I want secretly insane Regulus and James who is so devoted and lovesick he goes crazy.

Reggie is like (as a joke but also not really) “I’ll only be yours if you kill my mortal enemy”

James is like “alright bet.” Here’s a box delivered to you with your enemy’s head in it and also a separate box of eclairs, i saw you eating them one day so I know you like them.

Regulus is like wow i thought this boy was goody two shoes but the eclairs were a very nice touch. Maybe I shouldn’t be scared of revealing my insane past and crazy “hobbies” to him.

And James is like sir?? I have baked you eclairs and also cut up ur enemy, when can I have you?? Thanks.

:)

[starchaserdreams]

I was a massive Harry Potter nerd in high school but kind of stepped away from the fandom for a decade and then I read one (1) fanfic (ATYD), and now this fandom has my WHOLE ATTENTION.

Then I read like ten more in quick succession. I am looking for more recs, or blogs to follow, since I'm starting from scratch here.

I'll follow you if you post about any of these:

- Wolfstar

- Starchaser (jegulus)

- Sirius and Regulus as bros

- General Marauders nonsense, esp. pranks and chaos

- Lily and James as besties

I would love fics like

- fix it fics where everybody lives

- Sirius and Regulus both escape

- enemies to lovers

- opposites attract

- fake/pretend relationships

- mutual pining

- one side love at first sight, one side I hate you

- oblivious to your own feelings

- regulus has good friends (I love his friends 😭)

Please say hi, please tell me who to follow!!! My old tumblr is entirely one old fandom, and not at all this one, so I'm starting from zero!

@jegulus-microfic // february 4 // prompt: old // words: 619

Regulus reaches up with a sly grin on his face, hands coming to rest on James' chest and smoothing down the imaginary wrinkles in his white button down.

“I quite like being your trophy husband. All I have to do is stand here and be pretty—”

“And we both know how good you are at that,” James says as he leans down to drag his nose along the column of Regulus’ neck, lips following behind.

Regulus hums, a quiet thing. The scratch of James' five o'clock shadow against the sensitive skin of his neck makes blood rush to his head.

“A pretty, young thing for you to show off to all your old friends.” Regulus resists the urge to throw back his head and give James more space to work. Has to remind himself they're in public, although that has never stopped him before.

James' hands tighten where they're resting on Regulus' waist, fingers splayed possessively, just so everyone knows they can look but can't touch.

One hand slips under the hem of Regulus' shirt, settling on his hip. The feel of the cool wedding band against his skin contact makes him shiver and Regulus relishes in the knowledge that James is his.

“My friends aren't that old,” James says with a huff, pulling back from where he was mouthing at Regulus’ pulse point. There's no heat behind the words, though. Only fond amusement.

“Your friends are probably popping Viagra with their morning multivitamins,” Regulus says as he rolls his eyes.

There's violin music filtering through the room, and waiters with trays filled with Champagne weaving their way through the crowd. Although Regulus must admit that the hors d'oeuvres are excellent. He's snagged a few of a platter before dragging James to a secluded corner.

James leans down, tilting his head just so. Regulus knows he could press their lips together in a kiss if he would just tilt his face up to James. It would be so easy, like a flower to the sun.

“A pretty, young thing with a wicked tongue,” James murmurs, the words brushing over Regulus’ lips. They smell a little like Champagne and something sweet.

“You'd know all about that, huh?” He teases, fingers sliding up from where they were still resting on James' chest to the side of his neck where Regulus knows a hickey is hidden beneath the collar. Light catches on the thin wedding band he's wearing around his ring finger. The sight has heat coiling in his stomach.

Something flashes in James' eye, but it's gone before Regulus has the chance to decipher its meaning. Just as well, because the look is swallowed up by lust. The brown of James' iris disappearing, his pupils dilating as if they can't get enough of Regulus.

And Regulus knows he looks good; a silk shirt in a shade of green so dark it looks almost black, a thin layer of gloss on his lips and his curls mussed just so. It's a miracle they even made it out of the bedroom tonight, let alone the house. But James had insisted on coming, told Regulus they couldn't get away with skipping yet another party.

So they showed up and danced and mingled and Regulus watched as James talked to his friends. He always has a hand tucked into the bend of James' elbow, or one of James' arms around his waist or on his shoulders, a comforting weight.

