#remus regulus friendship is underrated

[arggghhhsstuff]

headcanon that peter used to bite his nails, so much he couldn't open fruits like tangerines anymore and was very insecure about it. headcanon that james saw it, but didn't say anything. instead, he would eat tangerines more often than usual and hand it one open to peter.

[marvelomadness06]

Headcannon that Peter and Remus were as close James and Sirius were

Headcannon that Peter took the blame for the prank because he knew that it would break Remus if he were ever to know the truth

Headcannon that James had no idea, as Peter had found Sirius first after the incident

Headcannon that Peter was completely outlawed by everyone but Sirius, and even he could barely get away with talking to him without raising suspicion

Headcannon that he was eventually forgiven but never quite treated and trusted as one of the group ever again

Headcannon that Peter grew resentful and bitter over the course of time, which led to his eventual betrayal of James and Lily

Headcannon that when Sirius was dragged away to Azkaban by the aurors, he was no longer laughing manically, but sobbing hysterically

‘I’m sorry Pete, it should’ve been me, I’m so sorry’

So:

I mostly opened this account to talk about Harry Potter with other fans. I need potterhead friends I’m begging you, take pity on me.

Stuff I’m constantly thinking about:

✨ We don’t judge here, every ship is welcome

✨But if it’s gay better

✨ I love the golden trio, I won’t stand for ANY kind of SLANDER, not of Ron, not of Hermione, least of all Harry. They are human, and they are good friends with flaws who love each other very much. They are growing up, grieving, taking care of each other and learning about life. I adore their friendship, and fanfics that give a realistic portrayal of their relationship will always be a soft spot of mine.

✨ Hot take: If you have any fanfic recommendation where they are romantically together (the three of them, as in an actual relationship), I would appreciate it very much

✨ Drarry (please) 🥵

✨ Wolfstar (they are my parents) 🐾🌒

✨ Jegulus (depending on the mood) Jegulily thooo 👀

✨ Tomarry? I’M A SLUT FOR TOMARRY (please I need more time travel fanfic recommendations) Some very good ones tho:

Terrible, but Great.

you belong to me (i belong to you).

Of Kings, of Pawns, and of Men. (This one is not time trivel per se but its AMAZING I’m telling ya)

Wear me like a locket around my throat

(all of them are in ao3)

✨ My boy Harry is incredibly underrated on his own series. He is amazing, I love him, I wish him all the happiness in the world. WE NEED MORE FANFICS WHERE THEY PORTRAY ALL HIS MENTAL STRUGGLES AND GRIEVING PROCESSESS. (He’s gone through so much, I don’t buy the way canon just swept everything under the rug and moved on)

✨ Draco Malfoy is a power bottom and you can’t change my mind

✨ Support sophithil on insta

✨ Another soft spot of mine? Fanfics where Harry time travels to a time where his parents are alive or a different dimension all together.

To make it better

Devil’s White Knight

Across the universe

You’re somebody else

(all in ao3 except Across the universe, that’s a short story in fanfic.net)

Other recommendations

✨ My bedtime readings are hardcore Drarry smut with some very questionable dom/sub dynamics

✨ Canon Remus was a bit of a people pleaser with no personality, but I forgive him because fanon, obviously

✨Canon James Potter was a dick, but I forgive him too. He did change a bit after Hogwarts, but I keep hoping he would’ve matured more if he’d had the chance to grow up into an actual adult

✨ Aaron Taylor Johnson and every other version of James Potter is mine, no arguments

✨ NO SNAPE SLANDER. He is an amazing character, and a very complex one at that. He is not supposed to be a good person, but a complicated one with a gray set of values. Y’all do not understand that, and I’m tired of watching Marauders stans be so fucking hypocritical when it comes to him.

Crime and Punishment (an amazing severitus fic on ao3)

✨ August, Cardigan and Betty are about these three idiots (Lily, James and Regulus) and you can’t change my mind

✨ Here’s a Marauders playlist:

✨ my pinterest :)

underrated marauders friendships

ok, yes James and Sirius. Yes Remus and Lilly, yes Regulus and Barty.

but can we stop for a minute and consider Remus and James, Sirius and Lilly, Sirius and Mary, Peter and Remus, and, my personal contraversial one... Remus and Regulus

I just think we all need me RegRem content.

