Hey girl I loved cbbh! You’re so relented. Could you do dating head canons similar to the ones you did for regulus but with James? Have a nice day🫶🏻
Thanks so much dolly! Glad you enjoyed - here's your request!!!
A/N: Still figuring out the best formatting for these - each new text block = a headcanon, bullets are subcategories
Dating James Potter Headcanons
This man is an open book: whatever he is thinking, feeling, doing, is written all over his face
Cannot lie to save his life – therefore he is never the lookout for their pranks
It also means he can never surprise you because he gets too excited – he’s gone xmas shopping/shopping for your bday? You may as well open it the second he gets home; he’ll buy you another one anyway
Opposites attract is the motto James Potter lives by - this man’s soulmate will either be the black cat to his golden retriever, or the shy/quiet to his loud and outgoing, the introvert to his extrovert etc etc
Does not understand the concept of boundaries/personal space – THIS DOES NOT MEAN HE DOESN’T RESPECT BOUNDARIES – but he will be up in your personal space 24/7, sitting nearly on top of you, following you around, walking in on you changing without batting an eye, try feeding you or taking food right off your plate. I don’t know if it’s the only child thing, but he just does not seem to mind being all up in other people’s business
He’s very understanding if you tell him to back off though – will respect your boundaries (you just have to set them)
I actually don’t think James would be super into showering gifts all of the time, like he will absolutely buy you anything you want, but he’s not the kind of boyfriend to show up with gifts and trinkets or purses or new outfits/clothes/jewelry all of the time – at least not at first
I think this is because he grew up always just having what he wanted/needed so never thinks of it? It’s only when he’ll go out shopping for a specific reason that he accidentally comes home with 293843209473 unnecessary things that made him think of you or that you’d like or that would look pretty on you etc. etc.
He is 100000000000000% acts of service dude (at least in my mind)
Need the snow shoveled? Done
Need your oil changed? Done
Need to run to the store for something? His shoes are on
He definitely had to wear you down (as he is the opposite of you…hopeless romantic + the person who thinks they’re unlovable etc, etc)
In this day an age of consent and harassment etc, I don’t imagine him being the kind of guy who was like super annoying about it (even though you certainly got annoyed) but he was really polite about it
“Hi Y/N! fancy a trip with me to Hogsmeade this weekend?”
“In your dreams Potter.”
“Got it! Have a nice week.”
And then a few weeks later he’d try again
I think his 24/7 bubbliness freaked you out a bit – no one could ever possibly be that happy all of the time
He finally wore you down when you realized he could take things seriously
You’d gotten a rather painful letter from home and had secluded yourself into an empty classroom to cry in peace (this damn school is so big yet there’s nowhere to get some privacy!?)
“Y/N?” a timid voice from the doorway called to you
You sighed and tried to wipe the tears from your eyes in vain
“What do you want, Potter?”
He walked into the room and sat down across from you “Are you okay?”
You scoffed and rolled your eyes as fresh tears escaped you. “I think it’s pretty clear I’m not.”
He offered you a small smile. “Do you want to talk about it?”
You shook your head and looked to the ceiling in an attempt to stop the flow of tears
“Don’t stop crying, not on my account, not if you’re not ready to.”
You looked at him in bewilderment before you realized his face was solemn and sincere
A sob escaped you
Slowly, James moved from his spot across from you to take a seat beside you and just opened his arms – an invitation
You considered the fact that there was a chance you would regret it, but you couldn’t deny how inviting his embrace appeared
THIS MAN GIVES THE BEST HUGS I’m sorry there’s no if’s and’s or but’s. even in his platonic relationships – all his friends are like “James is the best hugger and best cuddler”
He never pressed you to talk about what had you so upset that day – just to let you know that you always could talk to him if you needed to
It’s like you saw him as a real human being for a minute: not a pureblood, not a quidditch player, not a marauder…just James.
It was refreshing
You agreed to go to Hogsmeade with him that weekend
It was a little awkward – you could tell he never really planned to get this far
You asked him questions about himself, and he seemed to loosen up fairly quickly after that
He was so excited to tell you about his friends, his parents, childhood pets, career aspirations
You’d ask follow-up questions and found yourself laughing at different anecdotes or side stories
Every time he’d answer one of your questions, he’d flip it back onto you
At first you thought he was making fun of you/being condescending when you’d tell a story because he was so, so, so into it. Like almost cartoonish in the way he dialed into your every word
You soon realized he was actually just so unbelievably interested in anything and everything you had to say and so grateful you were sharing with him
That never changed – he hung onto your every word throughout your entire relationship
He wants to be touching – all of the time
Walking? Holding hands
Sitting beside each other? Shoulders/thighs/knees/ankles are connected
Lounging on the couch? You’re on his lap
Studying? You’re sitting in the same chair and his chin is hooked over your shoulder
He’s a loud lover – aka, PDA, everyone who knows either of you knows that you’re together. He’s rarely seen in public without you and if you’re not there he’s probably talking about you
I could actually see James getting quite jealous/territorial
He’d try so hard to play it cool at a party if you were sitting on the couch and some other guy started hitting on you
He trusted you! He didn’t have to be standing guard at every given moment
Everyone knew you were together anyway, it was probably harmless
Ain’t nothing harmless about his hand placement what the fuck???
And suddenly he’s sliding in between you and Slime Ball ™ as he’s now dubbed the arse who dared make a move on his perfect angel thank you very much
Definitely the type to get into a fight if someone shoved you/bumped into you at a party or club
Especially if they didn’t immediately apologize to his sweet angel baby
Fuckers
He’d be talking about yours and his shared future home/life/family from nearly the very beginning of your relationship
He’d actually been imagining it for years before that, but he wasn’t going to admit that out loud
He’d be the kind of guy to have children’s names picked out – he’d get so excited any time you said something like “awe, Aurelia, that’s a sweet name” and he’d write it down somewhere for future use
James is absolutely the type of boyfriend where you’d never have to wonder exactly how they felt about you – you would know how treasured you are from the moment you wake up to the second you fall asleep
Sometimes, you’d even feel the depth of his love in your dreams

@jegulus-microfic january 23, perform, 486 words
part one, part three
After he gets over the shock enough to sweep up the shards of his mug from the floor, Regulus sits down on his couch and pulls out his phone, googling James Potter. While there was still a tiny sliver of him that wasn’t completely convinced, there’s no doubt left in him now as he looks through the search results.
Because pictured under the headline Global superstar, James Potter, set to headline summer tour across the US is the very same James who was here in his flat only last week; in his kitchen, in his shower, in his bed.
Pulling up his contacts, he clicks on James’ number and brings his phone to his ear.
After ringing a couple of times, James answers, “Well, isn’t this a pleasant surprise.”
James isn’t wrong. While they text back and forth, and literally can’t stay away from each other whenever James is in town, they haven’t really progressed to just chatting on the phone; until now.
“How’s Edinburgh?”
“Oh, you know. Raining.”
Regulus looks out his own window at the rain that has been steadily falling for days; it comforts him, like he can almost pretend that James is just across town, instead of in another country.
“So, this is a little embarrassing, but I’ve just come across a bit of information that makes me think I might be the least observant person on the planet,” Regulus begins, the sound of James’ laughter filling his ear.
“Okay, go on.”
“I heard your new song.”
“Oh, they’re playing it already? I sent you a vinyl with a very nice thank you card that you were supposed to get before it was released,” James groans. “You don’t mind, do you?”
“No, of course not. It’s a beautiful song. It’s just,” Regulus pauses, a little nervous as he says, “You’re James Potter.”
“Yes?” His confusion is obvious in his voice, and Regulus can imagine the exact look he’s sure he has on his face right now.
“You’re James Potter. And I had no fucking idea.”
A pause. “Wait, really? Holy shit, I definitely thought you knew.”
“Here I was, imagining that you perform in pubs in front of like, fifty people. When you’re actually out there performing in front of fifty thousand. I’m such an idiot.”
He can hear laughter in James’ voice, laughter he’s definitely trying to hold back as he says, “I’m sorry. I really thought – it’d be a bit pretentious of me to introduce myself and be like, I’m James Potter, you might have heard of me, you know?”
“Oh this is definitely on me, not on you,” Regulus says. “Anyway, just wanted to fill you in on that revelation. Now I’m going to go off and listen to your entire discography. And read every article ever written about you. Bye.”
The last thing he hears before hanging up is James’ booming laugh.

may we have some of ur nsfw reg hcs pretty pls 🤲
okay . putting these under the cut u sly dogs . everybody in my asks is horny ….. i welcome it !!
• it is very important for me to say that my regulus is a bottom and does not top atleast w james he may like . try it out . but he doesn’t enjoy it . he prefers to be the one getting penetrated , personal preference !!!! i can see him power bottoming although i think he is more subby, he likes giving up control and feeling Good . i respect switch jeggy, it isn’t my truth
• i think alot of jegulus sex (sorry most of these will be abt jegulus bc i love them Lolll) is just james wanting to treat regulus like a little porcelain doll …. not just in him being fragile but also he is His . to do whatever he wants he just has to ask nicely and sweetly and he can pose reg however he wants !!! i do think reg is bratty but i think a lot of the time he is v sweet n teary in bed ….. an angel ……….
• but i do also think regulus brings out something in james that makes him want to be rough n mean in bed that he has Never felt before . a big thing for me is regulus making james Feel things he hasn’t before . he’s always been a vanilla softy sex guy but now he wants to bruise regulus up and make him cry so he can be the one to patch him up again :(( he loves after care and therefore regulus does too
• there r like two versions of regulus in my head : virgin whore who has no concept of real sex and only understands from books so he fantasizes about getting the shit fucked out of him, hard and rough, probably got a breeding kink going on, but when actually in the bedroom is SO EMBARRASSED . TO DO ANYTHING . james asks regulus to take off his jacket and regulus is like oh my … that’s … wow … you want me to … undress….? and show you… my collarbone peeking out of my button up…. oh… oh my
• and whoring it up regulus who sleeps around HELLA before james and when they actually do sleep together is CONSISTENTLY begging james to be rougher and meaner .. but regulus is also in a soft subby state of mind james doesn’t see from him often so he is WHIPPPPPEEEED
• daddy kink , breeding kink, praise kink , choking kink. The big four . but i also think regulus has an obscure fantasy of being tied up w the purpose of free use but being made love to soft and gentle anyways . just the idea that his lover could have him in Anyway but still chooses to worship and appreciate yk…. gets him going
• i also think he’s fucking EVERYWHERE but a damn bed …. on the counter on the couch in the car in the shower …. a bed is fun but reg likes the thrill of just doing anything anywhere bc he can … bc his house is full of love now so he can do whatever he wants !!
