Summary: Regulus wants nothing more than to be with you forever, but you know some things are just more important.

𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨: Angst with sad ending, established relationship, Character death, regulus is lovesick.

A/N: I love writing about regulus, he's my first ever harry potter love. and he deserved sm better (I was also listening to "two birds on a wire" while writing this, kinda made me cry)

Ever since third year, Regulus black knew he was hopelessly in love with you, ever since the day in the library…he knew by the way his heart and face burned in your presence. how his hands shook when you passed him a book, by the way your eyes imprinted into his gray ones. it was only two years into the relationship when he proposed, and obviously. you said yes.

and now, fresh in school holidays. last year at Hogwarts, you stayed at one of his parents villas’

“Regulus?” your voice was similar to angel, and Regulus is sure that if you told him you were from the heavens, he’d believe you. “Yes, my love?” his hand grazing yours under the table of the kitchen. he took you in. clothes that fit you perfectly, hair in a ponytail, glasses hung down the bridge of your nose. “Oh nothing…you just seemed, deep in thought?” you smiled, continuing to read the book you’d been ranting about. while he just watched you.

“i suppose that would be correct”

its true…Regulus Black, Loves you, and there is only one thing stopping him from running away with you forever. the cursed tattoo that he tried deeply to scrub away. not that he would ever tell you that, you knew about it of course. in fact, you decided to make ‘light’ of the ‘dark’ mark. so to speak.

you embraced it, you adored him anyway. which was all he could ask for.

But what he hadn’t been telling you, was that he planned to steal and destroy Voldemort’s, Horcrux. meaning there is a chance he would not come back to you, his biggest fear.

and when the night had finally arrived, he started to doubt everything. as he stared at you in bed, tears started to well. Regulus Black, would be leaving you all alone. in the world without him…

“Reg? come back to bed…” you whispers through sleep, arm reaching out for him. and when he did not take it, you opened your eyes. “Baby?” glancing at his outfit, he seemed he’d be going somewhere. “where are you going, reg?”

“To see my brother, ill be back soon” it was shameful lying to you, the biggest sin ever. “Okay, well…tell him I said “hi”, I love you. be safe please” then going back to sleep, as quick as possible.

"I love you...so much"

how did you trust him? maybe he’d still be here if you said something different

maybe if you just asked him to stay, he would’ve. knowing Regulus…he actually might have if you asked.

but he didn’t come back, ever. part of you had to know he was acting strangely lately, you just wanted nothing more than to grow old with him...stomach clenching at the thought, the only thing to remember him by, were a few photos and drawings of him.

Maybe if you had said something, acted differently? Regulus would be in your arms, kissing you and telling you “everything will be alright”

however, everything isn’t alright.

and it wouldn’t be for awhile…but thats ‘okay’

“It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.”- Miguel De Unamuno.

[reggie-kin-forever]

Okay so i love the trope ‘loves person A like it’s breathing’ and person A ‘thinks they’re unloveable’ especially for jegulus but i want to switch it up. What if it’s james who thinks he is unloveable.

Hear me out: James potter who has the biggest heart in the world and is friends with almost everybody who give out his love, no conditions and he loves that about himself, but then he slowly start to hate that part of himself and that’s where the problem starts.

He started to hate that part of himself after he noticed how he’s make plans with sirius or lily or marlene a week in advance and on the day of, sometimes minutes before, they’d call or text and cancel because they have other things to do with other people that ‘just came up’ and it’s always such a melancholy experience to have had plans with his friends played out ready to go and excited and for them to just cancel.

At first he told himself that they were just busy, or that he was okay with it but he remembers days where marlene really needed help trying to impress dorcas on a date and he dropped everything leading to him being up until 4 in the morning working on a potions essay, or when he and remus were meant to go study in the library because James was falling behind in transfiguration because he didn’t want Minnie to know and then Sirius intercepted them and said that “studying is boring” and so they all decided to go do something fun and james dropped a letter, causing Minnie to pull him after class and have a talk.

It really was just small things but as time went on he noticed more. More how when he tried to make plans his friends would say yes and then never show because they ‘forgot’ or wanting to hang out, even if it was just sitting in silence together and they would say that they couldn’t for whatever reason. At first he tried to reason that he made plans with everybody so often that well they just didn’t consider canceling one hangout was that big a deal, and it wasn’t. But after the 5th time in a row lily canceled on there weekly tea and book, where james made tea and lily told him about what book she was reading because he found literature so astounding he himself was just unable to sit and read them, the idea kinda just swam off in his train of thought.

Slowly he stopped asking his friends to hangout and they didn’t seem to notice. He kept giving them the love from himself but he could hardly ever pinpoint exactly where anyone else was giving him the love right back. It was enough for him to be unable to believe in love. His own friends seem to be actively pulling away from him and it is just so daunting that he had no idea what to do.

And then there’s Regulus. Regulus black. Slytherin house’s Casanova. The boy who received at least 3 marriage proposals a day. The boy who is known for his stubbornness, and resilience, and his celibacy. Most think it’s because of his family name and knowing that he’ll be married off to someone which is why he doesn’t date, but the truth is that from the moment he stepped into hogwarts the only person he has ever been able to look at his golden boy James Potter. James Potter who is captain of the quidditch team. James potter who is nice and friendly to about anything that moves. James potter who even though fits the stereotype of an empty headed jock to a tea is #4 in his graduating class rank right behind Lily Evans.

It really was astounding to anyone who might sit and ponder just how it happened. James potter the boy who is willing to love everyone and everything even if it kills him, and Regulus Black, the boy wanted by almost everyone in school but rejects them all in favor of his own time, end up together.

Well one day after james felt extraordinary left out he went to the astronomy tower to watch as the starts in the night fled from sight, just out of reach for the one thing they were chasing after. He sat there for a while, probably 2 hours. He wondered if his friends noticed he was gone, it was only 7 o’clock when he left. By the time it was 8 a body sat down next to him. He didn’t bother looking over, assuming it was sirius by the black hair he could see in his peripheral.

“What’s up stranger?” it was a voice he was unfamiliar with, and far to smooth the be sirius’. He looked over at the boy and saw what he could only determine as a greek god sent down from above to give him the gift of true beauty for once in his life.

It really was an odd situation to those who may ask. They had no idea how james the fun loving idiot was the one self conscious of himself and how the stubborn genius was the one who protected him with all he had in his body.

After harry was born he was told the story 2 different ways, from both parents’ point of view.

Regulus told a story of a beautiful popular boy, locked away in his own head, afraid that he gave too much love for anyone to soak up logically. Then came alone his sponge with Black hair and gray eyes who was willing to give him the world even if it meant the end of all things.

James tells it that he was sad one night and a greek god with tantalizing gray eyes hypnotized him into falling in love in an instant, and he never had to worry about being unloved again.

Harry grew up seeing unconditional love at its very core. The little they did fight, was never serious and when it was, it never faltered how much they loved and respected each other. It’s the love written out in muggle love story’s and it’s the love everyone wishes to achive

[florsial]

Hey bestie I’m trial and erroring a Rabastan design and I’m struggling so what does he look/dress like in your gorgeous mind because no one gets him like you do

Hello :D and thank youu <3333

Okay, I have been thinking about his appearance from time to time. the main consistent detail is that he isn't very "sleazy" in looks. He's pretty put together. He is wearing an expensive suit, maybe a couple buttons undone, and a loose tie with those shiny black loafers, but overall he's pretty clean. His most casual would be dress pants and button up that's kinda undone.

