hello everyone and welcome to the March 2024 edition of emily's fic recs! If you saw my post this weekend you know that I bookmarked 57 fics this month... yeah idk how that happened but just know that this is gonna be a bit of a long one.

this month's list contains Jegulus, Wolfstar, and Drarry for a total of 28 fics. there are some all-time faves in this list (march was a good month) so I hope you enjoy!

without further ado, lets dive in :)

Jegulus

blue and yellow skies by alarainai, salmon_says (142k, 27/27, rated M)

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.

just cute quidditch boys who love each other

i fell hard (in your arms tonight) by grimjobs (17.9k, 9/9, rated G)

Regulus didn't know he was touch starved until James started touching him.

cute boys and silly misunderstandings

i've got my eye on you by artiest (10k, rated M)

James and Regulus are friends with benefits except they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

this one was so good I had to give it an instant reread as I was putting my list together. angsty happy in-love boys

Many Happy Halloweens by SnarkyMagpie (7.6k, rated M)

Monsters come out on Halloween, but Regulus Black will gladly fight any horror, whether it's a dragon or anxiety, to protect his family.

Jeggy dads!!!!!! Technically single dad James with Harry and then Reggie joining their family <3333

stuck by you (and the glue) by cleargreen (4.7k, rated G)

The two most important people in James's life finally meet. This is how it goes.

Whoops. by my_castlescrumbling (2k, rated T)

Regulus is a TA for Professor Monty Potter and Monty keeps trying to set Regulus up with his son. Regulus always refuses, of course. But what happens when, at the end of the term, he goes to the Potter Christmas Party?

yayyy happenstance!!!

a little death by noasmirrorball (1.6k, rated E)

James wakes Regulus up with a little surprise.

this is just straight up porn

heatwaves by regscupid (1.5k, rated E)

With the exit of May, James quickly came to realize he could not deal with what June brought with it. June meant hotter weather. Their flat didn’t have air conditioning.

reg in crop tops makes james' brain go mush

Wolfstar

wading in waist-high water by colgatebluemintygel (82k, 9/9, rated E)

Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off...

ONE OF MY FAVES OF THE MONTH!!! a wonderful balance of funny moments, bits of angst, and mostly just a lot of love between these two boys

Like Real People Do by third_crow (36k, 3/3, rated T)

Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

I LOVED THIS FIC!!! there is so much angst but it is so worth it because these two are meant to find each other every time

To Be Alone With You by Shay_Fae (16.6k, 4/4, rated M)

In the summer of their sixth year, Remus Lupin tried to kill himself.

MAJOR TW for this one (as you can see from the description) but also such a beautiful take on Sirius's love for Remus and their dynamic

my castle crumbled overnight by YellowLark23 (9k, 2/2, rated T)

Sirius deals with his parents’ abuse while at school, but he never realizes just how dangerous the game they're playing is.

This fic is more black brothers focused but there is sweet background wolfstar hurt/comfort :)

i've got diamonds in my eyes (for you) by crushofdoves (6k, 2/2, rated E)

Sirius and Remus are in big, soft, filthy love.

this is so hot and also just feels so real for a sex scene like they literally stop to have a grilled cheese in the middle it's perfect

Remus' Impromptu Study Break by ravenclaw_with_no_friends (5.6k, rated E)

“Sod off Pads, I’m mad at you,” Remus decided his best way out would just be to go have a shower. He got out of the bed, picking up his pyjama bottoms to hold in front of his crotch.

wolfstar smut with sirius making the first move hehe

i was sinking and now i'm sunk by crushofdoves (3.9k, rated E)

The air between them felt electric, crackling with intention and Sirius hoped they were on the same page.

bookstore employee remus having his way with sirius in the back room

Ways to be Gentle by Quietlemonhush (3.6k, rated E)

Sirius has a bad day. Remus reminds him what softness feels like.

sad sirius being given all the love by his moony

Drarry

A Dented Old Street Sign by orphanghost (27k, rated M)

Draco knows they aren't the only students who will be completing their NEWTs this year, but they are the only ones whose home fireplaces were disconnected from the floo network by the ministry.

