⋆˙⟡ The prophecy

Summary: Your whole life of being ignored in love makes you believe that love will never come for you, so seeing James start dating the only person you thought loved you is too much for you. 'Let it once be me' Pairing: Jegulus x fem!reader Words: 4600 Warnings: Reader is an insecure nerd with a lack of love (she's also oblivious), mentions of crying and self-hatred, use of yn one time, hurt/confort, a bit of angst if you close one eye, slightly suggestive (Nothing explicit), a lot of fluff <3 Let me know if I miss anything!

Since you were little you could not help but feel forgotten, of course there were people who loved you, you were not a complete loser, you had a few friends and had no problems with anyone in your class, but still that painful feeling was still there, your friends had more friends, more friends to spend time with when you were not there, but you did not have so many people to hang out with.

Regulus was the only friend you were really close to, the only one who hadn't moved away over the years, Regulus had more friends, such as Barty or Evan, but he always showed you that you were his priority, including you in all the plans he made, listening to you attentively and never leaving you alone, the boy wasn't good at expressing his emotions, but it was the little details that made you feel his appreciation for you.

Over the years you and Regulus had become too close, you practically lived in his room, where he could listen to you for hours talking about the same subject no matter how much you rambled, it wasn't always like that, sometimes it was quiet evenings where you were both silently reading, just enjoying each other's presence.

Anyone who knew Regulus knew you and vice versa, you spent most of your time together, occasionally being accompanied by Barty or Dorcas.

With anyone else you couldn't help but feel like a lapdog, chasing people and seeking their attention, with Regulus none of this happened, there was no awkwardness or anxiety, just tranquility and affection.

But as always, the universe seemed to want to test you, every year a misfortune happened in your life, this year the misfortune was called James Potter and it was a cute quidditch player with glasses.

At first you didn’t care, you and regulus were assigned together to a school job with James, nothing out of the ordinary, regulus seemed somewhat irritated by the idea of working with one of Sirius' friends but said he wouldn’t give it any importance.

The assignment was not particularly easy, it was hours in the library and you had to admit that working with James wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, but time seemed to pass quickly when the three of you were together.

Everything seemed relatively normal to you, you didn’t even care that James and Regulus seemed to get along, it was all too subtle, started with Regulus going to the library first, spending time alone with James and discussing assignment issues without you, then James started visiting more often the black lake, where you and regulus spent time together, but after that Regulus started going to the library without you, you used to find James chatting with regulus in the halls.

You wanted to think it was nothing, regulus still your best friend, still paying attention and even remembered your favorite chocolate, which he made sure to give you whenever he felt something was wrong.

You wanted to convince yourself that nothing was wrong, but there was a strange feeling in your chest, a little voice in your head telling you that something was wrong.

But how could this be wrong? James was sweet and attentive, he was the most popular boy at Hogwarts, he made Regulus smile, which no one else but you did, he even talked to you, included you in his plans and talked to you, listening carefully to what you said.

Even if you tried to hate James you couldn't, the boy was a gentleman in every sense of the word, but you thought it was his nature, you didn't think you were special, so you let James carry your books, walk you to class and even went to the three brooms with Regulus, for you it was nothing out of this world, but in spite of everything that horrible feeling wouldn't go away from you, that feeling that everything was going to end badly.

You really wanted to like him, there was nothing wrong with James, maybe it was you that was wrong...

“I didn't think you even knew anything about poetry” you could recognize Regulus' voice as he turned in one of the corridors, which surprised you, you hadn't seen him all morning, which was strange since you used to have breakfast together on weekends.

“Oh hi dove” James' voice snapped you out of your thoughts, you hadn't even noticed that you almost bumped into them.

James had a habit of calling everyone by nicknames, from “dove” to “sweetheart”, so you had understood that it didn't mean anything, but a strange feeling settled in your stomach every time he did.

“Hi, where were you?” You asked both of them, although your gaze was fixed on Regulus, your voice was calm but had some concern in it, had they gone out alone?

“We went to hogsmaede, for the poetry books I told you about” Regulus said calmly, but you felt a pang in your chest, you were the one who had told Regulus about those new books in the bookstore, you had agreed that you would go together for it.

“I thought we were going together after dinner” You said somewhat confused, but it was obvious that you were feeling a little bad about this.

“Ah it's just that I told James and he offered to go with me, you seemed busy with your Herbology homework, I didn't want to bother you” Regulus explained without giving it any importance, he really believed that you didn't care, you had gone a million times together to Hogsmaede and he had seen you a little off these last days, so he didn't want to bother you or force you to go out, he knew you were not the most social person.

But he didn't know that you didn't care, that you would always go out with him if he asked you to, of course, you weren't a fan of socializing or going to places with a lot of people, but you didn't care if it meant going with him.

“Oh okay, sure…” You said trying to sound as calm and disinterested as possible, maybe it was ridiculous, you were just overreacting, right? Regulus could go out with whoever he wanted, it didn't matter, but why did it hurt so much?

“We can go again later if you want, Marlene said there is a new coffee shop next to honeydukes” James said almost instantly, he seemed to have noticed the way your mood had changed.

“Oh no, Regulus was right, I have to finish my herbology homework…I'll see you guys later” You said with disinterest, though you couldn't even look them in the eyes, you felt a lump in your throat forming, a whirlwind of emotions flooding you, but you didn't want to make a spectacle of yourself there, it would be ridiculous, so you didn't let them say another word and hurried off to your room, feeling a pressure in your chest grow and the tears stinging in your eyes.

You wanted to stop the tears but you couldn't, it had all become too much at that moment, so all you could do was lock yourself in the bathroom of your room, sitting next to the bathtub and bringing your legs to your chest as the tears rolled down your cheeks.

You felt ridiculous, crying over two boys you didn't even have anything with, that was the problem, you had nothing, you never had anything, at the beginning it was a joke between you and Regulus, saying you were both losers with no love life, but now there was only you, Regulus had James, the most damn beautiful and attentive boy at Hogwarts, and where were you?

You didn't know what it was that feeling that came over you, some kind of envy or… jealousy?

You had seen the way James looked at Regulus, with stars in his eyes, you wanted that, you wanted someone to love like you were the air he breathed, you wanted to be able to intertwine your hands with Regulus' like James did, you wanted to snuggle between the two of them and wake up knowing you had someone who cared about you.

But you knew it wasn't possible, you knew it since you were a little girl, when all your friends ended up moving away, when everyone started to have their first kiss and you hadn't even held hands romantically with someone, you just wanted it to be you for once.

A knock on the door made you jump in place, at first you thought it was just one of your roommates, but a voice proved otherwise.

“Is everything okay in there, love?” at that moment you couldn't hate regulus' nicknames any more, you didn't want to see him at that moment, to anyone.

“Yeah, I'm fine” You said trying to sound calm, wiping the tears coming out of your eyes with the sleeves of your sweater.

“Can we come in?” your brow furrowed slightly at his words, We? but as if Regulus had read your mind, he spoke again. “James is here too, you didn't look so good earlier.”

You wanted to curse, what the fuck did James have to do there? You didn't want to be seen like that, you didn't want anyone to see you like that, but there was another feeling in your chest, you wanted to be comforted, you wanted someone to tell you that everything would be alright.

So before Regulus could say anything else, you walked up to the door and unlocked it, opening it slightly before stepping away, letting them in.

James and Regulus felt their chests heave at the sight of you, your eyes puffy and reddish, traces of tears on your cheeks and your eyes burning bright with tears.

Your gaze went to your hands, playing with the hem of your sweater, you didn't have the courage to look at them, you felt ridiculous, dramatic, like a little girl.

James was the first to approach, the brown-haired man was about to take you in his arms, wanting to protect you from everything, but for a moment he remembered that you and he were not as close as he would like, and he had seen you pull away a million times when someone tried to hug you.

“What's the wrong, dove?” asked James worriedly, holding back the urge to stretch his arms toward you.

Your chest tightened as you listened to him, why did he have to use those nicknames? Why did he have to be so nice?

“It's nothing, it was just a b-bad day I guess” You said trying to sound disinterested, but the slight cut in your voice gave away that something was wrong.

“This isn't just a bad day, yn, you've been acting weird all week, even with me” Now the one who spoke was Regulus, his voice sounding a little hurt, it was true, you had been pushing Regulus away for the last week, something you had never done before, the boy had been there for you all your life, you would never want to push him away, but this last week it had all become too much, your thoughts were overwhelming you, making you miserable and you didn't want Regulus to deal with you and your problems, you couldn't be a burden, to him or anyone else.

