#just a little bit of jegulus

[mairon-goth-minion]

okay, I know that Regulus is often portrayed as not knowing how to swim (and I’m totally on board), but I have to consider the opposite.

I mean, c’mon, Regulus Black, heir of his House, has to be athletic. Imagine: seeker of his quidditch team; loves sneaking out at night to swim in the lake (with the occasional skinny dipping with Rosekiller of course), maybe stumbles upon James one of those nights, when the Gryffindor was trying to prank someone; and my boy is a runner (just imagine fast little reggie trying to escape from Barty and Evan, who want to dye his hair blond -adorable- (obviously they end up dying his hair (obviously James nearly has a heart attack when he sees him BLOND (maybe a nosebleed too, we never know)))

okay I maybe got a little sidetracked. But a Reggie who runs and swims? I would DIE for him.

James: Ooh here’s a story I like to tell people before we started dating. Even Regulus doesn’t know it—

Regulus: I know it.

James: Wait what-

Regulus: Yeah, the time you stole my zippo and didn’t give it back until we officially started dating?

James, appalled:

Regulus: James. Did you really think I wouldn’t have noticed? I smoked a lot. It was a personalised zippo as well.

James: What, so you just let me have it?

Regulus: Yes, my love. I knew you’d give it back eventually.

James, muttering under his breath but holds Regulus’ hand tighter:

"Stop moving," Regulus shoves James' shoulders back down, his palm laid out wide against his back.

James sighs, moving his neck regardless trying to look over at him, "I want to see!"

"It's not done yet," Regulus grumbles, reaching forward to move his head back to staring straight. Not before James caught a glimpse of him with a paint brush tucked between his teeth.

They've been sitting here for almost an hour, with James' chest pressed into blankets that don't do much protecting him from the hard wood floor, and Regulus straddled over his back. It was James' idea, after he spent too many nights with Regulus pretending to paint against his back while they were lying together before they slept he suggested Regulus just do the real thing. James could sit all nice and Regulus could use his body as a canvas. And it was nice. For about ten minutes before James remembered how impatient he is especially when Regulus is so close and he's only been able to get small glimpses of him over the past hour.

Regulus let James pick out the playlist thinking it would help with him getting fidgety but it went rough too many songs ago and his phone is much too far away for him to reach now. Plus Regulus is far too in it now for James to ask to take a break.

"How much longer?" James asks softly.

Regulus doesn't answer at first, and James thinks he's ignoring him on purpose. He wouldn't be surprised and it certainly wouldn't be the first time. When Regulus gets in a passion like this he's normally gone to the rest of the world. James could have entered his studio and been sitting there for an hour and Regulus wouldn't know a thing. He falls out of it eventually, and then jumps out of his skin when he sees James sitting on the couch watching him and demands to know how long he's been in there. James never finds himself answering, he just smiles softly at him instead.

"It's done," Regulus murmurs, completing one more brush stroke before getting off him and sticking the brush in the water right beside him.

"Wait, really?" James goes to move before Regulus pushes him back down.

"You're gonna smudge it," Regulus tells him.

"I want to see it!" James repeats, looking behind him to catch Regulus rolling his eyes before he grabs his phone.

"Lay back down," Regulus demands, but it doesn't really come off that way, he's soft around the edges, James swears.

Wordlessly Regulus hands James the phone to reveal what he's done. As expected it's a landscape. Regulus has gotten really into them lately, there's at least a dozen half finished ones sprawled around their apartment. This one is of the sea, with the sun creeping over the horizon. It mixes with the water, becoming one with the tide. James thinks it's the most beautiful painting he's ever seen.

Carefully he sits up to face Regulus properly, "It's beautiful."

Regulus hums, indifferent, as he always does, "My canvas wasn't very cooperative. It could've been better."

James just smiles at him softly, cupping his cheek to pull him forward. Regulus goes easily, giving in to his kiss. When James pulls away he says, "I don't think I'll ever be able to wash it off."

