#lily and regulus

[managone16]

Lily and Regulus in a corner talking when they see James coming over: Regulus: Wanna make him think we’re conspiring against him? Lily: Fuck yeah. *James approaches* Lily: So you wanna do it? Regulus: Of course. At night right? Lily: Midnight sharp. Regulus: Should we use a scalpel or a dagger? James: what are you guys talking about? Lily and Regulus: Nothing. Regulus, in a silky voice: Not about you, James don’t worry. James: *Panicked all of a sudden*

The library trio and their group chat part 4:

Regulus: If one more person asks me if I’m Sirius’ twin, I’m hexing them.

Lily: Just say you’re his evil clone.

Remus: Say you’re his smarter clone.

Regulus: Smarter and hotter. Let’s be accurate.

*Silence in the group chat*

*3 hours later

Regulus:"well I said I'm his evil clone and I made a first year cry"

Sirius: wait so you left Regulus with Lily?

James: yeah why?

Sirius: you don’t see the problem?

James: she said she would take care of him

[with Lily and Regulus in muggle london]

Lily: Please, Reg, the microwave isn’t trying to attack you

Regulus: Then why was it beeping at me?

Lily: Beacause the food is done!

Regulus: oh! So you’re in on the conspiracy are you? I’m not eating your poisoned food!

Lily: it’s not! Well - okay microwaves may add some radiation to your food but not enough to kill you

Regulus: I knew it!

Regulus: How could you have sex with her, you’re gay???

James: I don’t believe gay or straight. I refuse to limit pleasure, I’ll like to think of myself as pansexual

Lily and Regulus look at each other

Lily (in horror): Oh my god he’s been humping my pans!?!

[iwriteasfotini]

Lily remembered with amusement Remus’ reaction to having spent a day with James and Regulus on James’ birthday last spring. During a patrol they had talked about how they didn’t think anyone could ever love the way those two loved each other. There were scarcely words to describe it and Lily had her own soul bond, for Merlin’s sake. 

Thus Lily gladly excused herself, butterflies filling her stomach as she slipped back out the front door and walked the several blocks to a home she was only too familiar with. 

As she got closer, the feeling inside her began to grow. It was true, everything Dumbledore and Perenelle had ever told her about physical proximity. She could feel him long before she knocked on the front door. Lily steeled herself in the seconds of silence, waiting for the door to open. She could do this. 

He opened the door, and she couldn’t. She flew into him with such force it knocked them back into the stair rail. He gripped her back, likely leaving bruises on her skin where his fingers pressed into her. This was why she had to stay away from Cokeworth. Because she could not—no matter how furious she was at him—restrain herself from the lure of her soulmate. 

Lily wanted to say something but instead she felt tears streaming down her face. 

“Oh, Lily,” Severus whispered. The relief in his voice moved her to pull back and press their lips together. Her face was wet with tears and her soul was on fire as Severus deepened their kiss. He had broken her heart over and over again. He had called her the worst possible name. He was hers. And she wanted all of him. 

There was a soft throat clearing from nearby, and Lily remembered Regulus. She stepped back, cheeks red, and quickly wiped her eyes. 

“Hey, Reg.” 

“Hi, Lily.” Lily reached out and hugged him. “Hey, um I’m glad you’re here but I’d really like some privacy, if you don’t mind. My house is empty though, can you hang out there until we come get you?”

“Sure.” Regulus whispered in Severus’ ear, and Severus looked unsure, but finally nodded quickly. Regulus retreated up the stairs before coming down with his rucksack slung over his shoulder. 

“Take as much time as you need, I’ve got my toothbrush and like five books.”

From The Changing Times - yet to be posted but currently being edited. :)

I'm happy to announce I'm about 6 chapters into editing and haven't wanted to stab myself in the eyeballs yet, so things are looking up, up, up!!! In fact, I was so enthralled I had one of those addictive binge editing sessions of my own work and stayed up far too late considering I'm still really sick.

I LOVE SNILY. I'm sorry if you don't.

I love Severus and Lily, and I think in all their imperfections they are so perfect for each other. I know I'm like one of 20 people who exist in Marauders fandom who is also waving pom-poms in their corner. I do not care. This world is fake. The characters don't exist. And the ships which speak to me are fully my own business, though I am going to write them into my works.

