So guess who finally finished their 85k canon-adjacent Jegulus fanfic?
It's a trick question, the answer is me obviously.
Anyway I uploaded the final chapter today and after more than a year of writing, it's done.
Thank you to everyone's support with this, I'm so grateful.
“Cannon Divergent”…?
Nah bitch, this is a “CANNON DIVORCE”
We’ll dismantle cannon with our bare hands, throw out the shitty plot holes & rebuild it way more gay! They can’t stop us!
Viva la revolución!
That awkward moment when someone you know in real life finds your online fanfiction.
Im.. Soft 🥺🥺🥺

"Regulus only changed because Voldemort hurt Kreacher whom he saw as his property."
Based on the information that we do have from Canon, this cannot be true. we know from Kreachers stories that Regulus was always nicer to him than most people, which means that he probably saw Kreacher as more than an object, maybe even a friend if he was willing to die instead of him. Either way, Regulus didn't just decide to go against everything he'd ever known just because his houself had gotten injured. This was probably the breaking point that led to his decision.
btw dating sucks as a concept.
"Saying Regulus is a more interesting character than Lily is misogyny"
First of all, I agree that there is a disproportion of content for male and female characters and that's a problem. However, preferring Regulus' character over Lily's and finding it more interesting isn't misogyny, but Personal opinion. Sure, some people might have this opinion because of misogyny but the majority don't.
"You can't like Regulus but hate Snape, because they were both death eaters."
Incorrect, because I don't dislike Snape for joining the Death Eaters or even for the way he treated Lily when he was a child. I dislike him because of the way he treated children as an adult and a teacher. His blatant bullying of Neville and Hermione is why I donr like him. If I read a fic where he becomes less of a shitty person, I do find myself liking his character, but in terms of Canon, disliking Snape isn't outrageous.
"Jegulus is misogynistic because Lily is sidelined in the story as a result of the ship."
I dont think that's misogyny because if it's a JEGULUS story, and she isn't the main character, why would her story be prioritised. Once again, if you want to see more Lily content or any female character, why dont you start by making some yourself. Personally, if I want a specific fanfic but I can't find one like it, I WRITE IT MYSELF. Complaining without doing anything to make a change is just annoying and unhelpful.
"Peter is being replaced by Regulus as a marauder."
No he's not, be so for real right now. In the majority of fics Regulus is left out/ignored by the marauders unless he and Sirius have a good relationship. And when they have a good relationship it makes sense for Regulus to be around his brother and the rest of the marauders, especially when Jegulus is happening. Peter being forgotten isn't a new thing, that has been an issue for years, so stop blaming it on the rise in Regulus popularity.
