#jegulus sad

i’m convinced that james would think regulus was giving him the silent treatment every time they had a disagreement, but regulus had seen his brother punished severely and repeatedly for his inability to control his emotions so many times growing up and he’d developed the survival skill of shutting down every time he felt like james was upset with him

James, married: *giggles behind blanket* so who do u have a crush on?

Regulus, his husband of 10 years: oh for fuck sake

[aithusarosekiller]

Jegulus soulmates au where you get your soulmark at 18 so James ends up getting his pretty soon after the breakup and it completely shatters him knowing that the one person he's destined to love is the one he can't have

But he forces himself to move on and covers the very clear leo constellation and RAB on his shoulder as much as he can.

They don't talk again so regulus doesn't see his until his 18th birthday, while he's in the cave, seconds from dying, and an antler with James' initials on his right arm, perfectly paralleling the dark mark

The last thing he ever sees is proof that it was all real and it was all worth it because just for a while they'd been able to have each other, and in another life they would again

thinking about how people who refuse to read WIPS have never experienced the joy of that ao3 email for an update you weren't expecting and not being able to think of anything else until you get to read it

More Jegulus hc:

When James and regulus dated during Hogwarts, James was always scared for regulus when it's time to go back for summer break.

He was always worried about what they did to him back in Grimmauld Place.

So they got matching tattoos that tracked eachother's heath, if regulus was injured or in pain it would flicker slightly and dim a little.

James got the Leo constellation on his right hip, the regulus star shone brightly when regulus was safe and healthy.

Regulus got a sun on his collarbone, close to his shoulders.

Even after their break up (after reg took the mark) James would still see the star on his hip shinning, sure it was dimmer than how it was back in Hogwarts but it was there.

However on the night, that fateful night in which regulus decided to be brave for once, James felt that deep down that something was wrong

That something made itself clear when he went to shower that night and saw that the star on his hip had ceased to glow at all.

The next morning, on the daily prophet he saw it.

The news of Regulus' death.

He felt a greif so deep it shattered his bones.

What he didn't know was that the sun on Regulus' collarbone, which was glowing brightly like James himself, was a small comfort for him before he died.

Regulus died thinking that James was still alive, away somewhere, happy.

regulus is one of the best characters ever to be protagonist of a love story because he’s so prickly and detached on the outside but his inner monologue when he sees someone he likes is literally just please love me back please love me back please never leave even when i try to make you please hold me please love be back- like how is that not foundation for the Best kind of pining in a story

[ecstarry]

James who always jumps too fast into relationships who has never cared for a slow burn who just wants to feel and feel and feel and is always looking for the high of the chase. James who meets Regulus and wants to take his time, who doesn't care about going slow because he's savoring every little step they take, basking on the first time Regulus calls him "mine", giddy over the first time they confess it's more than just a crush. James who now daydreams about everything he knows they'll get to have, who saves songs and pictures to show Regulus because they remind him of them. James who is in no rush because he knows he'll have Regulus for a long long time

i want james potter who just when he starts dating regulus/lily, is so surprised when the actually want to hang out with him, have dates with him which dont just lead to having sex.

the first time the decide to have a sleepover, things begin to escalate, and after james declines, he makes out to leave, hes told that its fine if they dont have sex, not everything has to end with sex.

and james is just like 🧍‍♂️ when hes told that his worth is not defined by his body. hes so confused because his previous partners always complimented his toned body as they traced their fingers all over them, but when now hes praised for his mind, eyes, heart and soul, he finds that once empty feeling replaced by an ooey gooey one, and he realised oh. this is what love is supposed to feel like.

Sirius Black would wear a shirt that says "best dogfather ever" at Harry's birthday because him and James thinks it's hilarious and would laugh their ass off.

effie used to let james ‘help’ her to cook while he was growing up, but he always made much more of a mess than actually helping. when regulus moved in, he offered to help effie as a way to give something back, and she taught him everything she knew, recipes and all!

when she died, regulus started cooking for james. it took one dish of effie’s special pasta to send james into a breakdown, because his mum might be gone, but her legacy lives on.

I’m hearing a lot of “what if James convinced Regulus to run away” and not a lot of “what if Regulus convinced James to run away”

“hold” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 289 words

Regulus comes home to find James sitting on the couch, leaning back into the corner, fidgeting with his fingers and staring blankly at nothing. Regulus sits on the couch beside him—close, but not touching yet.

They sit quietly for a moment before Regulus breaks the silence that fills the room. “Are you okay?” He whispers.

James continues to stare and nods his head numbly. “I just feel…” He starts after a moment. “…off… weird… I don’t know.” He continues with a sigh.  

Regulus nods understandingly, and they fall into silence again.

“Is there anything I can do?” Regulus says softly after a few minutes.

James is quiet for several long moments. “Can you just hold me for a little while?” He asks, barely above a whisper.

Regulus’ lips tick up in a tiny smile and he shuffles over to wrap his arms around James. “I’ll hold you for as long as you need me to.” He whispers.

James melts into Regulus' arms with a sigh. “Do you know how much I love you?”

“Almost as much as I love you.” Regulus tells him and James lifts his head to fondly narrow his eyes at him.    

Regulus breathes a soft chuckle as he maneuvers them to lay down on the couch. James has his head resting on Regulus’ chest and their legs are tangled together. One of Regulus’ arms is wrapped around James’ shoulders and his hand is continuously carding through his hair, his other hand is running up and down James’ side.

They lay on the couch, talking about everything and nothing and just existing together. Regulus kisses the top of James’ head or squeezes him tightly or whispers sweet reassurances over and over. And Regulus holds James for as long as he needs.

thinking about frat boy James who tells Regulus he doesn't do "relationships" and Regulus agrees to just be casual and see other people which is completely fine... until there's a party they both attend with different dates and James sees Regulus with someone else for the first time and he loses his fucking mind