(HIS FANCY STYLE GETS REGULUS SO GIDDY!!! Like if you ever saw those photos of someone standing on their s/o feet THATS SO THEMMM)

I've been torn over having him with long hair or short hair. But in the end, shorter hair is more fitting for him, I think. In a way that expresses that he doesn't have the luxury of keeping his hair long like Rodolphus if he's constantly fighting for something. So I imagine something like the short wavy hair you see when you search it up on Pinterest for men (don't ask me how I know that). When I first sketched him out, I gave him long hair but it didn't fit.

I couldn't find a proper description in the HP wiki nor do I remember what he is described as in the books when he first shows up. Only that is a thin man. So I think his face is slightly sunken in and his entire body is pretty lanky. And he's pretty tall (HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND REGULUS HEIGHT DIFFERENCE!!). His hair and eyes are both pretty dark and his skin is a little tan since I actually see him as a very outdoorsy person and amazing, like, really smooth without blemishes (for some reason).

(Pandora starts breaking out when she hit puberty and she contemplates torturing Rabastan's skincare out of him) (he has none)

Don't take this as seriously, but I picture something like Victor from The Corpse Bride (I've never seen that movie honestly) but yk, just for fun lol.

He doesn't have this overly messy style because he's like this black sheep (Like Sirius or Barty) because of his mother's family influence. With his maternal (a side branch from Averys), he's very well dressed and groomed, they made sure of that! The Avery side of his family loves him, though it's partly because Rabastan looks/acts more like his mother.

This brings up another thing that is: he is very much a jewelry person. His suits, expensive but plain, are often decorated and slightly weighted down by layered necklaces with heavier stones and real metals and his fingers are more cold than warm by silver rings. He got his ear pierced at a young age and has so many passed down from his mother, like all his other jewelry. In a way, all of that seems almost like armor that covers/protects him.

Side note: HE WOULD'VE WIPED THE FUCKING FLOOR WITH THOSE SILVER FINGER GUARDS!

He would've HATED cheap jewelry and when mood rings were released in 1975, he choked when he saw Sirius wearing one for the first time. Rodolphus and Regulus almost called a healer because he was turning blue. (Sirius bought more out of spite after that)

Modern Au Rabastan would have a Rolex collection. I said what I said.

I know I bring up suits when wizarding folk don't wear that so, his robes are often plainer (compared to Rodolphus, keep that in mind) but still pretty expensive looking with complex embroidery. His more extravagant robes came from his mother (since I don't think that size mattered all that much between men and women or boys and girls). Cliche moment, but his clothes were very much darker in color, but not always black. More like a darker purple or a darker blue or green, I'm thinking something like what you would get when you use velvet, how colors are almost really shiny or almost black.

I can also see him using makeup! Though very light I think he's very open and knowledgeable about a lot of things since he was basically treated as a doll by his mother's twin sister :D

how i percieve jegulus along the hogwarts years

First year:

Sirius' youngest brother's entrance at Hogwarts was sort of the event the Marauders were waiting for since the past year. Sirius wouldn’t stop chattering about it, but he seemed kinda disappointed when Regulus wasn't put in Gryffindor like him, and neither seemed to be willing to meet his new friends.

As Remus and Peter accepted Regulus' refusal of their friendship well, James was a little amused by the youngest Black, with his curly hair and his red cheeks. "How can he be so similar and so different from Sirius?" James thought. And he noticed that the mere glance of Regulus would cause the same sensation in him as Lily’s smile did. Intrigued, he started to notice Regulus, at first just to be sure he was adapting well to the school; after all, he was Sirius' brother. But after a while, he could feel Regulus' presence without even searching for it.

Regulus, on the other hand, felt like his world crashed in front of his young eyes. It was always his dream, his and Sirius', to attend Hogwarts, and they both did it. But his big brother had made new friends who were noisy and annoying. It was a group Regulus knew from the very beginning he would never fit in with, so he pushed them away, despising how much it hurt Sirius' feelings.

Second year:

In their 3rd year at Hogwarts, the Marauders already had made a big reputation, and everyone was always talking about them in the halls. Regulus used to be annoyed about people talking about his brother every time they talked to him, so he approached the only Slytherins who didn't: The Rosiers, Barty and Dorcas.

That, of course, pissed Sirius off so bad that he wouldn't stop complaining for almost a month. And once he was done with it, he had a huge fight with Regulus in front of everyone. Reg was so angry when he shouted, “Well, if you weren’t busy with your new family to remember you already had a brother, I would probably stay with you," that he didn't realize what he did until it was too late.

James was heading straight to the common room with candy to cheer up Sirius when he heard a soft whimper coming from a crying Regulus curled up on the ground like a ball.

"You know, he just wants you to be safe,""He doesn't care about me; he has you now," "That's a lie, Regulus. Sirius might love me, but he lives for you. We shouldn’t make him choose one if he could have both. You don't need to stand by me, just don't hate me... please?"

Third year:

Reg starts to respect James, now knowing he isn't trying to steal his place in Sirius' heart.

Regulus struggled with DADA; James offered to help.

Reggie is convinced by the very stubborn Marauders to accept his help.

They fought a lot at the beginning, always arguing about anything until James found that if he teased the right nerve, Regulus would blush and forget his words.

James found a new pleasure in life called making Regulus Black laugh or blush.

They start to get along; Regulus is understanding DADA and got his first high grade with James' help.

But James is really confused by the way he is feeling about Lily and Regulus.

James works out that Lily will probably not give him a chance anytime soon, and Regulus' heart does a backflip when he hears it.

They start to hang out even outside of the study section, sitting by the Black Lake where no one can see them, just to chat about literally anything. And Regulus is impressed by how smart James Potter actually is behind the flirty smile.

On the last day of his 3rd year, Regulus kisses James by their spot at the Black Lake and then really bravely runs away.

[sommerregenjuniluft]

@jegulus-microfic september 9 — carry — 1.6k words — mentions of sex at the end of the chapter! kinda nsfw

or; in which Regulus has a tense neck and James is so, so helpful <3

Regulus has, frankly, had enough of carrying children around for the next three of his lifetimes.

Ron has busted his knee open on the gravel outside while playing catch and is now crying? Regulus is cradling him close as he whisks back inside and playing doctor as he gets the gentle disinfectant and band-aids. Neville had a little pee accident? Regulus is carrying him to the bathrooms with outstretched arms for a change of clothes. Harry is getting into a fight with another kid over a toy situation involving being mean to Hermoine? Regulus has to swoop down and take him to the quiet room to calm him down and then talk about voicing one’s feelings or getting the help of an adult.

The frown gradually eases off his little forehead behind his round glasses as he listens to Regulus, sniffling occasionally. He has a spiderman themed patch over his left eye that Regulus finds mortifyingly adorable.

Honestly, Regulus would have quit long ago if it wasn’t for how easily these little stinkers have weaseled their ways into his heart.

Regulus is 23 and his back is a tragedy.

His joints bop and creak and the muscles in his neck are stiffer than cement at his point.

Being bent over the low desks in the tiny chairs to help the kids arts and craft the decoration for this Friday’s Halloween party is not doing him any favors either.

“Stan Lee called, he wants his wall-crawling, web-shooting superhero back!” a warm voice comes from the door to their group’s room.

Well, Regulus supposes there might be one or two more reasons besides the kids he likes his job for.

