#regulus is his husband

[earlgreymoony]

Forgot to post James' birthday post here 🫣 (like always). Oops, here he is

[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.

I just saw Wonka and now I can’t stop thinking about James Potter going to see it every few days and telling everyone in the cinema that his husband has a role in the movie.

They don’t realise until like the seventh time that his husband is Willy fucking Wonka.

Headcanon: love languages

How Callisto and Penelope are disgustingly in love and decide to make it everyone’s problem. Their specialty is being smitten with each other no matter how much time has passed since they got together—sometimes it’s too much for the eyes of other people, cavity-inducing sight right there from too much sweetness.

➺ Physical touch:

Simply put, it’s reassuring. They always reach for the other, both as a sense of security and comfort. Hugs are very frequent and last for a good couple of minutes because neither of them wants to separate first, or at all.

When Callisto is stressed or is about to lose his temper, Penelope places a hand on his shoulder or seeks his own out. It helps him calm down and gather his thoughts.

Kisses are the best, Callisto can never get enough, and Penelope gets all warm and fuzzy inside when he gives her all the little soft kisses.

Callisto always has his arm wrapped around Penelope or holds her hand, it makes him feel good—it improves his day too (the palace staff will forever be grateful).

He’s very clingy, so much so that even during summer when it’s very hot, Callisto gathers her all to him even when she tells him that it’s too hot for cuddles, he doesn’t care that they’re both actively sweating waterfalls during nighttime as well. Penelope tries to roll away but ultimately fails to escape her husband’s clinginess.

➺ Words of affirmation:

Between the two of them, Callisto is the most vocal when it comes to expressing his affection through words, however with time Penelope learns too.

A reoccurring thing between them is that they tell each other the first thing that goes through their head, keywords bluntness and honesty.

Penelope could be staring at Callisto for a good five minutes and when he inquires about it, she just blurts out “you’re beautiful” or “I love you” which inevitably stuns him momentarily; it’s the same the other way around only that Penelope sees it coming since he does it pretty often, but inevitably she still gets all flustered.

➺ Acts of service:

This speaks for itself. Callisto would do anything for her and although he doesn’t expect anything back from her, Penny would still do them and he gets very happy when that happens.

The most frequent instance is him carrying her around despite her protesting against it. Penelope won’t admit it out loud but she enjoys being carried like that. Callisto knows and doesn’t miss any chance to tease her for it.

Massages could be classified as another act of service, especially after a long day. When he’s tired, Penny helps him take baths and is the one that washes his hair, he enjoys it a lot because her touch is relaxing.

Meanwhile, Callisto just wants to take care of his wife and often shoos the maids away because of it. It leads to him learning Penelope’s routine for skincare and whatnot. Later on to her insistence, they both end up having facem masks together to his amusement.

➺ Gift giving:

Having held off from splurging for most of his life, finally Callisto has something that he’d gladly spend his money on—or rather someone.

To him, Penelope deserves nothing but the best so he doesn’t think twice about getting her anything and everything she wants.

He tends to buy every little thing that reminds him of her, later offering them to Penelope as gifts—even if it lands him a scolding. She thinks he goes too overboard, but Callisto just wants to see her happy and shower her with riches and pretty things like her.

When they go out, if her eyes happen to linger on an object for longer than 5 seconds, it’s as good as sold in his books and you best believe he will get it for her, despite her protests.

Years later, Penelope is still salty over that handkerchief incident (even if she won’t ever admit it), so she embroiders plenty of handkerchiefs for him, and Callisto is always carrying at least one with him, proudly so. The others end up in the drawers of his office desk or easily reachable spots in places he spends the most time, so he never has to go without one.

Penelope also has some jewelry pieces made, thanks to her mines and assets which she turns into a business; due to this, Callisto is always seen wearing a brooch, cufflinks and earrings that are quite unique, expensive and of high quality. He’s very proud of those and likes to show off the gifts his wife got him, he can often be found bragging about said gifts in front of his vassals and soldiers—anyone really, even during events.

No one is spared from the Emperor’s endless gushing and words of adulation for his Empress and her thoughtfulness.

