"James!" Regulus yelled, slamming the door behind himself as he entered their shared apartment, abandoning his bag on a chair to search for his boyfriend. "What did you do?"

He found him sitting on the couch, giving Regulus a look that was the picture of innocence. Big eyes, wide smile, like a fucking halo could appear over his head. But Regulus knew better.

"What do you mean, baby?" James asked, voice sweet.

"You know what I mean!" he said, hands on his hips. "Why did Moriarty spend the entire day sending me death glares?"

James shrugged, but a grin was forming slowly on his face. "Well, I did hear that he got a casual reminder in the mail about what happens when he acts like a transphobic asshole."

"A- what?" Regulus asked, dumbfounded. "What did you send him? A threat? A finger?"

"No! Not at all! I sent him a glitter bomb!" James replied, grinning from ear to ear. "Unwrap it and glitter goes everywhere. It's a bitch to clean up. I should know, Sirius sent me one for my 18th birthday, I-"

"You sent my coworker a glitter bomb for telling me I should use the girl's bathroom?" Regulus repeated, voice completely void of emotion.

James's grin faltered a bit. "I-yes? Are you mad?"

"No," Regulus breathed, breaking into a smile. "That's brilliant. How do you send one, I want to give one to Mother."

Saltwater and Chlorine (fic idea)

Jegulus Fic idea because my power's out and I need to get out of a writing slump.

So I was thinking, everyone loves the headcanon that Regulus can't swim right? Okay, hear me out, Modern AU where the fic doesn't take place in London but rather south/south southeastern england (sort of where the climate is a bit warmer and less rainy.) or maybe california? I haven't decided. Growing up, Regulus had total freedom to learn how to swim as a child- because their parents had a big pool out back, but he absolutely did not, under any circumstances, want anything to do with the water when he was younger. So he just never learned as a kid, and his parents hold it against him all the time and refuse to let him take swimming lessons because it'd be embarrassing. Regulus, now 17, lives in a house with a massive pool he cannot swim in. While their parents are on a business trip or something, Sirius has the grand idea for a pool party, and after a lot of pushback on Regulus' part, the two finally agree for a small pool party. Que James Potter, Regulus has definitely NOT had a crush on since he was 13, who teases Regulus about sitting on the poolside rather than swimming. "What, can the big, bad, Regulus Black not swim or something?" "Perhaps I just don't like water." "You're such a spoil sport, Reg, come on," To which James proceeds to pick Regulus up, ignoring his horrified curses to put him down, and drop him in the deep end of the pool.

It's only after Regulus doesn't come back up that James realizes his mistake, and ends up having to drag a coughing, half drowned, Regulus back to the surface. "You can't swim? Why the hell wouldn't you tell me that before I dropped you in?!" "Oh so your attempt on my life is my fault now? Is that what you're saying?" Then the rest of the fic is just James teaching Regulus how to swim, which leads to Regulus feeling like he has to give something back so he starts tutoring him in English (totally not because he likes spending time with James or anything), and then background Walbruga and Orion Black being bad parents, with some angst hurt comfort thrown in there and all the road bumps that come with long fics in this godforsaken fandom. OBVIOUSLY HEA because I'm not stable enough for it to end badly. ANYWAYS I think I'm going to write it A03 is pagesandink but I'll post a link here when I get it started. :)

sirius teases james about liking regulus and james denies it because he CANNOT tell his best friend that he fancies the fuck out of his brother that would be crazy, but when sirius teases regulus about it he just replies with 'and? so what if i do, have you seen james?' and sirius looks horrified

[ecstarry]

regulus being an absolute menace when drunk, he has never heard of personal space, not with james. there is nothing that will stand between him and his man. like clingy does not cut it, he is fully attempting to climb james every chance he gets but james loves this so much, he's happy to be a tree for reg to climb, his lap's only purpose is to be a seat for reg and he does not need his hands for anything other than touching his boyfriend all the fucking time

Creep hitting on Regulus @ the bar:

GUY: What’s your body count, beautiful?

REG: That depends.

GUY: On what?

REG: Wether you’re asking how many guys I’ve “taken home” or how many I’ve taken out ☠️

REG (whispers): Both are higher than you’d think.

JAMES: …I want him in a way that’s concerning to my life expectancy.

[fiasco95]

Regulus on his way home from visiting James, his brother and friends in uni for the weekend.

James, drunk and full on sobbing: I miss my boyfriend! Come back!

James, holding his iPad with Regulus’ mid-laugh picture showing: Bring back my husband(boyfriend) from war (college) It’s been 5 years(5 hours) since I’ve seen him!!!

Sirius, Remus, Peter, Dorcas, Marlene & Lily:

Marlene: Godric, somebody do something about him!!!

Dorcas: Let me call Reg-

Lily: It’s literally 3AM?! Let him sleep! Just because his boyfriend is a clingy and dramatic mess-

Sirius: I’m going commit tonight, murder or su!c!de- I’m debating.

