James is crumpled sheets, still warm when Albus climbs in, the window always open, letting in the chill of the night. Milk dribbled down the table from careless cereal bowls, muggy air and fogged mirrors after James's showers, the scent of him lingering. Golden smiles that light the room, brown eyes like liquid warmth, always glancing over with a cheeky "what's up, lil bro?", teasing and tender, drawing Albus in but never staying long enough to settle. Scarves loosely wrapped around necks in the crisp autumn air, noses red from chasing him through icy December skies, always flying ahead, always out of reach.
He's the sound of footsteps running through the house late at night, the spaces shifting and coming alive with him, huffed breaths that always wake Albus up. Fingers in his hair, rough and careless, ruffling the way only big brothers can. Boots kicked off by the door, a forgotten mess of clothes on the floor. The scrape of a chair pulled too hard at dinner, the smell of burnt toast on slow Sunday mornings. James is sunlight spilling through curtains that should’ve been closed, a voice calling out through the hallway.
There's always something left behind - a half-finished conversation, a stray laugh still hanging in the air.
Albus fears this longing will never leave, this endless want that quietly consumes him.

I'm Kou, and I created this blog to celebrate all things James Sirius Potter/Albus Severus Potter, aiming to unite all the Jalbus fans out there!
I've got *so many* thoughts on these two, and I'm ready to build a lil community where we can obsess, swap headcanons, and dive deep into all the emotions they bring out ✨
Some of the fics have dubcon and MCD. So definitely read the warnings.
Picked for variety in characters, tropes and writing styles.
No repeat pairings/authors
Like any rec list this is biased by my reading. Fics are arranged by length. Definitely follow Your Kink Is Not My Kink But Your Kink is OK.
AO3 Collection
 Sibling Rivalry
by inamac (2014)
Pairing - Narcissa/Bellatrix
Themes - voyeurism, pregnancy, exhibitionism, public sex, sex magic
Blurb - Death Eaters being Death Eaters (just another sex magic ritual). is the summary. That pretty much explains it. Voldemort is trying to make a sex-magic baby. At least that's what he says. Others are pretty sure he just wants to see pregnant ladies getting it on.
The candlelight shifted over the scene below, on the two naked, gravid, bodies on the bed, on the hooded figures surrounding it, and on the pale wand of the wizard commanding the gathering.
Why should you read it? Sex magic DE style. Probably the one PWP on this list.
 Of Silver and Spindle
by BelladonaLee (2021)
Pairing - Narcissa/Andromeda
Themes - unrequited, bittersweet
Blurb - Andy is getting married. Her parents try to talk her out of it. Narcissa is also sad about this because of a different reason. Before leaving Andy gives her good advice.
Once upon a time, Andromeda had said to her, "Let's run away together, Cissy." Young that Narcissa was, she had believed her older sister's words. In the end, however, Andromeda did not take her along when she left home.
Why should you read the fic? Andy's self confidence and Narcissa's timid nature are totally opposite. Andy knows Narcissa's secrets. That makes their dynamic interesting especially with the unrequited factor. Reading this fic gave me the idea to make an incest rec list!
 Spinning the World
by sdk (2013)
Pairing - James Sirius/Albus Severus
Themes - underage, dubcon
Blurb - Classic sleep sex premise. James thinks he is abusing his brother. But Al is pretending to sleep because he is trying to seduce James.
His breathing is too loud. It's harsh and ragged in his ears, like it belongs to someone else. He flips to his back and waitswaitswaits for Al to confront him, to call him sick, to go wake up their parents and tell them just how twisted their eldest son is.
Why should you read the fic? Slytherin Al and Gryffindor James. You can't go wrong with classic premises.
 Prowl
by Snegurochka (2010)
Pairing - Bill/Charlie
Themes - infidelity, angst
Blurb - Bill is married. He goes club cruising with Charlie.
"Just beers at the pub, yeah, is that what you told her?" Charlie's fingers finally got Bill's button open, and he reached into Bill's jeans without preamble.
Why should you read the fic? Snegurochka writes amazingly hot infidelity themed fics. This fic has serious sexual tension, frustrated Charlie, married Bill and hot smut.
 An Irrational Proposal
by Nimori (2010)
Pairing - Ron/Percy
Themes - Reconciliation
Blurb - Percy wants Ron to forgive him and help him patch stuff with their family. Ron isn't going to let it go just like that! He wants Percy to play a game. Yes, exactly that type of game.
