snippet:
“You have given up immortality for me. All I have done is cause you pain,” Regulus counters. He places his palms on either side of James’ face and runs his thumb along the man’s lower lip. “Selfishly, I still wish you to stay.”
“Is it selfish, or is it right?” James reasons, turning his head to kiss Regulus’ palm. “I would commit every selfish act of sin a hundred times and invent a thousand more if it meant I could save you, keep you, protect you for eternity. I have no care as to who I hurt, so long as you are happy. Does that make me selfish? Perhaps. Yet I would never change a thing.”

“But when you look in his eyes
Do you think of mine?
And when you look at that smile
Do I cross your mind?
I know in your head
You see me instead
‘Cause he looks a lot like I did
Back then
Baby dont lie
He's just a lookalike”
Regulus tried to pretend. But he’d never been that great of an actor. He tried to fool himself, knowing it was helpless.
He couldn’t pretend it didn’t hurt. After he and James had broken up, after a tumultuous relationship of 2 years, he had locked himself in his room for days. His friends had practically had to drag him out of bed to go to meals and classes after a week.
And through all of this, somehow someway, James had survived. No. he hadn’t even survived, he had thrived.
He won more quidditch games after they broke up, he seemed lighter, brighter. Regulus often caught himself watching James at meals, gazing at his smile and wondering why he hadn’t been able to be the cause of it. James laughed more now. And he never glanced at the slytherin table,
Well, almost never.
A month after Regulus and James broke up, James had hearts in his eyes again. And he and Barty announced their relationship to the group.
Barty.
Regulus’ best friend of 6 years, his confidant and the one he had cried to the most over the breakup.
Regulus hadn’t handled the news well, screaming and crying and throwing things at Barty. Evan had to restrain him, holding him and telling Barty to leave the dorm.
The weeks following, Regulus slipped into a routine. Avoiding all human interaction entirely, he hardly went to meals- choosing to visit the kitchens in his breaks and late at night.
He kept his grades up, not wanting to face his teachers’ worry. He spent almost all of his time in the library: reading, drawing, sleeping, journaling, anything to keep his mind busy.
Because he was afraid of what he thought when he had the time.
What if Barty was better than him? What if Barty and James had been together even while Regulus and him were? What if Regulus just wasn’t enough? Or even worse, too much?
And, Regulus realized after a while, he actually missed James. He was still so in love with him that he had a hard time being angry sometimes.
If Barty was what made James happy, then why couldn’t he be happy for him?
Maybe Regulus needed to move on, find someone new. He tried to go to parties, but everyone he attended, James and Barty were there. And those two always found a way to be the center of attention.
Evan comforted him, knowing that though he and Barty had broken up a year before, he could somewhat sympathize with Regulus’ feeling of betrayal.
And when Regulus went home for the holidays, he accepted his parents rough teachings, he kept silent and let them think he would join them.
And when he ran away finally, no one had expected it. And no one knew where he went.
Regulus had escaped, he was free to live as he pleased, to think and breathe by himself without the eyes of others, the expectations.
When Regulus was older, laying in his bed alone late at night, he would think back to James and his relationship, wishing it had never ended but also so grateful it had.
“And I'll admit that I
Sometimes, maybe, might
Think about you at night
No matter how I try to hide
And erase you from my mind
I’m dying
To find a lookalike”
“journal” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 306 words
James is leaning against the door frame taking in the scene in front of him.
Regulus is sitting on the living room floor with his back against the couch. There’s a film playing on the TV, music coming from a separate speaker in the corner and a laptop open on the coffee table playing a YouTube video. Regulus’ journal is open on the floor beside him, there’s a book open but forgotten in his lap and Regulus is leaning against the couch scrolling on his phone.
“What are you doing, love?” James asks fondly after a minute.
“Just watching YouTube.” Regulus says simply without looking up.
James smiles and walks over to sit behind Regulus on the couch. Regulus tilts his head back and James leans down to kiss him.
“What’s with everything else?” James asks.
“What do you mean?” Regulus asks looking genuinely confused and James just sort of nods towards the various things around the room.
“Oh… well, I’m watching the YouTube video, but the TV is background noise and the music helps me focus. But sometimes my mind still gets distracted so I like to read for a bit while I’m watching and that helps me pay attention to the video. And then either the video or the book or the music will make me think of something so I have my journal to write it down so I don’t forget. And right now, I’m looking for what I want to watch next and also scrolling TikTok.” Regulus explains like it’s completely obvious.
“I love the way your mind works.” James smiles at him again and leans down for another kiss.
James settles back on the couch and starts watching the film and Regulus goes back to watching YouTube. (And reading. And listening to music. And journaling. And scrolling. And chatting with James about the film.)

