broom - jegulus - @into-the-jeggyverse - word count: 460

If pressed, Regulus would admit to being a little nervous about spending this Christmas with the Potters. Just under a year ago, he had arrived at Potter Manor with only the clothes on his back, the wand in his hand, and a set of fresh bruises blooming all over his body courtesy of his mother and her recent discovery of his relationship with the Potter heir.

He knew James loved him, he told him every day, not just in words but in little actions. He knew Sirius loved him, as he’d taken to loudly proclaiming the fact at least once a week across the great hall. He even knew that Mr and Mrs Potter (“Please Regulus, don’t be so formal, call us Monty and Effie) loved him, when he received their regular care packages filled with his favourite sweets and a copy of Potions Monthly already annotated with Mr Potters insights on the articles, and questions for Regulus to answer.

So yes, Regulus was nervous, as this was the first Christmas he would be spending with this family, his family, and he desperately needed to make sure the gifts he got for everyone were perfect.

Sirius was easy, he’d teamed up with James and got him a brand new leather jacket and several patches to customise it with, along with a promise to teach him the sewing charms he’d need to ensure the seams never frayed. Sirius thanked them with tears in his eyes, and only a minor amount of ribbing about “couples presents already” and “don’t think you’ll get away with this every year”.

Mr & Mrs Potter were slightly more tricky, but he accepted their thanks along with their hugs for the matching stirring rod and wooden spoon he had got them, both their passions symbolised.

But James was impossible. What do you get for the boy who already owns your whole heart?

He had been struck by inspiration in the middle of the night – a memory of their first date, chasing a slightly wonky snitch that had been caught a few too many times across the Hogwarts quidditch pitch, quickly losing light but barely noticing as they had been lost in each other. When they finally landed, gracelessly bounding towards each other, their first kiss with James’ hands cupping Regulus’ face, and the feeling of the splinters on James’ fingers because he never cared for broom maintenance. James saw any moment spent with his broom that wasn’t flying it as a waste of time.

“Broom polish?” Sirius exclaimed, as he watched James open the gift. “I love you brother, but is that really the best you can do? If Moony got that for me I’d–”

“No” James interrupted, tears in his eyes. “It’s perfect. Exactly what I needed”.

The first years gathered around them like moths, pulled by the words of the two fourth years. The grass was damp. The moon was high. The Shrieking Shack loomed in the distance, half-obscured by fog and superstition.

Sirius lounged on a low stone wall, picking at a splinter in his wand. Every inch of him was the picture of casual danger. Terror. Whether his own, or that to inflict on poor first-years, no one would know. “You lot really planning to go near it?”

The smallest Hufflepuff swallowed hard. “They say it’s just abandoned.”

Remus snorted. “Abandoned buildings don’t scream at night.”

The children shifted uneasily. One of them looked over his shoulder.

“Fourth year like us,” Sirius said, nodding solemnly toward the Shack. “Thought he could prove it was all nonsense. Said he was going to write an exposé or something. Real type-A sort. Had a notebook and everything.”

Remus folded his arms. “He brought a comb, too.”

“A comb,” Sirius repeated, eyes wide with mock horror. “Like that would help.”

They let the silence stretch for a moment. It was just long enough to make it even more dramatic.

“No one heard him go in,” Remus murmured. “But the screaming…everyone heard that.”

“Blood-curdling,” Sirius added. “He staggered out at dawn, robes torn, twitching like a cursed doll.”

“Hair completely white,” said Remus. He attempted to keep his eyes serious. “Won’t go near mirrors anymore.”

“Now he just floats through the dungeons muttering about product ingredients,” Sirius said, barely holding it together.

There was a beat of stunned silence. One of the first years whimpered. And then, they were gone, completely against going anywhere near the Shack. Which was good, as neither Sirius or Remus wanted people near it.

And then Sirius cracked first. His shoulders were shaking. Laughter spilled out in helpless gasps. He leaned on Remus like a lifeline. Remus followed, cackling into the sleeve of his jumper. The two of them were breathless with amusement as the first years fled in a clatter of panicked footsteps.

Across the courtyard, a dark figure scowled from the shadows of the castle entrance. His arms were crossed. He obviously was annoyed with their constant lies that somehow led back to him.

“Did you see their faces?” Sirius wheezed, wiping his eyes.

Remus grinned. “Do you think we should start replacing his shite with purple shampoo?”

“That’d be brilliant actually.”

