I need more jock! regulus fics like he was also an athlete okay and he’s a black so he never does things in halves. I need regulus being buff or if not at the very least having the biggest sleeper build of all time. I need him to appear all calm and collected until his favourite quidditch team/football team is on then he goes crazy - he yells and screams and has zero filter. I need him to do workouts at home cause wdym he’s going to slack in the holidays he’s a black - just jock regulus guys

ok but what about a fic that's canon compliant except rosekiller are raising luna... and then they decide to raise harry too

what if xenophilius also died in the accident that killed pandora so luna was adopted by her uncles? what if evan finds out that dumbledore is raising harry to destroy the rest of voldemort's horcruxes (and himself, considering he is one) and absolutely loses his shit because one of his best friends and his sister died trying to get rid of one? what if he and barty decide to just steal harry after that?

harry getting to king's cross after his second year and finding that the dursleys aren't there because they were told not to come. luna appearing out of nowhere and telling him he's going to be staying with her family now, and her family being two guys who look absolutely murderous until they see her.

also can we imagine the order of the phoenix dynamic. like omfg rosekiller and sirius would be screaming at each other 24/7 and this is 100% how sirius finds out how regulus died and what dumbledore is doing with harry. i just. it would be very fun to write but also very angsty (and that's what this fandom loves, isn't it?)

"defender of the house-elves" 😭😭 what if I die

[wolvesandshine]

Girls be like “this is my comfort character!” And the show a boy who died tragically at 18 alone failing his first and only mission

regulus catching peter and sending his body to the rest of the marauders with the note “caught a rat. RAB.” is honestly one of the sexiest things i’ve ever read…

regulus black the man that you are…

james thinks he's lucky to have regulus because he is the only person to truly understand him and see that even through all of his light there's still darkness inside of him

regulus thinks he's lucky to have james because he saw through all of his darkness and found the light. He never gave up on him even though he was so tough to get through to

What if the potion explosion that killed Pandora was cause she was trying to make a potion that would destroy the locket?

Sirius leaves the house at odd times.

With no explanation.

Remus knows it’s not order business - he’s the one on a secret mission from Dumbledore after all.

And he tried confronting Sirius about it but well, they always ended up in the same argument with Sirius asking what he was up to.

And he couldn’t very well say he was working under Greyback cause he knew for a fact Sirius would storm in and murder everyone.

He wouldn’t be opposed to it if not for that fact that he knew that his work was important.

Meaningful.

But that still didn’t explain Sirius’s behaviour.

He thinks Sirius might be cheating on him - if not for the fact that he knew Sirius loved him more than possibly anyone else ever can.

So that only left one thing didn’t it?

Sirius was the spy.

And that’s the beginning of the end of the marauders.

In the end, Remus never quite finds out where exactly Sirius had been disappearing off to.

He never finds out that Sirius was searching for the ghost of someone - holding onto the hope that they escaped, that they’re still alive cause he was never meant to outlive his younger brother.

In the end, Sirius never finds his answer either cause he dies before the note is found.

I see a lot of “why is this ship not more popular” or “this ship would be more popular if not for this ship” and I’m like…

You’re missing out on my side of tumblr

We’ve got all the ships

You want nobleflower… here ya go

You want prongsfoot? Go ahead

Moonwater? Why not?

Regulus: I love you

Sirius: Who’s holding you hostage? Hold on Reggie I’m coming to save you -

Regulus: Merlin forbid I try to be a good brother

The people who compare Regulus to a star and James to the sun are correct, but consider: the sun IS a star. Regulus burns just as brightly as James does. You just have to get closer to him.

“Don’t you look tired today?”

Remus starts up at the voice from where he had been sleeping on the table at the library.

He blinks blearily, eyes landing on … Regulus Black? He blinks again, sure he’s hallucinating things.

The hallucination rolls his eyes. “And here I thought you were the one with the functioning brain cell in the group.”

Was - Was that a compliment? Remus had never been more blindsided in his life.

Regulus looks at him and purses his lips, as though he’s something stuck at the bottom of his feet.

And yes that expression Remus is familiar with.

“You’re close to Sirius.”

Remus blinks. That wasn’t news to anyone who knew them. Everyone knew they were best friends.

Well, they weren’t just best friends anymore but it wasn’t like Regulus Black of all people would know that.

They had been careful.

“Why do you care? Last I heard you were an only child.”

Remus knows it’s rude, downright mean but he couldn’t be bothered. He’d seen his boyfriend cry too many times over the boy in front of him so sue him if he couldn’t be nice.

Regulus’s face turns colder but otherwise he doesn’t seem affected.

The fucking nerve.

Before Remus can continue pushing Regulus adds, voice cold.

“I have the ability to make your life very miserable. Don’t test me.”

As he says that Regulus casually brushes a hand through his hair - showing off the numerous silver rings on his fingers.

Remus turns cold. How the fuck did Regulus find out that he’s a werewolf?

“Whatever you think you know about me you’re wrong.”

Regulus tilts his head, looking at Remus like he’s grading him. “Perhaps. But Sirius better be right. For your sake. ”

With that Regulus leaves leaving Remus gaping at him.

What the fuck? Did he just get the shovel talk from his boyfriend’s estranged possibly death eater brother?

Remus was too sleep deprived to deal with this.

[wolvesandshine]

that’s such a high compliment nothing will ever beat this high

It’s funny how grief works.

Sirius hates Grimmauld Place. He hates what it stood for. He hates that it reminds him of everything he wished to forget.

He was never supposed to come back here.

Yet the world had a cruel way of reminding him that life was unfair and especially loved to make Sirius as miserable as possible.

He ignores the room while he’s there. It’s easy to at first, with all the kids and adults in the house.

But when all of them leave - Sirius feels himself drawn to it.

The door is the same as ever, the sign created when they were children still hanging on the door.

“Do not enter without the explicit permission of Regulus Arcturus Black.”

Sirius stares at it, the abruptly starts laughing. His parents had obviously never bothered to ask permission but Sirius always did. But well, he couldn’t ask permission from a dead person now could he?

He doesn’t know when his laughs turn into heart wrenching sobs - at everything left unsaid between them.

He was so young. He was 17. He was still supposed to be in Hogwarts. Not fighting in a war he was forced into against his will.

Sirius should have done more. He knew he should have. He should have tried harder. But he was stubborn and young too, at only 19.

And now he’s 34 and Regulus is forever 17.

They never had the chance to make up and they never will again.

No thoughts just thinking about Regulus going from a curious child who used to speak endlessly to a quiet kid who learned to keep quiet just to survive and protect whatever little peace he had left

[wolvesandshine]

“Is somebody going to match my freak” but it’s Evan and Barty being absolutely batshit insane for each other

[wolvesandshine]

Yes yes James is a hardcore Quidditch fanatic and all but consider. Regulus is also on the Quidditch team and if you think James is bad? Regulus is fucking obsessed.

He’s the one who gets up at 5am to go running to build up endurance even though he hates mornings. He’s the one who stays up at night coming up with Quidditch strategies cause he refuses to lose. He’s the ruthless captain everyone hates but is secretly grateful for cause he’s the sole reason they even have a Quidditch streak to boast about.

[wolvesandshine]

The way both Sirius and Remus thought the other was the traitor and didn’t say anything? The way they still continued loving each other despite believing the other was the traitor? The way Remus still loved Sirius for twelve years despite the fact that he was in fucking Azkaban for murdering the rest of their friends?

Just thinking about how they will love each other no matter what the other does but they don’t trust each other enough to believe that neither of them would have ever been the traitor.
