I am a firm believer that regulus says ‘I love you’ first
He never really knew what love felt like, until one day he was with James and it hit him so suddenly that he just said it
regulus opened the little box of the day in the advent calendar james made for him and found a free therapy session for him and sirius. he is very offended.
an essential part of writing marauders fics is the google search entitled "synonym for serious"
"the black family madness" the books call it. "the consequences of inbreeding" is what it actually is
Wolfstar hits harder if Remus isn't conventionally attractive.
Because while Sirius is still deep in denial and internalized homophobia, he's convincing himself like "it's okay, i'm not gay, anyone would want to kiss Remus once in a while, he's just objectively hot"
Except Remus is ankward and quiet when not around friends, he's too tall like he grew up too fast and doesn't know what to do with this extra height, his scars scare people away, he wears grandpa sweaters, drinks tea in his free time and goes to sleep at 9 pm, he can't flirt for the life of him (even though he could bc he's witty and sarcastic) because he has no self-confidence and it shows.
He's basically a loser (affectionate) and Sirius is like "it's okay, no need to panic, he's the sexiest man on earth but that's just an astute observation, no gay thoughts here"
and i just think that's funny as hell
[James watching young Luna and Harry]
Harry, running in: Papa! Papa!
James: Yes?
Harry: Luna said the B word!
James:
Luna, also running in: Motherfucker doesn’t start with B, Harry!
regulus black is one of those motherfuckers who saves contacts with full names with like. capital letters. like. Sirius Black and Bartemius Crouch Jnr. the only person who gets a special contact name is pandora and it's literally just. Panda. you'd think he has absolutely no personality when you look at his contact list ...
the black brothers gossip. 100%. and when they do james and remus just watch in awe, because the conversation goes from english to rapid-fire frenglish and they aren’t even sure sirius and regulus are breathing, and the brothers get so loud the whole common room watches them like a tense quidditch match because they think they’re arguing, when in reality, they’re shittalking about dumbass gilderoy lockheart
i present to you: jily
inspo: @irunaki
regulus black responding to the slightest inconvenience with “i’m gonna kms” is so essential to me
look i am all for the james “christmas whore” potter and regulus “the grinch” black but what we are all forgetting is that the grinch actually loved christmas he just pretended he didn’t bc of his big sad heart
using "Walburga's A+ Parenting" as a warning for child abuse in a marauders fanfic will never not be funny to me
Regulus black fell first but James potter fell harder and I will be taking zero criticism
"jealous regulus this" "possessive regulus that" GIVE ME JEALOUS AND POSSESSIVE JAMES PLEASE
Thinking about Regulus talking James's ear off about things he enjoys (but only in private cause he has a reputation to uphold) and James being silent only when he's with Regulus (he too has his reputation to uphold) and actually listening... Reggie is happy cause someone is listening to him for once in his life, and James is happy cause he doesn't have to be 'the happy person' for once.
Regulus doesn’t have an owl, he has a crow that sits on his shoulder and glares at everyone
incidentally, the crow loves James
Honestly could be any of the marauders they are having a bad time
Remus: i love studying and getting good grades
Also Remus when exams roll around:
"that didnt happen in canon" and canon didnt happen at all, what is your point
Evan: I love you, I really do, but we can't date Barty: What? Why? Evan: Because what happens if we break up? Barty: ... Barty: ! Barty: Who gets Regulus in the divorce?! Evan: Exactly!
no i dont like ‘harry potter’ i like a secret second gayer thing that exists in my head
i used to think my lil harry potter phase would stop when i got older.
then i crossed over to the gay side. oh boy. oooooh boy. this is now an integral part of my personality forever i'm pretty sure heh
and i'm so here for it.
The people who compare Regulus to a star and James to the sun are correct, but consider: the sun IS a star. Regulus burns just as brightly as James does. You just have to get closer to him.
me watching harry potter in public: “yeah, so those two characters actually have a pretty interesting backstory once you get into the lore of it all…”
watching harry potter alone: *beaten, bruised, tear stained eyes* “—AND NO ONE GOT HIM OUT OF PRISON FOR 12 YEARS. NO ONE EVER EVEN LOOKED FOR HIM. NO ONE EVEN TRIED.”
with wolfstar there is no "fell first" "fell harder" nonsense, they're both fucking idiots and they fell so much they crashed through three floors

Prompt 1: aparecium - 216 words
Remus was feeling nervous. He had wanted to show his friends the map for a while, but he needed to make sure it was perfect first.
When he did show them, they were all impressed.
"So you're saying that with this we should be able to se everyone, at all times?" James asked, astonished
"Yeah, but I'm still working on a spell for that to apply to everyone in the castle. For now I just enchanted the teachers and Filch"
"I'll help!" Said Peter, looking excited. He always liked researching for pranks.
"We should put a spell so only us could see it. Like, with revelio or aparecium" Sirius suggested, still staring at the map.
James brightened up at this "it should probably be some frase, though. And if they say it wrong, the map insults them"
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" Remus whispered and Sirius' head snapped up
"Say that again" he said
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"
"Yes, Moony! That's brilliant" Peter said, excited
"You're brilliant" Sirius muttered, his eyes shining in admiration.
He usually looked at him like that, like he had hung the moon in the sky.
Remus would never admit it out loud, but those eyes melted him inside and out.
James and regulus would fight over who's sweater lily should wear, a her just wearing one of Remus' to piss them
James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Snape:
“Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck; you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he’d killed you! You’d have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black — now get out of the way, or I will make you"
James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Lupin:
"No, I think you're like James," said Lupin, "who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends."
5sos but it’s actually a marauders band au.
