Pretty as a Picture
Jegulily fluff
I wrote a lil something based on this lovely art piece by @green-lights-33. It's so beautiful that my brain couldn't let it go. So here we are. Enjoy :)
Light spilled in from the window, casting the bathroom in gold as the sun continued its descent through the sky. Lily's boyfriends were a picture of beauty: James' dark skin glowing amber, and Regulus' gray eyes smoldering in the light.
Regulus was sat behind James on the counter, pressed into his back. He'd wanted a front row seat to learn Lily's top makeup tips.
“Make me pretty,” James grinned at her, all full lips and honeyed charm.
Lily swayed forward as if pulled on a string, gripping onto Regulus' leg to steady herself. She felt it down to her toes. The undeniable pull. The knowledge that she would do anything, go anywhere for these two.
Luckily, all James was asking for was help with his winged eyeliner.
She’d tried to teach him how to do it himself, but he always came back pouting. “It’s just better when you do it.” And when he pushed out his lip and gave her those puppy dog eyes, how could she say no?
Regulus kissed the side of James’ neck. “You’re already pretty, mon amour.”
James huffed. “Well, prettier then.”
“You’ll be the prettiest one at the party,” Lily promised, leaning in to kiss the corner of his mouth.
She focused on making the line straight, and getting the perfect angle for the wing. But Lily could feel Regulus’ gaze heavy on her, watching her face, following the curve of her neck and shoulder, down to her waist, where James’ hand rested. Lily felt his attention like a brand, her body buzzing with it. She wanted to throw the makeup across the room and kiss Regulus right there, James crushed between them.
“Aren’t you supposed to be paying attention?” Lily asked instead.
Regulus smiled, slow and salacious. “Oh, I am.”

jegulily with older harry headcanons <3
• first off, to set the record straight, if harry was raised by jegulily, this boy would know he’s bi right off the bat. he’d be more aware that his type is quidditch players (Oliver Wood, Ginny, Cedric Diggory, Cho Chang, Draco, whatever floats your boat)
• harry would always go to regulus to talk about crushes because he knows reg will just listen and be supportive.
• harry goes to james when he wants to talk about his freinds, because his papa managed to have the best freinds in the world
• and lily. oh lily <3 harry would go to lily for a momma’s hug. he’d go to her for all of life. when he has troubles. when he doesn’t know what to do. because she had such a clear head and knew what he was going through.
• lily would owl him at least once a week, because she grew up wishing that petunia would send at least one letter. and she wants harry to feel loved.
• when harry brought home hermione, lily instantly loved her. a muggleborn brightest witch of her age? hell yeah. that was lily too!!
• harry’s freinds would frequently owl regulus about relationship advice or just for someone to talk to. regulus doesn’t know why. what did he ever do to get kids to like him? why do all these kids keep sending him owls??? “HARRY WHAT ARE YOU TELLING YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT ME???! WHY ARE ALL YOUR FRIENDS SENDING ME OWLS????!”
• james gave harry the marauders map and cloak, much to reg and lily’s dismay. (because they know what james got up to with access to those highly magical items.)
• harry would definitely learn to become an animagus at like age 15.
Imagine jegulily where reg is silently working against voldy for a while before the cave (possibly alongside Severus? Or maybe they're set on different goals idk it depends on if you think they'd get along) and as his partners, James and Lily are the only two who know what he's doing
We know he dies around the time they find out Lily is pregnant with Harry (you see where we're going here?) she tells them both around a week after finding out and debating what to do and they're all nervous but decide they want to keep him because it's something that can be theirs
Regulus then goes through a silent crisis and decides the progress is too slow, the baby will be born and they will still be losing the war. He's panicking trying to think of something he can do to make a difference. So when Kreacher returns in pain with a story to tell, he decides then and there that he is not going to let this baby grow up in a world of hatred. It doesn't matter if he dies, his partners will be better parents than him anyway. He goes to the cave determined to finish this by himself so his, Lily's, and James' baby can grow up in a world away from danger and hatred. As we all know, he never leaves the cave.