[strznringz]

Sometimes I love the marauders friendships more than the ships itself like hello??

Marlene,Peter & James (practically siblings)

Regulus & pandora (platonic soulmates)

Sirus & mary (underrated besties)

Lily & remus (also platonic soulmates!!!)

[everwalldigan]

Short introduction to my fanfic!

-set in the summer after Sirius’ 5th year prank on Snape

A kind of character study of Sirius’ self-destructive behaviour and following how he’s going to navigate his relationship to himself, Remus, James and Regulus.

Lots of wolfstar angst, black brothers angst and lots of underrated friendships (Remus&Lily, Remus&James, Lily&Sirius, Marlene&James, etc.).

Happy ending including jily and wolfstar :))

Thanksvember 2022

Shoutouts to some amazing fics and fic writers! Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into your work!! Your fics mean the world to me and have gotten me through the past year. I can’t thank you enough <3 This year’s list is definitely going to contain a lot of Regulus stuff bc that’s my current fixation! So, here's a list of some of my favorite fics that I've read over the past year:

November 1 - As Soon As He Can by Trex_Patronus (ao3). This beautiful fic is what sent me down the Regulus Black rabbit hole bc it was so good that I wanted more. The Black brothers angst? The trauma? The healing? It’s all *chefs kiss*. Everything I could want and more ✨ oh, and it’s now completed with 62 chapters ✨

November 2 - I see how this all ends (poorly) by @quillium . I think that Seer!Regulus is one of my favorite kinds of Regulus characterizations, and this fic is the reason. The balance of angst and fluff in this fic is absolute perfection. The characterizations? The relationships? The evolutions of every character? Absolutely amazing✨ (I've reread the Sirius-meets-sleepy-Reg-and-gang-in-the kitchen scene at least 20 times bc its so ajsfbfsk!!! <3)

November 3 - Follow in her paw prints by @scottish-purple-shrubbery . I adore this fic, because what more could I want from this world than McGonagall taking Regulus in and giving him a path that doesn’t lead to an early death? 10/10, would recommend, we stan having healthy adult figures who actually care abt children as more than pawns✨ ♥️

November 4 - A Thing Like Stars in the Dark by toliveinthesky (ao3). Who doesn’t love a good “what if Reg survived the cave” story? Sprinkled with Black brothers interaction, Reg playing with baby Harry, being in love with a muggleborn 😍 I’m not usually a huge fan of OCs, but Reg/Maggie 🫶 I love this fic so much

November 5 - Live Fast, Die Young, Leave a Pretty Corpse by atta_boy (ao3). This fic is so underrated. I LOVE IT SO MUCH (I mean, Sirius thinking Reg is dead, only to hear about a muggle model named “Aster An” who looks just like him? *chefs kiss*) The irony of a disguise being the truest version of yourself is beautifully written in this fic. I need more ppl to read it (and join the discord 👀) so y’all can fangirl over it w me

November 6 - He Can’t Hurt You if You’re Already Dead by @unspeakable3 . So, yeah, I think I’m obsessed with the Ghost!Regulus concept?? I love everything about this fic — the chracterization, the internality, the mix of fluff and angst ♥️ You have no idea how many times I just randomly think of Reg folding Sirius’ clothes to “haunt” him or hiding inside a vase or being scared Dumbledore will exorcise him 💀

November 7 - In the fires of our youth (oh, brother of mine) by @quynhorlose . The writing! The art! I'm obsessed with everything about it, from the format that includes articles & poster style chapters, to the content of Regulus-and-Remus friendship and the Padfoot & Prongs band.

