sirius: look!

the restaurant:

Mistakes (1/1) (jegulus)

Regulus didn't know what he was going to do. He was so worried James was going to be mad. James had never been mad for this type of thing before, but here he was looking at his 4-year-old's crayon scribbles all over James' book draft.

Regulus hadn't realized what the stack of paper was and told Harry he could grab pieces to draw on from the pile on James' desk. When he came back from getting him some water Regulus saw the printed text of the nearly-finished story covered.

"Oh no," Regulus had said when he realized. Harry pouted and when Regulus started picking things up trying to fix it, Harry knew he had done something bad but wasn't too sure what. His small face quickly filled with sadness; He didn't want his dad to be disappointed in him.

James was going to be home any minute, and sure enough Regulus heard the car pull in the driveway. There was nothing he could do, feeling himself go into a mix of protect and fight mode, he couldn't keep his expression neutral. Harry read the fear because it was all over his face and started to cry.

James walked into a very upset household. He had gone to call out his usual happy hello, but he heard his son crying and walked into the living room to see Regulus cradling him in his lap, whispering reassurances soothingly to him: "tu n'as rien fait de mal, c'est moi qui t'ai dit de l'utiliser, c'était juste une petite erreur."

"Hey..." James said tentatively.

"Okay. Listen- James it was just an accident. I'm so sorry but I told Harry to grab paper from the pile on your desk and he grabbed your manuscript instead and drew all over it, but it wasn't his fault okay I told him too, blame me." Regulus rushed out, holding Harry a little bit tighter.

James understood what was happening right away. "Love it's okay, simple mistake. That's just the draft anyway," James said walking over and kneeling down next to them. He put a hand on Harry's back.

"It's okay son, just a little mistake yeah?" James said softly. Harry turned his tear stained face to look at James and then held his arms out for James to take him into a big hug.

Regulus immediately calmed, but his eyes stayed cautious as he watched James pick up the pages Harry drew on.

"Reg, we should frame these!" James said after looking at them. "Honestly how cool that he put his art on mine and now it's this abstract." James said turning the page to see it from different angles, forever finding the bright side.

Then James turned around and grabbed the crayons, "here," he said handing the paper and crayons to Regulus. "You draw on there too, then we can all have a piece of it!" James said.

Harry was smiling from his lap now as he watched Regulus transcribe the notes from the the lullaby James and Regulus had made up for Harry.

"We will put it on the fridge for now, yes? Then get a frame on the weekend!" James explained and Harry followed him into the kitchen to watch James hang it with a "special magnet" Harry picked.

"You okay?" James asked as he saw Regulus lean in the doorway.

"Now yes, was a bit freaked out for a moment. Sorry about that..." Regulus said dropping his gaze.

"You have absolutely nothing to be sorry about." James reassured and then pressed a sweet kiss on his head.

Let's see it (1/1) (jegulus)

Regulus was sitting surrounded by his family and friends, everyone warm and bubbly and happy. The sounds weren't too loud but the house was filled with laughter. The energy was palpable but Regulus didn't feel anything but a wonderful sense of home.

As he sat, his body remembered for him a time where he was sitting in a similar position, at a similar time, but any celebrations were clouded by disappointment and expectations so high he would waste away before he could ever meet them. A house that was so cold and callous, and the sounds were either deafening silence or screams. The fear that ruled over him in this memory crept up and up and up, until he was chocking on it.

And then he breathed. Closing his eyes he took two more steadying breaths. He opened them and looked around, taking in his present time. And then little hands were pulling at his shirt. Regulus looked down, a small smile turning up his lips.

"Papa are you okay?" Harry said with a tiny voice.

Regulus leaned down to pick his son up, already too intuitive for his own good. But Regulus held him tight and mused his messy hair, "oui mon beau, I'm okay."

"Were you remembering?" Harry asked. Regulus was proud that his son said that word finally without a stutter. It was the explanation James had given to Harry as sometimes Regulus gets pulled into a memory, and his whole body seems to return, and he often goes quite still.