And his partners wait for him to come back from wherever he disappeared to but he never does. Lily is the one to figure it out first. James takes a while longer. They can't tell anybody else or it may compromise their position in the order so they stick together; Lily helping James unload his emotions as the one who'd been certain they were all making it out alive, and James making sure Lily and Harry were as safe as possible because he was paranoid of losing anybody else he held in his heart. They grow even closer than they were before and when they go into hiding they are rarely not in the same room even when they drive each other mad. Harry is born and they consider naming him after his other father but decide it would only cause trouble with the others.
They agree that when they make it out of the war, they will find out what truly happened to him, and then if the next baby is a girl, her middle name shall be Lily. If it's a boy it will be Leo.
October 31st 1981 comes around and they never get the chance to have that second baby.
Meaning yet another parental figure sacrificed themselves for Harry but this time it was before he was even born.
Harry- 0
Dead parental figures- 5
jegulily my loves <3
One of my favourite things about jegulily is that regardless of who got together first, once they agree to be poly, they all get to watch each other fall in love
Like James gets to watch them slowly realise they love all the same books, he gets to see them gradually fall into the routine of reading something together each night then discussing it over breakfast the next day. He gets to make breakfast for them while they giggle together over the most recent chapter and jokingly play out funny scenes for him. He gets to see the joy in their eyes when they have slightly different opinions on the book that they can debate and pick apart
Lily gets to see them both figure out that they share gift giving as a language, she already knew because the tried to pamper her whenever they could but she waits for them to realise it themselves. She watches as James brings a very miserable, sick regulus a basket of gifts and regulus buys any little thing he sees that he thinks James might like and they slowly understand that their way of expressing love is mirrored
Regulus gets to watch his partners fall into a habit of jokingly making fun of each other before they've even realised they do it. They'll all be out on a hike and Lily will grab him as if she's going to push him into the lake. James will 'accidentally' mismatch her socks just because he thinks it's cute when she scowls and tries not to laugh at it
I love them being all happy and domestic :(
There's jegulily hate all over tiktok rn and as ur the person who has drawn art of them that I literally think about all day EVERY DAY I need to ask if you have any hcs for them to help me forget about it 😭🙏
Ughhh I hate tiktok so much 😒.
And ofc! This will be very much ramble as I don't often write my hc down 😅.
Lily and regulus first bonded over their favourite muggle classics, usually debating on which author was better lily thinking dostoevsky (she's right) and regulus thinking Tolstoy.
James and regulus cuddle a lot as regulus runs cold and james warm. Lily struggls to cuddle a lot as she has claustrophobia. She sleeps in the second bed a lot...(she also does it so regulus dosnt have to as he also has claustrophobia but hates sleeping alone.)
Lily and james cook together every night. Regulus isn't allowed in the kitchen
Regulus live language is gift giving but in the sense he will remember your favourite flowers and buy you them. James is a physical touch guy. Lily Is a acts of service girly.
Lily and regulus had to unlearn a lot of thing due to their sibling trauma. James struggled to understand it but tried to help.
Regulus drinks almost black coffee. James drinks full black coffee and lily hates coffee and drinks tea.
When they had harry regulus refused to be the bio father, he never told then why but he's biggest fear was passing down the black family madness.
Lily and regulus looked after a garden they made together.
Lily and regulus never talked much to their families so they all saw the potters as their family
Sometimes I black out and wake up to find that I spent the last (checks tablet screen time) …four hours doing highly rendered jegulily art
Something something pupils are the windows to your soul something something

Lily and Regulus both loves bookstores, and James loves them, so he doesn't mind that they like to spend too much time here.
James is right there, with bags of other goodies in hand, slowly following his partners as they have a goal of going through every aisle of fiction in their impossibly huge bookstore. From time to time, one of them picks up a book and reads the annotation out loud, comments on the cover design, or simply points to the spine saying, “I've seen reviews of this, we should try it,” or “I heard it's terribly written, don't even look at it.”
Eventually, they find themselves standing in front of shelves with incredibly beautiful editions of world classics, looking at books they have read several times, but still love so much that they are happy to turn the pages right there and look for their favorite moments.
