Remus after The Prank, crying himself to sleep, hurt, sad, angry, because he hates Sirius, because he loves Sirius, because he wants to hate him, he needs to, because he broke his trust but he’d still forgive him if he didn’t restrain himself.
Because Sirius was everything and suddenly was nothing, and Remus was on solid ground at one minute, and free falling from a cliff the at the next one. Because love wasn’t enough, because love isn’t enough, because he’s afraid love will never be enough.
And he hates himself, because even then, he doesn’t know if he can hate him.
Not friends or lovers but a secret third thing; something too difficult to name, too hard to describe. Too intimate to be platonic, too scared to cross the line into lovers. But the line is a circle, and it always lead them back to each other.
Forgot to post this here
Don't know if it's been said or not but do you think somewhere in the afterlife James Potter is screaming crying pulling his hair because his son called Regulus less handsome than his brother?
BUT BUT BUT specifically as James sees Regulus for the first time after they broke up when Regulus got the Dark Mark. All of them get to know the truth about Regulus finding and destroying the horcruxes and James. just. faints. Because he sees his beloved after he thought he had lost him. Voldemort is defeated, but the effects carry on. They're different men now. Hardened by war and misery. But James asks if they could fall in love again (even if they hadn't really fallen out of it) especially since he hadn't given Regulus any explanation, only left him standing on the Astronomy Tower once he had seen the Dark Mark on his wrist.
And Regulus breaks. Of course, he's always been waiting.
Jegulus Core
You're leaving now and my dreams will go with you / You'll forget me, you'll forget me / I know I'll lose a great love and a good friend too / So tell me how it will be / Me without you, me without you
First week back to school after sirius ran away.
do you guys want another edit i never put this here
Regulus who learned to be an animagus to sneak out of his room and onto his roof at night
Regulus who soon learned being an animagus comes in equally is handy to sneak around the castle at night
Regulus who crosses paths as an animagus with James when he was out for a prank, and he couldn’t stay away. its always easier to give into what he wants when he’s a cat
Regulus who finds out James is really good at petting
Regulus who acts like it didn’t happen at all
Regulus who keeps sneaking out to walk around and clear his mind and keeps every once in a while bumping into James, more and more until it’s every night he can’t escape James finding him to play
Regulus who starts actively looking for James because, well, James will find him anyway so let’s save themselves the time
Regulus who once a month can’t find James and james apparently can’t find him either, but he gets visits of a stag in the courtyard
Regulus who one night finds james drunk, after he snuck out of a gryffindor party, and keeps him company until he sobers up. James doesn’t, he talks and talks to the cat. At one point he tells him he reminds him of a boy he likes. they fall asleep together for the first time
Regulus who learned enough about animagi to become one and do silly things, not caring much about the details for the first time in his life. Regulus who therefore doesn’t know animagi can accidentally turn back human in their sleep, o even turn back into animals all without waking up
James who wakes up at 4am in some hallway, still tipsy and with a headache, and looks down to see regulus laying down on top of him fast asleep
James who says “i knew it” before falling back asleep and acting like nothing happened
Regulus who woke up an hour later, a cat again, in horror at how well he slept. He claw James’ hands to jolt him awake before leaving him there and going back to his room
James and Regulus who end up routinely sleeping on James’ bed, because James wants to and Regulus is convinced nobody will know anyway if he’s a cat
Regulus who turns switches between human and animal repeatedly in his sleep and James keeps acting like he doesn’t know but still charms his curtains every time so nobody will ever see
Regulus who wakes up from a bad nightmare in James’ bed and James hurries to comfort and reassure him
Regulus who is still in shock from the nightmare it takes him a second to realize he’s a human… around James
Regulus who takes evem longer to realize James isn’t reacting at all to the fact he is a human in his bed… he is Regulus of all people, in his bed
and then they kiss mwah mwah thank you
After Jegulus breaks up:
James “I have a feeling you got everything you wanted / And you're not wasting time stuck here like me / You're just thinkin' it's a small thing that happened / The world ended when it happened to me” Potter
And
Regulus “I know it’s for the better / I know it’s for the better / I know it’s for the better / I know it’s for the better”
give me arrogant, selfish, egotistical james potter ! i want him to think the entire world revolves around him and that everyone owes him something ! i want to see his carefully put together image of superiority begin to crack and crumble when things don’t go his way ! i want james who has never heard the word ‘no’ in his life ! i want to see james potter walk all over people because his success is more important to him than others ! i want to see james get put in his place so hard by the one man that it ultimately changes the course of james’ life and james finally gets a fucking grip on reality and sees the world doesn’t revolve around him ! and that is because the entire world takes form in the body of regulus black !
