I'm all about Reg hating James because he stole his brother alright but what about Sirius hating Severus because he stole his brother. Then his brother died because he followed Severus around. That's the real angst. Thanks.
All for today. Enjoy

Love your ship opinions! They’re so much fun. If you’re still answering them… how do you feel about Severus/Regulus as a ship?
thank you very much for the ask, anon!
here is a little, tiny spoiler for my fic scylla and charybdis… severus and regulus are going to hook up.
it’s not, however, going to be great [and it is… not the main ship of that piece…].
i’ve written before about how much i hate the standard fanon characterisation which has coalesced around regulus - above all the fact that it always seems to make him incredibly sweet, when he is, canonically, someone who was keeping a pro-terrorist moodboard above his bed.
which means that the snegulus i’m writing has, as part of it, a regulus who is not a particularly nice person and whose traits therefore impact the relationship in a way which makes it quite toxic.
above all, as we know from sirius, regulus was not only someone who was a sincere blood-supremacist in his youth, but also someone who believed utterly in the restrictive class structures which govern the wizarding world. he’s obsessed with family and lineage and duty [including the duty to produce more purebloods, which means he’s… conflicted, to say the least, about his attraction to another man], and this is going to be in constant tension with the fact that snape clearly hates the classism baked into wizarding society, which sees doors close in his face for the crime of being poor, having a muggle surname, and having a regional accent.
and, indeed, this tension causes conflict within their shared interest in voldemort. it’s clear in canon that snape’s attraction to the death eaters is because voldemort - himself shut out of the social class he considers his birthright because his name is tom riddle rather than tom gaunt - offers him a way to transcend class barriers and become important simply because of his magical talent. regulus, in contrast, obviously believes that voldemort’s aim is oligarchy - and that his assault on the ministry will end with a pureblood minister of magic being appointed and the old families given the respect he thinks they deserve. he’s not going to understand why voldemort is highly likely to prefer snape - whose personality is strikingly close to his own, and whose background is obviously something voldemort is sympathetic to - and i am wedded to the idea that regulus becomes quite unpleasant once he realises that he is not the dark lord’s favourite death eater just because he’s a black. snape, himself prone to jealous rages, isn't going to lie down and take that...
still… it’s probably a more fulfilling relationship than jegulus.