Your gaze lifted slightly, looking at Regulus and James for a moment, you felt your eyes fill with tears almost instantly, Regulus was wearing James' sweater, you didn't know if you hadn't noticed it before or if he had just put it on, but either way it hurt, it made your chest tighten.

Your mind went back to the last few weeks, remembering all the interactions between James and Regulus, the way they both looked at each other and laughed, the hickeys you had tried to ignore on Regulus' neck, the times you accidentally caught them in the hallways in a sweet kissing session, all those memories invaded your mind at once and made you feel miserable, because you were losing the only person you had ever loved, because it wasn't you who they loved, because it was never you who was loved.

Tears came out of your eyes non-stop, making you sob like never before, you felt like a little girl, weak and alone, wishing someone would hold you and tell you that everything would be all right.

Regulus soon came closer, wrapping you in his arms as if he was afraid you were going to fall apart right there, you wanted to cry harder, you felt ridiculous, you would have wanted to walk away, to disappear, but at that moment everything became too much and you could only sink into Regulus' arms, wishing your misery would end.

Regulus felt his chest tighten at seeing you so heartbroken, you had been holding it all in for so long that now you felt as if your own feelings were suffocating you, Regulus felt his own eyes fill with tears at the sight of you, feeling terrible for letting you get to this point, for not having cared sooner at seeing you so distant, a pang of guilt appeared in his chest.

James next to you wasn't much better, his face was one of genuine concern, he didn't know what to do, he didn't know you well enough to know what to do, he was afraid of getting so close to you that you would push him away.

“Love, please tell me what's wrong, it hurts me to see you like this” Regulus murmured, lightly stroking your hair, you sank deeper into his arms, wishing for it to be over, for the pain to disappear once and for all.

“I-I am what is wrong, it's a-always me…” You said between sobs, your head was starting to hurt from crying, you felt like you couldn't breathe.

“Dove, there's nothing wrong with you-” James started to say, trying to get closer to you, but you didn't even let him finish, feeling the pain cloud your t,thoughts.

“You don't know anything! Y-You would never understand…” You said painfully, pulling away from Regulus' arms, feeling your own chest tighten, to you James was the perfect boy, who had all of Hogwarts behind him, he would never understand your pain, no one would.

“Let us try, let us try to understand you” Regulus said quietly, trying to get closer to you again.

Your eyes filled with tears again, you felt a pressure in your chest suffocating you, you instantly shook your head, they were not going to understand you, they couldn't, not even you could, at some point they would notice how complicated you were and they would walk away, they couldn't fix you.

“I don't want to be understood, I don't want to be fixed, I don't-” You said in a clipped voice, tears kept coming out of your eyes, blurring your vision, you didn't even notice when James and Regulus had come so close to you.

“There's nothing to fix about you, love, you're not broken or damaged” James said softly, bringing his hand tentatively to your cheek, wondering if you would pull away or not.

But you didn't, you let James reach his hand up and gently touch your cheek, wiping away the tears that came from your eyes, his hand was warm and gentle on your cheek, you couldn't help but soften at his touch, it felt so good.

“I just want to be loved, is that so hard?” You said in barely a whisper, you sounded so vunerable, both boys felt their chests squeeze at hearing you, there was no way you were hard to love, not for them.

“Not at all, we've loved you from the first moment you appeared in our lives” Regulus said warmly, moving closer to you and James, tucking a lock of hair behind your ear.

You felt your breath catch when you heard his words, he didn't mean it, you were misinterpreting things, there was no way…

“You dont mean that, regulus, you dont-” You started to say instantly, pulling away from the touch of both of them defensively, you couldn't believe an illusion, you couldn't deal with the pain of losing them both.

“I don't what?” Regulus interrupted you, not letting you move too far away before gently grabbing one of your wrists. “I don't love you? You're not one to say what I feel or don't feel, I love you, and so does James” Regulus said seriously, not a trace of doubt in his voice.

You felt your breath catch, there was no way, it must have all been a dream, but you could feel Regulus' hand on your wrist, holding you gently, showing you that it was real, this was real.

“I don't know why you seem so surprised, dove, I know Regulus isn't very expressive but I thought we had been too obvious with our feelings for you” James said with obviousness, giving you a small smile, showing you that his words were true.

Your mind seemed to click, the memories of the last few weeks coming back to you, you had spent the last few weeks together with both boys and you had to admit that Regulus was a little more clingy with you than usual, he had looked at you more than usual while you were studying and you even remembered him playing with the bracelets in your hands, but you couldn't believe there were any other feelings with his looks or touches, he was your best friend and you had been so focused on his interactions with James that you hadn't even noticed how he acted with you.

With James the memories made you blush, now it all seemed a little more obvious, James was much more affectionate than Regulus, putting his arm around your shoulder as you walked, or telling you how good your hair looked with waves.

At that moment you couldn't help but shrink in place, feeling embarrassed, had they really been so obvious and you hadn't noticed?

“You really didn't notice anything?” Regulus asked incredulously, though something in his chest ached, you really didn't think they could be in love you?

“I, I d-didn't think…” The words didn't come out of your mouth, you felt embarrassed and a bit stupid, you wanted to believe their words but something in you still felt that it was all a bad joke, how could they notice you?

James noticed how your mind seemed to go too fast, overwhelming you with thoughts and ideas that weren't even true, so without thinking he approached you, taking your cheek again.

“We really like you, both of us, we love listening to you talk for hours about your books and hearing you laugh, I love when you insult me because I don't keep quiet in the library, I love how you and Regulus seem to get lost in your own world when you're together, I love how smart and kind you are, I love you, all of you.” James said sincerely, looking at you with those sparkling eyes that left you in no doubt that what he said was true.

You felt a new warmth in your chest, something you hadn't felt before, and it felt so…. nice

“I know that maybe now everything is too much and we'll go slow if that's the way you want it, we care about you, more than anything in this world, and I know that sometimes I'm an idiot who doesn't know what he wants, but if there's one thing I'm sure of is that I love you, and nothing will change my feelings for you” Regulus said, his cheeks were slightly flushed, you knew how hard it was for him to express himself, so every word meant too much to you.

Your mind was still thinking too much, a thousand ideas and emotions running through your mind, so many that they could overwhelm you, but for a moment a new feeling appeared in you and silenced everything else, it was love.

Your mind went blank, all the fear disappeared when you saw their looks, they were genuine, so for the first time you decided to believe, you decided that maybe this was for the best, you deserved it, for once, for the first time, it was you.

You were loved.

“I love you too” You mumbled in barely a whisper looking at both boys “I'm sorry for…for how I acted… I thought you guys were leaving me out and I-” You started to explain, feeling your chest hurt as you remembered how you yelled at James and walked away from Regulus, but they didn't let the pain last too long.

“It's okay dove, we didn't know you felt this way, we should have been more direct with you” James murmured warmly, with that tone that made you feel so safe.

“James is right, it was me who wanted to give you space when I saw you a bit discouraged, I should have asked what was wrong, I'm sorry, love” Regulus added with some pain in his voice, to which you immediately shook your head.

“No, no, it's not your fault, I preferred to isolate myself than to talk to you…I always do” You said without looking at them, the last thing in just a whisper, isolating yourself was something you couldn't avoid, you preferred to sink in your pain and misery than to let others carry it.

“You don't have to keep doing it, we're here and we're not leaving” Regulus said sweetly, taking your chin and lifting your gaze, “If you want space just tell us and we'll wait for you, love, but we'll always be there for you, you have us now, you don't have to go through your pain alone, you don't have to let your thoughts consume you, you're not alone.”

You felt your heart squeeze at Regulus' words, you were not alone, you had them, if this was a dream you never wanted to wake up.

Without thinking about it you approached Regulus, hugging him tightly and sinking into his arms, not without first taking James' hand so that he would also come closer, he didn't hesitate for a minute to hug you both.

“I love you, so much” You said softly, you wanted to say a million things, but at that moment you couldn't, you just wanted to sink into their arms and make everything else disappear, they knew it, they didn't move away for a moment, they didn't need words to know that you loved them.

“We love you more, dove, you have no idea” James said affectionately, running a hand through your hair in an loving gesture.

From your position you could hear the heartbeat in Regulus' chest, it was the best melody you had ever heard.

You wanted to stay like this forever, with them, they were everything you had ever dreamed of, you loved them.

Regulus carefully took your chin, lifting your face, his eyes were full of love, they were looking at you as if you were a dream.

“ May I?” murmured Regulus softly, his eyes fixed on your lips, he was asking for your permission, Regulus was asking for your permission to kiss you, and you felt like you would melt right there.