At least, Draco assumes as much until he sees the light falling out from the front door of one of the other rickety old houses in front of them and the three figures cast in its warm glow.

the golden trio and returning slytherins are neighbors in Hogsmede for 8th year. tension, hijinks, and love ensues

With Great Yawns and Stretchings by sugar_screw (22k, rated T)

The coffee is very good. Really. And the cats are so cute. That's why Harry goes so often.

ONE OF MY FAVES OF THE MONTH!! just sweet boys who love cats and grow together and kiss!!!

Cascade by Avonne (18.7k, rated M)

Harry wants to touch, and Draco wants to be touched. If only they could figure it out.

I want to take every 8th year fic in hold them close in my arms because these boys are so sad and fucked up but they keep finding each other and making it work. one of my faves!

Sourdough by academicdisaster (17k, rated M)

Draco writes romance novels and doesn't leave his apartment much. Harry bakes bread and sells it to Draco. Draco is quite weird. Harry might like that.

read tags before reading!!! contains some off screen heavy angst but sooo good. Again, you will always catch me at the scene of a weird little draco fic

Magical Menagerie by DorthyAnn (16k, 7/7, rated T)

Convinced by Hermione to get a new pet, Harry goes to Magical Menagerie and finds it's now owned by Draco Malfoy who has changed since the war… in a good way, a really good way.

sweet weirdo draco you will always have my heart

Said and Unsaid (or, The Value of Knowing When to Stop Talking) by bryoneybrynn (14.8k, 3/3, rated T)

When the Interrogator asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, Draco shook his head, his lips pressed tight in a thin line. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse.

again, love me an 8th year fix-it fic

Slow Show by Avonne (14.7k, rated M)

Harry doesn't know the kind of love that isn't forged in pain. He doesn't understand slow and calm and easy. He can't trust unconditional. After all, how could Draco love him if he's not allowed to sacrifice himself for it? Draco shows him.

I just can't get enough of harry being a self-sacrificing idiot and Draco being the one who can consistently cut through his bs and be like "hey!!! stop that dummy, we all love you (but me especially)"

I'll keep you (safe and sound) by arminaa (13k, 4/4, rated E)

Harry takes temporary custody of Teddy while Andromeda's comatose at St Mungo's after an accident, and Draco, his something-with-benefits, shows up unexpectedly to help.

two awkward boys who don't know how to tell each other they like each other (with baby Teddy!)

Title of Their Sex Tape by Cibee (12k, rated T)

Undercover! Heists! Draco pining for Harry! Harry being oblivious, but also can't help noticing how good Draco smells! Banters and jokes! That's about it.

Brooklyn 99-esque fic with v sweet will they/won't they moments. also the line "“I confess,” Draco said quietly. “That I had hope ... you would choose me this time.”" !!!!!!!

By Any Other Name by dracognition (8k, rated E)

A botched love potion makes it so that everyone in Harry's vicinity is madly in love with him—everyone except Draco, that is.

everyone is in love with Harry, INCLUDING Draco!!! hehehe

Swipe Right by mee4ever (2k, rated G)

Or then one where Harry swipes right, and it turns out Draco does too.

I love their banter/flirting in this one so much!!!

Harry Potter Gets a Job [ART] by dustmouth (106 pages, rated M)

Harry returns home from Romania to find Arthur Weasley has a new apprentice, and there's an extra place set for dinner.

I love this art style and the story is just so perfect, def suggest checking out more by dustmouth if you enjoy this

Made for Me

"James?" Regulus gazed at him, utterly bewildered. What on earth was James Potter doing standing outside his door on Valentine's Day, holding an actual bouquet of flowers?

"Yeah, that's us," James and Regulus turned at the sound of Barty and Evan's voices, each arching a brow, silently urging them to explain.

"We signed you up for the Uni's matchmaking program. My guess is that you got matched with Potter."

