The adoption office - a wolfstar microfic

@wolfstarmicrofic - January 19: First Kid - Words 419

Remus had never really believed he was fit to be a father. He had his own health problems to take care of and he didn't have any particular hand with children. But it was important to Sirius and they were both approaching their forties, so he had agreed.

They looked solemnly at each other and stepped inside the adoption office adjacent to St Mungo's to hand in all the paperwork they had filled out. Remus still doubted they would actually let him - a werewolf - adopt anyone, but then he at least could tell Sirius he had tried.

A witch with big curly hair and pink glasses took their papers and smiled warmly.

"We will go through this and get back to you in a couple of weeks. Any questions?"

Remus shook his head, but Sirius started asking about the process and the children. The witch prattled on and Remus found himself studying the paintings and fiddling with the pamphlets on the desk.

"Do you only get children from St Mungo’s?"

"Oh, no, we take cases from the whole country. But we find the location fitting. The access to medical expertise is welcome and there are a number of children that get orphaned here, after all. Abandoned at birth or left behind deceased parents. Last week there was a girl abandoned after being bitten by a werewolf."

"What?!" Remus demanded, now looking intently at the witch.

"Yeah, it's tragic. No one knows for sure, since there hasn't been a full moon yet since she was bitten, but the healers say she's most likely infected."

"Any chance those papers could be done before then? The next full? We want to -"

Remus cut himself short and looked to his side. Sirius was staring at him. Of course he was, Remus was being an idiot. Only because Sirius accepted Remus' condition, what said he'd be willing to have another inconvenience in his hair?

"Sorry", Remus mumbled, "I just thought that would be someone we could really help. I mean... someone who could actually benefit from having... me."

Sirius put a reassuring hand on his lower back and smiled softly.

"Of course, love. It'd be perfect."

The witch flipped through their papers. "I see. I think we can quicken up the process in this case. Expect an owl before the weekend."

Remus chuckled in both relief and anticipation and pulled Sirius close to his side.

The witch winked at them. "And maybe stock up on clothes and things for a four-year-old."

It was a weekly highlight for me over the past month. Thank you so much Alex to have created such haven away from the current real word... 💜

Dear Mr. Black is finished!! For anyone who wants to escape into a soft little cottagecore world of innkeeping, baking, true love, a little boy with two mummies and one daddy, and wishing on stars for one more daddy. 💫

social media has got twenty year old women thinking they have to be a "clean girl" at university with a morning routine and face masks and expensive water bottles and a 9pm bedtime. I am begging the world to let young women go through a crucial developmental stage of being disgusting messy little rats. for feminism.

Sirius doesn’t feel sad, he just feels empty. His little star just burst.

“I’m fucking freezing.” Barty took one more drag of his cigarette while the rest of the group nodded.

“We need to stop smoking,” Regulus said, shivering. 

The smoking area outside their building was packed. The weather was awful, but that had never stopped them—or the other twenty students crammed into the space—from starting their mornings with a cigarette.

They’d made a pact to quit smoking once, but it didn’t even last a week. Inevitably, they found themselves back in the same circle.

Remus joined them moments later, with Sirius right beside him. 

Regulus had gotten used to it by now, his brother and his boyfriend hanging out with his friends — at least in this setting. Sometimes Peter would join them, always rolling his own cigarettes like the pretentious bastard he was. Regulus hated to admit it, but they did taste better.

��Oh, there you are,” a warm, familiar voice came from behind him.

James. 

Even buried under an unnecessary number of layers James looked good. Regulus found himself distracted by his arms, his thighs, his—everything. His mind wandered, picturing all the ways they could keep each other warm.

“It’s freezing, I can’t believe you guys are too fucking addicted to tortute yourselves like this," James said.

In unison, everyone immediately told him to fuck off. Everyone except Regulus.

His friends, his brother, and even Sirius’ friends turned to him, eyebrows raised, waiting for the comeback they all knew was coming. But Regulus stayed silent.

One by one, they drifted away as they finished their cigarettes, leaving only Barty and Regulus behind.

Barty grinned knowingly.

“No. I won’t discuss this with you,” Regulus spoke before Barty opened his mouth. 

“Since when do you hold back?” Barty teased.

Regulus only shrugged in response. 

“Don’t tell me you want to fuck Potter.”

