quidditch pitch - jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - a bit suggestive - word count: 225
"Where've you two been?"
Sirius's voice rang out clearly down the corridor, making both James and Regulus freeze. Though James immediately felt himself panicking, a cold hand pinched his arm for just a moment, reminding him to stay calm.
"Hey, Sirius," Regulus answered casually, turning to his brother like he was actually happy to see him. What're you doing here?"
Sirius, however, was not to be distracted. "James, why do you have- are those grass stains on your jeans?"
James looked down, horrified, to see that there were, in fact, green marks on both of his knees from when he'd been kneeling in the forest half hour earlier. He swallowed as he looked at the damning evidence, scrambling to think of an explanation. "We were-"
"Playing Quidditch," Regulus interrupted smoothly, face blank. "At the Pitch. I didn't realize you fell so hard, Potter, you ought to get Pomfrey to look at you," he said pointedly, eyeing James, who took the hint.
"Oh! Yes! Erm, I'll go right now," he nodded.
"I'll take you," Regulus agreed.
But as they passed Sirius, the Gryffindor yelled out suspiciously, "Did you fall too, Reg?"
Regulus turned, an eyebrow raised. "No...why?"
James saw Sirius's face and his stomach sank. He immediately knew they'd fucked up.
"Because you have grass stains all over your back," Sirius said slowly, eyes going wide.

Meeting Regulus
Set on Sirius' 4th year, Regulus' 3rd. First year back since his transition, Regulus sits with Sirius in their train car cuz he's not ready to face the Skittles yet.
Regulus: ...you sure your friends wont mind me sitting here?
Sirius: 'course not.
---Remus, The Casual One---
Remus, entering: Hi, Sirius.
Sirius: Hey, Remus.
Remus, noticing Regulus: Oh, hi... *recognizes him* Reg-
Sirius: Regulus, this is Remus. Remus, this is my brother, Regulus.
Remus: Brother?
Sirius: Yeah. Sorry, you two haven't offically met yet, have you? Three years in Hogwarts and I never introduced you two to each other.
Remus:
Regulus: Uhm, we've met actually.
Sirius: You have?
Remus: We have?
Regulus: Yeah. The library? You helped me get the books from the higher shelves?
Remus: ...Oh, right! Wow. You've grown much taller since.
Sirius: He has. He's almost taller than me.
Remus: Well, in case you don't know yet, I'm also your brother's friend and the one responsible with keeping him out of trouble
Sirius: HEY!
---Peter, The Friendly One---
Peter, entering: Hey, guys.
Remus: Hey, Pete
Sirius: Hey, mate.
Peter: *notices Regulus* Oh, hello. Who's he?
Sirius: Peter, this is Regulus. He's my brother.
Peter: I didn't know you had a brother.
Sirius: What are you talking about? He's been going here for three years. And I always talk about him
Peter: ...You do?
Sirius: Yeah.
Peter: ...Really?
Regulus: Well, you're in 4th year, I'm in 3rd so, we probably don't see each other often.
Peter, recognizing him: Oh, wait, I do see you around. Aw, now I feel bad. I didn't know you were Sirius' brother.
Sirius: Well, now you do!
Peter: Yeah, now that I look at you, you kinda do look like Sirius. Almost like carbon copies.
Sirius: Well, he got his looks from me
Regulus:
---James, The Dumbass---
James, entering: Gentlemen! Your 2nd best form of entertainment has arrived!
Remus: 2nd best?
James: Sirius already called dibs on being the first.
Remus:
James: Anyways, I am here, and I- *sees Regulus*
Regulus, watching out the window: *turns to look at James*
James' Perspective: flowers floating around, a halo floating on Regulus' head, light shining down just right, everything in slow motion, "Take my breath away" playing in the background
Sirius: James?
James: Peter, move *shoves Peter to the side and sits next to Regulus*
Everyone:
James: And who is this charming young prince sitting with us today?
Everyone:
Sirius: This is Regulus.
James: Regulus. A star that shines so brightly in the night sky. *takes Regulus' hand* And a fitting name for one who is undoubtedly *kisses his hand* a king.
Everyone:
Regulus: ...Siri...
Sirius: James. Let. Go. Of. My. Brother's. Hand
James, looks at Sirius then back at Regulus: To be continued. *kisses his hand*
Regulus: *pulls his hand away*
Train Attendant: Any of you fancy a snack, dears?
Peter: Oh! Fizzing whizzbees, please.
Remus: 2 Chocolate frogs, please.
Sirius: I'll take a pack of Exploding Bonbons. Reg, you want anything?
Regulus: Do they have Peppermint Toads?
Sirius: And a pack of-
James: We'll take the lot!
Everyone:
James, to Regulus: You can have all the Peppermint Toads you want and more, my prince.