"YOU DID WHAT!?" Regulus snapped.

A valentine's day oneshot for @regscupid @magswrite and @spacexcowgirl

thank you for the tag @ecstarry <33 here's some more of get him back ch. 3. james being a menace as always

“Whatcha looking at?” The voice comes from directly above him. Regulus looks up, disbelieving because what are the odds this happens to him again? But no, of course his ears aren’t deceiving him. It’s James, in the flesh, as if lusting after the man on his phone willed him into being. Regulus quickly exits Instagram.  “Jesus what the fuck are you doing here?” Regulus asks, exasperated. “Sorry one second just open your Instagram again?” James is smiling ear to ear and it’s the last thing Regulus wants to see. It seems he’s been found out. He feels his cheeks burning a bit as he tries to explain why he was just stalking James’ profile all the way back to high school. “Fuck off James, I wanted to post that picture Sirius posted and I needed your username so I could tag you.” “Sure Reg but you know the username is right at the top, right? You don’t have to scroll to the bottom of my page to find it.”

valentine's day + writing (today) snippet

tagged for the valentine's one by my darling @regscupid and for the writing one by my love @sixlane <3 i'm posting both in one bc i haven't been writing a lot lately bc of work unfortunately..

this is from oby part 3 !! clearly lmao

“You—” he begins in a croak, a mewl interrupting him almost immediately. “You fuck me so so so good, daddy—” “Yeah? And what else?” Regulus’ face burns, but he’s too fucking gone to feel ashamed. Not like he feels shame often, especially not when he has such a big and nice cock so deep inside him.  “And you—yes, yes, yes—you always keep me so, so full,” Regulus whines, eyes rolling to the back of his head. “You feel so big, and thick, and—fuck, just like that, daddy.” James brings their mouths together with a chuckle, tilting Regulus’ head up with the grip he has on his throat. Regulus opens his mouth with a whimper, unable to reciprocate and simply allowing James to plunge his tongue inside, lapping behind his teeth and at the roof of his mouth, hips snapping ruthlessly at a matching rhythm.  “Look at how good you can be when you want to,” James murmurs into Regulus’ parted lips, in what sounds almost like a growl. “When I make you.”

@jegulus-microfic - october 31 - halloween - 745words

insp by @regscupid october 3rd microfic <3

“Say ‘I am going to abduct you, earthling.’”

“I look stupid.”

“You look properly scary.”

“I have wobbly eyes on my head.”

“Don’t see what one thing has to do with the other, love,” James grins cheekily from behind Regulus in the mirror and then gives him a loud smooch on his cheek.

Regulus rolls his eyes and hopes the green-ish face paint over his nose covers his blush.

“Ready to go, Hazza?” James calls up the stairs.

There’s a giggle from the floor above, a few quiet steps and then Harry jumps down two at a time within sight of them with a loud Grawr.

James playfully jumps in place and clutches his chest with a gasp as Harry erupts into evil snickers.

The young boy comes bounding down the rest of the stairs in his skeleton onesie and black and white face paint that’s only minutely smudged (as of now) and holds up his sweets bucket that his father told him to get from his room. 

This one is distracted fighting to pull his spider legs shoulder straps over his thick coat so Regulus gives Harry a nod and a smirk and reaches his hand out to him, “C’mon. Shoes on and then off we go.”

“Yeah!” Harry yells with elation and passes his plastic pumpkin bucket off to Regulus.

It’s still light outside when they start their walk around the neighborhood.

James tells Harry to look out for the houses with Halloween decoration, anything creepy– candles, spiderwebs, carved pumpkins.

It only takes two houses down the sidewalk before Harry gasps and points at a prettily decorated front door.

James gives his son a warm smile, nodding, telling him to go on, as he snakes an arm around Regulus’ waist, pulling him closer into his side.

It’s not particularly cold but Regulus lets himself melt into James’ ridiculously puffy jacket with a sigh anyways. He’s warm and he smells good, like his cologne and their laundry detergent and the glass of mulled wine they shared before getting ready. 

