Ok here me out -

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo AU.

I know what you think - Lily as Evelyn, James as her last husband and bsf (Harry?) which makes the perfect Jegulus/Jily/Pandalily (or Marylily).

But NO.

I think of Lily as Evelyn, Remus as Harry.

Sirius as his secret boyfriend who dates with Mary, who is secretary dating Lily.

I didn't though of all of it but I think it's perfect.

Although I don't really like Marylily, I prefer Jily but then it ruins the queerness of the story.

And there's the hero right? The one interviewing Evelyn and her dad had dated Harry? So there's that to work with too.

Idk pls develop this and lmk when it exists.

The World We Left Behind - A Marauders Zombie Apocolypse Fic

The zombie apocolypse has come and gone. The world is trying to stabilise itself. Regulus and Sirius Black are among the first generation of children to be born and raised during the zombie apocolypse. They grow up inside the walls of a tightly run settlement. When Andromeda dies, leaving Sirius alone after seperating from his family. Zombies overthrow their small faction, dispersing everyone and sending Regulus and Sirius on a path they never thought they'd be able to walk together.

Hi omg hi hi! I finally did it!!! I've got the first chapter up for the story and Im lowkey losing my mind because its taken me so long and I am so not normal about this so hoping that everyone likes it- writing really isnt my specialty, I focus more on drawing so it definetly was...interesting! getting to work on something I'm not used to. umm im not too sure what people put in these posts but yeah wahoo!!

[er9tic]

as we turn — chapter eleven

“Sirius needs to stay away. Far far away from Remus and

his corruption. Before he trusts the wrong person

too.”

some visuals for the new chapter posted . i’m not exactly the most confident over my writing but we try and we learn no ? hope people enjoy . might make this a habit to post chapter visuals .

[everythingsbetterunderthestars]

I am finally posting my wolfstar and jegulus x The Holiday Christmas fic!! It’s all written out already, I’ll be updating it every day until Christmas (like an advent calendar)

Here’s the summary:

When Regulus breaks up with the boyfriend he was planning on spending his Christmas holiday with, he decides it’s time for him to get out of his Parisian flat. He finds the perfect place to run away to, a beautiful English cottage, and agrees to a home exchange with the owner, Remus, who jumps on the occasion to get as far as possible from the man he’s trying to get over. Both of them are part of the cursed of the loved ones: the unloved ones. So are Sirius, never quite clicking with anyone, and James, who’s lost all will to search for love. But perhaps they all just need to be in the right place at the right time to meet the right person…

Or, The Holiday x Jegulus and Wolfstar

[marauders-brain-rot]

An excerpt from the fic I’m writing on ao3, this part has been posted but I thought the tumblr fandom might appreciate it. This is from Christmas 1975:

It was nearing midnight and James was debating how far he would get if he attempted to break into Grimmauld when suddenly the floo roared to life. James leapt to his feet instantly, not many people would come through the floo this late without sending word first and the green flames sent his heart to his stomach. Before he had a chance to do more than grab his wand, two figures came tumbling onto the stone floor.

“It’s okay now, we’re here, we’re here,” the boy on top was sobbing over the other one as he ran his hands worriedly over him, it wasn’t until he lifted his face and turned towards James that he saw who it was.

“Regulus?” He looked from one boy’s face to the other and fell to his knees. “What happened to him?”

“It’s the cruciatus, they wanted him to take the mark and he refused. Your mum, she’s a healer right? She can help him, can’t she?” Regulus had tears streaming down his face and his eyes were the deepest, blue-grey he had ever seen; he'd never seen someone look so broken.

“Yeah, she can help him. Are you okay?” James’s eyes ran over the younger boy and breathed a small sigh of relief that there weren’t any obvious tremors.

“I’m fine, but if I don’t get back soon I won’t be. Promise me she can help him?” Regulus reached out and desperately clung to James’s hand.

“Get back? What do you mean get back? How can you go back there after this?” James looked from Regulus to Sirius and back again as if to say that his point needed no explanation and Regulus was in fact the mad one.

