10 things only James Potter knew about Regulus Black
1) In July 1976, he came to the Potters through their floo together with unconscious Sirius. He left again before Effie and Monty came.
2) After his brother got away from home, he continued to secretly check on him.
3) He threatened Snape into not spreading the information about Remus being a werewolf.
4) He hexed another Slytherin for insulting Pandora.
5) He got punished for it by his mother. That was the second time he came through the Potters's floo.
6) He spent most of his nights at Hogwarts in the astronomy tower.
7) Regulus had violent nightmares that left him shaking. Sometimes, the shakes didn't stop for hours.
8) His touch was like the ocean - engulfing, gentle, but also powerful.
9) Before he left for the cave, he obliviated James in his sleep.
10) The obliviate didn't work.

y'know there's pain and then there's knowing Sirius died before he could find out Regulus turned against Voldemort

Alice tells Narcissa she loves her for the first time in a bathtub, water runs through her hair, Narcissa's head rests on Alice's chest, her humming lowers as she realizes the words, gray eyes looking up at Alice as if it were a miracle, as it is the first time she hears those words. Alice telling Narcissa that she loves her for the last time, in the middle of a cafe in Paris, gray eyes looking at her with pain, tears running wildly down that beautiful face, both with their hair wet from the rain they just left behind when they entered.

what's a ship that you haven't read a lot about but are interested in?
ooooh great question !!!
I think I'd love to read more about Ted & Andromeda. I feel like they're always kind of in the background of the fics I read (because I'm always reading about Sirius or Regulus 🤭) but I'd love to pop into their heads for a bit and see the world through their eyes
and honestly anything with Black family angst will undoubtedly have me in a chokehold

oh the pain of hating your families views but being unable to say anything against them because they'll make your life hell...you whisper to yourself over and over and over "i'm a good person, i'm a good person, i'm a good person.." and eventually, you begin to wonder if it's even true anymore.....

Marauders headcanon:
(Idk whether this needs it but here’s a cw. Discussion of cults.)
As a child, Regulus had been fascinated by cults. He would read about them, think about them, talk about them, research them. Anything to do with cults and he was there. He thought that the idea of total control over a group of people was incredibly interesting. He found the idea of being brainwashed intriguing. He knew that if one of those people saw themselves before, during and after a cult, they would be able to see it but while they’re experiencing it, they can’t see it at all. His knowledge of cults ended up changing from fascination to intense dislike after Sirius left. He saw how different Sirius was at school, but it was nothing compared to what he was like once he was out. He started to think about it. When reading his books he noticed the similarities between the house of black and these cults. These horrific, terrifying cults. it was small things at first, but then he went searching for it. The similarities were too close. Eventually it clicked. He knew it before but it only clicked after he got the dark mark. He was in a cult. He was brainwashed. He didn’t have a sense of self, didn’t have his own identity, followed others political opinions and ideas. He was in a cult.