Harry groans next to him without looking up, vaguely wagging his arm in James’ direction, “Noo, daddy, I can’t go yet. I need to finish my snow owl!”

Regulus finally lets himself look up from his seat to catch James crossing his arms and leaning into the doorframe. He’s in a crimson cable knit sweater over a crisp white button down and dark gray slacks that fit inappropriately snug in all the right places.

James nods solemnly, “Right, right, because the other five snow owls taped to your bedroom window need one more for company or they’ll be lonely, huh?”

Harry sighs exasperatedly, “This one’s not coming home with us.”

James raises an eyebrow at Regulus in question, badly concealing his grin.

“These are for the party on Friday,” Regulus supplies helpfully, quickly swiping the glue from Ron before he sticks it in his mouth the fourth time today. Lily was the one to sign herself up for bringing Harry as well as brownies and lemonade so Regulus isn’t too surprised it wasn’t at the front of James’ mind.

This one shoots up then, “Oh, fu—n,” gawking at his own slip-up.

Regulus levels him with an unimpressed stare, lips twitching.

James drives his fingers through his chaotic curls, “Yeah, funny thing, I actually meant to talk to you about it, Regulus.”

A gentle shiver tingles it’s way up Regulus’ spine, “It’s Mr. Black.”

James makes a face that says obviously, “I know, love,” licks his lips to conceal the cheeky smile threatening to spill. Regulus wants to hit him. “Lily actually had something come up, and I was able to postpone a meeting so now I’m the one bringing Harry and staying for the buffet.”

Oh.

“Oh,” Regulus’ jaw might drop a bit.

James hums happily and then steals a pen out of the little basket on the table next the door, “Unfortunately I’m no good with brownies, I do however make the best fruit sticks covered in chocolate— so,” points the pen at Regulus with a grin, “Where do i sign?”

Regulus ducks his head against the flush crawling up his cheeks as he stands up, “Um— I’ll get the list.”

“Oh, no worries, Regulus,” his colleague Dorcas leers from across the table, “I’ve got the gremlins managed. I think James would be happy to head upstairs with you and while you’re at it,” Regulus already knows what’s coming as Dorcas’ smile turns overly sweet, “I’m sure he could give you a hand with my new desk chair with those big muscles of his.”

Regulus looks over at James, “You don’t have t—”

“Lead the way,” James says with a wink.

James carries the oversized carton up the stairs without breaking a fucking sweat while Regulus had taken one look at it, nudged it with a knee to see how heavy it was and then told Dorcas not a chance in hell.

Because, as established, his back is a tragedy and all that.

It’s twinging now too as he takes the thick binder out of the cabinet and drops it on top with a thunk.

Regulus tilts his neck and lets his upper spine crack with a grunt, does the same on the other side while he flicks through the papers.

James looks at him with an unnaturally blank expression when he asks, “You okay?”

Regulus rolls his shoulders to ease the tension, making a non-comical noise.

“Well, it’s no surprise you have some back pain working with children.”

Regulus chuckles humorlessly, flicking a glance James’ way, “What are you, a physio-therapist?”

“Oh,” a smug chuckle that has Regulus turning warily, “Close enough.”

Regulus crosses his arms in front of his chest and waits for him to elaborate.

James cocks his head, mimics his stance and waits him out patiently.

Regulus has half the mind to kick him.

Asks, with an eyeroll that’s nearly painful, “Well, what’s your occupation?”

“I’m a chiropractor.”

“Oh, you’re kidding.”

“Am not, today might just be your lucky day.”

Regulus considers that for a moment.

He could easily shrug it off as a joke. Roll his eyes once more, hand James the damn list to jot down his name and stupid, sexy chocolate covered grapes and strawberries and god knows what else and then kick him the fuck out and back down to collect Harry and have him on his merry way.

He could do that.

Should, probably.

It’s just that his neck really fucking aches and it’s even gotton to the point of disturbing his sleep the past few days.

Regulus sighs, “I don’t have any cash on me right now.”

James snorts, “I didn’t expect you to pay me, love.”

Regulus worries his bottom lip between his teeth for another moment.

“C’mon you look stiff as a board,” James nods his chin at him and Regulus turns dutifully but not without another eyeroll.

James steps closer and immediately draws his left palm up over his back, thumb tracking his spine. “I’m warning you though, these babies have it in them,” digs the pads of his strong fingers into Regulus’ shoulders for enunciation.

Regulus blames what comes out of his mouth next on the mind boggling spice of James’ cologne, “I’m good with hard.”

The hands twitch against Regulus for a moment and he hears a noise that sounds like James is running his tongue along his teeth behind his lips.

Voice husky and breath tickling Regulus’ dark curls, “Alright,” a hand running down Regulus’ spine as a thumb digs into a pressure point in his neck, “Good to know.”

James seems to mostly palpate the hotspots of Regulus cramped muscles and the places of where joints would have to be realigned.

Body heat warm from behind and palms thorough as he kneads Regulus’ hard muscles and puts pressure along where he scans for more issues.

When he circles back to his neck and uses both his hands on one side Regulus can’t help but groan, shivering involuntary.

James makes a small cooing noise, “Yeah, I know, I’m sorry, I'm sorry.”

Regulus pants a breath, shakes his head feebly, “Mm, you’re good.”

“This doesn’t look too good, love,” James voice rumbles, closer to Regulus’ ear now.

Regulus hisses at the sting when James releases the muscle and goes over to the other side. His mouth drops open and he whines too loudly when James picks back up with his administrations.

“Regulus,” if he was less caught up the unforgiving press of his fingers Regulus maybe would have noticed how strangled James sounded.

He works him dutifully through the other side and then slides his palms past Regulus’ shoulder blades and rests them at the dip of his back for a lingering second before gently squeezing at his waist.

Prompts Regulus into turning around and coming to face the other man again.

His lips look a bit redder than Regulus remembers.

“Well, that’s all I can do for now without my office massage table,” James rubs at the back of his neck sheepishly.

Regulus rolls his shoulders out and notes with satisfaction how much looser he feels already, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it, love,” James replies with a smile so warm Regulus melts a bit around the edges.

He feels embarrassingly gooey.

James ends up filling out the sheet and then leaving with Harry five minutes later.

When he shows up Friday noon he’s clad in ridiculously tight pants again and a ridiculously orange pumpkin jumper. Also cat ears for some reason.

Lily is able to join for a few minutes at the end, watching Harry perform the trick or treating song they had the kids learn and then taking him home.

James ends up staying to help clean up.

He feeds Regulus one of the last chocolate covered fruit sticks—grape, strawberry and blueberries, honey melon and peaches.

Regulus ends up blowing James for it, turning him into a groaning, whimpering mess as he sucks his heavy cock into the back of his throat and James retaliates by realigning his spine in a very non-chiropractor way.

They crush the rest of Molly’s blueberry muffins while they’re at it.

[messrrprongs]

obliviate. - a jegulus au by mars.

kinda long so bear with me! so this starts basically in james' second year and reg's first.

