The prolouge to my jegulus / marypandalily descendants au fanfic is up!!

Includes:

Regulus (son of Maleficent) and Pandora (daughter of the queen of hearts) as the two main povs with a possibility of some other povs mixed in two.

Background ships like wolfstar, dorlene, rosekiller

Friendships like Regulus and Lily, childhood bffs James, Marlene and Peter, bestie Lily and Remus, Pandora and Peter, Lily and Sirius and obviously, James and Sirius

I like the hc that Barty is a a bit crazy and Regulus and Evan ground him.

But I L O V E the hc that all three of them are borderline insane menaces to society. With a soft heart.

They had a plan. Theyd spent days carefully constructing every detail. Everything had to work and everything would. The plan had no flaws.

Except for the fact that James wouldn't be able to help if anything went wrong.

He hadn't seen regulus in three weeks, he was due back today. If the plan had worked, regulus would be in his arms tonight. If he isn't then he's dead and James might be next.

"James? Mate? You alright?" Sirius called across the dinner table, snapping James from his thoughts. He looked up to find the entire table looking at him. His mum, dad, Sirius and Remus, Lily, Marlene and Peter. All the same look of curiosity and concern.

"I...umm- I'm not that hungry." James picked up his plate and took it to the kitchen, dropping it in the sink before climbing the stairs to his room. He opened the window, like he and Regulus had agreed and sat on the window seat, looking out into the dark winter night.

About twenty minutes later, Lily knocked on James' door and stepped inside, a hand resting ontop of her bump.

"Is he here yet?" She asked, sitting beside James and placing a hand on his knee. "He'll be here, Jamie. I can feel it."

James lay his head on his girlfriends shoulder and took her hand in his, leaving the other still on his thigh.

A black cat padded past the tree line and up the hill that led to Potter Manor. It was late now and the full house was in darkness except from the window that he had climbed through so many times as a teenager. As he got closer, he noticed two figures in the window. James and Lily. Cuddled up. Lily looked right at him and shook James awake.

They jumped up and both looked down at him with relief all over their faces as Regulus transformed.

"He's alive." Lily whispered just loud enough for regulus to hear and he began climbing the vines, the locket heavy around his neck, the loves of his life waiting for him.

Meet the VK's (three out of four)

Regulus was walking along the narrow, dirt covered streets, smoke flowing around him. He stared straight ahead, people jumped out of the way to let him past. At the end of the street, it opened out into a large square, the island centre. A kind of market. A few stalls made out of scrap wood and metal sat around in one corner, streets sprouted off and a few people walked around.

Regulus stood in the centre of the concrete, looking around. In the shadows of the back corner, he spotted who he was looking for. He quickly walked over to her. Pandora Lestrange, youngest child and only daughter of the Queen of Hearts.

Pandora was Regulus' closest friend. She was quiet like him and sweet, probably the only half nice person on the island. She was soft spoken and seemed shy but was really the opposite. She also noticed everything.

"Regulus. I guess you've heard." Pandora smiled slightly, not looking away from the group of people she was observing.

"I have. Its ridiculous. Of course, Sirius is happy. Can't wait to make a princess fall in love with him. And mother. Oh, you won't believe her plan." He rolled his eyes. It was insanity.

"Oh no, I believe it. Bellatrix told me." Bellatrix was married to Pandora's oldest brother, Rodolphus, and also happened to be Regulus' insane cousin. She once stabbed her sister in the hand to get out of another lecture on how awful snow white was from her mother.

"Have you seen-" Regulus was cut off by a loud bang. He loomed up to see Evan Rosier jump off the roof of a makeshift house and crash through one of the stall roofs. "-Evan."

"Rosier!" The woman who owned the stall reached out to slap him but Evan ducked, jumping out of the way. He began to walk away when he noticed Regulus and Pandora. His face broke into a grin as he began to walk towards them.

"Pandora! Regulus! Just who I was looking for!" He shouted across the square, stealing a half rotten apple as he passed the stall.

He leaned against the wall between the two, lowering his voice. "Have you heard?"

"Yep." Regulus replied quickly.

"And the plan?-"

"That too." Pandora nodded.

"Well-" Evan clapped both his friends on the shoulder, "-We're going to the mainland!"

If i wrote this, would you read it??

