A/N: I just wrote that, like not even five minutes ago, which feels weird 'cause I never finish my writing. maybe it's a sign that I'll finally finish my biggest and longer fics? who knows, deffo not me. anyway, enjoy this angsty piece of garbage!
When James first kissed him, he thought that sparks had started to fly, his stomach doing flips and his heart skipping a beat.
He felt the warmth of James in his touch, in his embrace, in his lips.
He wanted to drown in the other’s affection. Wanted to stay where they were forever. Maybe even run away with him, far away from the blooming war and their responsibilities.
He just wanted.
The second and third times he kissed him, it was more experienced, more reassuring. But the warmth was still there as if it would never leave. And he didn't want it to. He wanted it all for himself, just like the selfish person that he is.
His dream of running away still lingered in his heart, but now he knew that it was just that, a dream.
But James's warmth will always make him want to dream. Even when he is in this cold and haunted cave, with a mission. With a death wish. He had told no one of his plans, only left a letter to give to his friends when the war was over.
The last thing he could think of in the frigid cold water, as the inferi took him to the depth of the cave, was James's warmth. And his brilliant smiles. And that he will never see him again.
But what never occurred to him was that the war would continue for two more years, ending only after James and Lily Potter's deaths. That James had died thinking that he had lost two of the loves of his life, with one of which he never had the chance to ask for forgiveness.
Give me ideas to fill the plot holes.
Remus has a secret: he's a ghostwriter, and he writes about the dirt he finds on the rich and wealthy, and he started in school after his mom passed, leaving him with his father's debt, and his dad left after Greyback's attack on Remus, where he killed Greyback, a member of a local gang.
Remus is rich as a 25-year-old who lives like he's poor to not draw attention and doesn't even tell his friends his secret.
Alphard Black's will stipulates that Fleamont and Euphemia Potter are to manage the inheritance for Sirius, ensuring he is financially secure. However, when the Potters fall ill, Remus Lupin is appointed as the new trustee due to James Potter's struggles with borderline personality disorder.
Remus and Sirius are not the closest in their friend group, but when Remus gets put in charge of Sirius's money, they end up becoming roommates, and Remus has to try to keep Sirius in control.
While Sirius is battling with his mental health, the Black family is trying to find the money they lost track of when Fleamont and Euphemia died so they can try to get it back.
This will be a Wolfstar-centered fic with a side of James/Regulus/Lily and others… Give me your thoughts and ideas on how to fill the plot. I need some reasons for arguments. Between Sirius and Remus, Sirius and James, and Sirius and others, he is going through it, and his friends are sick of his shit. James Sirius and Remus POV Also help me with giving James a realistic BPD experience and give me thought on what Sirius has. Oh, and fair warning, Remus is a bit of an asshole; he judges everyone. Also just your thoughts and ideas, like what you think the jobs of Sirius and James are, things like that.
Hoe no, they're coming to get us
Marlene, is this you?🧐 Good on you, I guess😅
I'm broke. It's beyond my means.
Hey, so I figured I wouldn't keep this from the writer community. I found this website on Pinterest. It doesn't go to Pinterest, but I was scrolling through my Pinterest, and I was looking at it; it looked interesting, so I went to the website. And I'm starting to write With the website, oh my gosh, I've never felt more productive when writing. It's got a spell checker. It has a calendar goal kind of thing. It's got a note section. It's got so many organization options; it's awesome. 👌 And it's completely free.
Give me some credit here😤
This is my kind of energy.😌
Must Read Jegulus
I just read this, and I'm not even going to lie, it was giving me emotions.
I'm not like big on the ship right now because I'm like hyper fixating on another one, but for some reason I just had to read this; it was like I saw it and I couldn't help myself, so here's a little taste.
I CRAVE fic recommendations now.
