#i mean james would totally look at reggie like that

[sereinsea71]

sometimes regulus would smile so bright or even giggle, because james potter is really ridiculous most of the times, and james would look at him like this, like he is in awe, totally breathless and mesmerized…

smile again. don’t stop. you’re so beautiful.

please, don’t look at me like this, james. please don’t see me.

May 9; Weed

Ship; Sirius x Barty (bitchkiller)

@marauders-rarepair-fics

Sirius honestly couldn’t believe he was doing this. Going to Crouch for his much needed relaxation time. Honestly, Crouch and relaxation is the biggest oxymoron Sirius had ever heard.

But, well, desperate times desperate measures, and all that crap.

Crouch couldn’t believe it either, when Sirius came knocking out by the greenhouse, asking for some weed. It’s just that the Gryffindor guy got caught last month, slacking, smoking too much of his own supply or something. So Sirius hasn’t gotten high in over a month, and he just needs a break.

Especially from all that blasted studying Moony and Worms are doing, constantly it’s just scratch scratch scratch of quills on parchment, and flipping of pages, and humming. Oh, Sirius can’t stand the humming.

So yeah, he’s here now, getting high with Crouch because he remembered Regulus saying he delt. Because he didn’t want to get high alone, and James is on his date with Lily, and Mary’s on her date with Marlene, and Peter and Remus are studying (which Sirius would also like to dub a date since they spend all their fucking time together). And Crouch, whilst probably a psychopath, is actually funny sometimes.

Not funny in the way any of Sirius’ friends are funny. No, funny because he does dumb shit and says stupid things and Sirius can laugh at him. He honestly thought getting high with Barty would be amusing. Like a freak show or something.

But now he’s here, one and a half joints in, passing it back and forth with the bloke, and he’s actually enjoying himself. Somehow.

They’re judging people, sitting up on the stone wall and swinging their legs about, mocking anyone that walks past. They’re laughing together, not at each other, and surprisingly getting along.

At one point Reggie walked past and was instantly weirded out by them getting along, and so they both heckled the shit out of him and then spent five minutes laughing about it.

And Barty actually has some interesting things to say, and he’s much smarter than Sirius had assumed. When he popped the question as to why Barty wasn’t studying, he simply said he didn’t care, and that he didn’t study for his last exams and got full marks for all of them.

And a lot of the jokes he makes are actually quite intelligent.

And he’s not a total arsehole either. Maybe. Well, he’s definitely an arsehole, as they’re sitting here together making fun of people, but not a total dick.

He’s not being a dick to Sirius and that’s the main thing.

And he’s not bad looking. Okay, maybe that’s also a lie, he’s quite weird looking. But Sirius tends to like that. He’s captivated by his absurd lankyness, and his crooked smile, and knobbly fingers, and his scruffy eyebrows, and his hooked nose that he seemingly has had broken at least once.

And for some reason Sirius is wondering what he might look like with his clothes off.

It’s night now, and the castles dark, and everyone’s gone to dinner. Sirius is hungry, and he can hear Barty’s stomach rumbling too. They haven’t had anything to eat (besides that half packet of crisps Barty stole from a third year) since they started smoking, and are really starting to feel it.

But suddenly they’re alone, and the air is warm, and their inhibitions are lowered, and Barty’s looking at him.

He’s looking at him.

“Would you punch me if I kissed you right now?” Barty asked, catching him off guard.

“Do you want me to punch you, if you kiss me?” Sirius asked back.

Barty smirked, “Depends how mean your punch is. Promise to make me bleed?”

“I don’t want a busted knuckle.” He shrugged, leaning back against the piller.

“So you won’t punch me then?”

“I guess not.” Sirius sighed, “Are you gonna punch me for it?”

“I could.” Barty grinned, crawling over to him, “Maybe we could get into a bit of a fight.”

“You’d probably like that, wouldn’t you?”

“Yeah, probably.” Barty grinned, licking up the side of his face.

Sirius smirked, grabbing his chin with rough finger tips, “Good effort, but it would take much more to disturb me, Crouch.”

“You’re more fun than I thought.” Barty smirked, “I expected you to be a party pooper like your brother. But you’re a little insane, aren’t you?”

“Darling, I don’t think you get to decide who’s insane or not.” Sirius teased.

“Piss off, fucker. Takes one to know one.” Barty waggled his eye brows, “And don’t call me darling unless you plan on wining and dining-“

“Oh, shut up.” Sirius groaned, pulling him in to kiss.

And yeah, maybe Barty isn’t so bad after all. Besides, his weed is pretty good, so Sirius is just going to come back for more, isn’t he?

Jegulus Prompt: Amortentia

12.04.24, @jegulus-microfic

681 Words

____

James has often heard about the phenomenon of "X fell first, Y fell harder".

And he is certain that he is the exception.

Because it's not possible to idolise someone harder or stronger than he does it with Regulus Arcturus Black.

Because, and this is the problem, Regulus thinks James is terrible. He makes him feel it all the time.

Ever since the younger black moved in with James and Sirius (or rather James' parents), he at least talkes to James. But it's mostly just insults or snide remarks. But that's a start, isn't it?

So James has been the only one to fall so far.

James needs a plan to show Regulus that he's actually quite cool.

And the best way is for Regulus to just think he's cool!

Okay, yes, James knows how that sounds, but listen to him!

If he could theoretically infuse Regulus with a certain potion that would make him like him, then.... That would be a step in the right direction, wouldn't it?

James has even spoken to Sirius about it and he's totally on his side. (Okay, you see, James didn't tell Sirius it was about Regulus, but he agreed anyway, so it's all good).

So one morning, James puts a few drops of Amortentia in Regulus' juice at the breakfast table. And less than 2 minutes later, he sees Regulus finish the glass.

(Just don't ask where James got the potion from, he won a few bets against drunken teachers at the Three Broomsticks)

James knows that someone who drinks Amortentia turns pale and looks ill, but Regulus (and Sirius to be honest) is always as pale as if he's about to catch the flu.

So you can't tell the difference on the outside.

Normally the potion should take effect immediately, but James hardly notices any difference. Is the potion broken? Can something like this have a best-before date?

"What are you staring at, James?" Regulus suddenly snaps him out of his thoughts.

"I'm not staring at-" he breaks off mid sentence, only to continue shortly afterwards, "What did you just call me?"

"...James? Isn't that your name anymore?" Regulus replies snippily.

"You've never called me James before."

Regulus blushes, briefly averts his eyes, but immediately looks at him again: "Why does it smell more like you here today than usual? How pungent can your heavenly scent be?" Regulus' face takes on a strawberry colour and he immediately jumps up, wants to leave, but goes straight to James and hugs him.

James laughs softly, "Is everything all right, Reggi?"

"Shut up."

He runs his hand through Reggi's curls, putting an arm around him.

"I'd be a really good friend for you, you know?"

"I know."

"I wish you were like that too, without Amortentia."

"James, I'm not on drugs."

"Yes, darling, I put something in your juice."

"I drink the juice every morning, I can tell when something's different about it. I can do magic too, you know."

James pushes Regulus away from him and looks at him, confused. "What do you mean?"

Now it's Regulus who grins. "Well, let me put it this way, I hope for your sake Sirius hasn't drunk his juice yet."

"Regulus, what are you doing here with me?" James looks at Regulus, who is still clinging to him and hugging him.

"What do you want it to be?"

"I don't care, as long as it's with you."

"Sop"

They both smile shyly at each other until James realises that Regulus is looking at his lips rather than into his eyes.

But just as their lips almost touch, the door to the kitchen is yanked open. "Jammiieee-" cries Sirius, staring wide-eyed at James, "Hello, dear! What took you so long? I've been looking for you!" He sprints towards James and Regulus, tearing them apart and clinging to James with his arms and legs. "Sirius! I'm busy with -" but he sees Regulus goes out of the room, with a kiss, which he symbolically throws at James through the air before closing the door and disappearing.

Seems like James wasn't the only one who fell.

[hihimissamericanbi]

oh HELLO SMUT IDEAS

celine you're brillant all of these are amazing HOW CAN I CHOOSE

but hmmm ok i'm going to say:

Make your fuckboi jealous at the club. regulus making either james or barty jealous?

and

Maybe time for some suffocating roommates to lovers tension solved via a stubborn ass game. ROSEKILLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR or maybe pandora x barty (do they have a ship name? idk) OR lily x barty x evan could be fun

Alrighty crow boy let's see what we can do here. This gets p explicit by the end so... oops?

Jealous fuckboi was fleshed out in a previous ask, BUT using your prompt, I'd say in this case Regulus is at pandora's birthday party. He had JUST gotten brutally dumped by barty, like, that day or something. Really really raw, fresh wounds. Barty is a dick but he's the skittles' dick even with all the shit he pulls so he is also at the party, already all over someone else. Regulus is both furious and heartbroken (remember, he is a sad wet cat on the inside). Enter: James motherfucking Potter, tits out, eyes only for Regulus. "Where's your boyfriend Reggie?" "Oh you mean that asshat over there with his tongue down some guy's throat?" James is like 😈😈😈😈😈 fuck yes reggie is FINALLY single it's JAMIE TIME or something equally cringe inside his head. So he just completely destroys Regulus with some smoking hot sexy banter, lays it on real thick, and soon flirting becomes dancing and dancing becomes making out and holy shit James is so fucking hot I can't believe he's touching me like this meanwhile James is like wanted you for so long let's show him how pretty you look bent over for someone else and James spins Regulus around and bends him over so his ass is in the air as James grinds up against it.

It barely passes for "dancing"

And when he hauls Regulus back up he whispers in his ear from behind, look baby he's watching, all for you. He's the dumbest fuck on the planet for letting me get my hands on you. I'm going to ruin you for him and for anyone else.

Praise kink sex in the club bathroom ensues.

