James X Regulus - Blog Posts

I NEED THIS OMG

i love the 'regulus gets hit with the de-aging magic' fluff fics but i need a fic where james is hit with the spell or accidentally drinks a potion. the cutest, happiest something four-years-old running after his friends on his chubby legs, so eager to hear about all the mischief they get up to at the big age of seventeen. he collects all sorts of flowers and scurries off to regulus in the great hall, climbing onto the spot beside him and proudly presenting them, totally unaware that they're the very same flowers he keeps leaving before his door in secret. will pout and latch onto regulus when sirius tries to bring him back to the common room, unashamedly climbing reg and wrapping himself around his neck like a petulant koala all >:'[ tear-fogged glasses

Save me... save me Jegulus Icarus metaphor...

I Will by Mitski is so James with Regulus trying to convince him that it's okay to be vulnerable

Do you love Regulus Black or do you just love the idea that you can be as mean and awkward and judgmental as you want and the perfect person will fall in love with you as you are?

Omg I love this 😂I can see pads just being so confused he doesn’t know who to be mad at 😭but at the same time like WAIT HOLD UP-

Remus and Regulus at their weekly study session in the library

Sirius, storming in: WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE. MY BOYFRIEND CANOODLING WITH MY BROTHER.

Remus: Pads, I am not canoodling with Regulus don't be ridiculous.

Regulus: I would never canoodle with Remus, we're studying transfiguration and it wouldn't harm you to look at the textbook once in a while yourself.

Remus: You would really never canoodle with me?

Regulus: Oh, if I wasn't shagging James you would be number one on my list of people to canoodle with don't worry.

Remus: Oh good, same to you but with Sirius.

Sirius: Wait what Rem- Regulus why are you- JAMES AS IN MY BEST FRIEND AS IN JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER?! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM.

Remus: Well, I hope all those 5am Quidditch training sessions were worth it because Prongs is going to need to RUN.

Marauders & co. at an airport/ on a plane

James: Looks in every shop at the airport, is really hyper up until he gets on the plane, then he’s pretty chill

Sirius: Terrified of flying on a plane (will fly on a literal broomstick but can’t even think about flying in an enclosed space). Brings his skincare to do on the plane.

Remus: Forces everyone to get to the airport early, packs the night before, is at least 20 people’s airport crush. Reads the whole plane ride

Peter: Brings snacks, magazines, games. Gets lost but makes friends with some random person who he’ll never see again

Marlene: Goes into every shop with James, will not chill out on the plane (always asks the flight attendants a million questions), is that annoying person who claps when the plane lands

Lily: Helps Remus rangle everyone into coming to the airport early, has her whole suitcase organised, sleeps on the plane

Mary: Forces everyone to get to the gate early, first in line onto the plane, gets really stressed (especially going through security)

Regulus: Looks chill, but he’s actually really scared of planes (like Sirius), has monogrammed luggage, listens to music on the plane. Sits on the aisle seat

Pandora: Is actually super chill, has the “we get there when we get there” mentality. If no one dragged her along to be early she’d turn up as the gate was closing. Brings her latest craft project onto the plane (not like messy stuff, like crochet or embroidery or smth)

Dorcas: Makes sure no one gets lost, is at least 20 people’s airport crush (like Remus), is willing to put people on one of those backpack leash things. Talks to people on the plane.

Evan: Tired™️. It doesn’t matter if the flight is at 1pm, he’ll still sleep at every chance he gets. Goes crazy when the airport has a Lego shop. Sleeps on the plane (obvi)

Barty: Is extremely annoying. Won’t be ready when everyone has to leave, definitely forgot something at home, is super annoying on the flight (will be that person that “asks questions” when the flight attendants are doing the safety thing), claps when the plane lands.

I had this really weird dream last night that regulus was going to work but Sirius had taken his phone and he was really upset. Then James came and stared baking him a new phone. Like full on eggs and flour and shit. It was really cute but I’m still kinda scared. Like what was that about??

Marauders & co as things my sister has said (she’s deranged, Istg)

- James: (Talking about storm troopers) look at them running around like tic tacs. Tica tica tica tica

- Barty: When I grow up I’m gonna be a Kidnapper

- Sirius: Can you touch this hole in my foot? Regulus: no. I don’t want to touch the hole in your foot. Sirius: Whyyyyyyyy

- Barty: See ya sisters! Wait are you taking a video? Take a video [regulus]! Okay. See ya sisters!