I like
need a James Potter-centric fanfic with a strong plot. Right now it doesn't have to be long; it doesn't have to be super romantic or anything. I don't even care if he's in love with Lily or Regulus. Okay, just give me a James Potter fic. I want something where like the group thinks they know him but they don't. like either he's super sad or he's super badass, or maybe he just does something that seems totally batshit nuts or super sad. I don't care, just I need to fix.
I want this 👉👈

james' reggie
Regulus Arcturus Black wasn't always Regulus. Just last term, he was Rosalia Orion Black. But he was always James' Reggie.
Tonight was just the same as all the other nights he's spent with James these past few months. He would excuse himself from dinner in The Great Hall to go meet his boyfriend who's just finished Quidditch practice.
Boyfriend.
He's never used that word before.
James was definitely Regulus' boyfriend, but he wasn't too sure that he was James'.
He's told everybody but James. He's tried showing him. James was the first person he showed his new haircut to. The first person he told about his new name was Sirius, but he told James not too long after that. But he never actually asked James if he's his boyfriend. Frankly he doesn't want to either.
"You'll have to tell him sooner or later!" Pandora had said earlier. She's the only person that knows about him and James.
"I choose later," Regulus said, "I'm sure he knows anyways."
He wasn't sure. But Dora doesn't have to know that, does she? James is James. Even if he knew, he wouldn't treat Regulus any differently anyways.
"Tell him... later tonight, then? I just don't want you getting hurt, Reg."
This, Regulus sure of. If there was one true friend in the world whom he can trust, it would be Pandora. He doesn't want to make her worry too much. "I'll try" Regulus had replied with a soft smile, hoping that that was enough. He hates lying to Dora, but James was waiting. And if anything was going to end that conversation, it was him agreeing with her.
Now Regulus was on top of the Astronomy Tower, using the telescope that was placed near the window to look at the constellations above the roof. It always reminded him of home, without too many painful memories.
He hadn't realized the footsteps that were slowly coming closer to him until he felt a peck on his forehead.
"Hey, beautiful," James grinned.
Merlin, this boy. Reg felt his knees go weak. This always seems to happen whenever James is around. He didn't say anything. He didn't even take his face off of the telescope. James would just know that he's listening.
James began talking about his day, while Regulus slowly stepped back from the telescope to look at his boyfriend's face. How his eyes are almost black with just a hint of brown when the sun hits it just right. How his summer freckles disappear during the winter. How his glasses are always crooked and his hair is always messy, no matter how much hair gel he puts on. How he's still sweating after Quidditch and still Regulus would kill to hug him, knowing that all he had to do was ask. After all, that's what boyfriends do right? They cuddle together, cry together, occasionally do it, and they love each other during it all, right?
Reg had thought of what Pandora said during dinner. Tonight. He hated the thought of interrupting this seemingly perfect night to say that. Still he knew that if he didn't tell him tonight, he'll never tell James. He had to do it now.
"You should've seen Sirius then. He was shaking in his boots knowing that the chocolate he ate was Moony's, he couldn't even-"
"Love, can I ask you a question?" Reg hasn't said a word before. He's interrupted James before, sure, but that was to laugh at one of his stupid jokes or kiss him to erase that stupid grin off his face, stupid.
"Yeah, sorry I've been talking too much, again, haven't I?" James had sunken in his seat, his hand reaching up to scratch the back of his hair.
"No, no! Not at all." Reg doesn't want James to think that. Honestly, he'd be glad if James just interrupted him and started to continue talking about his day. But it seems that Regulus has caught James' attention. "It's just that, you remember how I cut my hair short? And... and that I'm not Rosalia anymore, just Regulus. You've also probably noticed that Dora and the others don't refer to me by 'she' anymore."
Surely, James had noticed. Surely, he knew.
"Mhm, Regulus fits you so much better actually."
"Yeah, thanks, well, I was wondering if you knew that, you know." He can't say it. The words just won't come out. James tilted his head to one side. "What is it, jaanu?" He looks like a lost puppy.
"I'm a boy. Maybe I wasn't technically one before but I am now." There it is. What's James going to say? He's James, Regulus told himself. He'll do what James does best. He'll be there for you.