Ok ok so for roommate plus tension-filled game I'm going to take lily×rosekiller bc I am not super familiar with rosekiller as a ship BUT I have seen the little sprinklings of throwing Lily in there with them and I LOVE POLY SHIPS so let's go.

Rosekiller established. Lily is their roommate, who they met through Pandora. It's really important that the vibes from the get go is ANYONE CAN HIT IT for all three of them. Pan bi queer whatever they identify as it's basically Hot People Are Hot (aka same sexuality as us irl tbh). So there's a lot of rosekiller just LEERING at Lily shamelessly and vice versa. It's not just rosekiller being extra handsy with each other when she's around or "accidentally" leaving the door open that one time or being intentionally loud when they know she's home. So finally they are stuck home one night together because Lily's plans got canceled and rosekiller are like oh no 😈 play a game with us? 😊

I'm going to make them play strip never have I ever. So the real tension/sexiness of the story is in the stripping, and the leering getting more and more out of control, and the completely out of pocket comments about each other's bodies. And it's extra fun because we have a mix of genders and bodies going on here (Trans Evan? Trans Evan.) But yeah I love this set up because no matter what body the reader has chances are they can find some body parts to relate to in this story and those parts are going to get specifically called out and praised and told it's hot.

The sex finally happens when Evan is the first one to be totally totally naked and his cock is wet and swollen and peaking out from his folds and Lily is STARING and blushing and so turned on and Barty is like have you ever sucked a cock like Evan's before and Lily motherfucking Evans is actually SHY and she shakes her head and barty is like mm it's the fucking best and Evan is so sweet, you'll never taste anything like him, would you like to try a bite? Here I'll show you how he likes it.

And then they are off to the races. There will be lots of "kissing the taste" of one another into each other's mouths and a lot of praise/dirty talk in the third person; ie. talking about one partner to the other partner like the first partner isn't even there.

Tl;Dr: languid body appreciation/praise smut for a mix of genders

Whew!!!!

Blackeclipse for MY soul

This fic is mostly for me, but for the twenty or so others that needed this too, I love you Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 6.5; Part 8 I hate the #7 so this is Part 6.5 This is just their answers to the Pamphlet questions...probably

1. Do you wish to make your Bond and/or Relationship public?

James: I would like to tell other people but not if it makes either of you uncomfortable. Regulus: I'm not going back home so it doesn't matter. Remus: I suppose we don't have to announce it. We could just tell our friends and go from there.

2. Is the nature of your Bond platonic, romantic, and/or physical?

Remus: Well, James and I have been friends for years, and Reggie and I have been too, sort of. James and I started sleeping in the same bed because of the Full but...things have sort of evolved a bit. Regulus: I... don't know if- I'm not sure I can- I just don't- James: You don't have to. You don't have to do anything you don't like or aren't comfortable with. And you don't have to know right now. We can go slow; learn along the way. It says that these things are going to change with time anyway.

3. What are acceptable acts of Public Displays of Affection?

James: Whatever you're comfortable with, I'm down. Remus: James has always been physically affectionate, so, we haven't really done anything we weren't already doing. Hugging, leaning on each other, general affection. But even those things would be drastic changes for you. Regulus: Yeah, my friends and I don't...touch like that. James: We could just wait for you to come to us. That way you get to decide what is too much in the moment.

4. How often will interactions occur in social settings?

Remus: I'm guessing you don't want to come eat at our table. James: I mean, Sirius has been trying to get him to sit with us for months now. Regulus: I'll think about it.

5. How close should your significant other be to your friends?

James: Well....... Regulus: My friends don't even know I'm Bonded yet. Remus: We could all go to Hogsmeade sometime? See what happens?

6. What are your expectations for holidays and breaks?

James: You're both coming to mine. Regulus: I- James: Do you have anywhere better? Regulus: Well, I was thinking... Remus: Regulus. We just want you to be safe.

8. What forms of intimacy are you comfortable with?

James: Again, whatever you're comfortable with, I'm down. Regulus: I don't know. I've done a few things but... James: Like snogging? Regulus: And then some but not like... Remus: That's all we've done. We'll go slow.

9. Will there be a change in the sleeping arrangement?

*Please note that, while it is not against the rules for Soulmates to share beds, we do expect you to be courteous to your roommates and to use protection.

