✺ (3/10) ✺ @jegulus-microfic prompt: sugar — 1,146 words (jegulus dads ft. harry; when the five year old is on a sugar high)
Immediately upon getting home from his meeting, Regulus is aware that things have not gone to plan. James was meant to pick up Harry from his mums’, and the two of them were supposed to decide on dinner and their entertainment for the evening. They usually have a movie night together, the three of them, when Harry first comes back to theirs again, but it seems his husband and his son had other plans upon coming home.
Because they’re out in the backyard on the trampoline. 
Regulus hears Harry’s loud laughter carrying from the back screen before he even has to check. Setting his keys aside, he makes his way to the door to the backyard. He stands there inside for a moment, helplessly fond as he watches where Harry sits cross-legged, looking up at James, waiting.
James bounces gently in place a short distance from where the five year old sits before launching himself to land on his feet closer beside him. It flings Harry a few inches off the trampoline’s surface, his little limbs flailing as he shrieks excitedly. He flops flat onto his back afterward, lost in a string of giggles that ends up turning into ‘again, again, again!’
Two peas in a pod, James laughs with him, then reaches with both hands to tow Harry back up in his previous position. Before James can properly send him bouncing as he had moments prior, both of their heads whip in the direction of the sliding screen door when Regulus opens it to step outside.
“Papa!” Harry smiles widely, waving over at him with both hands. “Papa, watch this! Daddy can make me fly.”
“Oh, he can, can he?” Regulus smirks, coming off the patio onto the grass near the trampoline.
Harry nods and looks up at James. “Show him, daddy.”
Despite the fact that he’d just witnessed it moments ago before joining them, Regulus plays along, pretending to be awed by the way James jumps and causes Harry to bounce up off the trampoline. Again, Harry giggles for several seconds, cheeks rosy and smile unrelenting as he rolls from being flopped on his back onto his belly.
“You gotta try it, papa,” Harry tells him. “Daddy’s been doing it for ages now and it’s so fun every time.”
Regulus chuckles with a slow shake of his head. “Where’s all this energy coming from, I wonder?”
“Cookies!” Harry answers immediately, squirming up onto his knees.
One dark brow arches, Regulus’ eyes shifting to James who has the decency to look momentarily sheepish under the questioning look.
“Cookies before dinner?” He asks pointedly.
“I can explain,” James starts.
“Mama was making a whole bunch of them and mum sent me here with a big plate to share with you and daddy,” Harry explains for him.
“So, really, that look should be reserved for Pandora and Lily, my love,” James chimes in.
Regulus smiles tightly, head cocking to the side. “I’m sure you’d prefer that.”
James grimaces faintly and clambers off the trampoline, out through the zip-up mesh opening that keeps the edges screened in, to come to Regulus’ side. A large hand falls at his waist, Regulus still managing to look sternly up at him even when James leans down to kiss his cheek. He clearly has been humoring their son for a while, because he’s flushed and a little sweaty, slightly out of breath and so warm at Regulus’ side.
“You know how hard it is to get him to settle down when he’s had too much sugar,” Regulus points out.
“I know, I’m sorry.” James smooths his hand along his lower back in a continuous motion.
Regulus hums, gaze drifting to where Harry half-runs, half-bounces around the full circle of the trampoline. “How many did you let him have?”
“Just one, I swear.” James follows his line of sight, stepping even nearer to him to curl his arm around his waist. “But he did mention that Pandora had been letting him help in the kitchen, and you know that means—”
“Licking all the spoons.”
“And handfuls of chocolate chips. Ah, and some of them are frosted, even, so uh… icing taste tests, too.”
“Great.” Regulus shakes his head. “This has to be some kind of payback for when we brought him and Luna back to theirs after all that cake and candy at Ron’s birthday party.”
James chuckles and squeezes gently at his side. “He’ll crash soon enough, surely.”
“I assumed that’s why you brought him out here in the first place,” Regulus says.
“It was either that, or his suggestion to build a pillow fort pirate ship in the living room. I felt this was less jarring for you to come home to.”
Regulus watches as Harry does a quick somersault only to spring back to his feet, bounce twice in place, and purposely land on his bum with another bounce. He laughs breathlessly, adjusting glasses knocked askew by the impact, and Regulus can’t help but huff a quiet laugh of his own. Hopped up on sugar as he may be, Harry’s joy is never a thing Regulus takes for granted. Even in the silliest of moments —if not especially then.
“You’re going to sleep like babies tonight,” Regulus comments.
“Probably true.”
“After a solid bath time because you’re both so gross right now.”
James snorts, giving a tilted nod of his head in agreement. “Fair.”
“Have to figure out dinner still, too.”
“We could order a pizza to make things easy?” James suggests. When Regulus nods in reply, he nods, too. “I can stay out here and help him run off some more of the sugar high if you want to go ring it in?”
“No, I’ll watch him. You go inside and get yourself some water before you pass out or something,” Regulus teases.
“I’m fine, thank you. I’m in excellent shape,” James scoffs. Lower, just for him, he murmurs, “A fact you’re very well aware of, my love.”