"my brother's going to be sorted this year" sirius tells him proudly and james looks as eager as him cause if sirius was this AMAZING to be around, then surely his brother must be the same. and then he's sorted! 'regulus black' - and james sees the similarities immediately,, dark hair, watercolor eyes oh hell he's cute

and in the middle of james' comparison, regulus is sorted into slytherin, putting a barrier between the brothers and a stop to prongs' thought process ab baby black bc at 12, he had that ideology that slytherin was a bad house and regulus was not at all similar to sirius but ofcourse yk time changes everything

third year, he spends more time in the library. regulus does too. mostly silent, pouring over his books. james wonders why he looks so small and vulnerable

fourth year, regulus makes it onto the slytherin quidditch team as their third-year seeker and he's hella good at that, but never show-offy. james wonders why he doesn't like being centre of attention

fifth year, regulus has THE glowup. all baby fat gone, cheekbones that can cut through glass and a sharpass attractive jawline. and was his hair slightly longer too? james wonders why he's never noticed reg's smile before

sixth year, sirius starts talking to his brother more and they bond, spend more time together. regulus seems to notice james for the first time. james still sees the shy little first-year every time he looks at regulus

regulus has a sassy personality, he's mean, he's elusive, he rolls his eyes too much, but james can't see past the fact that his best friend's brother is fucking angelic. james is pretty sure regulus could get away with murder despite having blood on his hands

there's a party, there's laughter, there's drinking. and in the dim lights, the only thing james sees is regulus black because there's nothing more beautiful than watching the candleflames dance like shadows in his eyes, the ghost of pure joy in reg's smile

that year is james' favorite year. they talk, discuss quidditch strategies. when james sees regulus alone in the library, he pulls up a chair and sits with him. even though reg sasses him, he likes that. he learns regulus' favorite color when they're in honeydukes. he discovers regulus' love for astronomy during late-night hangouts. he counts the freckles on reg's face while they spend hot afternoons lying on their backs in the sun. he finds out how perfect their hands fit together like two halves of a whole

they're stupidly in love. regulus starts wearing turtlenecks and no one but remus can tell what the secret glances between james and regulus mean. sirius jokes about regulus hiding a vampire bite on his neck but remus knows it all

james is having the time of his life: secret boyfriend that he's head-over-arse in love with, his best friends, his family, his entire life set before him. everything he could ever wish for. and when sirius finds out, the worst he gets is a smack to the head with a shoe. well, that's the best it gets.

seventh year. regulus is distant, afraid. cheeks hollow, eyes darting, constantly on edge. james worries but never pushes too hard. they still go on dates, of course, but lesser than before - something is holding reg back. "i love you" james says and "i know" he gets in return. and that breaks his fucking heart bc he thinks he's not good enough for regulus. he thinks he's somehow making reg lose interest him and he doesn't want that so he does everything a bit more, tries hard, too hard. pushes himself past the limit.

and regulus can't look him in the eyes when he asks "what's wrong". the sleeve is pulled up, the mark shown, a look of betrayal and not one broken heart, but two. but james has never been one to give up. he tries to convince him but regulus is fixed on it. he doesn't want james to get hurt and live life without him but he doesn't realize that without regulus, james feels like he has nothing to live for.

that night, he's obliviated. that night, the marauders graduate from hogwarts. regulus has another year to come back to, but no james potter. his lifeline hanging by a thread as death and the consequences of his bad decisions loom closer. and james, well, he has his whole life ahead of him, doesn't he?

the paper is printed. the dark lord, vanquished. a young boy killed in service. james thinks he might've known him, seen him at hogwarts but nothing seems to click. he lets go.

james watches his friends get married. he shares their happiness yet, never once looks for his own. too busy as an auror, he makes an excuse - a reason to justify the restlessness of his heart. his friends grow worried.

james forgets a lot. he was once the boy that knew everyone's birthdays, their favorite colors, their everything by heart blindly. now he's a man that can't remember what day it is despite having looked at the calendar a moment before. he's a man that can't remember his own address sometimes. he's a man with strange fuzzy dream of a boy that looks like his best friend. a smile, stolen kisses in greenhouses, holding hands. he forgets his present a lot.

he grows old alone. surrounded by his friends' children. they say he has dementia, a muggle disease. he can't remember who he was sometimes. they wonder why he sits in his armchair in the middle of the night and stares out at the sky, waiting for something he can't remember.

he dies surrounded by his friends and family. it's peaceful, it's quiet. as he takes his final breath and his eyes flutter shut, he feels young again. he opens them again and there's a boy - sirius? no, can't be. he looks younger. an angel? must be. james thinks he's dreaming. the boy holds his hand out with a smile that james had once memorized.

"i'm sorry to make you wait, love."

The Marauders and their … Hogwarts Houses ? because I think this is a fun little idea :)

(You know how fandoms outside the HP universe will have HP AUs ? And sort the characters into Hogwarts Houses ? This is how I think we would sort The (modern) Marauders, if we weren’t already a HP fandom :D)

James: Hufflepuff. Come on, this one is obvious. Him and all the other Golden Retriever / Himbo Characters to ever exist. That whole James Potter aka The Sun stuff ? Him being kind-hearted and loyal (to his family and friends) ? Hufflepuff.

Sirius: Gryffindor. Him and all the Badass But Kind / Popular Kid Characters. Like him leaving his abusive household ? Brave. Also there’s something about his attitude, posh without the asshole attitude (at least later on) that’s giving chivalrous.

Remus: Ravenclaw. Yes, sometimes he’s given a sort of No Fucks Given attitude, but even then he’s still depicted as smart. Like cigarette in hand or not, he’s almost always enjoying reading. And his most common characterization are Light / Dark Academia vibes for sure.

Peter: Hufflepuff. In Modern AUs there usually isn’t any crazy betrayal happening, so there’s no actual reason for him to be too brave, instead he’s more of a chill and fun guy. Plus, oftentimes James and him are childhood friends, so that would make for fun housemates ig ?

Lily: Ravenclaw. Similar to Remus, she has those Light / Dark Academia Vibes and is often portrayed as this smart and witty character. Plus, specifically in Jily Fics, it makes for great Himbo x Smart Girl Fics. Also, there’s potential for a great Remus x Lily friendship.

Mary: Gryffindor. She’s often portrayed as this very strong and independent character and has a Standing On Business kinda attitude. She’s also usually very confident, especially sexuality / gender wise which fits the vibes and is brave for sure.

Marlene: Hufflepuff. I could also see her being in Gryffindor, because she too is a very brave character in my opinion, but I think she often has a personality similar to James, so this makes more sense to me. Plus: James, Peter and her -> childhood friends and housemates !!!

Dorcas: Slytherin. She has those Cool Badass Character vibes. She knows what she wants and she gets what she wants, like she’s ambitious and clever for sure. I think she’s also usually a rather intimidating character? Plus, Hufflepuff! Marlene x Slytherin! Dorcas Fics.

Pandora: Slytherin. I think her characterization has changed from where she was a sweet / bubbly and eccentric character, to where she’s still that now, but also lowkey insane. Plus those intimidating vibes again -> Slytherin. Also, Pandalily Fics would go hard like this !

Regulus: Ravenclaw. I do think there would be a lot of Slytherin! Regulus Fics, especially for the Black Brothers Drama, but the vibes are too similar to Remus’ and Lily’s for him to not be in Ravenclaw. This would make for a fun trio and good Jegulus / Jegulily for sure.

