summary:

a chase gives way to mutual obsession, and it's hard to tell where a cat and mouse game starts and ends when both players are the cat. love is certainly nowhere on the table, but is there not something intimate in the desire for someone else's blood on your hands?

or, james works for MI6 and regulus is the assassin he's been tasked to hunt down

my personal thoughts below

oh this one is fucked up. soooo fucked up. soooo morally grey. (although morally grey may be too light of a term for this)

i am obsessed. it is so beautiful and insane and interesting. i could not put it down. regulus is a murderer, james is an agent, and they are OBSESSED with eachother. so captivating and meaningful. yes.

i have so many good reccomendations for youuu. you absolutely must read choices first of all, kill your darlings by messermoon (iconic), when you were mine by sequinhaze (so good), edge by pinkpalaceapartments (UGH THIS ONE), en avant by bluerosebouqet (underrated, deserves more hype), carpe noctem by evareinadeescocia (FAVE characterization ever ive read this so many times), honestly i could keep going but ill spare you my waffling

THESE ARE SUCH GOOD RECS!!!!

ive read all except for en avant. i feel as though that one will make me cry and i will be reading it expeditiously.

thank u so much :)

You Signed Up For This by Solmussa

word count: 293,831

finished?: Yes

main pairings: Regulus Black/James Potter, Marlene McKinnon/Dorcas Meadowes, Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, Pandora Lovegood/Lily Evans Potter, Barty Crouch Jr./Evan Rosier

warnings: Explicit

summary:

Regulus’ best friend Dorcas convinces him to go on a summer trip with her. She dubs it ‘operation make Reg smile again'. It's his chance to break from the cycle of toxic mistakes he keeps repeating in London. James wouldn’t know casual if she walked up to him and introduced herself. That’s why he’s got a rule to protect himself from heartbreak: only hook up with tourists on their last night in town. When James learns the gorgeous tourist he’s just met is around for six weeks, he gets spooked. Six weeks is a long time, but also no time at all. As the Black brothers unexpectedly reunite after ten years apart, James and Regulus are forced to spend time together and James starts to think that maybe rules are meant to be broken. Getting involved with Regulus is going to hurt, but James believes it'll be worth it. Either way, James knows what he signed up for. Or does he?

OR

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. I love you (ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?)

my personal thoughts below

LATINO JAMES POTTER??? james LOVES reggaeton in this. this is such a fun summery fic. theres a bit of angst but honestly its mostly just fun and happy. you get to see sirius and regulus working on their relationship, you get to see SURFING???? marlene is a surfer in this and its my favorite thing ever.

main pairings: James/Regulus, Sirius/Remus

warnings: Major Character Death, Explicit

summary:

The RMS Titanic is the Ship of Dreams—considered unsinkable and insurmountable in her luxury, she is the largest ocean liner in the world. Her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York begins 10 April 1912 with more than 2,000 souls on board. Regulus and Sirius Black are English-French royalty and First Class passengers. It's a luxury most can only dream of. But for both brothers, the Titanic is a nightmare bringing them closer to futures they do not want. James Potter and Remus Lupin aren't supposed to be on the Titanic. They get lucky winning Third Class tickets in a poker game just moments before she sets sail. For them it's a fresh start, a sure shot to new lives and freedom across the sea. It's purely by accident that their paths cross; First and Third Class passengers don't often end up in the same spaces. Yet this time they do, and what begins is a tumultuous and harrowing love story marked by a tragedy none of them will ever forget.

my personal thoughts below

i havent finished this one! reading it right now, and im really loving it. terrified about the ending, but loving it. im not always a super huge fan of james and regulus love at first sight BUT this one kind of needs it, considering how the author has such limited time. i also think they played it super well. the pining in this fic is amazing, i love it.

Tarte Tatin by veryinnovative

finished?: No

main pairings: Regulus Black/James Potter

warnings: N/A

summary:

Regulus Black, once a teenage pastry chef prodigy, has since ascended to the heights of culinary acclaim as a Michelin-starred chef de cuisine. Due to his uncle's waning health, he takes on the responsibility of managing the quaint, but disorganized, French restaurant L’Astre together with a team of old friends and other eccentric souls. With aspirations to transform it into a place of widespread renown, Regulus dives headfirst into the challenge. However, this mission takes an unexpected twist when his new sous chef, James Potter, steps into the kitchen.

warnings: graphic depictions of violence

summary:

When Regulus Black woke up in 1991 after he was supposed to die twelve years prior, he realized two things. One, the locket he had worked so hard to steal had never been destroyed so the Dark Lord was still alive. And two, Harry Potter, James Potter's son, was in danger.

Regulus goes to school with the Golden Trio.

oh my godddddddd i love this fic with my whole heart and soul. you get regulus, sirius, and remus raising harry. you get so much angst. there is so much content. it is one giant slow burn between every pairing. its so fun to read. the author is so great at doing what they do. it goes through the events of the books, but certain things are changed because of regulus, and they are done so well. im just dying for the next update i wont even lie.

warnings: graphic depictions of violence, major character death

summary:

When James Potter answers a mysterious ad in his local coffee shop, the last thing he expects is to be thrown into a world of white collar crime, but how can he resist when the mastermind behind the operation has dark hair and brooding eyes and promises wealth beyond James' wildest imagination? He would do anything for that boy named after a star, including stealing millions of dollars of fine art.

my personal thoughts below

so fun honestly. for the most part....

i love this one so very much. if you haven't read it, beware of the major character death. beautifully written, beautiful symbolism, i love it. badass regulus is my favorite and he really shines through in this. verrryyyy morally grey character moments that are overall so interesting. slowburn. pining. dark academia adjacent.

Welcome!

What is this?

This is my personal Jegulus fic archive!

Why is this?

I am so tired of scouring the Jegulus tag on tumblr and ao3 for some good fics, so I decided to create what I wish existed.

How this works:

I am going to post fics that I have personally read and recommend! I will give a little bit about it, along with my personal thoughts and opinions. If you don't care about my opinions, that's okay, just ignore the read more sections.

Feel free to send me recommendations!

I mostly read longer stories, but I'll read anything.

I will meticulously tag the fics in the tags because I like to make life harder on me, so feel free to use that to your advantage!

Crimson Rivers by bizzarestars

word count: 865,000

finished?: Yes

main pairings: James/Regulus, Remus/Sirius, Dorcas/Marlene

warnings: graphic depictions of violence

summary:

Regulus Black was fifteen the first time his name was called at a reaping. He's twenty-five when it happens to him again. A lot has changed in that time, and one of them is that he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it home. Nothing or no one will stop him, not even James Potter.

James Potter has no plans to stop Regulus Black from making it home. In fact, his plans revolve around the opposite. He has his reasons, but he's made his choice to get Regulus out of the arena, even knowing it'll be the last thing he ever does.

Sirius Black was sixteen when he volunteered to take his little brother's place in the arena. At twenty-six, without the option to do it again, he has no choice but to be a mentor to his brother and best friend, knowing that only one of them can make it back out.

Two names called, a mentor on the verge of falling apart, and more secrets and grief between all of them than they know how to handle. None of them are prepared for what comes next, or how far they'll go to make it through.

my personal thoughts below

such an addicting fic. this author has such a talent in storybuilding. the characters are so complex, and you really feel with them. this is one of the few fics i have read multiple times, it is so addicting. it is very depressing though, so read at your own risk. this version of wolfstar is one of my favorites of all time, i love them. badass regulus, sunshine james.......mwah.
