SPOILER WARNING for Crimson Rivers!!

Regulus updating James on their relationship status and their life in general is one of the funniest and one of my favorite things ever

Like he seriously was just like "would you marry me" and because Jamie said yes of course, decided that they are engaged

I love him so much haahha and Siri being like "walk me through it" and then having to explain to Reggie that saying "would" instead of "will" changes everything and that they're not actually engaged... and Reggie sticking with it and being like "nah Jamie knows what I ment we are engaged"

Jamie just thanking Frank for the congratulations lolll - he was just so happy about being engaged he did not care at all that he found out at the same time as everyone else hahahah

And Reggie correcting everyone about calling Jamie his boyfriend instead of fiance

"fiance actually" when Rabastan uses the term boyfriend

"fiance!" As he slams the guys head against the table and Barty immediately "yeah be careful with that he is very sensitive about what term you use to refer to James"

And him updating him about their life still even after they're married 😭💜

He really just babysat a pair of twins for a few hours and the three of them decided that the twins need to stay with Reg and he just was like "okay Siri I need a favour also hi Jamie honey welcome home, how was your day? Yeah so meet our new kids because we are keeping these two" like I love this sm it's hilarious

Like obviously I'm paraphrasing all of this but yeah, I just need to gush about cr because I can't do that with anyone irl loll

Also its been months since I read it so I really miss it but I dont have time to reread all of it at the moment 😭

"The problem is, love doesn't solve everything. Love isn't going to fix what's wrong with the world. Love won't stop Regulus' nightmares, or heal James' pain. Love can't change their past, and it refuses to solidify their future. Love only makes this harder. It's something they'll have to choose to work on together" - bizarrestars on ao3, from crimson rivers

For anyone who also cannot stop thinking about dead gay wizards

Here’s some fun and fresh facts for you

ATYD: 526,969 words

Choices: 624,187 words

Crimson Rivers: 720,011 words

Crimson Rivers Glazing

Spoiler Alert!!!!!

I will never get over Crimson Rivers. Like, ever. I read that shit months ago and I'm still up at night thinking about my Shayla's. Grape jelly is ruined for me now. I hate bagels. I can't look at the stars anymore, I can't watch the Hunger Games anymore, I can't do shit.

It's so well written and I genuinely think that it could be an actual piece of published literature.

And y'know when you're reading fanfiction and you can tell that it's fanfiction, yeah, that doesn't happen with Crimson Rivers. Bizzarestars writes their characters with such a rawness, a realness that they feel like your own.

RAHHHH I CAN NEVER STOP GLAZING ZAR ILY SM PLEASE NEVER DIE!!!!

And the quality of writing is so amazing, like sometimes (I fear I am the sometimes) something is grammatically correct, and technically, there is nothing wrong with the work. But it's missing something, it's missing a feeling to it, something that connects it to the readers, whether it's a great quote, or funny dialogue, or even a plotline that just fits so well together. That something? Zar has it.

And the little quirks the characters have that tie them to cannon, like Regulus drowning in the blood river with the dead hands, Peter's betrayal, etc., there's more but I'm tired.

LIKE LOOK AT THESE QUOTES RAHRAHRAHRAHXTRCYKVUKY

“If I cannot climb, I will grow.” ― Bizzarestars, Crimson Rivers

“Death does not erase the point of life. A dead flower does not mean it never bloomed. It did, and it was beautiful.” ― Bizzarestars, Crimson Rivers

“I love you more than the tides love the moon. I'm as temperamental as the ocean, and just the same, I'm at your mercy. Give me a ship, and I will wreck it at your command.” ― Bizzarestars, Crimson Rivers

“No one ever thinks to look up.” ― Bizzarestars, Crimson Rivers

“I'm tired of breaking your heart, you've been so gentle with mine.” ― Bizzarestars, Crimson Rivers

“I'd die for them, but I'd live for you.” ― Bizzarestars, Crimson Rivers

“I don't want to be a great big tragedy anymore," ― Bizarrestars, Crimson Rivers

Ugh I love these stupid, dead, gay wizards so much.

So I'm watching the hunger games for the first time ever {don't judge} and the entire time I'm just going "uu that's different from crimson rivers" "uu Sirius said the same thing to Reggie" "bet she's gonna shoot close to someone's head just like Reggie"

Basically just analyzing what's similar and what isn't similar to crimson rivers lol

Crimson rivers is the reason I'm even watching this tbh

• the softest boy ever </3

• used to be so shy when you two started dating with his soft deep voice and he would always talk to you so gently

• but a menace once he gets comfortable around you (just a little bit tho)

• teases you and playfights most of the time, like its his favorite thing to do

• he says something something silly and you try to get annoyed but just end up laughing because of how adorable he is

• but can also be very mature and gentle and understanding when he needs to be

• you always look forward to homework dates with him because you get work done and also get to spend time with him