James himself is drawn to the comics and art books section, looking for something new for his gaming collection. He flips through the pages of the latest magazines; looks at the price tags, and horrified, puts the art book he wants back on the shelf, thinking he'll buy it some other time. But later, at the checkout, he sees Regulus paying for a stack of their new books and Lily for the same artbook, just ceremoniously handing the purchase to James with a big smile, while Regulus gently kisses him on the cheek.

“Wait, wait, okay but listen—” James suddenly said into the dark. His whisper hung in the air, and the bedsheets ruffled as he turned to face the shapes of them both.
Lily and Regulus groaned in unison.
“James, love,” Lily yawned, “please to go sleep.”
“Okay but here’s an important question. When I ask you to marry me—”
“When you do??”
“James. You’re not going to ask us to marry you?”
“Well, yes of course I will some day, my starlight and sunflower, but—” Lily squeaked, and James hands shot up to catch her arms before she was going to hit them both in the face, “but no, not before I figure this out, you see.“
"Oh the betrayal.” Regulus deadpanned, gazing at the canopy.
“Let me talk! So you know I’ll have to get two rings, right? One for each one of you. And so would I be holding out two ring boxes? like one in each hand?”
Regulus let out a snort that melted into breathy chuckles, and Lily groaned, covering her eyes with her free arm.
“Would I need to be on both knees? Because you know, proposing to one person takes one knee and—”
“Alright James we get it,” Regulus said. Lily had started giggling. “Lily! Stop encouraging him!” Though there was amusement clear in his voice.”
“And— and,” James continued, “how do I put the rings on for you? I’ll have to start practising one-handedly taking the ring from the box— and doing that on both hands at the same time. That’ll be a lot of hand— eye— coordination—”
Regulus looked over. James was punctuating his words with kisses to Lily’s ring finger. He smiled before scoffing faux-sulkily, and leaned up on his elbow to bat her hands away from James, until Lily turned around to him, eyes twinkling with exasperation and gave him a kiss on the lips. Regulus grinned.
“No, Merlin, also—”
“James please shut up—”
“No listen! What about when we take our vows? When they say ‘now you may kiss’, who do I get to kiss first?”
“Neither of us, obviously.”
“I’m kissing Reg first.”
Regulus and Lily said at the same time, and they broke into shared giggles.
“Oh, go to sleep now, you idiots.” Lily said, after they’d calmed down and collapsed back onto the bed, hands entwined and huddled close. “Love you,” she whispered.
“Love you.” They echoed. And slowly, three sets of breaths evened out in tandem.

Jegulily raising Harry is one of my fav things, esp with little baby Harry and Lily tolerating no shit from her anxious partners
Like: Lily handing baby Harry over to Regulus for the first time after he spent the last month of her pregnancy silently stressing about how awful a father he was going to be because he was scared of frightening the baby or brainwashing him, just like his parents did to him. He keeps it quiet because obviously Lily’s struggles and needs are greater and he would rather die than take the attention away from his wife when she's supposed to be the important one. He tries his best to hide it but they both notice. When Lily is recovering from birth, Regulus tells her how proud he is and then chooses to make himself busy by gathering things for her and making sure she's as comfortable as she can be but they both know he's somewhat stalling having to interact with the baby. James holds Harry while she gets some rest and eats something and the two of them sit together cooing at him and guessing whose features they think he'll grow to have. Meanwhile, Regulus is fussing over the flowers in the vase on the bedside table.
They both try to lure him over, James tries to rub his back to calm him down and make him sit but in the end it's Lily that gets through to him. James cares a lot, he'll say what he thinks Reg or Lily want to hear bc it makes them happy, but Lily is different. She rarely says things she doesn't wholeheartedly mean. So when she demands that he sit down at her side and take a minute to calm down, he does. He starts apologising for stressing her out when she's vulnerable and tired and she just hands Harry over, knowing he'll instinctively grab anything she hands to him. She wouldn't have done it if she wasn't completely sure he could manage it but it still seems to come out of nowhere to him and James. She hands him over and Reg just goes into shock, looking down at the little face of his baby for the first time.
They sit in silence for a while as he holds him, still having no idea what to do. Harry doesn't wake up or make a single sound. Only when he needs to be fed does Lily take him back and James moves over to rest a hand on the shoulders of each of his partners, almost brought to tears by the beauty of the moment.