Once upon a time, a long time ago, well, about twenty years ago, Euphemia married her beast onfront of 6000 of their closest friends. Instead of a honeymoon, as a wedding present to their people, the couple united all of the kingdoms and got themselves elected as the King and Queen of The Kingdoms of Godrics Hollow.

They rounded up all the villians and sidekicks, basically all the most interesting people, and threw them onto a small island called Azkaban with a magic barrier to keep them there.

This, is my home. No magic. No WiFi. No. Way. Out.

Well, that's what I thought.

Prince James Potter, future King of the Kingdoms of Godrics Hollow, has a plan. A plan he's really passionate about. To bring the villian kids over to Godrics Hallow to attend Hogwarts and have a chance at being normal teenagers.

He picks four kids to bring over. Pandora Lestrange, youngest child of the Queen of Hearts. Evan Rosier, son of Gaston. And the two sons of Maleficent, Sirius Black and his younger brother, Regulus.

Regulus also has a plan. To destroy Godrics Hollow and bring the villians back to power. Nothing can stop him.

Except maybe the Prince

Not the End

"I'm sorry." James felt his heart drop as Regulus extended his left arm and reached for his cuff. Tears pricked his eyes. He knew what had happened. He knew what was coming.

"Reg...baby..." James said softly. He reached out and placed his hand under regulus' wrist. He slowly removed his right hand and lifted the sleeve himself. There, branded on his lovers pale forearm was the black ink of a skull and snake.

Regulus was still, watching with tears pouring silently down his cheeks as James stared at the mark. He expected an argument. James to look at him like he did Snape or Avery and run away. He expected James to leave him and go to his brother. He should hate him.

Instead, James lowered his lips to the mark and left light kisses right round it. Then he looked up, meeting regulus' eyes and cupped the smaller boys face in his large hand.

"It's not your fault, mi estrella." He said, using his thumb to wipe away the tears. And Regulus fell in love a little more.

That night, James snuck into Regulus' dorm and slept with him in his arms as he cried. He whispered sweet promises into his ear, reassuring him.

"I love you, Jamie." Regulus whispered, for the first time. But, James already knew.

"I love you too, Reggie. Your my everything."

Currently writing a short Black Brothers story with song lyrics tied in and it's destroying me.

This group of gay witches and wizards break my heart

The Archer (Regulus' Version) Part Two

Part One | Part Two |

Song: The Archer by Taylor Swift

Characters: Regulus Black, Sirius Black, Walburga Black, mentions of Narcissa Black and Andromeda Black

Warning: hurting someone you love, implications of child abuse, self hate

Easy they come, easy they go

I jump from the train, I ride off alone

Aged 15

"You aren't to talk to him, Regulus. He is no longer your brother. He's just as bad as those Potters." Walburga warned her son, just as he was boarding the scarlet steam train to leave for the next term at hogwarts.

He had to listen. He didn't want to, but he had to. To protect not only himself but, more importantly, protect him.

"Regulus. I've been so worried, are you okay!? Did they hurt you?" Sirius asks, checking regulus for fresh injuries, the moment he see him on the train. Regulus stands onfront of him for a moment, frozen. He looks better, he still has a bruise around his eye. His arm has a few new scars, thin and neat, like the rest. But their are no longer black bags under his eyes, his hair isn't matted with blood, his eyes aren't red. He looks better. That's enough for Regulus. He's okay. He's going to be okay.

His big brother will be okay without him.

So, without a word, regulus walks right past him and down the train. He walks straight into the furthest Carriage from his brother, scarring a bunch of first years out and curls up on the seat and cries and cries until his eyes are dry.

I never grew up, it's getting so old

Help me hold onto you

Aged 16

Regulus had had a bad day. He was sent a howler for his mother in the Great Hall because his grades had dropped a little, but he was still top of all his classes.

Sirius had tried to talk to him about it. He had to shoot him down. He walked right past him like he was a ghost, again.

He went straight to his dorm, thanking merlin that it was empty. He took his old poetry book out his trunk and took out the picture from inside of it.

It was a picture of him and sirius. Regulus was nine, sirius had just turned eleven the day before, according to the date on the back.

They were stood in the garden. Sirius had his arm around Regulus' shoulder, a wide, happy grin on his face. Regulus was smiling too. He didn't do that often now.

Narcissa took the photo. She saved it for regulus and gave him it not long after sirius left.

Now, he would look at it any time he missed his brother. Anytime he longed to curl up his arms and cry. Whenever he wanted to simply turn back time to when this photos was taken.

