nothing fades like the light by rollercoasterwords

Something to read for you :)

A potion a day from The Black Apothecary

by ani_wahstan

Summary:

The Black Apothecary lies just on the border of Hogsmeade. Wizards and witches near and far come to stock their potions from Regulus’ shop. And business is good.

At the start of a new term, professors stop in for their needs, his brother and Remus included. But it’s an almost forgotten familiar face made new that makes today special, when a grown James Potter comes into the shop requesting something rather unusual. A potion to calm his heart and head. A request James would very much like to keep between the two of them. A business proposal. A secret.

As Regulus tries different iterations of the potion James requested, the two start to grow close through session after session of failed potions with strange effects. Regulus starts to fear the potion James needs is an impossible task, and that he will fail his new friend in his promise to help him.

Or, Regulus and James try a bunch of weird potions and fall in love in the process.

Welcome back to everyones favorite time of the month; Where I tell you all the favorite things I read on AO3 in the last few weeks!

Anyway, let's get into it!

i’ve also been obsessed with basically all of @rweoutofthewoods’s fics recently, specifically worst case kid and antipathy but all of them are wonderful <3

en avant by bluerosebouquet is one that sticks out in my mind as well.

and searching for a heart by moonysmidnightlibrary might be the cutest fic i have ever read.

i’m a sucker for fics with strong ties to music so meet telegraph avenue by ani_wahstan is one i absolutely adore.

daily jegulus fic rec :) 10/17/24 | wave from the shore under a golden moon by ani_wahstan

ch: 15 wc: 43,525

summary:

The Black family and the Potter family grew-up spending their summers at neighboring lake houses a few hours off the East Coast. Then one summer, James Potter stopped coming. Regulus can admit he was a little disappointed when his first crush suddenly disappeared from his life. But it's been seven years. He's clearly over it.

That is until his last summer before starting college, when that same golden-skinned boy steps out of the car, grown and beautiful, and crashes back into Regulus' world.

Writing Wolfstar as the main ship after writing only Jegulus for a longtime is so FREEING bc the dynamic is so different and it feels damn good.

Anyways

Snippet from this dark academia / magical realism AU

(Smut below the cut)

🌙

As if reading his mind, Sirius pulls Remus’ hand, wrenching his body in closer to him.

“I want you,” he finally resolves, meeting Remus’ eyes with an intensity of a storm breaking through the sky.

Remus starts to shake his head, fear and guilt sweeping in like a strong wind pulling leaves from dying trees. He stands, breaking their connection of hands. He rubs at the back of his neck, moving across the kitchen. He can hear Sirius pull a deep breath, thinking he’s going to be left suffering. Left reeling.

Remus stands at the barrier between the kitchen and the thin hall that leads deeper into his flat. He turns and leans in its doorway as Sirius waits by the kitchen island, his head hung before Remus’ voice snaps his attention up.

“Come on,” he says before turning down the hall, not giving himself or Sirius a chance to say more.

He waits just inside of his bedroom wall, arms crossed, the door still ajar as Sirius walks through. Sirius takes in the room with wide eyes. The large oil painting hung over a four-post wooden bed covered in cream-colored egyptian cotton. The centuries-old art strewn about. The eighteenth century trunk at the foot of the bed.

Sirius looks over at Remus and swallows.

“Get on the bed,” Remus says softly, but with a command that he knows Sirius will follow.

And he does. Like a perfect, obedient angel, he walks over and sits at the edge of the mattress. He places his hands in his lap, unknowingly offering his body in a way Remus rarely allows himself to want. Someone willing, eager, and compliant.

Remus moves toward Sirius, standing before him and towering over him as he sits quietly below him. He strokes his thumb up his cheek, his hand moving to his black hair. He pulls at the tie holding that perfect silky mess up and takes it out, letting his tangled waves fall. Sirius licks his lips in anticipation, and even that tiny act of want gives Remus quiet permission to continue.

He drops to his knees, tucking himself between Sirius’ legs. With both hands on Sirius’ thighs, he says the one thing he needs to say before they go any further.

“You tell me to stop, at any point, and it stops.”