• oral fixation , loves sucking james off more than anything loves sucking ANYONE off more than anything . gave bcj 99% of his blowjobs . big fan . swallows w james. spits w barty. thank you for your time .
• if we r rolling w boypussy regulus he’s a big fan of being eaten out of course ….. james is a chronic munch so of course he is committing to it and regulus’ life was forever changed
• jegulus does not wear condoms once they enter a serious relationship . regulus doesn’t fuck w them . he understands the necessity but doesn’t like !! will use when he has to . but as soon as he acknowledges james is the one for him and he’ll have no other parters and it’s safe to he celebrates . big win for him .
• did i mention the breeding kink . i need to . that’s the jegulus kink fr . regulus wants a BABY in him damnit !!!!
okay that’s all for now . too embarrassed to continue . hope some of you enjoy

Muggleborn reader taking Reggie to a sport game
I'm alive.
Regulus Black x reader
A/n TYSM FOR 100 FOLLOWERS HOLY SHIT???? This is the most American baseball game you could possibly think of despite the fact that this supposedly takes place in Britain. Sorry if anything's super inaccurate I'm not a sports person 😕 Anyways requests are open.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this." Regulus said as you dragged him along behind you.
A cool summer breeze drifted through the air as you and your best friend walked toward the line for the ticket booth.
"I can't either. I thought you'd chicken out on me last minute." You teased and he rolled his eyes.
You'd somehow managed to convince your best friend, Regulus, to accompany you to a baseball game over the summer break. And it really did take some major convincing. His parents were quite adamant about his total lack of engagement with anything even slightly related to muggles. That's why they didn't know about you, and that's why they didn't know Regulus had snuck out to spend time with you.
Once the two of you found a spot in line, you turned to Regulus and smiled. "But, seriously. I'm glad you could make it." You said sweetly.
Regulus' eyes darted down to where your hands were still interlinked.
"Oh," You let go of his hand and nervously looked away. "Sorry."
"No, it's okay." His cheeks turned slightly pink as he put his hands into the pockets of his jeans.
After standing in the line for about 10 minutes, the two of you finally got your tickets and walked into the stadium.
Regulus' eyes seemed to be constantly moving, looking at all of the things he'd probably never seen before.
"Do you wanna get food right now or should we wait?" You asked.
Regulus looked back to you. "They serve food here?"
"I don't have muggle money." Regulus stated.
"You can't go to a muggle sports event without them serving food." You chuckled as you led him to one of the concession stands.
"Who said I was making you pay?" You pulled out your wallet and handed him $20
Regulus blinked, suprised. "You don't have to pay for me, Y/n." He tried to hand the money back.
"No!" You made him close his hand around the money and pushed it back to him. "This is your first time going to a baseball game! You can't go to a baseball game without getting concessions."
Regulus, once again, blushed when you touched his hand. "... Fine."
The two of you were finally in your seats with all of your concessions. You had to explain how the game worked to Regulus and he seemed to understand after a while.
Once the game started Regulus glanced over to you. "So... What team are we supposed to be cheering for?" He asked.
"The guys wearing red." You answered.
"And that's because?"
"Because they're superior."
"What if I don't agree?" He challenged.
"Then I'll leave you at this stadium in the cold and dark to fend for yourself." You replied sarcastically.
He gasped. "You wouldn't!" He chuckled. "You love me too much."
You let a smile play on your lips. "Yeah. You're right."
Regulus felt his cheeks grow hot and he quickly looked away, turning his attention back to the game.
By the time the game was over, the sun was down. Regulus has spent most of the game feeling a bit flustered, blushing everytime your hands brushed against one another, his glances lingering a second too long.
"So, time to go now?"
"Nope." You shook your head. "We've gotta stay for the fireworks."
"The fireworks?"
"Yeah. They shoot off fireworks after the games every weekend." You said. "I wanna watch them, if that's okay with you."
"Yeah... Yeah, it sounds nice."
A few minutes passed before the first firework shot into the sky, painting the night sky with a stunning blue color.
You gasped and excitedly shook Regulus' arm a bit. "They're starting!"
Regulus looked over to you. Your eyes were wide and seemed to sparkle as they looked up at the firework display.
You were so beautiful.
"Y/n..." His voice was soft. Like he was whispering something only your ears would ever get to hear.
"Yeah?" You turned your attention to him.
"I uh..." He felt his heart beat fast. "Can I tell you something?"
You silently nodded and he continued. "I should've told you this way sooner, and I totally get it if you're weirded out by this or whatever... I... Like you. I like you a lot. And I have for a while now."
You sat there, stunned for a moment. His heart beat faster in anticipation for your response.
You finally spoke. "Seriously?"
"Seriously." He nodded. "Is... That okay?"
You paused for a split second. "More than okay." You leaned toward him and softly kissed his lips.
Fireworks went off as he kissed you and he knew this would be the best summer of his life.

The feeling of comfort
pairing: james potter x reader
content: fake dating trope, both are oblivious idiots, a basic cliche fic, kissing
a/n: my first fic<33 (if you want to be in my taglist comment!!)
This day like any other day started the same not wanting to get out of bed but still doing it getting ready and heading down to the great hall with Lily.
James flirting with Lily, Sirius yelling he's done with this bullshit and Remus looking at him with an interest you could only imagine you could give to someone.
Sirius and James leaving for practice asking Lily for a goodluck kiss her refusing while rolling her eyes but a hint of blush still evident.
Y/n looking at the slytherin table to gaze at Regulus who she talked with once in a while but he never showed as much interest as her never seeing the true emotions she wanted him to see.
It was the same monotonous routine and she was sick of it she needed something new.
"Hey lily party in the common room tonight tell your friends" Remus informed Lily with so much comfort you wanted that comfort that level of friendship that trust you wanted validation.
"Okay see you tonight" Lily replied to him with a smile and the same level of understanding and informality.
A party finally something not so boring.
"Partyyy" marlene yelled hugging her slightly her of course returning the hug.
There was no reason for a party right now James had thought but who says no to some fun and besides things were getting way too serious around here.
"Chug chug chug chug!!"
Everyone was yelling around James while his head was thrown back trying to finish the contents of the bottle fast.
He did so within seconds receiving an attaboy from Sirius.
Lily and all her friends had made an appearance just minutes after all this Lily receiving a lot 'you look greats' as she normally does she was just effortlessly like that.
James noticed her and lead her towards the bar to his friends.
While y/n was sitting with her friends on the couch occasionally leaving to go get a drink that was until Dorcas decided she was bored and wanted everyone to play truth and dare.
It was all fun and game until the bottle landed on y/n with Lily on the other end and she knew what she was going to ask.
"So I'm only asking this because you didn't tell me the other day but who do you like?" there was a glint in her eyes as if she had found the perfect opportunity.
"Nope i choose dare"
"Nuh uh i already asked the question"
"Fine but if any one of you tell anyone" you pointed at everyone with a threatening look even though it was pointless this was gryffindor and one thing about gryffindors was they like to gossip.
"We won't" Sirius yelled "just tell us" you were about to say no the words practically on your tongue but that sense of wanting validation came back and anyways sharing a secret won't matter, right?
Everyone in the circle was anticipating an answer which you didn't want to give.
"Regulus" you mumbled finally after seconds of awkward silence.
"What!"
"Regulus Black" you yelled way too loud and everyone was looking at her in shock.
"My brother?" Sirius said in a way that made it seem like he was having a hard time processing this information.
"He's nice to me and actually makes the effort to know me."
"But a slytherin" peter questioned and you were filled with fury.
"Not everyone in slytherin is a bad person and just because you think so because you're too proud to be a gryffindor does not make him bad and he will never be bad to me you just have a standard for every fucking person" she was out of breath after that not quite believing she yelled at someone for something so little "I'm sorry I'm really sorry Pete I think I drank too much so I'm going to bed" she bid goodbye to her friends before heading for the stairs.
And even though Peter had mumbled 'it's okay' she didn't feel it and the only reason she reacted like that was because regulus actually talked to her just because he wanted to just because he wanted to know her and it made her feel good inside.
But anyways that wasn't an excuse and she'd find a way to apologize to Peter.
"Y/n wait" someone she didn't expect called out to her James Potter his perfect curls falling on his nothing short of an angelic face.
"James did you need something?"
"No-well I just wanted to ask you something."
She motions for him to go on.
"You know how I like Lily and you like Regulus Black."
"Yeah who doesn't now" recalling back the scene that just happened.
"Well my point is i thought if we make both of them jealous enough they'll actually want to date us you know ?"
"And how do you plan on doing that?"
"By making you my fake girlfriend" he said with such an ease like it was just a normal thing asking someone you barely know to date-to fake date you.
"This could end up really messy i mean if Lily starts dating you then she'll just see me as her boyfriend's ex and that will be a complicated relationship and-"
"I'll tell lily when we start dating" he cut her off.
"I need time to think about this I'll tell you tomorrow morning."
"That's fine."
You just nodded and went straight to bed.
The next morning you woke up a little early to pick up some flowers and your mother's special banana bread for Peter.
When you gave him both the things he was finally in the same mood he always is in.
And there he was James looking at you with an eagerness like a puppy waiting for its treat and of course your friends noticed him staring at you and not his 'lily flower'.
"Is there something going on between you and james?" lily asked with a curious tone.
"What? no of course not" you replied with your voice all high pitched.
Lily didn't completely believe you but left the topic nonetheless.
When you got up to go to your first class and started heading out the great hall James had stopped you.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Uh- yeah yeah i have."
"So ?" you could tell how patiently he was waiting for your answer.
"I'll do it" you said with an assertive tone.
Really y/n that's great he went in straight for a hug and even though you accepted it you still mentioned to him that no was there and he didn't need to that him just shrugging in response.
It had been a two weeks since then and everything was going according to plan well for James at least.
She did things James told her to do to make Lily jealous and it worked as she always found an excuse to leave,her cheeks always flushed.
It was a normal morning james coming down to sit beside y/n kissing her cheek.
"hey sweetheart"
"hii jamie did you sleep well"
"yeah dreamt of you actually" he said pulling her close.
"well i gotta leave have to talk to slughorn bout my paper see you before minnies class" James informed you as he picked up his bag.
"okay byee"
she looked at Regulus during this whole fake dating thing he had not talked to her once she was hoping it was because he was jealous.
"Wow you really are the perfect couple huh?" Dorcas asked.
"Yeah james and his sweetheart" Marlene elbowed you teasingly.
You know what there's a party friday night you should make a move on him to do the deed.
