Short Remus tall Remus do whatever you want but I always assumed lycanthropy from a young age would stunt your growth so Remus is short/average height and no one thinks much about it until they meet his parents who are both tall and then those in the know recognize yet another impact of being a werewolf 😌

would love to know anything about snow in June sequel 💙

hello! just to be completely honest, this is entirely in my head atm, but my thoughts are:

wolfstar have been together about 18 months

they live half in remus' cabin/half in sirius' brooklyn apt

jily are around with very young harry

everything is going pretty well

...until the brother sirius hasn't talked to in several years shows up 👀

i make no promises. i think it would be shorter than Snow in June and primarily focus on Black family trauma healing?? it's very vague, but i like the shape of it

so, like 2 years ago you made a tiktok, and I don't remember what the original tiktok was about (i don't think it's up anymore, honestly), but I do remember going back and forth in the comments about Lyall Lupin as a father and Remus's name, and i said 'i want to write a fic about that' bc you gave me a cool idea and you said let you know when it was up

and like, it's been 2 years... but it's up now!

sorry that it took so long to finish, i'm sure you don't remember that conversation, but it's been sitting at the back of my mind since 2023 and i felt like i needed to tell you

it's a one-shot 5k, half Remus realizing he's in love with Sirius, half the marauders finding out the backstory of Remus's name, all drunk shenanigans. it's called Truth or Dare. my AO3 is just WayTooTiredForThis. i'd love to tag your account as inspo if that's cool with you, but i didn't want to just do it out of nowhere

oh my gosh hi! that's so cool!! that conversation does ring a bell. i'm so sorry i'm just seeing this, i'm not great at tumblr. I'd be so flattered, thank you, and i can't wait to read it!

merthur??? please tell the class (me) more <3

and @lynxindisguise

hi! you both asked about this two weeks ago, plz forgive lateness

so the only fanfic i've read much of outside HP is Merlin, Twilight (i know) and a bit of Newsies. Merlin I actually got into by reading fics and then I watched the show. I've had Merthur reunion scenes in my head for a long time - like Arthur comes back to do the 'future' part of 'once and future king' and finds merlin is a small bit of a mess.

(this might sound familiar, on account of being the same plot as my 'better in the morning' 😝. Ah well, I do love a reunion trope)

Also - karf, i set this on the LES, so was going to consult you lol

I make no promises, but excerpt:

Arthur's stomach lurches with excitement as he lets his thumb fall on the little words. The map displays a line from where he sits, across the park and up a short side street. 

A four minute walk. 

Merlin is four minutes away. 

Hopefully.    

Honestly he better be, or Arthur is going to remember how to be a royal brat and throw a proper tantrum. 

Arthur has been searching for Merlin for three months. From the moment when his memories of that other life - his <em>real</em> life? it feels that way - came crashing back, finding Merlin has been the organizing principle of his life.

There Arthur was, twelve weeks ago, having a complete fucking mental breakdown in the ruins of Glastonbury Castle, his mind spinning with images of knights and dragons while his very real, present 12 year old year students goggled at him, and then Merlin’s face blocked out everything else. He thought <em>Ah, yes, you’ll make sense of this</em>. 

Arthur’s still waiting for Merlin to make sense of it. He’s glad that in the intervening months, he’s discovered some of their other friends. They’ve all stumbled across his path one by one, just normal people going through an average day until they lay eyes on Arthur and remember who they both were over 1500 years ago.

Gwen was the first, back in week one. He’d been abruptly put on leave from his teaching post when his bk working class accent transformed overnight and implacably into the most insufferable upperclass drawl Arthur had ever heard, and his administration gave him time off, assuming he was dangerously stressed. Arthur’d been reeling and wondering exactly how much of his mind he’d lost when he’d landed in the pub where Gwen tended bar. 

She’d taken one look at him, screamed and then thrown a rag at his head. She’d been fired on the spot. While he was trying to defend himself from her accusations in the street (“What kind of timing do you call this! You couldn’t have woken up earlier and stopped Brexit?!” “What the fuck was I supposed to do about it, I was NINE YEARS OLD!”), a tall, broad blonde man in a very nice suit stopped his purposeful striding to interrupt them. He got as far as grabbing Arthur’s shoulder and saying “Mate, cool it,” until he met Arthur’s gaze, blinked and immediately dropped to one knee with a deferential “Your Highness.” 