Barty: Gryffindor. I feel like this is a wild one, like he could be in Slytherin or Ravenclaw as well, but for some reason I think he would be a Bad Boy Gryffindor, and everyone would be confused why he’s there and he’d hate it too, but idk, he sometimes has similar vibes to Sirius …

Evan: Slytherin. Maniac, need I say more? Imagine running into Pandora and him, like they are for sure those twins everyone’s kinda afraid of. Also, I think this would make for some great Rosekiller Fics, as well as a great Regulus, Barty and Evan friendship, like yes.

waiiit you kinda got me into chinese house of black now.......... the angst potential w sirius giving regulus the tea set and then regulus smashing it then the chinese zodiac + color meanings ...!!! okayyy i see the visionnn

ceri! to be honest, it all fits a little too well for comfort, especially the zodiacs. the black brothers have so much angst anyway and it’s only fair to make it as hurtful as possible. rip orion and walburga you would have loved giving your kids red envelopes instead of proper christmas presents.

indian!james potter x indian!fem!reader word count: 762

a/n: ty for this request i rlly enjoyed writing this, i love giving representation to our desi girls

James Potter was well known in the desi wizarding community not only because of the wealth that the Potters had maintained throughout the wizarding ages but also because he was one of the most sought-after bachelors by the Indian mothers in Britain however only one girl ever captured his eyes. James had known you since your family moved next to his family when he was only 3 years old. Ever since you both had become fast friends, bonding over your shared heritage and constantly never having anyone around your ages at family functions and prayers you attended.

This year you had both attended the Potter’s annual ball they held, and upon Aunty Effie’s insistence it was going to be a cultural ball which meant you and James had both shown up together in ethnic wear. Showing up in a blue lehenga you stood out amongst most of your friends and in James’ eyes you stood out in front of everyone, he could never really wrap his head around the idea that you truly were his girl. James wore, in your opinion, an extremely well fitted black kurta which showed his assets off well.

You arrived with your parents and once they left to say hi to everyone they hadn’t seen since the last ball you made your way to your boyfriend and his friends who were dressed in more modern clothes such as tuxes and dresses. James’ eyes basically resembled hearts as you walked up to him and before you could reach them, he had bent down to press a kiss on your cheek. Saying hello to all of your friends they all complimented your outfit and makeup whilst James stood off smiling happy to show you off to both of your friends.

As Euphemia and Fleamont welcomed everyone to the ball they announced that the family would soon open with a waltz which was an annual tradition. You were always excited to participate ever since you and James first met, normally it would only be Euphemia and Fleamont dancing with little James standing in the middle of them, however since James had met you, he would continuously invite you to dance and you two would twirl and sway in the middle while Effie and Monty danced around you two. That changed after Sirius and Regulus ran away, you would normally slow dance with Reg while James and Sirius swayed in the middle looking like idiots, but you knew they wouldn’t have it any other way. Slowly as years passed the ballroom grew bigger for everyone to fit.

This year was no different as it would now be Effie and Monty, you and James, Sirius and Remus and Regulus and Barty. The opening chords of the song started and you and James both excitedly looked at each other, you had both watched Om Shanti Om more times than you could count, and you could not wait to dance to the song.

James slowly led you to the dance floor and you both took your positions as you waited for the song to start. James gazed into your eyes as the song started and you both floated effortlessly around one another, twirly in synchronised harmony and steps in perfect time all without looking away from each other. Soon sounds in the background had faded away and it was only you and James in the moment as he mouthed the words to you.

Out of the corner of your eye you had seen some of the family step off of the dance floor to watch you and James and some part of you wanted to stop dancing completely out of embarrassment however almost as if James knew what you were thinking he moved his hand from your shoulder to your chin to make you look at him, his blinding smile alone had quelled any anxiety bubbling in your chest. As the song picked up again you both continued to dance whilst hearing your friends softly cheering you both on any time you passed them, you were sure your feet were going to hurt after this but in the moment all you could see was the sun, its beautiful rays basking you in sunlight and warmth.

As you felt the song ending, James and you slowed down before he twirled and dipped you as the big finale before ending it with a kiss. You could hear claps and cheers around the both of you before you both pulled away to look at your friends and family who looked so softly at the both of you.

wolfstar for ship ask bait <33

tysm for the ask babe!!

when I started shipping it if I did: hmm i think the second i started engaging with the marauders fandom?? the first thing i did was read all the young dudes so it was kinda there from the get go lmao

my thoughts: THEYRE MY BABIES THEYRE SO CUTE AND I LOVE THEM IN EVERY UNIVERSE

What makes me happy about them: how they're literally perfect for each other and they're kind of opposites attract but not?? they seem to have a really good balance of being different but similar that is so cute to me fjdaklfhds (also how they're kinda similar to us ngl)

What makes me sad about them: idk not much?? maybe that the entire world isn't screaming about them?? idk??

things done in fanfic that annoys me: when its basically painted as a copy-paste as jegulus, they're very different ships to me with very different dynamics and i dislike it when they're super similar. ofc they might have some similarities but they are NOT the same!!

things I look for in fanfic: i lovee when they're in a 70s au bc i think thats just... them?? but also really anything i think just when they fit with my very specific view of them i freak out and get obsessed with the fanfic (see: a black mass over highway ninety by greenvlvetcouch which im currently reading)

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: literally no one?? idk i feel like i have many platonic ships for them (remus and lily, sirius and james, remus and regulus, sirius and mary, idk other ones) but literally no romantic ones help-

My happily ever after for them: they live in a house with many dogs and cats and they have dinner with their friends like every night and they go to every concert and they're just so fshdklfhds

who is the big spoon/little spoon: hmm i think it changes!! usually remus is the big spoon and sirius is little spoon but i think it depends as well

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: going to concerts!! or maybe remus is reading while sirius is watching something and they're just very cozy fhsdklfhdskl

[gasolinehornet]

Things i wanna draw but i prob wont have time:

One: I wanna draw regulus as fossegrimmen; a Norwegian mythical being. The fossegrim plays violin near a body of water, preferably a waterfall hence the name (foss means waterfall), and i think this fits so well for regulus. Almost like after he drowned he turns into a fossegrim yk? Anyways i think thats epic

TWO!! Lily and mary as huldra, another Norwegian mythical being. Huldra are beauties in disguise. Their beauty makes you trust them and follow them deep into the forest where they kill and eat you. The way to recognize a huldra is by their cow tail hidden under their skirt, or the horns hidden under their head cover. And idk, i think lily fits this. Huldra are kinda like "fuck men, we dont need them. Lets eat them" and i think thats beautiful

THREEEE: a regulus sketch where hes surrounded by black smoke with birds circling him in the air. I have actually drawn this, but only a sketch that i dont even reay like

[daemonwritesstuff]

MATCHUP TRADE WITH @sugutoad - 100% completed

A/N: Hi Anna! im so happy to do yet another trade with you! these are so fun to do and hopefully we can do more soon haha. I hope you enjoy this so much as much as I did with mine.

HARRY POTTER FAMILY ANALYSIS

Your Significant Other Is…

You have been matched with Regulus Black! After some thinking about your other HP matches he seemed like a more better fit for you.

Kallias Black!

The oldest child and brother! aka Regulus and Annas first child! He was born after you guys got married, He went to school the same time as the boy who lived did. they arent really close together since Kallias despises him for some reason. He is also Regulus's favorite child (he loves all his children ok??). Regulus was over the moon when he found out his son got into slytherin, He's very proud of his kids, even if they dont know. Kallias can get a bit too angry sometimes but calms down right away when his parents comfort him, he would do anything to make his mom and dad proud.

Illiana Black!

The second and oldest child! the sweet and intellegent child of Anna and Regulus Black. She daydreams a lot because you know... she dreams a lot, and she can acheive those dreams! She's really good at all of her classes, the black family is very intellegent. She's always with her pet dog, Sirius, which annoys her uncle sometimes and Regulus is super happy about haha.