Jegulus raising Harry.

Harry: I need to tell you something.

James: What is it?

Harry: …

Regulus: We will love you no matter what.

Harry: I’m bi…

James: That’s great!

Harry: And I’m dating Draco Malfoy..?

Regulus: That’s less great.

Dec 19. Prompt: Note. Word count: 278 @jegulus-microfic

James was frantically searching in their closet, looking for the bracelet his mom had given him that got lost in their moving boxes, when he opened a shoebox that made his heart flutter. He found piles of little notes in his handwriting, going back years, when Regulus first became a nurse.

With Regulus’ long hours and intense schedule, James took it upon himself to pack his then-boyfriend’s lunchbox for every single shift and he’d pack it with his lover’s favorite foods. There was always a warm homecooked meal, whether it was James’ or Effie’s, a cold wrap or sandwich, crackers with hummus or peanut butter, some fruits and veggies, an energy drink, a gatorade, and water. He’d mix it up so Reggie never got bored of his food but what he never changed were his little notes. He always wrote Regulus a small note and placed it on top of the containers so he could see it first when he would open his lunch bag. They were different variations of have a good day, I love you, a fun fact James had recently learned, encouraging words because his job was draining at times. Regulus always teased him about it but they both knew that those words helped Reg get through his 12+ hour shifts.

James never realized his now-husband had kept them all, every single one, in this little box. He's so busy staring at it with tears in his eyes that he doesn’t notice Regulus walking towards him with a soft, knowing smile on his face. He doesn’t say anything, just kisses his husband’s cheek as he drops today’s note in the box along with the others.

What if I said Lucretia and Narcissa are to Regulus what Alphard and Andromeda are to Sirius?

[mishy-mashy]

That opinion that every happy ending involves getting married and having kids and it's happily ever after? This does NOT apply to the Astrea family AT ALL.

Case Study #1: Wilhelm and Theresia

They marry and have a kid, go through that typical line of a happy end... but in reality, Wilhelm loves his wife too much, and it's a problem

(especially after said wife dies and he blames everyone else in his family and Oh, Look! Family Drama!™)

Happily ever after? He's estranged himself from the Astreas now, blames his own grandson, and goes on a long journey of revenge. His son's become an alcoholic, his daughter-in-law is dead to the world, and he just left the Astrea family to be handled by the mess that is Heinkel

Wilhelm was so obsessed with his wife, thought his kid might've been a genius (he was not), and when his wife was gone, he was pretty quick to turn around and leave

And where was he before Theresia even died? Where was Theresia, too? When Heinkel couldn't get a job, when Louanna became a Sleeping Beauty, or when people broke into the Astrea manor?

Reinhard was five when Theresia died. These events all happened before that, and they're... enjoying retirement, I guess?

Case #2: Louanna and Heinkel

First off, they married young. Well, to us, it's young, but remember, the age they can start getting married is 15. They're in something like a medieval period. Being around 18 or 19 is totally plausible to get married for them. As we've seen with Priscilla, age gaps aren't a problem either

Heinkel has a beautiful wife and has a kid, and all is well for exactly two years. Then his wife is Gluttony-ed, and everything goes downhill from then on

Heinkel...

... has little talent for the sword, yet is stuck between two generations of Sword Saints (his mother and his son)

... doesn't qualify for the "van" in his name

... can't even get a proper job on his own

... almost loses Reinhard when he's FOUR

... is searching for a cure for his wife that involves killing the dragon that protects their kingdom

... has not kept his wife's state under wraps so nearly everyone knows and can gossip

... verbally abuses even those who try to help him and then regrets it when it's too late

... lost to his own 5-year old kid in a sword duel despite training his whole life himself

... is aware that national laws have been made to restrict his son

... has a job for the sake of appearances with no actual responsibility

... 's job is being done for him by someone about half his age and is otherwise just a knight (Julius)

Heinkel grew up with two heroes for parents, realized he could never match up to even the family general standard, but he does get a beautiful wife and son... and then his wife disappears in what might've the peak of his marriage, and his son has all the talent in the world—something Heinkel might've dreamed of having

Case 3: Reinhard.