• and explains stuff gently and patiently whenever you're having a hard time trying to understand something without making you feel stupid

• loves going on late night walks with you around campus, especially when both of you have been busy with classes all day and haven't talked much, talking about nothing and everything with your fingers interlocked as his his thumb gently draws circles on the back of your hand

• sneaks into your dorm when he can't sleep and needs cuddles. and doesn't leave until he gets his cuddles and a few kisses

• has almost got caught alot of times but still sneaks in because "his girlfriend is more important than the stupid rules"

• sometimes just sneaks in to give you a goodnight hug and kiss

• on some nights, you both sneak out for ramen dates and have been up all night talking on the banks of han river at many instances

• not very big on pda but when its just the two of you he turns into a big clingy puppy

• turns crimson whenever you peck his cheek or lips in front of his friends knowing that they're going to make fun of him for being a lovesick idiot but he doesn't mind at all cause he loves and adores you sm <3

• makes sure that you eat well all the time especially during exam season cause he knows you tend to get stressed and skip meals

• will spoon feed you while making airplanes if you're feeling tired or sleepy

• the sweetest bf ever and you couldn't ask for anything better <33

Pearl wiped the sweat from her brow as she rammed her sword through the last skeleton.

The creature out a final hiss as the rigid end of her blade pierced through its ribcage, collapsing into a pile of bones before her feet, clattering as it hit the bone.

The sound of Joel’s shrill shriek came her right. Pearl turned her head just in time to see him diving behind a tree, narrowly avoiding the arrow that embedded itself in the bark beside his head. She couldn’t help the smirk on her face. This was her chance.

Quickly, Pearl crouched down and snatched an ivory remain, pivoting the other way. Clutching the cadaver in one hand and her sword in the other, she bolted.

The uneven terrain tugged at her boots, tripping over edges of blocks as she stumbled forward. Feather-tipped arrows whistled past her head, while the guttural snarl of spiders grew louder behind her. A surge burst of adrenaline coursed through Pearl’s veins, pushing her to go faster.

With the thumping of footsteps from behind, Pearl didn’t need to turn around to realize Joel was on her tail. 

Despite the feeling of her palms slipping from the sword’s hilt and her calves throbbing, Pearl’s smirk grew wider at the sight of twin pink buns that contrasted their dark surroundings. 

In a blink, Pearl made it to Lizzie, sword clanking onto the ground while she hunched over and rested her hands on her knees. Her chest rose and fell heavily as she huffed, body trembling. When Pearl lifted her chin, she was met with the sight of Lizzie, who wore an amused look while she cradled something in her hand.

“You did it!” she laughed, leaning against the crafting table. She looked down to her palm, using a finger to count each dark speck that rested on it before nodding. “The bonemeal should be enough.”

Lizzie took the bone from Pearl and set it on the crafting table. Her hands moved her chest, resting over her heart. A soft glow began to pulse beneath her fingers, growing brighter until a radiant, crimson heart was materialized, floating gently in the air.

Cupping it with care, Lizzie looked up at Pearl, the glow reflecting in her azure eyes. She stepped closer, extending her hands until the heart hovered just above Pearl’s chest. As it touched her, it dissolved into a warm, spreading light.

A surge of vitality rushed through Pearl, chest swelling with renewed strength. Lizzie’s delighted expression mirrored her own.

She laughed. “That was amazin’!”

Lizzie then got to work on the tilled soil by the riverbed. She crouched and carefully placed each seed in the individual holes she poked in the dirt. When she finished, she covered the them with the pile of dirt she kept to the side,  patting it to even it out.

Over her shoulder, Pearl caught sight of Joel in the distance. He grumbled as he stalked away, a bone of his own held in his hand. She would cackle at his sulking if she weren’t so out of breath.

As Lizzie scooped water from the river to moisten the soil, she glanced back at Pearl, her tone light and teasing. “I wasn’t sure you’d actually pull it off. I mean, it would result in taking more damage.”  

Pearl rolled her eyes, shaking her head with a grin. “I didn’t slay a skeleton just for your heart. A helpful it may be, I wouldn’t want to pass up a chance to help you out.” 

“…as well as the opportunity to see Joel upset?”

”Definitely the opportunity to see Joel upset.” She playfully elbowed Lizzie’s arm and smiled. “Jokes and Joel aside, we’re in this together, you hear?”

Lizzie’s expression softened, smiling as she poured water across her seeds. “Yeah. Together.”

With a smile like her’s, Pearl knew it was the truth.

Need fic recs guys...