James: Well, Remus already moved the beds. Remus: You don't have to stay here though. We've been sharing a bed because it helps me. But you totally don't have to. James: And it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can flip-flop as much as you want. Just let us know, yeah? Regulus: Not tonight, I think. I mean, I liked last night but, I just... Remus: Understandable. And, if it's other people you're worried about, we can sneak you in and out without anyone knowing. No problem.

~~~

With the questions answered James threw the pamphlet aside. He was sitting up now, running a hand through his hair. They all stared at each other for a moment, wondering what they were supposed to do now.

Eventually, Remus decided it was probably time to let Regulus in on his other secret. It must have been obvious that he was working up the courage to say something because when he turned to Regulus, the other boy was already looking at him.

"I, um, I..." Remus coughed and cleared his throat. "So, I- Well, uh-"

"I know you're a werewolf," Regulus cut in. "I thought you knew that?"

"Yeah, I- I know. But, um, there's something else."

"Something worse than becoming a wolf every month?"

Remus sighed, "Not 'worse,' well, it is in some ways, but it's just."

Remus looked to James hopelessly. James raised his eyebrows at Remus. Remus gave a helpless nod.

"Remus is trans." It sounded so simple when James said it. So easy and normal and not like it had to be pried out of his mouth with rusty pliers.

"Oh." Regulus looked at him appraisingly. "I never would have guessed. You pass extremely well."

Remus let out a shaky breath that was half laugh, half sob.

James was nodding. "The first time we snogged and stuff, I had actually forgotten and thought he wasn't into it cause, you know..." James gestured and Regulus raised his eyebrows, lips twitching slightly in amusement.

Remus waited for him to leave.

To back out.

To say he should have brought that up before they went through all those questions.

To say that now his answers were different.

To say he couldn't be with a freak like him.

"I guess that means I pass pretty well too, considering how nervous you were about my reaction."

Draco falls first and Harry falls harder trope but draco is self conscious and a total insecure angsty babygirl about it while harry is james' son and won't give up on his love. he has seen james love his mom and dad(lily and reggie) and knows that the most noble and ancient house of black isn't that hard to please when it comes to love and that just like lily, draco too is haughty when it comes to being courted lol. Reggie keeps on giving harry advice and telling him what draco used to like as a kid james keeps on telling his experiences with courting reggie and lily but lily is the one who shows harry what he couldn't see.

After all, she's the one who can actually see draco's pain and passion behind all that façade. She has drowned in the same loneliness draco faced. Muggleborn or pureblood, blood status doesn't matter when nobody you have loved would choose you for you. Petunia stopped choosing her the way Lucius never chose him. Petunia and Lucius' love existed but their choice didn't. Draco feels nobody would ever choose him for all of him. That nobody should. Draco suffers from being a 'gifted child' unable to ever rest truly because rest means being second and being second is all he's ever known. Lily has been on this road before. She saw the same look on draco when hermione came first and he was second as to when severus was always one step ahead of her in studies. No matter how much she loved severus she had that look with her. That one day she'd not be chosen and someone she loves would be. Draco loves hermione, they are great friends. So were lily and sev. but with the latter it was the validation of others, unimportant elder people. With draco and hermione, she knows draco isn't jealous. He's scared. he's scared that harry would one day choose someone else and not him. Someone better than draco. He's after all been bully to harry and his friends in the past.

Lily's parents and everyone around her before james and reggie chose her for what she was, a smart girl, a talented witch, that funny but kind friend. Her husbands chose her for her. For all her failures that she used to hide from everyone. And Harry would choose draco for every act of unkindness draco has ever shown because draco has changed. Not for Harry, not for himself but for the simple fact that unlearning bigoted ideas won't make him less of a person. Because being good isn't a compromise to have harry. it's what he's truly made of. his wand knows it. his mother knew it. till she fed him with the ideas his father wanted him to believe.

So draco runs. The moment harry shows him he'd choose him for every account of pain he's felt and subjected to others, harry would still choose him. Draco has known repentance like a habit. Draco now deserves to know love like it's all he should be filled with. Lily is loved by a Black and a Potter. Draco must too.

So draco runs. it isn't the first time a black leaves his house to live with the Potters. Or this time the Black-Evans-Potters' household(james wanted the B. E. P. abbreviation as a joke). This time he isn't Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius Malfoy. He is Draco Black, heir and only child of Narcissa Black. His mother has chosen him. And so has his Harry. His mother moves back to her childhood home and asks to be a better mother this time. Every Sunday, harry and draco visit her and draco's relationship with atleast one parent starts to heal.

draco and harry finally are able to joke about these things. draco doesn't fear his past ugliness anymore. he knows harry loves him for all of him his mistakes included. So one day they're preparing to leave for hogwarts for their 6th year draco adjusts his tie and looks at harry standing beside him who obviously is still in his jeans and trying to use a comb(badly) and with a fonder tone than he'd ever show anyone else simply asks: would you love me if i was a worm?

And the answer is YES!

YES. YES.

The next day harry comes with a big big box full of nutrient rich soil for a worm and even a flower is planted there somehow?? When questioned in the great hall by like half the people including professor Moony and McGonagall it takes all of the slytherins and gryffindors to tell harry that draco wasn't asking because his animagus might be a worm. Ron groans because his lovesick friend made him find all that "best and nutritional soil" for no reason. Hermione has to explain the worm-lore to Harry. Meanwhile draco hides his face in pansy's lap while crabbe and goyle decide to do an improv of worm!draco and human!harry.

Remus sends the rest of the Marauders and reggielily a whole 4 paged letter of each and every detail including a pensieve memory from ron and pansy of their experience and a video by collin creevey of harry carrying that weird worm soil box filled with manure in the great hall all cus he is too much in love with draco.

Sirius sends a howler the next day. But it only contains laughs of reggie. For 5 minutes straight. Later on asking professor moony, harry is told james gifted cat litter, a cat toy and binder to reggie on their first date. The cat litter was Peter's idea. And both james and peter had in their serious minds agreed that hissy black cat animagus of reggie must deserve a good quality cat product. Narcissa somehow gets to know about the worm incident and sends draco a soft toy worm couple from Fred and George's joke shop and it is delivered during severus's class. Draco and harry have to lay low for a week.

Regulus black | problems.

This fanfic is abt the problems they face while being secretly dating while Regulus is sirius's brother and you're James's little sister, and you're very close to the marauders. A quite long one, longer than my usual fanfics, content angst, fluff, NO SMUTS.

"I love you, reggie" You Whispered. "I love you more, y/n" Regulus whispered.

You found your self on regulus's bed, cuddling. You knew you two wouldn't work out, but the love you have for each other is inevitable.

"Love? Y/n? Wake up" He pecked all over your face. "Yes yes Regulus I'm awake" You giggled. "It's a sunday, let's go to Hogsmeade" Regulus smiled.

You have him a 'hm' scared if the marauders were there. "Pleaseee" He begged and gave puppy eyes.

"Alright, alright" You sighed, but grinned. "We'll have to sit separately at breakfast, alright? " You asked, and he groaned an 'ok'.

You got up and went first to the great Hall, meeting Marlene, lily, dorca, and the marauders.

"Hi" You said, the girls greeted you a 'hello! '. "Are you going to the Hogsmeade? " Dorca asked. "No, I mean, yes, I'm going with a friend" You said. "Who? " Said James. "Uh, I don't know, friend from a friend" You said.

"Uh huh totally believable" Said sirius. "It is" You groaned, while eating. "Well we want to go to hogshead, me, marlene, lily, James, sirius, remus, and Peter, you want to take that friend of yours too? " Dorca asked.

"No thank you, I still don't know if he's shy or not" You said. "Alright" Said dorca. "Oo, a boy, is it? " James said. "It's just a boy, james, I'm gonna go" You said.

"Alrighty, bye bye y/n" Marlene said. "See ya later" Said lily, and so you went to the hallways.

Not long after, you saw a tall, black haired, and a very attractive boy, who is it other than Regulus. "Reggie! " You said. "Look who's enthusiastic now" He said in an almost giggle.

"Come, I already took your scarf and beanie, McGonagall is already escorting students" He said. It was your first time going anywhere public with Regulus. You were always worried about James and sirius, and so was he.

You two walked on the hallway before getting out, somehow, the marauders, lily, dorca and Marlene were already there.

"They're there, reg" You said. "It'll be fine, I think" Regulus said. "Can we go to honeydukes, pleaseeee" You said, Regulus smiled, replying "of course, we can".

After all the fuss, you finally get to go to Hogsmeade. "Reg reg, where do you want to go? " You asked. "You said honeydukes" He replied. "Yes, I want to go there, what about you? " You asked again.

"Hogshead, maybe? " He said. "Your brother and mine are there, is that okay? " You asked and he nodded, but he said "we should go to honeydukes first, alright? ".

"Alright" You said, as you two started walking to Honeydukes.

While you were in there, you saw a heaven of candies. You immediately took some chocolate frog, and nougats. But you split up with Regulus, and when he came back, he had brought so many candies and chocolate.

"Really, you're only getting two? We can share" He chuckled as you giggled. "I'll pay" You said putting the candies on the counter. But, when you were reaching your galleons, he already paid it.

"Seriously, reg? " You sighed. "You're not paying" He said, taking the bag of candies.

You two walked outside, going to hogshead. They were not there. Which is great.

A waiter came up saying "what would you like? " To Regulus. "Two butterbeer, please" He said, and the waiter.

After the drink came, you drinked it. "I will forevee have a love hate relationship with butterbeer, right now i love it" You said.

"You Love butterbeer more than me?! " He gasped dramatically. "Regulus, I love you more than butterbeer, it's obvious" You sipped some more butterbeer.

"I love you more than anything in the universe" He smiled. After sipping the last drop of butterbeer, you two left to hogwarts.

"It's freezing cold out here, I don't know how those boys survive with just a hoodie" You said. "It is really cold here, but you're hot" He smirked. "Oh yeah you're definitely sirius's brother" You said.

You walked as you finally realized that the marauders were close, and they probably can see you. You, not for the first time acted like you didn't care.

"Come, reg" You said, holding his hands. You ran into the hogwart hallways. "Well, that was a bit smooth, I'm going to go now alright, reg? " You asked. "Alright love" He said going to the dungeons.

You walked to the common room, seeing sirius and James looking mad while sitting on the sofas. "What's wrong? " You asked. James answered in a very harsh tone "ask lily", and so you did.

You knocked on their door. "Lils? " You asked. "Y/n! Get in" She said.

"What's wrong, with James, and sirius? " You asked. "They, sort of saw you with Regulus and now sirius is mad with Regulus, and James is mad at you for dating a Slytherin" Lily blabbered out.

