Slow Burn
No beta we die like regulus
I suck at tags
as always
fluff maybe
Sadly
this is gonna be a wild ride
James Potter Has Issues
Minor
like very minor wolfstar
angst. lots and lots of angst so buckle in and grab a snack
if i'm feeling generous (just kidding
it varies)
reggie has problems
unsolved issues:(
james potter has bpd
i like to think that james and reg are two sides of a coin
modern/muggle au
kreacher doesn't exist in this au
no magic au so instead of pureblood and non pureblood there's just the rich and the less fortunate
regulus black is not a great writer
i see so many hcs that reg is magically a perfect writer/poet with shakespeare levels works
but tbh
i find comfort in my own hc of reg that he struggled so much when writing anything
it makes me feel at ease somewhat
knowing not everything has to be perfect:)
Summary
Regulus had always suffered. It was nothing new. But his suffering wasn’t as bad as Sirius’ or Andy’s. It was nothing him to complain about. He just had to push through and keep up the role of the perfect son.
It seemed like the world had been laid to rest on his shoulders. And he had no choice but to carry this burden throughout his life.
─
OR; just a fic entirely centred around real life struggles that are not talked about enough.
Note
i thought of this while stuck in a series of unfortunate no wifi case, lol that makes zero sense. but this is supposed to portray a lot of problems with teens whether it be health or mental state that is so often overlooked. im writing it in reg's eyes - the regulus kin in me is screaming rn. this is mainly a me thing, like writing this for me, with things i struggle with, and for anyone who can relate, sending you lots of hugs so you feel better - hopefully! xx
this has been something i've been thinking about writing for a while, so it's kinda rough since it's been an abandoned draft for quite some time, but now that i'm back on track i can hopefully get in focus mode lol
to put it short; this is just my mess of a feelings in fic form because idk how else to get my words out, and i found writing diaries/journals is not for me, but writing fics definitely is so have this dump. also my writing sucks whenever i'm in a mood, like i write these specifically when i'm feeling distressed or whatever topic the chapter is centred on so it's just a blob of words basically
ash this is for you, you said your depression has been ass so i hope you find comfort in this even though it's not gonna be very comforting since its mainly angst😭
like i said before, and i feel like i'm repeating this too much now, this will only be updated whenever i'm in the mood, so this is kinda like my safe place if you could call it that and i hope it can be for others too:)
there's rarely any talking, or atleast i assume there'll barely be speech because it's mostly just Regulus' - well, my - thoughts. my day, the shitty stuff, etc. etc. and some of these are a mix of what i'm going through and others, so not all of these are centred just around me, gotta dash in some reg angst too.