Fayette Black!

The Third Daughter of Anna and Regulus Black! She's known for being super rebellious and mischievous. She gets in trouble a lot or playing with other peoples wands or causing chaos. She reminds Regulus to much like his Brother Sirius, they're just too alike! but it doesn't nessacarly make him annoyed or angered, he loves his daughter so much, he probably has to stop some arguments with her siblings. Regulus is a girl dad frfr.

Dorian Black!

Second Son and The Fourth Child! I think Kallias got a little jealous and upset when he got told that he's gonna have a younger brother, he wants to be the only son! enough with that though... Dorian is the peacemaker, he's everyone's favorite even if they don't show it, he's super popular In school and he knows it! He can be a little shy around people he doesn't know, so when his mom or dad is around he'll always hide or stay beside them, its so cute to regulus and Anna haha. He has to be forced to do his work or he'll be grounded which causes him to whine for a while but eventually stops. You always have to cook vegetarian meals for Dorian sinces he Vegetarian which you and regulus are fine with of course.

Nyla Black!

The Last and Youngest Child of Regulus and Anna Black! The cutest child in the house, you guys spoil her a lot and she turned out to be a cute yet has no brain cells kinda bimbo. But shes very hardworking and Regulus is very proud of that as well. She's probably the first person in the black family to want to do more independent things in the house. one time when her boundries were being pushed too far she scared the person with some scary figure and lets say that person never came back...

Raising a Child — before, during and after

Regulus was probably only present for the three of his kids birth after Voldemort controlled his mind into maddness

It was hard to raise 3 kids on your own, you had help from his brother Sirius, and some other family members but it was still hard without having the father present.

But before that they raised their children with so much love that it would blind you. They would take their children to places they wanted to go and they would also buy their children as many toys they want

While Regulus was away, Anna did everything she could to make her kids not forget their father, she would tell stories about Regulus when they met at Hogwarts, how their dates were, etc...

After a while Regulus came back and there were a lot of tears... of happiness of course, it was good for Regulus to be back with his family again, he never let you guys go when he came back.

He would take his kids for ice cream and to the park on the best summer days possible, he even takes them to the pool and teaches his younger kids how to swim!

Overall, this family is very successful and very happy, for eternity.

Reactions:

Black Family: You were probably in an exchanged marriage with Regulus ngl, but in a good way, your family was rich and successful so why wouldn't they wanna get you both married! little did they know you guys were already dating, which shocked them but surprising it didn't make them mad, when they found out you guys were having kids they were so overjoyed, Sirius always comes to the house to spoil your children (only when his parents aren't there)

Family Dinner and Date Nights

Family dinners can be a bit chaotic since everyone is gonna talk over one another about their days, or just random stuff, sometimes even food fights happen with the younger ones! but they are stopped right away.

Usually its very nice when having dinners though, its always good to hear the kids talking and just having a good time

Date Nights happen very rarely since you both can be busy sometimes but you'll always try to find a way to get out of the house, and you'll get Uncle Sirius and Jaxrel to babysit the kids LMAO

Your dates with him are with you going to your favorite places, or staying in a cafe while its raining and hands are intertwined together, your love with Regulus is very peaceful and heartwarming.

Vampire Prongsfoot

Oooo this is exciting! I love this au so much.

So basically, it’s initially set in the 1920s, from James’ perspective. He’s a boxer, often wins his fights. At one match Regulus approaches him and hands him a card, all that’s on it is an adress and the name of a club, and is told he’d fit right in. James gets excited and thinks it’s an underground fighting ring.

When he gets there, he descovers it’s very much not a fighting ring, and actually a queer speakeasy, lots of flamboyant and half naked people. Not a moment after he sits down, a woman takes the stage in a glamorous gown and starts to sing. James instantly wants her, but as she wanders through the crowd James notices a few odd things about her appearance, like she has a man’s chest… she promptly plonks herself down in James’ lap and sings to him, and James realises it’s not a woman, and in fact a man, and he promptly goes though a bi panic.

Also, sirius is obviously the singer, and a vampire as well as regulus. They co own the club, and to bring in extra money when they don’t have access to their regular funds, sirius prostitutes herself off (they’re gender fluid by the way). After the show she approaches James to entice him back to his room, James is new and clearly enamoured and confused by regulus.

Sirius expects James to be like most men. Fuck him, pay him, leave and come back next week. But he’s not, James wants to get to know sirius. He pays to talk to sirius before they eventually get frisky, and James is gentle. James also keeps coming back more often than most. They fall in love, and it scares sirius because he’s kinda a vampire and doesn’t want to change James.

BUT THEN! Something awful happens, and the black brothers have to flee, and James is left heartbroken and… and… oh my god he’s a vampire what the hell!!?!? A broken hearted vampire. Will he ever heal? Will he ever find love again? Who knows! Not James apparently.

My Family Always Said that I'm the Bad Child pt. 2

Trigger warnings: verbal abuse

All my life been putting on a fake smile

Sitting on my own, feel like I'm exiled

Paris, France 1970

It was a sunny summer day in Paris, in a more isolated hillside district away from the hustle and bustle at the heart of the city. The birds were chirping, the thestrals grazing, and the annual Black family summer trip was kicking off in earnest as two distinctive cries were being heard throughout the estate. One of overwhelming excitement and the other of sheer horror. 

The first cry, well it was more of a shout, was coming from a young prepubescent boy who was dancing merrily about, waving an off white letter in his hand in front of the face of his younger brother who’s face was contorting into a look of annoyance, happiness, and a smidge of hurt.

“It finally came Reg! I thought those old croons would never send it,” Sirius jested as he thrusting the letting into his brothers face one last time before the younger of the two playfully slapped his hand away, letting him know that he didn't appreciate the gesture. 

“You know they were going to send it eventually. You’re a Black. Its obvious that they would, mom and dad would have thrown a fit if they didn’t,” Regulus duly noted trying to sound uninterested even though the smile on his face was betraying the tone on his voice terribly. 

“Yeah but they took soooooo long. I thought I was gonna become an old man and die before they sent it,” Sirius tutted, stressing how long it took with his hand pressed on his heart and a look of sheer exasperation that caused Regulus to burst into a small but persistent chuckle, a talent that the older of the two took great pride in as his baby brother rarely if ever laughed. 

“N’en fais pas un drame,” Regulus scoffed in French as he slinked up to his older brother’s side, and with quick catlike reflexes that he was known for snatched away Sirius’s letter who was none the wiser. 

“Hey! Give it back Reg!” 

“I’m a little shocked at how thick it is. Are you gonna open it,” Regulus asked as he examined the letter. It was an off white color and was sealed with a red wax stamp that had Hogwarts emblem embellished into it. It wasn't super hefty but it clearly held more than one piece of paper in it. That much was certain to Regulus as he held it up to the sunlight hoping to be able to see through the envelope and at least get a peak of some of the contents.  

“I wanna show mom and dad first,” Sirius said a little sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head, messing up his already uneven ear length black hair that he insisted on growing out before school started. He had been bugging them about his letter all summer, much to the dismay of his parents who had threatened to send him up North to Drumstag if he kept nagging them about it. So he felt kinda bad for pestering them about it, especially since they were busy trying to find suitable husbands for their cousins who were all about to be Hogwarts graduates. 

“Well let’s show them…”

“You what?!”