“It’s Arthur,” Arthur said automatically. 

“Arthur it is,” Percival said agreeably, before going white in the face and sitting on the pavement in shock.

And I can’t get enough of making Remus Lupin’s mind during this transformation, right? 🥹 I’m in love to draw something more psychedelic that represents this turbulent moment of his lycanthropy ✨

february fic recs ⋆ ༘⁀➷

the end of february means it’s, once again, time to shout about my favourite reads of the month! (same as last month, tagging authors i know the blogs of, but feel free to lmk if you want anything changed/removed) <3

multichapter:

Astronomia Nova by sreka (@smodernlife) - T, 35k. sirius raising harry, meets beautiful librarian remus and subsequently ruins a priceless book (meet-ugly everybody cheer!!). absolutely adored this!!

Be My Baby by pixelated (prettyremus) - M, 21k. dirty dancing au!! enough said just with that, really, but also the way queer themes are woven into the original story is so cool!

The Proctor House by @eyra - M, 5.2k, MCD. i honestly think it’s best to go into this one fairly blind. just let the beautiful writing take you where it wants to, it’s so so worth it. this one has stayed with me since i read it.

you don’t have to be alone (when you’re the place i wanna go) by @quiethauntings - E, 37k. remus reunites with his friends on a trip to the scottish highlands. nostalgia bottled into a fic! a very lovely depiction of loneliness and rekindling friendships. really beautiful!

Of Prefects, Pretence, and Precedent by Whoops_E - M, 121k. shouting this one out again because it’s now complete!!! i’m immediately diving in for a full reread. i go insane for this fic and specifically think about the grape jam chapter approximately 30 times a week.

oneshots:

nightlights by sadgeminimoon - T, 9.2k. single parent remus raising teddy, & sirius who helps out far too well. the pining!! adored this. i, too, would lose it if i came home to find sirius black doing a load of my laundry.

The Best By Far Is You by orphan_account - T, 13k. padfoot and moony are tumblr mutuals, while blind remus hires sirius as a reader for his classes. i believe this one is fairly well-known, but i only just got to it and it’s so so wonderful! there are also 7 more shorter oneshots (ratings vary) following this, all of which i subsequently inhaled. really recommend the entire Tumblr Trash series! (E, 35k total)

Perfect by wanderingdonut - T, 3.7k. ace4ace wolfstar learning to love each other :’) such a wonderful acespec story, i adored this <3

A Cup of Sugar by MsAlexWP (@languagelessonswolfstar) - T, 5.3k. harry pov feat. disabled harry and disabled remus (bonding!!). so sweet, such great disability rep, and adorable little peeks of wolfstar! loooved this!!

WIPs:

Let me Believe (Ever After) by @brigid-faye - M, 6/12, 47k. ever after: a cinderella story (1998) au! sad-eyed prince remus, riches to rags sirius. such great characterisations, relationships, and storytelling. i devoured these chapters so quickly!

Brave Face by @zoemillinwrites - M, 28/?, 252k, MCD. a canon-divergent, sirius-centric fic starting in hogwarts first year. such real and raw characters, being a little in love with your friends, and some of the cleverest, most unique magic explanations i’ve ever read. seriously, can’t emphasise enough how SO insanely cool the magic is!! (also shouting out the accompanying Story Shards WIP (E, 1/?, 4.3k) for some brilliant extra character studies!)

four thousand holes by aeridi0nis (@steelycunt) - E, 2/5, 41k. pride (2014) au. lesbians and gays support the miners; sirius is part of the organisation, remus is the son of a miner. truly so so obsessed with this premise. and the writing!! incredible, incredible prose.

As You Walk On By (Will You Call My Name?) by @imsiriuslyreading - M, 6/15, 23k, jily!!!! royalty au AND university au in one! royal james and eat-the-rich lily, creating such a fun jily dynamic. + a lovely dose of background wolfstar, too :)