November 8 - We are all stardust by @rrosie08 . I have mentioned that I love Seer!Regulus, right? That, combined with Ravenclaw!Regulus, Black brothers angst, Reg having an awesome friend group, and Jegulus and Wolfstar drama is just *chefs kiss*. The scene where Reg just broke up with his bf and is crying and gets his first detention bc of Sirius on his birthday has been on constant replay in my brain. <3

November 9 - There is another sky (--Ever serene and fair) by llamallamaduck (ao3). This fic is everything I could ever want and more out of a "black brothers run away together" story. They travel the world, and I LOVE all the different magical systems & cities. All of the concepts in this story, along with all the emotions (angst! fluff! everything!), make this one of the best black brothers fics. I still haven't read the last chapter (I'm sad it'll be over!) but I'm so excited to read it too. Definitely recommend!

November 10 - Kill Your Darlings by MesserMoon (ao3). Marauders era meets college ice hockey in this amazing fic. I love all the tension, like the complexities of Evan and Peter's characters, Regulus working through his internalized homophobia, and ofc the extreme gayness <3 Deaf Remus! Jegulus! Rosekiller! Evan and Reg being roommates and becoming besties!

November 11 - Best Friend's Brother by @zeppazariel . This is one of the first Jegulus fics I read, and it dragged me down the Jegulus rabbit hole that I will stay in forever. This fic was amazing. It made me laugh and cry, and I felt like I also went through the raw emotional rollercoaster of a journey that Regulus and Sirius and Remus and James experienced. It's so beautifully written, and it felt healing? Like I have a lot of crappy childhood trauma, and it felt like this fic was me working through it Definitely recommend if you haven't read it yet (or if you're thinking about maybe trying your first Jegulus fic). Be warned: Angst! Feels! Drama! Working through trauma! Aka everything I adore <3

November 12 - I Didn't Catch Your Name by @kachwoww . This fic!! OK so basically, James & Reg hook up, but in the morning James asks Reg his name and Reg leaves without telling him. James, ofc, is obsessed and is searching for Reg. Meanwhile, Reg left the paper that Sirius (his estranged brother) gave him with his phone number at James' house, and panics about how he lost it. Basically they're all freaking out, Reg and Remus are librarian flatmates, Pandora and Lily are dating, Sirius and Remus are dating, and... yeah! It's #Drama and I'm hooked.

November 13 - The Marauders read 'Harry Potter' by SilverShadow1 (ao3). It's been a while since I read this types of fics, but this one!! Basically James, Regulus, Sirius, Remus, Peter, & Lily read the books & react, but it's set in a Jegulus & Wolfstar world and the fic dives into their pasts (through flashbacks and their reactions to different events) and their relationships with each other evolve throughout. The series is currently on PoA (so I have a lot of hope that it'll continue)! I've been hooked since the beginning and love seeing it update.

November 14 - i got wasted (like all my potential) by ascxlla (ao3). I love the Slytherin skittle shenanigans in this fic! Regulus interacting with Sirius-as-a-dog without knowing it's Sirius 🥹 It's a "I'm doomed so fuck it" fic and I love that. Want to explore the forbidden forest at night to get a cat? Do it! Want to kiss your friend for funsies? Do it!

November 15 - Hush Hush by @crippledgoddess . This fic was one of my main obsessions this summer. There are so many iconic moments, like drunk Reg flirting with James, or Reg just saying stuff like "You know what James looks good in? Me" to make everyone uncomfortable, that I ADORE. There's a lot of angst and feels, but I'm hoping for a happy ending (please!!) and I really enjoy the writing!

November 16 - Your Stars are True by Penelope_Muir (ao3). Sirius and Regulus haven't been close in years, so Sirius checks up on his brother by coming to him as Padfoot (though Reg thinks he might be a Grim). It's so cute and sad at the same time 😭 The scene where James tries to follow Sirius to see where he goes every night, only to have to transform into Prongs and Reg is like "oh you brought a friend?" to the dog is ingrained in my mind forever!

