for everybody going through tough times, believe me, mr. worldwide has both been there and done that ✊😔
AU Fic idea
James and Reg dated. James broke up with Reg and started dating Lily (the break up was very much not mutual)
James is an actor playing Marius and Reg is the director for Les Mis.
Imagine Regulus explaining ‘On My Own’ to the actress playing Éponine, trying to open her up and get her emotional and shit. And James is just hearing everything he’s saying and realizing that that’s how he felt when they broke up.
He had to watch James love Lily openly. Listen to him practically write sonnets in the hallways for her. Every time Reg was hanging out with all of them after the breakup James would always steer the conversation towards Lily and Regulus just had to go along with it.
He watches Reg explain to the actress how Éponine knows that he doesn’t love her, but that won’t stop her from loving him. That she accepts her suffering because she can’t make him love her back. Reg explains it like he’s telling a personal story. James can see the actress start tearing up as she embraces the scene.
And it’s that ‘oh’ moment when James actually realizes what Regulus went through. That this is a personal story to him. He knows it wasn’t mutual but he didn’t realize how much Regulus hurt because of it.
Two nights ago, I had to temporarily leave my home, because my father was throwing plates and mugs, and tried to slap my face
Which, the slap is really fucked up when you think, I have an extremely weak jaw (I had my entire jaw removed in a 10 hour surgery. And my current jaw was hand made by my surgeons using my left fibula) and my father KNOWS this.
I'm currently staying at my partners mom's house for a few days, while things settle down!!
I'm getting my next disability cheque in 3 days, but untill then I have nothing, money wise. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow, in Mississauga and it'll be about $50 for the uber there and back, and iv estimated that for FOOD for the next 3 days that'll cost me $50 as well!!
I'm so sorry everyone. I'm trying so hard to get back up on my feet, and I feel like I keep getting shot down.
I fully believe the increase in serial killer and detective trying to find them jegulus AUs are a direct result of choices’ recent chapters which caused the sudden increase in canon compliant fics.
No I will not explain further, do with that information what you will.
I totally get what you’re saying. To get jegulus and jegulily, you have to change all their characters around.
I personally don’t like when people say Regulus was just forced into a role and he never wanted any of it though I do like seeing how people twist the story in that way. But it makes him sound like a mediocre Draco.
I think a lot of people like Jegulus because of the character depth it brings to both of them. We get to see a softer side to Regulus and how he’s just as scared as everyone else is. It teaches James that you can’t save everyone, especially when they don’t want or think they need to.
In canon, nothing about Jegulus and jegulily would work. But that’s what fan fiction is for. So we can change things or put our own theories about the characters into play.
I’ve seen a lot of discourse about Jegulus in this fandom and I want to give my opinion on it. Before I get into this I would like to say: no hate to any Jegulus shippers. You’re entitled to your own opinions, and I could care less about who you ship as long as it’s not pedophillia, incest, etc. This is just my opinion.
I really hate Jegulus for multiple reasons:
First off, it completely destroys their characters and makes 0 sense for both of them.
James was strongly against blood purity and the Potter family were labeled as blood traitors. He was invited to join the DE by Voldemort and declined (JKR confirmed this was 1 of the 3 ways he betrayed him.) Not to mention he betrayed Voldemort 2 other times. Plus, he was friends with Remus, a half-blood werewolf and Sirius, a blood traitor Gryffindor. Do you really think the Marauders would still be his friends if he suddenly dated a blood supremacist? Imagine if you’re a POC and your white friend dated a racist. Or if you were Jewish and your German friend dated a German N@z! supporter.
Regulus was strongly for blood purity, seeing as he made a shrine dedicated to Voldemort and the DE. This means he would’ve hated Muggleborns, half-bloods, half-breeds, and blood traitors.
Not to mention Sirius. Regulus probably loved Sirius since he asked Kreacher not to tell his family about the Horcrux, and Sirius died not knowing about it, but that doesn’t mean Regulus was a good brother when Sirius was still around. In his youth, Sirius would’ve hated Regulus because of Walburga and Orion’s favoritism. The Potters took Sirius in and James adopted Sirius as a brother. He would’ve hated Regulus because of the way Sirius talked about him. And considering that Sirius hated Regulus as kids, he would be very hurt and angry with James if he suddenly got in a relationship with him.
