request; can you do more male!reader x regulus black?๐ - anon
a/n; hi! i'd love to - thank u so much for requesting and please feel free to send in more requests for male!readers! you guys deserve content <3 i hope you enjoy these, have a great day/night!
okay okay okay. first thing i feel i'm desperate to talk about is nicknames.
- you'd think reggie isn't really one for nicknames, but he is. just certain and specific ones.
- he's quite likes some classic petnames; handsome, love, the like
- but because this boy is a show off, french nicknames are where his heart lies. you can pry the french speaking regulus headcanon from my cold, dead hands, okay.
- things like mon amour, mon cher, mon ange, the list goes on. he likes it best when you don't understand what they mean.
- in terms of himself, you can call him whatever. he might not like if you go too far with the mushy, soft stuff, but if it makes you happy, so be it
- simplicity is his thing when it comes to nicknames for him; reggie, reg, love, babe, all that jazz
you've heard the saying that in a relationship, what's mine is yours. this definitely applies to yours and regulus's relationship
- you two basically have one large combined wardrobe at this point. what clothes belong to who doesn't matter anymore, if you want to wear it, you will.
- it's very fun to try on all of the overly fancy dress clothes his parents buy him for balls and dinner parties
- "reg, i really don't know why you don't wear this more often." "ugh, stop making fun of me mon ange."
- sharing books, quills, textbooks, and the like
- if you're a reader, he will leave little notes in the margins of your favourite books, sorry
waking up with him is always an experience
- regulus is not a morning person, okay. he will not wake up. no matter what.
- you will have to shake him vigorously whilst shouting at him to get up or he'll be late
- he will try to pull you back into his arms, his chest warm against your back
- but if you aren't a morning person either? good luck
- you'll need to set so many alarms
he loves subtly flirting with you in public
- look i know i said before he isn't one for pda
- but little winks and smirks across rooms?
- compliments bordering on flirty
- getting just a little too close when you're sitting next to each other, your knees brushing against each other
- he sees it as a fun game
sirius lives for teasing you two
- calling you both loverboys 24/7
- teasing regulus when he shows a little more affection than normal
- loves pointing out when you borrow one of his shirts, or when regulus steals your trousers
- "oh? and what's going on here?" "piss off sirius"
- but its fine. you get your revenge by making fun of him and remus
lets talk height differences
- if you're taller? he loves burying his face into the crook of your neck, or just rubbing his face against your jaw (if you've seen the gifs of timmy chalamet, you know what i mean)
- standing on his tiptoes constantly to 'prove' he's taller
- if you're shorter? he'll rest his chin on top of your head at all times, pressing sporadic kisses to your forehead and temples
- doesn't matter if you're only an inch shorter, he will tease you, so long as it isn't an insecurity of yours
also feel like finishing this with a few random things
- always being able to find each other at parties. it's a talent at this point. you'll be wondering where he is, then next thing you know he's right by your side
- a lot of inside jokes. he'll just whisper them into your ear at random times to see you dissolve into laughter, leaving everyone around you like??? why is he laughing so hard??? what did regulus say to him??
- play with his hair. right now. do it.
- also play with his rings. he loves it. "hm? d'you wanna borrow one, mon cher?"
this is all i can think of for now, so i hope these were okay!!! thank you so so much for the request!!!

MASTERLIST, TAGLIST
FEMALE DNI !!!
Page after page turned by your hands, your eyes skimming along the text. Your classmates were all having a difficult time concentrating during the lesson, despite the professorโs attempts at focusing everyoneโs attention; endless chatter coming from all directions; laughter filled your ears and a constant movement out of the corner of your eye, which in turn made it difficult for you to pay attention. The movement would be the four idiots you made the mistake of befriending; James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin. Remus and Peter werenโt too bad in your opinion, but they generally tended to get dragged into whatever new scheme James and Sirius were plotting. Sometimes, theyโd even manage to rope you in.ย
Not today, though.
Today you were having lessons with the Slytherins in the year below you, which meant you were solely focused on one thing and one thing only: beating Regulus Black. One might assume that he was a quiet kid who would keep his head down and mind his own business. It was an assumption that would be incorrect. He was an overachieving assholeโat least around youโwith a temper as cold as the Black Lake. You had had the privilege of witnessing his very rare outbursts in person, often directed at his brother, Sirius, and sometimes even at you.
You knew that he was at the top of almost all of his classes in his year. How he managed to do so well, you didnโt know, considering he shared the same gene pool as Sirius. It was a constant competition between the two of you, Remus occasionally joining in as well. Right now, though, Remus seemed to be more preoccupied with the other Black brother to pay any attention to the History lesson.
You glanced over at Regulus, seeing him hunched over his book in a horrible fashion, almost looking as if he were asleep. You knew he wasnโt, only by his small movements and the turning of the pages in his book. He seemed to be able to ignore everyone around him fine enough. Even his best mates Rosier and Crouch Jr failed to distract him, though not from lack of trying. Pandora Lovegood and Dorcas Meadowes appeared to be in their own conversation, occasionally throwing glances around the room. You knew them only because of their relation to Regulus, and because Marlene couldnโt stop talking about Dorcas.
