The Tragedy Of Regulus Arcturus And The Comedy Of Sirius Orion

Someone please write this fic 😭😭

"So what do you recommend to encourage affection?"

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

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

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”

What. The. Fuck.

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

jegulus size difference so james can manhadle regulus however he wants when they are having their freaky time? absolutely

but also! jegulus size difference so whenever james hugs regulus he completely engulfs him, not even a bit of him visible? fuck yeah.

i rest my case.

“I’ll never forget you,” James tells him. A smile on his face, love in his eyes. Regulus finds it hard to not believe him.

“I’ll never forget you,” he had said. Regulus comes to realise it was a lie when he sees James with his tongue down Evans’ throat. Kissing her like she is the only thing in his world. Perhaps she is.

“I’ll never forget you,” Regulus had whispered to no one in particular as he stepped towards a figure standing waist deep in icy cold water in that beautiful crystal cave.

“I’ll never forget you,” James whispers brokenly in his childhood room, the daily prophet announcing Regulus’ death crumpled slightly in his fist.

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.

this is exactly how i picture them haha

like remus and regulus would be perfectly civil with each other before wolfstar get together, perhaps a little teasing from regulus' side because of remus' feelings but not much. then wolfstar get together, and remus realises that regulus is very much NOT polite, instead a hellspawn sent personally to bother and pester him that he'll have to endure for the rest of his life because sirius is his forever.

but he usually gives it as good as he gets so its fine <3

love platonic moonwater but the idea of regulus being a brother in law sent straight from hell is so so funny to me.

James' response to everything, all the time: "Oh, you want me bad."

when ppl say James is oblivious to someone flirting but I know him for the cocky shit he is who thinks everyone is flirting with him.