"Really don't you think it's too soon?" Lily asked.
"No it's the perfect opportunity" Mary made an effort to say something in the conversation.
"You know what?it's been almost a month now and i think we're ready" you only said this after hearing Lily's reply.
"Great I'll help you pick you out a dress"
"Yes please that sounds like fun"
You liked this liked being the centre of attention it was nice.
Just before transfiguration you met James like he said you would.
"James you're going to be so happy hearing this"
"what?"
"Okay, so you know the party on friday?" he nodded at this "Marlene suggested we should sleep together and Lily completely freaked out saying stuff like it's too early so i told them that we're ready so on friday after some time we'll just go to your dorm do whatever the hell we want and then I'll sneak back to my dorm at night so your friends won't be able to see but mine will"
"Okay, i wanna kiss your genius brain and this is a perfect plan"
"Oh i love you" he said hugging her. In moments like this was when y/n felt the best because even though she'll never admit to anyone she had started giving James the longing stares she once gave Regulus and maybe just maybe she liked James and even though they were not going to be together it was nice fake dating him.
That evening when you were back at your dorm Lily had asked you something.
I just wanted to ask "how did you and James even got together i thought you liked Regulus?"
"Oh no that Regulus thing was just a cover up i just see him as a friend I liked James but was too scared to admit that's it."
"Oh yeah that makes sense"
You let out a breath of relief thankfully you already prepared yourself for these questions before hand.
"It was friday and you were afraid you'd break your jaw from how much you were smiling you couldn't help getting to spend some alone time with James was amazing even though you had been on hogsmeade dates this was different it was his dorm.
"So y/n are you excited for tonight?" marlene asked with a slight wink.
"Oh yeah definitely" you tried to play it cool.
"You better tell us all the details"
"Marls he's right there" you said looking right at him he shot you a wink when you looked at him.
You had a free class today and were headed to the the library to get some work done when you were met with a sight you wished you wouldn't have seen.
There he was just outside the library Regulus Black snogging a girl without a care in this world and even though you didn't like him anymore it still stung for some reason.
Why were you jealous when you liked James maybe you were too attached to Regulus and it hurt you to see him with another girl.
You didn't go to the library instead headed straight for your dorm dressed down and picked out Jame's shirt that he gave to wear it and went straight to sleep.
After a while your dormmates came into the room stirring you awake "wait why are you back did I sleep that long?"
"I guess you even missed lunch so we brought you some food" Lily said with a shy smile on her face god you hated what you were doing to her.
"Thank you"
"Okay now eat up we'll all go shower and then get ready for the party" Mary was clearly the most excited for the actual party out of the lot.
"That sounds great"
You did everything Lily said and were standing in front of the mirror trying to decide what drrss to wear.
You ultimately decided on a black mini drrss with baby blue ruching at the neckline and the bottom.
Reaching the patry it was on full swing and for the first time in your entire life you felt wanted.
"Baby here" James shouted at you.
"Coming, okay how do i look"
"Perfect now go get him"
Reaching James he pulled out a seat for you and kissed your cheek in welcoming your freinds followed suit to the drinks area where everyone was hanging out.
After talking with everyone and james getting up to get you drinks a few hours had passed by you had played some games and now as you were about to go to play something else.
James pulled you back and whispered "do you wanted to go up?"
You of course had to initiate it you told your friends you would.
So when you friends were around you started to kiss his jaw and made it look like you were whispering something in his ear.
And he replied with a yeah of course baby before leading you up to his dorm.
"Gosh I'm so tired" james yelled before plopping on the bed.
"Really i thought james potter's party drive was high."
"It is just not tonight"
James was laying on his stomach trying to dig out his record when you decided it would be a great idea to tickle him.
He looked offended to say the least "did you just tickle me?" you just shruged "oh you are so in for it" he stated before you decided to run for it.
He was chasing you all over the dorm and you landed on his bed again he took this opportunity to pin both your hands above your head and tickle you.
"Stop stop jamie stop please"
"Jamie you nevercall me jamie until someone one's around"
"Don't you like it?"
"Love it actually, I love it when you call me jamie" he answered with such a nod that made it sound like he came to a very important conclusion.
If y/n was to tilt her head upwards a mere centimeter she would have been kissing james her james.
They were meant to be together and it frustrated her to every end he couldn't see that.
He tilted his head to the side his eyebrows kniting together in thought.
are you thinking of me?
She wanted to ask him but before she could he released her hands and sat up and in hopes to start up new conversation y/n thought it would be the best idea to talk about her previous crush.
"I saw Regulus kissing someone today"
"Oh no are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine I don't like him anymore there's someone else now." she said looking up at him wishing he would kiss her.
She thought she would be bold for once and leaned in only for James to back away.
Y/n you're not in your right mind right now.
she tried to hide her emotions she really did but it wasn't her fault her eyes started watering.
"Right of course sorry was just a crazy impulse.
James just nodded in response and that somehow made it worse.
"Oh would you look at that you said looking at the clock on his bedsude table it's late enough i should leave"
"But y/n-
And before he could continue she was out of the door.
Going back to her dorm she went in inside only to see her friends already back from the party.
"Hii y/n how did it go?"
"It was great he was great" you said with a bitter undertone which thankfully your friends didn't notice.
You went in your bed not in mood for an interrogation.
You couldn't stop it you were crying crying over a boy you never thought you'd see this day but here you were.
You hated how he made you feel.
You hated how he made you cry
But what you hated the most was that you didn't even hate him at all.
It was morning the birds were chirping the sun was shining but not for you you didn't want the morning to come beacuse that meant getting up and facing James.
But you had to get up you couldn't miss class again.
Reaching the great hall you were relieved to not see James.
Sitting next to Marlene you started loading stuff onto your plate.
"So you didn't give us any details you know."
"well there's nothing to tell i mean it was great i felt great I'm not sure he did though and now i don't know if i should ask him about it or let it be or maybe he's just hiding because he was enthusiastic i don't know I'm probably overthinking"
"Oh there's nothing to worry about I've had some guys who even though feel great just don't express it as nicely its totally normal"
"Really, thanks"
Wow y/n you just inserted your metal problems to make everyone belive he's bad at expressing things that'll make Lily jealous for sure ugh you hated yourself right now.
And just because it wasnt bad enough already James Potter had decided to show up.
"Hey baby"
"Hello" actually I'm going to go early to slughorn to see if I could find a seat after that you fled the great hall.
"But isn't her first class herbology?"
"I think so replied Lily"
You couldn't even look at him in the face let alone be in the same room what was he doing to you and why was he doing it you wish disappear into thin air right now the embarrassing moment replaying in your mind not in the right mind what does that mean.
You had decided that you don't want tofake date anymore it had been long enough already time for it to end.
Shaking you reached his dorm hesitant to knock and just before your hand was centimeters from doing so the door opened and there stood the man you longed you started doubting your decision.
But no you had to do this to make James and Lily happy.
"James I wanted to talk to you."
James asked you to come in but you refused standing in the doorway leaning on the frame you began speaking.
"I wanted to say that - I really- I think that we should end this fake dating thing. Lily is jealous enough and you should ask her.
"But what about your crush?"
"Oh it's okay i don't want to make anyone jealous"
After a few moments of silence while james looked like he was deciding something you decided to leave.
"Wait please wait."
But you resisted the cries and went on it was the nice thing to do for them.
You went to your dorm after that and collapsed on your bed that was probably the most hardest thing you have ever done and it hurt it hurt so much.
By the time you woke up to someone knocking on the door your eyes were all swollen and red and your cheeks had the tear stains still on them and everything about your face yelled you were crying though you didn't care.
But when you opened the door you wished you would had James was there and him seeing that you were crying was not the best thing.
"Y/n- he began before pausing and asking if were you crying.
"No I had something in my eye" you said frantically.
"Anyways did you want something?"
"Actually can I say something?"
"Yeah of course come inside"
"Y/n" he began once again "You said it's been way too long but i honestly feel like it's been mere seconds because every moment i spend with you i don't even realise I'm living it just because of your existence you have completely and totally mesmerised me and I yearn for you and it - it breaks my heart you cannot see that .
"What about Lily?" you whispered.
"I told her weeks ago I don't like her but still stayed with you because I like just being with you merlin I like doing nothing with you."
"I don't believe-"
He held you wrist and pulled you to look towards him holding your face in his hands.
"This feels like home you feel like home to me why don't you get that you are the sole reason why I exist and always will be and I love you y/n more than i will ever be able to say."
You started crying again pushing him lightly "you big idiot."
"So do you love me?"
You didn't answer just pulled his face towards yours smashing your lips against his him holding on to you so tight that if he lets go you will slip away.
Turns out all the books were wrong there are no fireworks in true love there's only comfort and that was exactly what you felt.

DESI JAMES POTTER HEADCANON
Disclaimer: this is not era-typical. this is strictly subjective, this is my way of projecting my delusions and hoping I meet someone like James Potter some day!!
James craves parental and academic validation.
Now before I get jumped, lets all be real for one second. You are telling me James Potter is a desi first gen NRI and he does not crave validation? I refuse to believe that!! And it was not that Effie and Monty pressurized him... it was the opposite actually. they did not say a thing and my boy just felt he had to be the best because he has such nice parents who never ask for anything how can he ever live up to it??
He was the kind to lose sleep before important days. Right before the big matches and papers you would find James F. Potter roaming the halls of the school in the wee hours of morning, hands tightly clutching onto a mug that says, "You are ENOUGH" (his parents gifted him this in 3rd year when they noticed he was not doing well). The mug is obviously filled to the brim with either masala chai or cold coffee (the indian one).
2. He smelled like cloves
now this is something I have observed in my day to day life and feel like James too, would partake in. He would be the kind to use "spicy" toothpaste. simply because he thinks they last longer or smth. Effie also makes him homemade oil that has cloves (idk what they do I just associate the spice with him OKAY?) So basically when his partner(s) kiss him, they taste and smell clove. And it is not a comforting spice like cinnamon but imagine a whitewashed Regulus getting used to the sting of cloves and the horrible dant kanti-esque taste because the boyfriend uses them. There is a point when Regulus just starts carrying around a small bottle of clove oil or a box of clove and elaichi daana because James smells like cloves and Sirius like cardamom (FIGHT ME.)
3. Resident Problem Solver
Was he mischievous? Hell yes. Did he still make efforts to make sure everyone was okay? Duh.
James would be the kind to ask everyone about their day at the dinner table and be actually interested in what they have to say. He would notice when one of his friends were having a hard day and just drop a ladoo on their plate or ask them if they would like "non-spicy" chai. He would be the peacemaker. ALWAYS. He DID not like conflict. It hurt his soul to watch his friends fight or give each other a cold shoulder.