Marauders fics, almost any ship (wolfstar, moonwater, sunflower, starchaser, rosekiller, Bartylus, dorlene, pandalily, Marylily... idc I'm a massive multishipper)

Only requirement is that it's long, ideally over 500k words otherwise its just light reading to my hyperlexic ass, because I eat words for breakfast; I read all of tcoptp in 4 days (including the B sides), I read ATYD in 2 days (could have been longer I read it the first time 5 years ago (ive also read Sirius' perspective)), I read crimson rivers while it was still being actively updated (one of my all time favs and super special to me), I read text talk by merlywhirls in a couple hours (definitely recommend this fic - it's kinda old but I love it sm), I've read literal hundreds of one shots (over 400 before I stopped bothering to count), I've read only the brave (took 2/3 days, but that was delicious), I've read just lovers, [like we're supposed to be] (took less than a day but it was so good)

I'm kinda scared of art heist, baby! Coz mcd... but if I get enough recs ill read it

I'm open to any and all recs (including shameless self plugs) as long as the plot is good and preferably with split paragraphs.

Crimson Rivers thoughts pt. 12

chapter 22:

1. 😟😟 all james wants is for sirius to be there for james the way james ALWAYS was for sirius

2. 😟 james wished hodge happy birthday even though hodge died yesterday. i- i am not okay

3. “Regulus never fails to look up. Evan would be proud of him for that, he thinks.” 😧 that was vile to put in there

4. james has resorted to BEGGING for medicine from sirius and can’t understand why sirius won’t send any. this hurts so bad

5. nope. i’m done. i can’t read any more. james started looking forward to death cause he would be out of this arena and out of pain. jfc i’m done

6. anyways. i’m back cause i couldn’t stop reading.

7. REGULUS AND JAMES ARE REUNITED!!! THANK GOD!!! 😊

8. 😧 wait nevermind. james just mistook regulus for sirius. “James has never, not once in his life under any circumstances, mistaken Regulus for Sirius”

9. james is delulu from medicine and reg just found out that the plan has always been to get reg home. this hits like a motherfucking truck

10. james is high as a fucking kite, can’t figure out why “sirius” is being mean to him, cause he’s never been mean to him. and is also wondering why “sirius” is oddly attractive for being mean

11. it takes james half a chapter, and reg cutting his shirt for james to realize it’s not sirius. cause sirius has different scars. i love james sm 😭😭

12. “What was Sirius thinking? Drugging James? In the middle of the fucking hunger games? That might be the most idiotic thing Regulus has ever known his brother to do, and this is Sirius he's talking about, so that's saying a lot. Sirius once flipped a cigarette in the air and tried to catch it with his mouth while it was lit, and kept doing it until he could actually consistently manage it, no matter how much it burned him. Though, in fairness, he can still do that trick to this day.”

LMAO WHAT??? that’s so random and i love it

13. 😧 legit sobbing. reg says that james lost the spark in his eyes. and he’s the one person he expected to never lose his spark

14. reg reveals that they both can go home. james’ spark is back. i’m sobbing harder now. they’re so in love

15. i eat, breathe, and dream those author end notes. bizzarestars writes their end notes the way my brain processes the fic. <33

chapter 23:

1. starting the chapter off with pain, i see. losing vanity changed james. like. horribly changed him.

2. “What Regulus hates more than James is his suffering.” jfc he’s so emotionally constipated

3. james is sad and all reg can think is hmmmm i want him to start flirting with me again, because it meant he was happy bitch wtf

4. awww they’re cuddling and just got a package! my babies are gonna make it out!

5. reg realizes he has to put on a show, so he offers to feed james. and wants to gouge his eyeballs out for offering that. 😭😭😭😭

6. i’m dying from embarrassment but this is also so fucking funny. reg is like. let’s talk about our feelings. for each other. and james is just like *head tilt* ???

7. “"You weren't my first crush, James," Regulus whispers. "You were my first love."”

james didn’t just make reg feel good, he made reg feel and i am NOT okay.

8. “This whole time, Regulus has been steady on the fact that he wouldn't kiss James to save his own life, but he's apparently willing to do it to save James'.”

JFC why is he so emotionally constipated???

9. THEY KISS????? james is gonna be heartbroken when he realizes it was all an act

10. oh thank god james realized. at least it broke his heart now and not in two weeks

11. *squints* now reg has never wanted anything more than this kiss. girl. please. realize.

12. god, i’ve never read a kiss more beautifully and emotionally desperate written.

13. 😏 reg called him baby again!

14. oh god, maybe i’m just as bad as everyone in the hallow. maybe i’m just as bad as them. cause i enjoy their romance. i enjoy it so much. maybe i’m just as bad as the hallow for that. i- i think this every time i read the hunger games.

15. “James wants to sink his teeth into Regulus and leave the deep imprints of his teeth from one jutting hip bone to the other.” sometimes i forget that jegulus is a little unhinged in ways like this. and every time i’m reminded, I LOVE IT

16. “"You treat me like I'm stupid for daring to see good in people, but if there's no good in anyone, then what's the fucking point?"”

this entire section. this. this is what james is all about

17. 😟 authors note just told me i’m no better than a hallow. for my excitement over jegulus. and- yeah. i guess so. i’m so sorry y’all
