#Sirius and regulus are cousins and brothers…

Sirius had left. He'd run straight to the arms of his friends, and left his brother alone.
Strangely enough, Regulus didn't feel betrayed. Maybe he should, but this was always bound to happen. He'd known it before he'd accidentally discovered that Lupin was a werewolf, before Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor, and even before Sirius had left for Hogwarts that very first time.
Sirius had been worried, then. Nothing he said in words, but he'd given him an awkward hug, pat his back, and pressed a kiss to his forehead. He'd looked into his eyes, questioning.
Will you be okay?
Regulus hadn't known, but he'd nodded nonetheless. His brother would be free. His brother would be happy. His brother could do no wrong.
Sirius's yearning for freedom had always been too strong, and now he'd found enough love amongst his friends to fill up the space their parents had left. Regulus knew deep down that he could have run too, either with Sirius or to Pandora's, but he was all too aware of the potential consequences.
If only one son ran? Then there'd be trouble with his parents and the Dark Lord, sure, but ultimately, Sirius would be labeled the nuisance, the disappointment, the disgrace. If both sons ran away? Then, the entire family was disgraced. Regulus was too scared of the Dark Lord for that to happen. He was scared of what might happen to his parents, his relatives, his cousins. Although his feelings about his parents were mixed, he didn't wish them harm. Narcissa, too, had deflected questions away from him far too many times.
Sirius hadn't realized any of this, he was sure. He remained blissfully unaware that if Regulus ran too, neither would be free. Their parents would never let that happen. Always impulsive and headstrong, Sirius was. And he was supposed to be the older brother. How odd. Regulus loved him.
Regulus thinks back to that silent question. Will he be okay?
He's not sure, even now, but like five years ago, he ignores his doubt, pushes it into the recesses of his heart, and nods, once, in the dark. Regulus doesn't know what he wants, and he doesn't have all the answers, but that night, he sleeps secure in the knowledge that somewhere out there, Sirius is safe.

Crimson Rivers thoughts pt. 23
chapter 40:
1. HE RETURNS THE FUCKING HAT
2. ☹️☹️ i want a dramatic pouting face. i’m so angry. reg wanted a stair seat for james in his house too, but now there’s no point. i- fhshdksjjsjdj MURDER TO RIDDLE
3. “Of course it is, because they're a great, big tragedy. That's what they are; that's what they've always been; that's all they'll ever get to be. There's no changing that now, no matter what they do, no matter how hard they try.” ☹️☹️☹️☹️🙁🙁🙁🙁 this is awful
4. they finally get each other, for sex, for kisses, of their own damn choice and will, and then in three days, one of their four family members will be back in that damn arena
5. “When Pandora arrives, she takes one look at Sirius and promptly bursts into tears.” NOOO MY BABY GIRL
6. “James had appeared at the top of the stairs, his hair a fucking mess and his shirt on inside-out, so Sirius had an idea of what he'd just walked in on even before James beamed at him and announced, "I just had sex with your brother. Four times."
He'd sounded so proud, too.”
😭😭😭 i love you so much james
7. “This morning, James had looked him dead in the eyes and said with no shame whatsoever, "I'm going to go spend all day having sex with your brother and pretending that everything isn't shit. We'll see you later, yeah?"
To that, Sirius could only sigh and reply, "Yeah."”
😭😭😭 i love james so much
8. “There's a beat, and then—the irony. Because of course. Not just once, not twice, but three fucking times, like he's fucking destined for it. He'd laugh, if he could breathe.
"Regulus Black."”
i am once again holding back tears on public transportation. i’m so angry
9. “Sirius hears his little brother's name, and he's sixteen again.”
i’m no longer holding back tears. i am fully crying
10. and once again, he volunteers. becuase its instinct. its love. promises be damned, there’s no stronger instinct to sirius than to protect his brother
11. “No, it comes down to mother and son now.” sobbing. sobbing so hard. this line fucking hurts more than you could ever know
12. 😧 regulus volunteered. regulus volunteered. it’s brother against brother. i. i. shit
13. “”It's already done, baby," Regulus whispers.
"You promised," James whimpers.
Regulus gives him a sad smile. "I lied."”
sobbing. deep sobbing. i am still on public transport
14. i hate that dora doesn’t understand the gravity of this situation. she just loves her cousin. and also, i love andy
15. authors notes are cruel. first one:
“well. sirius 🤝 regulus: being fUCKING LIARS.”
16. i can’t even begin to describe how upset I am. brothers pitted against each other, james and reg once again torn apart, james thinking he only gets one of his people back, either his other half, or the love of his life. and james being mad at regulus. their broken relationship. all of it. the angst is ANGSTY. zar. dude. why.

