When Sirius first started teaching Regulus how to prank people, Reg was really bad at it. Like... REALLY bad.

He switched the positions of two books on the bookshelf in the Slytherin common room and went round the whole day giggling evilly (Nobody noticed. Obviously.)

Bellatrix Black, who was never told “I love you” by her parents so she never said it to her sisters, either. She believed that actions spoke louder and those words weren’t needed (because if they were necessary, someone would have said them to her).

Andromeda Black, who was never told “I love you” by her parents or older sister but Bellatrix made sure she felt loved nonetheless, in a way Cygnus and Druella never did for either of them. Andromeda, however, did care about words. She hated that those three were a taboo in her house (especially because she knew the love existed).

Narcissa Black, who was told “I love you” by her sister, Andromeda, and only her. When she felt like she wasn’t like the rest of her family because of her name, it was Andromeda who made her feel special for being different rather than letting her feeling like an imposter. So it was when Andromeda was disowned that Narcissa stopped believing in those words, too. If the only person who said that was also the person who abandoned her, it really didn’t mean anything and her parents and Bellatrix had the right idea all along.

sirius was walburga & orion's favourite despite his rebellions and regulus wasn't paid as much attention despite his constant obedience - and they both hated this

regulus who dyed his hair from blonde to black to look more like sirius

narcissa who dyed her hair from black to blonde to look less like andromeda

Bellatrix, eating a meal: I poisoned one of our glasses… but I forgot which one. Regulus: The way this dinner is going, I pray to God that it's mine.

okay, but. imo sirius would not have walked onto the hogwarts express, picked out james potter, and said 'oh good, my parents will hate you.' he's eleven, and he hasn't been sorted into gryffindor yet - he's still very much in his parents' favor at this stage. baby sirius wants to do good and impress them; he's so sheltered that he's never even met someone who didn't uphold their beliefs. james is the first. i really think that being sorted into gryffindor broke baby sirius' heart, because he knows even then that it creates an irreversible divide between him and his mother. he befriends james not out of spite, but because he's james - he's nice, he's welcoming, and he's a kid. carelessly, james kicks his feet up on the bench, eats his food with his fingers, and lets his shirt go untucked. james is sirius' first taste of freedom, his first realisation that he can do things he isn't really supposed to, and still turn out a good person.

walburga comes to despise james potter not just because of his family's reputation, but because of the noticeable effect he has on sirius. it's like someone has taken her son and replaced him with a cheap copy: sirius burps at the dinner table, refuses to dress properly, and has started using foul language. worst of all, he writes to james. he talks of missing james. walburga has been desperate to get sirius back into her arms from the moment he left, because sirius is walburga's entire life, and it's becoming clear that sirius is destined for more. he's learning there is a life for him outside the walls of their house. sirius' existence is the culmination of her life purpose, and she is no longer her favourite person. she hates him for this.

the heartbreaking thing is sirius genuinely doesn't know why. he isn't trying to upset his mother, but he has to make friends, right? the slytherins won't talk to him, his cousins have shunned him, and he spends a lot of time around james. for a little while, he thought the gryffindor thing wouldn't be that big of a deal. parents are supposed to love their children regardless, right? this is where sirius begins to hate his mother, in turn: her love appears to be conditional. he seeks it from others, obsessively, to spite her.

my favourite horror movie? oh maybe bellatrix and sirius play fighting like children until she accidentally killed him by pushing him through the veil.

inspired by the painting ivan the terrible and his son ivan for @vulcajes

what IFFFF instead of sirius leaving regulus, regulus BEGGED sirius to get out. sirius was dying and he refused to die without his brother near him so he tried to refuse when regulus told him to go but then regulus pretended to turn on sirius. "I hate you" type shit so sirius left. really angsty shit ya know. CANON OR NOT WHO GIVES A FUCK NOTHING FROM THE MARAUDERS IS CANON I JUST THOUGHT THATS BE A COOL IDEA FOR EXTRA ANGST IN A FIC.

Remus, to Sirius: was it embarrassing for you when the class had to do family trees and yours came out a bush?

Marauders as things me and my friends said

[starkayezer]

SIRIUS BLACK they could never make me hate you.

[evvvangeline44]

sirius trauma made him loud, regulus trauma made him quiet

[deswhomst]

Just here to remind everyone that that canon Regulus Black was:

The youngest person to join the Death Eaters

The first person to discover Voldemort’s secret

The first Death Eater to betray Voldemort

"Roar" - Jegulus microfic @into-the-jeggyverse - 544 words

“Angel, breathe,” James said calmly and held back a chuckle. “It’s just for a few hours.”

“I’ve never been alone with her! I don’t know how to take care of children! It’s not like I had a great frame of reference, did I?” Regulus worried.

James was torn between the humour of watching Regulus race around nervously and the ache in his heart knowing Regulus didn’t realise how good of a parent he could make one day. He took a step forward and held Regulus’s waist, not tight enough that he couldn’t move away if he wanted to, but enough that he knew James was there for him.

“Firstly, you won’t be alone, I’ll be there,” James reasoned. “And secondly, you’re great with Nymphadora. If you weren’t, Andromeda wouldn’t be trusting you to take care of her. Why do you think she asked you instead of Sirius?”

“Sirius is incompetent, anyone would be better than him at taking care of a child,” Regulus replied, but melted into James. James knew this hadn’t fully stopped him from panicking. At least he wasn’t visibly shaking anymore.

When the two of them arrived at Andromeda and Ted’s house, the couple were rushing around, dressed up for their date but clearly not ready to go. “We may have misjudged how far away the restaurant is,” Andromeda explained as she did her makeup. “We’re running a little late.”

“You look so pretty, Mummy!” Nymphadora exclaimed, tugging on Andromeda’s dress.

Andromeda crouched down once she had finished her makeup. “Thank you, mon amour. Daddy and I will be back in a few hours, okay? But James and Uncle Reggie will be here with you.”

After Andromeda and Ted left, Regulus stood there nervously for a moment before sitting next to Nymphadora on the sofa, where she was drawing and clutching a dinosaur teddy. “Er, I like your teddy, Dora. What’s his name?”

Dora made a ‘roar’ sound, and Regulus bit his lip to hold back a laugh. “That’s his name?” Dora agreed proudly, to which Regulus gave a serious nod. When she looked away, Regulus smiled widely, a look reserved for James and James only.

James sat beside him and looked between the two, unable to keep the hope that bloomed at the sight. For a long time, Regulus had sworn he would never be a parent, sure that being raised the way he had been would make him terrible with children. This was not a dealbreaker for James, of course, who would have given up every dream he had ever had for Regulus’s sake. He just wished that Regulus’s aversion to parenthood did not stem from the thought that he could ever be anything like his own mother and father.

Later that evening, once Nymphadora was asleep and James and Regulus were waiting for Andromeda and Ted to get home, Regulus spoke quietly. “James? Do you…Do you think I could be a good parent?”

“I think you would be an amazing parent, angel,” James answered truthfully.

“Okay,” Regulus said, and did not ask anything more. James knew that he was still scared, terrified that he would end up just like his parents. But he was slowly coming around to the idea of children, and that was enough for James.

Sirius: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is staring at me weird.