"They got into a stupid fight, I mean you should be with who you want, right, dorca? " Marlene said. "Yeah, I mean you love Regulus right? " Asked dorca.

"Yeah" You said, "I have to tell him that sirius and James knows, ill be here in a minute or so" You said.

They all gave you an 'alright'. It was, of course getting colder as it gets to evening.

You walked and knocked the Slytherins common room. As a young girl opened it, first year.

"Hello!" She smiled. "Hi, I have a friend to meet, can I get in? " You asked and she gave a lovely nod.

You walked to Regulus's common room. Knocking on the door. A furious Regulus opened the door.

"Get in" He said. "Reg, sirius knows about us" You said. "I know, y/n, but you need to know something" Regulus sighed.

"It was all a bet, me and my dorm mates set up, I don't love you, y/n" His face was stern. "But Regulus, I thought-" He cuts you off "you thought. Theres nothing more for us y/n, you're a great person, but not my type" His face were emotionless, except the tear running down his face.

Your eyes started getting more watery. "This Is all a bet, Regulus? I loved you you bastard!, all this time? Why couldn't you just tell me before we, I mean I fell in love with you! " You said before sobbing.

"I couldn't cause, it was all a bet, y/n" He said. You took a step back and said "maybe James was right, that I wasn't supposed to be friend people like you, I thought you weren't like what James and sirius had told me, but I guess you are" Before leaving the room.

You Quickly ran out of the Slytherins dorm. You cried while going to your common room.

You went into lilys dorm, and told everything. "What? Regulus did that? I thought.. " Marlene said, all of them were completely shocked, and flabbergasted.

"I'm going to my dorm" You sighed after a while. The girls nodded and so, you left.

You felt emptiness. You lay on your bed, feeling weird because you're used to cuddling.

You can only think of him. Tears after tears fell out of your eyes. It was so bad that you can feel that your pillows wet on your eye area.

Not long, you woke up from the blistering sun. Another Monday.

You used your robes, using your perfumes, and rushed to the great Hall. Your eyes locked with someone, Regulus. You quickly looked away to the marauders and the girls.

"Hey" Sirius said. "Hi" You said. "You alright sis? Said James. "No, but, you guys were right, I guess people like him are... Different" You sighed.

I loath this but idk part 2 if I get to atleast 10 likes cause this is bad 😭😭

[toomanyfictionalboyfriends]

I know you don’t like labels, so will you be my married-person-thing?”

Regulus black

I know it's been a hot minute, sorry I had no inspiration mentions of wolfstar, jily and rosekiller (sorry if they're inaccurate I know their names and their ship name and the fact that they are reggies friends and that's it) he/they Sirius

You and Regulus had been going out for a little under two years. Actually in 2 days, 3 hours and 15 minutes it would be two years to the exact minute since he asked you to be exclusive. You've spent the last two years learning everything there is to know about Regulus, he's even gone as far as trusting you to know he's an animagus. But one thing you learned early on is that HATED labels, loathed them entirely. When James and Lily got married shortly after Hogwarts, the two of you hadn't been together long but even then, he wasn't fond of the term 'boyfriend' and also didn't introduce you to people he knew as his 'girlfriend'. He preferred using your name, and preferred you using his. Not that he doesn't like the cute pet names once in a while but 'boyfriend' makes his stomach turn. And don't get him wrong, it's not because he wanted to keep you a secret by any means. Regulus was surprisingly open and affectionate about his relationship with you, he made sure anyone and everyone knew you were exclusive. So when you practice your speech you make sure not to include any labels. You pace around your shared room for 45 minutes looking for a way to ask him to marry you without being basic or calling him your 'husband' or making yourself his 'wife'. You pull out your best dress, it's silver and sparkly and it looks stunning against the all black tux you know Regulus is planning to wear to dinner tonight. As you're laying out the gown you wrack your brain some more, trying to think of any way to ask him to be your forever that doesn't sound totally cheesy and corny and like something James or Sirius would pull. Oh my Godric, James and Sirius and Remus and Lily and Evan and Barty would all be there tonight. None of them suspect anything, except Remus whom you told, they think it's just an excuse to get dressed up and have a fancy dinner before going to an expensive club Sirius scoped out last week. "I swear to Merlin himself if this goes wrong." You curse quietly, checking your clutch to make sure the ring you picked out for him was still in there. Once verifying that the ring hadn't grown legs and ran away you decide to take a shower. You try to let the hot water relax you as you scrub yourself clean, attempting to wash off the excess anxiety. With a towel wrapped around you you blow-dry and style your hair and let it fall around your shoulders before you slather a sweet cocoa butter moisturizer over your skin. You enter the bedroom and see Regulus getting dressed. "Reggie."

"Love." It's a simple greeting but knowing what you know it makes your heart bang against your ribs. You lean down and give him a soft kiss which he happily returns with a hum. "You smell nice."

"Cocoa butter and this new hairspray I got, it's coconut scented."

"You are a coconut. I'm all ready, I'll wait for you in the living room." He stands, giving you another kiss before heading for the door.

"Wait, I need your help with my band and the zipper." You implore him. He does up the band on your bra, waiting while you slip into your dress.

"You are so hot. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." As his lips brush your shoulder you swear your heart stops. Does he know? There's no way he knows, right? He says nothing else and you determine he knows nothing. He zips your dress and reminds you to bring a shawl, it is mid September so it's beginning to cool down at night. Once your heels are on he slips his arm around yours and leads you to the waiting car. He's as courteous as ever, opening and closing your door both at the house and at the restaurant, holding your elbow when he leads you inside and to the table, pulling out your seat first and helping you slide in before taking his own next to you. The two of you have a glass of water while you wait for your friends to arrive, talking about your day.

"Good, we aren't late." Sirius' voice draws your attention away from Regulus momentarily.

"Nope, early one might say." You nod for him and Remus to have a seat. Remus pulls out a chair for Sirius, helping them slide in before taking the seat next to you. He kisses your cheek. "You look stunning. Regulus, you look very nice as well."

"Oh Remus, you're a doll, you and Sirius look lovely as ever." You reply.

"So, Sirius, have you heard from mot- Walburga or Orion?"

"Reggie, your lovely partner planned this spectacular night for us, why don't we talk about them later, yeah?"

"Sure, I can agree on that." The two share a smile.

"Don't look now, here comes Rosier and Barty. Oh and there's Prongsie behind them with Lilyflower." Sirius elegantly nods towards a group headed for your table.

Remus stands to greet everyone newly joining you as do Sirius, Regulus and yourself. You try not to be too much in the way, thankfully you're in a windowed area with not many people at the moment. "James, Lily, Evan, Barty." Remus shakes their hands one by one, delivering a small peck to Lily's cheek as he hugs her just as he had done you. "You look beautiful."

"Stop hitting on my wife." James scowls, jokingly.

"You're hugging my boyfriend, shut up."

"So you've finally put a label on it?" Evan speaks, pulling out of Reggie's hug. Everyone sits and Remus just chuckles. "Yeah, after all those years of sleeping with him. They kinda never went away, like a rash." Regardless of his teasing behavior he places a hand on Sirius' knee. "I love you."

"You're a brat." Sirius scoffs.

"Says the one who-"

"Ah-la-la-la we don't need to know about your sex lifeeee!" James sing songs with an uncomfortable grimace.

"Well it's nice that you two are honest about it now." Evan smiles.

"Hey, good evening everyone, I will be your server for tonight, my name is Alyx. Would we like to start off with some drinks?"

"I'll just have water please." Lily starts.

"Coke?" James asks and is met with a nod.

"Do you guys have a bar?" Sirius wonders.

"Siri, love, we'll have a drink later." Remus shakes his head. "We'll both have water, please."

"Coke, and a Sprite for Ev, please." Barty speaks, ordering for his boyfriend who sits in quiet conversation with Regulus.

"Anything else for the two of you or just water?" The waiter asks you.

"I think we're fine with water, thank you."

"D'ja have to get me water?" Sirius whines at his boyfriend now that the waiter is gone.

"Yes, I know you'll drink too much and not stay hydrated. You're welcome." Remus barely looks up at him.

Your drinks all come out and everyone decides what they want to order, quite a variety of things. You decide to try their new pasta and sauce and ever the angel he is, Regulus orders a grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes and a roll, a meal he knows you can and will eat without complaint in the off chance you don't like the pasta. He'd never allow it to be recognized aloud though. Conversation continues when all of the orders have been taken.

"Your anniversary is coming up, isn't it?" Sirius doesn't properly address either of you but Reggie speaks.

"It is, in two days." He gives you a soft smile that would have been a grimace in his younger years.

"You know I think you've been good for Regulus, (y/n)." Barty takes a sip of his drink.

"Thank you, he's been really good for me as well." You state, looking at him with a sticky sweet smile.

He can't help but lean over and press a kiss to your cheek. "Love you." It's barely a whisper in your ear but still you return the sentiment.

"Love you too." Dinner arrives and two bites in you're looking at your pasta funny.

"You don't like it do you? Here, trade me." Regulus goes to slide his plate off the table.

"No, no it's okay. I ordered it, I'll eat it." Your stomach flips at the notion, it really doesn't taste good and the pastas a little weird feeling in your mouth but you take another bite anyway. Your hand comes to your mouth, trying to keep the distaste hidden from the rest of your friends but Regulus sees right through you.

"Love, I'm not letting you finish that. Order something else if you won't take the chicken but I've not even touched it yet." Regulus' hand on yours wills you to gently discard your fork as you swallow roughly.

"Don't want to order anything else because it'll take forever to come and then you guys will all be done and have to wait on me. And that's your chicken, Reg."

"Can I be honest?" He pulls you close and whispers so no one else can hear. "Got it cause I knew you wouldn't like the pasta."

You swear if you'd been on your period you would have cried on the spot. "Swear it." He grins, reaching for your plate of pasta. "You'll let me?" You can only nod at him in response. It's then when Remus turns his attention from whatever Lily was saying about Harry and James to the two of you.

"Everything okay?"

"Splendid, thanks. The pasta was-" you pause trying to find the right words to describe the feeling and flavor without grossing him out.

"I understand, settled? I'll swap you if you want." He understands texture issues as well as food aversions dealing with them himself as well as from Sirius.

"Reggie's taken care of it. Thank you though." You smile, gesturing to the chicken he sits in place of your pasta. He nods. The rest of dinner goes well, your chicken fairing much better than the pasta. Conversation flows smoothly right up until you leave for the bathroom. "Excuse me, I'll be right back." You're excused but instead of going to the bathroom you glance around for your waiter. He's nowhere to be seen so you ask one of the other waiters if they could find him for you.

He comes out a moment later, wiping his hands on a towel. "How may I help you?"

"I'm at that table with my friends and my partner." you attempt to point as discreetly as possible and he notes.

"With the redhead and the curly headed one?"