“Someone has to play the part,” Regulus gave a small, almost bitter smile before blinking and wiping all emotion from his face, his eyes shifting to an empty grey. “Take care of him Potter, he deserves at least one brother that’s worth something. I’ll send Kreacher with his things as soon as I can.”

“Reg wait-” James was going to try and talk some sense into him but he didn’t get the chance before Regulus jumped up and threw himself back into the floo, calling out for Grimmauld and disappearing in a swirl of green flames.

A while ago I saw a black brothers edit to the alcott on tt that changed my life but whoever made it removed it (or blocked me but i don't think that's likely or well I hope tf not) and I'm genuinely upset about it

Like I used to watch it everyday or smt it was so influential to me it started like this:

"Sirius: I'm everything you were too afraid to be!

Regulus: You want to fight? Alright then. (Shows the dark mark)

Sirius: (in tears) I'm sorry. "

And you know then the song starts

And the fancasts were Ben Barnes and Timothee Chalamet (did I spell his name right? Whatever actually I don't care)

And I think the top comment on there was "Sirius: I'm everything you were to afraid to be.

Regulus: and I'm everything you couldn't be. "

Which I later then used on one of my bookmarks on ao3 I thought it summarized the fic quite well

Anyway you might be wondering why I wrote all of this but it is just I myself don't want to forget such a beautiful piece of art so I'm writing everything I can about it

[rmoony12]

I'm genuinely curious why as a fandom we decided that Mary is black.

Her surname is McDonald, how tf can I work with a black character named MCDONALD???

Now I have to make her mixed and not fully Ethiopian, and all of this is because of whoever though it's a smart move.

[m0st-ard3ntly]

whatever you do, do not imagine wolfstar finding themselves under mistletoe and getting the goddamn push they needed to kiss already

[hyperfocuscentre]

does anyone have any prank fics from remus’ perspective? i love a good sirius focused prank fic but sometimes they overly villainise remus and it gets a tad frustrating.

[esorxy]

remembering all the insanely long marauders fics ive brainrotted over because i kinda forgot all of them. roughly in the order i read them.

Whatever happened to the young, young lovers?

355k, jegulus wolfstar rosekiller. post war (ended by regulus) where they just hang around grimmauld place all day. i literally cant remember anything that happened. but i liked how they stayed home and didnt go outside, because i relate to that. it was alternating chapters between post war and pre war, honestly i dont even know it was just so much relationship angst and regulus being incredibly competent and hurt.

All The Young Dudes

526k, the character development and buildup, its like the level of the actual series without the annual voldemort attack. i was DESTROYED by the ending, it lived in my brain rent free for like a week. why did it have to be canon compliant???! the way they spent so much time pining, so much time apart, and so little time together. but that theyre literal soulmates, which is so sad for grant (he suffered true emotional damage) lmfao. I guess this is the basis (canon??) of marauders era

we can be heroes, for ever and ever

102k alternate happy ending to atyd - yes PLEASE this is what i needed to heal the pain after reading atyd.

choices

624k. lowkey feel the same way towards this as atyd, except it didnt live in my brain rent free for a week. in that i respect that it's good and got heartbroken when everyone died and they didn't get their happy ending, but it did get me into jegulus so I'm not complaining. IDK it's just sad, but i love regulus and evan and cerci. even though i deadass can't remember anything else.

crimson rivers

865k actually SOBBING this fic is everything. so much plot and so much hurt, it is amazing and painful and intense. it has the most picturesque scenes, beautiful happy ending. but i did kinda get sick of it near the end cos its so fuckin long, and i was not into the girls in the fic so i was kinda cbs

holding onto the self

76k and it was so good i felt so sad for sirius. this is the type of fic which makes me jaw drop and suck in breath like poor baby honestly. no summary needed cos ill never forget what its about lmfao....

