James Potter falls into the past. And, despite his best efforts, he also falls in love.

Regulus expected to find his brother after tracking him and a hunter down, instead he found James, dying.

He doesn't want to help him, he really doesn't. He does anyway. One problem, James can't keep any blood down.

“I’m going to Alaska for five months,” Regulus explains.

“Alaska?” James clarifies. “That’s cool. What’s over there?”

“A lighthouse,” Regulus answers, and then he looks at Sirius, who is biting the inside of his cheek, clearly antsy. “Can I show you?”

Or – After almost drowning and gaining a deep fear of large bodies of water, Regulus Black wants to take back control of his life which entails taking care of a decommissioned lighthouse in Southeast Alaska for the summer—but not without the company of James Potter.

During a run-in with infected James gets separated from his group. Regulus who's doing his daily rounds just so happens to find him in a nearly collapsed building, and despite his best judgment with a bit of arm pulling he invites James to stay with him as he heals.

They both have been running since Outbreak Day, trying to chase away their guilt, it takes finding each other to finally take a break from it all

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Jegulus Big Bang!

We are so excited to be bringing this fest to jegulus, and hope you guys will come along for the ride.

A big bang fest is an almost two decade old tradition throughout fandom, with its aim to bring writers and artists together to collaborate to tell one story in multiple formats.

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a big bang, here’s a brief description! These fests usually run for several months, typically with the goal to write a novel length works. An author will write a fic, in our case with a minimum word count of 20k, and provide a summary anonymously to the artists who sign up. The artist will then choose a summary that speaks to them, and they will create a piece (or multiple) of fanart as a companion piece to the fic.

Our hope for this big bang is to not only encourage authors and artists to try something new, but to help the community as a whole to connect with each other in a way we might not have before!

The mods have been working on this for a long time, and we are so delighted to be bringing it to you all now. We can’t wait to see what you will create!

Hello everyone!

After the success of Jegulus Big Bang 2024, we are back for a new run opening this month! We decided to move the schedule up a bit this year, as a lot of our deadlines overlapped with the holiday period and we are hoping an earlier timeframe will make it easier for those participating!

The blog has been updated with the new schedule, if you were wondering when deadlines will be, and sign ups will open on March 15th!

There have been some changes this year! As this is our second run, all author's who sign up will need to provide a link to a completed minimum 20,000 word fic that they have published (this can be for any fandom).

Another important change is the mod team. I am so appreciative of all the work the mods put into the last run, the Big Bang wouldn't have existed without them, and I am sad to see them go (though hopefully they'll still be joining us in the fest, just in a different capacity)! This run I (Shan @pissmotif) will be returning as a mod, with Em (@emlovessid) joining the mod team for the first time!

We look forward to seeing what you all create this year, and are so excited to be bringing it back for a second round!

Sign ups are open!

Hello and welcome back to the Jeg Big Bang for our 2025 run!

As this is our second run, all authors signing up will need to have previously published a completed 20,000 word fic at the time of sign up.

The server will have writing and art resource sheets available to all participants, Sketch Bingo for Artists, and Sprintathons for Authors and Betas! There is a competition running through the duration of the event, with a prize for each position in the fest.

To sign up, please fill out the form that applies to you at one of these links:

AUTHOR | ARTIST | BETA

You are able to sign up as both an author and a beta; but you will need to fill out both sign up forms! Artists are restricted to only signing up as an artist at this stage; however, any authors or betas who wish to put their hand up as a pinch hitter, should we need one when it comes art submission, are welcome to.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to this blog or the mod team directly. A welcome email will be sent within 48 hours of your sign up, with a link to the discord server (joining the server is mandatory for participation in the fest.)

We look forward to creating with you!
