#ok tags get darker tw death ig?

[whump-queen]

I love the concept of a ‘practice doll’ like ~ whumper isnt worried about hurting them..

they’re only kept around to practice with until we’re ready for the main event.

The only problem is, once the ‘main event’ arrives— duct taped, zip tied and terrified—

the practice doll is still alive.

ok so there's been some interest in hearing regulus and james' sad story so here it is (it's very painful) TWs for death, zombies, suicidal thoughts, severe depression, suicide attempt, sacrifice, grief with very little acceptance

james and regulus are married and live together. the apocalypse has just broken out and james doesn't really know much about it and regulus does. he should've warned him better. james, the nice, trusting person that he is, doesn't look through the peep hole before opening the door. regulus is in the shower. james opens the door. he's immediately turned into a zombie.

regulus is just coming down after his shower to ask james out on a date when he sees a zombie of his husband in his living room. he tries to deny it at first, overcome with grief and guilt but the being in front of him is not his husband. he looks like him, and he looks like he feels the same emotions james is, looking sad, confused, and hurt, but when regulus comes too close, when he tries to comfort the creature, it tries to transform him. so regulus is forced to kill his own husband.

overwhelmed with the same grief and guilt along with a crippling sense of heartbreak and a wish to no longer be alive if he has to do it without james, regulus goes on a murderous rampage of the zombies, not stopping to eat or drink or sleep unless absolutely necessary. he's vicious and cruel and won't listen to reason. until, after days turn into weeks of fighting, he collapses and cries.

he can't take the pain anymore, and the anger and fighting are only a thin shield for the complete and utter devastation he feels. so he breaks. he cries and he breaks down and he lets the realization that james is gone and he killed him wash over him. he doesn't watch his back. a pack of zombies almost overtake him before pandora sacrifices herself to get him to safety.

now with (how he feels is) the blood of the two people he loved the most on his hands, regulus fights until every last zombie is gone. the zombies. are gone. left in their wake are a destroyed world, and an even more destroyed regulus black. his brother, along with remus, lily, peter, and marlene are still alive. but regulus can't find it within himself to feel grateful. james is gone. pandora is gone. he killed them.

regulus is a shell of a human being. he can't feel anymore, he can't think anymore. the only thing he wants is to get back to james and pandora. he's entranced as he walks to the lake and prepares to drown, to go see them again, but before he can jump, sirius comes running after him and saves him. regulus doesn't feel saved. but he allows himself to collapse into his brother and cry. and cry. and cry. and feel himself go numb and his throat go raw.

but if there's anything left to live for. it's this. the feeling of being held by his brother. not that the comfort lasts very long. how can anything ever be okay ever again?

sirius convinces him to go to therapy. he doesn't attempt again. but that doesn't mean he feels anything more than the hollow shell he's become. but he's alive. and that's something. maybe that something will become more. with time.

so um. this got? even darker than it was meant to be at first???

sorry? or i hope you enjoyed? depending on your perspective ig. but i'm also high key proud of this so.

lily (same as remus, she's too good. nothing can kill her)

regulus (kind of went haywire after james died) (i actually hate myself i came up with such a sad fucking story for this lmk if you wanna hear it 😭)

marlene (she's a bad bitch, you can't kill her)

unalivers (i hate this i just wanted it to rhyme)

james (opened the door for the wrong person) (more on that in the scenario mentioned above)

mary (first to die, nobody saw it coming)

dorcas (fought to the death, literally)