just lovers

321k fake dating au. this is GREAT. its so light hearted which is a great change from the akckdjebakzj. this is the climb to the top for regulus being my favourite character. lowkey can't remember shit but i liked it and i need more fics like it because it was creative and there's not much room for that in marauders verse

only the brave

645k and The fic of my dreams. this is everything and i loved every second of it. every character is so great, and it got me into pandalily!!! perfect amount of hurt (a lot), and such good plot. it has every ship i like, i was like drowning in a hot spring of happiness while reading this

ecliptic

147k, oh it's so creative and new. it was so suspenseful cos we got 0 answers, and the fic is deadass incomplete wtf!! i love how everyone is sad but mostly rational. the jegulus was really really nice, and i liked how the cruciatus was made out to be a big deal so the hurt/comfort is better. i feel like the plot is better than the delivery

wolfstar my one true pair, jegulus my second true pair, evan®ulus has a special place in my heart, marauders fanfiction a permanent space in my mind for at least the next few weeks

new edit: shit! i forgot to update and i read so many more long fics and can barely remember them now

mastermind

311k i cant even remember anything that happened ... except i liked the dynamic between narcissa and regulus, and narcissa is so damn pretty. this was the one where regulus made james and sirius go with him to the cave, and then james had to force him to drink the potion, so much angst arghhhh.

all along there was some invisible string (tying you to me)

103k spiderman AU + high school and all i can say that its an original setting... the pining was great, and the spiderman kiss!! but other than that like it was good, i guess

I adored you madly, extravagantly, absurdly

243k Victorian AU with arranged marriage trans regulus. I loved regulus' character, he was so spiteful and petty but also down bad, and jegulus matched so perfectly together. i want his life so bad because his literal job was being married, like deadass he didnt do shit all day except read, play with his cats and pine for his husband...

a violent kind of spin

212k not going to lie, my favourite/most striking parts of this fic were the $h scenes... and i just finished it last night so I dont even have an excuse. james asking sirius to turn around and not even waiting for him to do it??? oml hes unhinged and it was so well written. the bathtub scene when he was on a timer and then just walked out like everything was fine!!! help it was so angsty im in love. i feel like i speedran this fic and didnt read it properly, which is probably accurate

Im not gonna teach him how to dance with you

122k. rosekiller is the BEST. i love the whole plot tbh and it was so well paced. love that for evan because nobody else is gonna keep by with barty's crazy. i would have liked it more if it had crack undertones but yknow whatever, cant have everything. i thoroughly enjoyed all the romantic tension in the leadup, the way they were both so in love im gone.

All the young dudes - Sirius' Perspective

628k, let me tell you, canon has no right being that sad, and the beloved author just fed off that like a parasite. i should have expected how this fanfic would destroy me, but the delivery made it so much more painful. i sobbed reading the Halloween and Azkaban chapters. and sirius,,, like why did you have to be so angry all the time. and so obsessed with remus from day 1. it was great. although like halfway through i just felt like ... wolfstar is so basic. jegulus once jegulus forever i guess.

whatever our souls are made of

157k hanahaki where we really gotta work for the happy ending. OML it was so beautifully sad. reggie 💔💔. sirius said nobody on the earth deserves his baby brother, but if he had to pick someone, it would be James 😭😭 I'm a broken man

oml i havent updated in 2 months... its ok i didnt read that much cos i was too tired with uni and work. anyway i found all my fics through tiktok, tumblr, or thru the author cos this gold mine is too big sorry chief. which is like. someone recommended this following fic :skull:

I'm not okay (I solemnly swear)

107k and unfinished :000 cant believe it i read something unfinished but when i read the tags i was like ok yeah im in. my secret is that i read fics like these!!! and most of them are not well written but this one is. and so was that other one about sirius but it was only like 78k so i didnt write it up. anyway poor reggie is going through it, and idk if its ever getting finished cos the poor author might be going through it too. additional note: idk if this is the one but bestie has so many problems like get help fr.

the veil of secrecy

100k but its unfinished and let me tell nobody i was devastated. omg it was so sad so the summary is after reggie defected voldymouldy found out and like --- got all his remaining horcruxes and stuffed them inside his chest and abdominal cavity in some crazy ass surgery. and then he sewed his mouth shut and broke his fingers and kept him around him like some porcelain doll/pet and thats the punishment????? oml how do u think of that... anyway so he dissociates into his fabric walls of occlumency so voldy doesnt know where the locket is. ok whatever they escape and he falls in love with jamie idk. its unfinished.

to the boy who...

