Jegulus Early 2010s Au But Its James Changing His Facebook Status To Its Complicated After Making Eye

james and regulus always have their legs interwoven under the table when they eat or study together even if they are with other people btw

it’s the codependency

Fleamont and Euphemia moved to the UK as adults, so James grew up speaking mostly Punjabi at home, his parents never being particularly confident in their English skills and being much more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue.

So whilst he is fluent in English, occasionally he will forget a word or phrase and he will say it in Punjabi first. This happens a lot in first year especially, and again at the beginning of each school year as he adjusts after a summer barely speaking English.

The other marauders find this hilarious so over time it becomes a game for them where James will act out the word charades style for everyone to try to guess.

When Regulus moves in with the Potters and joins the group, he initially doesn't want to join in the game but very quickly becomes unbeatable.

Everyone just assumes that it's just one of those things he's good at because he's weirdly clever so they don't question it too much.

Until one day James overhears Regulus talking to Fleamont in fluent Punjabi and he realises he learned a whole language, just so that his parents can have one more person in their home that they can speak to in their own language.

That is the day James Potter starts to fall in love with Regulus Black

bro your whimsy. you forgot your fucking whimsy. your solemn and somber attitude is scaring the hoes

Petition for Jily and Jegulus shippers to stop fighting and start making out.

no one confessed their undying love for me today i feel kinda cheated

i can feel the light shine on my face

did I disappoint you?

jokes on you i do care. someone write this. right now. that is a direct order and a threat

i’m aware this is my very personal niche and you won’t care BUT

Architect James who is known for being an engineer’s absolute NIGHTMARE because all his designs are planned from the aesthetics viewpoint not the construction one

Engineer Regulus who always found comfort in maths, and who loves a challenge so fine if nobody else at the company will work for this jackass he will- oh my GOD HE’S AN ACTUAL NIGHTMARE

“you need a column there”

“what? no that ruins the whole view”

“the ceiling caving in will ruin the view”

Incredibly rich (thanks Alphard) Artist Sirius that hires James to design an art gallery for him, also makes sure to pay james to lead the entirety of the construction so Sirius won’t need to be involved

ahem regulus not knowing he’s working for his estranged brother

also james and sirius having meetings, sirius who loves anything artistic adoring James’ designs, prongsfoot friendship my beloved

finaLLY James and Regulus find middle ground on a design james likes and regulus can actually confirm wont crumble to the ground, Sirius approves it and so starts the construction phase

contractor remus working w regulus and james on site, who is missing a construction worker. enter barty that wants to have a “humble” job just to piss off his politician dad. besides it’s a good workout reggie so how bad can it be?

supportive stay at home boyfriend Evan who, like Barty has enough money to not work but unlike Barty has no desire to sweat his day away, so he just visits from time to time to drop off baked goods for the crew (yes he bakes wonderful french pastries)

sirius absolutely will randomly visit the site bc he is bored and impatient, somehow always misses regulus but does meet remus. doesn’t mention the fact he is the owner of the building they’re working on and therefore his boss

food truck cook Peter who is friends with remus and always has him let him know what new project his crew is working on so he is always there on site for lunch time

meanwhile marketing genius Mary and graphic designer Marlene working w Sirius to promote the gallery. fellow artist lily getting mixed in bc her art will be displayed in the gallery too. photographer dorcas gets involved later on