Almost instantly you nodded, there was no doubt in your mind that you wanted him to kiss you, even if you had never kissed anyone before, you wanted him to be the first, there was no doubt in your mind.

James was totally gawking at the sight of them, his heart was pounding in his chest.

Regulus didn't think too much before he gently cupped your cheek, bringing his face close to yours and pressing his lips to yours, you felt like you were in a dream, his lips were sweet and decisive on yours.

You felt all his love released in that kiss, it was as if he was pouring out all the love he had kept for you during all these years.

Your hands went to his hair, holding him close, your lips moved inexpertly over his, you wished it would never end.

Regulus seemed to feel the same, because it wasn't until you pulled away for air that he let you go, still holding your cheek.

Your lips were slightly puffy and your cheeks flushed, you were trying to catch your breath, and to James and Regulus you were the most beautiful thing they had ever seen.

“You've been waiting for this for a long time, haven't you?” James said to Regulus with some amusement, Regulus was in the same state as you, trying to catch his breath.

Regulus rolled his eyes slightly, before moving closer and leaving another kiss on your lips, this time a shorter one but with the same love, the boy had definitely become addicted to your lips.

When you pulled away you didn't know what to say, your cheeks were flushed, the smile on James' face didn't make you feel any less embarrassed, even in that state he looked at you as if you were a work of art.

“Damn I really want to kiss you” James gasped softly, bringing his hand to your jaw.

You didn't let James say anything else, you brought your lips to his and kissed him, to say you were scared was an understatement, but the moment your lips touched James' everything vanished.

James kissed you with such desire, his hand went from your jaw to the back of your neck, holding you close, his kiss was desperate but sweet, very different from Regulus, one of his hands went to your waist, pulling you closer to him and groaning in between the kiss.

James seemed to have been waiting for this moment all his life, at one point he lightly bit your lip, making you open your mouth and thrusting his tongue in, turning the kiss more heated, you felt your cheeks flush and you could barely keep up with him.

“James” Regulus called as a warning, making James pull away slightly, still keeping his grip on your waist.

“You'll have plenty of time for that later, let her process all of this first” Regulus said with amusement though there was some seriousness in his voice.

You were grateful to Regulus, sure the kiss with James was a dream, but your mind was still trying to process all of this, so you definitely needed to slow down a bit, this was all new to you.

James didn't look disappointed at all, he simply nodded slightly at Regulus, his face somewhat guilty, feeling that perhaps he had gone too far, he was much bolder than the black haired boy clearly, but if you needed to go slow he would wait as long as you needed to.

Even though your heart was still beating too hard in your chest you still wanted to prove to James that he had done nothing wrong, so you took his face and left a kiss on his lips, taking a moment to pull away.

“I love your kisses ” You said sweetly for James, showing him that all was fine, to which the boy's eyes lit up, giving you a small smile, god how you adored that smile.

That day all your fears vanished, you could feel a mess, a chaos, but among all the noise, there they were.

Finally the prophecy had changed for you.

I hope you liked this, I think it's a bit long but I think it's worth it, I hope all my Prophecy girls enjoyed it, your turn will come, don't forget i xoxo.

[dorlilymylovesss]

I want to speak out on a topic that has been really bothering and stressing me out. For several months now, Me and my friends who don't even ship jegulus, but are just Regulus fans have been harassed by Jily shippers. And not just with hateful words, but with specific accusations of fascism.

I want to start by saying that fandoms are a place where people can express their creativity and interpret characters as they like. Fanfics, art, and shippings are forms of self-expression, and they don't have to conform to canon. It allows us to look at characters from different angles, develop alternative plots, and create something new. And I don't judge or hate people for their favorite characters and ships.

I'm a huge Regulus fan even before the Jegulus ship came along. Regulus Black is a character I have a deep interest in for many reasons. Despite his limited appearance in the Harry Potter books, his story and character leave room for a lot of interpretation and thought. And I don't like it when people describe him as a regular Death Eater.

First, Jily fans often argue their dislike by saying that their ship is canonical( of course this is true and no one denies it) and James would never date a death eater. However, it should be remembered that fan art and shippings are inherently activities for the self and the soul. Even if a couple doesn't conform to "official" canon and never even met, it doesn't diminish the right of fans to create their own stories and interpretations.

Second Jegulus shippers are called misogynists.

But they may simply see these characters as interesting dynamics that catch their attention or interesting tropes that can be created. Choosing this ship doesn't necessarily mean they are intentionally excluding female characters and being negative towards them. Yes there are people among jegulus shippers who dislike Lily and exclude her from the story, but they are a minority. Plenty of jegulus shippers love Lily and also ship jily.

The charge of misogyny implies a conscious and systematic disregard for women or female characters. However, in most cases, Jegulus shippers simply enjoy a particular story or interaction between two male characters. This does not preclude an interest in or respect for female characters. Many shippers actively create and support content featuring female characters in other contexts or ships.

There is always a diversity of interests and preferences in fan circles. Not everyone likes the same characters or couples, and that's fine. However, to infer misogyny just based on someone's preference for a certain male couple without considering the overall context of a person's interests is wrong and unfair. Plus, I've seen thousands of Jily fans who were blatantly homophobic towards the marlily and pandalily enjoyers, and called James her only love, and erase her identity, leaving only her relationship with James.

Third, why calling the death eaters fascists is wrong and insulting to the actual victims of the tragedy.

Fascism as a political ideology and movement had specific historical roots and consequences, including brutal repression, genocide, and war. Death Eaters are fictional characters created by transphobic Rowling for a work of fiction, and their actions and motivations are part of a fictional universe.

Using historical examples of real-life suffering and tragedies to compare to fictional characters is disrespectful to those affected by real-life events. Historical tragedies such as the Holocaust require special respect and careful handling. And many Jewish content makers have already spoken out about it.

The kind of hate I've encountered as a Regulus fan is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. That being said, I've always loved jily, but after the hate, stupid accusations I've cooled off to them. You can't treat living people like that because of fictional characters. A lot of people don't care about canon written by a creepy transphobic woman, can you imagine?

Instead of wasting time on conflict and hate I suggest you create content on your favorite ships and leave other people alone. You have no idea how your hating can affect a person.

Not all shippers have the intention to demean or exclude other characters. Many of us simply love a particular dynamic and choose to explore it in our writing. This should not be taken as a threat or insult to other fans.

I love jegulus and jily, but my fav ship is dorlily and it saddens me that fans of the same fandom hate each other so much.

Not all shippers have the intent to demean or exclude other characters. Many of us simply love a particular dynamic and choose to explore it in our writing. This should not be taken as a threat or insult to other fans.

Leave other people alone. If u can't create content for your favorite ship and only can hate others its your f..king problem, it's unhealthy and childish.

I'm deeply sorry for jegulus artists and writers who got hate here and even death treats. I hope you will continue creating something that makes you happy.

@jegulus-microfic | april 19 class | words: 461

hiii! i feel like i neglected this au for too long so im back with another part; enjoy <3

part one | previous part

James

what time your classes end?

Reg

Why are you asking?

James

just curious :)

Reg

…

In an hour

James

good for you

James had a plan. He wanted to surprise Regulus by picking him up and taking him out for dinner. It wouldn’t be their first time, but he was nervous anyway, because this time it was supposed to be different.

After the art show, they met a few times to take a walk with Gigi together or for a casual coffee. Nothing special, really, but with every meeting, James felt the butterflies in his stomach getting wilder and wilder. So he decided today he would take Regulus on a real date. If he agrees, of course.

In the hour he had before meeting Regulus, James took a quick shower, put on a cosy, burgundy jumper, that matched his converse, and completed the look with some gold jewellery. Looking in the mirror for the last time, he grabbed the car keys and went out.

Regulus’ academy wasn’t far from his flat; it was only a fifteen-minute ride, so when he got there, he still had some time left.

When the class ended and a sea of students appeared on the school grounds, James started scanning the crowd to find those pretty, raven curls. As soon as he spotted who he was looking for, he took out his phone.

James

look to your right

He could see Regulus taking out his own mobile and looking up almost immediately. He found James after a few seconds, and his eyes went wide. He started walking in his direction, one eyebrow raised.

“Hi, Little Star,” James greeted him when Regulus reached his car.

“Hi James. Care to explain what you’re doing here?” Regulus asked. He looked more confused than annoyed, so it wasn’t that bad.

After clearing his throat, James started. “So, I was thinking—“

“Good for you,” Regulus cut in, winking at the other man. James just chuckled nervously at that.

“Yeah, I guess. Anyway, I was thinking—would you like to go on a date? With me?” The other man froze, awkward silence falling between them, and James suddenly felt like he crossed some invisible line. “You know, it’s stupid; I’m sorry I asked.”

