Thorns Have Roses On Ao3

james potter is the fun dad.

regulus hates this. he wants to be fun too. but no, it’s james who harry runs too when he wants to laugh til he cries. it’s james who lets harry fly just a little higher than he should or buys him far too many toys when the toy chest is already overflowing. it’s james who harry goes to when he wants a sweet treat before dinner or to be swung upside down til his hair matches his fathers even more. james potter is the fun dad- not regulus.

but, what regulus takes far too long to see- is he is the safe dad. it’s regulus who harry’s little feet paddle over to when he scrapes his knee or bumps his head. it’s regulus who rocks and sings harry a lullaby before bed. it’s regulus side of the bed young harry crawls into after a night terror and he’s too frightened to sleep alone. oh yes- james potter is the fun dad, but regulus is the safe dad.

not to say harry has no fun with regulus or doesn’t feel safe with james. harry knows his dads love and adore him and both do that perfectly. but sometimes he just needs to have a laugh with james, or a cry with regulus.

and that’s okay.

James: would you still love me if I was transfigured into a worm :((

Reg: No.

~~sirius transfigures james into a worm as a prank on reg~~

Reg *sobbing and cradeling the worm gently*: turn him back turn him back please

James (as a worm): knew it ;)

after all that waiting, they hadn’t had very long at all, in the end.

James: *says something dumb*

Regulus: I swear to Merlin, you are so much like Sirius. Sometimes, I think im fucking my brother. Are you finally proud mother? Keeping up the family tradition.

James: I just wanted to know whether ice cream is a soup, not that you are the result of incest
