None of this will matter

Hiii,

I’ve seen this jegulus fic get recommended so many times and I really want to read it. However, the formatting is so weird and I wanted to know if anybody else also experienced that. Like sometimes there are huge space gasps in between words, completely at random, and it genuinely freaks me out to the point where I’m not sure if I’ll be able to read it like that.
My eyes are already not great, so this is just horrible for me. Is there anyway (idk download?) to get a different kind of formatting? And if not, is the story that good to just push through it?

Thanks for your help!

Fics about the first wizarding war

Hiiii,

just like the title says: are there any good fics about horcrux hunting, jegulus and the first wizarding war? I would love some recs that aren’t only the brave or hold your tongue.
Otherwise I’m open for everything!

Any good niche fanfics?

Heyyy,

I need some new jegulus fic recommendations. I’ve already read all the popular ones (Otb, Cr, etc.) and every time I ask for new fics/recommendations, I feel like mostly the famous fics get recced. So are there any smaller/niche fics you guys can recommend?? Fics I might not have heard before?

I prefer longer fics and no Mcd, but everything else is completely fine with me. I also don’t mind wip.

My brother doesn’t want to be part of our family life anymore

Hii,

this whole topic is giving me a lot of grief in the moment, and I just have to let it all out. Maybe there are also a few people, who can give me some advice on how to handle all this.

My brother (15) and I (16) always had a close relationship. We used to share a room up until we were around 10/11 and we also share the same birthday (a total coincidence; we are not twins). Even when we didn’t share a room anymore we were still close, but once I started going through puberty I wanted to be left alone most of the time. Whenever he came into my room and wanted to do something, I declined and sent him out. I deeply regret that now, but I was also going through something, so I’m trying not to be too hard on myself.

Rest assured, last year I was on an exchange year and didn’t see my family for 9 months (excluding when they came for Christmas) and even though I’ve heard my brother was struggling through my parents and sister, I wasn’t at all prepared. My brother was very explosive and would give our parents a hard time about literally anything. Once my mom dared to to „double-dip“ to which he said that wasn’t all allowed. So my mom just put a huge spoon of the dip on her plate and my brother got so mad at it. And that was literally the first or second day of the trip, which really upset me as I had hoped we could at least have some peace until Christmas.

Well, my brother was on his phone A LOT, always scrolling whenever he didn’t have anything else to do, instead of talking to me. At night then he would always complain about his looks and how he thought he was too fat and all that, which isn’t at all true. He isn’t fat nor overweight or anything at all. But it got so bad that he had a whole meltdown about it.

Anyways, ever since I came back from my year abroad, it seemed better. He was still explosive about even the tiniest things (I’m pretty sure he is angry about different stuff and those are the things that trigger him so much, he lets everything that festered in him, out), and changing his moods so often. He is so unpredictable and I almost always have no idea where I stand. One minute he tells me that he loves me and that I’m his favorite sister, the other he is mad because I borrowed a t-Shirt from him without giving it back immediately. But he didn’t say that, so like what?

He does the same thing with my parents, especially my mom, because he always gets into fights with her (my dad doesn’t, because he hates shouting and fighting in general). On one hand he tells her he likes living with her, but then the next day he’ll ask if he could move out into a separate apartment?? And sometimes he even threatens to call the child protective service, because my mom and dad fight a lot. Maybe too much, but that’s not something I can safely judge. I don’t care too much about it and just try to sway out of their way, whenever they have an argument that could turn into a fight.

Even though, my sister and I try telling him that that’s not a solution, he just keeps telling us that he doesn’t even mean it. Still, he always says that to my parents.

Now, he doesn’t come down to breakfast anymore, because he goes to bed late and doesn’t wake up before twelve most of the time. Yesterday he didn’t even want to eat dinner with us, because there were onions on his pizza, my mom came late for dinner and I wore the shirt I borrowed from him. He said he didn’t want to eat anymore with us.