- Pandora: This foot massager is like dislocated bones wiggling around under skin. I love it

(These are all the ones I have written down in my notes app, but my sister is completely nuts and has said some way weirder stuff)

Star “if the only way to love you is to let us die” chaser

Tv shows I think people from the marauders era would watch:

James and Sirius: H2o (and they’d fucking love very minute of it)

Regulus: Young Royals

Sirius and James (yes again, because I can): heartstopper

Evan and Barty: Heartbreak high (the new one)

Dorcas: the chilling adventures of Sabrina/gossip girl

Lily and Mary: Gilmore girls/ gossip girl (they’d talk about it with dorcas)

Lily: Anne with an E

Pandora: the good place

Pandora and regulus: umbrella academy

Peter and Sirius: teen titans go

Remus: shadow and bone (he’s obviously read the books first tho)/ derry girls

Marlene: atypical/sex education/ Kath and Kim

James and regulus: the end of the f***ing world/I am not ok with this

Regulus and Remus: the queens gambit

I HAVE REALLY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS TO ALL OF THESE BUT THEYRE REALLY LONG AND RAMBLY SO IM LEAVING THEM OUT

Dorcas: So regulus, do you have a crush on anyone?

Regulus: the only crush I have is my crushing anxiety

Regulus: and also James

(Inspired by a post by @ivysincorrectquotes!)

*james walking into the lounge to the walls covered in sticky notes and string and Regulus running around like a madman*

James: Love, it’s 3 am, what are you doing?

Regulus: I need to find out if Lizzie Borden killed her fucking parents or not, James. It’s really important

James: Come on honey, we can work that out together tomorrow, just come with me to bed.

Regulus Arcturus black was the most mesmerising person he had ever seen. From the moment he saw him, James was trapped, like a fly in a web. At the time, in second year, he’d thought it was hatred. But it wasn’t, was it?

Over time, he came to realise that what he felt for regulus wasn’t hate at all, but love. Although there is a very, very thin line between the two.

Even when he knew he should’ve hated him, James loved him. James loved him with everything he was.

In the end, hatred and love were two very different things for James Potter.

The moment Regulus Black laid eyes on James Potter, he hated him. Even before that, he hated the idea of James Potter. He hated his stupid face, his stupid, bright smile and the fact that he’d taken away his one lifeline in the cold life he lived.

The thing was, James potter was everywhere, there was no getting away from him. In the beginning, it was fine, fun even, James, along with Sirius, mocking him, picking fights with him. He could deal with that. But then, encounters like that became less and less, replaced with James’ bright smiles, his futile but constant attempts at becoming friends.

That was what broke regulus in the end, what made him admit that what he felt for James potter was more than just hatred. It was love.

Loving James potter was all consuming, regulus became love for James, all the while hating himself and James for it. He hated and loved James potter right up until the end, even after those cold dead hands pulled him into the black water, he hated and loved James more than anything.

In the end, hatred and love were the same thing for Regulus Black.

IM SORRY BUT TONGUES AND TEETH BY THE CRANE WIVES IS LITERALLY REGULUS?!?!?

Rip James and lily. They deserved so much more. <33

James: I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re my centre of gravity, without you, everything would float away and life would be nothing. I just don’t know how to explain how much I love you, my love for you is what I am now, I am nothing if not complete adoration for everything you do.

Sirius: I love you too prongs, you’ll never really know how much, but I do love you, so so much

*emotional loving embrace*

Regulus standing in the corner: what the fuck did I just witness

Remus: get used to it bud

Every day, every single day, I hate myself for coming into the the marauders fandom. And to whoever decided that Happy Xmas (war is over) with videos of the marauders would make a good tik tok, I hope you suffer every day with the thought of the people you have hurt

It’s always “regulus fell first but James fell harder” but what if James fell first and regulus fell harder?

Regulus, not sure why James potter, popular, bold and loud, was interested in him. Regulus feeling things he’s never felt before and wondering why he felt like that. Regulus realising that he loved James, his love for James becoming all consuming, him being scared because he’s never felt like that before, nor has he ever had someone feel love for him that James potter did.

Regulus loved James so much he gave the ultimate sacrifice for him, but he didn’t realise that James loved him just as much as he loved James, he didn’t realise that what he did would affect him in the way it did. Why would he even think about it? No one had cared about him before. But James potter loved regulus black more than anything, and a part of him always would.

James was the sun, but get too close to the sun and you get burnt.

In the dorms before a quidditch game (James is always in pep talk mode)

James: Sometimes life is hard, but we always bounce back

Remus: Nah

Regulus: speak for yourself

Sirius: james, I love you mate, but have you met us?

Peter: *high-fiving James because he’s a positive king*

Sirius: wait… why is regulus here?

James:

Regulus:

Regulus: I’m having an internal breakdown but externally

Sirius: it doesn’t work like that, whore

Remus: shut up, I’m trying to get my daily 1 hour of sleep

James: guys, be nice

Peter: *asleep*

(This was actually a conversation that happened at my school camp)

IM LITERALLY CRYING

Whsksvwksvaksv

HE KNOWS IM PISSING MYSELF

*sirius walked into a closet where James and regulus may or may not have been making out and now the doors stuck*

James: Well this is nice, just the three of us

Sirius and regulus: No!

OH MY GOD YES

"The first time we met I was looking up to you. Suppose I still am."