4. He LOVED being Desi.
he had the diaspora issue, obviously. But Effie and Monty came from the pre-partition India and tried to hold onto their country as much as they could. So James was super used to all the desi things. He had a head full of thick luscious curls because his mother massaged oil and gave him champi every week. When he moved to Hogwarts his hair suffered a little before the Summer when Sirius visited the Potters. Effie taught both of them how to apply oil onto each other's scalps and then it became their tradition at Hogwarts.
5. When Sirius returned bald.
there is a very popular HC that one year Walburga shaved Sirius' hair off because he was being disrespectful or smth. That year, James developed a variant of Indulekha x Parachute Coconut Oil (come on Desis i know you know what I mean) and made sure Sirius had his long hair back before Christmas. He would personally look after his diet, forcing amla tea down his throat or making sure he is eating 3-4 meals that consist of healthy things and not just meat as Sirius would otherwise have it.
Regulus fell in love with James around this time because he did smth he could not, protect Sirius. He went as far as daring Walburga to try to do it again, James would make sure Sirius grows his hair longer than ever.
ps. he was the one who came up with curl-care routine for the marauders and all of them had PJO cast like hair it was so cute jadfiqgfuiwgiuu okay
6. He did not practice any religion
James was not religious, he was spiritual. He did whatever his mum, who herself practiced two religions, told him to do. Both Effie and Monty believed in giving back to the society more than giving to some religious institute, so imagine a first year James rushing into Poppy's wing with an injured bird in his hand begging her to save it.
7. He was the people's princess.
fight the wall. everyone, even the slytherins, secretly LOVED him and the gulab jamuns he would give out on Diwali every year.
8. Enjoyer of classical music.
I have said it before, I will say it again. MY MANZ LISTENED TO GHULAM ALI. idc if he was muggle or what, he loved his music, language be damned.
he enjoyed urdu ghazals more than anything else tbh.
9. TRAINED CLASSICAL MUSICIAN
he was trained in sitar and he could sing as well. he was basically an in house singer. He learnt electric guitar in his 2nd year and then there was no looking back. If he would not have been a professional quidditch player he would have been a musician or a music teacher or smth.
10. he was a STEM student.
okay this is non-canon but comp sci major James? who also happens to enjoy botany? yes. just the best.
11. James who would slip into Urdu when he was overwhelmed, who loved when people played with his hair. James who wrote letters in Urdu or Hindi or whatever regional language his parents spoke and wrote.
12. James potter who hated how his eyes were brown, just brown, growing up. but then one day his mother told him it is what she loves the best about him.
13. James Potter with bitten lips, he does that whenever he is nervous.
14. James Potter who was born during sunrise, his mother believes he is the sun.
15. James who would lay his life for his friends. James who loved hugging Peter, James who committed crimes for Remus.
16. James who adored and admired Minerva so much that he would try everything to get her attention, except he was her favourite student after Lily and Remus (Sirius was her son, let us all be honest).
17. James who played Carnatic Music while studying.
18. James who would wear short kurtas. james who is obsessed with shawls.
19. James who carried a bag full of supplies his friends might need. Like imagine a pouch filled with hair elastics for Sirius and the girls, painkillers for Remus, fidget toys and stress ball for Peter, and cloves for Regulus.
20. James WHO FOUGHT THE AUTHORITY!!!
-- I WILL ADD MORE DW LET ME THINK--
ADD YOURS TOO BTW COME ON HELP A DEMIGIRL OUT

@jegulus-microfic | april 22 evoke | words: 1,6k
big shout out to @frnkmush for helping me with this one, you’re such an angel 🫶🏼
tw: swearing, mentions of wounds
part one
On Monday evening, Regulus received an Instagram message request from someone called jfprongs. He went to check on the person’s profile to see who they were, and—oh god.
At the sight of a radiant smile, bronze skin, and golden glasses, all memories from the night before evoked in him. He suddenly remembered making an absolute fool of himself by asking a doctor who just stitched him up on a date.
While he was drunk.
The first thing he did was send a screenshot of the profile and the message that read just a simple ‘Hi’ to the group chat.
i can fix him (i can’t)
Reg
<2 photos attached>
that’s the doctor from last night
what do i do??????????
Barty
skakksjsksjsjsjsjajsjsj
Evan
x2
Pandora
x3
what is he doing in your dms?
Reg
…
i may or may not have asked him out
There was a short pause before his phone started ringing.
“What the fuck do you mean you asked him out?” Pandora asked, amused. In the background, Regulus could hear Barty and Evan laughing hysterically.
“Well, I was drunk, and he was really hot. We should all be grateful I only did that instead of trying to convince him to fuck me on his desk,” he responded, trying to take off the bandage off of the fresh wound without making it hurt more than necessary.
On the other end of the line, he could hear Panda huffing a small laugh. “Yeah, thank god that whore didn’t come out.”
“Any—oh fuck, it hurts—anyways, what do I do now?” Regulus asked again, finally throwing away the old bandage and starting to clean the cut. He hated using disinfectants on any part of his body, really, but on the face, it felt worse than anything.
His friend hummed thoughtfully. “I think you should text him back and see how it goes,” and so he did.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
On Tuesday evening, exactly at 7:36 p.m., Regulus was sitting on a bench in front of his apartment building and waiting for a grey Mercedes to arrive.
After he answered James yesterday, they talked a bit and agreed that Drunk Regulus’ idea about meeting sooner was actually a pretty good one. So he sat there, checking his phone every three seconds, hoping to see a message that would say ‘I’m here’.
He picked it up again when a grey car parked next to him and the passenger’s window rolled down.
“Hi Regulus, come in,” James invited him with a warm smile painted on his lips.
As Regulus took the front seat, the other man reached to the back, pulling a small bouquet of purple carnations.
“What’s that?” Regulus asked, confused. James eyes widened at that.
“Well, I assumed it’s a date, and I thought it would be a nice gesture, but if I overstepped or misread—“
“No, no, no, absolutely! That is a date, and those are lovely, I just—I'm not used to getting flowers.” He could feel his cheeks starting to burn a little when James smiled wildly, like a happy Golden Retriever.
They finally drove away from Regulus' block, heading towards the city center. The radio played some soft, lofi music that, added to the soft humming of the engine, started lulling Regulus to sleep. James must’ve noticed, because he handed his unlocked phone to him.
“Choose the next song; I’ll pick something after you,” the bronze-skinned man told him. Regulus, extremely eager, grabbed the phone and typed in the title he needed to hear right now. Thankfully, the chill music ended shortly after, and an 80s synth-pop melody came on.
“Somebody runnin’ through the field/Somebody shoulda stayed home/Somebody pickin’ up the body of somebody they were gettin’ to know,” Regulus hummed softly to Matty’s lyrics. James whipped his head at a light speed and looked at him with wide eyes. Regulus gave him a questioning look in response.
“First of all,” James began, “is it the one about the school shooting?” Regulus nodded, smirking. “Okay, that’s surprising. Second of all, you have quite a nice voice.” Now Regulus wasn’t smirking, just smiling sheepishly.
After ‘Looking for somebody (to love)’ ended, there was a disco bit, and Reg wanted to whine as soon as he recognised the song. The only thing that stopped him was that sparkle in James’ eyes.
And then the other man started singing.
“OOH, YOU CAN DANCE, YOU CAN JIVE, HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!” and Regulus couldn’t help but laugh hysterically. “What? Don’t you like my vocals?” James chuckled, knowing damn well he sounded like a cat in heat.
“Oh no, your vocals are just as lovely as your smile,” the younger man giggled.
They continued to take turns choosing songs, becoming more and more comfortable, and singing louder and louder.
They reached the restaurant as Olivia’s ‘all-american bitch’ was coming to an end.
“Wait here,” said James, getting out of the car and running around it, just to open Regulus’ door. The older man held out his hand in a dramatic gesture.
Reg rolled his eyes, taking the hand and getting out as well.
“Such a gentleman,” he commented sarcastically, yet still, he could feel the warmth spread inside of his chest at this small move.
They walked into the restaurant hand in hand, talking lightly about their favourite type of pasta. James gave the hostess his name, and the woman led them to their table, giving them two menus. Regulus scanned it in search of the cheapest meal, so he could afford it. The restaurant wasn’t really fancy, but it was still expensive.
“15 pounds for Carbonara? Is it made of gold?” He mumbled, but apparently not quietly enough, because James replied, ‘Don’t worry, it’s on me’. This caught Regulus off guard. “What do you mean? I asked you out; I should be the one paying.”
“Yeah, no,” was all James said, and the other man kept looking at him in confusion. “You’re a student; I work full time; it’s only fair if I pay,” he continued, looking up from his menu.
Regulus opened his mouth as if to argue, but quickly shut them back up. “Yeah, okay, you have a point.”
After that, they talked only about what they should order, settling on a lasagna for James, pumpkin ravioli for Reg, and a bottle of rosé.
“So,” the older man started. “What do you study?”
“Oh, um, painting. I’m in art school,” he mumbled in response, taking a sip of his wine. “I’m not gonna lie, I know it won’t get me a lot of money, but I love it. I can’t imagine doing anything else, even if it means I’ll have to eat pesto pasta for the rest of my life.” He couldn’t exactly read James’ face; it looked kind of blank.
“Can I see any of your work?” he asked finally, sounding actually interested. So, of course, Regulus reached for his phone and started scrolling through it in search of the pieces he was most proud of. When James saw the one with the white stag running through a blue forest, he pointed at it and exclaimed, “That. I want that one in my living room,” and Regulus laughed lightly at him. “What? I mean it. How much do you want for it?”
“A thousand pounds!” the younger man kept chuckling.
“Deal.”
“Wait, are you for real?” He looked at the man opposite him in bewilderment, and as the other nodded with a smile, he couldn’t help but smile himself.
It was how the rest of the evening went—they ate, talked, drank wine, and talked some more. They left, again hand in hand, discussing a playlist for the ride home.
They were just a few blocks away from Regulus’ building when he decided to turn the radio down a little.
“Thank you,” he said, turning to James. “I had a really good time.”
“Would you like to do it again sometime?” The other man asked, also turning.
“Yeah, sometime,” he answered softly, pink blooming on his cheeks. He received a small smile back.
When they finally reached his block, Regulus didn’t get out immediately. Instead, he fully turned to face James and looked him deep in the eyes. The older man didn’t break eye contact; he only smiled brightly.
Please, kiss me. Please, kiss me. Please, kiss me.
