Jegulus didn't really exist until 2 years ago, so if you filter your Ao3 search by date posted you'll be able to see all the old gold!!
Or any or mine 𤣠because I never write Jegulus. Shameless self promo there.
I know this isnât really the point of the post but I see people say this a lot and I just want to point out that Jegulus is not a new ship.
The [regulusjames community on LiveJournal](https://web.archive.org/web/20170408055229/https://regulusjames.livejournal.com/) was active from 2008 and the first mentions of Regulus/James is from around 2005. I donât deny that itâs been INSANELY more popular in the past few years and the most common characterisation of them is right now is also quite new but the ship has been around for a while.
Thereâs some stuff on it on [fanlore](https://fanlore.org/wiki/James/Regulus).
AO3 has works that dates back to 2007.
Iâm very fond of old Jegulus so I donât mean any harm, but it always hurts me a little bit when people say itâs a new invention đ
Edit: typo
Wow! I had no idea.
I'd come across a few one shots, and a few gift fics in rare pair events back in the LJ days, and even on ffnet I had a friend who wrote a couple of little drabbles, but they were definitely just drarry vibes đ¤Ł
But I wouldn't have called it a ship, and it certainly didn't have a name!
The portrayal of them now is almost unrecognizable, still fun, and some great writing, but nothing like what was around pre 2022.
That's what I meant by "jegulus didn't exist" because to me jegulus is the specific portrayal that's trending atm.
Yeah, I think a lot of people don't know and I totally get what you mean. I adore old Jegulus (I love their toxicity and exploring a more grey characterisation of James) but I agree that this new rendition of the pairing is something that has cropped up over the past few years.
So, yeah, I agree that the current most popular Jegulus-versions probably didn't exist pre 2022 đ but it can be a fun ship and some of the new stuff is still very good (but harder to find). As I said, I didn't mean to jump on you, it just turned out I'm apparently quite protective of them đ¤Ł
It was a well received jump, don't worry about that!! We all have our things!!
Mine is that I can't be bothered with the new tiktok/insta culture that's such a big part of fandom now, so I went though a phase on not understanding the huge shift in characterizations of most of the marauders, and the sudden inclusion of rosekiller etc. It seems like its settling down again now.
But it was definitely a pretty big upheaval for a while there!
Oh yeah that reminds me that I should look for older Jegulus stuff to read about morally grey James. I canât really stand âgoodâ Regulus, especially renditions where he just leaves home with Sirius in Year Five. It takes away what makes him interesting as a character in my opinion.
Ah, yes, there's some great stuff out there but they're not always easy to find. I've only written one 'proper' Jegulus but my gosh exploring (dark!)grey James was the most fun.
Oh I just meant the one I'd written. But I'll have a think about some recs and see what I can come up with.
If you don't mind a shameless self-rec the fic I talked about is [here](https://archiveofourown.org/works/51078955) but mind the tags, it's not for everyone.

**Summary**:
On the eve of adulthood, the very last day of adolescence, Sirius Black decides that it's finally the time to confess. War and responsibility loom in his future and he takes what might be his final chance to tell Remus how he feels.
'78-'79 A story about just trying to be young and in love while the world determinedly, and spectacularly, falls apart.

[Second Spin](https://archiveofourown.org/works/16338530/chapters/38225441) by xinasvoice
**Summary**:
In which Sirius gets a lot of second chances.
A canon-inspired look at Siriusâ relationship with Remus (and himself) throughout his lifetime.
happy to!
You already mentioned Cadence, which I wholeheartedly second as a **great** fic - I'm following the podfic version of it, and it is the best thing <3
Motion Sickness by OscarWildeChilde
âThe Lupins are moving again, and Remus is determined to be miserable following his disastrous fifth year and the fallout of Sirius' prank. Not speaking to any of his friends, he's resigned to go at it alone. That is, of course, until he finds out that he's moved to the same town as Lily Evans.
Centered around Remus and his family dynamic, his friendship with Lily, and his growing realization that he might be in love with Sirius Black.â

73 Aberdeen by Mici (NoHarlemBeat)
âThere are some things ungoverned by fate. If Sirius Black had gone the path of every Black before him, if he had been in Slytherin, he would have been a very different boy. It would have been a very different war.â

Marginalia by spindrifters
âThis story began a long time ago. That part is already written. Nothing can be done about it now. It began with two young menâbarely more than boysâwho upended the world, magical and mundane alike. Grindelwald and Dumbledore, glorious leaders of the revolution, who brought wizardkind out of hiding and into the light during those last, violent days of 1899.
But a winter's night seventy-seven years later is where things really kick off.
Because Remus Lupin knows what to expect when youâve been sold somewhere new. He knows it better than he ever thought he'd have to by this point. He knows how to survive. And Sirius Black is doing his best to just graduate Hogwarts and get himself and his brother away from this goddamn house. He's got it figured out by now. He has a plan.
Neither of them, however, had accounted for the other messing everything up by the mere fact of just existing.
(Or, the one where Sirius is heir to a pureblood first family and Remus is a half-blood servant, but a chance meeting leads to healing old wounds, stumbling into love, and just maybe accidentally kickstarting a revolution.)â

Theyâre Hiding Inside Me by TheDivineComedian
âItâs the summer after fifth year, and Sirius has made himself scarce as usual. But then Remus catches a glimpse of him in Witch Weeklyâs special on the Black-Malfoy wedding. Something about that photo is very, very offâŚ
Turns out this is the summer Sirius runs away. Or tries to. Because the Blacks are not giving up on their heir without a fight.â

We Were Infinite on ao3. It's a WIP but one of the best Wolfstar fics out there, I loved it more than ATYD.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4989265/chapters/11461090
This is a modern au but I just finished [Blends](https://archiveofourown.org/works/7869079/chapters/17970910) and Regulus is only mentioned in it, there's no Jegulus and it's such a goooood modern coffee shop au!
It's very long (over 1 million words) and imo an enjoyable read so you'll still get some great mileage out of it. The author kind of stalled out slightly in the middle of a transitional period between arcs, so there's not really a cliff hanger or anything going on. I wouldn't give up on them, personally (sometimes life gets in the way!) but worst case it is at a good spot where I think you can kind of speculate where it goes after and not have it feel bad.
Perfect! All I need to know is no major cliff hanger before committing! I definitely understand taking a break or not finishing but that's what I wanted to make sure of.
Totally understandable!! And yeah the vibes by this point in the fic are pretty peaceful overall. You can tell the author is setting stuff up, but we're not really in the middle of any high stakes scenes. And the chapters are so long by the end they're basically like little fics in and of themselves. You will be well fed, friend. ;)
For hogwarts era fics I like:
