carina's 2k celebration

cw: fem!reader, references to black brothers trauma

this is james and sirius' best dream and worst nightmare handed to them on a platter

james' sibling dating regulus is literally something they have been dreaming, scheming and plotting of for years – "this is our chance to become brothers in law sirius!!!"

james' sibling dating barty crouch junior, batshit barty, the weird guy with the hair and the piercings and the tongue and the– please god no

"bubs please don't do this to me"

"i am not doing anything to you jamie, i'm just eating breakfast with my boyfriends"

"yeah, jamie, she's just eating breakfast with her boyfriends"

queue james and sirius having a joint seizure

though, i do think james eventually comes around, fuelled by that potter love and family loyalty, and he drags sirius with him into acceptance by the ear

while they might still grumble and sirius most definitely fakes throwing up at least once a day, they don't protest to barty going everywhere with them

(because barty is the only part of this they have a problem with)

(mcgonagall considers this karmic justice as she watches it all unfold in the great hall every day)

as for the couple itself, i think potter!reader and poly!bartylus would be a surprisingly healthy love story, despite the inevitable chaotic conception

firstly, the potter love is strong in reader and for you to shower them both in it would be a truly healing endeavor

the slytherin skittles have a lot of love to go around between them, but there is something about that brighter-than-the-sun, devoted, blinding, all-encompassing potter love that i think would just burn right through them and trigger every healing process

(much to both boys' initial fear and confusion)

secondly, the chaotic energy of someone who has grown up with james and been raised by effie and monty is the only one that can possibly match barty's unhingedness and adhd bursts

a potter!reader would also be rather grounded in a way that would help regulus keep barty managed – because that's an all-hands on deck type of situation

the dynamic in this trio would thus be rather balanced; equal parts fun, love and safety

not to mention that a potter!reader would be able to keep up with regulus and barty's verbal sparring – both regulus' jargon and academic debate-style and barty's snide comments and silly jokes

there are so many backgrounds for their dynamic that would make sense to me, so it's quite fun to play around with

i can see reader being affectionate to regulus because of sirius and him either being really fond of it or really adverse to it

depending on how resentful he is towards sirius and james at the time and how heavily he's clinging onto denial

either he's noticing her and feeling a warmth he can't quite explain OR he feels pitied or misunderstood and tries to run away at the sight of her

in the former case, barty would not want to be spending time with a potter voluntarily and tries to fight regulus on it until he meets you and becomes infatuated himself

in the latter case, barty would pick up on regulus' hesitance immediately (because he spends most of his time studying reg anyways)

and thus, both in a genuine attempt at helping him face reality and because he thinks it's hilarious, barty would be the one to seek out potter!reader when he's with regulus

thinking it will be a friendship for laughs but then oh. oh no. she's captivating.

alternatively, i can also see potter!reader seeing barty running around the castle being an absolute menace and going "that one. i want him."

(queue james pulling out his hair and marlene being concerned but still cackling loudly at the situation)

(because marlene would be a quasi-sister to potter!reader)

barty might at first lean into your attention and be like "haha this is going to mess with (james) potter so badly"

and then not even two minutes into talking with you he goes "fuck. it's going to mess with me"

it gives you and opportunity to get to know regulus outside of the whole situation with sirius and james and allows you to see him in a new light

when you're with barty and meet regulus, he's not somebody's traumatised little brother, he's the sarcastic and witty best friend – and that would do something to you

either way, bartylus have been in love for years on end without ever truly realising or acknowledging it

it's when potter!reader gets involved (in whatever way) that they understand "oh we're not just best friends, we're Best Friends, we're let's-spend-our-lives-together friends, which really is not friends at all"

(someone is bound to make comparisons between bartylus' and prongsfoot's belated realisations, and regulus will have to be held back from biting that person's head off)

the dynamic just works

chaotic but so passionately loyal

and we all know poly!bartylus would just be obsessed with her

mhm yeah i enjoy this. good food.

Bottom Reg hc’s?

REGULUS BLACK BOTTOM HC | +18 ONLY

• Like a big puppy when you first start dating, a lot of play fighting and sexy bites

• He has always had to fight for everything in life, so during sexual relationships he just relaxes and lets the other person command everything

• He likes having his hair pulled and finds the idea of hickeys somewhat sexy during the act.

• Also often wears collars and accessories that highlight his femininity (of which he has a lot)

• (before Barty) he has a clear rule of not sleeping with anyone who is wearing perfume (he has sensitivity to smells and affective memory)

• His favorite position in bed would definitely be on all fours, but Barty and Evan got him hooked on doing it standing up (for a quickie anywhere)

• (in the case of a Regulus ftm) he always prefers to kill him wearing a t-shirt, even after having had a mastectomy

• Their first time when Barty suggested they have a flexible relationship, he panicked and left the boy's dorm and ignored him for weeks after that

• When he was younger, vehemently believed that he would die like a virgin, as he wouldn't have the courage to show his body and scars to anyone (I won't even tell you lol)

• He could cry if he was praised with something like “You do that so well” or “You are so hot” (proven but no details for now)

• And he would actually use some BDSM objects, but prefers to keep it a secret from his boyfriend and Evan for safety

I think that's all for now hahahahah ;P

barty and regulus would be menaces on dress to impress. like serving top tier cunt. divas.

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Regulus would be the type to write fanfics but completely be in denial about it Like:

Barty: Regulus is writing fanfics again

Regulus: They are not fanfics, I am simply writing some poems and stories about my favorite characters.

Barty: That’s what fanfic means.

Regulus: Shut the fuck up you don’t know shit!

Barty: you make them all gay!

Regulus: THEY ARE GAY IN CANON TOO!!

[chaosgremlinlivinginyourwalls]

regulus blacks real laugh is a snorty giggle and no one can tell me otherwise.

[a-great-tragedy]

Bartylus but they meet at a psych ward and do arts and crafts together

[writtenicarus]

you know, i totally get that people want to stick to regulus being tough and cruel because we have softened him too much, and i agree at the most part, but i also feel like regulus is so sensitive. he was a caring, loving child, the complete opposite of who he became. so within that, if you find a way in, he becomes just as sickenley loving. he cannot bare anything casual. he loves with his whole being. consumes. engulfs. he sleeps with stuffed animals. he needs barty to hold his hand when he panics in class. he is, in the words of mistki, a tall child.

i see so much of "jily is married but regulus had a silly crush on his brother's married best friend" but what if it was the opposite?

jily is married, bartylus is married (having tryst w evan now and then) but lily knows james has that silly crush on regulus forever because his type is mean ppl and she loves to tease him about regulus for years and one time they got together at family gathering (maybe christmas week?) and lily dropped the bomb at the table "yk james had that crush on you when we were back at the school, right regulus?"

now james is spitting his drink, regulus' jaw on the floor, sirius has the most frightened expression on his face because he did not know that, barty and evan is looking each other amused because well, well. i guess they didn't bully james and his squad for years for nothing.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

I love the old marauders

I love the new marauders

I love an au where jily comes after jegulus

The one that jegulus comes after jily

a jily au with no jegulus

a jegulus au with no jily

Marylily with or without jily

Pandolily

And generally any possible ship that I feel comfortable with

So many different headcanons in so many different AUs

Different characterisations in different fanfics

I sometimes would read something that isn't usual for me just to do it

I love any new changes and headcanons just as much as the old ones

I have nothing to fight against and at this point I just generally LOVE anything about marauders because its so important to me

And I really don't know how some peaple don't experience marauders like this

It's wonderful!!

I LOVE Black brothers using sign language to communicate with each other, but imagine Black Brothers blinking in Morse code to communicate without being notice by anyone

[moonyandtoasts]

Beauxbâtons Reg 🤍

[crescenthistory]

more bartycore

[evvvangeline44]

I hate that headcannon thats like Regulus died without anyone knowing why, Pandora died trying to pay tribute to her dead best friend, Evan was killed for a cause he didn't believe in and Barty was left alone again to go insane without his star, moon, and sun. yk???

[conangray-marauders-fest]

While I do love the (main) characterisation of Barty Crouch Jr in this fandom (he livens things up for sure) I had a different way of thinking of him.

First of all, I always thought he'd be a ravenclaw (some fics do have ravenclaw Barty which I loveee) that boy got 12 owls, he was a proper nerd.

In most fics (that I have read at least) Barty is a bit of a 'crazy guy' who is doing everything he can to piss off his dad. While I think this is accurate, I think this happened a lot later - not during his Hogwarts years.

The way I picture Barty is a golden boy - perfect grades, prefect, never gets in trouble, friendly, his teachers like him. However, even though he does all of this, he's still not good enough for his father. I think Barty would spend most of his teenage years trying to live up to his dad's expectations - its only when he leaves school and goes into the world that he realises he doesn't need to do this.

I think that that is when Barty would of flipped out. I mean, at the trial, Crouch Senior is in shock - he never expected this of his own son. Sirius even says in gof "he might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time" - if Barty had been a rebellious nutcase at school, Sirius would probably not have had such doubts of Barty's guilt.

I like the storyline of Barty being a quiet, studious ravenclaw at school - following in his father's footsteps - and only when leaving school does he realise that his father doesn't see him, will never truly see him, so Barty falls in with the death eaters. To quietly, but surely, do the absolute worst betrayal he could think of - become the very thing Crouch Senior is fighting against.

Just. Thoughts?? I think this would make his character very interesting, but I've never really seen him portrayed that way. (Any fic recs??) I mean, even in atyd he's a total dick who's attacking muggleborns. I really think Barty would be a star student who turns sour when it's least expected.

Barty trying to encourage Regulus at the club: cmon shake what your mother gave you

Regulus: *sits down and starts bouncing his leg aggressively*
