down on the step, holding onto the railing with both hands. He looked into the living room and there by the tree, his parents were dancing in the candlelight. His father was spinning his mother around while she laughed brightly, so carefree and happy that it had made James smile just watching them. They swayed gently while the music quietened and he snuck back upstairs to give them some peace and quiet.
He never told them he saw them dancing that night, and he never saw them again, but every time he heard some music drift up to his room he smiled, it was something that had always stuck with him.
So every the same soft music he had heard for the first time years ago came through the speakers, he pulled Regulus up, interlinking their hands and waltzed him around their living room.
“James,” Regulus laughed while James hummed along to the music, “Are we going to dance to this song every time?”
“Can this be the song we have for our first dance?” James asks but he already knows the answer, Regulus loves this little tradition as much as he does. Regulus nods his affirmation and James kisses him, slowing their dance slightly as he loses focus. “Planning to marry me one day then?” Regulus asks with a cheeky grin.
“Yep, afraid you’re stuck with me forever now,” Regulus hums after James answers and acts like he’s thinking about it before smiling softly up at James
“I guess there are worse ways to spend my time,” James laughs, leaning their foreheads together while they dance. There's a moment or two of silence before the door creaks open and they look around to see Mary poking her head around the door,
“Room for two more?” James nods in response and the two women enter the room, smiling to their friends. The next song starts, slower than the one before and the four of them talk quietly and laugh, sharing this moment of beauty.
The sound of giggling comes from the top of the stairs that have a view into the living room where Lily had left the door open. At the top of the stairs Harry peers through the bars of his baby-gate, bouncing up and down and laughing. James rushes up to collect their son, carrying him down the stairs to join them.
Harry’s in his pyjamas, having been put to bed hours previously, a green onesie with golden snitches that Regulus bought to influence Harry into taking after him, and he’s clutching one of his teddies, a small teddy blanket that she snuggles his face into. James does a little spin as he brings them into the living room and Harry smiles so hard his eyes start to scrunch up.
Regulus joins them, placing a hand on James' arm and using the other to brush over Harry’s hair, placing a gentle kiss on the top of his head. Harry’s mother come over, Mary pinching Harry’s cheeks and cooing at him while Lily tickles him gently to get him to laugh, he wriggles in James’ grip and he has to readjust so he doesn’t jump to the floor.
With Harry huddled between his parents, James moves him slowly in time to the music, Regulus and Lily each grabbing one of his hands to act like they are dancing along with him, Mary stands opposite swaying in time with Harry, who laughs and giggles, his cheek pressed into his shoulder to keep his teddy there. His eyes are drooping, but he desperately tries to fight the calling of sleep.
He’s unsuccessful, but he falls asleep surrounded by complete and total adoration wrapping around him like a warm blanket. James carries him back up the stairs and tucks him into his bed, carefully removing his glasses to place on the table.
Harry will likely not remember tonight when he’s older, but James will make sure this isn’t the last time he experiences this.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I NEED THIS AS A FULL, LONGER THAT THE BIBLE, FLUFFY FANFIC
jamie pushes her hair away from her face. it's always messy, she can't control it. not that she wants to. it's always concealed by her hat anyway. she's sat at a red light, bike between her legs. she's gotta get to sirius' flat, sirius wants her to meet her younger sister. so she's biking across town. it's warm out, good day for biking.
the light switches and she starts biking again, flying down the street and watching all the cars go by. she doesn't see the girl she nearly crashes into. "watch it!" the girl shouts, flipping them off. jamie brakes and swings around to look at her. bloody hell, is she pretty. she's got a long white skirt and oversized band tee. sirius has one exactly like that. their hair's curly and hangs loosely to their shoulders, held back by headphones. their tote bag has the words 'i didn't really fall. i just sauntered vaguely downwards' printed on it. so pretty.
"sorry!" she yells over. "sorry, i didn't see you!"
"are you blind?" the stranger snaps. they're heading the same way. jamie just smiles at their yelling, feeling a warm blush on their face. "why are you smiling?"
"i smile a lot."
"right. and you're smiling when i'm yelling at you because-"
"yell at me more."