"Did you think I was looking down on you? When we met."

"Weren't you?"

"No. More like... admiring the view."

Sirius: *waking up* Wait so guys I just had the strangest dream

Remus: nope, I’m not listening to this

Peter: *already gone*

Regulus: Not this early

James: I’m listening babe 😍

Sirius: *idk, telling the strangest dream you will ever hear*

Regulus to Remus: are you sure they’re not dating

Remus: they better not be, since I’m shagging one of them and you’re shagging the other

Silence

Sirius: james…

James: *literally running for his life*

Regulus to Remus again: oh delightful

regulus was terrified of being a bad dad to harry.

t e r r i f i e d.

he worried, and he paced, and half the time he panicked if he was left alone with harry for even two minutes for james to go to the kitchen and bring back a bottle.

james was phenomenal with him, a natural. james was born to be a father. lily was an amazing doting mother, it all seemed to come so natural to her. mary always made harry squeal with excitement the second she walked into a room. but regulus felt as if he could never be a good father. he never had a good example, so how could he be?

so when harry potter was eleven months old, and took his first steps towards regulus, who at the time was not even paying attention to him. and james and lily screamed in excitement, scaring harry and causing him to not only just walk to regulus, but run to him.

well, regulus figured he must of not been doing to awful of a job.

and as he held a now crying harry who couldn’t understand why everyone was screaming and being so loud, and clung to his papa with tear stained cheeks and soft coos. regulus decided it didn’t matter how terrified he was of being a father, because he already was one, and harry seemed to think he was doing a pretty good job.

Regulus POV

As he turned the corner, Regulus saw James standing there, in the moonlight, staring up at the stars. He looked so peaceful. Slowly, he turned to leave, but the other boy called out, “stay.” And so he did. He would do anything for James, no matter what, which was why he was here in the first place.

To say goodbye.

“James,” regulus said, his voice coming across normal, even though he felt like a raging storm inside, messy and strange, but empty. “Regulus,” James replied, turning to face him, “I haven’t seen you in ages.” Regulus realised that this was a bad idea, he couldn’t do it, but he was here, so he spoke, “I know. I just wanted to say goodbye.” James went to speak, opening that beautiful goddamn mouth of his, but regulus kept talking, “I wanted to say that you were the only thing that brought me true happiness, that you were the reason I believed in love, and that I still love you. So much James, so much.” He could feel tears forming, but he fought to keep them from falling. “Reggie, whatever you’re going to do, don’t.” Said James, taking a step towards regulus, his face broken into a million pieces. Oh, he could always tell when something was wrong, when stuff just wasn’t right, hopefully he can find someone who appreciates that just as much as regulus does. “I can’t James,” he said, trying not to just give in and run towards him, “I have to.” And then, he apparated away

James’ POV

Suddenly, regulus was gone, leaving James standing out there, in the cold, confused, sad and broken. It hurt to see him, his darling regulus, after all those months, but he still shone just as brightly to James. Something was wrong though, that much he could tell, and he knew he had to check on him. So James went back inside the flat he shared with Sirius and found the one thing he kept of regulus’, the one object that was so familiar to both of them, that they would know it even after death, a golden snitch. He grabbed it and whispered a spell, and it started tugging him in a direction.

James ended up at the entrance of a cave, the treacherous waters crashing against the rocks, this had to be the wrong place, but the snitch kept tugging, only this time stronger, so he followed it. It got to a point where he had to conjure a boat, and sail through the water, towards an island, where he could see a silhouette of a person being dragged down by cold, mutilated hands, and he jumped out, running towards the other boy. “REGULUS,” he shouted, “REGGIE.” He got to the body, and dragged it out of the grip of the creatures, but it was limp and cold, his lips blue and his face deathly pale.

As James cradled the body of the boy he loved, he sobbed, and screamed, the sounds tearing themselves out of his throat. Why had he done this? Why had his beautiful, darling, lovely regulus done this? Later, much later, he would find out, and his already broken heart would break even more, but he didn’t know that at that moment, so he kept screaming, and sobbing, and holding his one true love.

*sirius walking in on James and regulus*

James: It- it’s not what you think it is

Regulus: It is

Sirius: But you’re my brother

Sirius: And you’re my other brother

Sirius: This is incest

Regulus: At least mother will be happy

(Throughout this whole thing James is just there slowly combusting)

James: Would you still love me if I were a worm?

Regulus: Still? You’re assuming I love you

James: … :’(

Regulus: I would love you in any form James.

James: *sobbing*

(Sirius standing at the door like 🧍🏼)

everyone’s always like ‘sirius would be so mad if he found out that regulus and james were dating’ NO HE WOULDNT HE WOULD BE NUMBER ONE WINGMAN TWO OF THE MOST LOVED PEOPLE IN HIS LIF???? TOGETHER???? BITCH HE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT GOT THEM TOGETHER