"Yeah, yeah them. Anyway, I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor? When you come to ask if we want deserts I'm going to convince my partner to get a brownie, could you put this on his plate?" You pop the ring box out of your clutch and open it, showing off the shiny dark band.

"Absolutely I can." He carefully takes the box, tucking inside his apron.

"Thank you so much." You hurry back to your table not to raise any suspicion. "Reg, d'you think we could get desert? Maybe like something small? Just a brownie?"

"Is that what you want? A brownie sounds good. Two brownies, anyone else?" Reggie asks the table.

"Ooh I want a brownie, please, love?" Sirius begs, fixing Remus with a pout.

"You can have one brownie, we'll share, y'know you get sick if you have too much chocolate." Remus strokes their hair out of their face.

"Sure, I'd love a brownie. Lilykins?"

"I'll take one, sure." Lily's quiet, checking a pocket mirror, presumably to see if everything is okay with Mia, Monty and Harry.

"Might as well, it's a special occasion." Evan looks at Barty who agrees.

"Seven brownies because Sirius has to split one like he's a little kid." Regulus pokes.

"Oi shove off Regulus." He defends himself.

"Hey folks I see everyone's done with dinner, is there any way I can interest you in some dessert?" Alyx steps back around the table collecting dishes.

"We'll take seven brownies please." You speak while Sirius and Regulus quietly bicker back and forth over Sirius being able to only have half a brownie.

"Absolutely let me get those for you real quick. I'll be right back." Alyx smiles at me.

"Was he flirting with you?" Regulus breaks from teasing his older brother.

"I don't think so he just smiled at me? I wasn't flirting with him regardless if he was or was not, I was just being kind." You reassure him with a hand on his shoulder.

"Mhm, good, cause you're mine." Regulus' possessiveness makes your heart flutter a little as he pulls you in for a kiss.

"All yours." Remus hides what sounds like the beginning of a laugh behind a cough.

"I come bearing deserts. Who is the one not getting a brownie?" Alyx asks, looking around the table.

Everyone points to Sirius and they let out a stutter trying to explain themself. "I- I just can't have my own, I'm allergic to chocolate so I have to share it with my boyfriend." Alyx nods, placing the dessert in front of Remus instead. One for everyone else with three brownies left on the tray, one of them with Regulus' ring but he doesn't suspect a thing. That is until it's placed in front of him.

"What's this?" He looks up at Alyx who simply shrugs as if he doesn't know.

"I'm going to be completely honest, Reg, I had a whole speech that I practiced for hours at the house and I've forgotten it all… But I know you don’t like labels, so, Regulus Arcturus Black, will you be my married-person-thing?”

There's a deafening silence where he doesn’t answer and everyone holds their breath. Then he stands and your heart beats faster than it ever has, until he reaches in his pocket and kneels in front of you revealing a box of his own. "As long as you'll be mine."

Moony Wants, Moony Gets | R.L

Paring: Young!Remus Lupin X Slytherin!Fem!Reader

Summary: Moony has a natural wanting for his mate making his possessiveness visible the closer it gets to the full moon. 

He was always jealous. Blame it on the wolf in him, if you will, but Remus Lupin was highly possessive. Especially over what’s his - maybe not even what’s his but what he wants. She was gorgeous and his perfect mate—long tuffs of h/c hair and gleaming e/c eyes that glittered in the limelight. There was one problem with her, though—one major flaw in her mess of perfection. 

Y/n L/n, cunning, ambitious, resourceful, and charismatic. 

That was the problem. Y/n was a Slytherin, and Remus was a half-blood Gryffindor. To make matters worse, her closest friend was Regulus Black - Sirius Blacks brother. Remus’ best friend's brother. But Remus couldn’t help it. Her voice was like a siren's call, and her beauty was a rival to Aphrodite, but she had the wisdom of Athena. Y/n was a perfect balance of everything. 

Closer to the full moon, his possessiveness became more of a problem. Sirius was noticing the low growl that would erupt from Remus whenever someone stepped close to Y/n. James saw the lingering glares left on any male within a six feet distance of her. Even Peter observed his green eyes turn a shade darker as if someone mixed black paint into his usually bright eyes. 

Y/n sat at the Slytherin table, a cup of coffee beside her as she spoke intently with Regulus. Meanwhile, a Gryffindor across the Great Hall was glaring daggers at the younger Black brother's head. Sirius nudged him, grabbing his attention. 

“Mate, you’re growling again.” Sirius whispered, and Remus’ cheeks turned pink, “Am not.”

James gave an unconvincing grin, “Mhm, totally.”

“I was not growling.”

“I think you were.” James replied, “Definitely was.” Sirius added. 

Remus sighed, pushing his plate away to lay his head on the table, “What’s got Moony all wound up?” James queried, Remus, deadpanned looking at the laughing girl across the room. 

“I think I know.” Sirius simpered, “Do you now? Don’t be a tosser.” James stated teasingly. 

“Turn around. Slytherin, talking with Reggie.” 

He turned and looked back at Remus with his jaw dropped, “No- fucking- way.”

“What?”

“She’s the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, you tosser!” 

“Oh…”

James snorted, “Yeah, oh.”

“Looks like Moony found his mate.” Sirius winked, and Remus groaned, “Shut up about it, will you?”

“Never.” 

It felt weird. James wouldn’t shut up about how brilliant Y/n was, how the Slytherin’s Quidditch team was able to make plays that no one else would’ve even thought about. Sirius wouldn’t stop offering to talk to Regulus to see if maybe he had any intel on her. Strangely enough, Peter was silent but had a guilty look on his face. Guilty sufficient for Remus to comment. 

“Why do you look guilty, Wormtail?” Remus inquired, and Peter's cheeks flushed pink, “She- Y/n isn’t- um….” 

“What do you know that we don’t, Peter?” Sirius queried, his voice harsh, “She isn’t what you think. That’s all I’m saying.” Peter stammered out nervously. 

James tilted his head at the blue-eyed boy, “And you know this how?” 

“She’s my ex-girlfriend.”

“Woah! Hold on a second!” Sirius exclaimed in shock, “When did this happen?!”

“Back in fourth year.” Peter informed, “She seemed nice enough until you start to get serious with her. Y/n’s sharp-tongued and extremely ill-tempered.” 

Sirius sniggered, “Sounds like Moony.”

“Oi!”

“Sorry!”

“So, what does this mean for Remus?” James questioned further, “It doesn’t mean anything. Just be careful. I don’t care if you date her. Means nothing to me.” Peter replied, putting his hands up in innocent. 

Remus stared at Peter with curiosity swirling. How much did he truly know about Y/n? How did he manage to date her? Nonetheless, it didn’t mean anything to Remus because Moony wanted her. What Moony wants is what Moony gets. Later that evening, after prefect patrol, he padded into the library to dismiss any working students. But there were only two students inside. They sat in a secluded corner of the library. Regulus Black and Y/n L/n. 

Was it envy? Was it jealousy? He didn’t have time to ponder. Y/n had her head laid on Regulus’ shoulder and both her arms wrapped around his one arm. Regulus had leaned his head on top of hers, wavy black hair intertwined with her h/c hair. Both their eyes were closed, apparent they were asleep—potion and Transfiguration books placed on top of the wooden table along with an open sketchbook. 

What was he supposed to do in this situation? Wake them up? If it was just Y/n, perhaps he could’ve, but Regulus was with her, and Regulus wasn’t too fond of Remus for being friends with his older brother. Madam Pince had already left for the night, either choosing not to disturb them or didn’t notice them. Remus saw the inkpot beside the Potions book, almost empty. It was Y/n’s inkpot because the ink wasn’t black. It was a deep grape color. 

Remus sighed and grabbed the ink from his bag, charming it the same color. Discretely he took hers and swapped it out with his. Leaving a piece of parchment on top. Remus left the library without another word. Waking them up was a risk he’d rather not take. But now, he laid in his bed wondering how she’d feel about the new ink on the table. 

The sun began to rise, and Y/n’s body felt stiff. Carefully she began to stir awake after noticing a body beside her. Opening her eyes, everything seemed blurry, but after blinking a few times, she recognized the library books and the person's scent beside her. Regulus, her best friend. Y/n yawned and pulled away from him, about to begin packing their belongings, but she noticed a piece of parchment that lay on top of her ink. 

“Noticed you were out. You can have mine.“ 

Y/n hummed appreciatively. She didn’t know who gave her their ink, but she was eternally grateful for them saving her a trip to Hogsmeade. Y/n poked at Regulus’ right side, and he eventually stirred awake. His curls disheveled and his body just as stiff as she was. Regulus opened his eyes and met her e/c ones. 

“Did we fall asleep?” He groaned, and Y/n scoffed, “What do you think, dingus?”

“No need to be mean this early in the morning, Merlin.” 

“Someone saw us last night, though.” Y/n stated, and Regulus noticeably jumped, “Who?”

She shrugged, “Not sure, but they left me a new pot of ink.”

“Lucky you.”

“Lucky me.”

Both best friends cleared their table. Y/n put her Potions books away, and Regulus put his Transfiguration books away. Y/n stared at the writing on the parchment she had received earlier that day. The handwriting was almost unrecognizable. It was messy and sprawled. Whoever this was did not have good handwriting or was in a rush. But the day carried on. In Potions, Y/n sat in the front while the Marauders sat in the back. Remus stared holes in the back of Y/n’s head. 

“She’s gonna notice if you keep staring at her like that.” Sirius muttered. 

Remus sighed and continued to write his notes. If he tried hard enough, he could make out her elegant purple ink from here. It always baffled him why she chose purple over traditional black - suppose it wasn’t really any of his business, but he couldn’t help but wonder. The familiar sketchbook sat on top of the desk as well; he could see doodles in the same deep purple color. Occasionally Regulus - who sat beside her - would nudge her to pay attention, gaining an annoyed groan. 

Potions class always smelt weird. It was a mixture of glue, seaweed, and salt. It was also constantly humid. It brought shivers down Remus’ spine. He noticed it doing the same to the Slytherin girl at the front. Remus craved nothing more than to wrap his robe around her, but he was too late. Regulus was already doing the action, which earned him one of her jaw-dropping smiles. Unconsciously he began growling again. This time, James smacked his arm. 

“Mate!” 

“Sorry…” 

Dinner was even worse. Y/n had yet to remove Regulus’ robes leaving him in a button-down white shirt and the usual uniform. Sirius was surprised at his younger brother's chivalry but didn’t speak much. The full moon was that night, and as dinner progressed, Remus only gained more possessive. James and Sirius gave up on trying to scold him. It was apparent Moony wanted - no - needed her. Slytherin captain be damned, Y/n was going to be Moonys. 

A dry winter night. As usual, Remus walked to the Whomping Willow with his three friends following him. Tonight was normal in the sense of his friends turning into their animagus,’ but the odd thing was letting him out of the shack. The werewolf and the dog ran around the forest together. The rat and stag lagging behind, allowing the two animals to play together. But a stick-breaking brought the attention of the werewolves to the new person. 

He could smell them. Hear their blood running through their veins. Their heart pounding at a standard rate. The dogs barking could be heard, trying to distract the werewolf. The scent was female, and she wasn’t scared. Instead, the girl approached with confidence sticking out her hand to the wolf. Padfoot barked loudly. Prongs backed down, looking nervous. Wormtail squeaked loudly. But she came with confidence and assurance. 

Moony growled, “Shh, shh, it’s okay.” She cooed, “You’re safe with me.”

The h/c haired girl knelt on the grass, “No need to be scared, I’m not going to hurt you.”