“Finish your cig. We have class,” Regulus replied, stubbing out his cigarette and turning away just in time to hide the blush creeping up his neck.

Actually, I will fuck James Potter, Regulus thought to himself.

If you feel the insatiable need to rate, please go serve as a teacher and get yourself off by rating tones of copies. Or grow up out of school... you've been formated so fucking efficiently by the old school (sic) rating system that you lost the scope of creating and sharing just for the beauty of it. I hope for you you don't rate trees when you walk in a forest....

hey here’s ur not so friendly reminder that authors can SEE your bookmarks. we also don’t enjoy the fact that we put out projects for fun and for free and to some people that reads as, let me give this a quantitative value on a scale in which i will rate….? what? the quality? the plot? characters? flow?

don’t rate fanfiction, but especially don’t rate it publicly. i don’t care how good u think it is or not. funny enough i actually didn’t ask!

[annaliza999]

Me also!

Me reading fanfiction: This is everything I’ve ever wanted.

Me reading books: Who are these people? Where is Remus?

[annaliza999]

big bad wolf

i’m back at my marauders bullshit😌 apparently once you’re in this fandom you’ll never get out

[annaliza999]

This is so amazing!!!! I also adore the scenes where Sirius interacts with Moony (as a wolf) and this cover raisonates with the feelings I had reading them...

Such a blessing to be so talented that you can print beautiful books as pieces of art.

The perfect contenant for the beauty of Marigold writings.... congrats!

(Does the writer gets to receivea copy of her book in such magnified shape??)

Dunes and Waters by @marigold-hills

With amazing art by @a-sunset-outside-my-window and @hoje--aqui

The cover design is printed on book cloth I made out of fabric and getting the colors right is not as easy as it might be.

Endpapers with headband (it’s more berry than pink)

Letters and separator

And of course the footnotes.

I love love love footnotes in books (blame Terry Pratchett) and I was so happy to include them in this typeset ❤️

At last a credible explanation of Peter's betrayal!!! This is canon for me now !

Peter realised that everyone was doing couple costumes for Halloween 1981 but he didn't have anyone to do an outfit with so he made that EVERYONES problem

[annaliza999]

[annaliza999]

If I were to have a tatoo, that would be it. The wolf and dog are stunning!

Sirius Black wears thongs. Okay bye!

[annaliza999]

Regulus: I’m proud to identify as morosexual. I’m attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively. Someone asked me what the french word for "baguette" was once, and now I dream of kissing them under the moonlight.

James: What kind of animal is the Pink Panther?

Regulus, already taking off their clothes: God, James, you’re so fucking stupid.

Knowing history is important. By respect for those who lived it, but also to be educated in your present and future. Education and knowledge are empowering. It is especially important when some fights need to be fought repetitively...

I think some of y’all missed several days in queer history class so I’m just gonna put this as simply as I can:

If we accept the fact that lycanthropy is an AIDS metaphor (JKR has said she intended it as such so idk what to tell you), then it’s actually NOT queerphobic to extrapolate from that that Remus should be read as queer. I would argue that it’s more of an issue to read him any other way.

I know some of y’all like to make a big fuss about how it’s problematic because AIDS isn’t a gay disease. Babes, idk how to tell you this, but in the historical context in which Harry Potter was written, in the real fucking world during the AIDS crisis, for all intents and purposes, yes it was.

The powers that be in the US and UK governments knowingly and intentionally let the AIDS crisis get as bad as it did because of their belief that it was a gay disease. Were they correct? Did it ONLY kill gay men? No. But did it disproportionately affect gay men? Yes. Did we lose MASSIVE numbers of gay men during the 80’s and 90’s because the government was letting them die on fucking purpose? Baby, yes we did.

And to erase that from a text which is ostensibly a metaphor for that disease is to erase the violence enacted upon that specific population. They died quietly, and without fanfare, and so you have been allowed to forget that their deaths were targeted. They were targeted with inaction on a deadly disease and they were targeted because they were gay. It doesn’t matter if you like it. In the 80’s and 90’s, when the lycanthropy metaphor was written, when the books take place, AIDS was a gay disease.

Further, in that context, it only makes sense to read Remus as queer. The “one good werewolf” in this lycanthropy=AIDS=queerness simply cannot be read as straight.