"Yes darling, I was." Regulus said. "I'm okay, because I get to open my eyes and see all this love around me," he reassured. And he watched as Harry's eyes followed as he pointed around the full room. Together, they caught James watching them, and when caught decided to walk over.

"Alright?" James said crouching down and wrapping both of them in a hug.

"Yeah dad we are just looking at love, right Papa?" Harry said and then looked up at Regulus, who nodded in confirmation.

"Ahhh I see. Well there's lots to look at isn't there?" James chuckled.

Regulus leaned over to kiss James' cheek, "yes, yes there is."

*Everyday when James and Regulus see each other in the halls before they start dating*

Regulus: fuck off

James: love you too

*the one day James is having a bad day*

James: fuck off

Regulus: love you too

James: *freaks out for several days*

Jegulus Microfic: Flower

Sirius, Remus, and Peter just stared at James and the bundle in this arms with matching expressions of disbelief. 

“James,” Remus said nervously, “mate, you got him flowers? Him?”

“Regulus?” Peter added, as though that weren’t already obvious.

James just ignored them, he was proud of what he’d picked out. 

“He’ll like them,” he said confidently. 

Sirius grimaced. “My brother? Regulus Black? Will like flowers?” he asked. 

James just nodded. 

“He’ll like these.”

All of his friends nodded awkwardly and a chorus of “sure” and “okay” followed. 

-

Undeterred, James brought the flowers with him when he met up with Regulus for their date. 

Regulus looked a little bit confused to be handed flowers, until James put a finger to his lips. 

“Just watch,” he whispered. 

Regulus didn’t argue, but he did startle in surprise after James whispered “Incendio” and the flowers went up in flames in a beautiful green blaze.

Regulus’ face burst into a smile.

“The Quidditch match?” he asked.

James nodded excitedly. “This is me wishing you good luck. More like this if you win.”

A smile tilted one corner of Regulus’ mouth up. 

“You’d better fill the room with them.”

James just grinned confidently.

“I knew you’d like them,” he said. 

Regulus considered the firey bundle in his hands for a moment before nodding. 

“I would like anything on fire, but making the flames green was a nice added touch. Nice one, James.”

James had been right. Of course. He always knew what Regulus would like. Take that, Sirius.

@jegulus-microfic - 252 words - 5/22

Regulus: *sneaking under the covers*

Sirius: What, and I mean this nicely, the fuck are you doing?

Regulus: *realising he had in fact NOT found the right bed in the dark*

Regulus:

Sirius:

Regulus: heyyyy... remember- remember when we were children... and-

Sirius: *yawning but throwing the covers open* just get in

Regulus: *slowly and wordlessly crawling in*

Sirius:

Regulus:

Sirius: ...are you alright?

Regulus: *mortified* fine. im fine, just sleep. go to sleep.

[the next day]

James: *in tears*

Regulus: actually fuck off I haven't gone to his bed like that since I was nine

James: why didn't you just pretend you'd been sleepwalking?! what happened to "im a slytherin, i never panic"?

Regulus:

Regulus:

Regulus: *dejected* i truly cant put into words how much i hate you and the way you remember everything

I don't care how annoying you find him, we know for a fact that Slughorn loved teaching reg and I'll bet anything reg liked him too because he was NEVER praised at home so having an adult proud of him made him feel special

So

I propose this

Minnie: Sirius Black called me 'mum' by accident today

Horace: Really? Regulus accidentally called me 'dad'

Minnie: they're very traumatised

Horace: yeah, you're probably right

sirius and regulus, the most beautiful stars in the night sky.

james would wear these all the time unironically

Them🙏🙌🐍

anytime Sirius or Regulus starts a story by saying "when I was a child.." James has to brace himself for whatever he's about to hear

Barty would love How Bad Can I Be from the Lorax i fucking know it

The one where Regulus knows that Remus is a werewolf

“How?” James scratches his head trying to remember if he perhaps slipped one of the nights that they shared wine or whiskey. Perhaps he talks in his sleep and Regulus failed to mention it.

“James.” Regulus rolls his eyes without looking up from his book. “You have made some weak excuse to not spend the night with me nearly every full moon for two years. I actually thought maybe it was you until I found out you're an animagus yourself. Werewolves can’t be both. Did you know?”

