“I’ll Never Forget You,” James Tells Him. A Smile On His Face, Love In His Eyes. Regulus Finds

SO REAL

i love sunshine james and i love soft reggie i really do

but PLEASE someone give me fic recs for arrogant egotistical asshole james becoming obsessed with rude spiteful regulus IM BEGGING

"What the Water gave Me" by Florence + the Machine except it's Regulus to Kreacher when he was drinking the potion and convincing the elf to leave

"and oh, poor atlas // the world's a beast of burden // you've been holding on a long time // and all this longing" is of course him to James as his last words T-T

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

Someone please write this fic 😭😭

"So what do you recommend to encourage affection?"

"Dancing, even if one's partner is barely tolerable"

It's like Dostoevsky said your worst problem is you fucked up

One of my favourite movie quote goes, "Woh kehte hai main uss jaisa nahi, phir kyu mujh jaisa woh lagta hai?"

Translation: "They say I am not like him, then why does he feel like me?"

And that is my definition of love.

Remus pursed his lips. "What did you see in Regulus, anyways?"

"Myself," was James' immediate response.

OOF now that's an idea

okay imagine after The Prank, Remus starts hanging out with the Slytherin Skittles. He obviously still hangs out with James and Peter, and Lily, Marlene, and Mary, but wherever they are, Sirius tends to follow. So he hangs out with the Skittles. And of course he won't tell them exactly what he and Sirius are arguing about, so he just says it was a prank. A bad prank. A disastrous one.

And it's obviously a new dynamic between the Skittles and Remus. Of course, his friends are fun and free and love pulling off insane pranks, but the Slytherins... they've actually got a bit of crazy to them.

So Barty, my crazy genius, decides that Regulus and Remus should fake-date to get back at Sirius. It's genius -- Sirius's ex-best friend (and still crush that 'no one knows about') dating his brother. Absolutely genius.

And Remus hates Sirius so much -- hates him because he could never hate him, even after what he did -- decides to go along with it.

So Regulus and Remus show up at the Great Hall, holding hands and looking all love-dovey. Barty is giggling so hard he almost gives it away. Sirius is glaring at them from the Gryffindor table, clutching his knife so hard his knuckles are bone white.

But James isn't looking at them at all. And now he won't talk to Remus, either.

Because James has been in love with Regulus for a while now, but he hasn't told anyone. And one of his best mates is holding Regulus's hand, and he wishes so hard it was him instead.

The tragedy of Regulus Black

James "dogs are so weird, no matter how much you hurt them, they'll still love you" Potter vs Regulus "cats are so weird, they don't tell you what's wrong until it's too late" Black.

If I stretch my arms as far as they go, I can feel the edges of the sky