After another moment of silence, eyes locked on each other, Regulus clears his throat. “I want to dance,” he declares.

“That's fine with me,” James says. “I like showing you off.”

Secretly Regulus thinks that he's the one showing off; James the trophy and Regulus the winner.

dessert- unofficial jegulus microfic - thanks, @emlovessid

Regulus hates the idea of dating.

He's never actually been on a date, per se, but the concept sounds terrible. You stress out while getting dressed in uncomfortable clothing, stress more while waiting for the start of the date, stress more about how fancy the restaurant is and how you're probably making an arse of yourself. And you talk.

That's all you do. Talk. And that sounds like the most stressful part of all.

So far, his time with James has been filled with 1 v. 1 Quidditch games and reading; stargazing and sneaking around. This is their first official date and they've never been in a position where there is nothing to do. No distractions. Just talking.

He wants to throw up at the thought.

But James had been so excited at the idea, and Regulus was obviously going soft because the moment James's face had lit up at the thought of going to dinner together, there was no way he could say no.

He could suffer through to see that beautiful smile.

So he puts on an outfit but finds it's not that stressful because he remembers what James said about how good he looks in that one sweater that's so comfortable and warm. It's easy to just pick that.

And he waits to go meet James, but he finds it's not stressful at all, because he is caught up remembering their library date from yesterday- how he rested his head in James's lap and James's hands had carded through his hair so gently as they both read. How relaxed and safe he had felt.

He doesn't even fret on the way to the restaurant, because James is holding his hand tightly, rubbing soothing circles into the back of it.

And when they arrive, Regulus can't find it in himself to worry if he is making an arse of himself, because they are talking about nothing and laughing about everything and James is making him melt with his stupid jokes, as he always does.

And James looks at him like he is...something. Like he is special. He secretly basks in it.

So he is quite shocked when the very kind waitress approaches their table and informs them that the restaurant is closing.

They've been there for four hours.

Just talking.

"But...we didn't get dessert," Regulus murmurs, stupidly.

Because, somehow, he doesn't want this date to end.

happy pride month you beautiful wonderful fucks!! 🏳️‍🌈

in honor of pride month here’s some wolfstar and jegulus as they are my current top ships:

*the marauders + regulus all sitting in the common room*

James, writing a last minute potions essay and absentmindedly trying to get regulus’s attention: hey love?

Sirius and Regulus, both looking up from their books: hmm?

Sirius, looking at regulus startled: why did you look up?

Regulus, who just realized he and James gave themselves away: •_•

James, who also just realized this: •_•

Sirius, who’s looking between the two and putting the pieces together: whY DID YOU LOOK UP REGULUS

Regulus:

James:

Peter, who figured it out weeks ago:

Remus, who also figured it out a while back, deciding to make sirius forget about it so they can stay a secret: hold on, sirius. you’re ignoring a very crucial part of this.

Sirius: what??

Remus: why did YOU look up?

Sirius: because james is my unofficial wife obviously.

Remus: uh huh, then what does that make me?

Sirius: my unofficial husband, come on remus we’ve been over this a dozen times by now.

Remus: I want an unofficial divorce.

Sirius: nope sorry, you’ve already unofficially divorced me once this week, you can’t do it again

Remus: why not? if we’re unofficially married then i can unofficially divorce you and remarry you as many times as i want

*commence sirius and remus bickering like an old married couple*

Regulus and James: *deep synchronized sighs of relief as they smile at each other*

Remus: *secretly smiles watching them together while sirius goes off on a tangent about their unofficial divorce*

Peter, who’s bored and also wants to annoy sirius whenever he has the chance: i, as your side hoe, also want a divorce

Sirius: wha-

[t1oui]

plenty of people talk about harry and luna being siblings because of pandalily raising luna (and, usually, jegulus raising harry) but not once have i heard someone talk about nobleflower raising neville and draco (+ frank co-parenting).

can you imagine draco and neville as brothers? a true snake and a pure gryffindor shoved under the same roof (this also applies to their mothers)? it would be chaos

not to mention that draco and narcissa are such drama quees. it takes a month of neville consistently using narcissa and alice's bathroom because "draco takes too long to do his hair" before the two of them are given their own bathrooms. they find something else to argue about within a week.