Regulus’ eyes droop heavily as he starts reading from the top of the page again, desperately trying to focus and finish this passage. He’s reread the same page of this textbook approximately four times already, and he’s too exhausted to even be frustrated by that.
His eyes are unfocused and he’s drifting off again when someone pulls out a chair beside him, sitting close and nudging his knee with theirs.
His heart stutters when he looks up.
James looks at him with soft eyes, concern lining his features. “What are you doing up so late, baby? The library is closing soon.”
Regulus sighs and drops his head forward into the space between James’ shoulder and neck. He grumbles inaudibly.
James’ laughter fills him with a joy so consuming he thinks he could float right up and away. James runs a hand across his back and up to his curls, gentle fingers massaging his scalp. “I can’t hear you, love. What’s wrong?”
“My exam is next week and I can’t finish this damn passage and I’m so fucking tired I can’t read anymore and I just want to crawl into a hole and wait until exam season is over. I want to hibernate,” Regulus mumbles against James’ shoulder.
James kisses the top of his head. “How about this—you can sit here and drink this tea I brought—here—” he pushes the tea across the table towards Regulus, “and I’ll read the passage out loud to you. I’ll drag you to bed right after.”
But Regulus pouts and whines and tucks his face further against James’ neck. “But you’re busy and it’s late and you’re probably tired too and you shouldn’t have to do that and—”
James lifts his head with a gentle hand and hushes him. He peppers light kisses all over Regulus’ face—he’s immediately flustered and bristles but James just continues until he melts right into him. Regulus loses himself in a giggle as James kisses him all over.
James holds him tight to his chest. “I know I don’t have to do this, but I’m here and I want to be with you. Will you let me read to you?”
Regulus sighs and picks up the tea. The warmth and comfort of the lemon and honey wash over him, and he leans back against James. “Let’s start from the top, then.”
The next week, Regulus finds James nodding off at the same table in the library. He sits and reads to him, too.

“I want a crow.” Regulus announces as he passes the last of a joint back to James.
Regulus and James were bored. It’s a Sunday night, they don’t have any classes tomorrow, all their friends are busy, and James had a joint left over from the party last weekend.
One thing led to another and now Regulus is lying on his back on the floor with his hands in the air. He interlocks his thumbs and is flapping his hands like a bird.
“You want a what?” James giggles from where he’s lying on the couch.
“A crow.” Regulus repeats. “You know… like the bird.” He flaps his hands in James’ direction for emphasis.
“Why do you want a crow?”
“Because they’re really smart and if you’re going to get a bird, you should definitely get a crow.” Regulus tells him.
“Who said I wanted to get a bird?” James asks.
“I did! Right now. Aren’t you listening?” Regulus drops his hands and rolls on his side to look at James.
“Sorry, love. I thought you wanted a crow.” James smiles at him.
“We should both get crows. We should get a whole murder of crows!” Regulus says excitedly as he crawls towards the couch.
“You want to murder the crows?” James asks with wide eyes.
“No, silly, that’s what a group of crows is called.” Regulus giggles and climbs up on the couch to snuggle in beside James. “We should get a whole group of crows, and we can feed them, and they’ll bring us little gifts.” Regulus yawns and cuddles even closer to James.
“Will they, now?” James says sweetly and wraps his arms around Regulus.
“Yup. That’s what they do.” Regulus says but his words are slurred with sleep and his breathing evens out almost immediately.
James squeezes Regulus one more time before he also falls asleep and has a very weird dream about crows.
