what are you favorite waterlily hcs?
you are my favorite person ever for asking this like i dont even know where to start im so excited i never get to talk about them
they are each other's all time favorite person to study with. they both get in this grind mindset that looks insane from the outside like they will do nothing but study for HOURS and neither of them are saying a peep. they are so locked in.
to me, regulus is naturally very kind and if lily was getting together with him, i think at this point, he would be working very hard to stay kind and i think lily would really look up to him for that. for example, i think that regulus would risk his own grade to help someone else if they were struggling and i do think lily would too but i think it would be more of a struggle for her and she would really look up to how reg wouldn't even question it before putting someone else first, you know?
i think that they would bring out the sweetest parts of each other. like the whole time they're hanging out they're talking about how much they love their friends and love each other
i think regulus fell in love with lily after 2 things: the first was just watching her speak really passionately about something. it could be literally anything. like from human trafficking to her favorite flavor of ice cream, she would talk about it so passionately and i think regulus would be so moved. the second was after seeing her interact with sirius. like lily and sirius are just soooo sister in law, brother in law vibes and regulus would see that and be like, yk what lily should be my brother's sister in law. like she was just so happy and snarky and just so cute and sexy and oh he's down so bad.
kind of what i was talking about earlier but lily falls in love after regulus does something really kind and he almost doesn't even realize that what he did was so kind but to lily it was astronomical
lily likes how soft spoken reg is too
on the flipside, lily LOVES drunk regulus. oh my god he loses all composure. he will say and do anything. he never sings but he'll sing. he never dances but he'll dance. and i think regulus is a good dancer like he looks hot asf. and he will literally not be able to stop with the pda like he just wants to keep touching lily in front of everyone. and he keeps telling her how much he loves her and her outfit and her voice and her shoes and her makeup and her face and her hair and her eyes and her
lily would read to regulus especially when he had trouble sleeping (i hc reg has insomnia) and he looooved her voice it's so calming to him
regulus also loves lily's teeth, they're so pretty and shiney
they snuggle where reg is always curled into her. no matter how she's laying, whether on her back or her side or her stomach or she sitting, he is curled up. there is almost nothing he loves more than being curled up in her lap, especially if she's reading
nsfw: they looooove going to down on each other. oh my god they love it. at any point they are both trying to go down on the other. i fw trans reg and cis reg but either way lily loves going down on him. lily breaths really heavily and sometimes almost whines and loves gripping his hair. reg pants. he is a panter. and he's always grabbing her tits. always. reg will start at lily's ankles and kiss all the way up her entire body going as slow as possible until lily is crying with anticipation and he's not even trying to edge her or anything he just wants to kiss every square inch of her body
anytime reg sees anything he thinks lily would like or would look good in or even vaguely reminds him of her he is immediately buying it
they're favorite dates are going out to coffee shops and they love just eating together in general because i feel like they have opposite tastes in the best way. like reg eats the cake, lily eats the frosting. lily eats reg's crust on whatever. lily eats the ice cream, reg eats the cone, etc
they love going to bookstores together. LOVE. reg LOVES lily's recommendations. he always cries while reading something she recommends because he loves her so much. sometimes, lily will give him annotated books and he really is crying because he's so grateful and excited. if he really loves something she annotated, he'll write it down in his notebook.
waterlily my babies, i love them sm i wish more people loved them