Always Pure
Tumblr media
You felt like your word was crumbling down, your boyfriend of two years sitting on his dorm bed his gaze firmly against the floor. 
“I- you- please tell me this is a horrible joke.” You finally spoke up softly while trying to collect your thoughts, Orion had just revealed to you that his parents had arranged him to marry his cousin Walburga. 
“I wish it was. I don’t want this to happen.” Orion replied softly, his handsome features downcast. He tried to keep himself cool but failed miserably, he couldn’t hide his genuine hurt. 
“I suppose this is it then for us, we should break up.” You said holding back your tears, trying to breathe deeply so you wouldn’t break down in tears. 
“That would be for the best” Orion replies stiffly. He cannot bring himself to make eye contact with you. “I will miss you.” 
You feel a tear roll down your cheek and you quickly wipe it away. “Don’t say that.” Your voice comes out as a whisper, shaking slightly.
“But it is true. I genuinely fell in love with you in this time we shared together, but I have my duty toward my family to consider.” Orion replies, turning his gaze up to yours. There is genuine remorse in his clear blue eyes, which is rare for him as he’s usually so good at hiding his emotions.
You took a shaky deep breath as you decided that you really had nothing else to say, you couldn’t; you just wanted to be alone and cry under your bed covers. As you were turning around preparing yourself to leave Orion’s dorm room for the last time he speaks up and grabs your hand gently. 
“I did not want this to happen.” He states softly, his expression is serious but a glint of sadness in his eyes reveals he has no desire to see you go.
You felt your heart break more after his statement and you swallowed hard before speaking up “Yet it did.” 
Orion nodded softly and sighed.
“Yes. I am so sorry that duty is more important to me than my personal feelings, my emotions toward you. I would choose you in a heartbeat in any other scenario, but that is not the way things are meant to be.” His soft gentle manner seems so far away from his usual arrogance and pompousness. You held back a sob and for a split second when you closed your eyes you wanted to kiss him one last time. Orion caves in and pulls you towards him, embracing you tightly.
He can’t help but want you so badly in that moment, and kisses the top of your head with your face buried against his chest. And for this small moment you didn’t pull back and for a moment you forgot to be sad, you were in the arms of your love. Orion’s hands run through your hair in a soothing manner and he tries to find the words for the intense feeling of longing in his chest.  
“Please do not cry.” Orion is now whispering into your ear, he could feel you sobbing against him softly and he hated the fact that he was the reason to your sadness. 
“I am truly going to miss everything about you..” He says softly, his hands gently stroke your back. The scent of you just gets to him more and more, he loved this perfume you were wearing right now. 
“I’m going to miss you too.” You look up into his eyes your faces so close like you were about to kiss. 
“I wish I could marry you instead” Orion says in a hoarse whisper, he was so lost in you. He wanted to kiss you, to really embrace you. The way it used to be… The way you two were before. “I don’t want to let you go..” Orion continues.
Without thinking you lean up and kiss him and any last pretence flies out of the window. There’s a burning need inside of him that can’t be satisfied, he isn’t thinking about his family or your breakup or the stupid ass marriage but the way you made him feel. The way you always did. Neither of you want to pull away, like everything is right in the world as long as he is kissing you.
The scent of you sends shivers down his spine, and he pulls you even closer. Your lips are soft and supple, which he loves. Your lips are so familiar to him like home, his kisses become more urgent and runs his fingers through your hair. After some time you both pull away slightly breathless, Orion’s eyes locked on yours filled with love for you. 
“Oh god, I truly love you. I love everything about you.” He whispers leaning his forehead against yours softly. You felt your eyes get teary again, you didn’t want to cry, not now. 
“I’ll love you too, always.” You respond with a soft whisper to him. Orion leans slightly back his hands still on your arms as he just takes your appearance in. 
“Don’t cry, it hurts me even more.” He says, his voice cracking as he speaks. There is pure pain in his eyes as he runs a hand through your hair, wanting to touch you but knowing he shouldn’t. You took a small step back, you should leave his dorm room; the longer you stayed the more it hurt. 
“I should leave now..” You said softly, trying to stay strong. 
“Yes.. I suppose you should, but I need to tell you one last thing before you go” Orion replies with a hoarse whisper and he takes a step closer to you, like it’s a secret what he’s going to say next. He pulls you in slightly, his lips close to your ear. 
“If there’s one thing in this godawful world that I am certain of, it is the fact that I will love you for the rest of my life. I shall never stop loving you.” 
You kissed his cheek softly after hearing his words “I feel the same.” Is all you could muster up to reply with so that you wouldn’t break down. You turned to leave his dorm room and this time he didn’t stop you, you opened the door and entered the familiar Slytherin common room. Your world shattered and broken, this was so unfair.
Orion watched you go. He stayed there for a long time, staring at the empty space in front of him. His eyes are wet, and his heart feels like it’s been ripped from his body. He truly does love you. Why the hell couldn’t it just have been you he was going to marry? Why did it have to be a damned arranged marriage? A marriage he would be miserable in, he knew he would never love his cousin- soon to be wife. Or the children they’d have, he couldn’t and he wouldn’t. It was their fault you were forced away from him. He wanted to love you and marry you, but… Fate is never kind to the house of Black and those born into it, is it?

Merry Christmas everyone, i'm so glad Regulus Black gets to spend it with his brother Sirius Black and his boyfriend James Potter and his chosen family Effie and Monty Potter because he escaped his abusive family and never died in a cave <3

Sirius: What did you ever sacrifice?
Regulus: I gave everything, I gave my whole life
Sirius: You died trying to betray the dark Lord that you worshiped wohoo
Regulus: I'm not talking about my death, I'm talking about my life. I gave my whole life.
Sirius:...
Regulus: I stayed when you wanted to leave. I received your burden, and if I had escaped too, they would have hunted you
Regulus: So, Yes, Sirius, I gave my whole life
