no cuz i saw this and just KNEW it was otb. so lovely:,)

They never had time in their favor, and Regulus knew that, so he tried to enjoy as much and as deeply as he could the very little universe they created.

James couldn't accept a world where they couldn't be together.

The saddest part is they both flew so high, the drop killed them.

I'm so much on my jegulus feels, I'm reading Only the brave by @solmussa, and I haven't cried this hard in a long, long time. (I love it so much).

My second comeback is violent, sorry 🫶

[ricochetyears]

love that hc where james doesn’t really like being called “jamie” but goes absolute stupid when regulus calls him that. i mean, in general, he’s all so grumpy and frustrated that no one bothers to just add a fucking s to “james”, but whenever reg says it so casually like “thank you for the tea, jamie” or “no, i’m not busy, jamie” or “that’s alright, jamie” his mind just goes lalala i’m so in love hihi

Rereading "Only the brave" from @solmussa got me crying in my bed at the break up i knew was coming since chapter 1.

I HATE IT THERE THIS IS MY FAVORITE FIC EVER.

[valkyraine]

do y’all remember the scene from only the brave where james was captured by death eaters?

now, imagine james potter, bloodied and battered barely clinging to consciousness—sprawled out on the floor, saying something similar with river’s line on doctor who, where she goes: “god knows where he is right now, but i promise you, he’s doing whatever the hell he wants & not giving a damn about me! and i’m just fine with that….. and if i happen to find myself in danger, he is not stupid enough or sentimental enough and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me!”

even on the verge of passing out, he still manages to gloat, mock, and taunt voldemort, laughing at the sheer futility of the entire scheme. with absolute certainty, he claims that it’s all been for nothing because regulus black doesn’t give a damn about him. he says it with so much conviction, completely unaware that regulus is already planning on bargaining his life in exchange for james’ safety.

then fast forward to weeks after they defeated voldemort, and regulus is no longer under the influence of legacy’s magic, out of nowhere, regulus will be struck by a memory of: james writhing in pain under the cruciatus curse, so sure that regulus wouldn’t come for him. the weight of it hits him like the curse itself, sharp and unbearable. it hits him so hard that he immediately apparates to james quidditch practice, needing to shower him with all the love and affection he can muster. he is set on erasing any doubt james ever had, and prove how much regulus would willingly set the whole world on fire if it meant keeping james out of harm’s way.

p.s. by imagine, i meant: someone pls pls write an au of that particular scene in “how to save a life” chapter in only the brave 🙏 i am BEGGING! GROVELING! this scene has been stuck in my head ever since i heard that audio & i need my brain scratched

rating: G tags: getting together, fluff prompt: Love is what makes you brave. @steddielovemonth

Knowing Steve, Eddie's decided, has been one of the greatest things to ever happen to him. All the shit he put up with a kid growing up, all the stupid high school bullcrap, the hell dimension of government conspiracies laying dormant beneath his feet: all of that doesn't matter because now Eddie has Steve.

Well... Has Steve in his life. Has Steve's friendship. Has him in casual touches, in inside-jokes, in silly matching friendship bracelets that Robin made them.

Steve isn't Eddie's. Even though Eddie is Steve's. Because Steve does have him, in every possible way. And Eddie doesn't mind that it's unbalanced—he could be happy like that for the rest of his life. He would be best friends with Steve until they're old and sitting in the nursing home and playing with Steve's grandkids.

It doesn't stop Eddie from wanting though. From dreaming. From pretending about some unreachable future where he gets to wake up to Steve, gets to eat meals with Steve, gets to drive Steve around and complain about his music and eat all the food Steve cooks and tell him how handsome he is each time he smiles.

Eddie's not a kid anymore though. Dreams don't fuel him like they used to, don't drive him to reach for bigger and better things.

Instead, Eddie has something else that makes him braver.

"Hey," Eddie says, a little breathless, hands sweating around the horribly expensive roses he's got clutched to his chest.

"Hey!" Steve echoes, surprised and flustered and confused.

"Is this a bad time?" Eddie might be an idiot. Steve's in sweat pants and a lumpy sweater, a handmade thing that Eddie recognizes from one of El's hobby experiments. He looks so cozy, and Eddie would be happy being Steve's friend the rest of his life, but that doesn't stop Eddie from wanting.

"N-No, not at all," Steve says, and his eyes are caught up on the roses in Eddie's hands. "Wha— Is everything okay?"

Eddie might be an idiot, but he still knows Steve, knows all his tells: the way his ears are pink, his eyes wide and hopeful, his hands running though his hair nervously.

"Yeah," Eddie breathes, the tension releasing his spine, leaving him instead with a growing bubble of warmth in his chest. Eddie's only felt this brave a few times in his life. He grins, giddy, and asks, "Can I come in?"

Steve's answering smile is just more wind beneath Eddie's wings. "Of course," he says in a breathy whisper. "I always want you here, Ed."

Eddie leans in close, too close still for a darkened doorway in the middle of Hawkins, Indiana. But Eddie is Steve's and Eddie will always be caught in Steve's gravitation, will always want to be as close as Steve will let him.

And Steve rewards Eddie's bravery by leaning in just as close, meeting him halfway, so that Eddie can whisper in the shared air between them. "Good, because there's no where I want be, unless it's with you."

I HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO JEGULUSISM. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

In case you’re wondering, the culprit is Only The Brave

[ricochetyears]

really love the idea of regulus being oh so mean and cold and detached in his human form but a cutie patootie in his animagus form (little kitty). like he just curls on james’ lap and purrs and meows and licks his cheeks and bites him gently and nudges him with his rosy little nose and

Who would of thought that almost falling off a roof could be so sexy