He is always in his room and only comes down to eat or pee. When I ask him if he wants to do something he always declines, because he rather plays on his computer.

I’m just so tired of all of this. Whatever I do or don’t it seems to be the wrong thing. And when I try to talk to him or let him explain why he is mad, I’m always sure he doesn’t tell me the truth and there is more to it then onion on pizza.

What am I supposed to do as his older sister? How can I get through my angry brother?

Do you guys like Carpe Noctem?

In my search for any good Seer Regulus (+ Jegulus )fics, I got recommended this.

So, I started reading this (till chapter three maybe), but it didn’t fully convince me. Don’t get me wrong, the writing is great and I’m not going to go around spreading hate about this fic, there were merely some things I didn’t like. However, I would still like to read this, so maybe you guys can convince me to start it again.

I remember stopping it, because Regulus was described as a mundane student, who wasn’t at all special. And because my regulus headcanon is that Regulus is smart, badass and strong, I didn’t know what to think about it.

Is Regulus a badass character in this fic? Do I just have to read a bit further and see what happens?
Maybe tell me some things you liked/loved about this fic, so I will be convinced to pick it up again :))

What are your favorite jegulus fics?

Hii lovely people,

I need some recs. nothing has been really grabbing my attention lately. I start fics and stop or read great wip and have to wait for chapter updates.

so I really need some new recommendations. it doesn’t matter if it’s an au or if it’s in the wizarding world, I’ll read anything (except MCD, my poor heart can’t handle that) and I would really like to know what your all time favorite fics are.

doesn’t matter if they are wip or lesser known fics, but for me the longer the better :))

thank you already!

I don’t know what to do after a fight with my mother

Hi,

so this is my first time posting and I am really really angry at my mother and don’t know what to do/ how to react.

So to start, my brother (15 y/o) has been getting into many fights with my mom recently. Essentially he keeps telling her that she is toxic and a bad mom, which I wouldn’t necessarily agree with. Yes, she can be quite mean and wrong sometimes, but that doesn’t mean that she is outrightly toxic.

Anyways, he keeps threatening to call the child protecting service (?, I’m not American, so sorry if that’s wrong, but basically he says he is going to call somewhere to tell them that his parents are treating him badly), because my mom tends to scream and fight a lot with my dad. I’ve always hated that and as a child it used to impact me a lot as I thought they would get a divorce after every fight.

Now, I can clearly see that my mom suffers under immense pressure from work and tends to let it fester inside of her and then scream it all out, once she reaches a breaking point. So, if she is already stressed and my dad does something she doesn’t like, she will freak out and just start screaming. Whenever she isn’t stressed already, she doesn’t do that.

As much as I don’t like it, I can understand her and have enough empathy not to hate her for it, even if it used to give me a lot of anxiety (not anymore, I’m kinda used to it).

Apparently my brother absolutely can’t understand it and tells her every single time they fight how toxic she is and how he will call someone, because she fights and screams a lot, and how the only solution might be that she moves out.
Normally stuff like this doesn’t get to my mom easily, as she understands how teenagers can be sometimes and say things they might not mean.

In the past I was always mad at my brother for being so disrespectful and genuinely saying things that are overreacting and just straight up mean. Like I get that he is mad, but he lets it all out in a way, where it seems like he feels he is absolutely entitled to do so, even if he is a teenager and they are his parents and they are not horrible people most of the time. But I stopped fighting with him about that (he kept telling me that I’m “glazing” my mom, just because I understand her), because it was just no use, and only impacted my relationship with my brother badly.

Well now, my mom has been shutting down and said stuff like, she won’t relay on us anymore, or ask us for help, because if she does, she will only start screaming if we don’t do the stuff she wants us to do (it’s mainly my brother, who never does the stuff she tells him to do) and I just don’t know what to do. It seems like she is going to stop being involved in family life and will let others organise important things, and maybe that’s only her reaction now and she will eventually stop behaving like this, but it genuinely freaks me out and I just think it’s so unfair to me, because I never talked to her like my brother or called her toxic, but she keeps saying that she will stop swallowing everything “we” say about her and just stop doing stuff in general.