Fanon runs rampant in Marauders land. I urge you to never write a character or characterization off simply because it doesn't fit with the "trends." I wrote a lot of my series before I joined tumblr and was blissfully ignorant of much of fanon, though I am well versed in canon. The things I see people complain about sometimes make me think everyone needs to branch out! Remember the world is not made up of one type of character written one way. My whole series is written with canon in mind, which means Death Eaters are Death Eaters. They are also people who love and sacrifice and make choices. And everyone IS NOT FRIENDS.

It is still possible to enjoy characters who juxtapose each other. It is okay to like the bad guys and know they do awful things. These are not real people. What you like and what you write are not reflections of your own moral standards. I think the greatest disservice we can do to some of these characters is flatten them to make them "good". What kind of message does that send? That it is only okay to like one type of person, the good type? The type who doesn't make mistakes, who isn't malleable, who has perfect morals from the time they take their first breath. Those are not human beings. We go on about how much we don't like AI generated content (which is super valid because creative AI is just stupid), but we subconsciously selectively narrow our minds by what we consume. If it has to meet a very specific set of criteria you are very much running yourself repetitively into a brick wall.

Sorry, it's been a while since I had Snily content to advertise and it gets me a bit fired up as I know there are so many people in my area of fandom who simply cannot stand Severus. Such a shame, you are really missing out.

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

It was quiet. It wasn't a bad quiet, it was a sort of quiet that felt like what home should be. Comfortable. Safe. Tense, at times. It was a homely quiet.

----

Regulus Black had been having a shit day, a really, inevitably, utterly shit day. He's spent the Saturday doing all the unfun errands, alone nonetheless.

Lily was having afternoon tea with her girlfriends (platonic? Maybe not? He wasn't sure on the current crush status, he might ask tonight if she was 'round the house.) James was with Harry for the day, presumably at home, Regulus wasn't sure.

It wasn't a sunny day. Atleast not when Regulus was on his way home. It was raining, pouring, and the thunder screaming. He was a half block away, he could see Harry in his little red boots and a slytherin-green Pancho (it's a multi-house family, ofcourse Harry doesn't choose a team, what is the 4 year old? The sorting hat?)

Regulus can see James on the front stoop, under the over-hang 'Finally' Regulus thought, he gets to see his sun.

Regulus is 3 houses down when the sky decides to roar louder than a crashing plane. Regulus is 3 houses down when he suddenly cannot breathe. Regulus is 3 houses down when he feels like his lungs are filled with water and he's drowning again.

James Potter is standing outside, playing with Harry in the rain. Lily had gotten home a few minutes ago, she was inside getting clean clothes and making Harry a little snack as a surprise for the fawn. James Potter sees Regulus when he's half a block away, and he's excited to see his bright star again.

Regulus was a fast walker, he'd be home in a moment. James directed his attention back to Harry, who was splashing in puddles, and definitely was going to need a bath tonight

A sharp crack of thunder and lightning tore through the sky.

"Hey, little love, let's step inside and get dried off, Papa's right down the road!"

Harry giggled excitedly, "Yay!!" He turned to look down the street, and surely enough, his papa was right there. Something didnt look right, was papa crying..? "Dada, what's wrong with Papa?"

"What do you mean, little love?" James looked up the street, and 3 doors down, Regulus was frozen, face pale and hyperventilating, 'shit'

"I see little love, I don't think Papa is feeling very well, can you go inside and find Mama to help you with your rain clothes? We'll be inside shortly, okay Haz?"

"Okay Dada" Harry said nervously, he wanted to help, but he wasn't sure what was wrong, so he listened, pulling open the storm door and disappearing inside.

Regulus black was in James Potter's eyes within 30 seconds of sky's war cry.

"Love, it's me, you're okay, you're almost home, you're with me love, it's alright." James frantically reassured

Regulus could slowly ground himself, he was okay, he was almost home, he was with James.

"C'mon love, let's get you home, it's alright"

Regulus nodded, but he did not move. Thunder shook the sky, and Regulus jumped each time.

"It's okay love, I'll bring you home, I've got you, you're here, with me."

Regulus barely registered getting picked up, one of James arms wrapped around his lower back, and the other supporting his entire body under his legs. Regulus tucked his head in the curve of James neck, eyes closed.

"We're home, love"

'I'm home'

"We're safe, it's alright"

'I'm safe'

Regulus could see again, but he kept his eyes closed. It was too much to register right now. All he needed was James.