James reached in his direction, brushing a loose curl from Regulus’ face back behind his ear. Instead of withdrawing his hand, James put it on his cheek, caressing it lightly with his thumb.
They stayed like that for a few seconds (or hours) before James broke the silence.
“Can I walk you to your flat?” and Reg just nodded in response.
They got out of the car the same way they did before. Holding hands, they walked up the stairs to the third floor. As they reached his door, Regulus turned to James again. And once more, James’ hand found its way to Reg’s cheek. The moment was tense, almost tangible. Until-
“Can I kiss you?” The older man whispered, like a secret.
Yesyesyes
Regulus only managed to nod once before he felt soft lips on his. It wasn’t an obscene kiss with a lot of teeth and tongs; it was gentle and sweet, like the first kiss in middle school. It didn’t last long either—far too quick for Reg’s liking. James rewarded him with another sweet kiss, this time on the forehead, before he pulled away with the same bright spark in his eye that appeared during ‘Dancing Queen’.
“Good night, Regulus,” he said softly, taking a small step back.
“Good night, Jamie—I mean James,” the older man chuckled, shaking his head.
“I like it; you can call me Jamie. I’ll see you soon.” And with that promise, he turned around and walked down the stairs, throwing just one last look at Regulus before disappearing on the floor below.

it takes a village — regulus black ♡
requested by anon<3
regulus black x reader, they/he!reader, asexual!reader, hurt/comfort, swearing, implied discrimination, mentions of alcohol, non-descriptive harassment/assault
as usual when i’m writing about minority groups i am not affiliated with, i am completely open to any criticism as this is not based on personal experience
the exposing of your secret relationship leads to the exposing of something else
one may expect a grand castle in scotland that appeared derelict, and contained a truckload of magic wielding people aged eleven to eighteen, to be... open minded.
that wasn’t always the case.
sirius, who broke gender boundaries every day with no thought at all and kissed whoever he felt like at the time. marlene, a quidditch player, and lesbian with a tendency to not take any bullshit. you, known for presenting both masculine and feminine, as well as a few other rumours circling the mill.
between this trio, you managed to ward off most bigots, with both the friends, popularity, and pranks to do so effectively. a queer squad of queer protectors.
and by those who weren’t insistent on treating you for being ‘sick’, you were generally considered a rather attractive group.
it meant a lot of people would be hitting on you at parties. which was alright, you tolerated it, because few knew you were taken. that was regulus’ wish, due to his family, and you respected that. it wasn’t your potential suitors to blame for not being aware of that.
but there were lines, always, and some people loved to toe them. some loved to throw themselves directly over.
the two gryffindors flirting with you at james’ birthday party were of the latter sort. their hands where stranger’s hands shouldn’t be, prying and laughing and invading your senses. they reeked of alcohol - which was fair enough considering they were at a party, but it didn’t mean you wanted it right up your nose.
you repeatedly attempted to evade them all night, but they pretty much had you pinned now. they were acting nice enough that you would feel bad to get angry.
“everything okay here?” lily showed up suddenly, glaring at the pair and folding her arms. you were never more relieved to see the girl.
“we’re fine, actually.” one smiled, despite you trying to squirm away as they spoke.
the redhead rolled her eyes, and beckoned regulus over impatiently as soon as a hand slipped up your top and you leapt back as if scalded.
lily mumbled, “you’re in merlin’s hands now.”
just as your boyfriend appeared to physically pull the culprits from you, scoff decisively, make a comment on their mismatch choice of attire, and wrap an arm around you. he didn’t take you anywhere, why should he? until then, you’d been enjoying yourself, they were the ones who crossed boundaries, so they were the ones who needed to go.
to their credit, they knew what was best for them and scattered.
“is everything okay?” regulus muttered beneath his breath, straightening your band shirt with a sigh.
you shrugged, “yeah. yeah, i guess so.”
in all honesty, their thinly veiled innuendos had caused a spike in what you’d been feeling recently. it was something you knew you should share with your partner, but you were at a loss to work out how.
“i know something’s bothering you. tell me, please.” regulus murmured, arm still secured around your waist.
flopping back onto the sofa with what was, in your opinion, an appropriate level of theatrics, you groaned. regulus leant back with you, surveying the distress on your face with a curious stare.
he poked you after a silent moment, “c’mon, it can’t be that bad.”
in a moment of insecurity, you turned with something resembling a hardly concealed and totally involuntary pout, “it might be. what if it’s too much for you?”
regulus shook his head, “i’ve seen you watch that muggle game with the black and white balls. nothing could be too much for me after that.”
you laughed despite yourself, blowing air from your mouth as you averted your eyes to the ceiling, “yeah. well... how’d you feel about sex?”
regulus didn’t choke on air, or sputter, or sprint away. all reactions you’d been expecting, on some level. what you hadn’t anticipated was his calm consideration of your very upfront question, “honestly? dunno. haven’t given it that much thought. it’s... a thing, i guess. it’s okay.”
the apathy in his voice was apparent enough to put you at ease, “okay. cos, i was thinking, i’m not all that sure i’m into that.”
“is that what’s been bugging you? that would not be too much for me, my love.”
you picked your nails, which he silently reprimanded you for by taking your hand, “i know. now, anyway. erm... thanks.”
he smiled softly at your slight discomfort, “you’re... welcome. have you told anyone else about how you feel? sirius or marlene.”
you nodded, “just them. they were supportive. why?”
“well, you know what they say. it takes a village.”
you frowned at the logistics of that, “it being coming to terms with asexuality?”
regulus merely shrugged, seemingly unbothered by his nonsensical saying, “i don’t know, they say it not me.”
you laughed at that, a pressure lifted from your chest. everything was the same, but with a spoon of stress subtracted.

Coming back here for a hot second, because some things I can’t and I don’t want to ignore.
TW for drugs use, addiction and I guess spoilers for Drugs and surgical scrubs.
I never hid the fact that my fic isn’t based on personal experience and I hope I made it obvious that I invite constructive feedback on the sensitive topics I write. I don’t want to hear that my chapter felt off or didn’t flow, but I always, always welcome feedback about the themes of the story.
I want to make it obvious, in capital letters and red that I DO NOT THINK LOVE CAN CURE ADDICTION. I do not think that now James has Regulus his addiction will disappear. Either I am doing a very bad job at foreshadowing or some of you just bluntly disregard what I write, so I’m going to spell it out here.
Drugs and surgical scrubs is not a story about love replacing addiction. Love hasn’t cured Sirius’ and Remus’ addiction and it won’t cure James’. I am fully aware the Jegulus I’m writing now is unhealthy and toxic. I know it’s not true love. You haven’t even given me the chance to explore their relationship and feelings and if you did, you would have realised I’m writing the exact opposite of what you’re accusing me of. The tags, the major warning and the reminder just a chapter ago are there for a reason. My last wish is to romanticise addiction and I really, really want to do it justice and paint a complex picture, but y’all aren’t letting me. This fic is not easy to write and maybe I am failing at it, but try be nice and tell me about it first?? Or like, let me actually write it before assuming the worst?
If you have an issue with my writing, please come and tell me either here (my anons are on) or via comments and I will listen. But preemptively judging me and spreading pretty much slander is quite rude and frankly hurtful, when I put hours of research and even go and physically meet with people who deal with addiction to paint an accurate picture. Once again, I do not struggle with addiction nor do I know anyone who has, but I have spoken to people who do and listened and combined their stories. I don’t believe addiction is a one shoe fits all case, it’s different for everyone and whilst it’s okay to hate every single word I wrote, every single word of James’ inner monologue is carefully thought out and is there for a reason and soon it will be apparent.
That’s all. Thank you for all for attention and see you on the next chapter soon!

Potterverse
What if… this is a stages of life like if starts in the school years and ends two or so years after graduation like full life story and warning attempted roffie (not Harry’s doing) and later smut (consensual)
What if Harry Potter family didn’t die and neither did regulus? Well I am going to give it a go
Epilogue
(Y/n) Black was two years younger than Harry and was in the same year as his younger sister, Holly. (Y/n) was the second in her family not to be placed in Slytherin. She was a Hufflepuff!
Into the actual story with first person writing.
I scrabbled into my seat next to Holly, as I was really pushing my luck in Transfiguration class.
“Miss Black, so good of you to join us.” Professor McGonagall chipped.
I quickly came back with “Am I late Professor? Class starts at 8 and it just turned 8.”
She gave me a look but began class without another word to me.
“Jeeze, Black you really cut it close this time.” Holly whispered.
“What can I say, I hate my alarm.” I shrugged.
Class ended and I wouldn’t have a class with Holly until after lunch. “Hey, will you be at lunch. Or are you planning on studying in the library again?”
“The library. Do you want to grab some sandwiches and join me?”
“Sure. I will swing by the great hall on my way from class.” I hummed as my class was near the great hall.
…
When it was time I shuffled through the great hall to grab some sandwiches. Now here I run into Holly’s brother, Harry. He’s a bit of an arrogant dumb ass. (His parents aren’t dead so he’s going to be a little like James and Sirius) As I walked in he shouted. “Watch out, future death eater walking through.”
I rolled my eyes and smacked him upside the head, “Careful, I will have your sister tell your mother that you are being a bully.”
“Ooh big whoop.”
I give him a smile, “ok bet. Let’s see how your mom takes you behaving with such disrespect for your sister’s friends who is also two grades below you.”
His eye brows shot up in realization that he was not in the clear. “Ok! Ok! I’m sorry.”
…
Few years later. (Y/n) and Holly in 5th year and Harry in 7th.
Holly and I weren’t asked to the winter dance by anyone so we decided we would just accompany each other. We walked in after a while someone asked Holly to dance and of course I told her to go. So I went and got myself some punch.
A boy from my year started talking to me and he got me another punch.
Then a familiar voice hummed from behind me, “No date I hear.”
I spun around with a scowl, “So what? Can’t you see I’m talking to someone.”
He looked at me with an unusual amount of affection, “so am I. Nothing wrong with that. And he’s dumb talk with me instead.” He raised his hand through my hair and pulled me closer. My breath hitched and he came close so that I could feel his breath on my lips, “Might I have this dance? It’s a nice slow one.” He straightened back up and all I could do was nod. He took my now empty cup and he handed it back to the guy. He led me out to the dance floor and pulled me close. He was a surprisingly good dancer. As we swayed to the music I laid my head on his chest beginning to feel dizzy.
“Har-rrry” I muttered, “don’t feel good.”
His arms encircled me protectively before sweeping me up into his arms growling, “I knew I saw him put something in your drink. Don’t worry, I will get you to the hospital wing. I got you.”
