*Story involves Drarry (probably the only drarry I’ll ever post)
This has been floating in my head for a while:
So Regulus and James dated but then broke up and Jily happened.
Regulus doesn’t join the death eaters and they all survive the war.
So one night Harry wants his whole family to meet his new boyfriend. So James, Lily, Sirius, Regulus, and Remus are all in the living room when Harry comes home holding hands with Draco.
They all look at this emo slytherin boy who’s the son of Narcissa Malfoy née Black. Then they see this tan boy with crazy hair and the biggest smile. Sirius just bursts out laughing.
Harry doesn’t know why his dad and Regulus are staring at them in shock or why Sirius is dying laughing. He asks what’s wrong.
Sirius composes himself and just says, “Do you also happen to fancy a ginger?” Regulus kicks him out of the room for that comment.
That’s the night Harry found out his dad and Regulus used to date.
I feel like James and Regulus would both be really into anime for two very different reasons that I could not explain.
Actually, now that I’m really thinking about it, can someone please write a one shot like this because I feel like it would be really cute.
Like, imagine them forcing the other to watch their favorites (because they have very different tastes in anime obv).
I really don’t know anything about anime but I just feel like this is correct.
🌈💖✨Send this to the twelve nicest people you know or seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome🖤☮️💫

*tw child abuse
I like the thought of the one time Regulus helps Sirius is the night Sirius leaves.
Like, Walburga and Sirius are having this raging fight and as usual Regulus sits by the stairs and waits for it to be over.
As the fight starts to get violent he can hear Sirius fight back (which only started that summer)
He thinks Sirius is stupid and is only making it worse but it doesn’t help the anxiety of knowing one of them will get hurt. He just wants it all to stop.
He hears someone crash to the ground while his mother is still screaming curses. He’s scared out of his mind but his mother’s curses are slowly getting more severe and Sirius isn’t responding. He slowly gets up and walks to the parlor.
He realizes that he can hear Sirius, but it’s just whimpers. He doesn’t think about it too hard though. He doesn’t think about how he doesn’t have his wand on him. He doesn’t think about how he’s supposed to wait by the stairs. He doesn’t think about it when he stands in front of Sirius for the first time and disarms his mother from across the room. Right before she could utter the unforgivable. Her wand disappears from her hand. Into oblivion, Reg hopes.
He wanted it to stop. So he made it stop. But now he needs time to start up again so he can get the fuck out of there.
Sirius is bruised from head to toe but Reg manages to get him up the stairs. Sirius is only half conscious but he has a purpose as he stops leaning on him at the top of the stairs and starts ransacking his room.
Sirius can’t believe it. Reg did it. He stood up to the old hag. He’d been waiting for the right time to leave and this is just perfect. He doesn’t bother with clothes, James will have plenty. He grabs his school things and all his pictures. Starting with one of him and James on his wall and slowly making his way to the one of Moony on his bedside table.
“Come on Reggie, get a move on” Sirius throws over his shoulder. Reg’s just been standing there in shock.
Regulus is still at the top of the stairs. He can hear Sirius’ scuffling around his room and his mother’s scrambling for her wand downstairs. The sounds are quiet but loud. Eerily similar to one another.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re getting out of here.”
“What do you mean?”
Sirius finishes packing and turns back to Regulus. “Come with me. To James’. We can get out of here. We can leave.”
Sirius looks manic as he grabs Reg and takes them to his room. Sirius starts to grab his stuff and shove it into his bag. He’s breathing heavily, trying to shove down the panic.
“I know we haven’t gotten on very well these last few years… but we can fix it all now. Help me get all your stuff.”
“We can’t leave.” Regulus stills Sirius’ hands with his own. “Are you crazy? Mum will have a fit if we leave.”
“She won’t be able to find us.”
“She’ll know where you went. He’s your best friend.” Regulus knows all too well how close James and Sirius are. Practically brothers, as they say.
“Reg,” Sirius is firmer now, “I’m leaving now. With or without you.”
Sirius makes his way to Regulus’ window. He just has to open the window and leave. “Sirius, don’t go.”
It’s Regulus’ turn to panic. “Just stay. I’m sure it’ll all be fine. If we just apologize-“
“No Reg. No more. I can’t stay here.” Sirius opens the window and begins to clime out.
Regulus grabs his hand. “Sirius please. Sirius just stay. Don’t go. It’ll all be fine, just stay, please. Sirius I’m so scared. » Regulus’ voice fades at the end, but Sirius hears it nonetheless. He grabs him and they wrap their arms around each other for the final time. « You’ll never be what they want you to be. They’ll never be satisfied. »
Regulus doesn’t answer. they always had differing opinions.
They pull back from each other but Sirius holds Regulus’ face, remembering the last time he saw him as his brother. « Goodbye, Reggie. »
Regulus wanted to say so much. Don’t go. Come back to me someday. Don’t let this be goodbye. Good luck. I can’t lose you.
I love you
« Goodbye, brother. »
Sirius would’ve grabbed Regulus and forced him out the window. He would’ve tried harder when James blocked the front door as he tried to go back for him. But Regulus had proven himself. He had shown that he could stand up to their mother.
That was the first time Regulus had stood up for what was right. The second time, well, I’m sure you can guess the second time, was the last time.
My thoughts EXACTLY. The perfect post.
