and as a bonus a little closer look at those baby picture :)
Regulus laughs against his lips, low and mocking, nails scraping along James’s jaw. “Knew you’d come running the second I called.” James doesn’t answer, just fists a hand in Regulus’s shirt and pulls him closer, swallowing whatever cruel remark he was about to make. Because that’s what this is, isn’t it? They don’t talk. They take. They ruin. Because Regulus is a sickness James can’t shake, and James is the worst kind of addiction—one that feels good enough to make you ignore how much it’s destroying you.
james: you’re quiet.
regulus: i’m gatekeeping my personality from you.
it's just me and my gay fanfics against the world
a fluffy modern au domestic jegulus raising harry fic that's all sweet and nice but the last chapter ends with "but the lamp starts looking weird" and it ends with flashes of canon as regulus sinks further down into the murky water of the cave
trans regulus who thinks no one is taking him serious so he has to be a cold bitch all the time and put people in their place but imagine his surprise when he realizes james is actually taking him very serious. (after his friends) james makes him feel seen, he makes him feel confident because in james' eyes he is a boy no matter how much transphobia he gets to endure during a day.
james looks at him and sees nothing but a boy that is lethally beautiful and dangerous.
"Poor thing." (condescending) (flirting)
*The Balck brothers speaking French*
James: *Literally melts on the spot and finds it extremely hot*
Remus: Shut the fuck up, I don't speak croissant.
the bitches traumatized by saltburn would never survive the fics in my ao3 history
Yes, yes, yes, moonwater spends a lot of time in the library together and they’re literature nerds… but—
I want them to be smoke buddies too.
I already hc that Remus self medicates bc he HURTS bro. (The Poppy Patch, yada yada)
But Reg picked it up from Barty and he just loves a good smoke sometimes, ya know?
One night as they’re packing up to leave the library Remus makes a comment,
“Damn, I could really use a smoke,” he groans.
“You have a pack.” Regulus huffs, “I’m certainly not going to stop you.” He shrugs.
“No, different smoke. A muggle kind,” He mirrors the shrug.
“Oh, cannabis?” Regulus perks up (as much as he can) “Barty shares with me sometimes, I thought he was the only one who had that stuff.”
Remus eyes him skeptically before shouldering his bag. “I’ll share with you, how about we go to the astronomy tower and light up?”
From there it becomes routine.
After “book club” winds down, they migrate to the astronomy tower and smoke, passing back and forth until they’re sated.
It’s just what they need in order to relax and let things finally progress between the two of them.
Regulus loves shotgunning
(WHAT— who said that?)
i consistently think of canon reggie’s note to voldy, like he was cunty in canon and so we just made him more cunty.