A wry smirk makes its way to Sirius’ lips and Remus rises enough to kiss it away before gripping his jaw and forcing Sirus to look at him.

“Say you understand.”

The smirk turns to pressed lips, Sirius’ eyes’ narrowing. “I understand.”

Remus nods once and moves for Sirius’ belt, undoing everything and pulling his trousers and briefs down together so he can kick them off to the floor below. He places a soft kiss on Sirius thigh, a gentle hello. Even the brief contact of Remus mouth pulls a small sound from Sirius above him. The responsiveness lights Remus up from within, a long lost desire ripping to the surface so fast he has to actively work to keep it contained.

When he takes Sirius into his mouth, he revels in feeling the twitch and the hardness start to form against his tongue. Fingers immediately find his hair, gently pulling as he starts to undo the man in front of him.

“Fucking hell,” Sirius breathes out from above.

Remus risks one look up at Sirius through his eyelashes. Sirius’ mouth is parted, his eyes fixed between his legs. The absolute yearning Sirius is displaying in his tense stomach and rolling hips drives Remus to the brink of oblivion.

He’s so goddamn beautiful, and wanting. And Remus gives him every weapon in his arsenal. His mouth works Sirius over, soft and fast and warm. It only lasts a few minutes before the gentle tugging in his hair turns to a true, forceful pull. Remus is hauled from the floor. He stands as Sirius moves to undo his trousers, fingers slipping into the hem on his briefs and yanking them down as he stands on display and steps out of his clothing, kicking them away so fast they land on top of the trunk at the foot of the bed.

A sweet chuckle escapes from Sirius as he places his own teasing kiss on Remus’ hip bone. Sirius returns the favor, his height perfect to take Remus at an angle that has him hitting the back of Sirius throat with ease. Sirius gives almost better than he gets, if that’s even possible. He’s a force of nature, his nails digging into skin and his moans vibrating through Remus’ body.

The last hold Remus had on making this slow and careful slips away, the hum and buzz of their bodies melting into each other and creating a field of energy that has Remus pushing Sirius’ chest so his back is flat on the bed.

He crawls on, pulling Sirius’ jumper off his body and taking his own off with one knee on each side of Sirius’ waist. He tosses them on the other side of the bed, keeping Sirius pinned below him.

There’s a moment of hesitation, of shyness, as Sirius stares at the scar that runs from Remus’ chest to his navel. It’s brushed aside when Sirius sits up and runs his tongue along its route, his hands gripping into the dips of Remus’ hips as he travels down as far as he can from the odd angle. It’s unusual for Remus to feel revered like this. On the rare occasion he allows someone into his bed, he prefers to do the worshiping of his partner. Making sure every nook and corner of their body isn’t left untouched. Sirius Black seems to match him in this way, wanting to explore and discover and praise.

“You’re fucking beautiful,” Sirius says as he pulls his mouth from Remus’ chest. It’s too much to respond to, so Remus topples over onto Sirius, pressing his weight into him and feeling their bodies slot into an easy connection. He can feel every inch of him below him, the friction starting to create blindspots in his vision. How long has it been since he’s done this?

[sunchasingstar]

This fic is so good oh my god!! I’m loving James and Regulus’ relationship so far😭

[marigold-hills]

A Potion a Day by ani_wahstan

Absolutely wonderful, soft, happily ever after. Potioneer Regulus, Professor James ❤️

the worst thing about the jegulus fandom is that there are only like five fics people will recommend so if you’re looking for something new to read, you’re really going to struggle

[aniwahstan]

Prom Shopping: Jegulus, Wolfstar, Rosekiller

From the fic: Where the two creeks meet

✨

“It’s horrid,” Sirius says as he steps out from behind a velvet curtain.

Regulus has to actively hold back the chuckle trying to escape at the too short, too tight, too powder blue dress robes Sirius has tried to squeeze himself into.

“I think it’s perfect,” Barty says, stepping out in all white and ruffles. He does a little spin, to which Evan nods approvingly despite the entire outfit landing somewhere between outlandish and abrasive to the eyes.

“Remus!” Sirius shouts.