I believe that the reason why so many people like Regulus Black is because he is a blank slate. like we barely know anything about him other than the fact that he was a seeker, Sirius’s younger brother, a death eater at age sixteen, in a good relationship with a house elf and died around the age of seventeen or eighteen. another thing is that writing him is so interesting because of his circumstances, like boy grew up in a blood supremacist household, had Sirius Black as his older brother, Walburga Black and Orion Black as parents, was friends with Kreacher. There are just so many possibilities on what kind of person he could have been. He could have been a blood purist until he realized that muggle-borns are just as good at magic as purebloods. Or he didn’t believe his parent from the start but kept quiet because someone had to keep the peace in this shit hole of a house and it sure as hell wasn’t Sirius or Walburga. he could have been a very nice boy and a goody-two-shoes who tried to please everyone. or he could have been a ruthless young man who was tired at the unfairness of the world, bitter towards his older brother who left him to rot with his crazy mother and distant father. he could have been an animagus. knew Remus was a werewolf. friends with halfbloods or even muggleborns. maybe he was bisexual or demisexual or asexual. he could have been in love with James Potter. best friends with Barty. there are just so many headcanons and possibilities with Regulus because he is a blank canvas for us waiting to be brought to life and we can project ourselves on him and mold him to our liking and hoe we see fit. and this is why I think regulus is such an interesting character even though we know so little about him.
“No Sirius, we agreed we would do Centaurs next week.”
“But Centaurs are cool.”
“They’ll be cool next week.”
“Oh wow, professor lupin everybody. Centaurs are only cool when HE wants them to be.”
“You know that’s not what I’m saying. We already planned this wee-“
“The rest of the class agrees that we should do Centaurs this week”
“LITERALLY NO ONE SAID THAT”
“I COULD FEEL IT IN THEIR ENERGY”
“WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???”
The class: *tired because this happens every week*
Imagine if both Remus AND Sirius got the chance to co-teach Defence Against the Dark Arts??
That’s actually super interesting because I always see them never getting together. Like they always have a sad ending in ffs and it’s makes it hard to find fics bc i can’t do sad endings🤪
Also, I always thought that James would already think blood supremacy’s bad but he would learn differently with Reg. He would realize that the ‘bad side’ are people just like him outside of their beliefs. Reg would humanize the death eaters for him. It would make the war more real for the both of them to know who they’re losing
But I LOVE seeing other ideas about the relationship because they shouldn’t all be the same!!!!!
Okay so Jegulus,
I don't ship it.
But not because of the ship.
I don't ship it because of how a lot of other people ship it. Like it can't work out, but that's like the point of it. It was never meant to last forever. It can't work because. Reggie's already too deep into the dark arts, but having dated each other opens each of their eyes to a reality.
Regulus: Dating James plants a seed, that will one day grow into his betrayal of Voldemort. He cannot get there yet, but seeing the 'other side' is an important step.
James: Dating regulus open James' eyes to how bad blood supremacists actually are. This not only leads to him believing that the inevitable result is war, whereas he had previously hoped for a peaceful resolution, but it also gives him an insight into Sirius' home life, which eventually leads to him moving in with the Potters.
The reason this ship can never work out is that we know Regulus becomes a death eater and James Potter would not be okay with that. I think James would have thought he could change Regulus, but he couldn't stop him from getting the mark in the end.
When I read many Jegulus fics they always end up making it end with them together, and in a happy relationship, when in reality their relationship would have been unhealthy and had to end badly.
Rest In Peace Reggie Black. You would’ve loved the Song of Achillies😔
Sorry if you don’t like sad jegulus. I like it more when Reg survives and there’s awkward jegulily moments.
My jegulus breakup:
Regulus gets the mark. He knows that he has to break up with James now, he can’t keep telling himself he deserves to be with him.
James is confused, they were doing just fine. Sure, Reg had been distant for a few weeks but his kisses carried the same passion as before. Was he the problem? Was he not good enough?(Let’s be real here James would blame himself) James demands to know why but Reg just keeps telling him they can’t be together. “I thought you loved me. What happened?” James asks through his tears.
Reg freezes. Of course he loved him, how could you not love James Potter? The problem is that he didn’t want James to love the waste of space he is.
He is desperate to have James’ love. It’s the only love that didn’t take more than he could give.
He needs James’ love. Craves it. Done what he could to be worth it.
But he doesn’t want it. It hurts too much. It hurts having to disappoint another person who means everything to him. It hurts having to show him the mark. To watch his face change. To see his eyes fill with betrayal. To have him straighten his stance and walk away.
Regulus can’t let James leave not knowing. “I do love you”.
James looks at him for a moment and says “I guess it just wasn’t enough, was it?” That’s the last thing he says to Regulus.
He wished James never loved him. But he wished more than anything that James never got to have his heart broken by someone as worthless as him.
James never once thought that. Regulus was ethereal. He was burned into the back of his eyelids and carved into his skin. There was nothing in James’ life that didn’t trace back to Regulus. He was simply, unforgettable.
Priceless.
Which is why it hurt so much more watching Regulus go down the path he thought he would be able to save him from.
So I’ve been thinking
Quidditch car wash fundraiser
I don’t know why they would ever need the money or why they would wash muggle technology for it. But just ignore that.
The school would never allow them to be sexy because they are c h i l d r e n, but you know James and Sirius would be constantly wiping their brows with their shirts just to show off their abs.
Remus and Peter would handle the money but then Sirius and James would convince them to participate too. (Sirius just wanted to see Remus’ muscles at work)
All the house teams would have to do it which causes a lot of problems. They would constantly be spraying water at each other, throwing rags and sponges, fighting over the music, and too many people would end up with soap in their eyes.
All the pure bloods (regulus) would be terrified of touching a muggle device that’s “sure to explode at any moment”. Regulus would end up getting put on money duty. Since he doesn’t know how muggle money works people severely under pay. He was also incredibly distracted by the show the practically shirtless James was putting on.
The minute the last car was washed James and Sirius would take off their shirts just to show off. Remus and Regulus had a cardiac arrest at that point.
It would pretty much just be a shit show and they would never raise enough money. And everyone got to watch them all waddle back into the castle soaked head to toe looking like drowned rats.