He burrows further into James’ scarf around his neck as he watches Harry skip up the stairs, two pointy-toothed pumpkins out front, white cotton wool and black, little paper bats adorning the railing.

Harry rings the bell and then hastily presses himself against the outside wall next to the door, holding a finger to his lips as he looks wide-eyed and breathless back at them.

Regulus’ chest feels so full he might burst.

The door opens and a middle aged woman with a witch’s hat peeks around with a bowl of chocolates in her hand.

She has barely time to look confused at James and Regulus before little Harry jumps out of his hiding spot with a shrill, “Trick or treat!”

The woman yelps in a genuine fashion and throws an admonishing look over at him and James as Harry falls into a little giggle fit. “Well, thank goodness I’m no 60 something year old with poor blood pressure,” she says good-naturedly, crouching down in front of Harry with a smile to let him choose his pick. 

Regulus shifts his weight from one foot to the other a little uneasily at the thought of Harry actually giving one of the pensioners in their neighborhood a heart attack.

“As young and fresh as always, Miss Sinistra.” James says with a charming grin.

The woman grumbles a little and fixes James with a look when Harry turns his back to her to join the two of them again, “You fellas should dial it down a notch or two.”

When Regulus looks over again, James seems a little bashful as he smiles brightly, “Noted.”

Satisfied with that, apparently, she softens right up and gives them another pointed look, smug smile on her lips, “Happy Halloween to you.”

“Happy Halloween, dear neighbor,” James responds, squeezing Regulus’ waist knowingly.

Regulus curses quietly, giving Sinistra a wave, smiling strained.

“Happy Halloweeeen,” Harry shouts, racing past them and they quickly turn to follow.

Regulus gnaws on the inside of his lower lip while he feels James radiate with glee next to him, who waits until Harry is further down the sidewalk out of earshot before he leans down and rasps into Regulus ear, “Seems like she didn’t forget the way I fucked you against the window last year, after all.”

Regulus jams his elbow forcefully into James’ side.

The puffy-jacketed bastard doesn’t do much besides chuckle and pull Regulus into a kiss.

thank you for the tags @ecstarry & @honeybcj <3 sending u both kisses !!

here's a lil something from a microfic i'm editing literally right now :)

His fingers dip into the container, scooping up the soothing balm and then smoothing it over Regulus' skin. James is so careful with him, his fingers so gentle as they spread the salve, taking extra care with the tender skin under his arms and over his ribs. James then grabs what’s technically his own shirt—a worn, soft thing that Regulus has claimed as his favorite pajama top—from the ledge of the sink. He helps Regulus slip it over his head, taking advantage of every second Regulus allows him to be so close, to take care of him. "Feeling okay?" James asks once Regulus is settled.

seven sentence sunday

thank you for the tag @lightvialamp <3333

“Do you wanna stay tonight? I’ll sneak you out in the morning,” James offers. “To be honest, with the way Sirius is going tonight, I expect he’ll be so out of it in the morning that he wouldn’t know even if we weren’t sneaky about it." They both chuckle as they look across the room at where Sirius has convinced Remus to dance with him by the fireplace, head thrown back in laughter and hands on Remus’ hips. “Regardless of how out of it he is, I’m not having sex with you when my brother’s in the room,” Regulus says with a roll of his eyes. James chuckles, leaning closer so that his lips brush Regulus’ ear as he says, “Not for sex, you menace. Just sleeping, I promise.”

thank you for the tags @fromagony @ninety-two-bees @sixlane <33 your snippets were all incredible

here's a little bartylily which once again may or may not leave my drafts

Lily was sprawled out beside him, heads close together but bodies angled away. Barty wondered that if someone were to look down on them if they’d look like one strange creature. Lily held up her hand to the sky, fingers spread like she was trying to catch the starlight. “Sometimes I wish I could just stop time and catch my breath for a moment. All the time actually," Lily said to the night sky. “I'm tired of being perceived.” Barty let the words settle between them for a moment. In the end, his curiosity won out. “Even right now?” he asked. Lily dropped her hand next to his so that their pinkies brushed. “No. Not right now.”