He punctuates the playful remark by nipping gently at the edge of Regulus’ jaw. Regulus bats him away, lips twitching upward in a smile that couldn’t be held back even if he tried.
“Heathen,” He mutters.
“That’s me. Your heathen husband.” James smacks an overdramatic kiss to Regulus’ cheek this time before separating.
Harry hops up closer to the trampoline’s edge, hands braced carefully on the outside net to ask, “What’s a heathen, papa?”
Regulus hears James laugh loudly behind him on his way inside. 
He shakes his head, grinning fondly as he looks back at Harry. “Don’t worry about that, darling. Why don’t you show me how your cartwheels are coming, hm?”
Harry brightens immediately, nodding and leaping backward. “Okay! Make sure you’re watching the whole time!”
Nothing else in the world seems more worth Regulus’ time than watching their boy be so happy. Riled up on sugar or otherwise.

@jegulus-microfic // january 14 // prompt: massage // words: 808
“Long night?” The bartender asks, towel slung over his shoulder as he pours Regulus another glass of whiskey. 
“Long month,” he sighs. He massages his temples for a moment, but it doesn’t do anything to alleviate the headache that’s building up.
“Yeah? Wanna tell me about it?” The bartender busies himself with cleaning the counter. There’s no one else to tend to, after all. He looks up at Regulus over the rim of his glasses.
Regulus snorts out a laugh. Perhaps somewhat unattractively, but he doesn’t care. There’s no one left to impress, after all. “I don’t think you get paid enough for that.”
“I get paid plenty. Come on, I’m all ears.”
Regulus considers for a moment, glass loosely held between his fingertips. He swirls the liquid around. Tilts his head. “Well, at least tell me your name before I unload all my issues.”
The bartender moves so he’s standing right in front of him. He leans down, arms coming to rest on the counter. He has nice arms, Regulus notices. Strong. Corded. Veiny.
“James,” the bartender says. He tips his head as if to say nice to meet you.
“Well, James,” Regulus starts, “I’ve been dating.”
“Ah.”
“And it’s not going well.”
“Ah.”
“See, my first date was with a guy who was definitely in love with his roommate and asked me to drive him home an hour into the date because the roommate called. There was an emergency, apparently. I don’t know what type of emergency requires me to stop for condoms first, but I digress.”
Barty hadn’t even been apologetic about it. Told Regulus point-blank that he needed to pass by the store. Bought ribbed condoms and flavored lube. Directed Regulus to their apartment. For a brief moment, Barty had seemed to consider inviting him up. 
“They’re nice though,” he continues with a shrug. “We hang out sometimes.” James chuckles in amusement, soft and low. “Second date was with a guy whose hair was so greasy, I swear you could deep fry something in that mess. And he kept talking about his childhood best friend, which was giving me stalker vibes, to be honest.”
James watches, rapt, as Regulus brings his glass to his mouth and tips it back, the whiskey burning through his system. It leaves him feeling warm and fuzzy around the edges. He’s not sure if it’s the whiskey, though, or James’ attentive gaze.
“And tonight?” James asks. “Date number three?”
“This was four, actually,” he sighs. “Three was a double date with my brother and his boyfriend and their friend, but the friend stood me up.”
“He did not,” James gasps, appropriately scandalized. 
“Right?” Regulus sniffs. He stares into the bottom of his glass, amber liquid long gone, just to avoid the pity he knows he’ll find in James’ eyes. “Tonight was a miss, too. I don’t know, maybe I’m the problem. The undateable Regulus Black. The least eligible bachelor in all of England.” Regulus can’t help the derisive snort that escapes him.
“What did you just say?” James straightens. The movement is so sudden that Regulus startles with it. 
There is a bitter twist of his mouth as he repeats his words. It feels a bit cruel to be asked for an encore of his self-deprecation, but Regulus has always had a hard time saying no to a pretty face. “The least eligible bachelor in all of England?”
“No, no, before that.”
He rolls his eyes. “The undateable Regulus Black?”
James takes a step back behind the bar, as if to get a better look at Regulus. He’s sure he’s quite the spectacle. Hair mussed, eyes bleary, tie undone because he’s been tugging at the knot all night. 
“Shit, you’re Sirius’ brother. I— I had an unexpected shift last week, Peter got sick.” James cards a hand through his hair, tugging on some strands as he goes. “That’s why I couldn’t make it.”
Regulus jolts in his chair, leaning closer to James, eyes narrowed and lip curled up in a sneer. “Wait, you stood me up?”
“I didn’t know!” Two hands held up in surrender. Regulus thinks they’re nice hands. Skilled, too, because he saw James twirl bottles earlier. He wonders what those hands might feel like on his throat. No. He blinks harshly to clear his head. James is still standing there, hands raised. When Regulus leans back into his chair, he lowers them.
He turns to the shelves where the liquor is stocked, grabs the bottle of whiskey. Regulus forces himself not to think indecent thoughts about the man's back.