Moony hesitantly put his snout in the girl's palm, making her grin. His fur was soft to the touch, and his eyes turned soft. Her smile was beautiful, and Moony nuzzled his hand into her soft palm. She chuckled and patted him more. Padfoot barked excitedly and ran to her, but the werewolf started to bare his teeth again. 

“Hey, it’s okay. I’m yours.” 

The wolf seemed to calm down at her words allowing Padfoot to approach her. Smiling brightly, she pet both animals, “It’s okay, love.”

“My name’s Y/n. I didn’t know that there was a werewolf here.” Y/n greeted as Moony curled up beside her, his head on her thigh, Padfoot doing the same on the other side.

She caught sight of the other two animals and whistled for their attention, “C’mere.”

Prongs and Wormtail approached nervously, but Moony gave no sense of protectiveness. Y/n’s words resonated in his head over and over again, “I’m yours.” The wolf fell asleep beside her, Padfoot doing the same. Prongs approached, and Y/n patted the top of his head. Wormtail sat in front of her knee. They seemed at peace. It was the first time Moony ever felt at ease. They’d be lying if it didn’t make them happy. 

Y/n stayed up all night with the animals. Despite the animals not knowing, Y/n knew that the stag, rat, and dog were animagus’. The werewolf was unknown to her. The following morning when the stag turning into James, rat into Peter, dog into Sirius. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to find out who the werewolf was. When he turned back into a human with his clothes tattered. Y/n continued to run her fingers through his hair as he slept. 

“Morning, Marauders,” Y/n commented. 

“You’re- you-“ James stuttered.

She laughed, “Apparently, your moony really likes me.”

“Would you mind petting me again?” Sirius teased, “Maybe.” Y/n retorted, winking. 

Sirius laid down on her other thigh that Remus wasn’t laying on, smiling; she ran her fingers through their hair, “You’re a godsend, lemme tell you.”

James and Peter sat in front of Y/n, “What made you want to take a walk in the forbidden forest last night?”

“Just wanted some air.” Y/n answered. 

Remus groaned and began pushing his head onto Y/n’s hand, “Morning, Remus.”

The Marauders and Y/n had never seen him jump up that fast, “What- you- I- uh-“

“Didn’t know you were a werewolf.”

“I- uh…”

“Sirius, for the love of God, get off her lap.” James interject, slapping the boy on the head playfully, “But it feels so good.” Sirius drawled. 

James grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the grass. In the process, Sirius got a mouthful of dirt and grass, “You wanker.”

“Did I- erm- hurt you?” Remus questioned shyly, “Nope, I'm completely unscathed.” Y/n smiled reassuringly. 

Remus turned to his friends, “Nope! Y/n saved us all.”

“Are you hurt?” Y/n inquired to Remus, who took a quick look at himself, “I- I don’t believe so….”

Sirius blew a raspberry, “Thank Merlin! Dragging you to the hospital wing is bloody exhausting.”

Silence filled the forest until Sirius smirked, “You know, mate when you were talking about Moony wanting her. I thought you were joking. Turns out you weren’t.”

“Oi!”

“Oh, Merlin…”

Y/n chuckled, “Well, Moony is rather cute if I’m honest.”

Remus’ cheeks blasted with pink, and Sirius laughed. James shook his head with a big grin, and Peter looked amused with Y/n’s confession. Without hesitation, Y/n leaned over to kiss Remus’ cheek, making him hide his face flustered. She stood up and ruffled Sirius’ hand, gently rubbing her nails across his scalp, making Sirius try to lean into her palm. They all stared at her except for Remus, who was equally embarrassed and flustered. 

“If you’re looking for a fifth Marauder, I know the Slytherin common room password.” Y/n winked as she walked to the castle.

We all know that in a modern au regulus would hate tiktok. He wouldn’t even know about it until he was forced to make an account so James could tag him in cat videos and would literally never use it.

BUT

He would totally do that trend with cool for summer just to see the comments.

It would be like…

Star Star Tours

Summary: You and Sebastian have been dating for a while now, but the public doesn’t know that yet. Keeping your secret causes some tension on James Corden’s Star Star Tours.

Pairing: Sebastian Stan x actress!reader

This is my first time writing for Marvel, so I hope people enjoy! It’s just something that I wrote really quick, but I love the bus tour video, and I thought this could be a cute story. Also, Sebastian was not in nearly enough of the disposable camera pictures.

It was no secret that press tours could be draining. Being stuck in a room for multiple days while people keep asking you the same questions over and over again even though they know that you can’t really answer them. And considering how big Infinity War is, it was no surprise that there were even more interviews than usual.

That was why you had been so excited when you had heard about James Corden’s bus tour. Getting to spend the day outside, surrounded by some of your costars, sounded like a vacation compared to being stuck in a chair all day. There was no doubt in your mind that it would be chaos. Of course, you would do you best to add to that chaos.

Still, as you glanced over at your boyfriend, you thought that maybe press tours weren’t all that bad. You and Sebastian had met while filming Civil War, but you hadn’t really talked much. Sebastian was pretty quiet, and you had worried that he found your loudness annoying, so you had focused on befriending your costars who seemed more receptive to your large personality.

It wasn’t until the press tour that you actually got to know Sebastian. You weren’t sure if you had been partnered with Sebastian and Anthony because someone thought Anthony might ease your nerves about your first Marvel press tour or if they hoped being stuck with two people as outgoing as you and Anthony might force Sebastian out of his shell. Either way, the three of you had been a hit that press tour. More importantly, Sebastian had asked you out shortly after Civil War premiered.

The two of you had been dating ever since. It had made interviews a bit difficult for both of you though. You had decided to keep your relationship private. In theory, you were going to go public after a few months, but the two of you had enjoyed having a part of your lives that was actually private. It was a surprise that no one had let it slip, considering both Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo knew about the relationship. Still, it was hard ignoring dating rumors every time someone thought you must be with whatever costar you had smiled at that week.

“What are you thinking about?” Sebastian asked, glancing at you before looking back the road. He took one hand off the wheel and grabbed your hand, entwining your fingers.

“Nothing.” You knew that Sebastian wouldn’t buy it. Not when he had seen your goofy grin.

“Nothing? Wanna try again?”

“What if we went to the premiere together?” You kept your eyes on your hand, still entwined with Sebastian’s.

“Like together together?” Sebastian took his hand back so he could turn into the parking lot of the studio. You tried not to notice the slight frown that he wore as he thought about your idea.

“We don’t have to. It’s just that it’s been almost two years. I thought it could be a good time. Maybe everyone will be so focused on the movie that we wouldn’t be big news.” Sebastian didn’t answer as he parked. You could already see a producer rushing over to the car, no doubt to get your ready for the tour. “You don’t have to answer now. Let’s just enjoy the tour and we can talk about it later.”

Sebastian nodded in agreement and the two of you climbed out of the car and made your way over towards the bus.

After you got your mic and everything, you climbed up to the top of the bus, where James gave you a name tag after doing a little bit. Immediately, you rushed to the front row and took the seat next to Lizzie. The two of you had clicked immediately while filming Civil War, and she had been one of your best friends ever since. 

You noticed that Sebastian waited for a few more people to get on before he climbed on and took a seat at the back next to Winston. You tried not to read too much into the fact that he was sitting as far away from you as possible. It was possible, probable even, that he was keeping his distance just so neither of you slipped up on camera. It was a tactic you used quite often. But it was also possible that you had freaked him out when you proposed going public and now he was going to avoid you.

Shaking off the doubts in your head, you picked up the disposable camera that you had been given and started snapping pictures as everyone settled in. To your relief, Sebastian gave you a smile and a small wave when you pointed the camera at Paul and Letitia, catching him in the background. Before it could descend into total chaos, the bus began moving and the tour started.

You and Lizzie almost died laughing when Benedict had to put sunscreen on James’s legs, but he had a point. “Does anyone need face sunscreen?” you asked, waving the bottle of face sunscreen that you had thrown in your purse at the last minute. Very pointedly, you turned to Benedict and Hiddleston. “I’m looking at you two.”

“We get it, Y/N,” Anthony yelled from the back. “You’re a mom friend.” You stuck your tongue out in reply, mainly because flipping him off didn’t seem very TV friendly. Nevertheless, your sunscreen got passed around the bus. Paul tried to give it back to you without putting any on, claiming that he didn’t need any, which resulted in you and Lizzie basically wrestling him and putting it on his face yourselves. The laugh died in your throat as you began turning back to the front and caught sight of Sebastian’s grumpy face. You raised your eyebrows, but he looked away.

“What’s up with him?” Lizzie asked quietly. Apparently she had seen his expression too. You could only hope that no camera had caught it.

“Tell you later.” You tapped slightly on your mic and Lizzie nodded.

Luckily James began the tour before you could dwell on it any more. Between Don’s exaggerated pose when he took a picture of the coffee shop, getting into trouble with James for being “disruptive,” and the singalong, which you got way too into, you had almost forgotten about Sebastian’s stormy expression.

“This is actually Barbara Streisand’s holiday home,” James said, pointing at some strange, red building. “She actually designed it herself.”

“Is that true, Josh?” you called, spinning around so you could face him.

Josh shook his head. “Absolutely not.”

“Well what do you know? You’re just the bad guy. You’re just trying to cause trouble,” James complained.

“She’s his stepmom, so I think I trust him a bit more than you, James. Sorry.” You shrugged innocently at him before turning back around the air high five Josh. Again, as you were turning back to the front, you caught Sebastian’s eye. He was basically glaring at you.

“What?” you mouthed at him, which of course everyone behind you saw, causing them to turn to look at Sebastian too.

“Y/N, I am trying to give a tour, and you are being disruptive once again. I need eyes up front please.”

“But James,” you whined, huffing in your seat like a little kid, “Sebastian keeps looking at me. Tell him to stop.”

“Sebastian, I need all eyes on me, please. I am the reason you all paid to be here-”

“We have to pay for this?” Hiddleston asked, but James continued as if he hadn’t said anything.

“-so I need you to stop looking at Y/N and pay attention to me.”

“I didn’t even look at her. What am I not allowed to look around now?” Sebastian answered a bit too hotly. There was a brief moment where you could feel everyone look between the two of you, even James and Reggie, who had no idea why it was so strange that Sebastian had snapped like that.

“Geez, Mackie, control your man,” you joked, trying desperately to diffuse the tension.

“No way. Sebastian is not my man. He’s sitting with Winston, so he’s Winston’s problem today,” Mackie yelled back. Luckily, this caused Winston and Anthony to start bickering about who had to take care of Sebastian during the tour. Sebastian, of course, hated the attention and eventually agreed to behave and even gave you a very child-like “Sorry, Y/N.” You stuck your tongue out in response and turned back to give James your full attention.

