#dark jegulus

Using the cruciatus curse is what threatens to break James. Regulus really has to make him break. The trick with James is that he has to have something against the person, that's how you lure him in. So Regulus brings in Mulciber, reminds James how horrible he was when Regulus came out, what Mulciber had tried to do to him. It's enough to break James.

just hear me out, the cloak and the map? perfect stalking material. Maybe it starts off innocent, James just wanting to check up on Regulus for some reason or James wanting to know more about his best friend's little brother but it spirals out of control quickly. One moment he's watching Regulus' name move on the map, the next he's under the cloak and trying his hardest not to be detected. He's sneaking into the Slytherin dorms, he's trying to figure out how close Regulus' friends actually are to him.

and I feel like I don't have to explain at all for Regulus, I feel his family name and legacy speaks up plenty. Regulus is smart, Regulus is cunning. He caught on quite quickly that he was getting trailed around. Maybe not knowing who at first, but he at least can tell when footsteps not matching his own sound off around him. He mentions wanting one thing, within the week it's his, he mentions doing something but just being too busy, suddenly at least half of his plans are cancelled. He mentions wanting someone gone and suddenly they're just simply buried six feet under. He eats up the power he's given. Then he finds out it's James Potter behind it all and suddenly it just got 10x better.

So cue James going to the butcher shop on a regular with a giant grin and Regulus with his short curly hair up and being all blushy and wide-eyed while cleaning a butcher knife covered in blood, wearing a cute, though dirty, and stained apron.

whatever you're trying to say I've probably eaten multiple times.

I would like a completely nuts crazy obsessed like a cult worship type shit Regulus and James who knows and loves the attention and gives him attention right back, all dotting and loving just so he can keep him like a little play toy and Regulus who's been neglected his whole life fucking digs it.

And Sirius who is completely aware of how Regulus is because Regulus used to worship Sirius as well-BUT, he's not mad at Jegulus happening he's just like "oh thank Merlin he's gonna leave me alone now, wish ya luck James!"

James then starts to realize what level of fucking devotion Regulus has and get's a bit creeped out sometimes but loves the thrill of it,being in danger and the constant staring and empty eyes just reflecting him.

With a side of Moonwater worshipping their partners but Remus is more like this:

Remus loved Sirius at first sight,he doesn't think of him as a God,he sees him as completly human,all his faults and plus's is the truest form of a human and nobody else would be able to handle Remus in the most truest form and call it beautiful.

But Sirius did,because he lwk understands Regulus now for the worshipping thing.

Sirius has seen violence all his life, he thinks that's raw nature and he hates it till Remus shows him a new side to it.

Remus bleeds himself like a Matyr but he get's up as a werewolf,his true form and can only handle them as Animagus because it's their truest form as well, Remus shows possessiveness and fully gives what he has to Sirius,following him blindly but he also stands his ground when others get hurt because of it, Sirius is fucking obsessed with it,like he's performing experiments and he was born to be the heir, the leader Sirius leads Remus always but if he vanishes Sirius will search like a rabid animal,destroying everything in his path to take what his rightfully is because he was spoilt.

Jegulus acquaintances (like oh yeah he exists type shit)

to enemies (regulus is a death eater, James is in the order. But it’s like proper enemies. Regulus has it out for James and James kinda just likes the attention but doesn’t know why)

to hate fuckers (where Regulus has James pinned to the wall of an alleyway at wand point where James went to apparate away. He doesn’t get to obviously and James just smiles and flirts and riles Regulus up so much that he just snaps and kisses the ever loving shit out of James. They don’t fuck here, no no, Regulus runs away and leaves James with a lot to think about. The hate fucking comes a lot later when the two find themselves locked in a duel. They are probably in the middle of the woods somewhere and their back up is no where in sight. Regulus eventually finds himself pressed against a tree, his wand held at James throat ready to use it, but James just smiles and leans closer to whisper in his ear, “I haven’t stopped thinking about you.” And if that doesn’t send Regulus spiralling… anyway so they kiss again and this the hate fucking begins.)

to “I still hate you but I don’t” (sort of push and pull. They keep ‘accidentally’ being in the same place at the same time. In public, Regulus hates James’ guts, he is also in denial and so far gone for James but James is in a similar position, he hates that Regulus is a death eater but gods if Regulus isn’t the most beautiful thing he’s ever laid eyes on…)

to reluctant friends who fuck (after Regulus discovers Voldemorts secret. The horcruxes and is so disgusted not only with Voldemort but also himself that he seeks out James willingly. Sending him an owl to meet and if he doesn’t come alone Regulus will do indescribable things to the people he cares about. So James goes and finds Regulus pacing manically and James does what he does best and helps him calm down. Regulus doesn’t want to talk about it, not yet but he has realised that James isn’t so bad and then they fuck because Regulus is only a man.)