“Well then,” James says, pouring himself a drink after topping off Regulus’ glass. He shucks the towel off his shoulder, unbothered when it lands in a heap on the counter behind him. Shoots Regulus a wry grin, glass lifted mid-air as if toasting. “Fifth time’s the charm?”

Nicknames
500 words || Something that's been knocking around in my head that I thought could fit the @jilymicrofics promps 14 and 19: Love and Glasses (respectively).
The reception was in full swing—the little garden behind their cottage hosting roughly two dozen of their closest friends, twirling and swaying to the instruments that had been enchanted to play through the evening.
James and Lily watch on from their kitchen window, an aura of pure happiness around them. James' chin rests on her head, arms wrapped around her from behind. A sigh of contentment escapes her lips and he presses a kiss to her temple before spinning her to face him with a delighted laugh, white dress splaying out around her.
Each stepping towards the other, they meet in the middle of their little kitchen and come together for a tender, unhurried kiss.
“Thought you could sneak away at your own bloody wedding?”
The guilty parties break apart at the sound of Sirius’ voice, varying degrees of exasperation on each of their faces. James jerks his chin towards the door. “Padfoot, bugger off. I'm snogging my wife.”
"Oi, I come bearing gifts! Or, a gift for Evans, at least." Sirius grins at James before turning his focus on Lily. "As a wedding present, the lads and I talked and we'd like to officially welcome you into the fold and gift you the use of our nicknames."
Lily's breath unexpectedly catches in her throat.
"Oh." A single syllable holds the surprise and deep, deep gratitude at being bestowed with such an honor. She clears her throat in an attempt to keep her voice steady. “Thank you."
Lily can feel James pull her in a little closer, the importance of the gesture—however silly it seems—touching him as much as it touches her. He runs his thumb back and forth on her arm and pivots the conversation, looking to Sirius. "And what did you get me?"
"Nothing. You're rich, you don't need anything."
"You're rich!"
"Shh, Prongs, I'm talking to your wife."
Lily's eyes follow the conversation between the two men as her chest, which she thought was already filled to capacity after all the love and tears and 'I do's, seems in danger of exploding.
"Now Padfoot," she starts, and she sees the way James' eyes sparkle a little brighter at her inclusion in something that's been so sacred to the four of them for so many years. "Be a mate and bugger off so I can continue snogging my husband before it's time for cake."
Sirius bows as he backs out of the room. "As you wish, Mrs. Prongs."
She turns back and finds James smiling down at her, eyes twinkling behind his glasses, and feels how her own cheeks ache from her identical grin. He pulls her closer by her hips and places his lips next to her ear. "We'll workshop your own nickname."
The loose sleeve of her wedding gown cascades down her arm as she places her hand on his cheek, gently shaking her head. "I quite like Mrs. Prongs," she teases, lifting up on her toes and bringing her lips to meet his once more.

John and Kai, "What is happening?"
(Send me a ship + a sentence and I’ll write the next five)
“What is happening?”
John sat back and crossed his arms. “What’s happening is Cortana finally met her match.”
Kai looked out to the two—two!—bickering holograms. “John? You’re enjoying this.”
“Oh, yes, I am.”
Cortana’s “match” is my AI OC Anduril, her twin brother/male alter ego.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wrote a little game-verse fic about him and have one for the TV timeline sitting around waiting for me to finish it. I’m never sure exactly what to DO with Anduril or how he would work but I so love the idea of Cortana having a sibling.
I got the idea from @ladywolvesbayne ‘s Subject Eleven in her fic Recompose.

I'm sorry if this is a little too specific but 8 or 9 polyninja Cole angst? If that's ok!
send me a ship and one of these and i’ll write a mini fic things you said when you were crying things you said when i was crying
Well then, how about both?
Cole sighed as he looked into the firepit, still trying to calm himself down. A cool breeze fluttered through the air as he heard the familiar footfalls ruffling through the grass.
"Hey," came a familiar voice. Cole looked up to see Jay moving through the garden, only coming to a stop when he was able to take a seat next to him. Cole sniffed as he wiped away his tears.
"Look," he started; "I'm sorry about what I said back there. I just-I..." He could feel the tears threatening to return as he tried to speak. He felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around him, and he just started to sob into the crook of Jay's neck.
"It's okay, Cole...I'm sorry too." He felt tears hit his cheek, and he knew that it was because of him. He pulled himself up to look at Jay, when he heard a sniffling coming from the other side of the path. They both looked up to see a worse for wear Kai, holding onto Zane's hand as they got close.
“C-Cole?” He began. Zane nudged him closer when he paused. “I…I wanted to apologize. I shouldn’t have said what I did about going to the cemetery.” Cole felt Jay’s grip tighten as Kai spoke.
“I’m sorry too…about what I said about your parents.” Now Kai was starting to cry again, and on instinct, Cole stood up, and pulled him, Jay and Zane into a hug.

