do you have any jegulus fic recs??

YES ABSOLUTELY

it's been a bit since i've read jegulus fics bc the solangelo hyperfixation has been so strong but i still have plenty bookmarked!! i'm just going to share my favs of my favs, but i have even more (21 total) bookmarked on my ao3 :)

(also, just gonna put this right here, that i 100% would rec crimson rivers, best friend's brother, and just lovers by bizarrestars, and art heist baby! by otrtbs but i feel like everyone in the jegulus fandom has already read those bc they're pretty much classics, so just know!! i love those fics!! but i'm gonna try and rec some other possibly less known fics here :))

ALSO ALSO - all of these authors have incredible other fics and i highly recommend you check out their entire dashboard!!! for literally every single author on this list. i'm subscribed to all of themjkdf

You Signed Up For This by Solmussa

James and Regulus have a summer fling that they promised their friends they wouldn’t have. Remus and Sirius discover their mutual hatred is just pent-up sexual tension. Dorcas and Marlene are always winning, even when they’re not. It’s a cruel summer for all. first of all i'm extremely attached to this fic bc it introduced me to maisie peters, which led to one of the best concert experiences of my life!! but other than that, this is just so beautifully written, so detailed, and an all-around incredible fic. everything by this author is incredible too!! it's got the perfect balance of angst vs fluff and just summer vibes, which is prob the perfect thing to read right now - anyway, DEF read if you haven't already!!

Mastermind by pieceofchocolate

Regulus Black is the mastermind behind the Liberal party. Unfortunately, he’s never been very good at the more outgoing parts of politics – on a more fortunate note, he has his brother to act as a front figure. Sirius Black has always been the sweetheart of British politics, charming the voters with his wit and charisma. That was until James Potter came around, becoming party leader of his own party, the Leftists. Sirius would probably hate him, if they weren't such good friends. Regulus does not share this problem. Remus Lupin literally just needed a job, and got thrown into the mess of secrets, games and an upcoming parliamentary crisis. With an election around the corner, things are bound to go awry. MCD WARNING but so worth it. like genuinely. it's a painful fic but there's also a good dose of fluff and i enjoyed every single second of reading despite it being politics and.. well, i'm from america so you can probably guess that it was very strange to actually be attached to these characters while they were politicians😭 this one's also so well written and - there are fics where you can just tell that the person cares so deeply about the topic they're writing about, and this is one of them!!! i love finding fanfics where authors are just incredibly passionate about the subject/au OH and it has a taylor swift title. so like. yk it's already gonna be good. (this is also actually one of my favorite songs ever so i was soo excited to read)

Quidditch Rivals turned Quidditch Lovers. That's what the world sees them as, at least. Too bad Regulus hates James Potter's guts, and James? Well, it doesn't matter what he feels about their definitely fake, definitely emotionless relationship. c'mon. there had to be one fame au on this list. and i KNOW that this one's sports, but it's so so so fucking good - and i'm gonna be honest, i've read so many of the band au's (there are quite a lot in this fandom, even i've written one) but for some reason i didn't have any of them bookmarked - which tbf, i'm very selective with what i bookmark lmfao but!!! this one is just SO good the plot, the social media aspect, the background wolfstar, just 10/10 fic!!

these violent delights (have violent ends) by damagecontrol

titanic au prepare for pain. MCD warning. but like, the pain is written so well, and it's so heartbreaking, and i literally remember staring at the ceiling after reading this (finishing at like 2 in the morning) and just not being able to think of anything but that ending, and like, you KNOW that you're going to be in pain bc it's a titanic au, but like, GOD it's so good. i genuinely don't even have the words i'm still depressed bc of it (but in a good way)

The Mystery of the Pears by sonwar

In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone. Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order. canonverse fic!! and such a lovely au. the romance between them is just so natural, and yet there's still the war going on - but really, it's just so well written, despite all the angst of the war, imo it's just such a feel-good fic. love this one so much.

Only the Brave by Solmussa

A fic about two idiots falling in love (x2 because there's wolfstar, too) during a war, and the sacrifices they'll have to make to survive it. andddd this one's the big one. this one's the one i choose to accept as canon. like. GUYS. THIS ONE'S SO FUCKING GOOD if you haven't already and you're a jegulus fan, you just HAVE to read it like genuinely. the plot is so well-thought out, all of the interludes give these other characters their own stories too, and the angst!!! but also the badassery!!! i can't even explain it but if you want a canonverse war au where jegulus survives and they all win, then, like, this is the one. it's so perfect. prob my fav jegulus fic of all time.

and those r my recs!! hope that you enjoy them, and i have several others in my bookmarks!! i've also written some if you haven't checked those out, but!! happy reading :) thank you for the ask!

Did anyone else think the bird was gonna be Jinu in disguise? Like he could somehow shapeshift the way other demons could? No? Just me?

