“Think about it, love. A slap across the face is just a hand cradling a cheek with too much force," James says, his mouth dry. "I can take it. I swear I can take it. I might even like the way it stings, so long as it's your hand that leaves the mark."



THE DIGNITY LEFT THE BUILDING TEN YEARS AGO.

“You're a treasure, Remus Lupin," Sirius murmurs, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth. "My treasure, the treasure I found in this sunken ship of a city. You glinted in the dark like the moon lights the sky, and I found you."


Istg no one Yearns the way SIRUIS BLACK yearns 🤭😭

“Because I'm in love with you. Because I am so pathetically in love with you that I can't ignore it. I can't ignore you. I can't escape it, and I'm willing to die for it. Just know that I love you, and that's why. I've loved you for so long, for ten years. Never forget how loved you are, Regulus, how loved you've always been."


HE’S DYING AND HIS LAST THOUGHT IS MAKING SURE REGULUS KNOWS HE WAS LOVED.

No! Peter, no! My baby! Please, you know about my baby! My baby!" Bernice shrieks. "Don't! Fuck you, you fucking traitor, you fucking rat!"


OMG SHE WAS PREGNANT?! Bernice i cant seem to find an opinion on you😭

Her prince never saved her. 
 Her prince killed her .



CAN’T CATCH A DAMN BREAK😭😭

“I wish that was sarcasm," Regulus tells him. "Like, genuinely. But you're not joking. Where is your self-respect?"

"Wherever you want it to be," James replies. "I am but a man lost to the charm of Regulus Black."


JAMES PATHETIC YEARNER POTTER 🫠

"Won't have to miss him for long," Evan breathes out, his hand falling slack. "You're going to win. You…" 
 
Evan doesn't speak after that.



WHAT NOT EVAN NO 😭😭

“If that makes you a bad man, then I am too, because so am I," James whispers, pulling him closer. "So am I. You have no idea how fucking grateful I am that you're alive."



ENOUGH😭

Regulus doesn't even get to finish begging before Gideon is dead. Blood pools onto the floor, a small puddle left behind as the Aurors drag his body away without so much as a stutter.



NOT GIDEON TOO 😭😭😭😭

The Aurors drag Fabian's body from the room, and James stays crouching on the platform, trembling so hard he can't breathe.



WHAT FABIAN?! NO!!!!! 😭😭
