Sirius: You need to stop correcting me

Regulus: Then you need to stop being wrong

[moonyfr]

Regulus Black, who was controlled by his fear. Regulus Black, who missed opportunity after opportunity to do something he wanted because he hadn't done it before, and he was too scared to try. Regulus Black who lay awake at night, regretting all the things he hadn't done, all the things he could have done but chose not to. All the things he wishes he had done.

Regulus Black who would listen to everyone else the day after a party talk about how epic it was, wishing he'd been there, knowing he could have been if he hadn't been so scared of showing up.

Regulus Black with barley any friends because he didn't dare make new ones. Regulus Black who was seen as cold and distant because he never spoke to anyone, or did anything.

Regulus Black, who had watched James since he was young, but never approached him. Regulus Black who never found out he could have had James, because he was always too afraid to try.

Regulus Black who stayed behind when his brother left because he was too scared of what would happen if his parents found them before they were out. Regulus Black who accepted the dark mark because he was scared of what would happen if he didn't.

Regulus Black who dared to be brave only once. Regulus Black who failed, but couldn't regret it, not really. Because at least, just this once, he'd tried.

Regulus Black who felt alive for the first time mere minutes before his passing. Regulus Black who died without ever living.

Regulus would definitely pick Sirius's long hair off James's clothes and say "who is she?" every time as a joke

[randommmthoughts]

James would do anything for Regulus

But he would do ANYTHING for Regulus if he asks it in French

[moonydoodlez]

Regulus: I wasn't allowed to have knives so..

James: Yeah that makes sense, I wouldn't let you have a knife either

[yourgalgremlin]

I love how as a fandom we decided that Regulus Black has cold hands.

We really said : “The twink with the locket? That’s a POOR CIRCULATION havin’ bitch if I’ve ever seen one.”

[fae-whispers]

Regulus, laying in bed: Get out of my room.  Sirius, standing just outside of the door frame: I’m not in your room.

[moonyspride]

james: DATE NIGHTTTTT

james: WHAT DO I WEAR

remus: clothes would be a good start mate

peter: oh and definitely some boxers

peter: unless you wanna go commando

sirius: jamie… please don’t turn up in your birthday suit to take my brother on a date

remus: reggie might like that though

sirius: don’t speak so daft remus

sirius: reggie doesn’t like naked bodies. he’s too young.

peter: he’s a year younger?

remus: sirius. question.

sirius: yes my moonage daydream?

remus: did you like the look of naked bodies last year when you were 17?

sirius, winking: i liked the sight of a naked you

peter: *walks out*

remus: padfoot.

sirius: oh come on. you practically gave me that one.

james: i mean you kinda did.

james: anyways. you’ve been no help at all.

[curiouslymyown]

Regulus goes nowhere without his noise cancelling headphones

[moonyscane]

james: so,, moons did you get anything for valentines?

remus: yeah actually

james: what? who from?!

remus: a bunch of shit from some ‘S’ girl

james: wow i got a sweet letter from an ‘R’. wasn’t you was it moony?

(cuts to regulus and sirius struggling to understand muggle wrapping paper so their presents will look nice for their valentines but ending up tangled in tape and shreds of pink paper)

[maladaptivewriting]

regulus black who struggles with chronic fatigue. regulus black who was never allowed to be sick as a child so now he fantasizes about developing a terminal illness so people will be forced to care for him. regulus black who was emotionally neglected by his parents. regulus black who only ever describes his childhood as “lonely.”

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Regulus would be the type to write fanfics but completely be in denial about it Like:

Barty: Regulus is writing fanfics again

Regulus: They are not fanfics, I am simply writing some poems and stories about my favorite characters.

Barty: That’s what fanfic means.

Regulus: Shut the fuck up you don’t know shit!

Barty: you make them all gay!

Regulus: THEY ARE GAY IN CANON TOO!!

[thatdyingacewhoneedstheirspace]

is it just me or would Regulus absolutely tell Voldemort to suck his hypothetical dick?

[adharastarlight]

Regulus has a sun tattooed on his achilles heel. I will give no more of an explanation, you're just gonna have to trust me on this one

[aidens-ocean-galaxy]

Regulus just spins around when he’s overstimulated (good or bad) and Barty and Pandora always join him because it helps regulate them and all three of them love it

and then they collapse to the floor and have floor time

[crescenthistory]

Ok not a request but I loved the recent regulus fic with “where is she?”. I can just picture snape showing up in the infirmary the next day just fully bandaged and in casts all thanks to Barty and Evan

THANK YOU i really loved writing that one, hurt/comfort is my shit, especially with someone wound so tight like regulus. something about losing control you know?

and absolutely – as soon as you are out of the infirmary, your bed is taken over by snape for his egregious crime. as is the next one over by avery, for being involved in the situation. beside him is mulciber, for trying to protect his "friends", and any others who got in the way.

regulus is barty's oldest friend; any turmoil he feels must be avenged. reader is the one barty treasures perhaps most; any violence against them must be reciprocated. as for evan, he has that quiet, simmering, unwavering loyalty, both for reader and regulus, but of course, above all else, barty. even if he didn't particularly care for you, he would have followed barty on his almost-murder spree – but when you, someone who always holds space for him and understands him, is all but gutted on school property by buffoons? and not even with a purpose or methodology, just out of pure stupidity? he is not just supporting barty nor satiating some twisted fascination, he is revelling in the opportunity to protect you after-the-fact.

say what you want about those two, call them unhinged, maniacal, disturbing, but they are and will remain pack animals. they protect their own.

they do wait, though. not with the threats, nor possibly the restraining or light maiming of the offending parties, but with any level of repercussions that require immediate medical attention. because there is no way in hell they are going to let those sods near you anytime soon.

i also think you have to keep insisting and reminding them for the next foreseeable future that you did not die:

"when snape killed treasure" is a common point of reference for barty.

"i want nothing to do with that murderous bastard" "he didn't murder me, barty" "you don't know what you're talking about"

"i'm literally sitting here, breathing, right now" "i still hear her voice sometimes"

evan would always position himself between you and snape in a room, even if he genuinely never had anything against you specifically nor would risk the injuries himself

while you roll your eyes affectionately at their theatrics, it actually does unnerve regulus

he is still largely affected by the whole thing, the thought of losing you a sore topic (sorer than it already was, that is)

only when you give evan and barty a look before nodding inconspicuously at regulus do they quiet down

though they never truly let it go

barty would definitely reference your "death" in his best man speech at your wedding sorry