Infatuated - regulus black, platonic!sirius
summary: your relationship with regulus pulls him and one of your best friends, sirius, closer together for the first time in years. a/n so i did forget to post this yesterday, but let's just look past that. wc: 0.9k+
For the first time in four months, Regulus and Sirius were sat in the same room, and it was all thanks to you. Regulus, oh so loving, had blindly come to your dorm to find you after his last class of the day in search of hugs and kisses. Sirius, on the other hand, had barged into your dormitory in hopes of you lending him a hair tie. Neither of them had found you, no, but they found each other. Regulus’s head had snapped towards the door from where he was laid on your bed, scanning through the novel on your bedside table. Sirius halted in the doorway, jaw slacking, the hand holding his hair up in a makeshift bun falling limp to his side.
Sirius felt the need to explain himself, not wanting to give his younger brother the wrong impression. “I, uh, I wanted to ask her for a hair tie.” Regulus nodded wordlessly, flipping onto his stomach and opening your bedside drawer, filing through the organised mess. With a proud hum, Regulus fished out a hair tie between his thumb and index finger, holding it out for Sirius. Sirius walked over to Regulus, pursing his lips in an awkward smile as he quietly thanked him, tying his hair back. The two brothers stared at each other silently for a long moment before Regulus finally spoke up. He felt as though he owed it to Sirius to let him know that he wasn’t taking advantage of one of his closest friends. Regulus sat up, swinging his legs off your bed and fiddling with his fingers as he stood up, announcing “I really like her, you know?” Sirius breathed out a laugh, nodding his head with a smile. “Yeah, I can see that.” Regulus chuckled nervously, bowing his head down to look as his feet as he added “And you know, I’d like to think she likes me too.”
Sirius shoved his hands into his pockets as he barked out a laugh, balancing his weight back and forth onto the balls and heels of his feet. “Yeah, you don’t have to tell me that.” Regulus furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, asking curiously “What do you mean?” Sirius’s eyebrows shot up in surprise at his brother’s genuine question, shocked that he didn’t realise the true extent of your feelings towards him. “I mean, the girl’s infatuated with you!” Sirius started, watching as a flush painted Reg’s cheeks. “Everyone can tell by the way she looks at you. And she smiles so much her cheeks look like they hurt.” Sirius took Regulus’s silence as a cue to continue. “You know, she tries not to talk about you too much to me, but I think she just can’t help it.” Regulus laughed shyly, trying to hide his ecstatic smile from Sirius, but the boy could clearly see his smile and was grinning back at him.
Sirius looked back towards the door as the room became silent again, announcing “Well! I’ll return this if I don’t lose it.” Regulus chuckled as a response, watching as the door opened. The only problem was that it wasn’t Sirius who had turned the doorknob. No, it was you. Your audible gasp thickened the tension in the room, but it was quickly broken down by the wide smile that immediately bloomed on your face, both brothers softening at the adoring look on your face. “Hey you guys!” You dropped your bag by the doorway, beelining to Sirius to press a kiss onto his forehead before making your way towards Regulus and opening your arms widely to engulf Regulus in a hug. Your boyfriend quickly glanced at his older brother before ducking down and wrapping his arms around your waist, shutting his eyes in satisfaction and he sighed. You pulled away slightly to press your lips to his, a hand traveling down to caress Regulus’ pink cheek.
“So, what were you two doing in here without me?” You asked, turning your head back to look at Sirius, your arms still loosely holding Regulus against you, though his arms kept you snug against him. “Burrowing a hair tie.” Sirius muttered guiltily, as though getting caught stealing. You didn’t wait for Regulus’s answer, having found him waiting for you in your dorm quite often, instead adding “Hey, are you boys coming to mine on Christmas eve?” You asked with a smile that pressured them both to accept your invitation despite the other being there. You turned back to look at Reggie, mumbling “Well I know you’re staying with me anyway, but is Sirius coming?”
Sirius furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, watching as you moved to sit down on your bed, Regulus following you like a lost puppy. “What do you mean?” “I’m spending the Christmas holiday at my lovely girlfriend’s house.” Regulus announced, a hand wrapping around your shoulder. Sirius let out a quiet ‘huh’, surprised that for the first time since his time at Hogwarts started, Regulus was not going back home for the Christmas holidays. Sirius wondered if the situation at home had gotten worse since he left. Realising he was staring silently, Sirius nodded, saying “Uh yeah, James and I are coming for sure. I’m not sure about the others.” Sirius nodded awkwardly at Regulus, spinning on the balls of his feet as he said a quick goodbye.
As the door slammed shut, you turned towards Regulus, pushing him back on the bed as you connected your lips in an eager kiss. “I’m happy you guys are getting along,” you muttered against his lips. “It’s cute to see you guys together.” Regulus rolled you over on the bed so he laid between your legs, resting his head on your chest as he thought deeply, finally saying. “I’m happy too.”

