Jegulus

it's bartylus

I have not been able to stop thinking about Jegulus and Pandalily co-parenting Harry and Luna.

Regulus and Pandora knew they were gay but were forced into an arranged marriage by their parents and ran away either a little before or a little after Luna was born.

Jilly are highschool sweethearts who got married right out of school, only to realise after Harry is born that they love each other but aren't in love with each other (if that makes sense).

Both couples break up but stay best friends of course.

Then Pandalily and Jegulus get together.

Luna and Harry grow up as siblings with two mums and two dads.

James is 'Dad', Lily is 'Mum', Regulus is 'Papa' and Pandora is 'Mama'.

They all live in a house together as a family. Happy ending.

(bonus: Sirius and Remus raising Teddy alongside them. One big happy family)

I've recently become a marauders era fan (november 2024) and I'm slowly reading some of the more popular fics (currently halfway through Only the Brave), but I've already seen so many angsty spoilers for some of the others and I'm honestly kind of scared lmao

being hyperfixated on the marauders but not even remotely invested in taylor swift is a battle only given to god's strongest soldiers

gilderat and kittywater are two ships that I was not prepared for when I joined this fandom

I always love it when the Black cousins have closer relationships to each other in fan works.

In my head, Sirius is Andromeda's baby and Regulus is Narcissa's. Bellatrix is not allowed to babysit alone lol.

A while ago I read a fic where Sirius goes to live with Andromeda instead of the Potters when he runs away and it might have been deleted because I can't find it, but it was sooo sweet.

I'm also currently reading a fic where Andromeda took Sirius with her when she left and raised him as her son. Will add the fic name and author if I can find it. (After All This Time by starsarestories on ao3)

But I haven't been able to find any fics with Narcissa and Regulus like that, or even Bellatrix and Regulus and its killing me. I need it.

Since joining this fandom I've noticed that the ship names just hit different than the ship names in other fandoms (or maybe I'm just in the wrong fandoms lol) Like, you have the usual Put Both Characters Names Together ship names (jily, dorlene, jegulus, etc), but then you have wolfstar and starchaser/sunseeker and those ship names are just??? so good???

rosekiller? nobleflower? all of them sound so pretty like wtf

But then you have ship names like moonwater, which sounds just as pretty as the others until you think about what its a reference to

All this to say, I am in love with the way this fandom does ship names

My favourite fanfic trope is when the MC is inexplicably overpowered. Especially when they are super nonchalant about it.

Now that I think about it, thats probably why I love Whatever happened to the young, young lovers? by georgia_sk so much.

And Saiki K and One Punch Man. Those aren't fanfics but my point still stands.

Kinda surprised I haven't found a horcrux hunting fic where Regulus "I will betray the Dark Lord for my house elf" Arcturus Black (canon), or maybe, Regulus "I love magical creatures, Care for Magical Creatures is my favourite class at school" Arcturus Black (fanon), frees the dragon from Gringotts while stealing Helga Hufflepuff's cup from Bellatrix's vault (just like the Golden Trio do). But instead of it just flying off, never to be seen again, they become friends and Regulus brings a whole ass dragon to help him kill Voldemort.

or something like that...

I can't be the only person who saw the main character in Lies of P and immediately thought of Regulus Black right?