Regulus is sometimes too perceptive for his own good. James truly thought he was getting away with it. He figured he would have noticed if Regulus had suspicions. He’s far too skilled in his control. In keeping his secrets hidden. James would have been none the wiser had he not plainly admitted he knew about Remus’ affliction moments before.

“I did know that,” James responds. He’s impressed. And mildly annoyed that Regulus holds so much of his knowledge privately when James feels like an open book.

“I assume my brother and Peter share your ability?” Regulus asks it nonchalantly, and leaves James stunned once again. He really needs to get better at keeping secrets.

“Erm…” James fills the space with the awkward word. Regulus is enjoying seeing him squirm under the pressure of revealing all of his mate’s crimes.

“No offense, James, but if anyone is wise to the fact that any of you are an animagus, they’re going to figure out pretty quickly that you all are. Sirius calls you Prongs, for Merlin’s sake. You all call Remus Moony. Not exactly subtle nicknames.”

It’s a fair point. When they created their nicknames in fourth year, it hadn’t occurred to them that it was a tell. They were young and naive. They thought they would remain the untouchable Marauders forever. The nicknames have become so ingrained in their friendships it’s second nature to switch back and forth between their given names and the nicknames regardless of their present company. James makes a mental note to remind his mates to use caution with them moving forward.

“Does it hurt having to carry around all that information all the time?” James relents to the fact that he may never be able to keep a secret from Regulus. He’s too observant. Too clever. Regulus' lip quirks up as he continues reading his book. James knows he won’t acknowledge nor accept the compliment. He pulls his face from the book and forces him to look up at him. He kisses the forehead that contains Regulus’ brilliant mind.

the black cousins

all the hidden meanings!

colors:

red is the color of sirius’ shirt, narcissa’s lips and regulus’ pocket handkerchief. red represents how they rebelled against their family (sirius ran away and was openly against their morals, narcissa lied to voldemort and basically helped defeating him w her words, regulus turned against voldemort at the last moment, dying for his cause)

narcissa and andromeda are the only ones not wearing black, and they’re the only survivors in this picture.

clothes and accessories:

andromeda is wearing a white dress that resembles a bride’s dress, because she ran away to marry ted. her and sirius’s clothes are also less restricting than regulus and narcissa’s, because unlike their younger siblings they got their freedom.

andromeda, like her cousins, is wearing silver jewelry, aside from a gold ring (her engagement ring), and with her hand she’s covering a family pendant (she chose love over her family). regulus is wearing a pin that looks like salazar’s locket.

poses and such:

andromeda isn’t looking at the camera because she was the first to “look away from her family”, and sirius is looking at her because he would soon follow in her footsteps (andy also has a hand on his shoulder to further represent her influence on him). similarly, bellatrix (who is the only one smiling) is keeping an hand on narcissa so she wouldn’t leave. narcissa has a hand clenched in a fist, covered by her left, (as a way to hide her defiance).

ok i think this is all but i’m not sure lmao xx

hope you like it ^^

John Mulaney and Barty Crouch Jr have the exact same vibes and I will not explain myself

Sirius catches James and regulus kissing in the restricted section

Sirius: HOW COULD YOU!??? HOW COULD YOU BETREY ME LIKE THIS??? I CANT BELIEVE YOU! TELL ME ITS JUST A NIGHTMARE AND YOU DIDNT ACTUALLY DO IT!!!

Brings up their *not so pinky promise but still counts as a pinky promise* hands

Sirius(blushing): THIS IS INCEST

James: FUCKING ON MY BED IS ALSO AN INVASION OF PRIVA- *sirius tackles him down*

James and Regulus as an interpretation of Orpheus and Eurydice by Catharine Adelaide Sparkes

after seeing the beautiful interpretation of Narcissus as Regulus by @/asbee_.art on instagram, I wanted to try my hand at a classical mythology paraphrase as well, and James just feels very Orpheus to me, som here we are

Just as James has settled on the bed while he reads over Sirius' notes, there's a knock at the door.

