#regulus dies

[kingstarkingslay]

Alternate AU where after the war and the death of his brother, Sirius builds a cabin in the woods by the creek for him and Moony to live in ( the woods help Moony’s transformations ), a quiet refuge where the waters whispered secrets of the past and he gets a small wooden boat to paddle along the tranquil waters.

He names the boat Regulus.

[pixiedustriri]

What if regulus actually really liked water, hear me out.

He grew up in a cold house only to move into a cold and damp dorm when he got to Hogwarts. And when he was cold it was that chilling bone deep cold that felt like it would never really leave.

He would have LOVED a hot bath or shower, the ones that are so hot they make you feel alive, like the heat is seeping back into your bones. The ones that make your skin all red, and you have to lie down after to avoid passing out.

He was also always dressed impeccably, full suit or uniform, not a thing out of place. I imagine that would get quite hot in the warmer months, the heat would probably make him sluggish and force his guard down.

I imagine he would of quite enjoyed a cold shower or even a dip in the lake. Anything to make him feel like he could think again. Also the cold would numb pain, and oh how I think he would relish in even a moment of respite.

That’s why it would have been the ultimate betrayal, the most ironic plot twist for him to drown.

Prompt 1 - Alive

@jegulus-microfic October 1, Word count 322

The smell of the breakfast cooking was making his stomach rumble. James dragged himself out of bed and to the kitchen, where his mother was busy frying bacon and scrambled eggs. 

“Morning, love,” Effie greeted him when he flopped gracelessly into one of the kitchen chairs. 

“Morning,” He yawned widely, pulling the boring paper towards him. He pushed his glasses up and rubbed his tired eyes before glancing at the front page. The world stopped. 

‘Black Heir Dead at Eighteen’

‘Regulus Arcturus Black, son of Lord Orion Black and Lady Walburga Black, has died. Understandably, the noble family have asked for privacy at this unfortunate time. The Black heir had a promising political career ahead of him. He is a true loss to the future of the Ministry and the country.’    

Tears dripped from James’s eyes as he stared at the moving photograph of Regulus posing for a picture with his parents. 

“James? James, love, what’s wrong?” Effie asked, leaning over James’s shoulder to read the headline. “Oh, no, oh, Sirius is going to be devastated.” She sighed sadly, squeezing his shoulder. He raised his hand and covered her hand with his. She had no idea why he was so upset. He’d never told her, it had been too dangerous for Regulus. He could tell her now, tell her everything about them. How alive Regulus made him feel just by looking at him, but he wanted to keep that part of Regulus to himself. He looked at the ceiling and blinked the tears away. He let go of her hand and pushed his chair back. 

“I’m going to Sirius and Remus’s. Padfoot will need me,” He said, his voice croaky, and he fled the kitchen, rushing to the living room fireplace and throwing floo powder in the grate before calling out his best friend's address and stepping into the green flames. His heart shattering as he spun away from his family home.

Little Epiphanies - Part 15

Previous Part - Next Part - The Catalogue

James saw the second flash of green from where he lay, petrified on the grass, tears rolling down his cheeks.  If it had just been one flash then he could have had hope.  Hope that it had been Regulus who cast the Killing Curse and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named who collapsed with a crash as the green light glowed through the shut curtains of the nursery.  But with the second flash he knew that Regulus was dead, and so was Harry.  Little Harry.  Light of his life.  It was all over.  You-Know-Who got what he wanted, the prophesied child was dead, and he would have his way with James and Lily and Remus and Sirius and that would be the end of it.  And so James cried silently on the lawn, awaiting his death.

But then he heard a howl, the ear piercing scream of a pained man.  Then a crash.  Then the cracks of apparition around him.

The other members of the Order had arrived — all was not lost.  It was Dumbledore who unparalyzed him, helping him up while blocking the incoming spells from the Death Eaters surrounding them.  But James didn’t spare Dumbledore another glance.  Instead he ran, as fast as his legs could take him, through the open backdoor, up the stairs, towards the nursery.

Hope.

Hope.

Hope.

He cashed through the doorway just as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named turned from a body on the floor to a cloud of smoke — the shape of a screaming face — which crashed through the window and flew into the darkness of the night with a deafening shriek.  

And there in the middle of the crib was Harry.  Little Harry.  His son.  Looking up at him with a curious look on his face, as if asking: ‘Where have you been all this time, Papa?’

James let out a happy laugh, tears rolling down his face, and picked up his son, unharmed save for a curious lightning bolt scar on his forehead.  He buried his face in his son’s messy mop of black hair, kissing him and hugging him and laughing in relief.  Because Harry was alive.

And then he saw Regulus, his skin impossibly paler, grey eyes eerily vacant.  But he was smiling, something James had never seen before, even in the years of their childhood as he watched Regulus from the other side of the Great Hall.  Regulus had died happy, and it was in that moment that James new that what Regulus did, whatever it was the he did, had saved Harry.  

Regulus had saved Harry.

“Thank you,” he whispered, his voice faint, as he smiled through tears, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

My favorite Black brother's headcannon is that Sirius and Regulus eye's look almost identical so after Regulus dies Remus has to do Sirius' makeup because he starts sobbing if he looks at his eyes to long because they're his baby brother's eyes.