"Oh." Oh? What does that mean?
James straightened his back. He lowered his eyes and started fidgeting with his fingers, picking the skin off of his thumb.
Regulus knew this was going to happen. His worst nightmare is coming true. Just when he thought James was his, he just had to come and ruin it all. Why can't he just push the feelings down anyways?
"I mean, this doesn't have to change anything! You don't have to treat me differently just because I'm a boy now, James." He has to fix this somehow, but how? James won't just forget that Regulus is a boy now. What if he's straight? What if Regulus was the guy that made James Fleamont Potter realize that he's straight? Merlin. no. No.
After a good, long second, James' eyes met his again. "Really?"
He had hope. "Yes, really. We can still hang out and be friends and all that."
"Friends." James echoed.
Friends. "Yeah, we don't have to stop being friends just because I'm a boy." Were they really friends? James kissed Reg's forehead just 5 minutes ago. Do friends do that?
Their meet-up didn't last as long as the other ones that night. James had to leave early for detention with McGonagall for setting off dungbombs in the girls' bathroom. It was Regulus' idea. He told James about it a week ago when they were talking about the Marauders' next prank.
Will that stop now that James knows he's a boy? Hopefully not.
Regulus couldn't sleep that night. He tossed and turned in his bed, finding himself stuck on the way James behavior quickly changed the moment he realized Reg is a boy. He would tell Sirius about this, but Sirius doesn't even know about his relationship with James. Or what once was. In the end, Reg found himself back in the Astronomy Tower, charting stars that he found in the night sky.
A week later, he was on his way up to the tower after dinner. He went there every night, hoping James would be there waiting for him. He always hoped that he just came early and that James would soon join him, but he never did.
When Regulus reached the top of the stairs, he found himself staring at an empty room. Until James took the Invisibility Cloak off.
"Reggie." He'd missed the sound of his name on the boy's lips. He wants to keep a recording of it and hide it from the world, only to play it when no one else was listening. James wasn't his, but at least his name was. It's the only piece of James he's gotten to keep all this time.
His feet started walking almost instantly into James' embrace, luckily, his senses came back to him. He's not yours, he had to remind himself. "Why're you here, James?"
He could see that James was taken aback. He's never really referred to James as 'James'. But what was he expecting?
"Look, I know that you're upset by what I said last week. But let me explain." James had pulled his hands back, now twiddling with his fingers again. "Just give me 5 minutes. Please?"
How could Regulus say no?
"Okay" He took a seat across from James. He didn't want to sit next to him. He's too scared of his hand accidentally touching James' and whatnot.
James took a deep breath. "What I said last week, I didn't mean it. I was just a bit shocked when you told me you were a boy. I don't mean that in a bad way, I should've figured it out before, but you know me. Anyways, I don't wanna be friends. I wanna be whatever we were before last week. I wanna be your boyfriend again, Reggie. May I?"
Regulus wasn't expecting this. He was hoping that James would say this, but that seemed so far away and now it's here right in front of him. Reg was too shy to say it, he just took James' chin and pulled him in, letting their lips touch.
Some time later, Reg found himself laying down on James' lap. He stayed still while James ran his hands through his hair, occasionally making the tiniest braids. He wanted to stay like this forever. Just a moment frozen in time where he was perfectly happy to just exist. He could've been asleep. James probably thought he was.
It was silent for a while, until James broke the silence.
"I wish you were a girl."

this was inspired by that one audio on tiktok from the movie 'as you are'. i plan on watching this movie this december, hopefully before the new years. as always, this is just a small thing that i've wanted to make for a while, but i've just found the motivation now. excuse the grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language. hope you enjoyed this one <3 oh, and i wanted to make james hindi, so i did a quick google search on terms of endearment in hindi and i found the word "jaanu" that was said to mean "my life" (source: language drops). if it's wrong please excuse it and just think of it as james trying to refer to regulus sweetly.
have a good day/evening/night, loves <3
crazy little thing called love
"Would you all stop teasing me? This is a very serious matter for me!" James had said.