"If you refuse to take a shower I'll break up with you," Regulus says, getting up and grabbing his paints with him.

"Hey!" James exclaims, turning to follow him with his gaze.

Regulus glances back at him before dumping out his cup in the sink.

James sighs, before he sits up straighter, "What if you tattoo it?"

Regulus' silence is an answer in itself.

25 days of Jegumas - Day 1 and day 5: snowflakes and snowball fight -  words: 597 - @noblehouseofgay

Ships: Jegulus, Rosekiller, Dorlene, Wolfstar, Pandalily, and Platonic Moonwater. (All my favorites)

Most people assumed that James’ favorite part of the year was summer. The warm sunny days, no school, and, of course, quidditch. And he did love it. But really, he loved winter the most. And his favorite thing about it was the snow. 

“Prongs! On your left!”

James turned quickly to see a snowball wizzing toward him. 

Just not quick enough.

The snowball hit him square in the chest and he stumbled backwards from the force of it. 

“I meant move not just look at it!” Sirius shouted from across the courtyard. He was a bit too busy to say anything else though as both Evan and Barty pelted him with snowballs. He was covered from head to toe in snow and had long since stopped making snowballs and was just flinging fistfuls of snow back at them as fast as he could. He intermittently howled for Remus to come help him. So far, it seemed Remus was content to let his boyfriend fend for himself. 

In the middle of courtyard, Dorcas and Marlene were in a sort of stand-of. They had abandoned the snowball fight between the two friend groups and were now circling each other with their wands in hand. James wasn’t sure if it would end with them dueling or making out. Both seemed just as likely. 

Pandora and Lily also seemed to not be as interested in the battle anymore. The two girls sat by a tree off to the side and it looked like Pandora was showing Lily some spells to turn the snowballs into different shapes. Perhaps it’s a good thing they weren’t participating anymore. The large star made out of snow looked like it would be quite painful if it hit someone. 

But, then who threw—

A laugh from behind James made him turn immediately. 

He knew that laugh. 

Regulus and Remus, the only two of their friends who had chosen not to take part in the snowy war, had sat at bench together. “To compare notes” on a few subjects. Sirius had declared this was treason but promptly got over it. Secretly, James thinks Sirius was actually happy that his brother and his boyfriend get along. 

But now. Now, Regulus was laughing. Laughing at James. And it was lovely. 

James stepped closer to the bench where Regulus sat. From here, he could see that the cold had caused a pink tinge to spread across Regulus’ usually pale face. James could see that a few snowflakes had fallen on his eyelashes. And Regulus was smiling. Merlin, just looking at that smile made James feel like he wasn’t cold at all. 

“Er, right, okay, I think I’m gonna go save Sirius now.” Remus laughed as he quickly stood up and jogged away. 

“Lupin! Don’t you dare leave me here with—“ Regulus began yelling at Remus’ retreating figure. He trailed off and sighed as the other boy ran away. 

“Did you throw that snowball at me?” James asked while beaming and looking like being hit by said snowball was the best thing that ever happened to him. 

Regulus raised an eyebrow, clearly trying to look unamused. James knew better though. He had heard him laugh. James made Regulus laugh. Yes, Regulus was making fun of James, but honestly that doesn’t really matter, James still made him laugh. 

“Don’t be ridiculous, Potter. I do not throw snowballs. It’s undignified.”

Regulus raised his wand. A single snowball shot into the air from the ground. 

With the faintest trace of a smile, Regulus pointed his wand at James and the snowball hurled itself toward him.

The thing about having a crush on your older brother’s best friend is that the best friend is awarded the privilege of not even having to be attractive to be considered ‘hot’, he is just naturally hot because of his status as the older brother’s best friend, it’s like an airport crush, outside of the airport I would probably not even look twice at you, but we’re in the airport so now I’m giggling every time we make eye contact.

