James shifted slightly when he felt an arm wrap around him and an extra weight press against his back. “What're you doing?” James’ voice was slightly muffled, his face half buried into his pillow. A hum answered his words as Keith moved against him. “Getting comfortable.” James only hummed at the words, exhaustion weighing his brain down. James melted into the mixed warmth of his bed and Keith. Exhaustion guiding him into a blissful sleep.

Only to be disturbed when James felt Keith move slightly once more. “Stop moving.” Keith only let out a quiet apology that James barely comprehended. Keith finally settled behind him, allowing James to slowly fall back asleep. James let out a small hum when he felt a set of lips press against the spot between his ear and hairline. “Sleep well.”

__________________________

When James woke up, he was on his stomach with Keith crushing him slightly. James shifted slightly, stretching his arms out a bit. “Good morning.” James hummed as Keith moved against him. James turned his head so his face wasn't buried in his pillow. He could see a part of Keith's hair out of the corner of his eye. “Bien journée.” James’ words came out barely audible. Keith only hummed, his lips brushing against James’ shoulder.

James moved onto his back when Keith got off of him slightly. Once James was settled, Keith immediately moved to lay with his head on James’ chest. James brought a hand to Keith's longish hair, fingers brushing it out slightly. James hummed when he felt Keith's thumb trace over a hidden scar on his chest. Scars that James was proud of, something James didn't know was possible. “Today is our day off.” James yawned at the words. He didn't believe the words but stayed silent.

While James wanted to stay on schedule, he didn't mind being given a free day off. He closed his eyes as Keith moved against him. James smiled a bit when he felt lips press against the side of his neck. “Going back to bed already?” James hummed at the question, his hand messing with Keith's hair. Keith only smiled against James’ neck. “We could spend the day together instead of you spending the day sleeping?” James hummed again, moving to press his lips against the top of Keith's head. Keith hummed at the action, his teeth grazing the side of James’ neck.

“Maybe later, I'm tired.” Keith hummed again, moving so his forehead was pressed against James’ cheek. James only leaned into the touch, pressing his cheek against it. Keith tangled their legs together, pulling James close as his wing acted as another blanket. “Ok, sleep well.” James only shifted slightly as exhaustion took over. Barely hearing the next thing Keith said.

“I love you.”

Filippa deserves a raise

Look, I love James more than life itself. I would die and/or kill for the man. But Pip being able to put up with his lack of a filter for months following the murder is on a whole other level. She is the only one with the patience and level-headedness to keep the idiot from outing himself.

“’Is it just me,’ Alexander said, ‘or is this the longest day of everyone else’s life?’

‘Well,’ James said. ‘Certainly not Richard’s.’

Alexander gaped at him, eyes wide and glaring.

‘James,’ Meredith said. ‘What the fuck.’

Filippa breathed out in a hiss, rubbing her forehead. ‘We’re not doing this’.”

- If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio (ACT III, Scene 3)

(Can I just ask, by the way, what the actual fuck was he trying to do here? Look, I have my own theories but most of them just fall back to, “James, you utter dumbass”)

And the one time Pip leaves him alone for more than an hour, he gets drunk and unintentionally spills his secrets to the woman most likely to rat him out.

(”You don’t think Wren would have ratted him out???” You think Wren has the mental willpower to go to the cops? She’d go to Filippa first, if anything, and Pip would just say she was overreacting. And she’d believe her. Then Pip would kick James’ ass over it)

I seriously hope James treated her to some fancy ass dinner at least once for the weight she had to help him carry during those months.

was referring back to chapter 19 to see how regulus talks about physical affection for Reasons, forgot i wrote this line after evan insists on palmistry practice:

Which is not something most people would do. Not because Regulus has made any special effort to that end; he's just not the sort of person one touches.

HELP THAT'S SO DEPRESSING??? NO ONE DARES TO GIVE HIM A HUG AND HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO MAKE IT BE THAT WAY, HE'S JUST ACCEPTED THAT IT'S THIS INNATE THING ABOUT HIM THAT PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO BE NEAR HIM.

Out of curiosity, how do you imagine the Blacks’ appearance? Literally all I can think of is black hair and silver eyes (not gray, but true silver. If they’re magical, I’m giving everyone non-human aspects; their eyes legit glow at times, when excited or doing particularly complex magic. Sirius summons a Patronus and his eyes are the same color as the spell). But anyways, how do you imagine them? It recently came to my attention that other people actually imagine characters when reading and kind of see it like a movie in their head, so I’m curious how you see them

Anon hayati thank you for asking the Important Questions

I think the main reason I don't vibe with the popular fcs for them is because facial hair is a big thing for me in men, I can't imagine any of them without it.

I think Sirius would be the most like.. conventionally attractive of them all, in a very masculine but elegant way. Royal beauty, like a prince. He would have softer features when he was young, but then starting 15+ I imagine more facial hair, a sharp jawline, darker tanned skin, silky hair..

Something like this (younger -> older)

Regulus would have the same "elegant masculinity" type of attractiveness, but his features are a little softer:

And since we're talking about the Blacks, Walburga is Eva Green from Penny Dreadful, that image is inseparable in my head:

And you did not ask about James, but James is actually OOTB (One Of The Blacks) and also he's the hottest in my head (although I might be biased) so here you go (just add the glasses in your head):