Things went black.
…
When I woke up I was out of it but I could feel someone holding my hand. “Where am I?”
The hand jumped and was now pulling me into a hug. “You’re okay!” It was Harry.
“Jeeze Potter. What’s gotten into you?”
He looked at me like he could cry, “I was worried. That dick drugged you with some muggle drugs. I was just so worried!”
“Could you please get me some water?”
“Of course!” He gave me a cup and then went to grab Madam Pomfrey.
After that Harry and I became closer and kept in touch after he graduated. When I graduated I went to work for the same sector of the Ministry of Magic as he was working in.
“Black! It’s good to see you. Todays your first day right?” Harry chuckled.
“Yeah, pretty exciting right?” I giggled.
“Yeah…listen… I… would you like to go on a date after work?” Harry stumbled over his words.
Blushing myself I hummed, “I think I’d like that.”
Dating steady
Harry had finally convinced me to move in with him. “Last box!” I sang.
“Finally! Nap time?” Harry asked hopefully.
I chuckled, “Harry, there’s so much unpacking to do!”
Pouting he pulled me into him, “which is why we will need a good nap with plenty of snuggles.”
“Cheeky aren’t we? Alright I guess I could use a little nap. Okay let’s go.”
Harry was like a little kid on Christmas Day when he pulled me into a cuddle on his bed. I awoke to Harry’s hand running up and down my spine, his chin on top of my head as my face was buried in his chest. I hummed happily, “How long have you been awake?”
“I don’t know… maybe an hour?”
“How long have we been napping?” I yawned and stretched before snuggling back in.
“Four hours I guess… want to get up or perhaps fool around a little bit?” He hummed as drew his hands down my side.
I moaned, “I think that would be a nice way to wake back up.”
He smiled before quickly disposing of my bottoms and diving between my legs. I reached down and pulled at his tousled hair. He is a vigorous lover and always generous. I bucked my hips riding his face. His tongue was talented as he eagerly lapped me up as I became a screaming mess.
He climbed up me smiling, “take your shirt off baby.” We both stripped and were exchanging sloppy kisses. He lined himself up with my opening and kissed me firmly, “You ready baby?” I simply nodded and he pushed in. Harry’s cock is a decent length and is quite girthy. It sits heavily inside of me and he knows that I need a minute to adjust. As he waits for me to give him the go ahead, he peppered me in kisses. I finally nodded and he began to piston his hips into me.
I wrapped my legs around his waist. “Harry… please… oh!!! God yes!”
He smirked down at me as he lifted my hips “You like that? Am I making you feel good?”
“Yes! Merlin, Yes! Ah harder please baby!” I moaned from the new angle.
Harry cums inside of me before he rolled off of me. He hummed and relaxed into the bed, arm draped over his eyes. I leaned over and gave him a kiss, “I am going to go make us some dinner.”
I threw on some underwear and his shirt before trotting off to make us some dinner. Harry eventually came out to join me wearing just his boxers. He slumped into a chair and watched me work. “Babe?” He called.
“Hmm?”
“I was hoping that you would be willing to come join me at my family dinner on Sunday at my parents house?”
Looking back at him I smile, “Of course, I would love to meet the rest of your family.”
“I mean with everyone including my godfather… and your uncle Sirius.”
“Harry, I just moved in with you, I think we are more than ready for the family meet. And while I have never met my uncle, that doesn’t change the fact that I want to be apart of every single piece of your life that I can. Now I hope that you are hungry, I made your favorite.”
…
I began to get ready to meet with Harry’s full family. I fussed over several different dresses. Harry came from behind me and wrapped around me and kissed my shoulder, “Baby you look great. Don’t worry love, they are going to love you.”
“But I just want to to make a good impression. And none of these dresses look good on me.” I groaned.
He chuckled, “Baby, look at me. I love you and so will they. You look beautiful my love.”
…
We walked into his parents house to be greeted warmly by his mother who was followed by his father. “Harry, aren’t you going to introduce us to your lovely girlfriend?” His mother sang.
“Mom, Dad… this is (Y/n) Black.”
A man resembling my own father looked up from his place on the couch. While he himself did not move, Professor Lupin got up from his spot next to him to come greet us. The man who must be my uncle Sirius, questioned, “Black?”
Professor Lupin scolded him but I didn’t skip a beat, “Hello Uncle Sirius. Harry has told me lots about you. Dad sometimes will mention you but not like Harry.”
Sirius raised his brows, “Oh? You will have tell me know what old Reggie has gotten into sometime.”
I turned my attention to Harry’s parents, “It’s lovely to meet you Mrs. and Mr. Potter.”
His mother smiled and brought me into a big hug, “Call me Lily. Please make yourselves comfortable, dinner will be done soon and Harry’s sister will be here soon.”
I smiled, “Oh great! I haven’t seen Holly since last year before she went on that escapade to America.”
Mr. Potter laughed, “So you know our Holly?”
I nodded, “Yep me and Holly have been besties since first year.”
“Oh she used to talk about you all the time, but she never included your last name. So were you all friends in school?”
This time Harry answered with a smile, “Nah she thought I was a insolent idiot until my seventh year.” That got the room to laugh.
“Looks like he is your son Prongs!” Professor Lupin laughed.
“You WERE an insolent idiot, there was no think about it.” I snarked.
Sirius laughed, “Yep it’s you and Lily all over again.”
I give Harry a look and before he could answer Holly walked in and answered, “Dad used to chase mom with unrequited love and then they just clicked.”
I scrunched my face, “Yeah that’s definitely not us.”
Harry was clearly embarrassed and now Sirius was completely paying attention, “Do explain!”
“Harry called me things like Death Eater and pure blood snob like I wasn’t friends with his sister all the time.”
“Harry James Potter!” His mother scolded.
“Sirius started it!” Harry immediately went on the defensive.
“Sirius!”
“I was wrong? I’m sorry? It worked out!” Sirius also went on the defensive.
Over a now an awkward dinner James asked “So Harry and (y/n), what changed for you to get together?”
“For me it was slow… I would see her walking down the hall and her smile she always had on, this smile that she wore no matter what and she was kind unless I was asking for it.” Harry chuckled, “But I don’t know if it was ever one thing. How about you babe?”
“Fifth year and your seventh winter ball after you stopped that guy from drugging me.”
“Oh my goodness!” Lily gasped.
“That’s a very specific moment.” Professor commented.
“It was a very specific turning point yes.” I shrugged.
…
We get back and I immediately went for a shower. Harry followed, “Babe? Can I join you?”
I sighed, “baby you know I love you but I need to just decompress.”
He gave me a strange look, “Everything alright love?”
I nodded as I went to lean into him, “Yeah, I just a little over peopled you know?”
He kissed the top of my head, “of course, would you like me to get your favorite movie and fuzzy blanket ready for when you get out?”
Giving him a squeeze, “That would be amazing.”
…
Cuddling on the couch Harry. I looked up at him, “Harry?”
He looked down at me in my place on his shoulder, “Yeah baby?”
“Why did you actually say those things about me when we were growing up?”
He froze, “I… I was an idiot. Easily influenced… Sirius always talked about your father and his connection to the death eaters and such. Then would suggest his kids were too. I know that isn’t an excuse and I know that I was just an awful little shit. I hope you know just how ashamed and embarrassed and sorry I am that I was that way. Truely I am so sorry baby. You’re the best thing in my life and I love you so much. I love you so much.”
I nodded, “thank you… I needed to hear that.”
He kissed my head, “I’m glad we talked this out. I hope you feel comfortable discussing your feelings with me. I will always try to make up for my idiocy. Can you ever forgive me?”
I snuggled further into him., “of course. But I will admit the memories still sting.”
He held me tight, “I understand. How are we feeling right now?”
“Let’s just watch the movie.”
…
We started going to Harry’s family dinners on a regular basis. I got to know my uncle even.
“So (y/n), Christmas is coming up, would you like to invite your family over here?” Lily asked.
I thought for a moment and looked at Harry, “I haven’t brought him home yet… dad hasn’t been the same since mom died..”
“Oh sweetheart… I’m so sorry to hear about your mom.” Lily sighed. “Must have been hard to have lost her. When did she pass?”
I shrugged, “last year… only six months after graduation. Dad didn’t take it well so he works all the time not that he didn’t work a lot before … and well he was protective before but since she died it’s hard to talk with him about much… I wouldn’t say dad has the emotional range of a cardboard box normally but right now he isn’t far off… I don’t know if he would even agree to come. I don’t know if I can be happy after hearing him say no to coming because he’s hurting. I don’t know… I’m sure mom told him about us before she died… I told her about us right before she got sick but he hasn’t said anything.”
Sirius came up and actually hugs me. “I’m sorry for your loss and I will get Regulus to come. I hope you know how much you are treasured here.”
…
Christmas came and dad actually came. As dinner came to an end Harry stood up, and looked at me, “(Y/n), I have never been so happy in my life than when I am with you.” He got down on one knee, “(y/n) Black, will you make me the happiest man and marry me?”
I smiled widely and threw my arms around him squealing, “Yes! Yes! Oh my god, yes!”
… we stumbled back into the house, teeth and lips clashing as we stripped each other. We bumped into walls and furniture as we made our way to the bedroom. Harry pulled me up the bed before he slipped down between my legs, kissing each leg. “Look at my pretty baby.” Harry hummed.
“Oh stop teasing! And eat me out!” I moaned.
Harry chuckled and propped himself up on his elbows, “I haven’t even had the chance to tease you yet! You’re so impatient.” He smirked before diving down between my legs running his tongue through my folds beginning to work me. He twirled and twisted his tongue lapping me up eagerly. I reached down and tugged at his tousled locks as I began to peak. When I did reach peak he allowed me to ride his face until I fell limp only to do it again three more times. He had me fucked out simply by his mouth. I relaxed into the bed as he climbed up me.
“Baby?” He hummed peppering kisses over my face, “pretty baby, can I have a turn?”
Instead of responding, I simply spread open my legs allowing him to slot his body in between my legs. He aligned himself and before pushing in he whispered, “I need to hear you say it. Come on love tell if I can have a turn. If the answer is no I will pull back, you know I will.”
I struggled to gather my thoughts and words before whimpering out, “gentle okay?”
He smiled softly, “of course love.” He placed tender kisses on my lips as he slides inside of me. “How does that feel love? Have I worked you out enough?”
I nodded and he began to pump in and out of me gently. As my moans grew louder, the more his pace grew faster. His own moans began to fill the room. He reached down between us and began to rub circles on my clitoris. “Come on baby, cum around my cock.”