to “I would kill for you” “I’d let you” (Its a war, James morally grey is my love idc. James would just tell Regulus that there is a spy in the order and Regulus would say that and James would be like, “yeah okay, fair enough, do it.” So not only does Regulus have his super secret mission about finding these fucking horcruxes without Voldemort knowing, he also has to find and kill the spy - which he is all too happy to do. He also doesn’t question why he feels so strongly about keeping James safe and still remains in denial.)

to “I’d do anything for you” (they’d do anything for the other. James is sort of pulling away from the order because he misses Regulus so much and just can’t do the slipping away and the excuses and hiding things from his parents, his best friends, etc etc. He just wants Regulus, so he ends up buying an apartment that his friends don’t know about and asks Regulus to move in with him. Regulus says yes, for some reason that he doesn’t name but he does because he can’t stand to be in his mothers presence ((she’s probably going insane or something???)) so Regulus reasons that he said yes because he wants away from her but “not because I like James”.)

to lovers (where James just says I love you one day, sending Regulus into a crisis and a little panic when he all of a sudden names that feeling that he feels for James which is most definitely love. So he fucks James about it because “how dare you make me love you” and James just ahhhh he melts because angry Regulus who loves him??? Ahhh yes.)

Anyway, at some point Regulus would tell James about the horcruxes and how he has been hunting them and James helps him. James would drop all contact with his friends and family and just throw himself completely into loving Regulus (which is has come to realise he is insane about. Like he would also kill for Regulus.) he wouldn’t take the mark just because I think that’s a line he wouldn’t cross (or he could take it for Regulus because he is possessive and wants to share how crazy he is for him. Regulus ofc is the very same. Slightly more insane and Voldemort would live for it. Regulus and James, his right hand men. Bellatrix and other high ranking death eaters are like soooo jealous but Jegulus is untouchable basically.)

So yeah, James would take the mark for Regulus and they’d be the worst of the worst together all while tearing apart Voldemort’s empire from the inside.

They’d kill the death eaters off bit by bit. Dwindling their numbers but Voldemort already has the ministry under his control so he isn’t at all worried.

They also find all the horcruxes together, using the invisibility cloak when necessary. And destroy all of them.

That’s when he becomes worried.

The inner circle has a meeting. Regulus and James didn’t kill off any of the members apart of it. However, this particular meeting is being held at Grimmauld Place, unaware of the wards protecting Regulus and James (because Regulus added him to the protection wards whilst also removing everyone else so it’s just the two of them).

It’s at this meeting that Regulus and James reveal what they did. And they formally duel Voldemort. The rest of the death eaters stay out of it because their master told them to (much to Bella’s annoyance) and eventually, Regulus or James casts the final spell and kill the dark lord. Then ofc they kill of the inner circle. Bathing themselves in blood because who doesn’t love a bloody Jegulus.

Anyway, the two take Tom Riddles corpse and apparate to Potter Manor. Now since James is still the heir, they get past the wards.

“I’m home!” James would shout, walking into the living room finding his parents, wolfstar, pandamarylily, dorlene, with their wands out ready to defend themselves. That is until Regulus drops the dead body in the middle of the room.

Chaos, immediately. James and Regulus look at eachother and Regulus just laughs hysterically while James looks at Regulus like he wants to devour him.

So he does, once Regulus finishes laughing, the make out right over the corpse whilst people around them panic.

Regulus then takes James and they disappear into the night, never to be heard from again (or are they??)

So yeah, Dark Jegulus AU, enemies to lovers.

for @jegulus-microfic's prompt, morals. (244 words)

lowkey obsessed with this

James sneaks up behind Regulus, snaking his hands around his waist and leaning his head on his shoulder.

“Mm, smells amazing, Reggie,” he sighs. Regulus is sauteing some mushrooms in a pan as part of their dinner. James will never get sick of Regulus’ cooking. “I would say you’re a wizard in the kitchen, like muggles do, but I think that would be a bit silly.” Regulus chuckles, leaning back into James’ chest.

“I suppose it would be.”

“Are those morals?” James asks, trying to impress Regulus. He laughs in reply.

“Morels, love, morels. Morals are what you gave up to be here, mon amour.” James chuckles darkly, reaching down to lift up Regulus’ sleeve, exposing his forearm.

“That I did.” James lifts up his lover’s arm, tracing a finger over the black tattoo, the snake restlessly slithering in the skull’s mouth. James reaches down and places a kiss on the mark. “I don’t regret it for a second.” Regulus smiles.

“Good, because there’s no going back now,” he adds, tracing James’ mark through his shirt. James is obsessed with the shiver the touch sends over his body. He turns Regulus around, kissing him roughly, his arm swaying dangerously towards the flame.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” James says against Regulus’ lips. Regulus bites his lip and smirks.

“Love, the morals are burning,” he jokes under his breath. James laughs softly again.

“My morals burned long ago, cariño.”