You all continued the act of disconnected celebrities as James explained what waiting in line was. Hoping to get a better view of the “normal people,” you tried to stand on your chair like you were ogling some animal at the zoo, but almost immediately at least five different people were yelling at you to get down. Apparently it “wasn’t safe” to stand on top of chairs on top of a moving bus.

“Excuse me. I don’t mean to interrupt, but I have to use the bathroom. Can I use the bathroom?” You didn’t turn around this time, worried about seeing Sebastian staring at you again. Instead, you focused on the faux apologetic look on James’s face.

“I’m really sorry. The problem is that the rules on the tour is that you have to have appeared in three or more Marvel movies to use the bathroom. End credits scenes don’t count. Y/N, do you have to use the bathroom?”

“I haven’t been in three movies,” you pointed out.

“That’s right, you haven’t. So I hope you don’t have to use the bathroom. Tom Hiddleston, do you need to use the bathroom?”

“I’m actually okay.”

“Oh, so sorry Y/N. Sorry Josh. Maybe you should ask your stepmom Barbra Streisand if you can use the bathroom at her holiday home.”

“I don’t even have to go,” you protested as Lizzie died laughing next to you.

“Well that’s good because you can’t. Now, does anyone die in the next Avengers?”

The bus was quiet as you all looked at each other. Finally, Paul yelled, “Snitches end up in ditches!”

“I thought they got stitches first,” you whispered to Lizzie.

“Apparently Paul is skipping that part,” she replied. The two of you gave each other a look before dissolving into giggles at the thought of Paul actually throwing someone in a ditch.

The tour continued with more of James’s jokes before he had the bus pull over at a comic shop. A part of you was nervous to go inside. While most of the fans that you had met were nice, you knew that there were still a lot of comic fans who didn’t like your character, or how you played your character, or that you had been cast, or whatever. You gave Lizzie’s hand a nervous squeeze, which she returned, but really you wanted to be holding Sebastian’s hand. You were each other’s biggest supporter. Whenever one of you was feeling nervous, the other was normally right there to offer support.

But instead, you walked in separately.

Luckily, everyone seemed too starstruck to gripe about anything. It ended up being a pretty nice time. You signed some comics and chatted to some fans. One girl even told you about a tattoo dedicated to your character that she was going to get. You almost had a heart attack when she asked you to write down her favorite line of yours, so that she could add that to the tattoo. Afterwards, Mackie had teased you about how much your hand was shaking when you were writing it. It looked like Sebastian was about to say something, but then a camera was suddenly in your face and he disappeared to the other side of the store.

After buying a couple of comics for yourself, you and Lizzie found yourselves in the corner of the store playing with a Scarlet Witch doll that you had bought for her. You didn’t notice when she looked up with a small frown on her face, but you did feel the hand that came to rest on your waist. You looked around quickly, making sure that no cameras were on you, before meeting Sebastian’s eyes.

“What are you doing, Seb?” you whispered. Without you realizing, Lizzie snuck away to give the two of you some privacy. Or as much privacy as you can get when you’re wearing a mic and possibly being filmed.

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry about earlier. I guess I just got kind of jealous and I snapped a little.”

“Jealous?” You put your hand on Sebastian’s arm to keep him in place when you felt him begin to back away. “Jealous about what, Sebastian?”

“I don’t know.” He waved his hand around a bit at the rest of the group. “Just seeing your hands all over Paul and joking around with everyone around you.”

“Lizzie and I were forcibly putting sunscreen on Paul. I did that to you before we left the house this morning. I don’t think you have anything to be jealous about.” You couldn’t help but roll your eyes at him.

“Sometimes it just feels like you always have everyone’s attention and you’re joking around with all of them and you never pay attention to me.” You pressed your lips together to keep from laughing at the adorable pout on Sebastian’s face. “And I know that we kind of have to ignore each other sometimes because we don’t want people to know about us, but I just always wish that I could be joking around with you too. I have so much fun talking to you and being around you, and seeing other people having fun around you when I can’t is just annoying sometimes. It’s like I always want to be right next to you.”

You placed a gentle hand on Sebastian’s cheek, making him meet your eyes. “I always want to be next to you too. And most of the time when I’m joking around with other people, I’m wishing that you were there too. But right now, we should get back to the others. It’ll be a miracle if we haven’t been caught on camera.”

“Oh I asked Anthony to make sure that no one would be paying attention to this side of the store.”

“Is that why he’s been yelling for the past few minutes?”

“He’s the best choice for a distraction, unfortunately.” You grinned at Sebastian as you wrapped your arms around him. Smiling back, he planted a quick kiss on your forehead.

“That’s way too bold,” you scolded him. Still, you couldn’t help but laugh. “There’s no way we would be able to explain that away if anyone saw. Way too many questions.”

You began to walk away, but Sebastian pulled you back to him. “Let them ask questions. The premiere is soon and they’ll have their answers then.”

“Oh they will?” You raised your eyebrows in mock confusion.

“Of course. When we go together. How does that sound?”

“Sounds like a date.” The two of you smiled at each other and were about to lean in for a kiss when Anthony was suddenly pulling Sebastian away.

“Break it up, lovebirds. I thought I was providing a distraction so you two could make up, not so you could make out. Now come on, Sebastian. We need to take a picture with that Spiderman statue outside.” 

Sebastian gave you a shrug as Anthony dragged him outside. You rolled your eyes at their antics, then followed the rest of the cast as they began to make their way outside and back to the bus. You had stopped to admire Benedict’s drawing skills when Lizzie was suddenly clutching your arm and squealing. She, of course, had seen everything, though she assured you that everyone had tried their best to be as entertaining as possible on the other side of the store, so that no cameras would be on you.

You wore a smile for the rest of the tour. Lizzie kept teasing you every time you and Sebastian would sneak glances at each other. Not that you could really sneak glances when you had to turn around constantly to look at him. Once again, you got way too into the singalong. This time, Sebastian yelled encouragement at you as you sang off key.

By the time you reached the studio again, you had decided that this was really the best way to do a press tour. You waved goodbye to James and Hemsworth and you climbed off the bus. Before you could take more than a few steps, Sebastian had picked you up and was spinning you around.

“How have you two not spilled the beans yet?” Paul asked as everyone watched in amusement.

“You weren’t even being subtle at the comic shop,” Benedict pointed out.

“Y’all are lucky that the cameras love me so much that they weren’t looking at you,” Mackie joked.

Apparently, the cameras didn’t love Mackie as much as he thought. When the video came out, some eagle eyed fans spotted the two of you looking cozy in the background of a shot. Some people argued that it was impossible to say for certain that it was you and Sebastian, but your Twitter and Instagram notifications were full of people asking if you and Sebastian were dating.

The two of you decided to ignore the questions. Lucky for you, Marvel made it very clear to all of the interviewers that there should be no questions about anyone’s personal lives. All focus was to be on the movie. So you kept the fans guessing until the two of you showed up to the premiere arm in arm.

Unfortunately, there were plenty of people more focused on your relationship than on the movie, so there were plenty of articles about the two of you. Apparently, you were Marvel’s new power couple. As long as you had Sebastian, that was a title you could live with.

For the Best (Regulus Black x James Potter)

Hello babes! I haven't written in a while, and I'm so excited to get back into it! If you guys want anything specific, please send in an ask or a request and I'd be so ecstatic to write it! As always, be kind <3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Can't you just listen to me Reg?" James pleaded with the younger boy.

"No James, I don't think you understand what I am trying to tell you. It'll never work out between us so I'm ending it now."

"Why are you being so pessimistic about this? Why do you think we're destined to fall apart?"

"Because we're just too different James, surely to god even you can see that?" In reality, the last thing Regulus Black wanted to do was give up James Potter. For the first time in his life he wasn't 'Regulus Arcturus Black, the Most Noble House of Black,' he was just Reggie. Or Reg. Or my love. For the first time in his life, Regulus could be his own person. James didn't care about blood status, houses, or Regulus' family.

What James did care about, was standing up for what's right. He cared for the first years Barty would hex in the hallways just because he was bored. He cared about making sure the muggleborn students felt safe in their school. He cared about standing up to Voldemort and making sure that he wouldn't be able to ruin the Wizarding World. He would care if he found the mark on the inside of Regulus' left arm, committing him to the very person James hated.

"Regulus why do you care so much about what everyone else says? Look at Remus and Sirius, look at Marls and Dorcas. Not a single person in this school cares about their relationships being same-sex, so chances are they wouldn't care about us being together."

"Oh fuck off with that bullshit James. Of course, no one in the school cares about the Griffindor golden kids kissing someone with the same parts as them, because in everyone's minds you guys can do no wrong."

"So that's what it is because we're in different houses?"

"No James houses has nothing to do with it, it's just-"

"Just what Reg? Because for me, the past year has been fucking amazing and I don't want to give it up this easy."

"Do you really think this is fucking easy for me James? Jesus fucking Christ you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I don't want to lose you but it's hurting me to stay. It hurts me to know I could hurt you, and you don't deserve that. You deserve love like Remus and Sirius. You deserve someone who believes in you wholeheartedly. James Potter, you deserve someone better than me. You deserve someone who isn't broken on the inside."

James walked over to Regulus who was crying now, put his arms around the other boy and cradled him gently. James had never seen such emotion from Regulus before and it hurt him that it was so negative.

"Regulus listen to me, I don't deserve anyone better than you. You're the best of the best and I won't have anything else. I want to be there for you in every way I can." "You really mean that James? In any way I need?"

"Of course, my love. What do you need?"

"I need you to leave, James. Go now, before it's too late. Walk away right now." "Why are you so insistent on us breaking up, Reg? Why can't we be together?"

"Because of this," Regulus pulled up his sleeve to show James his arm, "because I am the total and complete opposite of you James."

James stared at Regulus' arm with a blank face. He watched the serpent move around the skull in a menacing way. He didn't know what to think. How could Regulus do this? Why would he do this? He's only sixteen.

He was still staring at it when Regulus spoke again. "James, say something."

"Dumbledore can remove it, I know he can. Surely there has to be a way to remove it from a minor who was forced to, we can go talk to-"

"James I wasn't forced to get the mark, I chose it for myself."

"What? What do you mean, you chose it for yourself?"

"I mean this, right here, this is what I believe in. I wanted to get the mark, I wanted to serve Lord Voldemort."

"Well then, well then I'll join you."

"James, no. You aren't wired the same way I am. You would never be happy and you'd always resent me, and I don't want that. James, please just go."