Like I try to help and understand her, but it’s never enough and she keeps saying how nobody helps her and how she won’t ask for it anymore, but in her entire life she has never really asked for help and then screamed at us for not helping. For example this morning she was vacuuming the house and I asked if I should do it and she said no, and that’s always how it is. I feel this immense pressure in not doing enough, because that’s what she has always said her entire life. But whenever I try to help, she doesn’t acknowledge it at all and never sees it. For a while I did the cooking in the evening time, while my father was working and my mom too tired to do anything after school (she is a teacher), and she never really said anything about that or expressed her gratitude, which she doesn’t have to. I just hate that she only ever focuses on the stuff I don’t do, instead of the things I’m trying to do.

Anyways, I know this is a long post and I’m really thankful for anybody who is reading and maybe listening, because I don’t really have anybody else to talk about, not my brother or father, and I don’t like talking to my friends about stuff like this. I also don’t necessarily know if this belongs in this community, but it was the only one I found that deemed fit for this.

So yea, hope you have a lovely day :)

Fics where James is together with Lily and Regulus is in love

Hiii,

are there any good fics, where James is together with Lily and doesn’t realise that Regulus loves him at first?

Like I really need an angsty, jegulus endgame, slowburn fic with a heartbroken Regulus. I don’t mind wip, but I do prefer longer, over 100k fics.

Thank you!

Why is there never any jegulus in wolfstar fics?

Hiii, how are you?

I’ve been part of the marauders fandom since the beginning of may and I started out reading ‘only the brave’ first, because I wanted to see all the hype around jegulus.

Now I have the problem that I’m completely obsessed with the ship and I’m not sure if I really want to read any jily ships. I know that’s the beauty in fanfiction that you can read every ship and imagine different scenarios and characters together, but I just love jegulus so much!

I would love to read more wolfstar-centric fics like TCOPTP or all the young dudes (I know it’s a crime that I haven’t read this ✋) but I really don’t want to read any jily.

So my question: why aren’t there any wolfstar fics with Jegulus as a side ship? Like isn’t it the more queer ships the better? I love seeing Lily paired with Mary or pandora. But why does everyone in the wolfstar fandom hate James and Regulus?

I really don’t get it and I want to know why. And also, are there ANY wolfstar fics with Jegulus as a side ship? I would love to read more about Sirius and Remus, but also James and Regulus

Posted my first fic - Sign of the Times (You look pretty good down here)

Hi, how are you doing beautiful people?

I just posted my first ever fic (8k one shot) inspired by the song ‘Sign of the Times’ by harry styles.

It’s basically- what if the world was ending and where and to who would you go first?

It has black brothers angst, major character death and hurt/comfort. If this is anything that might interest you, I would love if you check out my first work!!

I hope the self-promo isn’t too annoying :))

Jegulus yearning

Hiiii,

I’ve been watching the office with my family (great show btw) and I love Pam’s and Jim’s dynamic and especially their relationship and I would really like to read that as Jegulus if you know what I mean :)

What I mean exactly: I love the yearning and I love how they are equally pining on each other while knowing they can’t be together because there is always someone in the way

I would love to read James having Lily as a girlfriend and regulus being so in love but knowing he can’t have James or regulus being together with someone, it doesn’t really matter

I just want to see the pain of them longing for each other and a massive slow burn because of that

So does anybody have any fic recs with a similar dynamic? I don’t mind wip but I love to read LONG fics with a happy ending

Thanks already!

THE jegulus fics

What are like THE jegulus fics in this fandom?

Obviously we have ‘All the young dudes’, which is the fic everybody knows and has read when it comes to wolfstar

So what would you say is a fic like that in the jegulus community?

