i have an unhealthy attachment to regulus black

i love whatever the fuck james potter and sirius black have going on. i bet it looks wild from the outside. its undefinable. its romantic. its deeply platonic. its obsessive. its a secret fifth thing. its a little feral. they're soulmates. they're brothers. they're best friends. they're partners in crime. they're creepy twins in a horror movie. they're each other's person. they can read each others minds. they're not technically two seperate people anymore. no one knows where one ends and the other begins. i'm voting them 'most likely to have a folie à deux thing going on' in the school yearbook.

Sirius was the glue of his family in the way that him staying was what kept the peace. The entire family crumbled once he left. He was the favourite child even when he wasn’t, the prodigal son. Regulus may have followed his parents and been obedient but it was Sirius who excelled, who was intelligent and cruel and political. The perfect heir to the Noble House of Black. Walburga and Orion keep looking for Sirius in Regulus, who will never be able to grow out of his shadow, at least not in his parents’ eyes. And Regulus, he will push himself beyond his abilities over and over, always trying to make his parents proud. He’s looking for Sirius in them too. Sirius was the only one in that family to love him unconditionally, to see him as more than the spare. Even if becoming the perfect heir feels impossible, Regulus will put his everything into it, desperately searching for some shred of that elusive affection in his parents. It’s never enough for any of them. None of them can fill the hole Sirius leaves behind, and the family keeps fracturing until there’s nothing left. In the end, Walburga and Orion never really held any power over Sirius. It was Sirius who in control, Sirius who stayed for as long as his loyalty outweighed his moral compass. Sirius was the glue because he was the only soul in that family strong enough to be, the only one who cared enough to bother.