See how happy I can get?

what is rebellion if not taking the knife from your oppressor - but you call them parents, call them family, call them mother, father, call them yes ma'am, yes sir - and carving out your own entrails before they get the chance? what is it if not break up with them before they break up with you. what is it if not being able to. what is it if not a leather jacket and a nose ring and a brother who is too soft not to believe them. what is it if not trying to make him believe anything else anyway. what is it if not failing (you always knew you would). what is it if not having a brother that doesn't talk to you anymore because I just don't understand why you have to make everything so difficult. what is it if not long hair that your brother who doesn't talk to you anymore stares at in disgust. what is it if not trying to convince yourself it isn't a stare, then that it isn't disgust, then that it isn't him, then, finally, that all of that is wrong and it is him and it is a stare and it is disgust but it isn't you. what is it if not convincing yourself that it not being you is important. what is it if not a brother that doesn't talk to you for so long the anymore fades away. what is it if not a brother who doesn't talk to you because maybe they're right! have you ever thought of that? what is it if not staring at your brother who doesn't talk to you as he stares at you as his friends stare at muggleborn children with blood hunger in their eyes like sharks. what is it if not barty crouch jr. being an evil man because his father isn't. what is it if not your brother who doesn't talk to you becoming an evil man because you aren't. what is it if not a brother who doesn't talk to you because your a filthy blood traitor. what is it if not a brother that doesn't talk. what is it if not not having a brother that doesn't talk. what is it if not not having a brother?

What if even that Regulus didn’t knew how to swim, he still loved the Ocean the peace it brought him?

His curled hair swinging around with the wind, him sitting down on the sand, his eyes closed.

It was his way of escaping his family problems.

And also that led to the fact that Regulus wasn’t scared when he died, he felt at peace but also he couldn’t stop feeling if Sirius would have been proud of him?

Summary:

It shines as bright as the sun. Breaking through the darkness. He reaches towards it even as he takes his final breath.   For The Writing Heirs of Slytherin Spicetober challenge on Discord. Nineteenth prompt: Shine

Notes:

Mind the tags. Enjoy. :3

.

It shines as bright as the sun.

Regulus reached out, trying to grab it, arms and legs flailing about like a child who didn’t know how to swim. The bright light called to him. He could feel its warmth. But something was holding him back.

Rotted. Stench. He couldn’t stand it. It filled his nose and mouth and he choked. Pulled under. Far under.

And there in the depths he scratched at it. The light. The shine that even this water could not dull. Nails scraped at skin as the breath left him. He gasped. Water filled his lungs. Darkness swarmed him from all sides.

But the shine remained. Fuelling his desperation. He struggled once more. Holding the life in his lungs. Pain and pressure pushed on him as he scratched. Clawed until it broke. The skin was fragile and gave way easily. In a rush of adrenaline he scrambled to remove the rest of it. He could still feel the pain but it wasn’t so bad.

Blood mixed in the water, enraging his captors. Screams. They filled his head and he could no longer hold on. He let go. And the shine went away.

Now he waited. Hungry. There in the depths. The darkness.

For the next shiny object to come along. To grab. To feed.

He dies, that's what happens

But what happens when the sun slips away and he’s stuck in the shadows once again?

i find barty and regulus’s friendship so funny. we have the permanently offended, supremely uptight, haughty, easily scandalised, victorian woman-esque, judgemental heir to the richest and most prominent wizarding family on one side, and then we have the sleaziest, most lewd and reprehensible ‘human being’ on the other. everytime barty forms a full sentence a year is taken off regulus’s lifespan. and yet barty is still significantly more intelligent than his best friend, and everytime regulus is reminded of this (every day) his eye twitches and he visualises how lovely barty would look without a head.

[justafandomgirly]

Regulus: I feel like saying I’ll kill myself gets way more of a reaction than saying I’ll drown myself even though the two end basically in the same way

James: You need therapy

Regulus: I need a large body of water

James: Reggie NO

[oregano-stars]

Think of Regulus - the boy who fell in love with James Potter the first second he saw him, but, having grown up in a world of strategical social games and cold hearted politicians, he didn't know what to do. So he spent the rest of his life either flat out ignoring James, or bullying him, because he learned from his family that in order to impress someone you have to be superior. And he watched as James ended up on the other side of a battlefield from him - he watched as James lived a life without him. And then Regulus died - and James never knew. Now, think of Regulus, in the afterlife, watching as Draco falls in love with Harry and doesn't know what to do about it for the exact same reason. He watches as Draco bullies Harry because he doesn't know what else to do. And he's just up there screaming "NO NO DONT DO THAT DRACO I PROMISE YOU IT DOESNT WORK"

[kane5-5]

Sirius looking like a grim is actually so funny cause like… everyone around him died

[gabihime-jegulusseeker]

marauders era, incorrect quote

James: did you have to stab him?

Regulus: you weren’t there. You didn’t hear what he said to me.

James: what did he say?

Regulus: what are you going to do? Stab me?

James:

Sirius, nodding: that’s fair