Regulus blinked at him several times before saying, “You want to take me out? Like, kind of romantically?” Now James was blinking, surprised by the question.

“Yes?” he said hesitantly. That’s when Regulus cheeks turned this pretty, pink colour, his lips curling up.

“Okay,” he replied, biting on his lower lip, still smiling.

“Really?” James couldn’t believe it; he just had to make sure.

Regulus rolled his eyes before saying, “Yes, really, James. Now, get in the car; I’m starving,” and James couldn’t help but grin widely at that answer.

review: oh my god. this is going to age into a marauders classic. obviously we have to start with the jegulus: they are PERFRCT. this is the perfect jegulus dynamic omg james is literally sunshine boy and reg is this emotionally unavailable little shit and they want each other SOOOO BAD- reg is genderfluid in this fic, which is honestly one of my favorite hcs along with trans reg. their journey to figuring out their gender actually was so special to me (i'm a genderfluid presenting trans guy) and i loved the way it was portrayed. BLACK BROTHERS ANGST REIGNS SUPREME OMG idk why i like torturing myself so much but this is peak. sirius is also genderfluid and helps reg out once they reconcile. endgame jeggy obviously and background wolfstar.

guys i mean it when i say u NEED to read this. i fully broke into the media room at my no-phone sleep away camp so i could check if this had updated. (it had. it was the black brothers reconciliation chapter. i cried.) ANYWAY READ THIS MASTERPIECE AND WELL DONE @imdamagecontrol !!!!!!!

Toddlers and Sleepovers (1/1) (jegulus raising Harry)

“But Dad, I don’t want to go!” Harry whined as James helped him get dressed and pack a bag to go stay with his grandparents for the night. James had a small backpack in one hand and a set of pajamas in the other that he had been asking Harry if he wanted or if he would prefer others. He was bit confused at his son’s words.

“Harry, you love going to stay with granny and grandpa, what’s the matter?” James asked as he sat down on the bedroom floor. Harry came right over to him, and flung his arms around his neck. “I heard you say to uncle moony that you were taking papa to a special place because he had been good all week. Its not fair.” Harry’s explanation offered very little, except the challenge for James to not chuckle.

“What's not fair my love,” James asked.

Harry pulled back and looked down at his feet. “Wasn’t I good all week too?” he said, speaking to the floor.

James could have cried. “Harry look at me,” James instructed and Harry listened. “You have been excellent, you are such a good, smart, and savvy little kid. Daddy is so proud of you.” James began, and Harry smiled but then interrupted: “So I can come with you and Papa then?” His little eyebrows pumped on his forehead.

“Harry, where papa and I are going is only for grown ups,” James started and Harry groaned. “But-, hey, but, you will have so much fun with granny and grandpa, and then papa and I are going to pick you up tomorrow when we all go for lunch, okay?” James explained. “Okay,” Harry replied dejectedly.

“How’s it going in here?” Regulus asked, just popping his head in the room. He appraised the scene: Harry standing with a pout forming on his face and James sitting criss-cross on the floor trying to coax Harry into grabbing his stuffies from the bed. “Papa!” Harry said as Regulus came in the room, James gave him a look that was half apologetic and half defeat.

“How come your dad is doing all the packing hmm?” Regulus asked as he patted Harry on the head after he ran over to hug him, really only reaching around some of Regulus’ legs. “Well Papa, I just want to stay with you.” Harry continued his protest. Regulus picked him up. “Oh I see,” he began as he walked into the room and James stood up after he finished packing Harry’s things.

“Well I guess you can stay with us,” Regulus said, and James looked completely betrayed. “But we're just going to be spending the night sitting here telling each other how much we love each other,” Regulus said and then leaned over toward James making some kissy noises. “No no no okay I want to go to granny’s, just don’t kiss!” Harry said as he put both of his small hands on Regulus’ mouth to block him from kissing James.

“Alright, to the grandparents’ you go. Now do you want your lion or snake stuffy?” Regulus asked.

“Doggy!” Harry yelled in response as he nearly jumped out of Regulus’ arms to go and grab the shaggy black dog stuffed animal that he would one day learn looked a lot like Sirius.

James pulled Regulus into his side. “You gotta teach me how you do that,” James whispered to him and then kissed his cheek. Regulus smirked: “Sorry, but I was not letting our toddler ruin our one date night.”

He was dragged here by Barty and honestly didn't even want to be there, but a deal was a deal and he had to honor it, no matter how much he wanted to absolutely shove his foot so far up his-.

Y'know what, it wasn't even worth it.

The party was already in full swing, and Pandora had gotten her Gryffindor friends an invite so they were all huddled around one of the coffee tables in the Slytherin common room and an empty bottle in the middle.

The most shocking thing about it was that his brother deigned to step foot into the home of the snakes. It actually made him faulter in his steps for a second, before he remembered that they had recently decided to try and mend their relationship after Sirius fled their house to find refuge with the Potters.

Regulus could feel his hand being tugged again, so he refrained from rolling his eyes and sat down at the circle, acting as if he could truly not care any less about what he was doing there.

"Hey, Regulus, you made it!" Evan's voice was already higher pitched, something that happened when he tried to act like he wasn't affected by the alcohol. It was honestly pretty funny when he tried to pass it off to Horace. Really, with how much fucked up shit he gets to with Barty all of the time, you would think he could hold his liquor.

He saw Sirius stiffen, hesitating to continue the conversation he was having with his boyfriend, but Remus nudged him and shook him out of it.

"Hey guys. So, I'm told I am to drink something in order to participate?" He glanced over at Marlene and she had a smirk etched onto her face; this was clearly her idea. Well, she probably also had help from Barty and Evan let's be honest; they are a terrifying trio when they want to be.

Barty's voice sounded from his left, "Ah, yes, here it is, my dear. Drink up!"

Regulus eyed it, as the other's voice was far too gleeful for it to just be alcohol, although Regulus had a feeling on what it was.

He was proven right when he tasted absolutely nothing at all from the vial.

"You are such a cunt." The veritaserum wasn't even needed for that, but he appreciated the added proof behind his words.

Barty just continued to smirk (bitch) and cleared his throat, catching the attention of everyone else in the group. "Alright everybody, our last participant has arrived and has drunk truth, so let's get started!"

Ah, so that's what they were doing. Obvious, now that he knew of the serum, but... damn. He had a feeling this would put a stopper in his and Sirius' developing bond again.

Turns went by, some embarrassing stories told and some secrets revealed. It was when it was Barty's turn that things started to get... off-track.

"This one is a little special, as I have a feeling this one will be fun. As such, there will be rules applied to this particular round: if you have done this multiple times, you have to drink for each one!"

Regulus did not like the sound of his friend's laugh, not did he like the way that he was staring directly at him. This was when he got a twisting feeling in his gut.

Barty's grin continued to widen, looking over at Evan who was giving the same reaction. "Never have I ever kissed someone, other than my partner, who is here in this group."

There was silence for a few seconds, before Marlene took her shot, which led to a domino effect of people taking theirs. The one that really got people curious, sadly, was Remus.

Evan, being the absolute git that he is, decided to be openly annoying about it. "Oh? Remus, was this before or after you and Sirius started dating?" Regulus could practically feel how amused he was at the situation.

Remus took a casual look around the room before giving a shrug, "before we got together. He was actually my first kiss."

Regulus tried not to look, but Barty's smile was getting wider and wider.

"Oh, is that so? Reg, what about you? You've been dating Jamie over here for almost a year, isn't that right?"

Regulus just rolled his eyes and gave a scoff. "Same as him."

How ironic.

"What a coincidence, don't you think?" Mary's voice was gleeful, and it looked as if she had a manic glint in her eye.

Regulus gave a hum in response.

Sirius was looking between them, brows furrowed with confusion before his eyes widened and he gave dramatic gasp, jumping up to his feet. "Remus! My dearly beloved, how could you do this to me?! What does my brother have that I don't?!"

Remus dignified him with a smirk and a shrug of his shoulders, seeming to enjoy the response he got.

Regulus noticed James coming over to him, and gave a smile.

"Hi Reggie," his voice was quiet and his eyes were soft.

Giving a quiet laugh, he rested his body against his boyfriend's, reveling in his close presence and the comfort he gave.

Watching as his brother and Remus bantered, James leaned his head down, "are we just going to ignore how Pandora literally downed four shots while Barty was interrogating you two?"

"Absolutely. Just let the others figure it out, it'll be amusing to watch them try and figure it out, no matter how obvious."

"We are talking about Sirius, right?"

