The long awaited 10 things I hate about u bartylus!!! Ft. Reg with the white streaks, cause I've been obsessed with it recently
@crimsonlovebartylus I thought you might like these
‘Bartylus is toxic because they fight all the time’ Bartylus is toxic because they never fight! They are allergic to ever bringing up their issues with one another ever! They think that therapy and baring your feelings is weak! They are terrified of upsetting the other and having them leave them that they never fucking fight!
Sirius hates Barty to the core, but he can't do anything to stop Regulus from falling in love with him.
And he doesn't even want to anymore.
Because not a single cell in Barty's body can hurt Regulus. He'd rather burn himself alive than let a single tear fall from those gray eyes. Because Barty loves Regulus like a fish needs water, he can't breathe without him.
Because Regulus has finally found his person.
Because Sirius doesn't want his little brother to suffer anymore, even if Barty is the one who licked his wounds and gave him some peace of mind.
Absolutely a sucker for misunderstood Bartylus because of all the people irl that think it’s toxic. Like yes, I absolutely eat up in-universe characters having the same negative ideas about Bartylus that irl haters do and them all being wrong.
Like they think Barty is a chronic cheater, manipulator because he always cuts regulus off when he starts to answer stuff and answers for him, and is like policing him because he always hanging off of him and never leaves him alone. But Barty actually laughs in the face of anyone who thinks they’re even near enough to regulus’ level that he would even think of looking their way, he talks for regulus a lot because he knows regulus doesn’t like small talk and actually prefers Barty to shoo them away with his own answers, and come on they just like to be physically touching all the time it is a thing they both enjoy.
And they think Regulus is using Barty because he’s always batting his eye lashes and getting barty to do stuff for him, he’s corrupting barty and turning him not only away from his family but his moral values, and is emotionally jailing him by ‘makings sure’ that barty is only ever happy with him and no one else. Regulus genuinely doesn’t realize half the time how quick Barty is to jump to his aid and when he does he just thinks it’s cute he doesn’t actually expect or demand Barty to do this barty just does because he wants to, and regulus isn’t corrupting Barty he’s making barty feel comfortable and accepted enough to be his actual self both around regulus and in public, and regulus has no control over the fact barty is only ever the soft kind of happy with him that’s just Barty’s design.
"Plot twist" and it's just a strike of tragedy that completes the story of that character
Would y'all want da Pinterest? I've got a board of my fic on there(if u wanna try to decode that cause I've got lots of stuff from all over the plot and of significance in there) and like stuff on my vampire cowboy oc...
regulus and barty thrive in drama settings, they are that couple that doesn't get involved really but do 100% instigate shit.
sirius: remus said love you not i love you, does he hate me?
regulus: oh yes, he totally hates you
barty: *holding regulus lovingly* oh yeah, hes totally fucking someone else.
bartylus are dead to you, to me they are thriving and living happily ever after
Came back to this because it reminded me of smthn, and then I remembered what I thought of what reg was like the few weeks before he died and was like-oh- this is even sadder to me actually. I think that, as kreatcher said, he wasn't himself you know that whole deal. He was stuck in his head and detatched from everything. It was like he was a walking corpse. So when barty managed (in this au) to sustain regs body, it was no different to how it was intereacting with Regulus in the weeks leading up to his disapearence. The only difference is the sound of his heart beat or steady breathing, and barty now wasn't able to look into his dusty-blue, blinking eyes. But sleeping next to him every night was the same. Both before and after, he was (as you said) constantly waiting for something to happen, trying his best to pretend that it's all normal, but secretly so scared. (This is from my post a few months ago, and I think, after barty had found him, this is what it would still be like) ->
AU where Barty never stopped looking for Regulus when he was pronounced dead because Regulus can’t just die. AU where Barty drove himself mad living off of energy and nutrient potions because he didn’t have time to doddle what if regulus needed him?! AU where Barty looked and looked and actually found him. AU where Barty’s search amounts to a lake with docile inferi and the love of his life he,d down at the bottom by them. AU where in a grief induced magical rage, he fights and leaves with Regulus’ cold, dripping body in his arms and keeps it for himself.
Barty refuses to think that after everything regulus was, after eveyrthing he fought for, regulus was just gone. It can’t be real, he has to be able to do something. So he meticulously maintains his corpse, using deep,y dark magic he clawed and bit to get his hands on to revert it back to its previous state, to a point it looks as if regulus is simply sleeping in his home, but he never wakes up.
Barty lovingly tucking regulus into his bed so he can further delude himself into believing his love, his heart, is just sleeping with a kiss to his forehead and a lingering touch over every part of him. Barty who watches as his chest doesn’t rise and fall and closes his eyes to escape it. Barty who gives in after what feels like eternity to climb into the bed himself and nuzzle his head back where it belongs, against Regulus’ chest. He moves regulus’ arms to wrap loosely over his neck and sighs in relief because finally he’s back in his arms. Barty who sleeps, really sleeps, for the first time in weeks in this bed he made with a corpse in tow.
Barty who spends his time sitting by Regulus’ body with his head knocked against one of regulus’ hands or maybe in his cold lap and simply begs him to wake up but he won’t. Barty sniffling when he presses kisses to his lover’s cold face and whispering ‘don’t cry darling’ and he can’t tell if he’s talking to regulus or if regulus is talking to him.
Barty who whispers in his own home because as much as he desperately begs and wishes for regulus to wake up, he’s gotten into habit of fearing that just as much. He looks at Regulus like he could wake up at any moment, like a Jack in a box ready to spring, and he can’t help but brace himself for some sort of impact. He’s afraid, but he’s hopeful, and still so utterly in love.