Fics similar to ‘Only the Brave’

Only the brave was my first ever Jegulus fic and nothing has really satisfied me since.

I’d really like a similar fic, where Regulus is mean and powerful, and James utterly gone for him

I’m not the biggest fan of emo Regulus; I much more prefer when he is angry and mean and powerful, which is exactly what I’m looking for right now!

I don’t care if the fic is a wip but I really only want fics with happy endings, because I can’t deal with anything else.

Thanks!! :)

Please read the fic “his right hand”

So on my search for a good seer Regulus fic, I found “his right hand” by villain_crown, and omg I’m in LOVE

the author is basically writing about all the Hogwarts years Regulus and Sirius attend from 1st year to 7th. Right now the fic already has 132k words spanning over 1st to 2nd year.

I love love love the writing style and the characterization of every person; like it’s all so thoughtful and everybody has so much depth. I love seeing how all the friendships happen and ESPECIALLY Regulus and Sirius, because obviously in the beginning they’re still open about their love with each other.
The author did so well writing about the codependency of them and I’m already excited to continue the story

Although it’s a wip, the last update was at the end of June and the author said they needed a bit more time fixing everything up and then posting about third year, so I don’t think the author is just going to stop writing

So please please read this and if anybody else has any good fics like this, I’d love to read them

Would anybody be interested in reading this?

Hi, im really new to this whole fandom but I’ve become obsessed with Jegulus really quick and now I’m thinking about writing a fanfic.

I saw an instagram post of an artist who drew Regulus and James in a somewhat summer setting and it reminded me so bad of call me by your name that I got inspired to write it.

I’m about 13k words in and I already know its going to be a long fic, that takes place over many summers (so it’s not really call me by your name, just very much summer vibes) and it will deal with depression, being queer and I just overall want it to be a coming of age story.

I will probably start posting it if I have the main plot complete and when I almost finished writing it.

I just wanted to know beforehand if anybody is interested in reading this and if there are things you would like to see in my fic.

For now I just have the title: call me by the sun and I’ll call you by the stars

How do I become part of an already existing friend group?

Hi!!

I changed schools at the end of our school year (there are multiple reasons for that) and I don’t know anybody in this school because my family and I moved somewhere completely different.
While I’m not one to be bad at making friends, I am really struggling here.

The teachers put me one of three school classes and obviously everybody knows each other already. Almost all of the girls went into the same primary school and are really close with each other (also with the girls in the other classes). It’s basically one massive friend group, where some know each other better and some less. And the girls are all really nice and welcoming so far!! I’ve been walking with this one girl, who is part of that big friend group, and in the beginning she was really nice and showed me around everywhere. We talked a lot and she asked me questions and I asked her some. I would say I’m pretty good at small talk and just in generell normal conversation and not too shy. I ask questions and I’m genuinely interested in other people!
But well now she has been doing less and less with me. She probably thinks, I already know my way around and don’t need her guidance anymore, which is partly true: I can kinda find my way around.
But she was the first one I connected with and she is part of that friend group. I thought I could become part of that friend group through her, but now she doesn’t really give me any attention and rather talks with her other friends, which I understand of course, but that also makes me kinda sad, because it means she only talked to me in the beginning because I needed her help, not necessarily because she liked me.

Well with the other girls I can talk one on one but whenever I sit with multiple of the girls together, I don’t really know how to behave or to become part of the conversation. I try to say stuff but I never know if I’m overstepping or if they actually like talking to me.
Ive only been here for two and a half week and already next Friday we have summer holidays. Then next year there are going to be a lot more new students coming to this school, so logically I know I don’t have to worry too much, but it’s so new to me to not have good friends I hang out with. These new girls all talk about hanging out and the sleeping over they did yesterday. I know they don’t have to invite me and it would probably be weird of them to invite me, when they barely know me so far.
It’s just hard to listen to their plans and know that I’m just going to sit at home while they go swimming or whatever.

What are some good advises/things I could do in a situation like this?