November 17 - with my back to the shoreline, i dreamed that he drowned by onceuponalazy (ao3). My favorite "James gets amnesia and can't recall the life he built with Regulus" fic. The pain Regulus is in, knowing that he loves a man who no longer knows him and doesn't even know that their son (Harry) exists 😭 It's beautifully written, and I love how James and Reg's relationship evolves and heals ♥️

November 18 - Confessions Under a Pride Flag by 55_cents_in_nickels (ao3). Supportive coming out black brothers fluff + asexual biromantic Regulus Black (which I read during my "questioning if I'm on the aroace spectrum" crisis period) = amazing fic that I love so so much. Yes, I am capable of loving something besides angst It's a comfort read that's close to my heart <3

November 19 - Burden of Duty by Grey_Kenaz (ao3). Aroace sex-repulsed Regulus Black meets Sirius in St Mungos after trying to figure out how to conceive with his (arranged marriage) fiancée. Sirius helps Reg figure out that there's nothing wrong with him and accept himself 🫶 We love supportive Black brothers!

November 20 - i can feel you slipping away (like the sunlight at the end of the day) by @casualmaraudering. This fic is so good! It's fluffy and angsty in all the right ways. Contains: Dumbledore critique bc fuck him, Black brothers have a strong bond, Reg grieving, aroace Regulus, a baby, and Sirius giving Regulus a hug. The writing is so good and the rollercoaster of emotions this fic takes you on is incredible ❤

marauders friendship dynamics (imo)

Sirius & Peter: UNDERRATED AF!! i hate the whole “sirius hated peter” hc bcuz they were ALL besties for me. big brother younger brother vibes. like teasing and rough-housing and consensual bullying type of thing. but also super overprotective?? “you hurt my brother, i will gouge your eyes out”, but both of them would say it.

Mary & Marlene: complete queens. i feel like the line of platonic romantic would be super blurry for them. definitely hooked up at least once. they were each others wing women!! mary was also the most supportive mf out there and marlene would be up anyone who talked shit about her.

Dorcas & Barty: murder besties. talking shit and gossiping and spreading rumours the whole shebang. these two were the mean girls of hogwarts. stubborn af, so when they have long arguments, everyone knows. always each others back up.

James & Alice: very cliche brother-sister relationship. overprotective immature himbo bro trying his best, naïve angry&short sis trying to get on with her life. like in cliche teen movies. james taught alice how to not take anyones shit. “how do you know how to fight?” “i have an older brother” trope that i dont really like but theyre amazing enough that i do.

Lily & Sirius: supportive👏rivals👏. arguments over the most stupid shit. best hair club. staying up late with each other. not allowed to play monopoly together. ever. wine pals. when one of them loose the arguments, theyre going to be super butthurt. dramatic bitches.

Regulus & Dorcas: dorcas being reguluss parent. “fuck it, im your mum now.” “dorcas youre only a year older than me.” “IM YOUR MUM NOW.” debates over politics. evil smiles over tea. teaching each other random skills. vibing to Fleetwood Mac. chill arguments. PASSIVE AGRESSIVENESS.

Remus & Peter: books. snacks. procrastination. sunshine and sunshine protector. hiding away from other kids in the kitchens. quietly roasting other students right in front of them. smartest prank ideas. 

Marlene & Pandora: ginnyluna friendship. overprotective girlies. accepting all of pandoras quirks no questions asked. “calm down, marlene. it means nothing to me.” “I WILL NOT CALM DOWN YOU DONT HURT MY PLANT GIRL”. care of magical creatures and divination buddies.

[theinvisiblemuseum]

for the duo thing!! Regulus and Remus (I'd like to hear your thoughts on their relationship!!)

for the jegulus fic thing, I really like The blood in your mouth on ao3 by moonysmirrorball, but please read the tags first!

about the Sirius tattoo dissertation: it's me I'm interested parties (take your time!!!) <33

regulus and remus are one of my faveeeee underrated dynamics!! fics that include them having some sort of relationship (mainly friendship but i’m cautiously open to the idea of romantic reg/remus) are always sooo good

i just looked up the fic and OMG it’s sooo my thing! funnily enough i’m actually reading an assassin regulus au currently because my killing eve obsessed heart needed it after that finale (💔) but i’m adding this one to my list as well because as far as im concerned there should be a million assassin regulus fics

send me a duo!

