#endgame jegulus

[heaven4lostgirls]

don’t mind me, just sobbing to “would you fall in love with me again” while thinking of jegulus

james telling reg, “i would fall in love with you, over and over again. i don’t care how, where or when. no matter how long it’s been, you’re mine. don’t tell me you’re not the same person. you’re always my husband, and i’ve been waiting”

and reg just sobs (like me) because he has never felt such an all encompassing love (like me)

The Bonds of Friendship

Join James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter in their third year at Hogwarts! Told from James' POV, we see the boys become the Marauders with the creation of the Marauder's Map, begin preparing for their attempt to become animagi, puzzle over the mysterious series of attacks on young muggle-borns, and generally get up mild (and not so mild in Sirius' case) mischief.

Epic quidditch matches will be played.

A few furry animals may meet their demise.

Remus endures countless moons.

Not to mention the prospect of dating, kissing, and a new third year sex ed course.

More than one enchanted mirror makes an appearance.

As well as a boggart.

Oh, and did I mention a particular cloak of invisibility?!?!

Hogwarts and the Marauders at their finest... Please join me in journeying home. RIGHT NOW.

Because this work is posted to completion on AO3!!!

James Potter hated himself. He hated himself because of how he felt about his best fucking friend.

See, behind in love was a little bit funny. You want to be around that person all the time. You could never get sick of them. Your heart hurts when they’re hurt and all you want to do is hug and kiss them.

You imagine yourself in another universe with them. One where you’re together, because there’s one out there like that. You think about everything you could’ve done differently to make them like you more. How you could become more attractive in the eyes of them.

Sirius Black was flawless. He was smart. He was tall. He was strong and sharp and he looked like a Greek God. James wanted nothing else except him.

He could imagine a thousand lifetimes they could’ve had and yet there wasn’t anything in this one. He wanted it. He yearned for it.

James and Sirius were loose with each other. They always had their arms around each other, always saying they loved each other, giving each other numerous compliments. There was a difference though. James was in love, and Sirius wasn’t.

Well Sirius was in love. Just not with him. Sirius was in love with a nice lady named Mary.

James liked Mary, but God was he jealous of her. He hears Sirius talk about Mary, saying things about ‘She’s so funny, so smart. She’s gorgeous too. She cares, you know?’

And all James can think is, ‘Holy fuck. What about me?’ And his heart clenched every single time he had to hear him talk about Mary.

“Isn’t she lovely?” Sirius asked James as they sat in class looking at Mary.

“Yeah sure Pads.” James said, his stomach dropping.

“Look at her hair! It seems so soft,” Sirius thought aloud.

James immediately reached his hand up to feel his own hair. His hair was soft too.

“You haven’t ever told me about any birds. Besides Lily in first year,” Sirius prompted suspiciously. “Are you…you know.”

“Queer?” James snapped. “Yeah I am.”

Sirius put his hands up. “Just wondering, man. Let me know when you find a guy…unless you already have..?”

James didn’t answer right away and Sirius gasped. “You do! Who? Is it Remus? Pete?”

“God, just leave me be!” James hissed, pushing himself away from the table, walking out of the class. He walked himself into the bathrooms. He sat on the floor, and cried.

Sirius walked in a few minutes later. “Prongs? What’s going on?”

“I’m in love with you.” James told him sadly.

“What?”

“I’m in love with you.”

“James…I’m not…” Sirius said remorsefully.

“Yeah. I know.” James said, his voice rough and cracking. He put his head on the bathroom tiles as he heard Sirius leave.

Over the next few weeks, people became confused. Had there been a fight between Sirius and James? Why was James actively avoiding Sirius? What had Sirius done?

Sirius had kept trying to talk to James, to sit by him, anything, but James couldn’t deal with it. He couldn’t. Knowing that he was going to treat him differently.

“What?” James finally snapped as Sirius followed him in the halls.