238k its similar to the previous one (written by the same author ibbsterkisster) and i found it to read to cope with the first one not being finished. yes this is like 3x as long sighs we all know how it is. anyway its similar except reggie is like his boy toy instead... which is even worse. anyway i cant remember anything about the jegulus but i DO remember that evan was so sweet (as he is) he like stroked the bruise on reggies wrist very gently :facepalm: and that scene lives rent free in my brain.

blood on my shirt, heart in my hand

22k and id just like to say, this is the kind of horror that i like. its kinda a mystery at first but its not so creepy, and the jegulus endgame is stronger than a bulletproof vest. so james is having dreams which are vaguely murderous, and when he wakes up the events like kinda match up. turns out hes like having some repetitive dissociative episode every night at 12.37am and getting up to murder people. and after the first time reggie was just like 'well if ur in then im in too' and straight up helps him murder people ?!? i loved it. murder husbands.

the long game

250k and this is the most unique fic youll get here. modern high school au where reggie is like this god genius talented painter and they work on a musical set together, and reggie gets an art show and idk why this stood out to me but he drew like a green soft and a purple cushion and was like... this represents me and evan, cos were ok separately but great together. i read this so long ago i cant even remember what i thought of it

jealousy, jealousy

85k + unfinished again!! anyway so bartylus fake date so james and evan can get jealous and then they both end up together. i just remember it was so cute because they would just hug each other like constantly all the time, and cry at the smallest inconvenience, then their friend/boyfriend would go and lie with them in bed and hug them and that was like a very significant portion of it. and im not even complaining this is the type of physical affection they deserve

pathological people pleaser

114k but it passed so fast?!?! james is so fuckin unstable man like get a therapist. ok i actually enjoyed this so much because for some reason i was really into horror (it was literally 2 days ago) and this wasnt horror but they did not reveal like why james was so fucked, and which parts of his narration were unreliable until quite a bit in. also there was more than a month gap between me bookmarking this one and the last one and like i dont even know what i did with myself??? (actually i lied i read more fanfiction i just forgot i did cos i forgot to bookmark it) (summary: summer holiday where starchaser fall in love also effie died in a car crash on the way to james after he called and was like mom im gonna kms. ok but it was really well written and full of suspense)

anti-hero

237k and i just finished it so its fresh in my mind (for once) ok now that i think about it i have no idea why regulus lived that first time... maybe i didnt read closely enough but like when fics are that long i kinda just miss some stuff or forget it and they all blur together anyway. ok so firstly i want a story of james and regulus in this universe when they were still at hogwarts because like having a secret relationship for 2 years and also doing drugs.. just the hurt comfort ahhh maybe without all the hurt and yelling but whatever. cant have it all. anyway this was so well written i always like narcissa tbh. glad james and regulus sorted out their shit eventually even though it took so. fucking. long. anyway yikes (summary: reggie lives after the cave and they go horcrux hunting and kill voldy but then reggie fucks off to america and becomes a drug addict again but comes back, and james has anger issues but only when it comes to regulus anyway they kept hurting each other that i didnt even feel sad anymore when it happened) addition: oml reggie being an addict + nic in beautiful boy the stars aligned finally i get some visual scenes in this fandom

doing a word count sum of the above and its: 6 million and 476 thousand...

meetings that start in the dark

656k and oml i was SEMI HOOKED. honestly like why did it take them so fucking long to get back together like the moment Voldemort dropped dead James should have been unable to stay away from regulus. anyway love how they're obsessed with each other, love how Luna and Harry are playing matchmaker. and i especially love how Sirius was the lame embarrassing parent ahah. also the amount of bs evan has to put up with from reg and barty... jesus christ i loved them in this except for how he was buff girl no evan is a twink and this fic wont change my mind

sometimes, running away does solve all your problems

15k so reggie literally walks out of his house and his parents dont even notice and he runs away and meets james and they live together it was perfect omfg i loved it so so so much. it had the same sad, resigned tone as the dsmp fics that i was obsessed with before and would reread over and over. and the small village quiet life is a dream