Pin-up boy (steddie microfic)
For @steddiemicrofic March prompt, ‘pin.’ Thank you <3
WC: 388. Rating: T. CW: None. Tags: Steve and Eddie return to High School (because I say so!) post S4 healing, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers.
In the library, Eddie found Steve slumped at a table, face pillowed in his arms. Robin sat beside Steve, rubbing his back.
“He okay?” asked Eddie.
“Bad headache,” mumbled Steve. “M’not deaf, Munson. Yet.”
“Came on sudden.” Robin’s obvious worry mirrored Eddie’s. They’d persuaded Steve to re-take senior year, and these ‘study meets’ rocked Eddie’s days. Though Robin tried, no ‘studying’ happened; they’d be idiots till the librarian booted them. It was really an excuse to check each other was okay, post-Upside Down everything. Plus, Eddie dug hanging with Robin… Aaaand with his secret crush.
“Got your meds?” asked Eddie.
“In my locker.” Steve threw his keys at Eddie.
“You trust me with your car-key too?”
“Like you need those to boost my wheels.” Steve blinked blearily. “The pink pills, ’kay?”
Steve’s locker contained a ton of meds. Some—for PTSD, anxiety—Eddie took also. The ‘pink pills,’ however, were hardcore painkillers that Eddie had been able to ditch. He’d snatched them up, when a grainy pic—pinned discreetly at the back—caught his eye.
IT’S ME! Ax-wielding at a Corroded Coffin gig. 
The love-hearts pencilled in the margins set Eddie’s world on fire.
When Eddie returned, Steve wouldn’t raise his burning face. He couldn’t handle Eddie knowing, even after the painkillers kicked in. The old Steve Harrington would’ve powered through, but… Ouch! Not today.
Eddie cornered him near the lockers. Steve glared.
“Feeling better?” asked Eddie.
Steve shrugged.
Eddie slung an arm around Steve’s shoulders. “Wanna show you something.”
Steve tensed, nearly bolted, but… Christ, it was better said: “Yeeeah, my locker. I got all brain-foggy and forgot that pic was there. It’s a dumb joke—”
“Sure hope it’s not.” Eddie flung his locker open. A shirtless picture of Steve by the pool was pinned, very visibly, to the door. My Little Pony stickers formed a love-heart around it.
“For once, skulls and crossbones didn’t nail it,” said Eddie. “I owe Lady Applejack a billion dollars for those babies.”
“Is this some twisted joke?”
“My Little Ponies aside, I’m deadly serious, Stevie.”
Steve fixated on Eddie’s gorgeous eyes. Jesus, this was real! The guy who’d shared his healing, who got who he was now, felt the same.
“Screw it, me too.” They couldn’t be alone quick enough. Steve let Eddie pin him to the wall, and they made out forever.

"mornings with you"
written for day 29/30 of september for @jegulus-microfic with the prompts "permanent/draw"
565 words
Regulus had already gotten up by the time James had awoken. His side of the bed was cold and made, just like typical Reg. 
Feet quietly sounding on the hardwood floor, James walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen where he knew that Reg would be. He came up behind him and hugged his hands around Regulus' waist, fingers brushing the James tattooed right above his waistline, in between his hips. It was another permanent, not so subtle reminder that he was James’ and nobody else's. 
A while ago, Regulus had asked James to draw his name out for him on a little piece of paper. James didn’t question it, happily complying with whatever his husband wanted. But later, when Regulus came home with a new tattoo, James probably should have. Seeing James in black ink in that perfect sight had James drooling. 
It was all that James could do to shag him right then and there in their living room with Teddy, who they were babysitting for the afternoon, napping in the guest bedroom. However, James had enough self-control to wait until Sirius and Remus came and picked Teds up and they had left the driveway. Then, it was all over for him. 
“Good morning love,” James drawled, voice heavy with sleep. It was a noise that made Regulus weak in the knees. 
“‘Morning.” Regulus replied. He handed one cup of coffee to James, loaded with creamer and then kept the other one for himself, black. “Hey, Sirius called earlier this morning and he needs to watch Teddy again today. He should be over to drop him off in a couple hours. I already set up his crib, we just need to Teddy-proof the rest of the house.” 
James laughed. “”Kay love. And you're not gonna come home after work with another surprise like you did last time right?” He added, referring to the tattoo. 
It was Regulus’ turn to laugh. “Not unless you want me too, love.” 
James smirked. “Well, if you make any plans on a whim, call Sirius and Remus to pick Teddy up when you're done, so that way I don’t have to wait.” 
“Wait for what exactly?” Regulus asked, feigning innocence. 
Rolling his eyes, James said with total confidence, “Wait to fuck you upon every surface of this house. You don’t know how fuckable you looked with that tattoo. With my name, right there, just begging, pleading, for something. I think I’d take you first on the couch, start soft, then move-”
“James.” Regulus cut through his sex fantasy with a stern look. “Don’t start that this morning. I have to get to work and I really don’t want to be late because you're acting like a teenager who can’t control himself.” 
“It’s not my fault that you look like, well you, every day.” 
