Sirius: You need to stop correcting me

Regulus: Then you need to stop being wrong

Jegulus - Muggle au

Sirius and James live together. Sirius is out of house half of the time and the other half, Remus is with him. When Sirius little brother comes to England from France, he needs a place to stay. He gets Sirius’ and James’ spare room, which was Peters until he moved out. It goes well, everything is good. And if James thinks Regulus French accent is kinda hot, that isn’t a problem. And enjoying Regulus being mean to him is totally normal, no matter what Sirius says. James can’t get any sign of what Regulus thinks of him. Regulus isn’t a fan of physical affection. Everyone knows that. He offers a hand when people try to hug him, he ducks when Sirius tries to ruffle his hair. So when they are watching a movie and Regulus rests his feet on his lap, James mind is fried. He doesn’t dare move, and the feet lay there the rest of the movie. A few days later, Regulus does it again, and when James carefully lays his hand on his ankle, the man smiles at him. James is going out of his mind. This must mean something, but what if it doesn’t?

Me and my older brother were always on opposite sides, very similar to the black brothers. I believe there is love there, at least a little bit, always, but that doesn’t mean the hate and anger goes away. They are not mutually exclusive.

siblings are messy and complicated btw! i cannot see another “if you think the black brothers hate each other then you don’t have siblings” post. siblings are messy and complicated. siblings are perfectly capable of hating one another. if you think that sirius and regulus somehow could inherently rise above the hatred and vitriol their parents instilled and encouraged in them just because they’re brothers then you are making both of them uncharacteristically virtuous

being a younger sibling and seeing black brother and black sister dynamics in fandom is not for the faint-hearted.

being able to relate to both narcissa and regulus is not for the faint-hearted oh my god

[regs-confessions]

Sometimes I genuinely feel sorry for people without siblings bc when they read about Sirius and Regulus they won’t feel that gut wrenching, heart clenching, absolutely crushing guiltdisappointmentanger over the complexity of their situation in the same way…

I never thought about it before but I understand what you mean. I also think it can be hard to understand how you can both hate someone and love someone so much. I think no matter how the story goes they have such a complex relationship to work through and it’s hard to understand “no one is allowed to hate my sibling but me” if you’ve never felt that.

Regulus Black, who was controlled by his fear. Regulus Black, who missed opportunity after opportunity to do something he wanted because he hadn't done it before, and he was too scared to try. Regulus Black who lay awake at night, regretting all the things he hadn't done, all the things he could have done but chose not to. All the things he wishes he had done.

Regulus Black who would listen to everyone else the day after a party talk about how epic it was, wishing he'd been there, knowing he could have been if he hadn't been so scared of showing up.

Regulus Black with barley any friends because he didn't dare make new ones. Regulus Black who was seen as cold and distant because he never spoke to anyone, or did anything.

Regulus Black, who had watched James since he was young, but never approached him. Regulus Black who never found out he could have had James, because he was always too afraid to try.

Regulus Black who stayed behind when his brother left because he was too scared of what would happen if his parents found them before they were out. Regulus Black who accepted the dark mark because he was scared of what would happen if he didn't.

Regulus Black who dared to be brave only once. Regulus Black who failed, but couldn't regret it, not really. Because at least, just this once, he'd tried.

Regulus Black who felt alive for the first time mere minutes before his passing. Regulus Black who died without ever living.

i’ve had a thought i need to share.

Walburga and Orion weren’t abusive, they definitely weren’t the best parents by ANY means they were neglectful and often Sirius and Regulus had to fend for themselves.

However, (walburga specifically) wasn’t particularly COLD to her children either. Strict on their behavior sure, but never abusive. (Orion would slightly hex them for misbehaving which definitely not good but not as bad as some characterizations)

But they were still bad people. Avid plood purists and voldemort followers, constantly teaching their children the same.

That’s why it took Sirius so long to leave (besides regulus ofc). He had to leave because he realized how wrong it was and if he didn’t he would be forced into voldemorts circle. (Sirius learned how wrong his parents were at hogwarts from his friends)

In fact, that’s why Regulus hated Sirius so much. He was so confused why sirius would leave when their parents were perfectly fine?? sure they weren’t around much and worshiped a man who wanted all non-pure bloods dead and- oh. That’s why… (it took regulus longer to realize as most of his friends were either pure blooded or never spoke about it)

…that’s it thank you 😇

new hc: sirius and regulus have slutty waists

[flower0930]

thank you so much for this information now i'll proceed to lose sleep over this

hi so actually sirius is the brightest star in the sky and it’s only outshone by the full moon, the iss and a couple planets but regulus is actually brighter than the sun it’s just really far away and this feels symbolic to me

[imseceracktlyspiderman]

two birds on a wire...

oh my fucking god... i just realized in the Marauders fandom Wolfstar (Sirius Black x Remus Lupin) is just like DCs Birdflash (Dick Grayson x Wally West) which would make Jegulus (James Potter x Regulus Black) the Marauders equivalent of Jayroy (Jason Todd x Roy Harper)

like hear me out Dick and Sirius both grew up really rich (though for Dick it wasnt till he was 9) and they're both really traumatized, meanwhile Remus and Wally had fairly normal lives but have something that makes their lives harder (lycanthropy for Remus and super speed for Wally) plus at an early point in their relationship one is pulled away (Wally getting trapped in the speed force an Sirius being imprisoned)

then Jason and Regulus both die young (though Reg doesn't come back) and they are both the younger brother with a more outgoing older brother, while James and Roy are the older brother's friend who has rich parents... honestly that's where their similarities end but it was a really funny realization

[theblackstar04]

The first time Regulus spent Christmas at the Potter’s (about two years after Sirius ran away) I feel like Regulus gives Sirius a journal on Christmas day, and it’s filled with every single letter Regulus wrote for him while they were separated.