"Reggie?" Sirius calls out, and the door opens to reveal a roud face with flushed cheeks and messy curls that almost cover the younger boy's eyes. "How many times must I tell you that if it's you at my door you don't need to knock?"

Reggie- Regulus, James remembers as he scrambles to straighted up on the bed in an attempt to look decent, glances at James.

"I just wanted to be polite." He says, voice soft. "You have a guest."

"It's just Jimmy." Sirius dismisses without missing a beat. "Don't worry about him."

James rolls his eyes at Sirius' back, shooting up and onto his feet. "James Potter!" He smiles his best smile, utterly satisfied when Regulus' blush deepens. "It's a pleasure, finally meeting you."

"Hi, James." Regulus walks into the room, holding his hand out to James with a shy smile. "I'm Regulus. I... I like your jumper."

James squeezes Regulus' hand before letting it go. "Thank you, I bought it a couple of weeks ago." There's much James could comment on when it comes to Regulus' appearance: Regulus is wearing a jumper himself, bigger than his slight frame, with fluffy socks that match its colour and a pair of light blue pants with clouds printed on them.

He's so cute.

James watches Sirius from the corner of his eye, but his friend is still distracted by the message Moony sent him that he's trying to decipher. He leans into Regulus' space, winking when he says: "I like your smile."

Regulus tries to hide it behind one of his hands, but his smile widens and his whole being brithens at the compliment. James has to fight against the urge to coo at him.

Before he can answer James, Sirius clears his throat. When James turns towards him, he finds Sirius watching him with raised eyebrows. James sheepishly moves away from Regulus, sitting back on the bed and pretenting to still be reading from the notes.

"Reggie." Sirius nods at the other boy to go to his side. "Ignore Potter, he has to study from my notes because he's an idiot."

Regulus hesitates for a second, but then he follows his brother's orders, leaning on his side when he reaches him. "What are you doing, 'rius? I'm bored."

"Replying to a wonderful, maddening individual. Take my switch, turn the playstation on, I don't care. Just sit with me, alright?"

Regulus is too delighted by his brother's words to pay attention to the way Sirius leans away so he can glare daggers at James. "I'm gonna start playing The Last of Us, then!"

"Yeah sure," Sirius hums distractedly, but he's smiling. "I'll take over once I'm done here, okay?"

"Thank you!" Regulus turns to James, gesturing towards the TV. "I get easily spooked." He admits.

James is fucked. It's as simple as that. "That's fair," he says, struggling to keep a hold of the notes. "Want me to-"

"Why don't you finish studying, Jimbo?" Sirius cuts in, eyes still stuck to his phone's screen. His voice is like ice, and James sighs in defeat. "Wouldn't want Professor Sprout to fail you, right?"

"Right..."

evan, barty, and regulus spent deatheater meetings talking shit and making jokes about the other members the entire time and you can't convince me otherwise

for example:

---

Evan: is malfoy wearing a bow in his hair?

Barty: merlins beard he is

Regulus: you think narcissa tied it for him?

Barty: i bet she probably brushes his hair every morning

Regulus: theres definitely a reason that he has healthy hair and i highly doubt its because lucius malfoy is a hygienic person

Evan: thank merlin for that, wouldn't want another snivellus situation on our hands

*collective snickering*

--- *at a dinner meeting after a member is killed by voldemort*

Barty: oh shit there goes the new guy

Regulus: what do you think he did?

Evan: bet you 5 galleons he asked why voldy looks like someone plucked a chicken and dipped it into olive oil

Barty: *chokes and spits out his drink*

---

Regulus: did snape cut his hair?

Evan: did he? merlins beard he looks horrid

Barty: parents don't care about him

Evan: wonder how greasy and hard it was to cut that shit

Regulus: the clippers probably kept slipping

Barty: hairdresser probably asked him if he wanted it shampooed and he said 'no i have a legacy to uphold'

Evan: legacy of smelling like merlins ball grease

*more snickering*

---

Regulus: did you hear? narcissa is pregnant

Evan: really?

Barty: oh merlin, poor her, she had to have sex with malfoy

Evan: i cannot imagine the horror

Regulus: strong woman she is

Barty and Evan: *nodding in agreement*

--