27 club

27k and why was it so heavy oml like i didn't sign up for this sadness. ok so reggie is DEAD but before that he and James were like lovers and drug buddies but also lacked healthy communication. james is like bye imma get clean without u, the literal love of my life. the whole thing was so sad because it would be like one bit of 'oh and they were in love and making music' and then another bit of 'james was mourning so hard he couldnt get out of bed'. it was lowkey magical to read except for how hes dead.

you missed my heart

100k and omfg im in shock tbh. like what the actual fuck. I'm in shock in an "im unsettled and creeped out" way. i don't even know why because ive read serial killer jegulus fics before and it was all peachy, but maybe this one was so creepy because we were in the dark, and the killing isn't unrealistic and romanticised. James was so smitten with regulus too I'm crying i was actually convinced that reggie wasn't the killer. i need soft regulus fluff to cope with this. to erase the image of reggie being a psychopath. omg Sirius after finding out the truth.. poor boy was like catatonic. I'm never reading unhappy ending fics again I've become weak my heart can't take it

I'm going to start including the shorter fanfics that i read and are memorable as well because i don't discriminate

which means i have a lot of catching up to do

the moment and the sound

29k so james runs away with harry to escape voldemort and meets reggie by chance. they live together and james is like straight up depressed. i liked this fic but also forgot what it was like.

raise hell

30k it's basically about them being angels and demons and working together to idk stop the world from ending. i liked the tone of the fic in that everyone was like set in their ways and was like wtf at everyone else but also i wish it was longer and there was more about each person's like representation like Sirius being the angel of justice. also it was so funny regulus the angel of diligence and James the demon of lust.

blackpool

63k and omg it was so well written but i was so confused the whole time cos i have no literary ability. like regulus being a straight up unreliable narrator?!?! deadass in shock half the time reading this tbh

calm before the storm

51k and i could draw a graph of the shock factor of this fic and it would look like a staircase with 3 steps. at the start it was so happy and cute and i was like omg why did i click on this again and then sirius dies and james loses his memory and reggie is like fucked up that's the first step up and then they heal whatever but then reggie straight up starts murdering people and making a show out of it i read it all like 😳😳. unhinged fr, and also everyone tried to kts at least once like besties go see a therapist please

pink lemonade

121k band tour au where they sing (i think mostly) arctic monkeys songs and kudos because the lyrics all fit so well to whatever clown ass miscommunication situation jegulus have going on. it was relationship angst and maybe i would have enjoyed it more if i read it earlier but rn i need action and thrill. i was like to my irl friend like miscommunication angst isn't enough for me anymore i need murder and she was like girl wtf.

youngblood

75k basically jegulus were roommates in juvenile detection and they had such a deep soul connection in the 2 months and then never reconnected until like 9 years later. ok anyway my favourite part was James and how he was so unhinged. like literally provoking bullies so they hurt him is his form of sh... girl get a grip honestly but also respect for the idgaf factor

mercy

36k so james gets possessed by a ??demon called mercy and reg is an exorcist... so its very obvious what drew me into this. anyway james lives at regs house while hes figuring out what the fuck is wrong with him and they just ??? fall in love. ok slow burn was not really burning at all more like a ticking bomb but the horror was cute. also i found it at night and then read it all at like 8-9am in the morning before getting out of bed so i cant remember it but it was well written and the demon was lowkey cute too he was just out for drama which i can relate

[the-house-of-jegulus]

Please help me

Also feel free to comment fic recommendations <3 i am partial to jegulus and wolfstar (especially them raising harry)

[labyrinthhofmymind]

“the marauders aren’t real”, “jegulus doesn’t make sense”, “wolfstar aren’t actually cannon”, “writing fanfic isn’t a real passion/hobby”

WELL YA KNOW WHAT

NOTHING IS REAL WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE EVERYTHING IN SOCIETY IS MADE UP SO DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT

At school in Englisch Class

Me: receiving a notification on my phone

Me: realizing what it is, grinning like an idiot and giggling excitedly

My friend, teasingly: Aha, woh texted you? Is there something going on with anyone???

Me, laughing: Oh no way better. A new chapter of one of my favorite fanfics, i waited over a month desperately for, just came out.

My friend: …..