"bloody psychotic," the stranger passes them, walking up ahead. jamie starts biking beside them. "following me, are you?"
"well, i'm going the same way as you. sorry for nearly killing you. what's your name?"
"as if i'd tell the strange girl who just nearly killed me."
"i'm jamie."
"potter?"
"yeah! that's my last name! how'd you know?"
"i'm regina."
"you're sirius' sister?"
"yes."
"oh my god. you're pretty."
"excuse me?"
"sirius said they're prettier than you. i don't think that's true." regina purses her lips. "well, regina-"
"reggie."
"hm?"
"call me reggie."
"James looks into the angel's eyes and knows the angel means the promise and isn't being a sneaky little liar. James smiles, pleased. "I'm going to keep you." "
And
""I have to tell you a joke," James says, and the angel blinks at him, then arches an eyebrow. "I need you to laugh."
"James—"
"What did the big flower say to the little flower?"
The angel glances over at the best friend, and the best friend is stifling laughter, and then the angel focuses on James again. The angel indulges him. "I don't know. What did the big flower say to the little flower?"
"Hey there, bud," James tells him, and the mother laughs, and the father laughs, and the best friend laughs, but the angel does not laugh. No, the angel only reaches up to grab his hand, gently pressing a smile to his knuckles. It's a small smile. Lips of an angel. Sweet. James wants to put his mouth on it, and stick his fingers in it, but he's also sad because the angel didn't laugh. "You were supposed to laugh. I told a flower joke. It was funny, and you like flowers.""
High James is just fabulous and I love it he's so cute

Remus always knows...
James rambling about who he's falling for, and everyone thinks it's Lily until he slips up and says "he" and Regulus, who had been desperately ignoring it looks up at him. Just in time to see James go crimson and run away
"-just so fucking perfect, you know?"
James Potter's voice carried through the stacks of the library as Regulus paused, listening intently from his now-hiding space, staring at the words on his open book but not taking in a single syllable.
"I just...I feel like I'm invisible. Like no matter what I do, I'll never be worthy. Like, why is it the one person I fancy just thinks nothing of me, Moony? Like...just looks right through me?"
Regulus snorted a bit, unable to hear Remus Lupin's much quieter response. Of course Potter was still waxing poetic about Evans. of course he couldn't let her go. Of course.
"I know, but I just- there's nobody more amazing! So...smart, and...and gorgeous!"
More murmuring, then some shuffling as Potter and Lupin sat at a table nearby, now within Regulus's line of sight. He stared more intensely at his book, still listening closely.
"No, I...Moony, it's not just a crush. I can't even describe how I feel. Like, whenever we look at each other...I'm just...I just feel better, you know? Like I'm like light or something. It's so stupid and cheesy, I know, but I just..."
Potter's voice trailed off and Regulus chanced a glance up to see the taller boy also looking at him. Feeling himself go red all over, he quickly looked back at his book, feigning indifference.
But then Potter continued, his voice airy and distracted, as if he was almost drunk.
"Merlin, he's just so beautiful."
And at that, Regulus' couldn't help but glance's eyes snapped back up to meet James's. Because the words seemed to come from James's mouth quite without his permission. And both of them seemed to realize at the same time that James had said 'he.'
And then, before Regulus could react, James turned bright red and stuttered something about Quidditch practice before running off, leaving Regulus to stare incredulously at Remus.
"....Well. He's clearly not talking about Lily," Remus grinned, smirking at Regulus and walking away.
Omg this was such a good idea thank you for letting me write it! Keep sending ideas guys! Love you all!
Why is Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi so Regulus after James left regulus cause he got the dark mark coded. Like...
"I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me"
Cause James used to save him!! From himself!!!
"This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy"
Put all his trust in James or have nothing of James at all (putting all his trust in him is allowing him to get him out)
"I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain"
Loving James pushed down the self hatred and James made him happy so it wasn't as painful
"And you're not here to get me through it all"
Cause he left so Regulus has to go thru the abuse and Voldemort himself
"I let my guard down"
He began to truly trust and love James on for his heart to be broken
"I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to"
He doesn't have anyone left cause his only friends that he didn't betray are also death eaters
"I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape"
Escape his family and the expectations
"And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes I fall into your arms I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around"
James is one of the only few people he has ever felt comfortable with. James is a comfort for him that can calm him down and remind him he's worthy of love.
