#sad regulus black

[ifonlyicouldbeastar]

”havent i given enough? given enough? always the fool” is regulus not sirius. because regulus followed the rules. he stayed quite he never spoke out of turn. he did what was asked of him with little to no hesitation. he hated it but that didn’t mean he acted out. but in the end it got him no where in life. no brother. no friends. nobody to love him.

A piece of a fanfic I will probably never finish p2

Regulus fault was that he didn’t expect it.

He was prepared for his mothers hand. He always was. It was at the back of his mind at all times. Never leaving him alone. He was prepared for his mothers hand. The consequences of his actions weighing down on him before they even happened.

And when he stood there, with courage he had been gathering for years, he knew his mother wouldn’t be happy. But regulus also knew he could do it. He had done it before. Sort of, when it was more childish stupidity than bravery. A mouth he hadn’t learned to keep shut yet.

He had paid his entire childhood for it.

Now things were different. He was prepared for two options. The one where his mother let him stay, for petty reasons or the hope that he would “snap out of it” again. maybe even so that they wouldn’t look bad because they lost both their children, but that was petty too.

And the other one, the most likely one. Where she would kick regulus out of the house and disown him. Even for that he was prepared. In any way regulus didn’t expect to leave unbruised

But Regulus, like a fool, didn’t even consider the third option.

When you’re staring a hyena in the eyes. You don’t think about the snakes in the grass.

He expected sharp nails, sharp teeth and sharp heels. Not a python crawling on the ground, ready to cut off any and all air supply from its prey. Letting it suver slowly.

When his mother raised her hand. Cutting trough the air to hit his cheek. He dodged. Turned his head away, something he never dared to dream of before. His brother would have been so proud. In that small moments regulus thought about a better world. Where his mother wasn’t able to hurt him anymore. Where he would look back at this moment as the turning point. Its gonna get better now.

Then the blow hit. He stumbled back. His breath was taken from his grasp. Regulus wheezed and croaked. Backing away until he tripped over a pair of shoes and landed on the ground.

“Come on, take it like a man, girl.” His father mocked. A sneer on his face as he looked down at his child.

“Stand up and take me like a man.” He demanded.

Regulus had tried.

He had stood up, and been nocked down again. But he hadn’t given up.

Regulus stood up again and again, until his legs gave out, and his breath was shaking, until his face was bruised and his ribs broken. Until his shoulder was dislocated and his nose fractures.

Until his fusion blurt and everything went black

Regulus kept looking for his sunshine long after James was gone.

And it did hurt actually.

(sorry eeyore)

Jegulus pero "Ven a mí" de floricienta

Yo te vi llorar cuando nadie te miraba, escondiendo esa lágrimas que se te escapaba

Yo te vi tan triste y tan sólito, que hubiera dado mi vida por curarte las heridas

Ven a mi

Te cuidare

Te besare esos ojitos tan dulces

Y calmare la pena que tu alma lleva

Por dios ven a mi

Te buscare

Y te amare como nadie en la tierra te amo

Ven a mi

Imagine Regulus begging Kreacher to tell Sirius that he’s sorry when he’s drinking the potion in the cave. Like he doesn’t beg to stop drinking, just to make sure his brother knows he’s sorry.

James, married: *giggles behind blanket* so who do u have a crush on?

Regulus, his husband of 10 years: oh for fuck sake

[moonymiel]

regulus is one of the best characters ever to be protagonist of a love story because he’s so prickly and detached on the outside but his inner monologue when he sees someone he likes is literally just please love me back please love me back please never leave even when i try to make you please hold me please love be back- like how is that not foundation for the Best kind of pining in a story

Creon - Polynices was a rebel and a traitor, and you know it.

i want james potter who just when he starts dating regulus/lily, is so surprised when the actually want to hang out with him, have dates with him which dont just lead to having sex.

the first time the decide to have a sleepover, things begin to escalate, and after james declines, he makes out to leave, hes told that its fine if they dont have sex, not everything has to end with sex.

and james is just like 🧍‍♂️ when hes told that his worth is not defined by his body. hes so confused because his previous partners always complimented his toned body as they traced their fingers all over them, but when now hes praised for his mind, eyes, heart and soul, he finds that once empty feeling replaced by an ooey gooey one, and he realised oh. this is what love is supposed to feel like.

Sirius Black would wear a shirt that says "best dogfather ever" at Harry's birthday because him and James thinks it's hilarious and would laugh their ass off.

A piece of a fic I will probably never finish

“Why did you marry him?” He knows he shouldn’t ask. Mother had stabled every manner in the book to him. Never asking rude questions was the one he decided to not listen to at the moment. Narcissa let out a sigh. Somewhere between disappointment and pity.

“We have talked about this doll, I love him.” They both knew she was lying through her teeth.

“No, you don’t.” He was slightly frustrated now. Narcissa had to realise it wasn’t true. Just once. She shouldn’t live a lie.

“I do, reg. I don’t know why but I’d do.” And something in the way she said it made it all fit. She knew, she had known for years they didn’t love each other. She said it, not to make her believe, but to make him believe.

Because Narcissa, Regulus and even Bellatrix didn’t know love. Not the happie kind, the healthy kind. They knew a love that was given everything you have and took everything possible. They knew love with condition, I’ll love you if. Love with restrictions, no one can love you if. They didn’t know, I’ll love you even if. They had no one to teach it to them. Andromeda learned, Sirius learned. Yet they didn’t stick around to teach them.

So when they love it’s demolishing. Narcissa loves Regulus, she loves her parents. In their world that means giving everything you have. Friends, relationships and beliefs. All just to show him that there is a possibility for a happy life living like this. Pretending she is not miserable. In return Regulus is to do the same. Pretend to be happy so her efforts aren’t wasted. For Narcissa and Bella, maybe he’ll be able to do it too. Maybe if the dirt stopped gathering and insects stopped crawling. Maybe if the thought of losing his breath completely wasn’t on top of his mind. Maybe then he could.

effie used to let james ‘help’ her to cook while he was growing up, but he always made much more of a mess than actually helping. when regulus moved in, he offered to help effie as a way to give something back, and she taught him everything she knew, recipes and all!

when she died, regulus started cooking for james. it took one dish of effie’s special pasta to send james into a breakdown, because his mum might be gone, but her legacy lives on.

in another life we were given the chance to learn how to be brothers again...

I’m hearing a lot of “what if James convinced Regulus to run away” and not a lot of “what if Regulus convinced James to run away”
