The Urge To Write A Fic About The Black Brothers With Regulus Being Away From Sirius(cuz Of Circumstances)

The urge to write a fic about the black brothers with Regulus being away from Sirius(cuz of circumstances) and trying to get back to his brother while Sirius stays(OMG THE IRONY OF SIRIUS STAYING AND WAITING FOR REGULUS TO FIND HIM AND REGULUS RUNNING TO GET TO SIRIUS) at that one spot and waits for Regulus to get to him. And then Regulus finally found him after 20 something mins/hours/months/years(idk yet) and Naming the fic 'Argos' based on greek mythology, just because Sirius' animagus in canon is a dog

After Regulus finds him, we all know what happens.(if you read the odessey, at least:))

If you want to write a reg lives au remember that all the evidence we have on metamorphmagi hints towards it being hereditary

And he is related to the two only other known metamorphmagi in the main universe

So you could always use that!

Sirius:"So, how would you like to get your hair cut?"

Regulus:"preferably with scissors, but a sword could be badass"

James was the mum friend in a "wraps you in a soft blanket and makes you tea when you're not feeling well" way.

Sirius needed someone to love him.

Remus needed someone to accept him.

Peter needed someone to value him.

And James made sure each of them went to bed smiling.

Regulus was the mum friend in a "chasing you around the house screaming at you to not put forks in the plug sockets" way.

Evan had no regard for safety, his own or others.

Barty has no impulse control.

Pandora did dangerous experiments on a daily basis.

Dorcas would do just about anything if you paid her enough.

And Regulus was just trying to keep those fucking idiots alive.

the headcanon of regulus just being able to cry on command is horrifying but also the funniest thing i’ve ever fucking heard. like i imagine regulus is hanging out with the marauders, post black brothers reconciliation, and him and sirius are bickering and sirius JOKINGLY goes “well it’s not MY fault it’s impossible for you to show any emotion” and regulus blinks. and then just fully starts sobbing.

and james and remus and peter are all like ?!?!?! what the FUCK . RIGHTFULLY SO. and james’ heart is hurting so bad because he’s never seen regulus cry before and he’s trying to comfort him and hold him and regulus, (who is gay and a little shit) is just letting himself be hugged and letting james pet his hair or whatever and remus is like. sirius what the fuck apologize to your brother??????? because sirius has been sitting there the entire time unmoving and he just raises his eyebrows, completely unimpressed and deadpan when he goes, “you guys do know he’s faking right”. and then when remus and james both are like HUH??? torn between bewildered and angry with this reaction, regulus just extracts himself from james, face completely neutral but with tears drying on his cheeks, no sign of the heaving, hyperventilating sobs he’d fallen into literally a second ago and says “i win”. it terrifies peter so bad that he can’t look him in the eyes for a week

I think it’s incredibly fucked how capitalism discourages learning for learning’s sake. People will have interests they’ve spent years researching then say it’s “useless knowledge” bc it didn’t go towards a college degree and isn’t part of their job. Learning is never useless! Your brain is growing and developing throughout your whole life! People would never have epiphanies or sudden lightening strikes of creativity if they weren’t learning new things! That goes double for topics like science, politics, and history, which inform your understanding of the world you live in!