It was one of his last really happy memories.

Andromeda was disowned a few weeks later.

I've been the archer

Aged 15

Regulus turned the corner in the dungeons, and right infront of the common room door, leaning against the wall, was sirius.

He stood up the moment he saw Regulus, his eyes full of hope but also hurt.

"Regulus, please. Can we talk?"

Regulus stayed quiet, staring at him with no emotion. He'd lost count of the amount of times Sirius had tried to talk to him since they'd returned to school. He needed to get him to stop, for both of their sakes.

Regulus would do anything to protect his older brother, just like Sirius had for him when they were younger.

"Reg, come on. Please. I'm your brother." He pleaded desperately.

In this moment, regulus said something he would regret until he took his last breath.

"Your not my brother. Not anymore." He walked past, bumping his brothers shoulder roughly as he moved to enter the common room. He opened the door and put one foot in the passage. He turned his head to see Sirius standing frozen, looking at him with tears rolling down his cheeks. But he still had that hope in his eyes.

"Your a Potter now. A filthy. Little. Blood traitor." Regulus spat. And the hope crumpled up and died.

Regulus hated himself. But he loved Sirius. He did what he had to do.

I've been the prey

Who could ever leave me, darling?

But who could stay?

Aged 17

"Your worthless." Walburga slammed the door, leaving regulus curled up on the floor, still shaking.

He lay there the rest of the night, waiting for Sirius to sneak into the room and help him into his bed, give him a drink of water and curl up with him as he sobbed, telling him stories of the things they'd do when they left. Or stories of things his friends had done.

But, deep down, regulus knew he wasn't coming. He hadn't come in years. He'd left.

Sirius was gone and regulus was left alone.

Left alone with his regret and his hurt. Alone with his demons.

He didnt think he could forgive Sirius for getting out, but he never would have forgiven him if he'd stayed.

This is something I've been working on for a while. I have plans for the full song, this was just getting too long. This is just the first verse.

The Archer (Regulus' Version)

Part One | Part Two |

Song: The Archer by Taylor Swift

Characters: Regulus Black, Sirius Black, Walburga Black, mentions of Bellatrix Lestrange, Remus Lupin, James Potter and Lily Evans.

Warnings: Mentions of Child Abuse, Arrange marriage, death of a child (their 17), main character dies, the Black brothers

Combat, I'm ready for combat

Aged Eight

"Shh...reg...its okay. Your okay." Sirius cradles his brother in his arms, rocking him back and forth and he sobs into his chest after a particularly bad punishment from their mother. This one sirius couldn't take the blame for.

"Don't worry reg. I'm going to get us out of here. I'll be at hogwarts in two years, you'll be with me in three. We'll spend the year running round the corridors, just us two. Maybe a few new friends too. None that Mother can control us through, though. After that, we can leave together." Sirius plans out, smiling down at his younger brother. Its his dream. Its his dream to take regulus and ran as far away as they can. Somewhere no one in the Black family can reach them.

I say I don't want that, but what if I do?

Aged 14

"I will not have another son of mine associating with blood traitors." Walburga spoke, speaking the last two words like they were poison. "You aren't to speak to him again. You are dismissed."

"Yes, maman. I apologise." Regulus turned and walked out of the room, making sure his mother wasn't watching when he slouched against the wall at the top of the stairs.

"Remember Reg, remember our plans. I haven't forgot, I hope you haven't either." Sirius appeared at his room door, watching Regulus with sympathy.

Regulus can't lie, those words helped. He felt warmth fill his chest, the corners of his lips twitched up.

He imagined, him and sirius, a tiny two bedroom flat in muggle London. He'd work in a bookshop or a small cafe, Sirius in a record shop or maybe even a hair salon. Theyd have a cat. A grumpy one. They would be friends with whoever they wanted and they'd have them over whenever they felt like it.

Then reality hit.

They couldn't both leave. Only one could cause then there would still be an heir. Their family would hunt them both down. Only one would escape. And Regulus would make sure it wasn't him.

"I dont know what your talking about." He said coldly, pushing off the wall and locking himself in his bedroom, forcing himself not to look at his brothers face.

'Cause cruelty wins in the movies

Aged 15

Regulus listened to the screams through the floor. He listened as his brother called out to him for help. Cried in pain. Regulus cried along with him, cause there was nothing he could do.