Your gaze, however, was still fixated on Regulus. Because you were so focused on him, you barely noticed your Professor of History had begun speaking until Remus nudged your side. You grimaced, but he only nodded in the Professorโs direction. He had begun to assign you into pairs for some new project that would be due, forcing a groan out of you. You hated working in pairs.
Before your mind could catch up to what was happening, everyone had already been paired up, and your professorโs attention was on you.
โl/n, andโโ His gaze flew across the room to the only single person left, โBlack.โ
Your eyes immediately flew to the spot where Regulus sat, finding his eyes as wide as yours. Your thoughts were voiced as he began to exclaim, โWait, noโ Professor!โ
The Professor raised his voice above the chatter of the rest of the class, โIf youโre disappointed with your partnerโโ He sent a pointed look at Regulus, โPlease do not come complaining to me, I do not care whatsoever.โ
Regulusโ jaw flew shut, but not without a surly expression painting his features. Dramatic bastard, you thought. Youโd be stuck with him as well. And in your opinion, your fate was much worse. You considered arguing with the professor, despite of what heโd said. You decided against it. Better make the best of bad situation, right?
With quiet resignation, you heaved a sigh as you gripped your bag tighter and stepped towards him. Immediately his head raised in your direction, but you ignored his glare as you easily sat yourself down in the empty seat beside him, book thrown to the floor and feet kicked onto the table. The younger boy immediately recoiled in his seat; not smaller in his presence, but more reserved. His hand reflexively made its way to block your view of his books and notes, as if to shield any secret information from your eyes.
โAlright there, Black?โ you asked with a nonchalance you certainly did not feel.
Regulusโ eyes narrowed, a scowl making its way onto his face. โYour idiot friends annoyed you too much?โ he sneered, cocking his head in their direction.
You glanced at the mentioned four idiots, smiling. It was difficult to ignore the pointed looks they were sending you, well aware that theyโd take any chance to tease you. Your head turned back to Regulus, meeting his gaze with a wide grin.
โNot annoying enough, no. Thought youโd succeed much better.โ
โI am certain you stand for all the annoyance that is in my current vicinity,โ he scoffed.
Your face twisted into a hurt expression, a hand pressed to your chest. But you couldnโt keep the corner of your lips from tugging up in amusement. โOh, Black, and here I was thinking you were starting to like me.โ
โLetโs just get this over with,โ grumbled Regulus, trying and failing to hide his dismay of being paired up together with you. โIโll do the first section, youโll do the second one, and weโll go over it all by the end.โ
โFine by me,โ you said while rolling your eyes. The two of you might have been in a competitive rivalry, stretching through different classes throughout the years, but you hadnโt spent that much actual time together. Aside from the occasional sneer or sarcastic commentโor in your case, prankโyouโd never properly interacted with him. And save for what Sirius had told you about his despicable demeanour, you didnโt know much about him either.
Regulus was already deep in the coursework, writing on his parchment and glancing to the book every once in a while. You rolled your eyes; what a goody two-shoes. You almost had the mind to say it out loud, but refrained in light of your cooperation. It would only put him in a sour moodโwhich ultimately made you want to do it more. Even though you were good in class, you liked to consider yourself as something more than just your grades. Regulus, however, seemed to only care about his schoolwork.
โDo you ever have any fun?โ you asked him suddenly.
Regulus halted in his writing and looked at you with a confused frown. โWhat?โ
You shrugged and said, โI always see you with your nose in a book, always with that surly expression on your face. Itโs like youโre allergic to being happy.โ
โIโm happy,โ he countered, glaring at you.
โYou know what I mean,โ you sighed. โI mean having silly, innocent fun with your friends, laughing your arse off, going to parties and doing stupid shit โcause youโre too pissed. That sort of fun.โ
Regulus raised an eyebrow, almost defensive. โI do have fun.โ
You found it hard to believe him. The most introverted and standoffish Slytherin actually enjoyed partying and getting up to drunken adventures? Not a chance.
You voiced your thoughts, saying, โI donโt believe you.โ
He leant closer, gripping the edge of the desk. โI do have fun.โ Your shoulders raised in a shrug but Regulusโ gaze didnโt stray from yours. He sighed. โYou donโt believe me.โ
โNo,โ you whispered mischievously. It wasnโt a question, but you felt compelled to answer anyway.
A breath released from Regulus as he shook his head. โWhatever.โ
You shook your head, as well, and returned to your schoolwork. Soon, you were distracted again by Regulus working diligently beside you. The way his focus overtook his entire person almost made it seem as if there was no world outside of the one he created around his work. It was mesmerising seeing his hair fall in locks over his eyes and his lips quietly move along with silent words. You didnโt think youโve ever taken the time to appreciate him like this. He looked almost peaceful.
