jegulus singing competition!au???
so.. me and my friend had a conversation recently, where we discussed what songs would the marauders sing at a singing competition at school or just like a normal public singing competition.
she was the one that brought it up and chose songs, like she had "the funeral" from yungblud for barty, "ocean" by elsa & emilie for pandora (bc that is just how we both imagine pandora's voice sounds), "the man" by taylor swift for lily (bc she would be a swifty, you can't tell us otherwise), "angry woman" by ashe for dorcas, etc. you get the point.
then she got stuck on regulus, because he's quite a pickle to decide. like, this is a public setting and regulus does not feel like someone who would choose a song that would expose some part of him. also it's supposed to be kind of like a "happy au"?? but either way if regulus isn't a miserable little shit it's not really regulus. and he would want to be mysterious and fulfil his sad boi agenda right?
so i come barging in with "je te laisserai des mots" by patrick watson. and like.. it makes SO much sense? because he's a bilingual bitch and a master of instruments AND a genius. i strongly believe he knows how to play both the piano and violin but prefers the violin because the piano was always sirius's thing? so if we're talking magical!au he would charm the violin (because it would be hard to sing while playing it) and would play the piano and sing this song. i can definitely hear him singing it.
this song allows him to keep his mysterious sad boi attitude because he knows nobody understands him apart from sirius. and sirius wouldn't go around telling people what the song is about; even if he did, regulus would call bull. but if you google what the lyrics mean the whole song feels very regulus. just the fact that it's called "i will leave you words/notes"??? which in canon, that's literally all he leaves behind when he goes to die in the cave? it's a great canon reference, if you ask me...
i'm just in love with the idea of this being presented to everyone, there's a sombre mood, everyone is touched because "wow... i never knew regulus could sing like that. that was beautiful..."
and then james comes on stage after him with the fucking pina colada song? just screaming "IF YOU LIKE MAKING LOVE AT MIDNIGHT!" right after? making a fool of himself to make others laugh and they eventually join him? bc he's not taking this seriously ofc, he just wants to enjoy the competition with his friends for fun? and that's where regulus instantly falls in love? but ofc he's regulus and denies it to himself for a long time. i just need someone like zeppazariel to write this? pretty please?
and when he's finished fooling around james tells regulus that he loved his song/performance and asks him for HIS opinion on the song james presented. and regulus just deadpans "well, you certainly lack half a brain if you thought that was a good song choice.." as a reference to the pina colada song bc the lyrics go "if you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain".
and james laughs because ofc he does? what else is he supposed to do when regulus black is standing there being mean to him and looking agonizingly pretty? his heart skips a beat without him even realizing it?