Remus: Sirius-

James, crying louder than before because he heard all of them: I WANT MY BOYFRIEND!!

Peter: Me too.

James:

Sirius, Remus, Peter, Dorcas, Marlene & Lily:

Peter, shrugging: What?

Dorcas did end up calling Reg in the middle of the night and put him on FT with James to get him to shut up so they can all go to sleep in peace.

Regulus is 100% one of those people who freaks the fuck out whenever he realises he has a crush like this man full-on goes into hibernation and will not speak to them for days. he also has about 19 meltdowns a week and refuses to do so much as breathe in their general direction

when he realizes he’s in love with James fucking Potter, of all people all hell breaks loose

[solthewizard]

james : that hot ass man is so cold. so uptight. wtf is wrong with him i want him so bad why cant he want me

regulus (silently) : HE LOOKED IN MY DIRECTION HE LOOKED IN MY DIRECTION HE LOOKED IN MY DIRECTION HE LOOKED IN MY DIRECTION HE LOOKED AT ME SCREAMS

familiar - Jegulus Microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - word count: 232

It took James longer than Regulus expected to notice.

At first he said nothing. Just sat down on the couch in the Slytherin Common Room and pulled him closer, prattling on about his day. But as Regulus began to discuss how his classes had gone, he started noticing the flicker of emotions on his boyfriend's face. Because, he knew, James was finally seeing the familiar fabric on Regulus's body.

"Reg?" James asked lightly, tilting his head to the side and pressing his lips together in a tight smile that obviously held back a laugh. "Is that my t-shirt?"

Pretending to ponder this for a moment even as he wanted to grin, Regulus pinched his eyebrows together then said, "No...I don't think so?" It was. It was huge on Regulus and had the logo of a Muggle band on it.

Chuckling, James leaned toward him, plucking at the shirt and murmuring. "This is mine, love."

But Regulus just gave him a disbelieving grin. "No, Jamie. It's mine."

And James sighed, leaning back a bit to look him up and down, obviously admiring the way his shirt looked on Regulus's smaller frame. "Fine. But that's the last shirt of mine you take," he said with a laugh, pulling Regulus into his arms.

"Shirt of mine," Regulus corrected, grinning ear-to-ear. "It's mine."

"You're mine, you arsehole," James replied affectionately, pressing a kiss to his head.

[jeguluses]

james coming home from sirius’ house the first time he smoked weed, giggling as he trips over the toy his dog brings over, messily petting her head when he rights himself.

“good girl,” he says grinning stupidly.

when he passes by the living room, his mother calls his name.

he was on his way to his bedroom, hoping both his parents were already asleep. he curses silently to himself and tries to remember what his face normally looks like.

“is this how fast i normally breathe?” he thinks to himself. it feels a bit fast.

his mother has always been a bit of a night owl, despite being an early riser. this was something she passed down to him. in the living room, james finds her reading a book. it’s the one on the harpy’s she’d recently received from him as a birthday gift.

she looks up from it knowingly and says, “go to bed. try not to wake your father. you didn’t drive did you?”

james shakes his head. euphemia looks at him a bit longer and sighs. returning to her book, “i love you. goodnight.”

he says the words back warmly, shoulders going lax and breath returning.

on james’ way back to the darkened hallway, she adds, “there are cupcakes on the counter. you can have one. one, james.”

he grins, padding over to kiss her forehead as she quietly shoos him away.

in bed, cupcake crumbs all over his sleep shirt, he dials regulus’ number.

the younger boy picks up on the second ring.

“james, if you aren’t dying, then you’re single. so help me—“

james cuts him off with soft laughter. “i love you.”

the other end of the line is quiet. then, “i love you too,” and, “i miss you,” a moment after that.

james sighs, brushing the crumbs onto his bed and turning on to the clean side, his arm propped beneath him.

james pauses, biting at his lip, nervous. regulus says his name over the line, prompting him. “i got high at sirius’.”

this time, regulus the one who is quiet. james feels nauseous. then, suddenly regulus is laughing.

“barty convinced me to try some of pandora’s edibles last week,” he confesses through giggles.

james gasps, “regulus! you spend two months at a boarding school and somehow you’re more corrupt now?”

regulus is still laughing as james adds, “what kind of stuff are they teaching you there?”

“nothing interesting, i swear.”

james whines, suddenly needy, “can’t believe you’re a hour away and i can’t kiss you right now. we should be kissing. we should always be kissing.”

regulus sighs, “what about breathing?”

“what about it?”

they fall asleep on the phone in the midst of talking about all the things they’re going to do when they are together again.

maybe they both have a new hobby now.

[lexithwrites]

just pictured james learning french for his wedding vows and its the moment regulus starts bawling after keeping his composure all morning

[ecstarry]

i love petty and a bit obsessive james potter like yes he did just push someone to get to class first and sit next to regulus but what he doesn't know is that reg is the exact same just more discreet