"Of course, my love. I'm still surprised that Sirius didn't realize about mine and Remus'. You both were literally there."

"He was busy trying to flirt with Madame Rosmerta, my star."

"Ah, yes, that makes more sense."

All in all, not as bad of an outing as he thought it was going to be, so he guessed he could let the veritaserum slide.

He still would've liked to have known about it beforehand, though.

But, for now, Regulus would just lay against his sun, and bask in the warmth that was his friends and family, enjoying their laughter and light-hearted arguments as he closed his eyes and got some well-needed rest.

He could put off studying for his N.E.W.T.S. for one day. Besides, in Sirius' words, they still had an entire week before it would really become a "necessity".

Enemies to lovers AND only one bed? Babe, you're speaking my favorite language here. Tell me more.

well hello there, snitchy snitch!!

Okay, picture this. Sapphic enemies to lovers. Wedding trope. Our MCs are the sister of the groom and sister of the bride. They have disliked each other from the moment they met, back when their siblings first started dating. One is "Miss Priss," the other is "Surly Girlie." Our story takes place at the bachelorette party, a weekend away at the beach. Both our MCs arrive late (so they are grumpy AF already) to find they have to share the only room left. and there's only one bed.

NOW. IS THIS NOT THE PERFECT PANSMIONE. Harry and Draco are getting married. Hermione and Pansy never mended things after the war; they still despise (read: are obsessed with) one another. Now, they've had to work together (ew) to plan this stupid joint bachelor trip for the whole crew. To top it all off, Pansy's portkey got cancelled last minute, and Hermione got caught up in a work emergency at the ministry (at least what I was doing was important, parkinson; sorry if I don't feel bad your fancy first-class portkey got bumped). They spend the first night in their shared bedroom bitching each other out and sleeping as far away from each other as they can get, rolled over to each side and huffing in exasperation.

Honestly this works great for any HP ship pairing. Jily having to work together to plan Wolfstar's bachelor trip. Wolfstar exes-to-lovers planning Jily or Jegulus' trip. Drarry planning Ginsy's. You get the idea.

Below the cut for more stream-of-consciousness fic, incl NSFW art from @upthehillart :D

@hpsaffics you're getting a tag here too :)))

After much description of hot girls in bathing suits (hermione's ass) (pansy's legs) and both of them just absolutely losing their minds over each others' bodies, with lots of sniping back and forth to cover up how embarrassingly into each other they are, they end up last ones at the muggle bar the second night, too tipsy to try apparating. Fuck it, granger, dance with me. Oh boy, do they DANCE. It's so fucking hot, they can't get enough of each other, the feel of their bodies close, their flesh beneath each others' hands, that LOOK in pansy's eyes that says I'm going to eat you alive and you're going to say thank you. But just before something drastic happens, like hermione putting her lips to pansy's neck like she's been wanting to for honestly a very long time, longer than she cares to admit, Harry bursts onto the dancefloor "there you are!!! we've been looking everywhere for you get in the uber right now!"

The spell is broken, and, faces beet red, they let harry drag them back to the air bnb. they take turns showering, being sure to change into pj's in the bathroom (Pansy in a giant band tee shirt and booty shorts, Hermione in a lace pink matching set). Hermione is tying her hair up in a specially-charmed silk scarf and going over some notes from work that got delivered by owl while they were out, and pansy thinks she's the loveliest thing she's ever seen. Pansy's caught staring. "what?" "nothing, granger." there's a pause, like maybe they each want to say more, but instead, pansy just turns out her light with her wand. "night, granger," she whispers.

There in the dark, they both lay on their backs, listening to each other breathe. they end up having a tension-filled, intense exchange where they are truly vulnerable with each other for the first time. apologies are given and accepted in the softest whispers. tentatively, pansy reaches out a hand beneath the covers, drags the back of her fingers gently over the soft skin of hermione's arm. "i really am. sorry. i never meant any of it. you." deep breath. "you're the most incredible girl I've ever met. I've always thought so."

and then--

Hermione moves with that intense decisiveness of hers. She rolls over, straddles pansy, grips her face and kisses her long and deep. Pansy opens her mouth to her instantly, and a stupid little moan escapes and it's the most pathetic sound she's ever made but she will make it again and again if it's hermione who pulls it from her. "Want you," Hermione whispers into pansy's neck, finally latching on and sucking, biting, coaxing blooming bruises of violet and and blue to her pale skin. She shoves her hands up underneath pansy's tee shirt, not an ounce of hesitation, grips her tits hard. kneads them, dances fingers over her nipples, seeing which touches elicit the most gasps from the beauty beneath her. pansy is arching and writhing with pleasure, and hermione grins into her mouth, wicked and brutal. The witch who kept a woman in a jar for months for slandering her friends, the witch who destroyed horcruxes and single-handedly kept two boys alive for the better part of seven years, the 20-something witch ruthlessly bulldozing over all the old white bureaucratic wizards at the ministry, is now the witch taking pansy apart inch by inch and fuck if pansy isn't thrilled to be broken by those powerful hands, sucked dry by plush lips, devoured by sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight as they sink into her skin over and over.

But Pansy has a few tricks up her own sleeve. She grips hermione with strong thighs and rolls them over, "Can I take off your scarf?" she breathes it her ear. "wanna pull your hair while i suck on your tits." Hermione whimpers and pulls her scarf off and pansy gathers those fucking curls into her fist and pulls, careful of course not to damage the curl pattern. Pansy licks a long stripe up her now-bared neck and over her ear, then whispers, "pull your top down. let me see." Hermione obeys, of course she obeys, pansy is commanding and relentless and if pansy wants to look hermione will let her. she fingers a strap of her camisole down off one shoulder, skims her fingertips over the top of her breast, just over the nipple still hidden beneath the fabric. Pansy's mouth is dry and her cunt throbs as she anticipates finally getting a glimpse of her nipple, already hard and poking through the silk and lace. "all the way," pansy murmurs. "take it out. show it to me." hermione whines and squirms and finally digs her hand all the way in and pulls out her breast, so fucking full and delicious with large brown nipples that beg to be kissed, so of course pansy does. Pansy looses her patience and pulls the camisole all the way down, exposing both breasts to her gaze and her wandering hands. she dives in, laving attention all across hermione's warm skin, nipping and licking and sucking and groping. her hips have started grinding down against hermione's pelvis, and hermione is arching up to meet her. "wanna make you come," pansy growls between hermione's tits. "how do you like it?" hermione stills, and pansy looks up. "um," hermione bites her lip. pansy kisses it out from behind her teeth. "yes, baby? what do you want? let me give it to you." Hermione take a deep breath. "i thought i was going to have my own room. i may have brought a few... toys." "oh, like what?" Hermione rolls over, digs around her her bag by the bed, and shyly pulls out an ENTIRE FUCKING STRAP. The magic kind that connects sensations from the strap to the wearer's clit. "I was hoping i might get lucky, going out and everything this weekend." Pansy's speechless. "Would you, um, let me fuck you with it?" hermione asks, big brown eyes wide and hopeful.

Cut to, pansy on all fours, legs kicked wide, ass up, facing the mirror by the bed, watching hermione completely naked and fucking her with her cock, her curves bouncing and slapping with every thrust, the sounds wet and loud and crude, mixing with Pansy's gasps over and over and over. Pansy's tee is shoved up by hermione's demanding hand; she's gripping the skin of her shoulder, her other fist burying in Pansy's hip and pulling her back onto her dick even as she fucks into her, hard and deep and fast. Hermione is strong and her grip bruises and Pansy couldn't move if she wanted to. "M close," Hermione murmurs. "yes, yes, yes," pansy chants in reply, all other words fucked right out of her brain. "touch yourself for me, baby, wanna watch you come first." but when pansy collapses down to one shoulder so she can use her other hand to rub her clit, she gasps in shock. Hermione has wordlessly and wandlessly charmed her fingers to vibrate. pansy shouts when her charmed fingers makes contact with her aching clit, swollen and needy from what feels like a lifetime of getting handled by hermione fucking granger. just a few passes through her folds and over her clit has Pansy shaking and coming with a muffled scream, Hermione following right behind her, the force of her orgasm plunging her cock even harder into pansy's pulsing cunt. it kicks off a second orgasm for pansy, back to back, and she screams and screams until hermione finally pulls out and gather pansy into her arms, shushing her and smoothing her hair.

They clean each other up take turns in the bathroom, and fall asleep in each other's arms.

maybe this wedding won't be so bad after all.

ps: below is my headcanon depiction of pansmione from a fic i cannot recommend enough . Art and fic both by @upthehillart

10/9 Pottery Word Count: 376

@jegulus-microfic

Before James and Regulus started dating James would bring Regulus little pieces of pottery that he had hand crafted in an attempt to woo him.

