Selectively Mute Regulus Because Of Trauma. He Saw What Being Loud Did To Sirius, So He Chose To Stay

it’s not?

”After everything you’ve done, how will you sleep at night?” How can you rest easy knowing everything you had to do to get home, slaughtering sirens and sacrificing your crew and reducing a god to begging? How can you live your happily ever after knowing it was built on lives lost? How can you excuse your own unforgivable actions?

“Next to my wife.”

Because it will have been worth it. I will have gotten home and made it back to my wife and son, and every minute of these 20 years, every life lost, all the ruthlessness and monstrous deeds will have been worth it to get there. I will rest easy knowing I completed my journey and made it home.

Legends of avantris should do like an april fools one shot or something where, similar to the other one shots, they bring together characters from different campaigns except they’re all playing each other’s characters. Like put Richie in a backwards baseball hat and sit him in Andy’s seat and make him play booker or something. Put Mikey in glasses and have him play frost. And so on and so forth and at no point in the entire stream do they address that they are not Andy or Derek or whatever. Do you see my vision

Expanding on this because I have had Thoughts.

In his letter telling them to watch Torbek, Mr. Witch (or maybe Light, I don't remember) tells the Krew that Frost is fine, but will only stay fine if they watch Torbek. What if they called his bluff? What if Kremy thought he wouldn't possibly actually do something to Frost and the others agreed, and Gideon is all about freedom and Gricko, I think, out of all of them cares the most about Torbek, so they give Torbek the choice to go and explain the situation to him, probably at Gricko's insistence, just like he insists on it in Twig's Inn in the canon storyline. He decides to stay because Torbek wants to help Frost out.

So then they go back to Mr. Witch and Mr. Light and refuse to turn Torbek over, probably planning to threaten Mr. Witch and Mr. Light into giving Frost back, only they refuse to return him because they need someone to send to the Feywild and Frost was their backup all along because they saw how powerful he was in the Big Top Extravaganza and figure he could survive the torture. They do like him better than Torbek, who's been a pain in their asses for a weeks, but he did bring the happiness of the carnival down and bring up some painful memories for Mr. Light.

So Mr. Light has Burly or someone shackle Frost up (possibly with some kind of power suppressing shackles, similar to how the Krew had to distract Torbek for an hour so they could find strong enough shackles) and bring him to the mirror to Prismeer, where either one of the hag's minions or someone working for the doctor come and pick him up, and Burly uses the poem to open it, and the Krew sneaks after him and hear the password, so the Krew goes through the mirror. But because of the passing of time being all wonky, all signs of Frost are already gone.

All the regular stuff happens, but with Torbek instead of Frost. The Krew is at the Inn at the End of the Road trying to get some rest and find Frosty when they see a familiar figure out the window with a horrible magenta glow to his eyes they of course immediately recognize him, and let him in, only to realize that he's now a horrific mutated version of himself.

And then they have to fight Frosty, and I do think they would be a lot more hesitant to hurt Frost than Torbek. Gricko might just outright refuse to hurt Frosty, but Frost would still go after him and horribly injure him. And once Frost is no longer under the influence of the Witchlight he would feel horrible and try to separate himself from the others to protect them and probably refuse to see gricko because he hurt him (Grimmorning angst, romantic or no) and Kremy would feel bad because it was his idea to csl Mr. Witch and Mr. Light's bluff and look how that turned out, but of course my emotionally repressed lizard man wouldn't do anything about it. aakdmskkfjakfjfj I want this au so bad.

Spoilers for Once Upon a Witchlight Episode 8 and onward

Currently imagining an AU where instead of having them trade Torbek to get Frost back, Mr. Witch just sends Frost into the feywild to get experimented on. Frost becoming the one possessed by The Other. Frost, who so greatly values his mind and his control of it losing control. The other's reaction to learning Frost is GONE. The Krew going into the feywild to save their friend instead of Zabilna. The Krew having to fight Frosty because he lost control. Frost's guilt after attacking his family. Oh my god

spoiler warning for episode 36 of Once Upon a Witchlight!

I cannot believe they just… created democracy and stabilized a political system? What? Huh?

I've been having jaw problems for about half a year now, so whenever it hurts my brain just goes "my fucking jaw, Gricko" and It's gotten to the point that any pain prompts a "my fucking [body part] Gricko"

Whenever my legs act up I just have "my fucking LEGS, gricko!" Repeat in my mind

How dare you sir

Autism be damned, my firbolg grandpa can play a mean Parcheesi

Regulus being so certain that he can't cast a patronus bc he's too bad a person

Sirius choosing to do his annual good brotherly deed and teach him how

Sirius being so certain it would be a lion or a cat and then having to try and keep a straight face and stop all his blood vessels from bursting when it's a stag

Because it could mean nothing...but he knows better than that. There is absolutely no way that's just what it always was.

And now I wanna write a oneshot about it 😭

Reblogging so I don’t forget about this

Reg lives au where he looks so different after the cave (prosthetic leg, deep scars all up his arms and face, one dead eye, a bit of a tremor sometimes) that when Sirius eventually gets out of Azkaban and moves back in, he doesn't recognise him at all. Regulus takes it as Sirius' memory being so fuzzy due to the dementors and dark/harrowing setting that he didn't bother clinging to the memory of people he didn't care about

so from there it's easy to keep his cover as 'Lycan' long-term member of the order, dumbledore's second most trusted man, famously vague and impossible to research

The ruse only fails when one day he accidentally calls Sirius 'Ris' and he KNOWS because nobody else calls him that and oh hell how did he not recognise his own eyes looking back at him and what the fuck happened to his Reggie?

(I'm writing it guys)