this family is always late to things. neville is literally the only one who is ready on time. he'll be waiting at the door thirty minutes after they were supposed to leave while alice is rushing around cleaning (she lost track of time) and draco and narcissa are getting ready. (narcissa can - and will - be ready in five minutes if she needs to be, but she believes in being fashionably late. draco truly cannot spend less than an hour on his appearance every day.)

neville and draco's last names are "longbottom-fortescue" and "black-fortescue" respectively. secretly they love sharing one of their names.

they have been brothers since they were two, which is when alice and narcissa moved in together. though they have full custody of both boys, frank is always hanging around, and in lucius's absence he's become a father figure to both neville and draco.

neville is too nice to gossip on his own, but draco is a terrible influence, and the second they're in the same room you know some tea is gonna be spilled.

alice is "mum" and narcissa is "mother". alice is the fun parent and narcissa is the slightly crazy one who buys her children $20,000 watches for their half-birthdays

alice is jewish and they celebrate both hanukkah and christmas every year.

neville and draco can practically read each other's minds. they have twin telepathy except they're not twins or biologically related. nobody really knows how, but if one of them is sad on the other side of the castle, the other one knows immediately

they actually really care about each other. they fight a lot but it never means much.

just. so much potential here, guys.

Just Dance (1/1) (jegulus | whisper of rosekiller)

The club was loud but Regulus was enough drinks in not to mind. He could feel his inhibitions slipping as Barty passed him another cocktail and he didn't care how many times Evan made fun of him for drinking them, he would never subject himself to something worse.

He let his eyes close as he and his friends swayed around on the dance floor. Feeling the music he knew he couldn't coordinate himself to any longer, but let his head fall back and all thoughts fade to the back of his mind. He let himself go for just a moment.

One moment.

Only to be brought quickly back to reality with a tap on his shoulder as the song ended and a slower melody took place. He opened his eyes and first saw Barty wrap his arms around Even from behind, pulling him close and Evan leaning his head back on Barty's shoulder. His first thought was that he wished they would get together already but his second was that they would do it in their own time and right now, with happy smiles on their faces, whether from warm drunkenness or lust Regulus couldn't be sure, they were enjoying this moment.

As his brain started working again he remembered why he had opened his eyes and it wasn't to observe his friends falling in love. No, it was because someone had tapped his shoulder. And that someone was now moving in front of him, extending a hand, and moving his lips in a strange way that Regulus didn't realize was actually a request to dance. Regulus was too busy being caught up in beautiful glistening brown skin and golden eyes to be able to hear.

When Regulus didn't reply to a question he hadn't heard, he watched the plump lips of the lovely face turn down, and in that moment Regulus would do anything to make them smile again. Drinking down the rest of his drink in one hand and reaching out the other to pull the shoulder of the body attached to the gorgeous face, Regulus realized that this eyes and mouth and skin were all a part of a tremendously fit boy who had been asking him to dance.

Regulus looked deep into the man's eyes, and secretly he wished they weren't obstructed by glasses. Without words, Regulus wrapped his arms around the man's neck, and the man smiled again making Regulus' heart flutter, and then placed his hands on Regulus' waist.

Leaning into his ear, Regulus learned the other man's name was James and that he thought Regulus was the most stunning person in the whole room. Regulus offered his name back in return and told James he had a good eye. Though instead what came out was "you have pretty eyes." Realizing what he said, recognizing the truth in it, Regulus didn't take back or correct himself.

When the song ended, Regulus let the other man buy him drink, and to this day he can't tell if the flush on his cheeks that night was from the alcohol or from being seen by James Potter.

jegulus band au HELP

okay, im torn between two ideas guys and i really really REALLY need some help from anyone that would actually read something like this:

idea 1: sirius and lily are the front men of their band 'the lilypads', marlene is on bass, remus is on drums and james is on guitar. regulus would just travel with them if they ever went on tour but he'd fall for james in the process and have to deal with the reality of secretly dating his brothers bandmate whilst on tour and them getting famous - this would also probably show the process of them starting the band, getting the members together, and the writing process (basically a fic heavily inspired by daisy jones without all the cheating) idea 2: regulus works for a cafe run by remus' parents so they're coworkers, and at night they open up a little stage area for local indie artists to come and perform to get their name out there. sirius and his lil band have played a few times and are pretty popular, remus isn't apart of it this time, its basically sirius and the ladies and its sick, but he's supportive of his boyfriend, and then james shows up and he's new in town and no one knows him but then he sings and he's incredible, and steals the show and people start actively requesting him—regulus thinks he's a bit irritating because he's so happy and over the top but he starts falling for him and they sort of get together but then regulus probably gets shit from his family so he's forced to date a girl and james is lowkey teasing tf out of him idea 3: some weirdass mix of the two idk