"I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved"
He finally allowed himself to accept James's love and begin to reciprocate it then it was taken from him.
No one can deny this and I will take no criticism on this topic
Sirius: I'm all for you dating my brother but he's a bit... you know, mean?
James: he's not!
*Regulus when talking to anyone*
Regulus: I literally don't care.
Regulus: Do you think before you speak?
*Regulus talking to James*
Regulus: i love you, mi Amour.
Regulus*sings james to sleep after he has a panic attack*: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away"
James: I’m doing a great job keeping my crush a secret
Regulus: *smiles*
James: I have to gay— I mean go
Regulus : *hands and face covered in blood, exhausted, gaze piercing, angry, about to murder someone.*
James Potter : OK, hear me out.
down bad regulus x down bad james is the only way jegulus works btw
even if they started as friends with benefits, james brought a ring the first week they started their little rendezvous. and regulus left his toothbrush in james' flat so anyone that goes there would think he lives there too, he also started to look for houses close to the sea for them.
they confess their feelings on their native language all the time and pretend they just said some random bullshit .
james told effie and monty about regulus instantly. regulus did to narcissa as well.
they both have a wedding planned.
they are so down bad for each other but it still takes them ages to get together
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
regulus has the most in depth curly hair routine ever known to man. he uses fancy shampoo that he imports from france and everything.
james uses grocery store shampoo and his curls are held together by sheer force of will.
reg will never not be angry that james has softer hair than him.
“what kind of things did you do?”
and it’s regulus listing all the horrible things he’s done since getting the mark to killing the dark lord
“only my husband knew that / so i guess that makes him you”
and it’s james still accepting him despite despite despite because he did it to keep them safe and made his way back to him in the end
james thinks he's too mcuh and regulus thinks he's not enough thank you and goodnight
jegulus gives such “i can do it myself” bf x “i know you can but let me help you” bf energy
Remus: What's it like dating Regulus?
James: Once, I asked for water while he was pissed at me, and he brought me a glass full of ice and said "wait".
James: I love him.
hear me out. both james and sirius like when a very attractive person is mean to them (without ruining them psychologically), but they react very different about it.
james take it as a task, a mission, to make this person like him, to make the person crack their mask just a little bit so he can see how they actually feel about him, or even make them be even meaner just for the sake of it.
but sirius tries to convince himself that he hates the person as well, so they will be enemys for a while until both can't deny anymore and just go for it, and sirius has to admit himself "damn that's not what I was planning"
i literally didn’t find him attractive until the regulus fancast but omg
so this happened—
he knows. he knows. ✨he knows✨.
goddddddd i just LOVVEEEE when slytherins in any harry potter pairing fic BOND. like we were so starved of any good and decent scenes of the slytherins in the book and movies where they just. exist. and that's all they do. like no talks of voldemort or secretly practicing dark magic or spitting slurs at others. just the slytherins teasing each other with embarrassing things they came to learn about each other through out their 7 years together, mocking the way they would get a spell wrong, protecting each other from discrimination that comes with the label of their house, caring when someone gets hurt and JUST ABOUT HOW CLOSE THEY ALL ARE.
it doesn't even have to be romantic
like give me blaise, theo, and draco fucking each other up in snow ball fights. give me pansy and daphne dressing up for the ball, putting makeup on each other. give me marcus flint trying to handle the slytherin quidditch team because they're still kids and rebellious teenagers. give me draco sharing the sweets his mom sends to everyone in slytherin and asking his mom for more next time because crabbe and goyle gobbled up half of it. give me millicent and pansy talking about their dream man and weddings. give me draco helping pansy with her homework. give me the gang struggling to learn through their syllabus and staying up late at nights just talking to each other. just GIVE ME FAMILY-FRIENDLY SLYTHERINS
Trying to explain the lore and plot of my “short story” without giving away the fact it’s a jegulus fanfic