Second off, Jegulus and Jily can’t work in the same timeline. Lily would never go out with James if he dated a blood supremacist before her. If a white guy asked me to date him, and I knew he dated a white racist before me, I would be horrified and shocked and immediately say no.
And don’t even get me started on the HC about a poly relationship between Lily, James, and Regulus. I’m sorry, but that’s a very disgusting HC to have. Muggleborns are an allegory for Jewish people and DE are an allegory for N@z!s. It’s just like Dramione/Drarry, just Marauders Era edition.
The only way I can see Jegulus or a poly relationship between Regulus, James, and Lily working is in an AU where Regulus was always good, but that still changes him entirely and throws away anything canon about him.
I think a lot of people use Jegulus as a way to give Regulus a better redemption arc. But honestly, using love as a redemption arc doesn’t work and is just lazy writing. We see this with Snily and even Grindledore, to an extent. I think Regulus should’ve been given a better redemption arc but using Jegulus to do so makes no sense and isn’t a good way to fix JKR’s terrible try at a redemption without obsession.
Regulus’ first crush was Newt Scamander. He would always reread fantastic beasts just so he could get to the picture of him at the end. He didn’t really understand why he would start to blush if he looked too long. His dreams were filled with curly golden hair, high cheek bones, and a tiny smile that he wouldn’t mind kissing.
His passion for magical creatures would bleed into his fascination for this man and vice versa. This was why he loved them so much.
This was also why, a few months after first getting the book and sitting with his brother on the train ride to Hogwarts, he could barely look Remus Lupin in the eye without his whole face going red.
You are a wonder.
A true miracle to society

As a former vampire diaries (both the tv show AND the books), twilight, and shadow falls(I know no one’s heard of it, that’s fine) stanner, I can confidently say that vampires are still sexy and cool as fuck.
Please write more long vampire! Jegulus aus.
Please.
@screamingfae I’m looking at you👀👀👀👀
“I’ve always loved you Reggie. . . I don’t think I ever stopped.”
He didn’t say anything; just kept taking labored breaths as tears ran down his face. This was not how James wanted closure with Regulus to go.
It had been years too late. James had a beautiful wife and a kid brighter than any star you could find. What he didn’t have for most of those years was the man standing in front of him.
God, it’s hard to remember that they’re both men. Not the boys they used to run around school as. Already influenced by the war but not so close to be broken by it yet.
Regulus had moved on as well, dating Barty.
Well, not so much moved on, but rather moved forward.
“I guess you could say we were the right peo-”
“No, James, you’re wrong. And you wanna know how I know?” Regulus voice was nasally and raw.
James didn’t know how to respond.
“Because if I was so right for you, then the wrong time wouldn’t have mattered. So please, stop lying to me, and stop lying to yourself.”
Hot take: Jack was Rose’s manic pixie dream boy
Hear me out, I know people hc James being tall, but Sirius and him give off such short king vibes together.
Like, people don’t really think of him as short because he’s BUILT, but the moment him and Sirius are together (which is always), it’s like he loses a couple inches.
He’s still taller than Lily and Regulus (cus I’m a slut for Jegulus and Jegulily🤪) , which makes them angry because it’s only like half an inch and James constantly reminds them of it.
Bro your mind is expansive thank you so much for this perfect explanation. I didn’t think everything was a lie either but I never thought about all of that
ok i don't want to be that person that says "Everyone is wrong and my opinion is the right one" ......but i think everyone is wrong about the ending of Ragnarok.
It was anticlimactic i agree. But i don't think this was all in his head. The final part, the battle, it happened. Magne saw a glimpse of what could have happened if he hadn't went against what things were expected of them. Because this is what the whole show is about. Everyone is expected to be someone and doing something that at the end of the day, they aren't meant to be.
And everyone is like "Oh all of this for Ragnarok to not happen "
But it did.
Just not as it was written. That the Ragnarok they had lived once. That's the Ragnarok they thought they had to live again. They where trapped in a loop of constant fight. But Magne broke that. And the last true Ragnarok happened. He took the nine steps that took Thor to die. And he made a choice. And Thor died. So that Magne could live.
So that they could live.
Ragnarok happened because they left behind their roles. They left behind the expectations they had of themselves. And moved forward. Gone are the times of the Titans and the Gods. They live as humans now.
Ragnarok happened and they are finally free.