Then his hand halted mid-air, his eyes shifting back and forth over the page, and his entire demeanour tensed. It seemed that he was almost unsure of what to do. You could feel the edges of your lips start to quirk as you realised what was going on.
He doesnโt know the answer, you thought to yourself.
A normal thing for any other student, but a reason for gloating and pettiness in your case. You did a quick sweep of the class around you, but all the other students seemed too preoccupied with their own work to notice anything amiss. Your eyes shifted back and forth to Regulus and back at your book. It felt as if your thoughts ran a mile a minute.
Fuck, am I really doing this?
You turned to the boy, grinning. Regulus noticed your stare and looked up hesitantly at you, narrowing his eyes.
โWhat do you want?โ he snapped.
Your smile was cocky as you considered him. You knew you had the upper hand, but still a part of you wanted to help. Not only because you were partners in the same schoolwork, but because you genuinely wanted to help him. Why, you didnโt let yourself think of for too long.
โListen, l/n, I donโt have time for this,โ said Regulus. โJust say something arse-y and leave me be.โ His eyes fell to his textbook as your own smile faded.
Is that all he thinks of me?
You cleared your throat before sitting up straight. โBlack, as much as I like to be an asshole, I want to help.โ You saw his eyebrows furrow as he if he tried to detect the lies in your words.
Am I really doing this?
โWhat?โ His eyes finally met yours, an eyebrow raised in disbelief.
You nodded at his textbook. โWith the questions. I saw you needed help.โ
Iโm really doing this.
Regulus rolled his eyes. โI donโt need any help, and certainly not from you.โ
โHuh, could have sworn you hesitated for a second there,โ you trailed off while a smile started to tug at your lips. Then you straightened, amusement gone from your tone. โListen, if you fail, I fail. Iโm doing this for me.โ
Regulusโ eyes were fixed at a point in front of him, staying silent. You began to wonder if he had even heard you. Maybe he knew you were lying, and an actual part of you wanted to help him instead of blaming it on selfish reasons.
Finally, he sighed, muttering, โFine, you can help. But no mentioning this to anyoneโespecially not Sirius and his three dancing mice.โ
You tried to smother a laugh. โYou know you can be real funny when youโre not being an arrogant prick.โ Regulus rolled his eyes as you continued, โBesides, itโs only Peter that is a rodent.โ
โWhat?โ he raised an eyebrow.
โWhat?โ you dismissed the comment.
You turned your attention to the paper in front of Regulus. He only sighed and gestured for you to proceed. Between a few competitive comments and the tension between Regulus and his brother, the two of you hadnโt really had the chance to properly speak before. Talking to him wasโฆ refreshing, to say the least. Even if it was just to explain the rules of grammar in the mid-twentieth century when the Wizarding English was being affected by the mingling of Muggle English. Today, there was almost no distinction, except from a few terms and phrases; back then, however, people constructed sentences in entirely different ways.
Your interaction with him earlier had left you on edge but you were still intrigued. You didnโt know what, but something was there; it was an itch you couldnโt get rid of but couldnโt help but to scratch. Multiple times while talking did you find Regulusโ eyes on your face instead of whatever you were gesturing to in the text. You were also painfully aware of how close every part of him was to you. Your skin burned when his hand came too closeโitching to draw it closer or further away, you didnโt know. You blamed it on your nervousness of being this close to your well known rival, and nothing else.
โโwhich is why main clauses were written with this subject-verb relationship, instead of what is common in todayโs Wizarding English.โ You fingers shifted over the page, pointing out the paragraphs you mentioned. When no reply came you glanced at Regulus, finding his gaze already pinned at you.
He cleared his throat, already moving his quill. โRight, yes.โ
You sighed, glaring at him. โAlright, what is it?โ
โWhat?โ Regulus met your gaze with a seemingly bored tone but widened eyes that betrayed his real feelings. Exactly what those feelings were, you didnโt know.
โYou keep staring at me. Whatโs your problem?โ When no reply came you scoffed. โJust spit it out already.โ
His head tilted to the side, as if inspecting you. โI keep thinking of what you said earlier. About me not having fun.โ
โOh, yeah? Youโre gonna have to prove it, Black,โ your smile immediately widened, leaning back in your chair.
You didnโt know why he was so adamant on convincing you, but the Gryffindor in you didnโt back down. An eyebrow arched at the challenge before he levelled his stare on you. He let out a deep sigh.
โFine, thereโs a gathering at the Slytherin Commons tonight. Be at the entrance at seven.โ Regulus even smiled, a dangerous smile that showed nothing but pure glee. โIโll show you fun.โ
You hadnโt thought Regulus would take the bait. Youโd always known him as the antisocial type, with a calculated cool to him, unlike the hot temper of his brother. In no universe would you have guessed he would invite you to spend time with him just out of spite. The spite part, that was believable, but not him inviting you.