That was five minutes ago. Now Sirius has root beer trailing down his nose down to his neck while Remus was just silently holding his laughter.
About three hours ago, James had brought him, Padfoot, and Wormtail to The Three Broomsticks, saying he had a very serious matter to discuss. Everybody was being their normal self – well – everybody except James. Peter was worried for James, repeatedly asking "What is it?" over and over and over until the words seem to have turned alien to Remus. Sirius on the other hand was laughing all the way here, telling his mate to "Relax, I'm pretty sure you're just being overdramatic. And we all know I'm nothing if not dramatic. So, as the muggles say, chill, Prongs."
The next hour consists of a blur of butterbeer, root beer, and whisky. Usually, Remus would hold himself back and not drink too much alcohol. But it's been more than a week since the full moon and his hip was still screaming every time he slightly moves around. A little alcohol doesn't hurt anybody, does it? he thought.
In the middle of telling a story about how he's finally mastered the art of eyeliner, Sirius was interrupted by James who cleared his throat after being silent for the whole hour.
"I have an announcement to make," said James. HIs voice was odd. It was high-pitched and all over the place. Not very James-like really.
Sirius just stopped mid-sentence. "Breaking news, lads. Our best friends Prongsie here has finally learned how to speak again. Astonishing!"
Remus found himself rolling his eyes. Though he thought it was unusual that James was acting like this. Where was the overconfident jock he was this morning? He wasn't only acting strange since the trip here. He barely said a word at dinner. Only muttered 'nice' once and smiled to himself while the others were rambling on and on about their day. No, he was acting strange even before that. It was really after Potions, when the fifth year Gryffindors had a class with the fourth year Slytherins. Normally, James would partner up with Sirius, but this time, he immediately ran to Regulus' table.
Oh. Oh.
Remus isn't an idiot. He's seen how James always seem to want to get closer to Regulus, no matter how much he pushes him away. He's seen the way they look at each other. It's the same way he and Sirius used to stare at each other when the other wasn't looking. They still do that now, only when they lock eyes, they don't break the eye contact and instead smile at each other.
James might've not told Remus about how he fancies Sirius' little brother, but he's also heard how Regulus talks about him. How Reg always seem to be mean to James, but smile to himself when he thinks nobody else is looking.
Remus realizes what's coming up and he finally understands why James had been acting so weird.
"Go ahead, Prongs. We're sure it's not that bad." Remus had spilled out. "Whatever it is, we'll support you no matter what." He was lying. He didn't know if Sirius was going to like the news or not. What he knew though, was that James was Sirius' soulmate and even if he didn't accept it at first, Sirius would come to his senses and accept that it isn't really that bad.
"Yeah, go ahead, Jamie" said Sirius in between giggles. He hasn't seen his Moony this serious since forever. Not to mention the fact that he hasn't been this drunk since forever. Everything was a haze and Sirius could barely see James without nearly squinting his eye shut.
James took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing. All right, so... uh... you know Regulus right?" No, we don't, Remus wanted to say. Instead, he said "Yeah, go on." He could see Sirius clinging onto Peter while grinning like a huge dork. That Sirius black grin.
"Yeah! So, you and Padfoot, right? You guys are, well, together. Me and, shit how do I say this, well so, Reggie and I are like you guys now, basically" James was trying to speed up the process, but every time he tried to talk it all just came out in a jumbled mess. "Hey, Pads, care for another beer?"
Secret's out.
Remus could see that everyone is trying to wrap their head around what just happened. Peter's face dropped and he's currently staring at James, not saying a word. Sirius also seem to be processing the situation, albeit a little slowly. How drunk is he, really?
"Woah, woah, back the fuck up! So, you're saying that you, James Fleamont Potter, are dating my brother, Regulus Arcturus Black?" Sirius said. Well, more like shouted. "Like dating dating? As in 'I love you' dating?"