Regulus smiled and left to go to take a shower and get to work. Just as he was leaving the kitchen he called out to James. “Jamie! Teddy-proof the house while I’m getting ready please!” 
“I can’t join you today?”
Of course James would want to join Regulus in the shower, even though he just got onto him for not having self control. But alas, Regulus wasn't going to complain if James wasn’t. 
“Fine. But only because I love you.”
James hurried after Regulus, not wanting to waste any moment of his time.
well well, its the end of the month and the last day of september microfics! we made (i missed a couple days whoops, but i have a life lol) hope you guys enjoyed reading these!! i enjoyed writing them! i wont stick to any one specific ship next month, it'll be a whenever i want to type of thing lol. have a great rest of your saturday lovelies, take care. <33

jegulus micro(?)fic — 2,213 words. nsfw; the ‘James-desperately-needs-something-in-his-mouth’ episode (dedicated to my dear darling @imdamagecontrol<3)
James’ hands flex in and out of fists behind his back, wrists straining against silk tied in a firm knot around them. In reality, if he squirmed enough he could probably worm his way out of the restraint, it’s just one of Regulus’ ties, after all. But that’s not really the point.
The point, actually, is that James needs this.
He’s been so stressed lately, juggling more than he can properly carry, and it’s started to weigh on him. Make him overwhelmed. Change his mood enough to be apparent. Typically, he does a good job at hiding it, but some days…
Some days the itch beneath his skin gets a little too insistent. Some days his tone turns clipped and his mannerisms become twitchy and all that he feels is suddenly visible. 
And those days, well. Those days pile up, to the point that he needs a good break.
Regulus doesn’t particularly enjoy it when he lets himself get so deep in it —there’s been pointed comments about taking care of himself over the last couple days as he’s noticed progressive changes in James. So when James had come home today after yet another long one, feeling ready to tear right out of his own skin, he’d asked.
“Can you take care of me tonight?”
Once he’d made sure he understood what it was James was asking for, Regulus was quick to give him just what he needed. A loose hold at his throat, a level stare as he pulled him inches away from his face.
A promise between the lines of Regulus’ murmured, “Be good and wait for me.”
He’d waited on the floor at the foot of the bed for ten minutes after stripping down to just his briefs, knees twinging as he tried to balance his weight more comfortably. Then Regulus had come in, wordlessly giving him a once-over before he undressed. He’d muttered gentle praises when James had let him tug both arms behind his back, Regulus securing his tie around his wrists.
Now, a familiar hand brushes his cheek, trails down to his neck. Regulus thumbs at his Adam’s apple and James swallows beneath it, staring at the jut of Regulus’ hip bone where he stands in front of him.
“Alright?” Regulus checks, hand curling loosely around his throat, pulling him close again, just like earlier.
James inhales deeply where his nose presses right above Regulus’ navel. He leaves a gentle kiss there, nods his head. The hand at his throat tightens.
“Use your words,” Regulus instructs.
“I’m good.” 
James traces his tongue downward, through the thin trail of dark hair that disappears beneath the waistband of Regulus’ briefs. He catches the elastic between his teeth, tugs at it, lets it snap back against porcelain skin. Ducking lower, James mouths at the outline of Regulus’ cock, tongue wetting the fabric and feeling the way he’s slowly filling out under the attention. Regulus allows it for a few seconds more, a low hum leaving him that has heat pooling low in James’ stomach.
The pressure at James’ throat shifts and Regulus’ fingers sink into his dark hair, grip slowly tightening, palm a solid weight at the nape of his neck. His other hand tucks beneath James’ chin, his head guided into tilting backward between the two. James blinks slow, looks up toward Regulus’ face from beneath his lashes. Breathes deep. Waits.
“What do you need tonight, James?” Regulus asks; his voice is honey, thick and sweet and dripping warmth down every groove of James’ spine.
He keeps James’ chin in the curl of his fingers but stretches his thumb to trace a slow circle around his mouth. He leaves it pressed against James’ bottom lip, James darting his tongue out at it for the briefest taste. One brow arches as Regulus looks down at him.
“Something in your mouth, maybe?” 
When all James does his nod, Regulus tugs sharply at the back of his hair —an unspoken demand. James’ mouth drops open, a soft gasp between parted lips.
“Yes,” He whines. “Please.”
“There you go, baby, that’s so good,” Regulus hums.
James’ lips twitch helplessly when Regulus moves to readjust his glasses for him. It’s such a tiny gentleness, a common show of his care for him, no matter how out of place it may seem in a moment like this. 
The fond appreciation that unfurls warmth in his chest is derailed in seconds by the shift of Regulus’ foot, nudging between his thighs, pressing. James’ eyelids flutter as he sucks in a shallow breath. His hips twitch forward against the barely-there pressure on his cock, hard and aching in his own briefs.
“Do you think you deserve it?” Regulus asks. 
He tugs at James’ hair again to jerk his head back further, presses his foot more firmly between his legs. James is already starting to feel dizzy with it; the waiting, the care, the teasing, all building into a burning buzz that’s much more pleasant than the anxious itch that’s bothered him for days. He rocks against Regulus’ foot with a shaking, needy sound crawling up his throat.