โWhat? Not gonna give me the password?โ Your lips tugged up, not being able to refrain from teasing him.ย
He scoffed, turning to his parchment again. โOh, please, youโd just bring my brother and all his delinquents to ruin our party. Come alone.โ
It made you wonder if he was up to something else; maybe something he and his Slytherin friends had cooked up to get the drop on you.
But the offer sounded too good to pass up on and you smiled. โThat sounds awfully murder-y.โ
Regulus lips tugged into half a smile. โGuess youโre just gonna have to trust me.โ
You couldnโt keep your own smile from widening, also turning your gaze to the book in front of you. Despite your previous judgements, you were eager to learn more about Regulus. The better you knew him, the better you could beat him in academic levels, right?
Regulus cleared his throat. โThanks for this, by the way.โ
โJust donโt expect it again,โ you said, handing back the book to him. You added with a rushed whisper, โAnd I did it for me, not you. Youโd do well to remember that.โ
Regulus considered you with a raised eyebrow, before huffing out, โWhatever.โ
His fingers flew by yours, featherlight and barely touching as he took the book from you. It was all it took for the hairs on your arms to raise and your pulse to quicken suddenly and unexpectedly. You drew your hand back as if burned by his touch. His gaze met yours, a suspicious narrowing in them. You hoped that he didnโt note the slight warmth that had spread across your cheeks; or if he had, would choose to ignore it.
The rest of the lecture flew by, almost entranced by the course work at hand. You actually enjoyed studying, as crazy as it might sound. And it made it slightly easier forgetting you were currently working together with Regulus Black. It was even sort ofโฆ nice.
Soon, the professor dismissed the class and you handed your parchment to Regulus for him to combine them and turn them in to your professor. You caught his gaze, saw the thoughts swirling in his eyes, an ongoing battle seeming to unfurl inside that brain of his.
โThis was tolerable, I guess,โ he managed to force out at last.
You gave him a lopsided grin. โI agree, I can be quite the chap.โ Regulus rolled his eyes as you stood up, taking your books in your hand.
Regulus muttered another, โWhatever,โ before leaving the desk to join his group of friends.ย
โSee you at seven,โ you threw over your shoulder with a grin, before turning your attention to your own group of friends. You saw them pack up their books and quills with strays of laughter reaching you. You already dreaded their taunts and teases. Behind you, you heard Crouch Jr and Rosier exclaim in harsh whispers and loud laughter, while Regulus stood between them, stone-faced. Between the two, you much preferred your Gryffindorsโ jokers.
You hurriedly made your way out of the classroom and practically got jumped by James and Peter, stumbling with their weight around you. You couldnโt help but bark out a laugh, when Marlene and Mary then opened their mouths with the same glint of mischievousness in their eyes.
โOi, you looked pretty chummy there,โ said Mary.
โYeah, when you changing to the Slytherin House?โ asked Peter.
โSnogging with Regulus, huh?โ That was James.
Sirius emerged from the classroom with Remus, grimacing, โOi, thatโs my brother youโre talking about. I donโt wanna hear it.โ
You were silently thankful for Siriusโ disgust of hearing of his brotherโs paramours; maybe that could keep them from pestering you. You listened to them absentmindedly, only processing half of what was being said. The other part of your mind was focused behind you, where Regulus had just exited with Crouch Jr and Rosier, his usual stoic expression on his face. You glanced at him, seeing Regulus meet your gaze and his lips tug into a smile almost imperceptibly.
Maybe you imagined it? The conversation youโd had with him implied there was more to him than what was perceptible at first glance, and you were intrigued to find out more. Your head whipped around to your friends again, rubbing the back of your neck.
Mary eyed you knowingly, crossing her arms. โCouldnโt get enough of the Slytherin, huh?โ
You settled her with a glare, sighing. Guess they werenโt done with their remarks quite yet. โWe were just working on the project together and he didnโt know an answer to one of the questions, soโโ
โSo you decided to take the opportunity to flirt with him,โ interrupted Mary. Your glare returned to her, releasing a huff.
Marlene leant on the tips of her toes to rest her cheek on your shoulder. With a wicked glint in her eye, she whispered, โBetter be careful so you havenโt got Slytherin cooties on you.โ
You sent her a seething glare, muttering, โYouโre one to talk.โ
Her cheeks turned red and she quickly shut up, her teasing remarks forgotten. She muttered something you couldnโt hear, but chose to ignore her. The rest of them werenโt so easy to shut up, and you bit down your own remarks as the rest of them erupted into laughter, keeping your face cool and walking off their comments.
It didnโt stop them from making more. They trailed behind you, jumping and laughing with glee. Sirius looked almost as annoyed as you, but you could tell even he found the situation amusing despite whatever dispute was between the Black brothers.
You considered telling them about the invitation to the Slytherin party and about the way you had challenged Regulus to prove you wrong. However, you could almost see Siriusโ face fall in your mind when you told him that you would genuinely want to go, without any ulterior motive. He would see it as a betrayal to your friendship; even considering wanting to willingly spend time with Regulus when the two were on such poor terms was a form of betrayal. So, you thought better of it and kept your mouth shut.