Remus: James… why do you have bite marks on your arms?
James: *sweating nervously* OH- oh, Urm I was babysitting my little cousin and- and he bites. haha.
Remus: *raises one eyebrow*
Sirius: *sympathetic* That sucks mate. Reggie was a fucking biter too- reckon I’ve still got scars from the little shit.
James: *quietly squeaks*
Remus: *raises the other eyebrow*
James: … I’ve got to go *absolutely bolts*
Sirius: what was that about?
Remus: *sighs* It would appear that you and James have the same cousin.

Regulus: Actually, it’s gonna bug me if I don’t-

Head canon that none of the Black cousins knew how to drive and so their respective partners attempt to teach them and it goes terribly wrong and most likely scares their partners for life.
Like just imagine;
James: Okay love, lightly push the gas pedal to start.
Regulus: Alright!:Absolutely floors it
....
Remus: alright, now what you want to do is make sure you check your mirrors before-
Sirius: I know Moony! Gods, you act like I'm an idiot.:Doesn't pay attention at all and nearly drives into a ditch-
....
Andromeda, already driving: And, which one is the break again?
Ted: *Has a panic attack*
....
Alice: Wow Cissa! You're doing suprising well, considering- :Looks over and notices Narcissa using the rearview mirror to fix her hair,:OH MY GODS, EYES ON THE ROAD!
....
Rita: Trixie, stop someone's trying to cross. Trixie. BELLATRIX STOP- OH MY GODS!
Bellatrix: oops!

As much as you hate her you have to admit Bellatrix would be that cousin that comes up with the most insane games that are so fun until someone (regulus) ends up crying for some reason

Everyone in Regulus's life knows he loves James Potter more than he ever loves himself. Regulus also knows that James will always choose Sirius and Lily over him. When James and Regulus broke up with no hesitation on James' part; Regulus left because he knew it himself that everyone he loved eventually leave him. He may love them but he has never been important or a priority to them (his brother, his cousins, his friends, and the love of his life).
Regulus gets caught by the death eaters and Voldemort because they discovered his betrayal and Reg laughs at Voldemort's face when he taunted him about killing him in public for all the wizarding world to see what would happen if you betrayed the dark lord. "I don't care if you kill me in public when no one will ever mourn me. They didn't care about me even before I was branded in your mark. You're just wasting your time."
What Regulus doesn't know is that Bellatrix and Narcissa (good cousins!!!) are making plans with his friends to save him which eventually leads them to contact Sirius and the others for help. Also, James and Sirius deeply regretted their actions towards Regulus and trying so damn hard to rescue him.

if you’re ever having a good day please just think about 8 year old sirius “we’ll always be brothers, reggie” black and 19 year old sirius “i’m so sorry i wasn’t there to save you, reggie. we were supposed to stay brothers. I was always supposed to protect you” black
and if you’re REALLY having a good day then please think about how 7 year old regulus, who grew up desperate for validation or affection from any of his family members and never gotten it probably hadn’t even believed him then, but had still cried Sirius’ name when he was 18 and being clawed apart underwater and desperately hoped his brother would finally be there to make good on his promises for once

the black cousins
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
all the hidden meanings!
colors:
red is the color of sirius’ shirt, narcissa’s lips and regulus’ pocket handkerchief. red represents how they rebelled against their family (sirius ran away and was openly against their morals, narcissa lied to voldemort and basically helped defeating him w her words, regulus turned against voldemort at the last moment, dying for his cause)
narcissa and andromeda are the only ones not wearing black, and they’re the only survivors in this picture.
clothes and accessories:
andromeda is wearing a white dress that resembles a bride’s dress, because she ran away to marry ted. her and sirius’s clothes are also less restricting than regulus and narcissa’s, because unlike their younger siblings they got their freedom.
andromeda, like her cousins, is wearing silver jewelry, aside from a gold ring (her engagement ring), and with her hand she’s covering a family pendant (she chose love over her family). regulus is wearing a pin that looks like salazar’s locket.
poses and such:
andromeda isn’t looking at the camera because she was the first to “look away from her family”, and sirius is looking at her because he would soon follow in her footsteps (andy also has a hand on his shoulder to further represent her influence on him). similarly, bellatrix (who is the only one smiling) is keeping an hand on narcissa so she wouldn’t leave. narcissa has a hand clenched in a fist, covered by her left, (as a way to hide her defiance).
ok i think this is all but i’m not sure lmao xx
hope you like it ^^

Regulus: Put a finger down, sibling edition. Put a finger down if your mother told you to restart the dryer because the clothes in the dryer weren’t dry yet and when you turned it on you heard screaming coming from inside of the dryer and you were like, um, why is there screaming coming from inside of the dryer? So you turn off the dryer and you open it up to see your brother upside down in the dryer screaming.
Regulus: *puts down a finger*
Sirius: My trauma isn't yours to tell!
Regulus: What were you even doing in there?!