Barty who murmurs sweet nothings amidst his apologies for being too loud to a body who can’t hear him, ‘I’m sorry my lovely go back to sleep.’
And then years later, after yet another separation and time locked away in his own mind behind imperio, Barty swears he hears the dementor whisper in a voice he’s been craving so for all his life ‘Come to bed, my love.’
GUYS PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT THE PREACHERS DAUGHTER FIC!!!!! THE FIRST COUPLE CHAPTERS ARE BEING WRITTEN RIGHT NOW!!!! PLEASEEE
I'm here to hear!!!! Please rant about whatever you want cause I want to know everything abt this fic
Hii!!! So first and foremost I made a basic post about this and the characters' roles a while a go here,->
But I'll go into more depth now, because I have the full idea of exactly how it'll all go, though I still want to keep some stuff secret just cause it'll be more fun for y'all I think. As I said, this isn't going to exactly follow the plot of preachers daughter, but I will be using the main themes and subjects surrounding it, along with ones to do with the individual identities of reg + barty. This is set in Louisiana between 1995-1999, though there are memories to when they were kids(but not very often). Sirius is about 10 years older than reg and left the family when reg was just 8. And once his dad died 2 years later, his mother (who was already dealing with some issues) falls completely grief stricken and falls further into her mental illness, leaving Regulus to take care of both of them for her. Barty and reg used to be friends when they were quite young, but the first few years after orions death kept Regulus quite busy and he was kept home by his mom most of the time to "protect him" so they grew distanced. Eventually they got competitive with their schooling and all that. So this is where we pick up the story, Regulus is on his first day of grade 10, and because it's such a small town, they're in all the same classes. Now, the things I used from the story of PD especially were the different parental relationships, generational trauma(for both of them, but shown in VERY different ways), religious trauma(specifically Catholic because that's what I grew up in so it's the deno. I know best, but also. Cults. ), lots and LOTS of fate, the American Dream and pressures from it. This story is very dark and is very horror adjacent, but more so in an eery "some things not right" , disturbing kind of way, though there are some VERY in your face moments that are used for very specific reasons. The main settings for this is the small (made up) town of St peters louisiana, a road trip up the east coast, Nebraska (😧), Helena Montana, and California. There is SO SO SO much foreshadowing and metaphors/symbols I've hidden all over the place. Like genuinely, every thing they do or don't do is incredibly intentional for each character and themes. There is extreme foreshadowing within just the first few chapters. Anyways, any other questions, feel free to shoot another ask!! Also I will be putting out the pintrest board I made for it soon(which has lots of main plot points littered throughout it), and the chapter by chapter playlist because each chapter has a specific song. It's gonna veryyy long, ive still got the last quarter give or take to finish drafting out and I'm at 53 chapters so far. Anyways! I've started writing it finally cause I've been drafting this out for the last 4 months🙏 but, yeah, any thing else at all you're curious about to do with this send me an ask cause it my favourite thing ever😭

BARTYLUS
Unrequited Bartylus is just so precious to me for some reason.
Barty thinks Regulus loves him the same way he loves Regulus. But Regulus doesn't realise Barty likes him in that way, he thinks it's a friends with benefits situation without any feelings involved... So one day when he goes to his dorm to tell Barty, his best friend, about James Potter and how he thinks he's falling for Jamie, he doesn't quiet understand why Barty looks like he's going to breakdown.
Barty thought it was more than just a quick fuck between two friends. So hearing about James Potter broke him. He knew it showed on his face so he covered it up quickly and teased Regulus, before making some two-bit exuse and running Dorcas' dorm- she always helps...
[And Evan was there watching as his bestfriend broke the heart of the boy Evan loved, getting his own heart broken]
the fact that classical musician regulus and punk band barty isn’t widespread is a crime against humanity
THEY GO SO WELL TOGETHER like barty and reg both in uni for music and barty is in a band that plays in bars and has little underground shows here and there and is covered in tattoos and smokes like a chimney and goes out clubbing sees regulus one day in the music room on the piano just casually playing the best piano he's ever heard and stands there listening to him with a smile because yes he's staring at those long, thin fingers but also this guy is so talented it hurts and he wants to invite him to a show but doesn't want to interrupt the music
Imagine when Regulus is having a bad day he just turns into his animagus form and walks around the flat as a little black cat, jumping on the counter when Barty is making coffee and just nuzzling his arm until Barty reaches down and they bump foreheads STOP
when he's drunk enough, and barty's around, regulus will do the BEST rendition of 'gotta go my own way' from hsm2 and barty does the WHAT ABOUT US so passionatley bro i love goofy bartylus
Trans Regulus ‘I wish I was allowed to buy nice suits but mother would kill me’ Black and Barty ‘Here take mine. I was just going to burn them anyways… they were my dads’ Crouch
oh i LOVE this, i feel like they share clothes all the time, even before they started dating. like regulus originally wears a lot of tighter clothes so barty basically has a million crop tops to choose from, then reg starts wearing his and everything is baggy because he's so tall and buys xl's when he doesn't need them and barty loves how reg looks, but yes sharing a suit is so them, barty is like doing the buttons on the shirt for him and reg is glancing over his shoulder at himself in the mirror for the first time and smiling at how he looks and barty is just smiling at his happiness because yes this suit isn't something good to him but its good to someone he cares about and thats what matters AH
