Jegulus Fic Recs Pt2

me again, bothering you, but i am very interested in adhd james if you would like to share some of your hcs💖💖💖

you're not bother me at all! asks honestly give me so much serotonin. they really make my day :)

James was diagnosed really young. like, it was extremely obvious from the get-go that that child was not neurotypical

When he was a kid, he was very hyperactive. As he grew older, however, he sort of grew out of it. He has his high-energy days, but nothing to the caliber of child james

James was a menace as a kid

He was probably a backpack leash kid. you know exactly what I'm talking about

His parents are the ones who encouraged him to do sports a kid, just so he'd release some of that never-ending energy

James cycles through hyperfixations rapidly, and he hyperfixates on people a lot. Lily? He hyperfixated on her before. Sirius? You bet your ass. Literally anyone he's friends with, he probably hyperfixated on them at one point

My boy probably takes medication

Time just slips away from him. He's not a very punctual person because of that, but he really does try

He's the kind of person to have 1093843892 alarms on his phone that remind him to do the weirdest things. At least 6 of them are for waking up in the morning

delayed responses

"What?" "I said--" "Oh, the answer is [blank]"

James likes reading, but he cannot finish a book for the life of him

not interested? then he won't pay attention

horrible short term memory. frequently washes his hair twice because he couldn't remember if he already did. did he eat dinner already? don't ask James, he has no idea.

The Leg BounceTM

Impulsive. Sometimes dangerously so. No sense of self preservation

His spaces are organized chaos. It's messy, but he knows where everything is. At least, he knows most of the time

He may act like a very confident person, but James actually has a pretty low self image (yes, that's an adhd trait). One small mistake makes him question everything about himself

Horrible driver, but insists he's amazing. He drives like he's in a fast and furious movie

boredom is his worst enemy.

Is totally the kid that would forget a pencil all the time

Probably does his homework at the very last minute (on the drive to school, before the bell rings, etc etc), but somehow gets good grades on it???

makes Big Gestures when talking. He has, like, no control over his limbs and often hits people on accident. Profusely apologizes afterwards.

Watches television with the captions on. He can't understand what anyone is saying without them

When he's hyperfocused, he makes the strangest faces. Sirius always tells him that he'll get premature wrinkles if he keeps scrunching his face up like that

His notes app is a mess

His train of thought is constantly moving. It never stops. Never.

His biggest pet peeve is when people tell him he's "not trying" HE IS SHUT UP

James's adhd gets worse when he's playing sports. All the noise, all the moving, all the excitement-- it really sets off his hyperactivity, which is kind of a blessing when he's playing. It's like a life hack

Remus doesn’t thinks he’s hot as fuck because he isn’t his own type. His type is pretty boys with light eyes and devilish grins. He is a giant with no coordination and a pension for grandpa sweaters. This is why he’s immediately attracted to Sirius. Even Regulus and Barty trip him up once in awhile. Remus Lupin has a fucking type, okay.

James, on the other hand, is attracted to personality and vibes. His type is mean, a nice smile, and long fingers. This is why he knows he’s fucking hot, because his vibes are immaculate. This is also why he’s had a crush on Sirius, Remus, Lily, Regulus, Dorcas, Frank, and Marlene.

They’re both messes.

facts.

Regulus and Sirius are so protective of James that they’d torture and possibly kill for him. The thing is James doesn’t like it when they do that and he gets upset when he finds out if they do anything. So one time Regulus goes overboard because someone jinxed James’ broom that caused James to fall and break his ribs and arm. He nearly kills the culprit but Sirius stops him and takes the fault when James finds out. James would forgive his best friend but he wouldn’t easily forgive his boyfriend. And Sirius knows that and prefers taking the heat if it means Regulus and James being together and happy.

I love this 🥰

what the fuck ethan

James Potter is the definition of the word disheveled.

~~~♤~~~

He's always got that look in his eyes, you know the one.

He's kind a unfocused and his glasses are falling to the tip of his nose.

His hair is perpetually messy, he makes it look good but it's messy nonetheless.

He's always running around somewhere, probably knocking things over on his way.

Apologizes to inanimate objects... 100% apologizes to inanimate objects.

Says "wut?" Like a million times a day.

He replies to "Potter! >:(" better than he replies to his actual name.

Is so genuinely terrible at flirting its a little scary.

Tie always slung over his neck because he just... can't be bothered?

Buttons on his shirt done up wrong half the time.

Always late, Merlin help him.

Deer in headlights literally and figuratively.

He's got that total girly scream that follows with him clearing his throat and the deepest voice you've ever heard.

Dissociates from conversations then snaps back suddenly and nods along even though he has no idea what's happening.

"Mr. Potter!" "WASN'T ME!"

Will stare for a solid five seconds before processing what someone said.

Laughs louder than everyone else then quietly mutters "I don't get it"

He's a little wild, always up to something either dangerous or so stupid it should probably be considered dangerous.

Has ADHD.

That's it, he's just a little ADHD baby.

Can't go twenty seconds without pissing someone off.

Explodes with happiness.

Usually translates to smacking his friends repeatedly before pointing and shouting excitedly about something.

Pining after the same person for years even though they are SO MEAN TO HIM.

He actually loves it when they're mean to him.

He's just a chaotic mess and his friends love him so much

CRIMSON RIVERS

Divided the fic into 4 books with these covers:

and turned each book into an epub, for Kindle, Books, Google Books, GoodReads or other digital reading platforms that aren't just ao3.

I am making no money off this and all credit goes to the original cover artist, Micah Ulrich (find them on Twitter/X). I only did the rework into a more sleek epub format. Credit for the story goes, of course, to zeppazariel/bizarrestars on Archive of Our Own.

Also, have this sick-ass Regulus edit I found on TikTok for the fic! This post encourages you to read Crimson Rivers while listening to Hozier's Unreal Unearth!

The Sun & Wayward stars by TheBiButterfly has me kicking and squealing omg i loooooove jealous James