It started slowly. A small dish here and a cat sculpture there. But Regulus continued to accept them, James continued to make and gift them. By the time they had started dating Regulus had a shelf full of the trinkets. He wasn’t complaining though.

After they got together James began to give them just cause but also as anniversary gifts. Larger things like plates and mugs.

One day during one of their late night pillow talks Regulus asked James why he made so many different pieces of pottery if only to gift it to Regulus.

It took James a minute to respond but when he did he had said…

“I honestly don’t really know. I started making them in 6th year. I needed an outlet, something to do with my hands. To release all of my pent of energy. During that time I developed a massive crush on you, as I’m sure you are well aware. I guess I just wanted to give them to you. I have so much love to share and I’m not always the greatest with words so I chose to give things to you instead. As a way to show my love, express every ounce of love that I could, ya know?”

This answer had taken Regulus’ breath away. It was one of the most meaningful things someone had ever said to him. And it made the little trinkets James had gifted to him even more special. Something he didn’t know was humanly possible until then.

When James proposed he did so with a little ceramic box he had made to hold the ring.

And since then James had given Regulus a piece of pottery he had made on every one of their wedding anniversaries. He has yet to break this cycle.

This year it’s their 25th wedding anniversary and they’re 48 and 49 years old respectively.

Every year James’ anniversary pottery project gets more and more elaborate.

This year James gifts Regulus a vase. Intricately hand painted with stars and suns. Already holding a bouquet of pink roses. Regulus couldn’t ask for anything more perfect.

Hey so not entirely sure I'm doing this right but I'm going to try! Heheheh :)

Ok so could you do the 'bright as sun' on your headcannon post and use either the romantic or platonic relationship, whichever works better, maybe even both?

Idk where to start cuz it's hard to sum people up in a few words (especially myself hehe) and that's cuz humans are really complex and awesome :D

I really love plants and nature, I would spend all of my time outdoors building tree forts and observing moss (as long as it's warm enough outside) and I just generally enjoy plants and mushrooms and really anything green/nature-y.

I'm very sensitive to emotions so I feel them extra strong and have really high empathy (which has it's positives and negatives). I try my best to be the kindest version of myself cuz there is so much horrible shit in this world. This kinda leads to me staying strong and acting positive to support the people in my life who need it even when i'm struggling (a lot rn actually 😭). The world can be such an amazing and magical place, and god I do my best to see the beauty in it and give out beauty back.

I have a weird relationship with food but I absolutely love breakfast. I have a fucking huge earring collection (like 100 pairs and they are all like dangling goofy lil things). I have two ways to dress and it's either a casual outfit that's sweatpants and a sweatshirt or I'm wearing a flowy dress. Also my room have like every piece of wall covered with something either stickers, quotes, poster, picture, drawings, lights, and I love it cuz visual clutter is really cool. Also my favorite feeling is being wrapped up in blankets on my bed (possibly cuddling someone) scrolling through tumblr with nothing else I need to be doing.

Umh the character I relate to the most is James (I actually kinda look like him cuz of my hair and glasses) and my favorite ship rn is jegulus & marylily cuz of all those rich dynamics :D

Anyway! Thank you for taking your time to read this! You seem pretty cool so im following you now heheheh. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day/night :))

Hey :)

After reading your ask, I decided to do both platonic and romantic relation ship.

Platonic relationship - I think you would be bestie with Remus and Lily. Of course, you would be friends with other marauders, but these two would be your closest friends. You first time became really close, when you joined them in study group, 'cause you had some problems with writing homework (or you just wanted to study with them). Your friendship is based on doing little things for each other. Lily would come with you outdoor to just spend time with you. I really like that part when you wrote you love breakfast - I think this is thing you and Remus have in common. Like you chat together about food and all this stuff. I think you would have really beautiful relationship with them.

Romantic relationship - for some reason I see you with Pandora. She always had the ability to find person who is special. You weren't really friends before, like you talked once or you said hi to each other, but first time you really started talking was when she saw you in corridor helping some first year student. She always knew you are kind, but when she saw you there, she felt something telling her that you are really good person. She walked to you and started talking to you and offered to walk you to your class. Later she started talking to you everyday and always walked you to your class. After month spending time together, she asked you on date. You went to Hogsmeade. You had really good time and you started dating. I think your relationship is based on spending time together and doing things together. Like she always watch you building tree forts or she helps you with it. Also, you two spend time with your friends and everybody thinks you are such a cute couple!

I really hope you like this! <3

Have a nice day xxx

[dorlilymylovesss]

Juts saw this post and again will double it my post

I want to speak out on a topic that has been really bothering and stressing me out. For several months now, I and my friends who don't even ship jegulus, but are just Regulus fans have been harassed by Jily shippers. And not just with hateful words, but with specific accusations of fascism.

I want to start by saying that fandoms are a place where people can express their creativity and interpret characters as they like. Fanfics, art, and shippings are forms of self-expression, and they don't have to conform to canon. It allows us to look at characters from different angles, develop alternative plots, and create something new. And I don't judge or persecute people for their favorite characters and ships.

I'm a huge Regulus fan even before the Jegulus ship came along. Regulus Black is a character I have a deep interest in for many reasons. Despite his limited appearance in the Harry Potter books, his story and character leave room for a lot of interpretation and thought. And I don't like it when people describe him as a regular Death Eater.

First, Jily fans often argue their dislike by saying that their ship is canonical( of course this is true and no one denies it) and James would never date a death eater. However, it should be remembered that fan art and shippings are inherently activities for the self and the soul. Even if a couple doesn't conform to "official" canon and never even met, it doesn't diminish the right of fans to create their own stories and interpretations.

Second Jegulus shippers are called misogynists.

But they may simply see these characters as interesting dynamics that catch their attention or interesting tropes that can be created. Choosing this ship doesn't necessarily mean they are intentionally excluding female characters and being negative towards them. Yes there are people among jegulus shippers who dislike Lily and exclude her from the story, but they are a minority. Plenty of jegulus shippers love Lily and also ship jily.

The charge of misogyny implies a conscious and systematic disregard for women or female characters. However, in most cases, Jegulus shippers simply enjoy a particular story or interaction between two male characters. This does not preclude an interest in or respect for female characters. Many shippers actively create and support content featuring female characters in other contexts or ships.

There is always a diversity of interests and preferences in fan circles. Not everyone likes the same characters or couples, and that's fine. However, to infer misogyny just based on someone's preference for a certain male couple without considering the overall context of a person's interests is wrong and unfair. Plus, I've seen thousands of Jily fans who were blatantly homophobic towards the marlily and pandalily enjoyers, and called James her only love, and erase her identity, leaving only her relationship with James.

Third, why calling the death eaters fascists is wrong and insulting to the actual victims of the tragedy.

Fascism as a political ideology and movement had specific historical roots and consequences, including brutal repression, genocide, and war. Death Eaters are fictional characters created by transphobic Rowling for a work of fiction, and their actions and motivations are part of a fictional universe.

Using historical examples of real-life suffering and tragedies to compare to fictional characters is disrespectful to those affected by real-life events. Historical tragedies such as the Holocaust require special respect and careful handling. And many Jewish content makers have already spoken out about it.

The kind of hate I've encountered as a Regulus fan is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. That being said, I've always loved jily, but after the hate, stupid accusations I've cooled off to them. You can't treat living people like that because of fictional characters. A lot of people don't care about canon written by a creepy transphobic woman, can you imagine?

Instead of wasting time on conflict and hate I suggest you create content on your favorite ships and leave other people alone. You have no idea how your hating can affect a person.

Not all shippers have the intention to demean or exclude other characters. Many of us simply love a particular dynamic and choose to explore it in our writing. This should not be taken as a threat or insult to other fans.

I love jegulus and jily, but my fav ship is dorlily and it saddens me that fans of the same fandom hate each other so much.

Not all shippers have the intent to demean or exclude other characters. Many of us simply love a particular dynamic and choose to explore it in our writing. This should not be taken as a threat or insult to other fans.

Leave other people alone. If u can't create content for your favorite ship and only can hate others its your f..king problem, it's unhealthy and childish.

I'm deeply sorry for jegulus artists and writers who got hate here and even death treats. I hope you will continue creating something that makes you happy.

OP was talking about literal hate, you can just politely ask "hey pls don't tag jily in this post, because...and your point" not harass real people and sending death treats to them. I saw plenty jily tags when trying to find dorlily content it's not a big deal , u can literally filter a tag lol

You can like ships without hating on other ships. Like ffs the jegulus hate is so mind boggling. What the fuck? God if you don't like it DON'T COMMENT ON IT MAYBE? Why is the hate necessary.