They kept up their teasing the whole way to the Gryffindor tower, finding it weirdly hilarious. Why, you couldnโt understand. But you couldnโt keep them from it. As soon as the painting swung open and gave you passage to the common room, you immediately dropped into the sofas beside the fireplace. Remus sat next to you, letting the others settle around you, and immediately turned to the page he had been at in his book. You marvelled at his ability to read at anytime and at any place. James, Sirius and Peter curled up together on the sofa opposite you, throwing playful jabs at one another, while Marlene and Maryโs faces lit up in smiles. Their bags had been dropped in a heap on the floor beside them.
Before anyone could get a word out, a figure stepped through the portraitโs entrance, her red hair trailing behind her. James started, jumping from the sofa and calling out to her. She looked up from her book and smiled, running towards the rest of you. She threw her book bag by her feet, claiming the spot next to you.
โPerfect timing.โ Siriusโ grin was back, his eyes full of glee. โLily, guess what happened today?โ
โBloody hell,โ you groaned, chest heaving with a sigh as you laid down in her lap, covering your face with your hands. Apparently Sirius was no longer annoyed by the topic but found it just as entertaining as the rest of them. You werenโt sure which was worse. โCan we not?โ
Lily chuckled, looking down at you. โIโm guessing it has to do something with your poor mood.โ
The fire from the hearth cast an orange light across the ground, flickering against everyoneโs faces. The sky was turning grey outside, the sun going down over the Black Lake. You saw James lean forward on his elbows through the gaps of your fingers, and Peter was practically bouncing in his seat with a grin to match Siriusโ.
โIt has something to do with him, alright,โ said James.
You blew out your breath through your clenched teeth and sat up again. If theyโd just drag this on forever and avoid getting to the point, you might as well just rip the bandaid off. โI got paired up with Regulus in class today, thatโs all.โ
Lily looked to Sirius. โYour brother?โ
โYeah,โ he said.
โWell thatโs not too bad.โ She looked between you and the others. โWhatโs the big deal, then?โ
โThereโs no big deal,โ you said. You turned to the rest of them. โI was only studying with him, I donโt get whatโs so funny about that.โ
Peter cocked an eyebrow. โIโve seen you studying before, youโre always quiet.โ He turned to the rest of them, question written in his eyes. โRight? You guys have seen him?โ
โYeah,โ exclaimed James, pointing an accusatory finger at you. โYou refuse to talk to anyone when actually studying. Almost as boring as Moony over there when heโs reading.โ
Remus lowered his book to send a glare toward James. โHey!โ he sneered.
โWhat Prongs means,โ said Marlene, โis that you were doing more than just studying. Especially considering you supposedly despise Regulus.โ
You shrugged with defeat, dragging a hand over your face. You knew they could go on forever if you didnโt stop them, and you were in no mood to be stuck here all night. So, you finally exclaimed, โOkay, fine! I was helping him study. Happy?โ
โMy brother needed help?โ asked Sirius, suspicion lacing his words.
โYes,โ you bit out. โI donโt think I understand what your point is.โ
Siriusโ head tilted while Peterโs smile faded a little. Mary turned in her seat, an eyebrow cocked. โWhat our point is, my dear,โ said Mary, โis that you actually chose to help the mini Black.โ
โActually more like helping myself,โ you muttered. At their glares you rolled your eyes. โSo?โ
โSo?โ answered Marlene. โYou donโt find that even a tiny bit suspicious?โ
โWhat?โ you frowned, honestly having no clue as to what she was implying but still dreading the answer. โWhat are you talking about?โ
โIโm talking about your crush.โ
You choked on air upon hearing her words, with every eye turned towards you. Sirius looked at you incredulously, his leg bouncing and a sour expression on his face. The rest of them seemed a lot more amused. Marlene sat on the floor and leant against Maryโs leg, chuckling lightly. Lily smiled, but chose to ignore their comments.
โHeโs my brother,โ sneered Sirius.
โAnd a Slytherin,โ added Peter, as if it were any worse than Siriusโ statement. Maybe it was, but you chose to ignore it.
โFrankly, itโs quite obvious,โ said Mary.
Remus fully put down his book, closing it against his thigh. He almost looked disappointed. โMaryโs right.โ
You glared at him. โEt tu, Brutus?โ He rolled his eyes and resumed reading his book.
โWe all know how youโve been in rivalry with the lad since the beginning of times,โ said Marlene with a pointed glance.