"Regulus please, don't do this. I can't live without you. I don't want anyone else, no one makes me feel like you do. When I even think about you I get butterflies. Please, stay with me."

"Fine James, if you won't go then I will."

With that statement, Regulus stood up and left. He left James there with a broken look on his face and a broken heart. It hurt Regulus to leave, but who knows how much he could've hurt James if he stayed. Leaving was for the best, right?

Sirius and Peter's friendship

I think this relationship is underrated. And I get it, Peter ends up blaming everything on Sirius and sending him to Azkaban. But I think they deserve better. I mean it's easy to say they weren't that close, so the betrayal isn't that painful. But it was painful. We can tell how betrayed Sirius was in Prisoner of Azkaban. He was hurt that Peter could do something like that.

So here's how I think their friendship was. Peter for me isn't shy. He's very talkative when he is nervous or excited which ends up being a bit annoying. James was the one that rejected Peter at first. I just picture James as this spoiled kid who think he is better than everyone. And he only wanted Sirius to be his best friend. While Sirius was a curious little boy that was only raised among purebloods and with only Reggie as his friend, he was curious of everyone who was different and wanted to get to know them better. So in my head, it was Sirius who got easy on their roommates Remus and Peter and suggested James to let them join the gang. Of course James ends up liking Remus and Peter and later loving them as his brothers.

In most fics that I've read, they barely interact with each other. But I think they did. Sirius loved Peter and the way of showing it, was bothering him like an older brother would. I think they are opposites. In every sense. And they would constantly criticize each other's decisions in clothes, study methods, the way they talk to girls. And they are constantly bickering. Until Sirius starts tickling Peter or rubbing his hair desperately and Peter would act as if he is annoyed but secretly enjoys the attention. Because Sirius likes him and he is part of the group. We need more of these interactions.

I'll make an example:

Imagine the Marauders getting ready for a Hogsmeade Day. Out of their uniforms using regular clothes.

Sirius: What the fuck are you wearing?

Peter: What do mean a hoodie?

Sirius: Well it's stupid.

Peter: What do you mean it is stupid? It's my favorite hoodie?

Sirius: Listen Wormy boo if you want to get a girl...

Peter: OH shut up! You dress like a skank.

Remus: *amused*

James: *surprised*

Sirius: Excuse me?

Peter: You dress like a girly whore!

Sirius: This is what Rockstars wear. Update yourself.

Peter: You look like a girl.

Sirius: Shut up!!

Sirius tackles him to the bed and stars tickling Peter.

Peter: *screams* HELP

Peter: REMUS

Peter: JAMES

Remus and James don't do anything. They just stare at each other.

Peter: Get OFF MEEE

Peter: JAMES

James: Okay Sirius don't be a total beast

James: Stop boys.

Remus: *Just stares amused*

Peter: AAAAAH

Sirius: *gets bored and tired and stops proceeding to continue getting ready*

Peter: FOR FUCKS SAKE

In conclusion, Sirius and Peter are these siblings who get the shit out of each other. And it looks like they detest each other. But actually, they love each other.

[faorism]

needing the au to drop wherein i can commit to writing a historical au,, because since i first watched the db cooper job my mind went straight to OT3! OT3! OT3! (unlike with the van gogh job, since i aint playing with that fucking lieutenant)

one day maybe one dayyyyy i will sit down and i will write the ot3 into that episode's story. so, it'll be the backgrounds for the characters in the flashback (so, stephanie ritter, steve reynolds, and reggie wilkins), but with the necessary personality adjustments (parker, eliot, and hardison respectively). basically, vintage ot3 with some hot as hell aesthetics and secrets and avoiding as much as possible producing copraganda.

so. my thoughts. what i see happening. and this got super long so im throwing this under a cut. and for ease i will call them by their modern day canon names except when making a point.

first, general thoughts about the characters.

and so: steve to eliot. nothing much here on the surface. eliot still volunteers, too much an indoctrinated white man to have been forcibly drafted. so its still one man gone to war. one man come back. eliot would had been noticed early in training for his ability to pick shit up, and they teased at maybe sending him to a special unit. maybe they do, or maybe they don't because they just need to funnel fuckers to the jungle. the vietnam invasion was a terrorist imperialist venture and there's no romanticizing from me about anything done being at all valorous or special or brother-in-arms'y. and eliot commits war crimes under the american stars and stripes instead of just to keep moreau's champaign running. but also maybe moreau is eliot's superior. he certainly would have been rewarded for this ruthlessness. (eliot of course strove to impress moreau because there aint an eliot spencer who wasn't that man's dog at some point, i!!!! dont make the rules). eliot's friend died and eliot's gone off to carry out his wishes and moreau lets him because he Knows eliot is gonna come back. whether its to come back to the same squad, or follow him into deeper spy shit for the military, or to fuck off and go private. then eliot meets parker.

now. stephanie to parker. beth plays normal so well im mad at her, but there's something edgy and strategic about stephanie that i think parker can grab onto. i feel that maybe she was kind of a thief still, but there's more realism to this world so archie wasnt a super secret spy with lasers to practice with, but just a guy with sticky fingers whos a little bored and wants a protege. parker is good really good at what she does, and not having to deal with lasers makes me easy. but she's into scams that are less grifts and more Catch Me If You Can slight of hands. she's always looking for easy money (she was into lifting cars at one point! literally she follows where the crime is). she's doing something in an airport and someone tries to recruit her as a flight attendant because she's got the Look. and yall, flight attendants? that shit was like being a model and an astronaut and a time traveler back then. and according to a teacher i had, who once worked as in the f.a. union, those ladies back in the day were rad and queer and free spirited and runnnnning shit. i think, yes, it's a Job which i think we might resist placing parker into. but! of the jobs, at the time, i really see her rocking it during the time period. (also come on, the opportunities to swindle distracted people of their shit would be endless. they would just think they dropped their stuff in the airport! not that it was stolen.)

finally, reggie to alec. i think hardison will be the hardest to translate. even tho i admittedly listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, i dont know much about fbi life and also definitely don't know about it historically. part of me desperately wants to put him somewhere else even if it does have to stay within the fbi. i might cheat and make him like a Q(uartermaster) to 007/00s like in james bond, and he's like UGH this is horrible god i hate working for the fbi but they will give me funding so...... anyway, here's this totally cool [radio term]. that said, if hardison is stuck in the fbi, why he ends up there is that he is a fucking savant when it comes to research and the man can put together a presentation like no one else. that white man gets all the credit for profiling but it was hardison who goddamn was the google of the microfilm days. reggie felt super square but that might be because he had to deal with mcsweeties db cooper shit day in and day out for years. hardison is more himself. and definitely still a nerd. alec would be into dime fantasy novels and comics and ham radios and oh god he also would be into star trek like the original star trek as it came out and he would be into the zines yes! yessss. omg. also he plays a mean arcade cabinet. but he's mostly well adjusted but lonely. his colleagues dont appreciate him because fbi esp during that time were fucking wilding out and racist as hell aaaaaand im sorry im srry im trying so hard to have fbi hardison make sense but also! acab. ANYWAY.

second, the relationship

i think it would be fun to play with what it means to have parker/eliot start off first and bring in hardison afterwards. (if white collar is your thing, it would be like this canon divergent ot3 fic wherein peter burke is the last to join in.) i feel they would be Super Intense esp since they are carrying this big ass secret. kind of broken and dysfunctional and there's the passion and the commitment, but i think there's also a tenderness that's super hard for them to achieve? and i think there's a way that hardison plays such an important part in who they are and how they are. like, sure i think parker/eliot would have joy but they won't have levity. they would have compassion but they won't have gentleness.

eliot meets hardison after being recruited by nate. i think they get close because while nate and eliot have an interesting and compelling mentorship/friendship, nate is still eliots superior; sometimes its nice to complain about your boss, as hardison will say to eliot to try to make friends. i think hardison and eliot would become legit friends and not just work buddies because they are just not cut out of the same cloth as the rest of their colleagues. they grab beers after work. after hard days, hardison cajoles eliot into going to the arcade. they are friends. real real truly deep best friends, in a way hardison didn't think he could have with a fed and eliot didnt think he would have after his friend died. but also? they are like "buds" who are buds who are desperately tryna to cross any lines because there's a.... tension? an UST between them they dont know what to do with.

parker meets eliot by way of a "lets have my friend for dinner, he's a blast." and immediately immediately hardison is like... wow this woman is beautiful but like, really attracted to her personality. and parker things hardison is kinda dorky but cute dorkie? anyway, they have a puppy love situation growing. and it keeps growing until bam. eliot and parker are like. are we into alec???? fuck we are aren't we.

i think stephanie and steve would never tell reggie (even if somehow they were to be a thing). but parker and eliot? hell yeah they tell hardison. eventually. after a while. sooner than maybe they should. the tension if they should say something is one of the things that build up as UST between them for so long; parker and eliot know they are carrying this huge thing. two huge things. eliot being db cooper and also their massive crush on him.

if i could control myself to stick to a pwp, it would be another christmas. maybe the christmas nine (more?) years down the road. the damn snow grounded hardison's flight back to his nana's, and parker and eliot hear this and invite him over. the egg nog gets flowing and parker eventually is like,, fuck this. and comes onto hardison. and hardison would be like wow wow what but... idk, free love and swinging were In The Thoughts And Minds Of The People. he still checks in with eliot who is like. her body, man; i aint gonna tell her what to do. and for a sec hardison is like, man is this a cuck situation? i guess i can be for it but also...... aint mad if i aint alone. and eliot is so grateful and idk. i just want them all to be happy and having fun and no one to be left out. and yeah i am kinda brushing over a lot of the racial politics which, in a more developed fic rather than a pwp, would definitely need to be brought in; but idk that needs to just be in the bedrock of whatever plot is going into this.

it takes a lot of maneuvering of their lives but they make it work and eventually hardison is a keeper of eliot's secret too.

(apart from the historical aspect, another reason i probably won't actually write this is because i know myself. i would want to do worldbuilding. i would follow eliot and alec to their jobs, but i wouldnt want to write outright copaganda. the grit/realism i would be comfortable with would take a level of research i dont think i can commit to. but if someone wants to take this up or if you figure out a way around this issue, pls do i wont be mad)