Let's not act like this is not what Remus had expected. There are only two outcomes from this. Either Sirius storms off, or, well, he doesn't really know what the other option is. Sirius doesn't seem like the type to lecture James about treating his brother right.
After a long, awkward silence, James finally muttered a quiet "Yeah." By now, Sirius has sat back down in his chair.
Shit, Remus thought.
After yet another awkward silence, Sirius looks at James in the eyes. Shiiiitt.
"James, do you love him?" "Huh?" "Do you love him, Regulus?" "Well yeah, I mean, I don't really know what love technically means but if I were to explain it, I would say that I love him." "Alright." Sirius turned to the bartender and asked for another bottle of beer.
That was it? James seems to be thinking the same thing. "What do you mean alright, Sirius?" He chuckled, "I mean alright. I trust you enough to know that you won't break his heart, which if you do, you won't live to see another day. But I haven't been blind, Prongs. I've seen the way you both are like when you're together."
"Plus, you're madly in loooooooooooove" Padfoot said. "He's in love, Moony, you hear that? Our James has grown up quickly."
Oh, so he isn't mad? Thank Merlin.
Remus smiled. "Oh, he's in love, all right. He loooooooooooves our dear old Regulus!" By now, Peter's woken up and decided to tease James as well. "It's a crazy little thing called love!" Peter sang.
"Don't laugh! I was genuinely terrified of what Padfoot was gonna say!" James said. Come to think of it, it was rather funny how he was all stammer and stutter a few minutes ago.
"This thing, called love," Sirius stood up and reached for Remus' hand, pulling him down from his chair. "I just can't handle it" Remus twirled him around like a ballerina.
"Crazy little thing called love," Remus muttered, then pulled Sirius close. And their lips met. For a moment, nothing else mattered. All sound has gone silent and all that Remus could think about was Sirius Orion.
"Oi! Stop stealing my moment!" he'd heard James mutter in the background. Remus couldn't care less. He could feel Sirius smiling into the kiss, which just made him pull him harder onto him.
Remus didn't know what love meant as well. He's read books, but they didn't nearly prepare him enough for what it actually felt like. Love is Sirius. Love is his Padfoot.
He pulled away from the kiss, but couldn't find the need to look anywhere else other than Sirius' eyes.
"I love you" His voice was close to a whisper.
"I love you most" Sirius muttered.
"Lads! We're still here! Don't leave me and Pete hanging like this, will ya?" James said, clapping his hands to regain their attention.
"Look, Moony, that's our looover boy," Sirius chuckled. Remus could only smile.
James shook his head. He actually looks frustrated. It makes everything all the more funnier.
"Would you all stop teasing me? This is a very serious matter for me!" James said.
Stop. No. Don't do it. Remus wanted to say. But he was too late.
"No! You're James, I'm Sirius!"
The most overtold joke in the history of jokes. For some reason, Remus though it was the most hilarious thing he's ever heard. He has heard Sirius use that joke, over and over and over again. But for once it actually seems to be funny.
It was most likely James' reaction that made Remus double over in laughter. He looks so tired of that joke. To the point where he could only close his eyes and exhale.
But that's not the thing that made Sirius laugh. No, it was Remus doubling over in laughter, which then caused his arse to bump into Peter, who fell onto the bar and landed in one of those stacks made out of shot glasses, causing the whole structure to topple over and the glasses to shatter all across the floor.
This time, it was Sirius' turn to laugh while Remus and Peter stood in horror.
"Oh no" was the only thing he could muster up. He could hear Sirius slapping James shoulder behind him while laughing, or more likely sobbing.
He turned around to face them, only to find that there was root beer running down Sirius' nose, down onto his neck and spreading all over his shirt. That's hot, he immediately thought before bursting into laughter again. Leaving Peter to face with the mess they made.
p.s this was just a fun little thing that i wanted to try out. i had an idea and it just came onto life. i had a lot of fun writing this and might try writing more in the future. apologies for grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language. hope you liked it <3