Jegulus is as beautiful as Jily. Both are really good ships. Most good jegulus ships don't hate on Lily. We all love Lily ok?

I am a multishipper; I ship jegulus, jily and when I can't decide which one I like more I go with jegulily. It's just very fucking weird to hate on something that brings people joy.

Go get a life.

Reminder: hating does not make you cool.

Marauders Squid Game au

Okay, so I keep seeing on twt and tiktok the idea for a marauders squid game au. And I really wanna write it.

I wrote a small snippet of how I might start it and I would love your opinions! I need to figure out a few other things before I write more but I also wanted to ask for opinions!!

Jegulus?

Should I write in the side plot of the police man infiltrating the games and finding out who the front man is? If so, ideas for who these people could be!!!

For the games, should I stick with the same games in the show, or find ones that are more common in the UK/europe?

I know it will be awful, but I want to put all our favorite characters in the game. :) here is my little snippet for anyone who wants to read it! feel free to suggest anything and let me know how it is!

~~~~~

There was a time when James thought he had everything. A wife and child, his best friend Peter, and a good job to help support his mom.

There was a time when all this was true.

But then it all came crumbling down. He lost his job after a miscommunication on his boss’s part, his wife, Lily, divorced him because she realized she wanted a better life and then she came out as a lesbian. She took their kid, Harry, in the divorce too. Which was about the worst part of all this. Then, to top it all off, Peter took a job in the US and moved away. James wished he could visit him, but he had to pay for groceries for him and his mom, had to pay child support, and was still trying to find a job.

James was trying, really. But the only way for him to earn cash without a job was to answer freelance ads in the paper or to babysit. That was barely getting him enough for a day’s worth of food, let alone to pay for Harry to get new clothes for school.

So, when he was waiting for the next train home after another failed job interview and a well-dressed man came up to him offering money if he won a child’s game, he went with it. What did he have to lose?

The man had a briefcase with two paper tiles, one red and one blue, and a load of cash in it. All James had to do was hit the man’s blue paper tile with his red one and get the blue one to flip over. If the mysterious man won, James had to give up 50 pounds. But on the other hand, if James won, he earned that money.

After the second time he lost, James had to admit he didn’t have another 50 pounds. But the man simply smiled and said he would slap him for every 50 pounds he didn’t have.

That’s how James ended being slapped too many times to count and when he finally won, he thought he could cry or even better, slap the man back. But the man handed him the money and a strange business card with shapes on it, where he said he would be able to play more games to win a cash prize.

-

It had been a few days since this strange meeting, and James wasn’t sure whether to call the number on the back of the card or not. But when he got home that day, his mother had collapsed on the ground and had to be taken to the emergency room.

The doctors said she had stage 4 breast cancer and would need specialized treatment if she wanted to live. But it was so expensive. His mom insisted she would be fine, but when James had left the hospital to take a shower and sleep before coming back, he called the number.

“Hello? I got your business card a few days ago.”

A muffled voice came out of the phone speaker.

“Do you wish to participate in the game? If you wish to participate, please state your name and birthdate.”

He hesitated. This seemed sketchy, but he really needed the money.

“James Potter. Birth date is March 27, 2000.”

Can I ask about I didn't ask for small talk? ☺️

This wip game

So I didn't ask for small talk is one of the two long fics I've already started posting and the only wolfstar wip I have.

The basis is that Sirius starts questioning their gender, and so texts a random number, whcih happens to be Remus, a trans guy and also accidentally James's neighbour.

This is currently on hiatus because I wanted to include special prose only chapters that show what was going on with Jegulus, every time there was a major development in the main plot

It didn't work, the first Jegulus chapter was hell to work on, so I had to say hold on pause to understand what was happening with the fic.

But this means I have those scenes ready for a snippet, if they ever do become part of the actual fic.

Here's the snippet:

(context James is recovering from an eating disorder)

James was trying to be late to French class. It was always after lunch, which didn't help. In September they used to alert his parents when he didn’t show up promptly, but nowadays they seemed to be more chill and he could go back to his subtle rebellion against school governor Druella Black and her suggestion everyone learn her mother language.

He never took advantage of the forgotten surveillance, by the way.

Someone grabbed his arm. He turned to face them.

«Hi?»

Regulus's face was the same as it was during assembly every day, and James assumed it would be the same while watching a nice play, or if informed of a family death.

«Are you any good at maths?»

Of all the things he could be saying that was not something James would have expected. He clicked his tongue and broke into a grin.

«Predicted 9, why?»

«Predicted 4»

He must be joking. What part of maths could Regulus Black struggle with? This badly on top of that.

«If you want to know about your brother you can simply ask. No need for this little dance.»

Regulus swallowed and finally let go of James's wrist.

«What does he need Friday for?»

There it was the myth of Regulus Black, restored.

«A date.»

« No, he looked... desperate»

«It's been a while since he's been on one,» James joked. «But genuinely if it didn’t happen it would have been the last.»

«That's not ni– a real sentence.»

James catched Regulus's slip up, and responded to that instead. «No, it's not. But it's more complicated than that, you know? Sirius is who he is, bless him.»

Regulus took a deep breath. «Thanks for telling me this.»

«You deserve to be kept in the loop about him.»

James smiled at him and went to leave. Now he was actually late, what if the it teacher realised he was nowhere to be found right after lunch? He didn't want anyone on the team knowing, but would Regulus corroborate his story if he didn't tell him why the teachers worried?

Regulus cleared his throat and James's mind cleared for a moment.

«I don't lie. I never do it»

It took a while for James to understand what he was referring to. He actually was failing maths.

[supitssummer]

How Jegulus (and Jily) started:

It started off in the summer between the Marauders 5th and 6th year

[Reminder this was when Sirius ran away to the Potter's]

So it all started when Regulus owled James (he knew Sirius would be there) about his brothers well-being because he knew Sirius wouldn't have answered, then they started owling more and started a friendship which eventually turned into a crush on both ends.

Once they get back to Hogwarts they start hanging out more and (secretly) going to Hogsmeade that turns into dates and eventually a relationship which last until the summer that year when Regulus owls James about Orion and Walburga having him get the dark mark and having a mutual understanding that for each of their safety they need to stop seeing each other

Then Jily happens in 7th year after james gets over Regulus and Lily develops a crush on James and although James loved Lily, Regulus would always hold a special place in his heart as his first (requited love) and he still has feelings for him.

Lily knows about the relationship, because James told her about it when SHE asked him to Hogsmeade (fight me) after they got back from the date, he said it was because before he started something new he felt she should know he had some hard-to-cut strings in his past.

[remywrites5]

15. Jegulus?

           James had only come to the stupid party in order to try and chat up Evans and she hadn’t even had the decency to show up. James had heard from Peter that Lily had gone to a party with Marlene Mckinnon instead. It was probably for the best. It had been years and Evans still wanted nothing to do with him. James was stubborn but he wasn’t stupid. Maybe it was time to throw in the towel where Lily was concerned.

           Besides, James had been so preoccupied with Lily that he’d barely gotten off with anyone throughout Uni and that just seemed a damn shame. That was what university was for after all and it wouldn’t do to keep a stud like himself off the market.

           James was scoping around the party for someone new to chat up when a hand rested against the nape of his neck and he was pulled into a kiss. He hadn’t expected things to work so fast! After all, he’d just decided to try and have it off with someone.

           “Hi babe, sorry I’m la-“ the guy who had kissed him began before stopping in horror. James blinked his eyes open, not even realizing they had closed during the kiss. “James?”

           James smiled. “Oh hey, Reg,” he said, shoving his hands into his pockets. “When did we start calling each other babe? Not that I mind.”

           Regulus looked slightly mortified. As Sirius’ younger brother, James and Regulus had met a bunch of times over the years. Regulus was always awkward around James and a bit standoffish. James never knew if that was just how Reg was or if deep down he didn’t really like James all that much. But James Potter was not one to be dissuaded by someone not liking him – as evidenced by his years of chasing after Lily Evans - who couldn’t care less if he fell into a ditch and stayed there.

           “I-I thought you were Benjy,” Regulus said, a blush forming from his cheeks down to his neck. James tried and failed not to find it adorable. “He told me he’d be dressed like Jon Snow. I saw your cape and I just assumed.”

           James raised an eyebrow. “You and Benjy, huh?”