A moment ago, Lily had heard a tiny Harry potter crash into the house, rain boots being tossed to the floor, she set down her book immediately to find her little guy. When she stepped out of the living room, she saw a disturbed Harry, frantically trying to tear off his rain coat. The zipper caught.

"Hey little love what's wrong?" She tenderly asked. Harry got upset like this sometimes.

Harry just made a high-pitched, frantically sad noise

"Here Haz, let me help you" Lily zipped the coat back up a little to get it uncaught, and them back down and right off. Harry sniffled as small tears fell under his foggy glasses.

Sometimes it was hard to talk when Harry got upset, and all the adult new this, so it's best to stick to simple questions

"Uppies?" Lily offered, Harry nodded. As she picked him up she glanced out the storm door and saw Regulus in James' arms, and she peiced together the situation as best she could.

Lily carried Harry to the kitchen and set him on the counter as she spelled the kettle on. She walked to the fridge to pull out a small container, grabbed 2 spoons from the drawer, and walked back to stand next to Harry, handing him a spoon and giving him a little kiss on the head.

If Regulus had opened his eyes, he would have seen Harry and Lily eating sugar covered strawberries on the counter of the kitchen island. Regulus kept his eyes closed, he was fighting his own battle right now.

James carried Regulus to his room, dark and peppered with books and pens. Carefully, he placed Regulus on the floor in the back corner, Regulus's favorite place to sit, and sat down next to him. They shuffled around for a moment amongst the pillows and blankets, James wrapped Reg's favorite blanket around him, without a word. Did you need a word when you were home?

Regulus opened his eyes as soon as they reached his room, and as soon as he was on the floor wrapped in a blanket, he curled up all the way against the walls in the corner, protected by his sun.

James wrapped a comforting arm around Regulus, and pressed a loving kiss to his forehead. An unspoken 'you'll be alright, you aren't alone, I'm here with you, and I love you'

It was unclear how long they spent huddled in the corner together, but time didn't matter when they had the rest of their lives together.

A gentle knock came to the door, Regulus flinched but didn't jump. Lily cracked the door to peak inside. "Hey loves, if it's alright, Harry would like to come and bring you something?"

"Yeah, c'mon in fawn" Regulus quietly stated.

Harry stumbled in, holding a large mug that was only half full (a negotiation with no spilled fluids) and in dry clothes, although the scent of rain proved he still needed a bath tonight. His eyes were a little red, James felt a pang of guilt when he'd realized Harry had been crying, but he seemed alright now, and that's what matters.

"Hi Papa" Harry sniffled, holding out the mug of tea

"Hey, small star" Regulus took the tea and gave it a curious sip 'mint with just a little sugar' he thought, it was perfect.

Harry dug into his cargo short pocket and brought out a small bandage "I brought you a bandaid because you looked hurt, and I saw Dada carry you through the kitchen so it had to be bad, and bad boo-boos get band-aids"

Regulus lightly giggled at the sweetness and gratefully accepted the bandaid, "That's very kind of you, thank you, little star"

"You're welcome Papa, I love you!!" Harry said, as he scooted in with his dads, between James' legs as he played with Harry's still damp hair.

Lily looked over lovingly at the pile of human in the corner. She was perfectly content with this life. She silently closed the door as Harry sleepily lay against his Dada's chest.

Harry's bath would have to wait till tomorrow.

Regulus and Lily friendship headcanons!!

I think that they wouldn't really come across each other and become friends unless Regulus got closer to the Marauders (preferably in a jegulus or jegulily narrative)

That being said, I feel like they started spending time together sort of by accident or by extention of being with a mutual friend. Like Remus.

Since I see all three as studious and academics, it makes the most sense to me that their friendship started as studying meetings. Regulus first befriended Lupin and joined him in the library for quiet reading. Sometimes Lily sat with them as well.

Maybe one day Reg was reading a book for leisure that Evans had already read and she commented on it. They talked a little about the book over tea after he finished it and that's how they started talking to each other.

Enter James, who is an idiot and thus has a lot of stupid moments. And of course, Lily and Regulus being the witty and sometimes sarcastic little shits they are, have to comment and joke about the dumb shit he does. So their conversations branched from literature to Potter and eventually daily casualties.

Regulus never thought he'd like Lily. She seemed stuck-up in a way. Somewhat unapproachable. And of course, a muggleborn Gryffindor. But he realised she's very clever and sweet. One of the smartest people of her age. Just went to show how wrong blood supremacy was.