I tried to focus on the feelings of him inside of me and his fingers working me until I began to contact around him screaming in ecstasy, causing Harry to let his own release wash over him. He coated my walls with his essence before he pulled out of me. He pulled me close and we fell into a blissful sleep dreaming of a happy life together.

Any fic recs? :) Barry, Evan, Wolfstar, jegulus! I’m DESPERATE! 🫶
Oooo okay, I have a few! I'm not super well versed, but these are some that come to mind!
quite like us: alarainai
[18:12] Seriously, wrong number. Don’t send shirtless pictures to strangers.
[18:13] Padfoot, this rejection hurts.
[18:16] What’s a Padfoot?
[18:17] Wait, is this actually not Padfoot?
[18:19] I don’t even know what that is, but no. I’m not a Padfoot.
Basically this is a wrong number fic, jegulus, background wolfstar, Barty's in this one too and he's the best friend ever! 16 chapters, light angst in the middle, and a happy ending! All around this easy such a fun, enjoyable read, I couldn't stop thinking about it
Baila Morena: officialmarseliphas
James was an arrogant prick. His annoying brother’s annoying best friend. But there he was, dancing and singing and drinking like he was ever allowed to be so beautiful. Regulus understood then that James was like the sun--hot, excruciatingly distant, and blinding. And Regulus needed both.
OR
Drunk James is a little more Gryffindor than Sober James. But even Sober James is obsessed with Regulus Black.
So this is a lil oneshot with a drool-worthy Hispanic James that Regulus does indeed drool over, so I speak the truth. Highly reccomend, though fair warning, James may (will) make you blush (+ supportive slytherin skittles)
forbidden fruit: moonystarx (girl__almighty)
part one of eight: all mouth, no trousers
James shoved him back, just slightly, and gritted his teeth, keeping his fists clenched at his side.
“Regulus, I said shut the fuck up!” Regulus just kept taunting him, teasing a smile onto his lips. James raked his eyes over his white teeth and pouty pink lips and his stomach flipped. The thought crossed his mind that Regulus would be nice to kiss, what with his girly lips and all, at the same time he thought about purpling the pale skin around his eyes.
“What, are you going to make me?” Suddenly, James’ mind was made up.
If Regulus wanted to play, he’d play.
This is a series with eight parts (the second one is my personal favorite), it takes place during Hogwarts years in which Regulus is appointed James' potions tutor so he can go to Slughorn's party and impress Lily. It starts out with a lot of smut (*THIS IS A SMUTTY SERIES*), but it actually gains a lot of emotional and romantic substance
Drugs and surgical scrubs: anauro
James was fairly certain nothing could ever come close to heroin, absolutely nothing, but Regulus Black wasn’t far off.
Medical AU fic set in modern London, where Regulus is a doctor and Marauders are drug addicts. Rated mature for addiction (including implied underage use and overdoses) and mental health illness themes. Chapters 20+ contain smut. All characters are adults.
Eventual James/Regulus, where it is James that needs saving.
This. THIS. I don't even have the words to describe how amazing THIS is to you. And no, it's not finished yet, but it doesn't NEED to be finished, because it is stunning. It's primary ship is jegulus and it's done perfectly, but there's some horny background wolfstar and technically background rosekiller... but if you want rosekiller I recommend:
Curiosity killed the cat (what Evan and Barty did that night): anauro
As his best friend of eight years, Barty knows exactly how to heal Evan’s broken heart.
This is meant to be read after ch18 of Drugs and surgical scrubs and is the accompanying piece, explaining what Evan and Barty did whilst James and Regulus played boardgames.
Having said that, it will also work as pwp if all you’re looking for is some smut!
As the summary implies, this rosekiller oneshot goes along what the previous fic, but it can be read on it's own too! It's smut. Very hot smut. Might wanna turn on a fan before reading this one 😘
I Stayed There: stoned_regulus
“I can’t lose you again.” & “Don’t raise your fucking voice at me.” + Rosekiller
It’s like he’s been transported back in time to that place he tends to haunt when he’s left alone with nothing but his thoughts. When Evan told Barty he’d found someone. When he told Barty he was happy. When Evan left him there in that restaurant. When Barty realized he’d been living in a fantasy of his own design thinking the boy he’d loved, loved him back.
I went on such a journey to re-find this, but I remembered it so fondly that I knew I had to. This is another rosekiller oneshot with some past love-lost angst, but they meet again at a party! I know there's background jegulus and maybe some other ships that I can't remember right now... but still worth a read!
Happy Christmas to you too: MoonageMiles
Barty comes home to his flat, and Evan stayed awake waiting for him
You guessed it ANOTHER rosekiller oneshot. This one is set during the war, after Regulus's death, on Christmas, and Evan and Barty are just trying to hold onto each other on the dark side. It's short and sweet (nevermind the fighting in the beginning, don't look at that, shhh) and I loved it
❤
I know I didn't add any main ship wolfstar fics to this list, I just don't really read them unfortunately. I think I have my perfect view of them in my head, you know? But I think some of my favorite portrayals of them, again, in the background (of jegulus primary fics) that I haven't already mentioned are these:
Ogni Parte È Viva (Every Part Is Alive): euphorial_docx
when you were mine: sequinhaze
And then also, just for fun, I'm adding some fics I've never read before but that I found while getting all the info for this list. They looked interesting to me, so they might interest you!
in the end, it's the beginning: zeromancies
Regulus has never been addicted to something. Not really. But then again, he’s so far deep in the rabbit hole of addiction. Being addicted to James Potter was absolutely exhilarating and it’s the rush of adrenaline Regulus gets every time he ghosts his fingers over James’ skin that keeps him craving more.
Regulus is invited to go to Sirius' eighteenth birthday holiday in Tenerife - with his group of friends, and one James Potter to permanently alter his perception of almost everything.
How To Not Die Young: Sock_Meister_png
"Remus finds himself with his legs dangling over the edge of the small bridge at the end of the street. He looks down and for a second, he's anyone but himself."
"Regulus lets the waves pour over his knees, he allows the water do as it will with him. He allows himself to close his eyes and simply exist. He wonders if this is what freedom feels like."
"Barty lies down on the other side of the river. He desperately grabs onto the grass on either side of him. As if mother earth would take more pity on him than that is capable of his own mother."
or, a wolfstar, jegulus/sunseeker, and rosekiller au feat. highschool drama, plants, licorice, and bands

send ⭐ for muses I'd like to explore <3
placed under a read more because there's quite a few dynamics sjsjsjs.
regulus & draco. so i have an undying need for regulus black lives and tries to stop draco from following down his path, like it's essential. but i know that your draco follows the werewolf theory which would also be very interesting. like regulus knows exactly how their family would react to that, and the other people around draco, and the regulus i write has grown up A LOT since he was a teenager. it would be an interesting dynamic, i think.
regulus & scorpius, depending on how you write scorpius, i can also see a potential here for complicated family dynamics.
percy & jason, of course, these two boys with their own camps and their own responsibilities and becoming two entirely different people because of this. it's very interesting and i love exploring it. i hate the "oh, i need to prove i'm better than him" kind of thing percy and jason were forced into in canon because i really don't see that as ... part of their personalities ?? so it'd be nice to explore otherwise.
percy & luke. potential, potential, so much potential !!!! like i'm all for the canon route of enemies these two went down, but i've also down for canon divergences where sally actually died and percy went full rebellion against the gods, on luke's side. kind of like the idea of sally dying earlier and percy ending up on the streets with luke, annabeth and thalia somehow. so much potential here.
sally & percy, role reversal i'd love to write my sally with your percy. because that relationship is just ... *chefs kiss*. i adore it. let me have it all.
poseidon & percy, same as the above, give me all the father-son dynamics. give me the angst, the rage, the bitterness, what it's like to have a child that heralds your doom, what it's like to have a father that doomed you to such a difficult life, and what it's like to find a way to love them anyway. poseidon desperately not wanting to lose his son and trying to find ways to get percy to accept godhood ... *side eyes*.
percy & ashton, when i read ashton's bio i kind of thought of percy and ashton being on a quest and ashton needing to use his charmspeak to manipulate their captors or whatever, and percy being like, yeah, thanks, bro, can you also charmspeak the dogs to stop barking and alerting everyone to where we are? unfortunately, i can only speak to horses. like i don't know why, but i really just get a chill vibe from these two together.
jace & alec, parabatai all the way i will die on this hill. i love these two. give me all the dynamics from the little boys who first met to the men they grow into, all the angst, the hurt they've inadvertently given one another, the devotion and even how that devotion can be their downfall !!!
clary & george, these two of simon's best friends meeting and being like, hmmmm ... like i can see a little bit of resentment in clary that someone could ever come into simon's life and replace her. but then she's so happy he had someone at the academy, and it's like "okay, truce, let's agree to share him."
clary & theo, i like the idea of clary being interested in this werewolf-nephilim hybrid, especially in a verse where jocelyn and luke have had a kid. like she would be trying to figure out what to expect for the future for her half-sibling, but even without that, i think she'd have a soft spot for him. defending him against the clave, etc.
scott & christopher argent jr. i like the idea of exploring a dynamic with allison's brother. that's something that scott never had to do in canon, and with a brother that's even more involved in the family business, even if he isn't after him like his father ( initially ), mother, grandfather and aunt were.
scott & liam, i love this dynamic !! scott's first beta, which he has so much guilt about and it's his responsibility and he messes up but he loves that kid and he wants to protect him ugh, give me scott and liam all the time, every day.
hayley & donovan, there's the past with tyler that i think would be really interesting for hayley to interact with his kid. especially when he's attending the same school as her kid.
hayley & klaus, my otp, i honestly don't care if it's romantic, sexual, platonic, familial, these two and their dynamics have a grip on my heart. i will always, always want to write everything about them. canon, divergence, au's - give me it all.
klaus & rebekah, sibling bond at it's toxic finest !! honestly, need i say any more.
hayley & rebekah, also sisterhood, because they both deserve it sm and they're both exactly what the other would need as a sister i think.
wednesday & enid, that's her best friend. she's never had a best friend before that isn't a disembowled hand but enid snuck under that skin and into her black heart and she's staying there. it was not wednesday's choice but it's happening. i love the dynamic.
katniss & finnick, like these two lost their minds together in thirteen and i will never be over their friendship. it is the LAST person katniss ever thought she'd be friends with but he ended up one of her best friends and i will forever sob about them. i love them, all dynamics, including an au where the rebellion never happened and katniss ended up a capitol puppet just like him. *side eyes*.
sam&dean & lennox, give me winchester sibling things. a littlest sibling for dean to be responsible for, a little sister for sam to also be responsible for. like there's so much potential here. sam not being the "baby" is ... interesting, because john and dean trying to "shelter" him is a major part of who he is.