Reinhard is obviously expected to marry and have a child to continue the Divine Protection, but that too is just another responsibility he's burdened with.

He's someone with so many Divine Protections that he can see the reality of what each is like. What if he doesn't want his kid to go through having the one that brings so much family expectation (Sword Master)?

Does Reinhard even lose that blessing if it's passed on? Does he just keep his copy and the next one has it too?

Would Reinhard actually feel relieved because his own child now shoulders the responsibilities he had to deal with over the Divine Protection?

Does Reinhard even have a proper understanding of how to express love, or what parental love looks like, if the two cases above are his main examples?

It's been stated that Reinhard would marry whoever the world chose. He isn't going to choose, and especially not for love. Reinhard's just an existence trying to please everyone and live up to their expectations because there's too much at stake that it's impossible to do otherwise

Example: what if he doesn't do right and everyone is dissapointed or leaves?

What even happened during the shady relationship Reinhard and Heinkel apparently had when Reinhard was younger?

In fact, the Astrea family problems started AFTER they got married. Except Reinhard, but that's because he already has to deal with the problems from the marriages of those before him, and they still haven't been solved or even ignored

if barty was ghost face his first victim would be james, because who does james think trying to flirt with his boyfriend even if it was a way for regulus to distract him so than barty could stab him.

Regulus: I'm a feminist Regulus: I support women's right to kill the husband if he sucks

My children are being stupid again: Just lovers edition part 1

James: I am weirdly invested in getting Regulus to fake date me so much so that it caused in me a realisation that I'm queer but I'm sure that doesn't mean anything. I just want to snog him all the time and want to be around him and feels like his laugh lights up the world because we're mates and I'm only dating him to get lily to notice me in that way. Right?

Regulus: James potter is an idiot if he believes that he isn't the most loveable being on the planet lily is stupid and I will kill anyone who dares make him cry and and he is so stupid and i want to kill him but i dont and fuck it i just need a hug but i will not admit we too full of self loathing for that

Sirius: Huh, I am feeling weird negative feelings upon hearing that my bESt FrIeNd fancies blokes and shagged some one. I am absolutely disgusted by this fact but not by the fact that my little brother and best mate also like shagging blokes. THis definitely does not reveal something significant about who I am as a person. It just means I am an awful and disgusting human being

Remus: I want to kill sirius. I want to kiss Sirius. I want to kill someone. Just let me be violent

Peter: My best friends are being stupid and in love again and its like I'm in fucking romcom. this is hilarious. Merlin just shag already

Callisto trying to stop Penelope from leaving for the excavation sites and her honest reaction:

Callisto has malewife potential, the way he wanted to crown Penelope as the Emperor and he’d be her spouse sksksksks. He wanted to be her trophy husband lmao. This happened at some point, canon I was there, I was the pillow Callisto hid underneath the robes, pretty sure they had a conversation that went like this

Penelope: I’ll go—

Callisto: I’m pregnant.

Penelope: what.

Callisto: I’m with child, and it’s yours

Penelope:

Callisto:

Penelope: how.

Callisto: we didn’t use protection, didn’t you say you were going to get me pregnant if we were to get stuck in a closet? That was not a closet, but it most definitely worked. You can’t leave your pregnant spouse to be just like that.

Penelope: get rid of that pillow. now.

Callisto: this is OUR CHILD

Penelope: do not. I will deny your weekly visits.

Callisto: *throws away pillow all harumph harumph* fine! come here, we’re getting to work for the real deal since you’ve denied me this child

[birlwrites]

that reg(/?)giada thing sounds amazing. and he'd be a terrible/fantastic ADULT FIGURE(tm) to blaise. like, if giada's ex's wanted to live longer, they should have been more competent. she won because she was better at the game. it doesn't matter if she fooled them. they shouldn't have been fooled to begin with. you should be proud of your mother, blaise. (incidentally, i've always thought if regulus had been born a girl, there would have been so many black widow jokes)

i mean giada's ex husbands did not really stand a chance, like what were they going to do? not get murdered? that's the whole reason she married them