“I need it, baby.”
“But that’s not what I asked this time, is it?” Regulus counters, tone vaguely patronizing.
It shouldn’t make James’ cock twitch the way that it does, really. Shouldn’t make him unable to bank a whimper when he rocks his hips forward again.
“Do you think you deserve it?” Regulus repeats. He inches his foot away, and James whines in protest. “God, listen to you. You really do need it, don’t you?”
James nods urgently, breath hitching in his chest. “I do. Please, Regulus.”
It’s a miracle he doesn’t whimper another time when Regulus takes a small step backward, all touch falling away from him. The silver lining is watching him tuck a thumb into either side of the band on his briefs, pulling them down and stepping out of them.
Wanting eyes immediately land on Regulus’ cock the second it’s in front of him. Even the huff of Regulus chuckling above him doesn’t draw his focus away. He watches intently as Regulus wraps a hand around himself and strokes slowly.
Blown pupils hide nearly all the grey of Regulus’ irises when James finally glances up at his face again. He shifts up straighter on his knees, mouth falling open already when Regulus steps forward. A smirk tugs at the corners of Regulus’ lips and his free hand sinks into James’ hair.
He pauses in guiding his cock to James’ waiting mouth, slick head nudging his bottom lip. “What do you say?”
“Thank you.” Punches breathlessly out of James in an instant.
Regulus’ smirk inches wider and he gives a single nod. It’s all the go ahead James needs to tilt forward and finally —finally— take him into his mouth. The grip in his hair tightens as James swallows his length down, letting the weight of him settle on his tongue. He hums appreciatively around him, keeping his motions shallow to hit the back of his throat each time.
Despite the tight hold on his hair, Regulus lets James move as desired. His wrists strain against the silk around them when he instinctively wants to reach forward and balance his hands on Regulus’ thighs, but he’ll make do. He always does.
After a little while, Regulus’ other hand joins the first in his hair. He halts James’ continued movements and holds him in place. 
James moans the second he starts fucking into his mouth, eyes rolling back. There’s spit collected at the corners of his mouth, sliding down his chin. Each snap of Regulus’ hips has his cock hitting the back of his throat, his moans turning garbled and wet —filthy— while Regulus looses a winded string of swears.
“This— fuck—” Regulus hisses when he thrusts forward again and James swallows, letting him feel the way his throat tightens. “This is exactly what you needed, isn’t that right, baby?”
James hums his answer, eyelids fluttering as he opens glassy eyes to look up. There’s tears building at the corners, and on a particularly hard snap of Regulus’ hips one rolls hotly down his cheek. His cheeks burn, that and the panted breaths out his nose fogging up the bottom of his glasses lenses.
James doesn’t fucking care. He doesn’t care about any of it. Let Regulus make a complete mess of him. Let Regulus use him as he sees fit. 
This is all James wanted, what he needed. To release the tension he’s been feeling for days, to give up the vice grip he’s tried to maintain on control of anything at all. To be taken care of in this way; something filling his mouth and Regulus just taking from him.
He knows when Regulus is close; words are no longer manageable and his thighs tremble, thrusts becoming erratic. James expects him to come down his throat, is awaiting the burst of warmth, ready to eagerly swallow all he has to give him. But abruptly, Regulus yanks at his hair with both hands, tugging him off.
James whines brokenly, a thick string of drool connecting the corner of his mouth and Regulus’ cock. His throat is wrecked; it’s a pitiful, pathetic sounding thing when he manages a desperate, “No.”
Panting, Regulus shakes his head back and forth. One hand moves from James’ hair, thumb breaking the string of spit when he smears the slickness surrounding James’ mouth. Making an even bigger mess of him. James licks after it, twists his tongue around it, trying to be enticing, trying to get him back inside.
Regulus drops his hand entirely, grips his cock instead. He stares intently down at him, demands from between his teeth, “Keep your tongue out for me.”
Wanting to be good and knowing what’s next, James obliges. Regulus drags his hand in hurried tugs over his cock and he watches hungrily. Anticipation burns a fire in James’ veins, sends his pulse roaring in his ears, as he waits, spit pooling in his open mouth, dripping more down his chin. 
It’s a minute more before Regulus cries out, head thrown back and hips lurching forward as he comes. Hot strips of white land on James’ top lip, his tongue, his glasses. Cum drips down the one lens to land on his cheek and James can’t hold back a whimper, mouth still open. He hasn’t been told to close it yet.
“Fucking Christ,” Regulus groans, hand slowing over himself as he comes down from his orgasm. 
His chest is as flushed as his face, heaving with uneven breaths, and he’s fucking gorgeous like this. Wrung out and a little wobbly on his legs, shiny-eyed and out of breath. James feels just as high as Regulus looks. Even with his cock still painfully hard and leaking in his briefs, his knees throbbing when he shifts his weight for the first time in too long.