It was when Regulus was searching for a way to say sorry to Alice that he encountered that song. Carla Bruni. He hadn't paid attention to her music before. Walburga fancied it and listened to it sometimes. But Regulus was more a classical music kind of person.
Sometimes when he listened to songs about romance and love, he felt so stupidly out of place. And Carla Bruni, she surely sounded romantic.
The song that Alice had played for him had been one of those. "Le ciel dans un chambre". It was a song that talked how amazing it felt to have the person you loved beside you, all the amazing things they made you feel, how you reached the sky when you were with them.
All Regulus could think while slow dancing with Alice was that he would never feel something like that for her. Maybe for anyone
Then Alice had tried kissing him, and Regulus panicked yelling at her horrible things. It wasn't fair for Alice. He had told everyone he fancied her because she was the prettiest girl at Hogwarts. It was a default answer actually. He didn't actually fancy her. But Alice had probably heard about it and that's why she had tried to flirt with him.
Alice was not that bad. She was nice and funny. And she was French. They both spoke the language and had visited common places in Paris.
However Regulus didn't like her like that.
Regulus had been listening to Carla Bruni ever since to apologize. Of course he understood all her lyrics without a translation. So when "L'amour" started playing through his earphones, he kept on listening.
The part that caught his attention (translated to English) was like this:
"Why make all those pleasures, thrills, caresses, shallow promises?
What's the point of getting caught in it again
Heart beating wildly
Understand nothing?
It's an ambush
Love won't do
It isn't a Saint Laurent
It won't hang perfectly
If I can't find my style
It isn't for lack of trying
So, love? I pass"
Obviously the song was about not wanting to do anything with love after getting hurt. But Regulus understood the feeling. Love? It wasn't for him. Was that bad? Was he sick or broken? He didn't understand why couldn't he like anyone that way. Not girls. Not boys.
If Sirius had been in that situation he would have kissed Alice without problem. (Well maybe before falling for Lupin). Actually any boy his age would have done it. She was beautiful and the most desired girl around.
What if Regulus was gay? Though he imagined a boy in the same situation he had been with Alice last night and he didn't like it. Shouldn't he have fancied some bloke by now?
God!! Why was everyone so bloody obsessed with fucking love? Was it really the most amazing feeling in the world? Why did teenagers look for a partner so bloody much?
"What's up with you, future little husbie?"
Regulus wiped his tears away as Pandora sat down next to him.
"I am not your future husband, Panda. We are not getting married" Regulus sniffed.
"That's not what your parents and my uncle say" Pandora smiled.
All the efforts The Black Family had made to make sure Regulus was not like Sirius. That he wouldn't suddenly start dating a bloke like Sirius did. Pandora was just a rich girl that his parents had introduced to him so people would see he was "straight". And she was annoying sometimes but Regulus liked her (not like that). Another girl Regulus had failed to fancy.
"We're not getting married, okay? I probably would never get bloody married!! Fucking hell, just leave me alone, would you? I am not in the mood for jokes"
"Sorry" Pandora twisted her mouth in regret "You might not be my future husband but you're my friend, Reg. Are you okay? Do you want to talk?"
In these circumstances Regulus would talk with Barty. But he was angry and wasn't talking to him. He could talk with Panda but he didn't know what to say. So he stayed quiet.
"What are you listening to?" Before Regulus could answer, the girl grabbed one earphone and put it on her ear.
Pandora was crazy. She didn't stop talking. She was loud and pushed Regulus to the limit. She was exasperating. She was so annoying and she kept insisting that she and Regulus were friends, though Regulus had been doing nothing but being mean to her. But maybe Regulus kind of liked her. He would never admit it, yet...
"French!" Pandora practically yelled "What does it mean?" she asked excitedly.
Regulus sighed "Love" although not in a positive way.
"If you're looking for a song to serenade me, maybe try something in English. I don't understand rien...." then she started laughing "See what I did there? Rien....I know that one word for that ancient song my Uncle fancies... "
Regulus rolled his eyes as Pandora kept on explaining.
"It speaks about someone who doesn't want anything to do with love" Regulus interrupted. Pandora tried to listen closely as if somehow she could suddenly understand it all.
"Like myself" Regulus added mostly to himself.
But Pandora didn't pay attention. She was busy enjoying the next song which was more upbeat. And talked about love again.
"Panda, I don't think love is for me"
"Ha?" Pandora took the earphone off. But Regulus had lost the confidence to speak.
"Nothing"
"No! Tell me!!" How was this girl so loud?
"I don't think love is for me!" Regulus repeated annoyed.
"Oh?" Pandora raised an eyebrow "That's okay. It's okay not to want that now"
"I'm talking about ever" Regulus swallowed "Which means we would never get married"
Pandora laughed "That's fine. As long as we are friends?"
Regulus was looking at her as if she had gone mental.
"Did you hear what I said?" Regulus asked "I don't fancy anyone! Not girls.... Or boys. Probably would never fancy anyone like that!... Am I broken?"
Pandora was quiet to consider it. She didn't tell him he would find someone one day. Like the rest have said.
"I don't think you're broken" Pandora shrugged "Emmeline keeps telling me about different sexualities..." she blushed when she mentioned Emmeline. The two of them seemed pretty close "She says there are people who like the opposite gender. Then others who like the same gender..."
"Gay people..." Regulus thought about Sirius.
Pandora nodded "There are also the ones who liked both... Like me"
And Pandora said it just like that. As if it was the most normal thing.
"You like both?" At least she fancied people...
Pandora shrugged and nodded "If that's the case there are probably people who like none..."
"None?" Regulus asked "Is that possible?"
"We should ask Emmeline. She knows loads" Pandora smiled.
"Do you fancy Emmeline?"
Regulus had the hope there would be more people like him. Maybe Pandora who was weird.
But she wasn't like him. She was blushing even more to that question.
"What dear husband, are you jealous?"
Regulus rolled his eyes. But then he smiled.
"Sure..."
"Let's go ask her now!" Pandora grabbed his arm.
"Oh!" Regulus shook his head "Not right now"
As in he was embarrassed to talk about this with Emmeline. It had been already hard with Pandora. Although Pandora was weird and seemed to know how to get things out of him.
"Okay" Pandora lied back, took the spare earphone to herself and placed her head on his shoulder "Can you tell me what does this one say? Sounds nice"
And so they listened to Carla Bruni, and Regulus translated without problem. He pointed out how all the songs were about romance and Pandora agreed. So they moved on to listen to Classical music until Panda fell asleep on his shoulder.
People who fancied none... Was that possible? Wouldn't that be lonely? What if Regulus didn't want to be different like that? He couldn't be different now that Sirius was. He couldn't be different if he were to be the Heir. Or at least he had to pretend to be "normal".
God, he wished he could talk about this with Sirius. But they weren't in speaking terms. So better shut up for now.
"L'amour pas pour moi" he thought about Carla Bruni's words. "Love, it isn't for me"
#Carla Bruni's music is so Regulus#I got inspired to write this by listening to this song#marauders#maraudersera#muggleau#regulus black#aroace#aroace regulus black#pandora lovegood#carla bruni#l'amour

Notes passed between Barty and Regulus, sitting in their dorm, January 1st 1976
Barty
Regulus
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you receiving this note?
I’m sitting right next to you, clearly I am receiving this note. Why are we talking through notes when we’re sitting right next to each other ON THE SAME BED?
This is serious serious stuff, I can’t say this to your face with actual words
Let me guess.
No
You have another crush?
Kinda but not what you think.........
Ominous....
I don’t know who that is but it’s not them
Ominous isn’t a person... it’s a word. Forget it. Just tell me.
Promise you won’t hate me?
I’m incapable of hating you.
But still promise...
I promise I won’t hate you.
Don’t think I’m gross.
I won’t.
Actually I’m chickening out, I’ll tell you some other time
Barty. Tell me right now or I’ll stop entertaining this writing notes thing and make you tell me to my face.
FINEEEEEEEE
‘Fine’ doesn’t contain that many letter ‘E’s.
Who CARES. ANYWAY, my secret is....
Oh the suspense...
You aren’t taking me seriously. You’re being sarcastic.
I’m sorry, just tell me. I promise you can trust me, okay? Please? I really want you to tell me.
Okay. So...
Yes?
I may or may not like boys
.... Meaning?
I like boys
Romantically?
Yes, if you’re going to unfriend me please do it nicely
I like boys too.
(They stop writing notes to each other at this point, everything after this is spoken)
Barty: WHAT!?
Regulus: Yeah, I um, I like boys. Wow, that’s the first time I’ve said it aloud.
Barty, staring at Regulus wide-eyed: Wow, I never would have guessed.
Regulus: Well I never would have guessed about you either, you always have a new crush on some girl.
Barty: I like girls too.
Regulus: Oh... I-I don’t.
Barty: You don’t?
Regulus: Does that make me... abnormal?
Barty: No! Not at all! I thought I was the abnormal one for liking both.
Regulus: I don’t think that’s abnormal at all.
Barty: So we’re both normal?
Regulus: I think we are!
Barty: Thank Merlin! I’m so glad I told you. I feel like I’ve bottling this up inside for like... years. Scratch that, I have been bottling this up inside for years.
Regulus: Since when?
Barty: Second year.
Regulus: Really?
Barty: Yeah...
Regulus: Do you... have feelings for someone? A boy?
Barty: Um...
Regulus, sensing Barty’s nervousness: You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.
Barty: I um... I don’t. Not right now. Do you? You know, have feelings for a boy?
Regulus: No. Definitely not. Not at the moment.
Barty: Oh. Okay.
Regulus: But I’ll tell you when I do.
Barty: Oh yeah, definitely! I’ll tell you too!
Regulus: Thanks for telling me. I’ve wanted to tell you for a while but I’ve been so scared you might not accept it and I’d lose you as a friend.
Barty: Reg, you could literally kill my dad and I’d still be your friend.
Regulus: You’d kiss me if I killed your dad.
Barty, blushing: OH MY GOD, WHAT!! I WOULD NEVER KISS YOU!
Regulus: Okay, okay. I just meant that you hate your dad so you’d probably thank me.
Barty: Oh. Yeah. Haha.
Regulus: Anyway, maybe we should get some sleep. School starts again on soon and I need my eight hours of sleep if we have to deal with our dorm mates returning tomorrow.
Barty: Okay, fine.... it’s only 8:30 but...
Regulus: I need my morning walk too!
Barty: OKAY!