“…Now,” Regulus flinched as they both turned towards the manor from where they were at in the courtyard, visibly noting that the house briefly shook which could only mean one thing, some type of drama had occurred within the Black family and it had greatly upset Walburga, their mother. 

“Maybe we show them later,” Sirius cautioned not wanting his brother to be exposed to the wrath of his mother. He had grown up knowing all his life what that shaking meant and that it was never a good sign.

“What’s this? The great Sirius Black shying away at telling our beloved mother and father about how you are going to be the best wizard in all of Hogwarts? Merlin must have come back from the dead because…”

“Alright alright I get it! Let’s go. We’re going to have to deal with her mood swings eventually,” Sirius retorted, snatching his letter out of Regulus’s hands as he started running back towards the inside of the manor a cry of “race ya” sounding from his lips as he left his younger brother in his wake.

“Sirius you cheater! No fair!”

Meanwhile in the manor, an important decision was being made for three of the most eligible ladies in wizarding society, the Black sisters, which consisted of Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa. They had just finished their official debut into the upper crust of wizarding society and their parents along with the head of the Black clan, Walburga and Orion, were discussing their prospects for marriage which was as important to the Black family as having magic itself. Marriage meant everything in this family, it was the past, present, and future of the family and the elders in the room held it with very high regard. 

“One of the Lestrange brothers has proposed interest in you three, particularly you Bella,” their mother, Druella, mentioned candidly as she took a sip of her rose tea that Kreacher had just served them. She had been peering over the list of candidates for her daughters to marry for months now and today was finally the day when all would be sorted out and she could sit back and reap the rewards of her hard work as well as looking forward to her future pure-blood grandchildren. 

“Which one mama,” Narcissa asked eagerly, pushing a stray blonde hair out of her face as she looked between her mother and her older sister who seemed a bit stiff and not the least bit happy about this arrangement. Out of the three sisters, she seemed to be the one most eager about marriage and children.

“I believe his name was Rodolphus Lestrange,” Walburga noted as she had heard the news from her sister-in-law prior to the meeting with the girls. Using her wand, she cast a simple imaging spell onto one of the blank pieces of paper before them and a well depicted picture of Rodolphus popped up. Showing him smirking and well attempting to look handsome with his hair slicked back and his hands tucked neatly into the suit pockets he was wearing. 

“Ugh that twat… you could do so much better Bella,” Narcissa scoffed only to earn her a look from her father signifying that she had overstepped.

“Watch that mouth of yours, young lady, before you earn yourself a hex,” Cygnus the third warned causing Narcissa to shrink in her seat and Andromeda to squeeze her thigh in comfort. Their father wasn’t the biggest fan of having all daughters, and although he never laid a hand on them, he made that very clear with his actions and verbiage. 

“Yes Papa.”

“Calm down Cygnus, the girls have the right to vocalize how they feel about their prospective partners and their sisters partners. After all we are going to all be family soon if things work out,” Orion chuckled as he uncorked his decorative silver flask and poured the fire whiskey he had been saving into his tea, ignoring the face contorted in disgust that his wife was sending him over his habit of day drinking. 

“They’re my daughters…”

“And they’re all good Black’s and know their duty to their family well. They will all find respectable partners, right girls.” 

“Of course uncle, in fact you don't even need to worry about me! Luscius Malfoy has already promised himself to me and we have been dating for awhile now! He’s wealthy and of pure blood and he’s utterly perfect Papa,” Narcissa gushed as she pulled out a picture from a pocket hidden in the seams of her dress and showed her mother a loving photo of her and Luscius Malfoy who was holding Narcissa in an embrace. 

“Well that’s one girl I don't have to worry about,” Druella smiled sincerely as she looked at the blonde pureblood couple and gave a nod towards Walburga, who understood her unspoken gesture to cross Narcissa off the marriage eligibility list and to contact the Malfoys for their arrangements. 

“But the matter of Bella is still a concerning issue. You delayed your debut because you wanted to debut with your sisters. Don’t tell me you intend on delaying your marriage too? Rodolphus is a good candidate Bellatrix. He comes from a good family and…”

“There is no need to worry Auntie, I will marry Rodolphus,” Bellatrix responded, her voice void of any emotion of feelings regarding the matter. After all she had thrown away the notions of a loving relationship like her sister a long long time ago, as the man that she loved was both not eligible and unattainable to her by means of marriage. 

“You had us all worried there for a second,” Druella playfully scolded her eldest as she made a mental note to contact the Lestrange family today and give them the good news.

“I do have one condition though,” Bellatrix inserted as she rolled up her left sleeve of her dark purple chiffon dress and showed the family her inner arm which caused various mixed reactions. 

Her uncle, who had the same inner arm tattoo took a long swig of his flask, not even bothering to hide his daytime alcohol addiction by diluting it through tea. He knew good and well from first hand experience what that mark meant and although he was for the cause, that didn't necessarily mean he wanted his nieces to join in on another bloody war. His reaction was opposite of his wife’s who beamed with pride that her niece had taken the first step, in her mind, to promoting pure blood pride and exceptionalism as she too sported the mark on her inner left arm. Her parents however, were not as receptive as they both shared looks of concern and worry about their daughters future as neither of them had taken the mark, although they did financially back the cause with their endless amounts of funds. Narcissa, the baby of the girls,  gasped in shock as she had heard of her sister talking about it but never expected her to actually commit to it and well Andromeda was not pleased. Not pleased at all. 

“You’re a death eater,” Andromeda accused, pointedly glaring at her older sister who scoffed at her accusation and just rolled down her sleeve. 

“So are auntie and uncle. Why are you so surprised? I just want to contribute to making sure people realize that us witches and wizards are the ones who ought to be in power globally and us pure bloods are the ones who should be at the top. The natural order of things. I expect my future husband should want the same thing,” Bellatrix noted, vaguely hinting at the condition she wanted Rodolphus to fulfill should they get married. And while this hint was not lost on the party around her, Andromeda was not done gripping about her sister’s secret joining of the notorious cult of the dark lord. 

“He’s the dark lord Bella! This isn't some game…”

“Do you take me as a fool? I know exactly what he is. He is our Lord or did you forget who you are since you were fooling around with that mudblood thing,” Bellatrix snapped back glaring at her sister before what she said registered fully in her head and her eyes softened at Andromeda, the look of sheer betrayal etched upon her pale features. 

“Mudblood? What mudblood? Meda sweetheart what is Bella talking about,” Druella asked softly, her heart pondering in her chest as she looked between the two girls. Something was amiss. Andromeda had been awfully quiet but she just assumed it was that way because of well pre-marriage arrangement jitters, all the girls got them, so she never expected her girls to be keeping secrets… especially not from her. 

“Bella… you promised…”

“I’m sorry, Meda but its time you dropped this and focused on the future,” Bella tried to comfort her sister by attempting to stroke her cheek like she did when they were younger only to have her hand slapped away.

“He is my future, and he has a name!”

“Who are we talking about dammit,” Cygnus boomed, interrupting the spat between the two girls causing them both to flinch before Andromeda took a deep breath and revealed the engagement ring on her left ring finger that she had been hiding since this meeting started. 

“Edward Tonks, my finance… he… he asked me to marry him and I said yes. I’m going to marry Edward Tonks,” Andromeda said with eyes full of conviction as she looked at the adults before her who's eyes widened in shock, well all of them except for Orion who just took another swig of his flask because clearly this was another big bomb to drop on him… on all of them.