OKAY if you wanna vote pls help me out because i can never ever decide on shit

thank youuuuuu

Turquoise Waters

20th september prompt : waterfall by @jegulus-microfic

244 words

james and regulus had gone on many, many outings together, at least that’s what regulus used to call them when he was still in denial about his feelings. they’d gone to places like art museums, cafés, thrift stores and did picnics in a field of flowers or by the beach.

but one particular ‘outing’ that regulus absolutely loved was the one where james had brought him hiking through the forest and set up a picnic at the entrance of a cave that was covered by a massive waterfall. james had packed bacon sandwiches and apple juice cordial.

they ate the brunch and played in the pool under the waterfall. the water glittered a light blueish turquoise colour that made regulus feel like he was in a dream. james had secretly took way too many photos of regulus on his camera and had them processed after the trip. the turquoise water made regulus’s silver eyes sparkle as though a hundred stars were stolen from the sky and crammed in there.

it may not have been the candlelit dinner james organised for his engagement to regulus or the elaborate party regulus threw for james’s book launch. but that one outing that james had planned all those years ago was something regulus would never forget, whether it be from the excessive amount of pictures that it had its own album or just the mere fact that it was one of the best ‘outings’ he had been on.

Just Good Acting

for @jegulus-microfic's prompt, intent (327 words)

this feels super rushed but i wrote it at 11:30 at night so.. oops. anyway i got to use the word crestfallen <3

James Potter is asking him out, yeah right. Regulus scoffs and rolls his eyes, walking away. He doesn’t know what game Potter’s playing at but he doesn’t like it. Pranks involving people’s feelings are just cruel. As he stalks away, he catches what looks like disappointment… or even heartbreak on James’ face – but he ignores it. Just good acting.

When he gets back to his dorm Barty scolds him for saying no. The guy you’re in love with just asked you out! Barty yells, disbelieving. Well, how am I supposed to know what his intentions really are? Regulus rebutes. Evan is an impartial party. Regulus was sure of his decision, and yet, as the afternoon rolls on, a sinking feeling grows in the pit of his stomach. James looked crestfallen. Did he… did he really mean it?

Regulus warily makes his way through the empty corridors towards James’ prefect rounds. (It’s nobody’s business if he secretly memorised his schedule at the start of term). He finds James walking along like normal, wand in hand, talking to the few paintings that are still awake, but he looks sad. Please tell me I’m not the reason for that, Regulus pleads. Either he’ll be proven right, or he’ll be humiliated. And yet, he continues on.

James looks surprised to see him, and then just sad. Regulus breaks immediately.

“I’m so sorry I-” he stops, taking a breath, trying to stay composed. “Do you really want to go out with me?” he asks quietly, not daring to look up. He feels a hand on his shoulder and he can practically feel James’ smile on him, the bastard.

“Nothing would make me happier, Reg,” he says. Regulus looks up and sees nothing but sincerity, and so, he accepts it. “You can’t think my intentions were that dishonorable!” Regulus shrugs. That’s a story for another time. But they do finish their rounds together, whispering away to each other, and Regulus feels happy.

28/10 Prank Word Count: 695

(part two per request of @ladyelephant-12) @jegulus-microfic

part one

“Is this some sort of sick fucking prank?” Sirius snaps. “Were you two scheming behind my back?”

“N-No,” James says out of pure shock, so unsure of reality that his answer almost sounds like a question.

Sirius looks as if he’s about to respond but before either of them can react any further Regulus has turned swiftly on his heel, exiting the apartment, the door slamming in his wake. His calm composure clearly having been abandoned. Maybe he didn’t know that James was the same James after all. 

“This isn’t over!” Sirius calls yells to the door Regulus just left from but James is fairly certain the other man won’t hear him. 

Unser of what else to do James just blinks, opening and closing his mouth as he tries to form the right words to use.

“How about be go get a drink?” Sirius speaks up, “Just you and me. I’ll Regulus later, no use in chasing after him now, he won’t answer.”