"Do you love me, even though I'm a belligerent little wanker?"
"Yes." He didn't realize Ron knew what belligerent meant.
"Do I love you, even though you're a prissy git?"
"Yeah. Yes."
Why should you read the fic? Hot smut. It's got a sweet ending.
 My beamish boy
by eldritcher (2021)
Pairing - Albus/Aberforth
Themes - Dark, love, MCD
Blurb - Being Dumbledores they don't make it easy for each other. Albus has relationships with Gellert, Minerva and Severus. Aberforth gets involved with all three of them. I really love this Dumbledore incest by proxy. Of course it's got straight up incest also. Their collateral damage is pretty serious. A great Tom Riddle cameo. A lot of plot/time without a lot of words.
Albus speaks the language of outcasts as if he were one of you. He is not.
Why should you read the fic? This is a rare darkfic romance which balances intense themes and characterization without going into angst or drama. I love this fic's delicate construction. It's written based on Jabberwocky and has a lot of surreality. Beautiful second-person writing. It's literally poetry in some parts. I have been wanting to make an incest rec list for some time now. But this one finally got me motivated.
 Guiltier Than Him They Try
by pauraque (2005)
Pairing - Draco/Lucius
Themes - dark, dubcon, read the warnings on AO3.
Blurb - It won't be an incest rec list without Malfoycest! This fic is a Voldemort wins AU. Lucius is in charge. Draco is kind of mad. Lucius has Snape on the death row. Percy Weasley goes to change his mind. Lucius wants the Weasley booty because revenge on Arthur. Draco uses Percy's hair to make Polyjuice and sleeps with his father. Because.
'You'll hang for this,' he hisses, hurriedly dressing himself. 'You— and Weasley— and Snape!'
'Now, how can you say that, father?' Draco asks, lolling back over the edge of the bed so that he's looking at Lucius upside-down. 'You got what you wanted. We all got what we wanted, didn't we?'
Why should you read the fic? - This fic is beautifully constructed. I really love how it is dark without going angsty. Draco/Lucius isn't really my jam. But their dynamic in this fic is amazing. This is the kind of fic that can go wrong pretty quickly. The writing pulls off the impossible.
Blurb - An angsty fic about the Patil twins and their Sight. It flashes between their childhood and the war during DH. We know from the beginning how this is going to end. But it's impossible to stop reading because of how the angst just builds up slowly.
"I see death."
These days the possible futures have nothing to do with pretty clothes and handsome boys. Neither twin has seen anything but war or tragedy in months, for all that Padma periodically asks for a happy ending.
Why should you read the fic? - I really love the premise and how the fic increases its angst slowly like boiling a frog. If you like angst, this fic is for you.
 Masks
by MaxWrite (2005)
Threesome - Fred/George/Percy
Themes - underage, angst, Percy and his attitude
Blurb - Percy gets hot and heavy with the twins. Then he gets a promotion at his job and breaks up with his family. Being Percy he starts judging the twins for their dirtywrongbad incest. A really poignant look at the twins through Percy's eyes. He sees a lot. But he's also blind about a lot of things because of how much he wants to fit in and get social status.
Well, anyway, I gave them a little advice about how detrimental their relationship really is and about what they could do to break the habit. It is just habit, after all. Experimentation that got a little out of control. Clearly.
Why should you read the fic? - MaxWrite has the best Percy characterization I have read. I really love their darkfic Extraordinary Lengths Percy/Barty Jr which I recced before on the Rare Pairs list. In this fic we get the same brilliant Percy IC characterization but without the dark themes!
 7 Loves/7 Lives (I called you brother seven times)
by xylodemon (2006)
Pairing - Sirius/Regulus
Themes - Angst, general Black family bad ideas, mental health, MCD
Blurb - This fic opens with Sirius finding his brother's dead body. Being Sirius the way he shows his angst is by frottage on the body. That sets the tone. Classic Blackcest. Both Sirius and Regulus are sharp. They are kind of mad. Angst warnings!
He's black he thinks and the brother he never quite had is black unless the snow in the alley and the snake mean the brother is dead then the brother was black not is but he doesn't know what black means and the idea leaves him colder than the walls.
The fic ends with Sirius in Azkaban.
Why should you read the fic? - The characterizations in the fic are definitely more from the 2000s era, especially for Regulus. More raw/sharp compared to the softer Regulus characterizations today. There's lots of angst but like many Marauder era fics the angst is really beautiful.