โI like to do well in school, so what? That doesnโt mean I fancy him.โ
โFine,โ countered James, through gritted teeth. It seemed as if they were all just teaming up to attack you. โIโve been talking about Quidditch for years, but you only got interested in joining the Gryffindor Quidditch team after Regulus became a seeker on the Slytherin one.โ
You winced, because that was a difficult thing to explain away. Frankly, even you were unsure as to what made you suddenly interested in Quidditch. All you knew was that suddenly you had noticed a player with a mop of black curls and got the urge to join the game. You could only counter with a meagre explanation, โI became possessed by the House spirit, is all?โ
Marlene raised a sceptical eyebrow. โOr, hear me out, you wanted another excuse to be in rivalry with Regulus.โ
โHeโs a competitive arse, why would I want another excuse to be around him?โ
โYou jump at every chance to prank or annoy him,โ said Peter, way too gleeful for his own good. You vowed to get back at him and the others some day, some way.
You cocked your head in Siriusโ direction. โIโm only doing the decent thing and helping Sirius get back at his git of a brother.โ
Mary turned to Lily, her head tilted and face twisted in mock confusion. โWhatโs what they say about when a boy is mean to someone?โ
โThat he fancies them,โ said Lily with a broad smile.
โSo suddenly you guys fancy Snivellus?โ
You were glaring at her, but the question was directed toward the entire group. Remus remained impassive, as if he hadnโt heard the comment, but the rest of them couldnโt help but bark out a laugh and grimace at the thought. You smiled at their discomfort. Serves the bastards right.
Mary was the first to compose herself, levelling you with a stare. โStop avoiding the subject.โ
โIโm not avoiding anything,โ you exclaimed, throwing your hands out in the air. โYouโre the ones making up stuff that arenโt there!โ
โNormally when my brother is brought up youโll sneer,โ Sirius muttered. You glared at him, anger radiating off your person. You didnโt even bother retorting, but only rolled your eyes. Dramatic bastard, you thought. Just like his brother.
โWhatever you say,โ James chimed in, snickering behind his covered mouth, while sending glances at Peter.
You sighed, standing from your seat and taking hold of your bag. Remus looked up with a raised eyebrow. โNow, if you would excuse me, I have other stuff going on than to sit here with accusations thrown at me.โ
โWhat other stuff?โ chirped Marlene.
โHomework.โ
โWhat?โ asked Mary, far from genuine in her question. โYou didnโt finish it all with Regulus today?โ
โNo,โ you bit out, striding towards the stairs to the dormitories with their laughter echoing behind you.
You loved your friends, but they could be real arses sometimes. Maybe it was a good thing you were going to spend some time with other people for a change. You threw your bag to your bed as soon as you entered your dorm, shutting the door after you. Your dormitory was shared with three other guys, who where currently not present, and laid just beside the other Maraudersโ. It gave you enough privacy and time away from them, while still being close enough when needed for pranks. It also allowed you to hear the occasional laugh and shouts through the walls.
You changed from your uniform, pulling on a pair of black trousers and a loose shirt over your torso. It wasnโt a fancy outfit by any means, but it was an almost perfect blend between party and casual, and it complimented your figure. You hastily put on some black kohl on the waterline of your eyes, blinking against the contrast. Remus called it guyliner, but you and Sirius liked to refer to it as gayliner. With one last look at yourself, you were satisfied and flashed a grin to your reflection, before rushing down the stairs again.
The rest of the group were still there, deep in their discussions. Something made you suspect they were still talking about your class with Regulus, but you tuned them out with a shake of your head. The idiots could amuse themselves however they wished, as would you. Silently and quickly, you made your way to the painting at the entrance, swinging it open and climbing out. None of them seemed to notice you, too busy in their conversation.
I found these hilarious, so you guys get them too:
Modern AU Shenanigans, Regulus coming out as trans to his boyfriend (my OC Alex):
Or, Alex being a good boyfriend whilst Regulus panics.
CW: Trans male anatomy being referred to by female anatomical names. (Although Alex only ever calls Regulus' chest his "pecs" or "mantits")
Alex: why are you holding your chest? Do u have an arc reactor up there?
Reg: ๐ง
Alex: yeah ur right I'm most likely to be iron man out of the two of us
Alex when Regulus makes him touch his chest without his binder as his way of telling him: oh my God I thought you couldn't get sexier. Not that I'm fetishising, because that's wrong and awful, but wow.
Regulus: -_-
Regulus: you don't think I'm disgusting?
Alex: youre asking a bisexual to be disgusted by boobs on a male. I think you're the one that should be disgusted
you know what? yes, I care about your marauders era oc(s). yes, I want to hear about them. yes, I want to know their lore, see the art youโve made about them, which songs you associate with them, and who you ship them with.
ENTP personality type, as shown through Nick Wilde (they have the same humour and wit, in fact, the fox would most likely be her animagus if she had one). Iron Man represents her facade of arrogance with selflessness behind it, Flynn Rider represents her charm and charisma as does Lando Calrissian. Nikolai Llantsov represents her need for freedom and Alex Clairemont Diaz represents her show of entitlement that she used to shield her self doubt.
Born on the 20th of March to Saahil and Falak Chandawala; when they moved to England the registry office couldn't pronounce her father's surname so they had her mother's name written down.
Her mother is half Indian, half Columbian, and her father is Indian-Burmese.