[jegulus-trash]

“never have I ever had a brother run away from home, date one of said brother’s best friends, dress like a vampire and have a breakdown over non aesthetic shoes~”

- Remus Lupin, pulling out all the nasty tricks from his sleeve to win Never Have I Ever with Regulus Black

[whataloadofqueers]

underrated marauders era friendships i think about way too often :

dorcas & remus : coffee at 3am, discussing the weirdest theories for hours, exchanging books, trying to best each other grades, the only ones in the group who kept astrology

peter & mary : pottery, baking together, herbology partners, bets on their friends' relationships, talking about their crushes, gossip

james & marlene : breakfast together because they're up early, endless discussions about quidditch strategies, push up contests, knowing how to cheer up the other every time

remus & peter : playing chess instead of studying, pulling pranks on james and sirius, shared secret chocolate stash, getting high with hufflepuffs near the greenhouses

lily & mary : muggle magazines and boys bands, sharing every clothes in their closets, unstoppable laughing, makeup and hair advice, each other first kiss

sirius & frank : frank acting like sirius' big brother, gossiping about teachers, quidditch advice, keeping each other's anxiety in check, back claps and ruffling sirius' hair

alice & lily : leading a study group to help you get students, healing lessons with poppy pomfresh, summers spent together because they live in the same town, dated for a while

james & peter : childhood best friends, watching muggle horror movies, stupid dares at any given time, were schooled together before hogwarts, cooking each other comfort foods

lily & sirius : bonding over fucked up siblings relationships, listening to abba and queen, coming out to each other and understanding they're not alone or broken, complaining about james and remus, eyeliner

dorcas & pandora : researching rowena ravenclaw's story in the library, making everyone astrology charts, tasting the weird potion they just made, trying to invent a new spell, lavender essential oil

regulus & barty : talking shit about everyone, consoling each other after getting letters from their parents, going to the library in hogsmeade, skipping history of magic for no reason, so much mutual pinning

regulus & pandora : ennemies to friends, reluctant friendship from regulus, utter enthusiasm from pandora, walks around the lake, giving each other little gifts for no specific reason, love/hate relationship with their parents, crystals

sirius & marlene : faking fights for fun, gay exes, saving each other a dance at balls, sharing a leather jacket, red nail polish, relationship advice, staring contests, stealing food from the kitchen

remus & james : "go to bed" "you're not my mom james", remus being james' number one fan during quidditch matches, fighting for the first place in transfiguration class, talking about the future

regulus & remus : studying in silence, keeping their friendship a secret, talking about sirius, lots and lots of tea, fake death stares when other people are around, comfortable silence

lily & remus : falling asleep in the common room, partners in every class they share, conversations without even saying a word, annotating each other books, falling asleep on each other shoulder

gideon & fabian : class clowns, running in corridors, secret handshake, besties with the house elves, having tea with hagrid, the only ones who dare talk to the bloody baron

james & sirius : invented a secret language, late night secrets, sharing a bed, fighting for the last dessert, end up sharing it, the kind of complicity that makes everyone else feel left out, the two way mirrors

peter & marlene : secret quidditch training sessions so peter could get on the team, history nerds, dad jokes, spending all their money in zonko, share a crush on mrs rosmerta

sirius & regulus : making faces across the diner table, playing hide and seek in grimauld place, sleeping in the same bed after a nightmare, reading to each other in the big big library, meaningful looks during family parties

marlene & remus : pushing each other to make the first move with their respective crushes, motivational speech in the morning, "you're staring at her" "omg shut up lupin", the mean friends but never on purpose, sarcastic af

[mssrsmoon]

Okay you know what is such an underrated friendship: Remus and Regulus.

Like I feel like they would really like each other: undoubtedly respect each other. They would understand each other so well and not at all at the same time bc they are such a mess lol.

Like choices remus is right now the only one who knows regulus is not completely on the death eaters side - Remus knows about how regulus knew the death eaters would meet the order at the ministry and didn’t say anything ahhhh