He heard his mother's yelling. He sobbed at the sound of Bellatrix, who he'd once considered his favourite cousin, laugh at his brothers pain.

Then their was nothing, just silence.

He watched as the minutes ticked by. Waiting. It was late. The house in silence. When he was sure no one was awake, Regulus got up. He snuck across the room and into the hall, avoiding the creaky boards like Sirius had taught him. Slowly, he pushed open his brothers door.

"Siri?" He peered in and saw sirius, barely able to stand by himself, blood coating his usually perfect hair and his pale face. His eyes were blood-shot, his arms bruised and his clothes ripped. Onfront of him was his trunk and he was throwing things in it.

"Reggie." He sighed, looking up at his brother with relief. "I thought they'd hurt you too." He gave a small smile, wincing when he moved his face.

"Your leaving?" Regulus bit the inside of his cheek to stop the tears. He wanted to reach out and take all the pain from his brother, then help him escape. He wanted him to get out, he deserved to get away from this bullshit. But that doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

"We have to, Reg. We can't stay here. Go, get your trunk. Pack what you need. Nothing more."

Regulus shook his head. "Where are you going to go?"

Siruis let out a shaky breath. "I'm going to James'. But I'm coming back for you, Reg. Even if it means I have to drag you out myself." He said, he didn't have the energy or strength to force him right now but he would get him out. Soon.

"I love you, Reggie." Sirius said, stepping into the fireplace and throwing down the floo powder, muttering his destination under his breath so no one heard.

Regulus let out a sob when the flames disappeared before running to his room before his parents found him. That night, he cried himself to sleep with Sirius' pillow in his arms.

I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you

Dear Siri,

I miss you. Its awful here without you. We aren't even allowed to say your name. Your rooms been locked.

Everything is much more bearable when your here. You make everything better.

I love you,

Reggie

Dear Sirius,

Come back, please. I hate it here without you. Please come back to me. Please.

I love you, brother

Reg

Come back for me. I want to leave. I can't do this anymore, Sirius. Please, I need you. I can't take this anymore.

I love you

Regulus

Dear Sirius

I got it. I'm so so sorry sirius. I swear I didn't want to. But they didn't give me a choice. It hurt like hell. I passed out. It hurts even more than the C-Curse. I know you probably hate me now. Don't worry, I hate me too.

I love you, Siri

R.A.B

Dear Sirius,

I seen you the other day. On a mission in diagon Alley. You didn't see me, but I saw you. I wanted to run to you so badly when you almost got hit. I'm happy that Remus saved you. I'm happy for the both of you. Your good for each other.

I love you

R.A.B

Sirius,

I need your help. Mother has found me a wife. I'm getting married in March, 1980. I never imagined have to get married without you at my side. Marrying Amaryllis Yaxley would be much more bearable with you there.

I love you

R.A.B

Sirius,

I saw in the prophet that James and Lily got married. I hope they have a good life together. I saw you in the photos. You look happy. I'm glad your happy. Although, you could do with a hair cut.

R.A.B

I found a way, brother. A way out. A way to end this war. I'm going to get rid of him, Siri. For you.

R.A.B

Aged 17

Regulus wiped a tear from his cheek before he put all the letters back into the old box, all besides one. He climbed off his bed and placed the box under a floor board, were it wouldn't be found for years to come.

He stood up, wiping away another tear. He grabbed his wand, a piece of parchment and a locket that was an exact replica of the locket of slytherin.

Regulus looked down at the note in his hand one more time before sealing it to his owls leg and opened the window. He took one last look around his bedroom. At all the things he'd ever owned, the only place that was ever truly his.

Then he turned around and walked out.

Regulus was already dead by the time sirius got the letter. He looked at the letter once and knew. He knew his worse fear had come true and sunk to his knees, sobs ripping through him.

When Remus came home to find his boyfriend on the floor in tears, he only had to look at the parchment on the counter once to know what had happened.

I'm sorry. I remember, I never forgot. You were always my brother.

I love you

Goodbye, Siri.

R.A.B

Jegulus headcanons cause I'm bored and why not

Regulus fell first and rather than telling James he loved him, he gave him his favourite ring. James has never taken it off.

James thinks he always has to be the perfect, cheery friend and take care of his friends. But sometimes it gets difficult. Regulus is the only person who has seen his panick attacks about not being good enough.

James and Regulus' special place is the astronomy tower. It's actually where their relationship started. James saw regulus up there alone on the map a few times and went to join him to keep him company. Regulus ignores him the first few times but slowly comes round and starts talking to him.