A disgruntled moan is the only response from the divided curtain next to Sirius. “Come on, let’s see it then!” Sirius continues to shout, tapping his foot impatiently.

Remus steps out in a bright yellow number, flared trousers, but a fitted cut that does nice things to his chest and his thighs. Sirius stares at his boyfriend, slowly scanning him from head to toe and back up again.

“Bloody hell,” Sirius says, a small whistle following. “Of course you look dashing on your first go.”

“You look -” Remus tries, but Sirius pins him with a look that screams not to finish the thought.

Remus throws his hands up, returning swiftly to his dressing area. Sirius wastes no time, pulling the curtain back. “I’ll help you undress,” he says as he pulls the curtain closed.

“Of course he will,” James says, appearing from thin air at Regulus’ size. “Did you find anything?”

Regulus nods, gesturing to the bag in his hand. James moves for it, but Regulus is quick enough to snatch it away.

“Oh, is it a surprise?” James’ eyebrows bounce with enthusiasm at the thought.

Regulus smiles shyly, letting James believe his own wandering ideas. He’d rather James believe it’s a cheeky little game than the reality that he’s never liked the way he looks in dress robes. Too thin and rigid and stiff.

When it’s James’ turn to reluctantly come out from behind the curtain, his sleek black trousers and matching jacket with a shiny grey tie sitting perfectly on every curve, there’s a long beat of silence.

It’s Peter who breaks it first, a whispered curse falling from his mouth.

“Fit, mate!” Sirius hollers, clapping his hands. Clapping . Like James just achieved something above being unfairly stunning in dress robes.

Of all the people to choose to love, Regulus had to pick the beauty king. The one everyone wants to look at and gawk at. The magnet of all eyes, of all attention.

Regulus feels his neck twitch in a strange motion, suddenly and rough, like a chill moving through his spine.

Love?

The word rolls through his mind, then sits on the tip of his tongue. As fast as when Barty crashed his car through the fence of the farm, all of Regulus’ walls explode into tiny particles, and the realization that he’s in love with this sunny, blatantly fit specimen of a man flows into his thoughts. Aggressively. Unwantedly. Horribly.

He’d once overheard his professor talking of heart palpitations. How his heart couldn’t quite find its healthy beat. It makes such clear sense as his own heart stumbles and skips to an uneven rhythm that sounds eerily like the timbre of James Potter’s laugh.

“Earth to Regulus Black,” he hears through the fog of his realization.

[aniwahstan]

Hey I'm literally so in love with your works on ao3 and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all your amazing work

I’m 🥹 so 🥹 speechless 🥹

Thank you so much this actually means the world

[aniwahstan]

In 1977, to protect the next generation of witches and wizards, Hogwarts sends all of its students into protection programs around the world. Students are to live with new families and exist as muggles until it's safe to return home.

James Potter refused to be split from his closest mates, and convinced Sirius, Remus and Peter to all accept transfer to America. In a small rural town in a state called Oregon.

When they show up to their first day of classes, James puts on the show of his life. Faking shock and surprise, as Regulus Black and his two troublemaker friends walk through their same corridors. Because Sirius had no idea - that James also convinced Sirius’ younger brother to come to this sleepy American town.

Hiding their magic, trying to blend in, all while a war wages across the world, will be the hardest challenge of their young lives.

Or, an AU where the Marauders don’t have to fight in a war, just the horrors of American high school in the 70s.

[aniwahstan]

The music continues even after he moves his hand away, continuing the notes just as he had played them. James rises from the bench, a hand extended to Regulus to follow his lead

"I assume your posh upbringing means you were also forced to take ballroom lessons?" James asks as Regulus takes his hand to stand before him.

James puts his best pleading eyes on, clearly expecting resistance. Regulus can't even bring himself to roll his eyes at the put on. James' face is too goddamn adorable that all he can manage is obedience. Only James Potter could convince him to consider an act so deeply trite as dancing alone in an empty ballroom with nothing more than an innocent glance.

Regulus follows James to the center of the room, the music echoing off the walls around them.

"I don't know how to follow," he admits as James takes his other hand into his.

"So lead," James responds. And Regulus does.