Her gender is nonexistent tbh, she uses she/her pronouns but she doesn't really care much to correct people who assume she's a guy just because of the way she dresses. If you slur at her, though, she'll fight you. She's lesbian and genderfluid.
She's 5'11 (no, shes not six foot no matter what she says) and wears cowboy platform boots that make her look taller. She has wide shoulders and often wears clothes that make her look flat-chested, which is why people often question her gender (she doesn't care ๐).
She has a round nose and slim, large, brown eyes. Her lips are full and she has a permanent scar across her eyebrow from banging her head against a table by accident as a child.
Her hair is dark, jaw length and straight, and she has seven piercings in one ear and four in the other.
She has a glove of rose and thorny branch tattoos along her left forearm, with a steel thread picker on her upper arm. Her right arm is covered in a winding dragon like pattern, gothic scissors on her neck, dragon wings on her lower back extending around her hips and "TPWK" (treat people with kindness) across her knuckles. Image is below:
She's actually a muggle, but her mother is a squib. She can also see through wizarding illusions, meaning she can see the magic instead of whatever they want her to see.
Her mother's family have some sort of curse on their line that means most children born to them with magical blood are squibs. Her mother's nephew however, is a wizard, his name is Julius and his intro post is here (coming soon).
Marlene taught her how to play Quidditch and she absolutely loved it. She was best at the Beater and Keeper roles.
Her boggart would be
She has no fixed patronus since she has no wand, but when she once had to defend herself and used Sirius' wand, it produced a shark.
She was bitten by a baby werewolf on the heel of her hand, and later got the mark tattood. Her lycanthropy symptoms worsened over time as the werewolf she was bit by was not yet fully developed. She later befriended and borderline adopted said werewolf baby.
She was closer to her grandparents than her parents, but she still had a good relationship with them.
She has a brother almost year younger than her called Riaan. They're very close as they're in the same academic year in school. People often mistake rthem for twins.
She has two brothers four years younger than her, twins called Eraj and Ayan.
She has a sister twenty years younger than her, Arisha, Mary was her nursery teacher and that's how Mary and Jacky met.
Lily Evans: They don't live too far from each other and used to go to gymnastics together as kids. Lily moved on in class, Jacky didn't; she switched to martial arts.
Frank Longbottom: They did engineering college together.
Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Marlene McKinnon, Dorcas Meadowes, Alice Fortescue: introduced to her by Mary.
1. Margaret (Meg) Darlene Jeevan: she looks like a perfect blend of Mary and Jacky. She has Mary's eyes and Jacky's nose. Her middle name is an homage to Marlene and Dorcas, Mary's closest friends after Hogwarts.
2. Robin (Bobby) Mayank Jeevan. His middle name is an ode to the moon.
In most canon compliant AUs, she becomes a mechanic, developing her skills to become a plane engineer.
She also advocates for Remus' political werewolf rights movement.
She helped Sirius destroy one of the Horcruxes by killing a basilisk. This is how she developed her affinity for magical beasts.
She died at 94 in Mary's arms, poisoned by the child of the basilisk she killed.

ENFP personality type, though his personality traits can also be seen in characters that i see representing him: for example, Clark Kent represents his saviour complex and unwaveringly strong sense of justice, Jesper represents his internal struggles as an ADHDer, Han Solo represents sarcasm and charming wit, Aladdin represents his generosity and charisma, Dick Grayson represents his goodwill and efforts towards equity and peace, and Peter Parker represents his heroism and humor.
Born 9th March 1960 to Yazaan and Rosabelle Belmonte; his mother is the sister of Euphemia Potter.
His mother is Hispanic and his father Yemeni. His mother was on a trip in Yemen with her family when she met Yazaan, they were children.
Male, he/him, walking bisexual disaster. Demisexual too, and his gender is practically handmade.
6'1, he's broad shouldered and has a very straight torso, he used to be insecure about his weight until he grew into it when he was about fifteen and the chubbiness became muscle when he and James became gym buddies.
He has almond shaped eyes, one is a hazel-brown and the other is just slightly lighter than that. His lips are round and he has a button nose.
He has a mole under his right eye in the far corner hidden within his light freckles, and a mole on his left shoulder. He also has freckles all over his back, but they become less easy to see once he gets his tattoos.
He had an incident with a plastic knife as a child that left him with a scar across his nose ๐.
Below are images of his tattoos:
The one with the yellow background also features the very first drawing of his tattoos that i completed, which i redid (right) almost a year later.
He is a pureblood, but later his family pronounce their hatred for blood purity.
In Hogwarts, he was sorted into Gryffindor, though the hat did consider Hufflepuff until he got excited about the floating candles and wondered if they could actually set the ceiling banners alight. He became a beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team along with Sirius and they work splendidly together when they're not trying to see who can knock the other out first.
Injustice is the bane of his existence, so his boggart would be any of his friends with a Dark Mark.