Regulus wears a necklace of two antlers with james' initials, hidden under his turtlenecks and shirts because it makes him feel safe.

James reads all of regulus' favourite books at the beginning of the astronomy tower just so they have something to talk about. Regulus finds James copies of the book and sees he has annotated them and almost faints.

Such Marlene behaviour

You ever read fanfic so god tier you have to wait for real life to load back in so you spend half the day doing tasks with that dead look in your eye, replaying all your favorite moments?

James was wandering the castle after curfew. He was restless, couldn't sleep. He was filling his brain everytime he closed his eyes. His beautiful face, his silky hair that James desperately wanted to run a hand through, his soft, red cupids bow lips that he really badly wanted to...

He wandered around the corridors, knowing it wasn't a good idea. He had stupidly left both the map and the cloak in the dorm so he could easily get caught. He hoped no teachers or prefects would be out this late.

The moon shone through the windows, covering the cold stone corridors in small patches of light. His footsteps echoed softly.

James looked up and saw the shadow of a cat, knowing he was done for if it was Mrs Norris cause filch was never too far from her. He tried to duck into the shadows, watching as the cat turned the corner.

To his surprise, it wasn't Mrs Morris at all, not was it a cat he recognised. James took to knowing all the cats in the castle. Many students had them as pets and James loved cats so he'd often be found playing with one.

The kitten padded slowly along the corridor, towards James. He was incredibly small with black, soft looking fur and no collar. All the pet cats at hogwarts had collars, they had to have them, it was the rules.

James stepped into the middle of the corridor. He crouched down a few feet away from the kitten and put out his hand.

The cat stopped the moment it say James, glancing between him and the way he came. Hesitantly, he urged forward and sniffed James' had. Then, he purred and rubbed his head on it.

James, with a grin on his fave, then moved to sit on the floor with his legs crossed and the cat immediately crawled into his lap and cuddled upto him.

He frowned when he realised he was shaking. Shivering. It was freezing in the corridors and this cat had no owner by the looks of it. Not one that cared about him anyway.

"Your cold." James muttered softly, the cat looking up at him with his big, silver eyes that seemed to glow in the moonlight. "Come, we can go to the common room, it's warm there." James picked the kitten up, holding him against his chest, stood up and began making his way through the corridor, back the way he came.

"Do you have a name?" He asked, knowing no one would answer. "We have to give you one." He thought for a moment. "Freckles?" He laughed softly when the cat let out an angry sounding meow at that. "Hmmm...Elio?"

The cat seems to like that name, so they go with that. Elio, James' little kitten.

James mutters the password before climbing through the portrait hole into the common room, letting Elio down and sits on the couch. He looks around, climbing onto the window sill and looking at the view outside before going back to lie on James' lap.

Regulus has never been happier.

"James looks into the angel's eyes and knows the angel means the promise and isn't being a sneaky little liar. James smiles, pleased. "I'm going to keep you." "

And

""I have to tell you a joke," James says, and the angel blinks at him, then arches an eyebrow. "I need you to laugh."

"James—"

"What did the big flower say to the little flower?"

The angel glances over at the best friend, and the best friend is stifling laughter, and then the angel focuses on James again. The angel indulges him. "I don't know. What did the big flower say to the little flower?"

"Hey there, bud," James tells him, and the mother laughs, and the father laughs, and the best friend laughs, but the angel does not laugh. No, the angel only reaches up to grab his hand, gently pressing a smile to his knuckles. It's a small smile. Lips of an angel. Sweet. James wants to put his mouth on it, and stick his fingers in it, but he's also sad because the angel didn't laugh. "You were supposed to laugh. I told a flower joke. It was funny, and you like flowers.""

High James is just fabulous and I love it he's so cute

Oh, I know, but you weren't around," Bellatrix tells him, clicking her tongue. "Oh well. All's well that ends well, I say. That's done now, yeah? He had it coming."

Who knew that Bellatrix Lestrange would be a swifty?!?!!?

She would be such a reputation/speak now girl. I did something bad is her favourite

"Congratulations, by the way," Frank says.

Despite everything, James breaks out into a goofy grin. Did he know he was engaged prior to Regulus announcing it when he sent the bagel? No. Is he going to protest it? Also no.

James beams over at Frank and chirps, "Thanks!"

Love that for him
