“Promise me you’re not going to do anything like this again.”

He doesn’t give a reply.

“Regulus, promise me. Please.”

Regulus pulls his arm sharply out of James’ grip, staring up at him defiantly. “It’s none of your business what I do with my life. Not anymore.”

“It is when you’re trying to fucking drown yourself,” James snaps. “You can’t do that.”

“I could have, if you hadn’t dragged me out of the lake again,” Regulus mutters.

James huffs, his eyes burning with fury and pain and desperation. “This isn’t funny.”

Regulus can’t argue there.

He doesn’t get it, why would James care now? It’s not like he’s cared about him at any point during the past two months. It’s not like anyone has.

James’ expression softens ever so slightly. His voice is quiet when he speaks, the anger gone, now breaking from something else. “I need you to tell me when it gets bad again.”

“Why?”

“Because I care about you.”

“Why?” Regulus repeats.

James frowns. He doesn’t know the answer either. Regulus doubts he even knows if what he’s said is true at all. “Just, please. When it gets this bad... Tell me.”

Regulus fights with himself, tries his best to stay afloat, but he never knew how to deny James anything when he looks at him like this, eyes huge and glassy with the first idea of tears. So he grinds his teeth and nods.

“Do you promise?”

Another nod.

“You swear it?”

“Under the Unbreakable Vow, if you want,” Regulus says.

And James’ face splits with relief and desperation sets in as he extends his arm towards Regulus, a silent plea to stay true to his word. It’s the first time in months they really touch when Regulus accepts his hand, and when James pulls his wand and speaks the incantation, it’s the warmest Regulus has felt in months, too.

When the magic wraps around their joined hands Regulus knows this is the closest their souls will ever be intertwined again.

Regulus still dreams of drowning. He dreams of the gentle sway of the ocean pulling him in, the soft sounds of waves against his skin, closing in above his head, lulling him in and drawing him down. A lullaby just for him, the gentle rocking back and forth before his eyes close a final time.

Regulus dreams of drowning under the sun.

At night, under the stars, he dreams of different things. He dreams of hands extending out to him, magic tying souls together, lips on his lips, hands in tousled hair.

He dreams of living only when he closes his eyes.

Regulus wonders if he should feel guilty about it. Should feel guilty about using James’ naivety against him, his need to help and his blinded desperation. He supposes he should. If it wasn’t James who had promised him a forever, no matter what, only to take his words back when Regulus followed the path he was always destined to go.

He supposes it doesn’t matter in the end.

James broke his promise. It is only fair that Regulus breaks his too.

The right thing to do, James had said. The only right choice.

This, too, is the right choice. The only right thing to do.

When the hands take hold of him and pull him closer, holding onto him cold and wet in places where once the sun had held him, Regulus doesn’t know if it is the water embedded in his lungs or the vow tied around his soul that claims his final breath.

See when i say Percy and Regulus are similar i mean that in a

Just enough way

that if Percy and Sirius interacted Sirius would see Regulus in Percy and become a little obsessed with him in an unhealthy way because the man's not mentally stable and this person is familiar even if he's obviously not him

sorry to say but barty + the rosier twins are in love and i’ve thought about nothing else since yesterday

[marlenemckinnons]

Do you think Regulus Black knows what a cow is?

But also, I’m gonna say no they lived in the city n I’m pretty sure walburga and Orion wouldn’t really care to teach them about farm animals

*peeps out of the void with chicken fries*

A random idea hit me to see how many times a person has interacted with Henry during Completing the Mission. (Not counting them existing but not interacting with Henry so say Clean Em Out won't count for Sven or Little Nest Egg for Right)

Charles interacts with Henry in Valiant Hero, Triple Threat, Special BROvert Ops, Pardon Pals, technically Toppat Recruits and Master Bounty Hunter for either a total of either five or six times depending on if you want to count the technicality.

Ellie interacts with Henry in Triple Threat, Pardon Pals, Toppat Recruits, Capital Gains, Toppat Civil War and Toppat King for a total of six times.

Reginald interacts with Henry in Jewel Baron, Toppat Recruits, technically Pardon Pals, technically Stickmin Space Resort, Toppat Civil War, Toppat King, Toppat 4 Life and Revenged for either a total of either eight or six times depending on the technicalities.

Right interacts with Henry in Jewel Baron, Toppat Recruits, technically Pardon Pals, technically Stickmin Space Resort, Free Man, Capital Gains, Master Bounty Hunter, Toppat Civil War, Toppat King, Toppat 4 Life and Revenged for either a total of eleven or nine times depending on technicalities and the most encounters with Henry either way.

Sven interacts with Henry in Triple Threat, Special BROvert Ops, technically Master Bounty Hunter if counting fails and technically Valiant Hero if counting fails for either a total of four or two encounters depending on technicalities.

Galeforce interacts with Henry in Valiant Hero, Special BROvert Ops, Pardon Pals and Master Bounty Hunter for a total of four times.