And this applies to jegulus imo because I’d like to think James Potter had that same awkward phase all kids did and I’d also like to think that little regulus found him mouth watering anyway simply because of the older brothers best friend status, like oh yeah here comes that dude who hasn’t grown into his ears yet, has half of his face covered by his hair and wears glasses that make his eyes look ten times bigger and oh yeah I am in love with him and I’m planning our wedding. And then puberty hits of course and suddenly all these new bitches are ogling over what regulus has loved since day ONE and he’s like???? Back tf off I bagsied that years ago I loved him when he was ugly who even are you?

And then one day when they’re married and living in their dream house with all their kids, Regulus will stare at his husband and he’ll get a glimpse of that same goofy, lanky, adorable boy who had the magic ability to make him blush by doing nothing but smile at him from across the hall in his older brother’s room.

I absolutely HATE when people see their favourite character making a bad decision/messing up/having questionable morals in a fic and go

“that’s not my sweet little -name- they’re perfect and can’t do any wrong and this fic is now horrible because I don’t agree with how you wrote the characters”

like your right that’s not your sweet little -name- it’s theirs!! It’s the person who wrote the bloody fics characterisation and if you don’t like it then don’t read it omg

[astrophysicistnotastronaut]

I absolutely understand Zar’s decision to take a step back from the fandom (bc fair enough) and wish him all the best, but I won’t lie I cried a lil after realising I won’t get to finish the incredible fic that I started literally this morning...

Prompt 25 - Headlights

@jegulus-microfic April 25, Word count 310

Previous part First part

James turned to Regulus as the wind whirled around them, flooding his senses with the boy sitting so close beside him. He froze like a deer in the headlights when their eyes connected, and so did Regulus. 

He swallowed hard and shuffled closer, only an inch, testing the waters. He’d never felt an attraction this strong before, and it was an attraction. Something about his best friend’s brother was drawing him in, and he didn’t resist the pull. 

He shuffled again. Regulus was still frozen. They sat so close together now their icy breaths mingled together, swirling in the breeze and disappearing into the dark abyss. 

James’s eyes flickered down to where Regulus’s hand lay splayed on the stone floor, less than an inch from his own. He raised his eyes again and saw the nervous glint in Regulus’s eyes but also the curiosity that was slowly burning.

James let his little finger slide across the cold floor until it barely brushed against Regulus’s. 

To his surprise, Regulus closed the gap and linked their fingers together. James gasped. His breathing increased as the wind swirled in a crescendo, urging them together. 

Regulus shuffled closer, raising his free hand to cup James’s cheek. Their faces were so close James could make out the silver and blue flecks in Regulus’s grey eyes. 

“James,” The other boy whispered. A shudder went down James’s spine at the sound of his name coming from those lips. Those lips that were so close he could almost… 

He moved, leaning into Regulus’s palm and tilting his head forward. Regulus’s breath hitched as he neared, but he didn’t back away.

“Who’s there?” Came the wheezy voice of the school caretaker, Mr Filch. James flung the invisibility cloak over them silently just as Flich’s head came bobbing into view as he climbed the last few steps into the Tower.

sometimes when I get like rolls on the side of my stomach I feel very fat, but then I think of dass James gaining weight and developing these too and being self conscious cause Regulus looved seeing his abs, but actually Regulus also adores the fat rolls and calls them love rolls, because they mean James’ love for regulus was finally stronger than addiction and that’s hotter than any abs could ever be

[car-bear]

i totally understand james potter and regulus black because i still long for that relationship i had at 15

everyone believes it meant nothing because we were young and it didn’t last as long as i would have wanted to but it still is and will probably always will be the deepest relationship i’ve ever had

no one has ever beaten the level of understanding we had, we were kids and didn’t understand love but it was all consuming it was everything, she was everything

and my chest gets tight and my heart still aches whenever i think about her and all the possibilities

we were young and we were scared but we were in love

[youremymoony]

i think i’m going to reread just lovers even though i read it only a few months ago just because i can’t remember it that well and i really want to read intermission but i feel like i have to remember just lovers really well in order to enjoy it so yay here we go again

[nettedtangible]
