Unpopular opinion, but I do wholeheartedly believe, that Sirius would NOT mind James dating his brother, at least not the way the whole fandom thinks so. Personally, if it were to concern James' loyalty/treatment I believe Sirius knows BEST just how James Potter is when he loves someone and would personally think his brother couldnt've chosen better. The things Potter did for Sirius himself, the lengths he goes for people, the fierce loyalty and determination in him - you cannot convince me that Sirius would not acknowledge that. I genuinely believe that if he were to have a real problem it would be with Regulus himself.
Thank you to listening to my rants

WIP for that large Gambit piece, this style takes a while due to the heavy inking, but I do love the therapeutic process of getting there.
Still holding out for the Return Of The King later on in this season of X-Men 97, our Cajun Spice deserves the world.
Planning to play a little with his design as Apocalypse’s ‘Deathbringer’ as well.

Prompt 23 - Resist
@jegulus-microfic April 23, Word count 648
As requested by @phoenixtears13 there may even be a part 3
First part
James stood by the quidditch stands, absolutely stunned. Sirius’s little brother had just tackled him and slammed him against these very stands. And what had he done? He’d reacted and swung them around, crushing him against them instead.
Regulus had caught him just wrong, right in the massive bruise hidden by his jumper. He’d growled at the boy. But as soon as Regulus had gone limp in his hands, he’d panicked and tried to find help. Regulus had asked him so quietly and sadly to let him go that he’d just dropped him and prayed the boy could hold himself up.
James hadn’t been prepared when Regulus shoved him, but he stepped back when he realised what he wanted and watched as the strange boy literally ran away from him.
The main problem James was having, though, was the whiff of night air and dark wood mixed with something lighter, maybe floral, that had lingered after Regulus had disappeared. He couldn’t quite place it.
He’d smelt that particular collection of scents before, but he couldn’t remember where. He puzzled over it as he made his way up to Gryffindor Tower and the awaiting party.
“We did it, mate!” Sirius boomed as he hung off James’s neck, a half-drunk bottle of firewhisky sloshing about in his hand. “Ha, did you see Reggie’s face? He was not happy!” Sirius barked a laugh, and James felt his body stiffen at the name. He couldn’t tell Sirius what had happened after the game. He’d do something reckless. Luckily, Remus came over and peeled Sirius off James’s neck to take him to get some water and food.
James tried to join in with the celebrations, but he had that niggling thought in the back of his mind, and it wasn’t until he saw someones forgotten potions textbook stuffed down the side of the cushion of the chair he was sitting in did the dots connect.
A wave of pure panic hit him. He must have looked a right sight as the horror of what those scents meant took over his mind.
He had to get out of there. So he rushed up to their dorm room and locked himself in the bathroom. He started hyperventilating. He’d smelled that combination in potions class when Slughorn had shown them the mother-of-pearl shimmering potion of Amortentia.
But how could it smell like Regulus Black? Regulus Black, Sirius’s little brother! Regulus Black, heir to the Black family! Regulus Black Death Eater in training!
He slumped to the floor, head in his hands. How could this have happened? But nothing had happened, had it?
James took a deep, steadying breath, raised himself off the floor and went back to join the party.
For the rest of the night, he kept telling himself it was nothing. Sure, it was a strange combination of scents, but there must be someone else out there that smelled the same, right?
By the time he went to bed, he couldn’t get Regulus out of his mind. He had to see him. He was sure it was all a misunderstanding. Unable to resist, he pulled out the Marauders Map and whispered to it while tapping his wand against the parchment.
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” He watched the inky lines spread over the parchment and reveal the enchanted map of Hogwarts.
He scanned it, trying to find the little marker that read Regulus Black. He wasn’t in the dungeons or out at the quidditch pitch or anywhere on the lower floors. Surely, at this time of night and after the team’s loss, he should be in bed. He was about to give up when his eyes flickered past a long name at the top of the Astronomy Tower. ‘Regulus Black’, written in Sirius’s elegant script.
James barely thought about it and, grabbing his invisibility cloak, hurried towards the name.

techniques i use in c2c crochet (and all other applicable crochet scenarios, really) people might find useful i can post tutorials on as i go
butterfly bobbins - you do not need cardboard or plastic bobbin winders to make bobbins you can just wind yarn in such a way it forms a bobbin by itself for $0 (and with 0 tiny fiddly things you will inevitably lose somewhere)
magic knot - join yarn to keep working in such a way that a) will not come undone and b) does not require any weaving of ends
there is no shorthand official name (as far as i know) but "joining a new colour in a way that does not leave an end you have to weave in later". call it lazy join or something idk
obviously you can just. look up how to do those (except the last one bc i don't know what - if anything - it's called or if it's just something i do because i will avoid weaving at all costs) but if anybody wants and would find it useful i can just take photos of the process next time i do it in this blanket and then post it like that one time i did "how to wind a centre-pull ball" or "doing surgery on a c2c blanket to replace a square"

rockstar! AU Sirius -- except that it is basically canon, duh
loosely based on the fanfic titled The Road Not Taken by @mollymarymarie (I will make fanart specifically for the fanfic too, stay tuned!)
also let me point y'all to this very old HP reread post highlighting this section because it is hilarious: "what if Sirius really IS Stubby Boardman, lead singer of The Hobgoblins? I’m serious. out of every single person in the Harry Potter universe, who seems the man most likely to create an alias and start a fucking rock band?"
also also, idk why it looks so dark, istg it had nice vibrant colours on my ipad... jamming in the woods after sunset kinda fits Sirius' brooding rockstar aesthetic tho, so i don't mind.
