I just found my poetry archive in my notes. I should transfer them into a journal and call it my sad girl poetry.

[starcrossedbrothers]

i can't stop thinking lately about the idea that sirius never got to properly grieve regulus' death. like he dies and its 1979 and sirius is 19 years old in the middle of a war. and people are dying every day and there is pain and horror all around them and there's just no space to really sit with grief, no time, no moment of reprieve. and ofc this is just made worse by regulus' death being more complicated than losing a brother, because sirius hated him even when he still loved him. (and i do think he always loved him. but like. he hated what he was doing. hated who he believed regulus was yk?) there's so much anger and resentment and guilt and regret, and processing that through his grief needs time he doesn't have in the middle of a war.

and then its 1981 and he's thrown in prison and he does have time now, endless time, but he's surrounded by fucking dementors. and all of that pain is just bombarding him day after day. and twelve years go by but every day is the same as the one before, the pain always just as sharp, the wound just as fresh as the day he heard the news. and his grief is so incredibly present but it's not being processed yk, he's not able to actually go through the process of mourning, he never comes out the other side.

and then! and then. he's free but he's a fugitive. he's free but he's not free at all because nearly everyone wants him dead or locked up or stripped of his soul. and idk i don't think he spent the first two years mourning. i think he was too panicked, too anxious, too afraid, too guarded.

and when he finally does have time, where is he but back in fucking grimmauld place. his childhood home. and you know he was thinking about regulus. but it's like, he's got 16 years of pent up grief to deal with and now he's imprisoned in the house he was abused in? that his little brother was also abused in? that he tried to desperately to leave only to end up back there? not to mention everything else he needs to process (other deaths, azkaban, betrayal, being imprisoned in the house of his childhood nightmares, etc etc). and the reminders of regulus are everywhere. suffocating him. memories closing in until he can't breathe for it.

and maybe he would have been able to process that grief, but he only got a year before he died. and when he did, he still hadn't truly mourned his brother to an extent that he could make peace with any of it

Greetings! What would be the outcome of the au? A bad end where everyone is defeated by the Timekeeper? Vertin sacrifices themself to protect everyone or do the suitcase fam capture her and attempt to free her ? this au is kinda stuck in my head now lol, like the idea of arcana revealing herself like the geto scene with the brain if u seen jjk.

Hi hey, I'm so glad you're interested in my au hahaha

Idk much abt jjk tho like idk what scene that is but that sounds cool hahah

Anyways

My initial concept is that Vertin came back yeah, and a few starts to notice, I think it'd come to the point where Sonetto and Regulus confronts her?? Bc there's clearly smth wrong w Vertin

Ofc, Arcana plays her part well, and as Vertin, she deflects, saying she's fine, just tired and still a bit shaken after escaping from Manus Vindictae. It was a miracle how she escaped, she thought she'd die then and there

But they know there's more to that. It'd be funny tho but also on brand if Regulus herself knew smth was amiss bc ofc, Vertin using her wand more and more, but the thing that set Regulus off was the fact that Vertin was using her left hand, she's right handed as far as Regulus knows, and ofc, how she uses her tuning arcane skill, how it's like a seasoned magician

And it got to the point that while they're still in the Foundation, Vertin kept her distance, always wandering off by herself, wandering the halls like a ghost, everyone was starting to get worried

And until one night, where Vertin was there in the courtyard, well,, Madam Z and Tooth Fairy tried to talk to her, to go back inside, it's dark out already, and hey c'mon, she's their daughter at that point, and they just got her back from Manus, so seeing Vertin like this, it worried them

Imagine as they try to approach her, Z just stops dead in her tracks, grabbing Tooth Fairy's arm, stopping her, as they both hear Vertin chuckle darkly, slowly turning towards them, and as she did, Arcana's wand formed at either sides of Vertin's head, and her silver eyes turned pale yellow, and she smiles ay them, the same godforsaken smile Arcana always has on her face

And ofc, that lil drawing comes to play, the strings on Vertin, it would be so so fun if like,, w those, and w the influence of Arcana's magic, she managed to take control of a few arcanists too. Like can you imagine her just attaching the strings on the arcanists Vertin had saved, and taking control of them like puppets, that'd be so cool and bc ofc in c2, wasn't there a part titled Puppet, and bc if I remember right, Arcana also called Vertin her puppet

Like that'd be such a cool concept, Arcana using Vertin as a puppet, and w Vertin's hands she uses other arcanists as her puppets too

But also the mental image of all of the arcanists in Vertin's suitcase just fights off Manus followers on each floor of the Foundation buildings, look, I have a concept, I wanna write it, I just don't know how to execute it well, it has Schneider in it, Arcana brought her back or smth to make it hurt more, and the Schneider and Sonetto fight is just cbmxnd ough

But yeah, her defeat, idk, I want it to be some temporary defeat, ofc me being biased, as Sonetto was fighting off Schneider, Regulus rushes to where Vertin is, and ofc, she and Arcana fight lmfao

But do you see my vision when I say Arcana uses Regulus' line against her, y'know the thing Regulus says before her ult right

Imagine Arcana using that, just having Regulus pinned, one hand on her neck, the other on her cheek, her thumb trailing upward to her lower eyelid, pressing down hard, as she whispers in Vertin's voice, "are you ready... To be blinded?"