Barty is convinced the world hates him. Well, maybe not the world, per se, but definitely his delusional boyfriend. You know, the one who thinks that Barty knows how to fucking bake. “You’re in charge of the cake,” Evan said last night while lying in bed. “Don’t fuck it up or Regulus will hate it.” “Then why did you pick me?” Barty asked, turning his head to his boyfriend. “Why not ask the actual baker? Lily?” “Lily is on the decorating crew.” “Okay? So switch us.” “Lily didn’t want to be in charge of the cake,” Evan replied. “It’s not that hard, just follow the instructions.” “On the box?” “What?” Evan snorted. “The box? Do you really think that Regulus will allow his birthday cake to be something that came out of a box?”

wip (it out!)

share whatever project you're working on right now, except 'project' is incredibly open ended. It could be fic, original writing, playlists, art, crafts, whatever it is you're doing!

thank u for tagging me! @ecstarry @mothbart @bellaxisworld @sanguineerose

James Potter knows he has unusual habits, he is very much aware of himself. And from time to time he thinks its a curse, awareness sure comes with a price and James doesn’t think he is happy to pay.

Maybe this is a bad idea from the beginning, maybe it's not. He doesn’t know, he can’t decide. The only thing he knows is that he can’t stop. It’s too late for that.

Stalking his prince might be the best thing that has happened to him in years. Before him, James was lost. He needed a direction to follow and now that he found it, he knows he can’t lose it.

thank you so much my loves @static-radio-ao3 @xjustakay @imdamagecontrol for tagging me!! mwah <3

i don't think i need to say where this is from.. (slight nsfw)

You’re not gonna fuck James Potter again.  You’re not. Gonna. Fuck James Potter. Again. This continues even after they get off the tube. During the little walk to James’ building. Regulus is still repeating it inside his brain by the time they reach the door of the flat, Sirius pounding on it so aggressively he worries for a second he’ll end up tearing it down.  But then James is opening the door, sporting a blinding grin, dimples already in place. James and his messy hair that he somehow manages to pull off. James and his golden-rimmed glasses resting a bit too low on his nose. James and his crooked nose, which looks rather charming.  It’s enough to make Regulus light-headed. To get him to fucking gulp, his throat so dry it borders on painful. A needy sound claws his way through, but he keeps it down, lips pressed tight and hands curling into fists at his sides.  You’re not gonna fuck James Potter again. You’re not gonna fuck— Regulus’ traitorous eyes slide lower, just to find that the older man is wearing a crop top. Loose and short-sleeved, different from the one Regulus had on a couple of nights ago, but still fucking criminal, showing off his abs and stupidly muscular arms. The sight is made even more painful by the grey sweatpants hanging low on his hips, dark underwear peeking through the waistband.  There’s so much brown skin on display. So much of James’ body he didn’t get to see last time, because they were in a car, and it was dark, and James barely got to undress before he was pushing his cock inside Regulus. James had been too busy making him feel good, both of his hands occupied. One of them gripping his waist, harsh enough to leave marks, and the other between them, fingers rubbing relentlessly on his clit.  Regulus blinks, cheeks warm.   Oh, I’m so fucking James Potter again.

smut warning :)

The other man makes a high-pitched strangled noise. Something panicky, high in his throat, and he fists the sheets over his head where he can manage to grab- to hold on. Regulus smirks at his efforts. Sinks his chin down to capture one of his pebbled nipples between his lips. James shouts. “Reg,” a whimper, his head rutting against the pillow uselessly, “Reg, I- ah ‘m gonna– I can’t,” a sob. Regulus groans against his sweaty skin. “Yeah, you can, baby,” he growls. Hoists James’ leg over his shoulder to have another free hand. Leans back down to take the hard nub in his mouth and kneads James’ pec. Keeps sucking on the nipple relentlessly as James wails. Squeezes his eyes shut tight and there are tears slipping out and fuck.
