Remus: You are supposed to bang your fist against mine.
Regulus: Why?
Remus: I am told it is a widely accepted gesture for mutual success.

Sirius: I love it when you two impersonate normal people.
Brain dump
Okay, we all know that sound off TikTok that says something similar to "it didn't matter how many times he changed the introductions or rewrote the story Aaron always fell in love with her.... Everytime". Well my brain refers everything back to Jegulus and I'd quite literally die if there was a fic written in the similar format about those two oblivious in love 70's boys. So hear me out.
Regulus oblivated James after Christmas hols because he was forced into getting the dark mark and couldn't stand putting James in danger in case he stayed or hearing James break his heart in case he left so in a act of selfishness and bravery he oblivated him that night in the astronomy tower. What regulus didn't know was that James had fell in love with him third year. He fell in love with the stories Sirius would tell, the picture that Sirius would proudly show off, and the rude spiteful little boy who he only met a handful of time. In the fear of losing his best friend he raised his wand to his temple and muttered the obviate spell in front of the mirror out of pure childish stupidity. He realizes now that it could've gone terribly wrong if he lost control of is magic or didn't focus on what exactly he wanted to forget but now he knows that when you're young and you're not rehearsed in a spell the images and thoughts come back with time. It lasted till fifth year till he started to hang around regulus a lot under the disguise of trying to bring both black brothers together again. They dated in private in fear of regulus's parents only allowing close friends in on they're secret relationship until that fateful night in the astronomy tower.
Ik this is only thought up half way and there is 100% plot holes in this. But I honestly think it would be a grate read especially if after the war James ends up falling in love with him again. I headcanon that Reggie is trans so I think it would be cool if James had fallen in love with him before he transitioned and even more after without realizing it to show the whole "rewrote the story" aspect.
Jegulus snippet
Venturing out from the stairs he walks into the top of the tower. His lover turned towards the sky. For a silent moment he just observes allowing himself to fall even more in love. Finally regulus turns around eyes puffy and blood shot and within a second James is by his side.
"What's wrong love speak to me."
"I don't love you James" He says without look James in the eye.
"No" Caught off guard he backs up.
"James please I-I can't be with you I don't-I don't want you"
"Liar. Reg tell me what's wrong"
" No I don't-i don't love you. I no longer want to be with you"
" LIAR STOP LYING TO ME!"
" I'M NOT LYING!" He cracks. What's left of his stone cold walls drops the second he looks James in the eye to see tears already around the rim
"The truth Regulus"
"Fine you want the truth" Angry and frustrated he takes off his jacket and rolling up his sleeve revealing his forearm where the inked marked skin lays
"THERE! That is the truth I am a death eater! I am the thing you hate most in this world James I am evil!" Looking down at his lovers arm Regulus can see every emotion working it's way through James's face and and it ends with a face of indifference.
"Okay."
"Okay..." He can hear the gears in James's head turning
"They did this to you? They forced you to do this?" It may sound like a question but they both know it was a statement. The answer is already there.
"It doesn't matter" Because it truly doesn't no matter the circumstance they are still here in this situation. Hurting.
"Your a good person regulus"
"IM A DEATHEATER you can not love me anymore. I can't-I can't do this... us. I can't anymore" He knows he's speaking completely gibberish but his mouth is moving a mile a minute and he has no control. Why won't James just stop? Just give up and allow him to hurt in silence? To leave behind the best thing that has ever happened to him. Allow him to save the thing he loves most in the world from himself. And as if he spoke his questions aloud James opens his mouth. "No! Love is a choice reg and I choose you! I LOVE YOU! that is my choice and mine alone to make. "
" I'm a deatheater "
" I LOVE YOU! I will scream it until my throat is bloody and my lungs are empty. I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth! Between Voldemort and Dumbledore! I will tell you what you are! Do. You. Love. Me?!?"
" I LOVE YOU! The mo-the moment I saw you I have loved you desperately. I love you James my.. my heart calls your name"
Silence each of their minds processing the information, the emotions, and the devastation that both lovers feel. A moment after said silence they are in each other's arms. Mouths smashed together in a way that would be painful if it was not so deeply desired. A minute, a hour, or a life time could have passed by before they finally resurfaced.
"You love me?" James whispers with the most dopy smile
"I love you" regulus whispers back instantly
It's out now. Let the world hear it. Let tomorrow come and they will talk make plans. But tonight they hold each other.