Sirius flinched, and James instantly felt bad. “I just- I don’t want to lose you James.” Sirius said.

“You already have, I think.” James said as his heart plummeted. He knew it broke when it hit the floor.

“But James- I can’t- I can’t lose you!” Sirius cried, his voice rough.

James shook his head sadly. “I’m sorry, Sirius. But I can’t do it. I can’t.”

Sirius let out a sob. “James-“

And James made himself walk away.

Later on, Sirius and Remus started dating and James didn’t eat for a week. He wanted to hear about the other universes. He wanted Sirius to know how much he’d hurt him, just by not loving him the way he needed. The way that he loved him, but not like that.

James married Regulus Black when he was 25 years old. He loved Regulus, he did. Just not the way he once loved his older brother. Part of him always felt bad about it.

[person-behind-books]

au where just after a 16 year old sirius runs away over yule (christmas) break & gets disinherited orion and walburga die and 15 year old regulus becomes lord black over night. officialy, they died in an undisclosed accident. unofficialy, they tried to apperate drunk and spliced themselves. in actuality, regulus killed them when he learnt they were planning to ruin the potters - not to get sirius back but to make it no one would ever want him. andromeda has been disenherited and bellatrix already married rodolphus. only him and narcissa are left and she's six years older and will be married before the next regulus is young and lonely. so decides to get himself his own fiance, too proud to admit he wants sirius back after he left him. dorcas, who is a lesbian and shagging marlene mckinnon and a year older than him, is the perfect option. she's one of his best friends and her family had been getting a bit agitated lately. it was common for purebloods to be getting betrothed at sixteen so the line would be sure to stay pure and dorcas, despite nearing seventeen had declined every proposal. she agrees despite not knowing his motives because she knows regulus.

marlene who is from a more progressive pureblood family in so far that they are for muggle born rights and allow her dalliances with women, still expect her to marry a proper pureblood man. her choice would have been sirius because he had no interest in marrying a women - too in love with remus -, but then he got disinherited and now her parent refure to hear of it. so instead she turns to james. peter and remus too half-blood. despite beter being good enough for her parents to be her childhood friend. james, who had always dreamed of marrying for love and would have been allowed to marry even a muggle born but would do anything for his friends agrees.

The Heart of the Lion is fully posted!

DONE. BOOM.

Word count came in right at 160K, as predicted yesterday. 35 chapters. Phew. I kid you not, I'm stoked and I'm also about to start editing the next work. Like right now. No rest for the weary.

Summary:

Regulus Black is an island, a tightly sealed fortress standing against the rest of the world. Unusually powerful in both magic and his capacity to love, Regulus lets nothing rattle his cool veneer. Nothing except a bespectacled Gryffindor who happens to be his brother’s best friend. As the year progresses, darkness gathers; but in Regulus’ life, Darkness and darkness are not the same. Amidst pressure to make choices he is nowhere near ready to make, Regulus starts down the only path he sees for himself. Always in the back of his mind lives his love for Sirius—it is for him Regulus will do anything. He will plunge himself into the sea of darkness and fight to keep from drowning. No matter how deep he goes, Regulus knows he will always rise to seek the sun. Is it too much to dream that he will not do so alone?

The Light, the Dark. Their obsession, their love. His burden, his choice. Another look behind the tightly sealed doors of Slytherin house, this is the fourth installment in the Our Love is Written in the Stars series. It takes place in the 1974-1975 school year. Most of the characters are fourteen and turn fifteen. Regulus is thirteen and turns fourteen.

“If you go under,” James said with wide eyes, grabbing Regulus’ hands, “I’m going under too. And we will come up together—to find the sun. The sun always rises, so will we.” - THOTL Ch XXX

Literally trying to make this as easy as possible for people to join the series. I'm about to go add a reading time to each of these summaries. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED by the fact this is the fourth installment! The summaries are there for a reason, and things are only getting more shippy and angsty from here. ;-)

Find the summaries here.