           Regulus shrugged. “He’s nice.”

           “Nice?” James echoed with a chuckle. “Don’t go setting the bar too high there, Reg.”

           Regulus scowled at him. “Sorry I kissed you. Enjoy the party.”

           James, who was bored and enjoyed teasing Reg, made up his mind to follow him. He linked his arm through Reg’s, laughing at Reg sputtered at him indignantly. “So babe, I’m thinking of a June wedding.”

           Regulus scoffed. “God Potter, are you always this obnoxious or am I just special?”

           James grinned mischievously. “Do you want to be special?” he whispered in Reg’s ear.

           Regulus pulled back and shoved James away. “Y-you’re such a wanker.”

           James stood in the middle of the party a little bit dumbfounded. He had just been teasing. He didn’t think Regulus would take it so hard. He watched Reg’s retreating back, wondering just what he’d done to make him so angry. It couldn’t be about Sirius, could it? It wasn’t exactly his fault that he and Sirius had come best mates. Whatever it was, James had to fix it, because he couldn’t go his life having his best friend’s brother hate him.

           He followed after Regulus, running into Benjy on the way. “Oi James, same costume!” he said, grinning broadly. Regulus was right, Benjy was nice.  James had no idea why he suddenly despised Benjy down to his very core. “Have you see Regulus? He’s supposed to meet me here.”

           “Nope, haven’t seen him,” James lied before heading in the direction Regulus had disappeared to. He found the kitchen window open that led out to the fire escape. He didn’t see anything down below so he started the climb upwards. When he got to the roof, Regulus was sitting on the ledge with his feet dangling over, looking up at the stars. James sat down next to him facing the opposite direction. “I know I can be a prat sometimes.”

           “Sometimes?” Regulus huffed out a laugh, raising an eyebrow at James knowingly.

           James chuckles and ran his fingers through his unkempt hair. “Okay, fine, a lot of the time. But I’m really not so bad.”

           Regulus turned his face towards James and looked at him for a long time as if trying to find out if he was sincere. “Is this the kind of stuff you say to Evans to convince her to date you?” he teased, taking off James’ glasses and cleaning a smudge off them before placing them back on James’ face. “If so, I can see why she hasn’t gone for it yet.”

           “Oi,” James said, playfully punching Regulus softly on the arm. “I can be downright charming when I want to be.”

           “Oh I know,” Regulus said quietly, tilting his face back up towards the sky. You couldn’t really see the stars from the city but it seemed like Reg was trying all the same.

           James wasn’t really sure how to respond to that. He glanced down at his hands and hated the way his heart was racing just a little bit faster. “I like your costume,” he said dumbly, placing a hand on Reg’s thigh. Reg was dressed like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, but the Disney original version, not the shitty Tim Burton one. “Why didn’t you and Benjy dress to match? “

           Regulus rolled his eyes. “Because I abhor couples costumes and they’re incredibly lame?” he informed James haughtily.

           “Couples costumes are awesome as long as you do them with the right person!”

           Regulus glanced down to where James’ hand was still resting on his thigh. “Besides, Benjy and I aren’t even really a couple. This was only our second date.”

           James smirked. “So you just throw out babe willy-nilly?” he asked, mocking offense by clutching his chest with his spare hand, not wanting to remove his other one from the warmth of Regulus’ thigh. It was an experiment to see how long Reg would tolerate James touching him.”Babe is sacred!”

           “I don’t want to be with Benjy,” Reg admitted quietly, placing his hand on top of James’. “But the person I want is into someone else and even if he wasn’t he wouldn’t be into me.”

           James licked his lips, his mouth having suddenly gone dry. “What makes you so sure?”

           Regulus managed to meet James’ gaze. “Because he just thinks of me as his best friend’s kid brother,” he said with a heavy sigh. “And he’s never noticed the giant crush I’ve had on him for years.”

           James swallowed thickly. “He sounds like an idiot,” he managed to joke, turning his hand over so he could lace his fingers through Reg’s.

           Reg shook his head. “He’s actually quite clever. I think maybe he just didn’t want to see it.”

           James reached out with his free hand and cupped Reg’s cheek. “If he’d seen it he would have done something about it,” he told Regulus resolutely. He left his thumb caress Reg’s cheek, dragging over the soft stubble there. “And their first kiss wouldn’t have been an accident.”

           James slid his hand back to Reg’s nape and tugged him forward until their lips met. James kept the kiss gentle and unhurried, giving Regulus a chance to pull away if he wanted. He was surprised when Reg’s tongue slipped into his mouth and deepened the kiss. He hummed approvingly and scooted closer, sliding his fingers up into Reg’s short black hair, and taking control of the kiss.

           Regulus moaned, a deep guttural sound that made James double his efforts. Regulus pulled back and James involuntarily whined in protest. Reg chuckled and pressed their foreheads together. “Just wait a moment,” he said softly.

           “Nope, no more waiting,” James said, noticing that his glasses had fogged up from the incredible snog.

           “Before things go any further I should probably go break things off with Benjy,” Regulus reasoned, cupping James’ face in his hands. “After all, he is very nice.”

           James scoffed. “Nice is boring,” he growled, kissing Reg again.

           Regulus laughed into the kiss and broke away again. “Nice is nice,” he said, sliding off the ledge and dropping down onto the roof. “But who wants nice when they can have James Potter?”

           James dropped down on the roof next to Reg and pulled him close, capturing his lips yet again. Now that they’d started he couldn’t seem to stop. Reg tasted so good and his lips were soft. He wrapped his cloak around the two of them for warmth and also to trap Reg close to him. Regulus, of course, saw through it immediately and snorted in amusement.

           “Don’t go,” James whispered between kisses. Christ, it had been too long since he’d had a proper snog.

           Reg tilted his head back to break the kiss and James took the opportunity to kiss the long column of his throat. Regulus sighed happily and dug his fingers into James’ biceps. “James,” he groaned in a mix of exasperation and arousal. “I’m not a cheat.”

           “You said it had only been two dates,” James reminded him, licking along Reg’s collarbone. “You can’t already have talked about being exclusive.”

           “Fuck, you’re a terrible influence,” Reg said, shivering in James’ arms with want. “S-still, I came to the party to meet Benjy. I owe him an explanation.”

           “Fine,” James said, stepping away and releasing Reg. He took in Reg’s appearance, his pink cheeks and his kiss-swollen lips. He looked practically depraved and James couldn’t wait to finish him handiwork. “To be continued?”

           Regulus smiled and held out his hand to James. “I’m only telling Benjy so I can shag you tonight with a clear conscience.”

           James bit his bottom lip to hold back a moan. “Little Regulus Black. Who knew you were so wicked?”

           Regulus pulled James forward by their entwined hands and kissed him fiercely. He didn’t stop until James was breathless, his toes curling inside his shoes, and his mouth wanting nothing more than to stay permanently attached to Reg. He looked up at James through lower lashes and he looked so god damn sexy that James wondered how he had never noticed it before. Regulus grinned. “I didn’t spend the last three years fantasizing about you just to have a nice, quiet evening at home.”

           “Mmm,” James hummed, kissing Regulus again. “Nice is boring. Oh, and next year? We’re doing couples costumes.”

           Regulus rolled his eyes and started down the fire escape. “Over my cold, dead body, Potter.”

           “We’re doing it!” James said, following after him gleefully. “I’ve an entire year to wear you down.”

           Regulus turned on the fire escape and pushed himself up to meet James’ lips. A few pedestrians on the sidewalk that could see them were cheering and hollering. Regulus broke the kiss first and grinned. “Never gonna happen.”      

           James matched his grin – already oh so up to the challenge that was Regulus Black. “We’ll see about that.”

Yet his desire for acceptance leads to unpredicted circumstances that call for him to open his home and his heart for his own protection. Teddy Lupin lost his job two years ago, leading him down a path with no direction. Left with scars and trauma, all he truly wants is his old job back. The last thing he expected was for the richest man in London to offer him a job protecting his oldest son. Less expected than that, was how charming and irresistible he was.

Summary: October of 1981 came and went, Halloween night left James Potter with lasting mental and physical scars, his wife lost to him and his son marked by a madman who had the audacity to disappear before James could get his revenge. He'd lost so much in so short a time: his loving parents, his beloved wife, his long time friend; a betrayal that stung more than the curse to his chest ever could. He struggled to live, he regretted every breath, only living because he had to, because he had Harry to look after, but he ached in ways that shouldn't ever be endured by any human. James thought for sure everything was lost, even the things he still had seemed too far away and easy to lose. He doubted anything in the world could make it less painful. Until a chance miracle is brought to light, a former infatuation rekindled into burning flames, and the Gryffindor bravery James thought was long lost roars back to life inside of him. He'd lost so much, but if he could help it, he would not lose this. Not again.