They howled again. The Shack loomed behind them, silent as ever. Neither of them thought anything different about it. Because neither of them would dream about exposing what actually happens on the full moon.

Broom - Jegulus - @into-the-jeggyverse - word count: 191

James doesn’t mean to stare, but Regulus on a broom is…unfair. How could someone be that attractive all of the time?

The sun hits him just right. It goes over his high cheekbones and his black hair wind-tossed. His robes are billowing like something out of a dream James shouldn’t be having in the middle of a training session. One James insisted on stating they ‘needed a feasible way to be around each other’. But here he is, forgetting how to fly because Regulus Black just did a corkscrew turn like he was born mid-air.

When Regulus lands, he raises an eyebrow. “You’re staring…again.”

“I am not.”

“You flew straight into a goalpost.”

James, still clutching his bruised pride, shrugs. “Maybe I was distracted by how ridiculous you look when you’re showing off.”

Regulus smirks. “I’m not showing off. I’m just better.”

James steps closer and lowers his voice. “I’d like to see you say that when we’re both off our brooms for the day.”

Regulus’s gaze dips briefly to James’s mouth. “Oh, I plan to.”

And suddenly, James is pretty sure he’s going to forget how to walk as well.

I’ve learned from the hooligans (readers) that the ones that I believe are awful are NOT (shocking I know)

Now, I am writing a chapter that blatantly makes one character in the wrong. (It’s Lily) am I scared about how that’s gonna go down? Yes.

[lowlylux]

So this is only gonna make sense if you've seen kpop demon hunters on Netflix (if you haven't, fix that) but I gotta get my thoughts out on the au living in my mind

(Spoilers for the movie obviously)

Ok so there's 2 au options in my head

Option A:

Sirius is Mira, Remus is Zoey, James is rumi, Peter is bobby, Regulus is jinu, barty and evan are the other saja members

Regulus and Sirius are still brothers, but Regulus made a bad deal and became a demon. Sirius resents him for it and it's why he hates the saja boys so much

James is part demon but has hidden it his whole life out of shame. Then Regulus finds out and Regulus can't help but want to know more, bc he assumes Sirius knows- so why is Sirius ok with this demon but not him. But then he finds out that Sirius doesn't know, and now they can kind of bond over the shame they feel

The rest of the movie is pretty much the same except Regulus doesn't die and jegulus and wolfstar live happily ever after the end

Option B:

Regulus and Sirius are both demons, James is still rumi, but now Remus is Mira and Peter is zoey

So still similar plot, except now instead of one demon x human pair it's two. And Peter is the one that's likr "guys this is insane what's wrong with you"

And in this one Sirius and Regulus agree to the plan of staying on earth when the honmoon seals and they fight the demon king from the inside until its time

when the ao3 author is funny in the chapter notes and i get lowkey parasocial

[lowlylux]

Marauders HTTYD AU where Regulus inquires the village crazy lady (Lily) on fixing his new dragon’s tail (she’s not crazy, she just loves dragons). And they’re caught by James. And then when Regulus is fighting the queen dragon, he stumbles off a cliff at some point and Sirius catches him and goes “catch” and throws him to James who is flying Regulus’ dragon. And James is all cocky going “I’m a fast learner” because regulus never taught him how to steer. But James knows how to do it because he was watching Regulus.

Can be interpreted as Jegulily or Jegulus

My work is fundraising for a charity and they had me at a table for four hours making cotton candy

I will be real and say that the hours went by FAST

[lowlylux]

Jegulily mention

would you ever write regulily?

Probably not...? I just can't see Reg in a completely heterosexual relationship. No hate, I understand the draw, it's just not my thing. (I actually feel like barty/lily seems more fun). I HAVE written jegulily though!

[lowlylux]

Writing chapter twenty-one of silver spoons and Lily is being a bitch again. MY QUEEN I LOVE YOU, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY IN CHARACTER, BUT PLEASEEEEEE

but also Regulus character development 🧍

This chapter is making me think it might be best to add one more for regulus just so that we have time to breathe.

[lowlylux]

Ashamed to say I went a different route so it’s not as steamy 😔 I feel so bad

Me: prewriting for another chapter

Lily and Regulus: kiss turns into a decently steamy scene

Me: BRO??? WHAT HAPPENED?

You wanna know the real difference between someone who just talks about writing and someone who actually is a writer? Well, it’s not talent, nor some magical lightning bolt of inspiration from the heavens. It’s just sitting your ass down and doing the damn writing. Consistently. That’s the whole big, unsexy secret.