Regulus finally lets go of his length, gripping James’ slick chin instead. He swipes his thumb through the cum on James’ lip, his cheek. Collects what he can from his face, and dips a little into James’ waiting mouth to wipe it off onto his tongue a few times. Gathering as much as he can for him.
Finally, Regulus tells him, “Swallow, baby.”
James does without hesitation, moaning at the familiar taste down his throat. There’s still cum on his glasses, blurrily obscuring his view of Regulus on the one side when he blinks heavy lidded eyes up at him.
“You did so good, James.” The praise has James’ lips curling in a lopsided smile, dazed in the best way. He hums his thanks, throat too sore for immediate words, but Regulus doesn’t demand that of him this time. “Do you feel better?”
It’s a mockery of a bobble head on a dashboard when James nods hurriedly in answer. His head’s a little fuzzy still, breath slowly returning to normal for himself. A different high entirely for his comedown.
“Come on.” Regulus bends down to help James to his feet then reaches behind him to undo the tie from his wrists. “We should clean you up, you’re a mess.”
“Good,” James replies, voice rough, lazy grin widening.
Regulus rolls his eyes, but there’s no denying the affection in his gaze. He rubs at James’ wrists when his hands are brought between them and James hums quietly.
“I’ll take care of you in the shower, okay?” He murmurs, eyes darting downward.
“Y’already did, baby,” James points out.
Regulus lifts a brow. “Sorry, did you not also feel like coming tonight?”
James clears his throat in order to more clearly joke, “I think if you so much as breathed on my cock right now it’d probably be over for me.”
Shaking his head, Regulus snorts, muttering a fond ‘idiot’ beneath his breath. He leans in to press a kiss to James’ cheek, recoiling when James turns his head and nuzzles into the side of his neck, smearing leftover drool on his skin.
“Go. Bathroom, now.” Regulus points to the open bedroom door, but the control in his voice is gone; it’s half a laugh —blushing and breathless and beautiful.
James smiles adoringly at him, gives him a mock salute, and follows his instruction just the same.

@jegulus-microfic // september 24 // prompt: capture // words: 580 // part 1 + part 3 + part 4
Regulus would like to tell you he is here against his will but, unfortunately, that would be a lie.
When James texted him that the frat was doing charity events all week, the car wash flashed through his mind. He is not proud, but his first thought was maybe I can borrow Barty’s car to go to the car wash again. His second thought was what the fuck.
But then James mentioned an activities fair and a kissing booth and all of a sudden, Regulus is standing in line to be kissed. By James Potter.
The line is ridiculously long, which really shouldn’t be a surprise. He caught a glimpse of James earlier. He is once again wearing that dumb fucking snap back and that dumb fucking chain around his neck, but at least there is a shirt this time. Silver linings.
The line inches forward and finally, Regulus makes it to the front. James throws his head back and cackles when he sees Regulus.
“Oh, sweetheart, if you wanted to kiss me, you could’ve just asked. Although I do think you should take me to dinner first,” James tells him. Regulus wants to throttle him. And kiss him. It’s a confusing combination.
“Shut up,” Regulus says. He glances at the menu hanging behind James. It’s two dollars for a kiss on the cheek and five dollars for a kiss on the lips. He hands James a five-dollar bill. “It’s for charity.”
“Well, in that case, c’mere.”
James leans forward, one hand sliding into Regulus’ hair. Regulus can feel James’ breath ghost over the side of his face right as his eyes flutter closed. James captures his lips in a kiss. It’s chaste, a bit more than a peck, but only barely. It’s nothing toe-curling, but still, Regulus’ toes curl.
It lasts less than a minute, probably, but it feels longer. Or maybe it really is longer, because a pointed cough behind him makes him pull away from the kiss. A girl is tapping her foot impatiently and Regulus barely contains a sneer.
“Pleasure doing business with you,” James says with a pleased smile on his face. He tips an imaginary hat at Regulus as he turns away. Which, by the way, looks idiotic considering the fact that James is actually wearing a hat, just backward.
Regulus walks back the way he came, silently counting the number of people currently in line. Eleven. That’s… hmm…
Regulus doesn’t know what comes over him. Jealousy, lust, possessiveness, something else entirely, maybe. But he suddenly finds himself at the back of the line. Again.
Time moves at a snail’s pace, and so does the queue for James’ dumb fucking kissing booth. More people have joined behind him, waiting for their turn, and Regulus feels his eye twitch in annoyance. He does a breathing exercise. Hums a Ke$ha song. Counts the blades of grass but gives up when he loses track for the fifth time. And then finally, it’s his turn again.
James looks startled to see him, but he hides it easily behind a smirk. “Back for more, Reggie?” he asks.
“Shut up," Regulus says, slamming a fifty-dollar bill down on the counter. "Whatever this can get me, I’ll take. It’s for charity, okay?"
James simply laughs, puts the bill in the money jar, and flips the sign from open to closed. Everyone in line behind him groans, but Regulus doesn’t hear it, because James is reeling him in again for a kiss.