This is how James finds himself sitting across from Sirius in a sticky of a pub booth with splitting leather cushions. Subjecting himself to Sirius’ death glare, to scared to say or do anything other than slowly sip the beer that’s been placed in front of him. 

And then out of nowhere Sirius starts giggling. Covering his face with his hands as he starts hysterically laughing. Face turning a deep shade of red, unable to catch his breath. 

James only stairs back with confusion, unsure of what is so funny. 

In between wheezes of roaring laughter Sirius starts talking again.  “We’re brother in laws now. Fucking brother in laws. Like for real. Not only are we brothers but we are now brother in laws. There’s no getting rid of me now bitch.”

The absurdity of the situation hasn’t even begun to set in. James only sits their awkwardly in his seat. “Sirius, Sirius,” James says, placing his hand on Sirius’s forearm in an attempt to calm him down. “I think your misinterpreting the situation.”

“How so?” 

“You know we’re not dating right?” James asks. “It was just a hook up.”

Sirius noticeably grimaces at the mention of those words but moves past it to say what he wants to say, “But do you like him?”

“He lives a six hour drive from here, I can’t have feelings for him.”

“Ya, but do you?” 

James’ silence speaks for itself as he stares down intently at his hands. 

“I’m gonna tell you something but you have to promise not to tell Regulus that I told you this, okay?” Sirius says, 

Sighing James responds, “It’s not like I’m gonna see him again soon anyway, we didn’t even bother exchanging numbers.”

“Here’s the thing, Regulus wasn’t here entirely for work,” Sirius starts to explain, “He was also looking at apartments in the area. His company is opening up a new office here and offered him a job. It would be beneficial for him to be closer to his friends and family and besides I wouldn’t be surprised if his company gives him a raise.”

James is utterly shocked, “So your saying…”

“Thank if you like him to go for it? Yes pretty much.”

“And your not gonna be mad at me for wanting to date your brother?”

“Nope” Sirius says popping the ‘P’. “You have my fully permission, not that you’d need it anyway. You both have minds of your own. To be honest I always secretly thought that you would be cute together.”

James is absolutely beaming now, grinning from ear to ear, something about Regulus just fills his stomach with butterflies and his mind with pure joy, 

“There is one condition though. No telling me about your sex life!”

“Ew! Of course not!” James scoffs wrinkling his nose. 

Sirius smirks, “Alright then it’s settled. All you have to do is ask him out.” Sirius concludes. 

———

When they get home later that night Regulus already sitting on the couch ready to talk. 

Regulus takes a deep breath in, “James,” he says with a pause. 

“Yes?” James questions. 

“Willyougooutwithme?” Regulus says in one breath, the words bleeding into one another. 

All James can say is “YES!!!”

[grabowskibeepboop]

When I first heard about jegulus I didn't get it and was like James loves Lily but having thought about it and imagining a little dark twink having a puppy crush that turns into an obsession on his (also twink) brother's decently attractive and flirty best friend who comes over quite often and slowly falls for him too and they secretly get together, making out in the kitchen risking someone catching them, Regulus eventually deciding on running away but claiming his love to James beforehand, who is then devastated, reading the letter he'd left him, and eventually letting himself move on

Okay I'm convinced

[mycupofrum]

what's a ship you hate that most people like 👀

Thanks for your ask, anon! I see we're onto the salt territory today... 😏 Ok, I'm very neutral about most ships except Wolfstar or Jegulus. But I'll say Wolfstar. I don't see Sirius and Remus together romantically in a fluffy way, mostly because Sirius has James in his life, so why would he need or want anyone else? Would Remus be secretly pining after Sirius (and/or James, if you want to make things interesting)? Probably, who wouldn't. Keep on pining.

Platonic Wolfstar? Sure, though even then it's nowhere near as close as Sirius and James's friendship who are just devoted to each other. (If you only see them as friends.)

Toxic Wolfstar? Hm, I've read it as a background pairing and it can work to bring out something in the characters but mostly I try to avoid the ship as much as I can because it's just not my thing. It does not spark joy.

But hey, ship and let ship. I have no problems with people shipping whatever. A lot of my annoyance comes with either tagging everything under the sun as Wolfstar (or Jegulus) when it's not about the ship specifically, or then not using the ship tag at all when it is about them.
