“jegulus would never work in canon because james wouldn’t do something like that to sirius”

and why exactly james’ character is about sirius?

Songs I think scream Regulus Black (I will add more over time)

I can’t handle change - Roar

Burning pile - Mother Mother (specifically in Choices)

Coraline - Måneskin

Can you feel my heart - Bring me the horizon

The winner takes it all - Abba (jegulus)

Do me a favour - Arctic Monkeys

Work song - Hozier

Sign of the times - Harry Styles (some of the lines are actually arguments they had had and “stop crying baby it’s the sign of the times” is actually something Sirius would say to Regulus when they were little it’s a whole thing)

My eyes adored you - Frankie Valli (I just think he would’ve really liked this song)

No lights on the horizon - Metric (jegulus)

Another sad love song - Khalid (also specifically Choices)

Do I wanna know - Arctic Monkeys (Jegulus)

Planets of the universe (demo) - Stevie Nicks (listen to it once and tell me you don’t hear Regulus singing it)

Fake you out - Twenty one pilots (yes I was a stan what about it)

Lust to love - The Go-Go’s (James’ pov of Regulus in Carpe Noctem)

Aircatcher - Twenty-one pilots (specifically chapter 33 of carpe noctem)

You’re gonna go far, kid - the offspring

When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars (Reg’s feelings towards Jily)

Losing my religion - REM

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.

I feel like Sirius drinks fruity cocktails while Regulus drinks wine. They both like to act like classy motherfuckers when drinking. All their friends have seen them sloshed out of their minds at some point so none of them take them too seriously.

And when they’re drunk Sirius will turn to anyone and start screaming, “I love you so much you’re so pretty, not as pretty as Moony but no one can be as pretty as Moony. He’s my boyfriend by the way, you HAVE to meet him. Where’d you get your shirt? Can I try it on? Yes right now. OH HI JAMES!!!!!”

Regulus just sits in the corner giggling the whole time. When he sees James (and/or Barty if you like) he just openly stares at them. Like, wide eyed, open mouthed, hands holding his cheeks staring.

How the marauders + reg and lily tied their shoes

James: tied them around his ankle. He also wore Velcro shoes because he thought they were more fun. (He also had rollerblades and Mary taught him to skate)

Sirius: didn’t tie them. Ever. Like a fucking psychopath. He would make a show of not doing it whenever someone told him he should tie them. He also had light up shoes and heelys. (Imagine almost getting decked in the hallways because some dumbass didn’t know how heelys work.)

Remus: tied them normally. He’s not about to lose the circulation to his foot or eat shit because he couldn’t tie his shoes properly. They’re just shoes to him (but he also definitely wrote book quotes or song lyrics on the sides)

Peter: tied them with a bow tie knot cause that’s how he learned it and just never broke the habit. He would always change the shoelace color to whatever he was feeling that day. (They were always super funky)

Regulus: had the slip on fancy shoes. Never learned how to tie laces. (Was really insecure about it). Sirius also gave him a pair of stilettos as a joke gift and Reg set them on fire.

Lily: tied them normally. Was really smug whenever pure bloods didn’t know how to. Wore a bunch of sandals and flip flops.

Hi new mutual 🥰 hope you’re having a great day

Omg hi✌️ I’m admittedly not having a good day but I hope your’s is great I love your work😘

What did I do in my past life to deserve not having an enemy to fight with until we keep getting put together for things and see that while both of us have our flaws we actually are humans with emotions and suddenly we like spending time with each other but neither of us would admit to that and when we fight it’s explosive but we always make up and when one of us gets hurt the other goes still and quietly asks ‘who did this to you?’ and then beats the shit out of that person and don’t even get me started on the staring-

**this is my own take on Regulus. Literally none of this is canon.

One small difference between other death eaters and Regulus is how they react to people wanting to join the death eaters.

A younger slytherin comes up to them and tells them they want to become a death eater too.

People like Barty and Snape are fully supportive. They tell them all about the glorious things the Dark Lord has done. Tells them they will have to work hard to gain such an honor and he will be waiting to see them at the next meeting.

Regulus tells them they are making a huge mistake. They will be used as a pawn in Voldemort’s game and, if not willing, forced to kill. He would say it isn’t worth your life.

He tells that kid every horrific thing he’s seen or heard about (he’s still in school so he hasn’t participated in it yet). Better to be scared than dead. He makes sure they don’t want to participate in the war at all.

They are all death eaters, they all support Voldemort and have seen the unspeakable things that have been done. But Regulus knows when he’s being manipulated, and he’ll be damned if he let someone be in the same position as him. It’s too late for him, he’s too deep in the war. He realizes it never mattered what they were fighting for, people are dying no matter what they believed in. He doesn’t want to contribute to that number more than he has to.

I know people probably already hc this but what if while Sirius learned ballet, Regulus learned how to ice skate.

Sirius loved ballet but couldn’t skate for shit meanwhile Regulus learned how to do all the tricks and flips and stuff (I don’t skate I have no clue what the lingo is)

So whenever the lake was frozen over he would go super early in the morning and practice what he only got to do a couple months a year.

James, being the maniac who gets up at five in the morning to go for a jog, is one of the only people to actually see Reg skate.

At first he couldn’t see it was him and thought ‘this dude’s gonna fall on his ass trying to ice skate in the dark’. He couldn’t make out much but was mesmerized by the figure who moved so elegantly on the ice.

He would only realize it was Regulus an hour later when the sky finally started to lighten up. Regulus was taking off his skates when he looked up and saw James fully facing him (away from the jogging trail). They both stayed silent until James whispered ‘bloody hell’ and speed walked back to the school.

Every morning they would see each other, maybe nod, exchange pleasantries, until one morning. The ice was too thin to skate on and Regulus certainly wasn’t going to risk it, so instead he joined James for his early morning jog. It shocked James, and if Regulus was being honest, it shocked him too. They ended up having a really nice conversation. That was the morning they both realized they had a crush on each other.

I genuinely hope people look through my bookmarked fanfics on ao3 and find something they like.

No that’s literally it.