His Patronus varies depending on the memory used to produce it, and he casts patronuses often due to his work as an Auror. The first time he learnt the charm, the memory he used was in relation to pranking people with the marauders, so it took a lion form to represent his animagus form. The second time was just after Remus and Sirius married, so it took a wolf form. The third was after Harry's birth, so it took a stag. the fourth was when Sirius was on the run from Dumbledore so it took a black dog form. The fifth incident was apon Peter's arrest, and it took on a rat. For other instances it mainly takes on the form of a Crow, just like Regulus' patronus takes on a Lion form, symbolising that the two of them protect eachother in any circumstance.
His wand is made of dark brown polished English Oak wood, 14.75 inches long with a Dragon Heartstring core. It's Surpringly Swishy and Alex often tucks it in his pockets or sometimes sticks it in his hair.
He has a good relationship with both of his parents, even though sometimes he struggles to live up to his fathers expectations. He is a carbon copy of his mother and thus gets along with her really well.
He has four sisters; Talia, Ania, Calliope and Chleo (his mother is a greek mythology nerd). All three of them rely on him almost as much as they rely on his parents. Talia is exactly the opposite of him, so they get along well, whilst Ania gets along with him because they're similar. Calliope is very much his baby because he remembers every stage of her growth, and the same for Chleo, even though Chleo is more reserved and skeptical.
His maternal cousin, James Potter, though they live rather far from eachother, is attached to his hip. At family gatherings, you never saw one without the other.
James Potter: Knew eachother as babies, and stayed best friends right up until death.
Mary McDonald: Went to primary school with him and they went to the same ice skating school.
Marlene McKinnon: They went to kickboxing together.
Barty Crouch Junior, Dorcas Meadowes, Pandora and Evan Rosier: They met at pureblood galas as kids, Barty was also his first serious boyfriend at Hogwarts, even though the relationship lasted less than a year.
Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans, Alice Fortesque etc: became friends at Hogwarts. Alex shared a dorm with James, Sirius, Remus and Peter.
HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH REGULUS BLACK:
The love of his life, his husband in every universe. When they marry, in most AUs, they combine their surnames to form Blackmonte (Regulus is too snooty to let the line die and Alex is too proud of his family to let his surname go). Ship dynamic charts are below (click for zoom):
They are an ENFP x INTJ dynamic, so they're very much black cat x orange cat.
Their meeting differs between AUs (Pinterest board here), but for the Heirloom AU , their rivalry began when Regulus stole a cupcake from Alex. Throughout the Heirloom AU fic, their dynamic fluctuates between grudging admiration and irritation towards eachother. The fic, whilst a missing object mystery fic, also helps them uncover their own feelings for eachother and accept them, to learn to ally with eachother and even love eachother.
Other AUs feature different dynamics, but a post about that explains it all.
He and Reg have four children in most AUs, three of whom look exactly like Alex. Despite Regulus asking Alex again and again for an entire quidditch team of babies, there is only one AU where they have more than four kids (11).
1. Adhara Casseiopia Blackmonte: She looks exactly like Alex and acts like him too. Gryffindor sorted (Alex cheered) and she causes almost as much trouble at school as her father once did. Regulus calls her "Cassie", and Alex calls her "Addie".
2. Aezah Meriah Blackmonte: When she was born, she looked exactly like Alex, but her hair later lightened up, which confused everyone who didn't know Regulus was a natural blonde. She was sorted into Slytherin due to her personality being a carbon copy of Regulus'.
3. Alphard Lupus Blackmonte: Regulus calls him "Ali Jr" because he again, looks exactly like Alex. He acts more like Sirius in personality though, but was sorted into Ravenclaw. He has the same face as Alex, but his eyes are slightly greyer like Regulus' grey-blue eyes and he has less melanin than his sisters.
4. Apollo Estell Blackmonte: The only baby of theirs that actually looks like Regulus (Regulus jokes that the 'printer ran out of ink lmfao'). He was sorted into Hufflepuff.
In most canon compliant AUs, Alex becomes an Auror. He vouches for Sirius in court and manages to get him put on probation until Peter is captured and arrested. Sirius then takes Harry before Dumbledore can, and he and Remus raise Harry away from the Wizarding World.
Alex also kills Walburga; when Alex's family announce their hatred for purism, Walburga considers Regulus and Adhara (who was a year old at the time) tainted, and thus tries to "remove Adhara from her bloodline". Alex lashes out and hurls a 'flipendo' charm at her; she goes flying and her back hits the wall.
In one AU, Voldemort captures Regulus after the cave and takes him hostage, making everyone believe that Regulus is dead, and so Alex helps Harry track down and destroy all of the remaining horcruxes based on a journal Regulus left behind that Alex had been too broken to look at until Harry asked for it. In most of my other canon compliant AUs, Regulus, Alex, Sirius, Remus, Dorcas and Marlene form a force to track down the remaining horcruxes and destroy them to defeat Voldemort once and for all, preventing his rise.
He died at the age of 103, and Regulus at 100; they died in eachothers arms after falling asleep one day and not waking up after that.