Oh no I can’t turn my brain off and I had this idea pop up (also felt bad for giving Lily pain on her birthday)
@jilymicrofics January prompt 22: Rumour
The rumour started as most rumours do: with a modicum of truth.
Lily Evans and James Potter showed up late to Charms on Thursday. Together.
That was the incident that set off whispers all next week. ‘Potter’s shagging Evans?’ ‘I heard McGonagall caught them in a broom closet.’ ‘It’s apparently been going on for years, including when Potter was seeing that Ravenclaw bird, Fiona.’ ‘Well that’s not surprising, is it? She’s Muggle-born… you know how they are.’
The truth didn’t matter to the school: that the Head Boy and Head Girl had been late because they’d been breaking up a fight on another floor. It wasn’t salacious enough.
Never mind that there was a truth much more intriguing if people just looked a little harder: The glances, the innocent shoulder bumps, the smiles they shared that lasted a little too long…
Lily Evans and James Potter were together, secretly, both teetering on the edge of love. A respect, a friendship, a relationship had bloomed out of the ashes of their long-forgotten animosity, and with it the quiet understanding that they could weather whatever storms they faced together.
And that truth meant so much more than a silly rumour.

Kaiyes and “Can you help me with my hair?” For that one-sentence-plus-five thing praps?
(Send me a ship + a sentence and I’ll write the next five)
“Can you help me with my hair?”
“Um,” Miranda studied the matted mess on Kai’s head, “what have you been putting in it, anyway?”
“Gun grease,” Kai answered, as if it were a normal thing to put gun grease on one’s head.
“Gun grease in your hair?!”
“Yeah.” Kai turned her head and looked up.
Oh, Miranda thought, this is so not in my job description.
I based this on the hair scene with Delenn and Ivanova 🤣
Tumblr media
Also I have gotten gun lube in my hair and it is a B to wash out.

Opening Lines
Thank for the tag @nodirectionhome-ao3 @blitheringmcgonagall and @annabtg! this looks fun
Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there's a pattern!
Going with the last 10 on AO3, so excluding some microfics that are only on tumblr.
To Bring Down a Kingdom
James had never lived in a world not torn apart by war.
2. Mind Games
The last thing she remembered before everything went dark was a bright light, a sharp crack, and then a sudden pain shooting down the side of her head. 
3. Don't Look Back in Anger
Lily was running late.
4. A Different Kind of Love Story
“This is all your fault.”
5. And Then the Symphony Starts
Lily Evans doesn’t think about love much.
6. Up in Arms
Mary truly was a bad influence.
7. The Reckless Now
She doesn’t normally do this.
8. Shameless
February was bleak in the year nineteen seventy-seven.
9. to keep a promise
The last of autumn’s brown leaves kicked around her feet as she walked.
10. giving her away
He had loved Lily Evans from the moment he understood what love was.
Definitely a trend of short, sweet, and scene-setting. 🙃 Guess I should try for some variety in the future, no?
Tagging, if they fancy: @possessingtheproperspirit @wearingaberetinparis @thejilyship @petals2fish @practicecourts @kay-elle-cee @chierafied @jfleamont

FIC AUTHOR SELF-REC TAG Ahh! @kay-elle-cee thanks for the tag. I do love a bit of self love.
When you get this, reply with your 5 favourite fics that you've written. Then pass it on to five other writers. Spread some self love.
I have to include my love, my excecutioner, my magnum opus…
Between the Desire and the Spasm Words: 19.8k. Chapters: 7/?. Rated: M. Trains are arguably the centre of everything. The sinew of civilisation for muggles and wizards alike. They are where all walks of life converge. Congregate. In synchronised traversal. Shared agony inflicted by the piercing screech of metal on metal, bonding all patrons aboard a carriage. And outside. A passing glimpse of someone you thought you’d never see again. Trains. They change everything.
The No Voldemort AU @merlinsbbeard and I are writing together...
All's Well That Ends Well Words: 24k. Chapters: 7/25. Rated: M. Co-writer: @merlinsbbeard. Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. And the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have very small minds, indeed. Or: Lily Evans is flung into the vicious cesspit that is the Hogwarts Dating Scene. Filled with boys and Quidditch parties and Firewhisky and friendly inter-house relations and tears and mean girls and public displays of affection—gag.
The fic that I am taking so long to write because each chapter rips my bloody heart out...
To Live Without A Heart Words: 1.3k. Chapters: 2/?. Rated: M. James wasn’t home that night. It was the one decent thing Peter did, and James hated him for it.
One of my first smutty microfics...
Beetle-Browed Boy Words: 483. Chapters: 1/1. Rated: E. Being properly loved was not something Lily was accustomed to…until James: a ficlet.
A micro in which I experimented with poetry...
Familia, Amor, Fides Words: 128. Chapters: 1/1. Rated: G. The Potter Family Motto: 'Familia, Amor, Fides.' Family, Love, Loyalty. It was something James took very seriously: a ficlet.
Tagging: @merlinsbbeard @athenasparrow @practicecourts @annasghosts @missgryffin