And Regulus spats out, "are you?" And uses her ult on both of them

Look look it's good on paper and it's a good mental image I can't just execute it well here but I hope you see the vision cbsmnd

But yeah, after that, and more psychological mindscape stuff of Regulus trying to save Vertin, Vertin was saved! That's a good thing right? Arcana was gone, so were the Manus followers, but it was so sudden, it shouldn't be that easy, right

Ofc it's not, Vertin wasn't saved, she never will be. Arcana's wand was still w her, lying dormant, waiting to be called out again, waiting till it finally corrupts their precious little Timekeeper.

when harry names his first son, he aches with longing. he misses the people who will never meet this boy and who his heart breaks after daily. he calls his first son james sirius potter and something in his blood and something in the night sky rejoices in the reunion.

when harry names his second son, he aches with the weight of the war. he misses the teenage boy who died in the forest and he misses the teenage boy who died in the cave, both of whom he never got to know properly but both got him to the other side of the war without knowing it. he calls his second son regulus potter and something in his blood and something in the night sky rejoices in the reunion and in brothers who will never be erased from family portraits.

[adharastarlight]

Regulus never actively tried to shut people out, at least he didn't to begin with. As a child, he was one of the bubbliest kids he could have been in his circumstances. In fact he was always better at making friends than Sirius was until he wasn't.

No, Reg never blocked himself off until he had to. Because sometimes you realise too late that your whole life you've been taken advantage of because you're warm and bright. And sometimes the brightest people become the coldest people, the ones who are near to impossible to reach.

Regulus Arcturus Black was not a cold person. The world froze his warmth time and time again until he couldn't bring himself to fight back.

[turnin9pag3]

im a firm believer that sirius wouldnt like james and regulus together.

i understand he would be happy for his best friend and his little brother both of which he cherishes beyond all belief but also he grew up in a household with no comfort. he fought for the things he has and that mentality stems onto people too. i headcannon him with a HUGEEEE jealousy problem.

regulus is his baby brother. that is HIS BROTHER. HIS EVERYTHING. and if you think for a second he would let someone- even a james potter someone- take that away then your delusional because “my baby brother i need to protect him. your not allowed to know him thats my job you cant take this from me hes mine”

and james is his best friend. HIS LIFE. HIS PERSON. james was his escape from that horrid household. he had fought tooth and nail for his servings in this world and james potter is the biggest one hes not letting him get takes away because “your supposed to be my best friend. you are mine. not his. he cant have you. i wont let him.”

he knows its toxic but he cant help but feel like he needs to be someones everything to be anything. so when he sees the people he loves most in this world (minus remus ofc) getting together and being- in his eyes- happier together, i dont think he would take that very well.

more random Regulus thoughts because yes:

Regulus likes vehicles. Boats and motorcycles are her favorites but anything that can go fast is awesome in her eyes.

Mr. APPLe brought smol Regulus into a lot of bars/pubs due to his alcoholic tendencies and because it's *slightly* better than spending the night in an alleyway

it is with a heavy heart I must announce that timeline wise Regulus wouldn't have ever gotten to hear "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel. She might've gotten to hear "The Sound of Silence" tho so not all is lost (This is the true tragedy of the Storm)

Ohh more hcs dope hahaha

Wait I wanna add stuff too lmfao

•mood w the vehicles, I also have this lil hc posted that she has no concept of a speed limit

-kudos to An-An tho, but girlie really thought that was thrilling until they had to escape from the cops bc of trespassing, she finally found out just how much Regulus doesn't give two shits abt the law, An-An was sure they broke more than ten traffic violations that night lmfaooo

•Okay but APPLe bringing her to bars could be why she ended up loving music tho real, like, seeing the dj there and she went to APPLe, and just "Mr APPLe! I wanna be like him!" And she points to the dj and APPLe, drunk as all fuck, just went "of course, Regulus, anything for you" and that night the rest of their money were spent on music stuff lmfao

-he wakes up next morning w a headache, sees Regulus so happy w her new dj or music stuff, and he's there wondering where the fuck she got it—

•Sound of Silence chdmnd help omf yeah no she would love the memes around that she would've

-rip Regulus, you would've loved vines

•but yeah omg hc time Regulus is genderfluid and none of you, I mean none of you, could ever ever change my mind on this one, this is canon in my heart

-she calls herself king in one of her incantations and that's reason enough for me lmfao, like she wears the most feminine presenting clothes and she'd just still call herself a king and in my heart she doesn't give a damn abt gender too

-Vertin🤝Regulus🤝MedPoc

"fuck you mean what's my gender??"

•Regulus having sharp teeth tho your honour do you see my vision

-tho this also applies to like, the ones whose UDIMO are animals w sharp teeth lmfao idk, I just like the mental image

[ecstarry]

omg just saw your jegulus/single day james hc post and i wanna know your head cannons for teen harry w jeggy dads plsssss

i must preface this by saying all of this hcs are self indulgent and based on my characterization of them so dont come for me

reg would be the best at understanding when harry needs space, like as some people may read it as reg not being interested in getting to know him, harry just really appreciates not being pushed into talking/bonding, like reg does not care looking like the "mean" one if that's what makes harry comfortable

alsooo reg is much more in "touch" with today's youth than james so when it comes to movies and music he clicks so well with harry and james is like cool cool cool so a24 is like a franchise right or how do they have so many movies??

harry asks reg for help for assignments and asks him to proofread his essays and reg is very gentle with his corrections and comments. in my mind harry is booksmart but sometimes the concepts and ideas he has are hard to properly translate on paper and that's where reg and his beautiful mind comes in

if harry ever has like a bad attitude kinda day because you know teen he is toooo similar to james and they clash, reg just finds it amusing but knows it's on him to mediate

their favorite thing to do as a family is read together, yes im talking that scene in cmbyn where the mom is translating in real time, that's them!!! reg ofc is the one translating and james is actually the one spread out in the couch while reg plays with his hair but harry loves hearing reg reading out loud

on james' bday they always give him a present together, they make a day out of picking it and regulus always lets harry write the card even if his penmanship isn't as pretty as reg's
