#sorry that for you came for sexy regmonty hc’s and got this weirdly emotional fucked up foursome backstory…..

[quillkiller]

please more fleamont and regulus…please…

lowkey im not THAT overly invested in regmonty if it doesn’t involve the fucked up foursome (effiebarty & regmonty + bartylus…..)

to me regmonty only happens because bartylus have this fucked up relationship where they want to homewreck the potters for no other reason than that they Could… or like, barty doesn’t care that much about WHO they homewreck… he’s just being roped into regs super secret revenge plot… like that meme/tumblr post ’i just wanted to stand on this hill with you’ <- about the hill someone wants to die on. this is the hill regulus wants to die on and barty just wants to stand next to him <3 so like.. in its core, regmonty will always be about bartylus to me… usually this has past unrequited jegulus and/or resentment that the potters stole his brother and reg wants to burn their entire sanctuary to the ground……. and at the end of the day it’s barty who stands next to him.. who wont leave his side, who’ll see it through with him, help him scheme, etc etc etc. that’s not to say barty isn’t entirely and completely into it.. He Is. bartylus is always a secret third thing, even if they’re dating, and it’s never really healthy.. it’s devotion and codependancy and outside the realms of a normal friendship or a relationship.. like they just Stick Together. if anyone would fall for anyone it would be barty falling for effie, but despite falling for effie he still wouldn’t leave regulus behind. he’s Seeing This Through. he’s regs, regs is his and he made a vow to stay with him when they were children <- weighs heavier to him than any sort of unexptected feelings he has for anyone else ever. reg isn’t going to fall for monty, he’s just playing him like a fiddle with a goal in mind. he is going to Ruin the potters lives for what they’ve done to him (<- so unbelievably childish…. i love him..) and barty is going to stick with him through it and feel bad about it (ONLY because of effie and genuibely no other reason) for the rest of his life but he wouldve never done it differently… his codependant fucked up whatever it is he has with reg will always weigh heavier than potentially feeling bad about something they do. and he very rarely feels bad….. effie is just special. he keeps a picture of her in a locket for years afterwards but never opens it. the real crux of it all is that reg is the one who hates himself the most by the end of this. he cant compartmentalize like barty. he had a goal in mind and he WILL achieve it and ruin their lives simply because he said he would.. and its going to haunt him for the rest of his life… not because he cares about the potters, but because he loves his brother more than he hates him