[howdidienduphere12]

what jinu allegedly did in canon for saja boys to become successful:

recruit four demon members and somehow convince them to join his boyband BEFORE getting Gwi-Ma's approval

taught them how to do different, but synchronized poses on cue

watch over and learn the evolution of modern kpop music, culture, fashion, and fandom

song lyricist & choreographer where he wrote (atleast) two singles and planned every move and expression.

made sure some of the choreo was memorable and easy enough to replicate and go trending

design brand collaterals like the soda cans, billboards, train displays, posters, ad videos, light sticks, oh and the logo too

basically a social media manager to create, edit, and schedule their social media posts

plan a photo and video shoot with the saja boys

record a studio version of soda pop and release it on streaming platforms

publicist where he basically booked them to the variety show, created a PR campaign and all to create hype for their first debut show in public to have some audience (the huntrix girls noted that there were more people than usual in the area before the saja boys' first performance)

gave the boys PR training

booked an entire stadium for the midnight concert

did a kpop boyband bootcamp to wrangle four demons into becoming the perfect idol to act, sing and dance

probably did a 1on1 for each saja boy too to create and establish their character

—all so he can forget his shame and memories

[howdidienduphere12]

honestly...i feel the same jinu-

giving the mutuals a mango 🥭

Meanwhile, in another universe…

Also here’s a basic version in case some of the outfit details are hard to make out:

[howdidienduphere12]

how jinu recruited the saja boys

[howdidienduphere12]

Very important behind the scene of Saja Boys production 🙂‍↕️

[howdidienduphere12]

thE TAGS I LITERALLY CANT-

No bcus the implications of the Saja Boys are so funny like??? Jinu is the only one we've seen has a confirmed music background so did he have to research, train, style, and manage the group by himself???? Did he also have to come up with the concepts and the marketing or is there like a demon thats rlly good at photoshop? Or if its all Jinu that means he had to teach himself fucking adobe after effects and how to use tiktok. Also how did he even research how to make a boy group was he in the trenches of BTS comment sections??? God the more I think about the Saja Boys the funnier it gets

[howdidienduphere12]

Maybe it's because I have a weakness for toxic female characters, but I wanted Rumi to crash out even harder and go full demon mode with Jinu

[howdidienduphere12]

has anyone asked this

[howdidienduphere12]

"mirror mirror on my phone, who's the baddest?

✨ us, hello? ✨"

[howdidienduphere12]

I'm not sure if other people have made this theory but here

Okay, so I'm sure we've all heard the new snippet of Vodka Cranberry and I'm pretty sure it's from the other POV of Memories. The lyrics we have are:

So strange to be back at your place,

pretending like nothing has changed,

SPEAK UP,

I know you hate me,

looked at your picture and cried like a baby,

SPEAK UP,

don't leave me waiting,

got way too drunk off the vodka cranberry,

All of these lyrics line up with memories in some way. The first two are obvious - memories is about someone coming back into your life that you once loved. But again, something changed to make the love fade.

SPEAK UP could be in reference to I can't turn away a wet dog and since you came, I guess I let you stay, for as long as it takes... Conan (I guess) doesn't want to say anything but he-

Hates the other person. I know you hate me.

However, there is another connection for SPEAK UP - ...too busy playing the victim to be listening to me. VC POV doesn't listen to Conan because Conan isn't speaking loud enough.

Looked at your picture and cried like a baby seems to be a reference to for me to stop crying when I look at all the pictures, and also cause tonight, you're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the foetal position. Foetal here being similar to baby (obviously not the same tho - abortion isn't murder).

The penultimate line doesn't have any connection as far as I'm aware (but I might be wrong), but the last line, got way too drunk off the vodka cranberry, connects again back to cause tonight, you're all drunk in my kitchen curled in the foetal position.

Credits to @b_b_b_bourgeois on tiktok for this connection but it's no coincidence we got Kid Krow Decomposed almost right before Wishbone was announced, and it's also no coincidence we got Bed Rest as the new song. Bed Rest, as in, asleep, as in, pyjamas. THE WISHBONE PYJAMA TOUR. And, in the Bed Rest lyric video, there's a crumple in the bed sheet that looks exactly like a wishbone. What this means is that maybe Wishbone is a dream in Conan's mind, and every dream is an alternate POV of another song.

Think about the first Wishbone song we got: This Song. It's all but confirmed Will and Bran are the boys from The Story, in none other than KID KROW.

Then what was the next one? Vodka Cranberry. And that was only a few days after SUPERACHE'S 3RD BIRTHDAY. SUPERACHE? AS IN, MEMORIES? IT'S ALL CONNECTED!

So this leaves ten other songs in WIshbone which have some other song tied to them. The first two are released after/around another album's birthday. We didn't get one for Found Heaven (unfortunately), but there is Sunset Season. Obviously it's parallel would be Sunset Tower, but that EP isn't really based around a specific person, unless you look at the last song on the track - Lookalike. This is about one person in particular, and I think it's the biggest contender for the next single, if we get another one. The main detractor from this theory is that Sunset Season came out in November, which will be after Wishbone's release.

That was an educated guess, but the other nine songs are complete shots in the dark for me, as I don't know every song like the back of my hand, so some of you might be able to piece it together.