Part 3???
Remus: We've lost the plot, haven't we.
James: I'm very much on top of the plot.
Remus: We're in the library spying on our boyfriends.
James: It's not spying. We're making sure they're safe.
Remus: From who? The Ravenclaw quidditch captain?
James: You're free to leave.
Remus: As if I'm going to let that homewrecker anywhere near Sirius.
James: Good, because there's Benjy Fenwick, and he's headed straight for their table. Wait, where'd Reggie go-
Regulus: Have you both lost your minds? Spying, really?
Remus, startled but quickly refocusing: Not on you, on that harlot.
Regulus: Wow, Remus, I didn't think you thought of my brother that way but I suppose you're not entirely wrong.
James, shaking his head mournfully: And to think I gave you my blessing to date my best friend.
Remus: Obviously, I don't mean Sirius! And are you just going to throw me under the bus, Prongs?
James: Well there's no sense in both of us being in the dog house, is there?

WHY ARE THEY ALL SO CUTIEEE
MY HEART CANT TAKE MUCH MORE OF THISSS
"Luck" - Jegulus microfic @into-the-jeggyverse - 421 words
-
When James got back to his flat after his date, he felt so elated he could fly. He flopped down on the sofa next to Sirius with a blissful sigh.
“You look happy,” Sirius chuckled.
“My date was amazing,” James said dreamily. “He was mean at first because he was nervous, but then once we started talking about his interests and books he was just…wow. He was so smart, and he was beautiful, and I kissed him goodnight.
“I mean, at first, he was so guarded, and I was like, ‘Ugh, just my luck, he’s pretty but won't even talk to me.’ But then I asked him about books, and he started talking and he basically didn't stop the whole time. He was so…God, Pads, I don’t know.”
“Okay, okay, hold your horses there, Prongs,” Sirius laughed. “Do you even know this guy’s last name?”
James pondered the question for a second, before realising he didn't, and also realising that he needed to. He had to know what he’d be changing his name to when they got married, after all.
He took out his phone and sent a quick text to the guy: ‘Hey, no reason but what’s your last name?’
James felt, for a moment, that he might be acting too eager. But when the love of his life’s response came back within a minute, he knew he-
‘Black’.
There are a lot of people with the last name Black... It's a coincidence, he told himself.
“Er, hey Pads, this is…this is a funny coincidence,” James started, forcing a laugh. “His last name is Black."
Sirius, however, narrowed his eyes. “What’s his first name?”
“Regulus,” James told him, that dreamy look in his eyes returning.
“My fucking brother?!” Sirius yelled, grabbing a pillow and hitting James with it. “Of all the fucking people, you like my brother?!"
James shielded himself from the attack. “How was I supposed to know he was your brother?” He shouted, his voice slightly muffled by the hands protecting his face and glasses.
“His name is Regulus, Prongs!”
“So?!"
“It's a fucking star! How did you not know that?!” Sirius hit him every few words for good measure.
James received a text from Regulus, and with a guilty glance Sirius’s way, he picked up his phone.
‘I had a good time last night.’
Sirius was peering over to look at the phone screen and gasped. “For him that's basically a love confession.”
“Really?” James asked, beaming up at him.
Sirius hit him with the pillow again.