“You what,” Walburga roared as her magic shook the family vacation manor from her outburst, her Aunt who made it well known that she hated muggles and muggleborns alike was not only caught off guard by this entire situation but burning with a newfound disgust for her niece who she saw like her own daughter. How could she defile the Black family name, the Black’s who were known for being always pure, by marrying a filthy mudblood. 

“Were you under the imperious curse? Or perhaps amortencia or a lesser known love spell? Because if you were, there are ways we can undo this injustice and make sure he never sees the light of day again,” Druella rationalized, already planning to send this fool to the depths of Azkaban for messing with her child, at least that was her original intention until she looked into Andromeda’s eyes and the truth of the matter sunk in as did the panic. 

“Oh no. Oh no no no no no. A mud blood! No no no no NO,” Druella began to panic, bearing her face in her hands as tears welled up in her eyes and she started to hyperventilate at the sheer thought of all the things her child was keeping from her. She had always fancied herself a good mom who was super close to her children, but this… this was unexpected. Unpredictable. Wrong. 

“Mum,” Andromeda whispered in sincerity as she tried to reach out to comfort her mother only to be stopped in her tracks by her own father. 

“Don’t you dare touch her!” 

“She’s my mother,” Andromeda shot back at her father who was now cradling his wife in his arms as her hyperventilating broke into full blown pitiful sobs that was painful to look at. 

“Is she now? Because all I see in front of me are two beautiful Black girls and one disgusting blood traitor,” Walburga spat, daring Andromeda to question her authority. 

“What are you saying,” Andromeda asked, swallowing the dry saliva in the back of her throat, hoping that it would help her nerves. It didnt. 

“I’m saying that…”

“I win,” a victorious voice sounded as it burst through the doors of the parlor much to Andromeda’s relief and Walburga’s displeasure as it was her two boys, Sirius and Regulus. 

“How many times must I tell you to knock before entering a room!”

“Sorry mum,” Sirius replied sheepishly before taking a note at the disastrous scene in front of him. Druella was still sobbing while Cygnus was trying to comfort his wife. Narcissa was uncharacteristically quiet and playing with the braid in her blonde hair as Bellatrix refused to meet the eyes of anyone, least alone Andromeda who was sitting next to her. His father had pulled out a second hidden flask, which was uncanny since he usually tried to keep his day drinking a secret around his nieces and the cherry on top of the chaotic cake was his mother Walburga who looked like a bright red cherry tomato as she was still seething. About what, the grey eyed boy didn't know, but he could swear he saw real smoke coming from her ears. 

“Did someone die,” Regulus inquired as he peaked behind Sirius at the scene before him. It was the only explanation that made sense in his young mind at the unnerving atmosphere.

“No one died Reggie… just marriage talks aren't going as expected. That’s all. What did you two cuties run all the way hear for,” Andromeda asked as she spotted Sirius’s letter and thought that it was the perfect out to try to shift the unpleasant atmosphere away from her engagement to Ted Tonks. Quickly catching on Sirius held up his letter in triomph for all to see as if it was a giant quidditch trophy made from the rarest of metals. 

“I got into Hogwarts! My letter finally came!”

The reaction to Sirius’s news however was rather dismal and left the poor boy to clutch his letter tightly to his chest as his cheeks and ears dusted pink at his dramatics regarding showing off his Hogwarts letter. There was very little joy about the heir of Black’s situation and instead his news was met by an annoyed scoff.

“You got into Hogwarts, big deal. You’re a Black, Sirius. It’s expected of you. Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. We have bigger things to worry about like how we deal with your atrocious cousins actions.” 

“Atrocious actions? Are we talking about that Bella turned all the trees blue because,” Sirius droned on trying to lighten the mood but it did not work. It only made things worse. 

“Siri this isn't a joking time, Meda is engaged to a mud blood,” Narcissa tried to explain sweetly to her younger two cousins as Regulus had measled his way into sitting on the couch between her and Andromeda. 

“Is that true Meda,” the younger of the two Black brothers asked his cousin who merely nodded yes in acknowledgement.

“Oh… well so much for the Black’s being always pure am I right,” Sirius tried to make light of the situation which earned him the look from his father, the we-will-talk-about-this-later look that he knew usually meant more than just talking and always ended with a hex or two.

“It was just a joke…”

“Well this isn't a joke. Andromeda, pack your things and get out and don't you ever set foot near any of the Black property ever again!”

“If that is what will make you happy Auntie, then so be it. Just know that I chose love… I cant say the same for everyone here,” Andromeda breathed out shakily as she stood up and exited the room in a brisk walk, passing by the shell shocked Sirius who stood there awkwardly in the middle of the room. He was the only one to notice that there were tears streaming down her face as she left.

the marauders in Starmania

hello my dear French marauders fans ( and other but you probably not gonna know what I'm talking about)

today, may I present to you the marauders as Starmania characters !

Since almost everybody die in Starmania, I thought I would share angst with more people so I'm gonna start with the most obvious : 

Sirius as Ziggy. he literally changes his name for David Bowie, this is the most Sirius thing to do. he also wants to be a rock dancer/drummer depending the version and I think this fits very well. and is gay and work in a record shop like this man IS Sirius.

ofc with Sirius as Ziggy, we have pre-transitionned Remus as Marie-Jeanne, the waitress crazy in love with Ziggy. first of all, we are all in love with barman Remus, don’t lie to me. Marie-Jeanne is clearly depressed so that fits too. and pre-transitionned because Sirius/Ziggy is gay and doesn’t know that Remus is a man (and neither Remus) so that’s why they can’t be together

next we have Marlene as Crystal and that’s not only because she’s blond, I think that like Crystal, Marlene would absolutely love being famous and desired and controlling the life of every people who wants to be someone. and she’s blond

for more angst, Peter as Sadia, aka the traitor because... well he’s a traitor but also because “ Travesti ” fits him well, and Sadia is a very intelligent character but who really wants to impress Zéro-Janvier (the bad guy) who kinda looks like Voldemort with his racist ideas so really Sadia is Peter. he also kills Marlene with is almost canon in this fandom so he has to be Sadia.

next, obviously, Dorcas as Johnny Rockfort for my Dorlene heart. also, the slitherin skittles are definitely a part of the Black Stars. try telling me Evan and Barty wouldn’t love to be a part of this terrorist group, killing people for fun, wearing makeup and crazy outfits. you can’t. and I love a violent Dorcas. and she sees the love of her life dying and choose to die with her wich is also almost canon.

with the name of the group, Regulus would have also fit but for me, he is Zéro-Janvier. first, he is rich. second he is unhappy and wishes to be an artist, someone free. and whatever you can say, politics (and money) fits to Regulus, he is a Black after all.

James as Stella Spotlight, the old sex symbol, probably a soccer, who used to be so strong and handsome and now he’s starting to get old and marries Regulus a little for the money I'd say but because they both want freedom and there are looking for it in each other.

now I don’t know if this happens in the original Starmania but in the new version, we see Regulus and James assistants being in love with each other so I thought of Pandora and Lily. Lily being James manager and Pandora being Regulus advisor and right hand.

and finally, Mary as the Grand Gourou because we believe in a strong woman fighting for the future against a rich white man when she has everything to loose being one of the only reasonable people in this group and being very free sexually speaking

I really hope I didn’t forget anybody and for Roger-Roger, the voice of the news, I have no clues. maybe Andromeda because she watches everybody die, tells the story to Teddy but stay away from the conflict ?

hope this wasn’t too long (yes it is) and go see the new Starmania, it’s incredible !