Evans never had an opinion in regards to the youngest Black. She gave everyone a chance (obviously, she used to be friends with Snape after all) and never had a negative encounter to base her opinions on. She was still surprised of just how well the two got along. Books and tea came a long way.

Thank you @thatonewerewolf for asking!!

Fic Snippet

Unpublished (for now). Lily & Reg fake date AU. Endgame Jegulus/Pandalily

Across the room from Lily, Regulus was struggling to get Harry into his puffer jacket.

“Harry, stay still,” he said, wrestling with the tiny arm that kept slipping out of the sleeve. “You’ll get cold.”

“But it’s hot, Reggie,” Harry whined in response. “I can’t breathe.”

“It’s cold outside, where you’re going,” Regulus told him patiently. “And if you get sick, I won’t have ice cream with you ever again.”

Lily watched as her son’s jaw dropped, green eyes going round with horror. “Ever again?” he repeated. “For my whole life?”

Regulus, the demon, just nodded. “Mhm.”

There was a heavy pause where Harry weighed his options—an extra layer of clothing versus the catastrophic loss of his favorite ice cream companion. With a tiny, resigned sigh, he relented, letting Regulus zip him up properly.

Lily crossed her arms, passing Regulus a look as she finished up and walked over to where the two of them were. “You’re a menace.”

He shrugged. “It worked.”

Harry, still sulking, turned to her for backup. “Mumm, do I really need this?”

Lily tugged lightly at the jacket’s collar to straighten it. “You do look a bit packed up,” she admitted, eyeing the number of layers Regulus had wrapped him into.

Harry groaned but his protest was cut short when Lily pulled him into a warm hug.

“You’ll be fine, sweetheart,” she murmured against the top of his head, rubbing his back soothingly. “Think of it this way—if you bring it and get too warm, you can always take it off, but if you don’t bring it, you’ll be stuck without it. Better to be prepared, right?”

Harry sighed dramatically. “I guess.”

Lily chuckled, pulling back just enough to press a quick kiss to his nose before ruffling his hair. “That’s my boy.”

Harry was already preparing another argument and Regulus clearly sensed that, too, because before Harry could get a single word out, Regulus distracted him by effortlessly scooping him up into his arms. A surprised giggle burst from Harry as he instinctively grabbed onto him.

“I look stupid,” the boy grumbled, though visibly less agitated.

Regulus settled onto the sofa, shifting Harry so he sat comfortably on his lap. “No, you don’t,” he said matter-of-factly. “Besides, you’ll be with Sirius. He always looks stupider.”

Lily sighed, though the corners of her lips twitched. “You do realize he’s going to hear about that, don’t you?”

Regulus smirked. “Oh, I’m counting on it.”

Before Lily had the chance to respond to that, the sound of rushed footsteps filled the room, growing louder with each passing second. Luna first gave Lily a quick hug even though they saw each other a few minutes ago—it was a rule of hers to always greet Lily like that, and the redhead had to admit that it warmed her heart every fucking time. Once that was done, Luna joined Harry and Regulus on the sofa. Pandora appeared next to Lily, standing close enough for their sides to be touching.

“Hi,” Pandora whispered to her, smiling. The things that that simple action did to Lily should be studied by healers and be documented in books for centuries to come.

“Hello,” Lily bit her lip, casting a careful look at the kids. Even though they started dating three months ago, Harry and Luna did not know about it. It just felt safer to not complicate things by bringing them into the relationship this early on.

“Harry!” Luna was poking her finger into his puffer-clad arm. “You look like a marshmallow.”

Harry gasped indignantly. “I do not!”

“You kind of do,” Pandora nodded in thought, “but that’s not a bad thing.”

Completely disregarding the second half of the sentence, Harry turned to Regulus, expecting him to disagree, but the man simply hummed in agreement. “A very warm marshmallow.”

Harry groaned, letting his head fall back against Regulus’ chest, thoroughly betrayed. “This is the worst day of my life.”

Luna giggled. “I like marshmallows,”

“Me too,” Lily chuckled. “Marshmallows are great, sweetheart.”

The library trio and their group chat part 5:

Regulus: What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received?

Remus: A self-help book from James titled “How to Relax.”

Lily: That’s bad. I once got flower-shaped bookmarks from Petunia.

Regulus: My mother just gave me a family tree tapestry so I could “know my place.”

Remus: …You win.