five - february 21 - black brothers - background jegulus - @black-brothers-microfic - cw: orion and walburga black are pieces of shit, but it's vague - word count: 613
Regulus Black had always been an insufferably serious person. Sirius always liked to joke that they'd been named incorrectly- Regulus was the one who never smiled, after all. But by the time he and Regulus escaped home at ages fifteen and sixteen, Sirius could only remember a grand total of five times that Regulus had really, truly smiled.
I
The first had, of course, been his first smile. Baby Regulus had been almost as emotionless as his teenage counterpart, hardly any tears or smiles, but the one time he had grinned, Sirius had caught it. And oh, it had been a sight to behold. A beautiful flash of gums followed by a little angelic giggle. Sirius's stomach had filled with joy as he'd smiled in return, so happy to see his baby brother happy.
Of course, it had been cut off quickly, when Mother had yelled so loudly, Regulus had started to cry.
II
The second time had been when they were small. Regulus had learned quickly that emotions weren't tolerated in the Black household and was a master of hiding them. But once, while they were hidden away in Sirius's room, reading a book that he had stolen from the local Muggle library, Sirius had caught it: the fleeting glimpse of glittering eyes and shining white teeth as Regulus had listened to Sirius read to him.
The feeling of seeing his brother smile had gotten him through insufferable meals for moths after.
III
The third time was when Sirius came home from his first year at Hogwarts. It had been so long since they'd seen each other, and though Sirius had written weekly, he'd felt like there was a gaping chasm in his chest where Regulus ought to be. So when a very stoic-looking Mother and Father greeted him on the platform, he ignored them. He instead focused on Regulus, who grinned from ear-to-ear, pulling him into a hug.
That hug and that smile helped him through one of the worst summers of his life.
IV
The fourth time was, of course, when Regulus got his own Hogwarts letter. Eleven-year-old Regulus looked like he was going to cry with happiness when he opened the thick envelope, and Sirius wanted to cry with pride along with him.
Of course, Mother and Father immediately ruined it by reminding Regulus that he better be a Slytherin 'or else.'
V
The fifth, and most recent, time was when Regulus had caught the Snitch in his first school Quidditch game, winning for Slytherin.
Sirius knew he was supposed to be rooting for Ravenclaw, but he couldn't help himself: seeing his brother smile like that made him scream his head off, pride swelling in his chest as he watched Regulus lifted on the shoulders of the other players.
+1
But now...now they were here. Showing up at the front door of the Potter residence in the middle of the night after what could only be described as the most horrific week of Sirius's life. He expected Regulus to be even more closed-off than usual. He expected him to maybe even cry, or scream.
But when James opened the door, and he and Regulus locked eyes...
Regulus broke into the biggest, most adoring, relieved smile Sirius had ever seen. And he watched as his brother rushed into James's arms, gripping him tightly like if he didn't, he would disappear.
And in that moment, Sirius realized that while he was a bit annoyed that he hadn't been told about something (because he was smart enough to know that friends didn't embrace like that), he absolutely didn't care. Because anyone who made Regulus smile like that was absolutely perfect for him.

"Grimmauld Place" - Black Brothers/Jegulus microfic @into-the-jeggyverse - 539 words
@abductedhiko
-
This was Sirius’s worst nightmare. He had hoped that, after running away, he would never have to come back to this place. For the first three months that the Order used 12 Grimmauld Place as Headquarters, Sirius did not go into his brother’s old room. Sometimes, though, he would spend hours just sitting outside of it.
At first, all he felt was angry. Angry at Dumbledore for caging him in the exact place he’d struggled for so long to escape from, angry at his brother for becoming what they’d both promised not to become, angry at his parents for keeping him trapped here.
Then, he reached for the doorknob. And it was as though just opening the door pulled all of the anger out of him and replaced it with this smothering, heavy sadness, that was probably long overdue. He’d never really allowed himself to mourn Regulus. He had been a Death Eater, Sirius had been fighting against people like him in the war; he couldn’t mourn a person like that. But sixteen years had passed, and Regulus was still Sirius’s little brother. Eternally so.
Stepping into his younger brother’s bedroom, he felt a wave of nausea overcome him immediately. He pushed through it, approaching the loose floorboard where he knew Regulus had hidden things when they were children. He pulled it out and found a small box.
Inside of the box were photos from Regulus’s days at Hogwarts of him and his friends; his friends who Sirius knew had stuck by his side until the day he died. He did not let himself mourn them as well. He didn’t think there was enough of him to grieve anyone else, not with everything he had lost.
At the very bottom of the box, buried underneath photographs, poems, notes passed in class, and relics of Sirius himself, was one more photo. Sirius felt the air leave his lungs.
Written on the polaroid in Regulus’s neat handwriting was, ‘The love of my life, taken 3 March 1977.
The two in the photo were not moving, as the photo having been taken with the muggle camera that James got for Christmas in Seventh Year, Sirius was sure. He hated James for it, just for a moment, for insisting on using that godforsaken camera instead of a magic one. They weren’t moving. Why weren’t they moving?
Sirius had not seen his brother looking so happy since years before the photo was taken. But he was beaming at the camera, James kissing his cheek with an arm wrapped around his shoulder. All of Sirius’s emotions were warring inside of him; confusion, curiosity, sadness, disappointment, bitterness. What was one to feel when finding out that their dead brother and dead best friend had been in a relationship?
Sirius supposed the sadness was the first to envelop him. His tears stained the photograph.
“Sirius?” A voice called from behind him.
He turned to see Remus standing awkwardly in the doorway. Unsure of what else to do, he held up the photograph. Understanding dawned on Remus’s face, and Sirius wondered if he’d already known. It didn’t matter to him anymore.
“Why didn’t they tell me?” Sirius asked quietly. Remus said nothing. There was not much that could be said.

“i was scared indigo, but i wanted to.”
“don’t wanna fight but your mother insists.”
“i just wanna be apart of your family.”
“and i don’t wanna talk about anything.”
“weren’t we the stars in heaven?”
“yeah, you held me the whole way through.”
