Going into their last year of study at the University of Manchester, Sirius and Remus have been dancing around a blooming crush for the last few years. Everything comes to a head right before their last fall term together and both boys think they’ve made a terrible mistake.

“What do you think it means?” Sirius’s voice is quiet, just above the music. Remus turns, coming face to face with him. His hazel eyes are glassy, gaze soft as it flits over Sirius’s face.

“What do you mean?” When Remus asks, Sirius’s brows furrow, the slice through his right eyebrow almost disappearing.

“Fate up against your will,” Sirius repeats almost reverently.

Remus bites his lip, the movement drawing Sirius’s eyes towards it.

“It’s inevitable.” His voice is soft, bordering husky.

I’ve been writing fanfic for a very very very long time and within the last few years I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of my fave people in my life. 

This fic started as me monopolizing Darcy’s (aka rotten_souldier) question box on her instagram and snowballed into a weird and wild friendship that’s blossomed over the last year. I am so lucky that something I’ve written is graced by Darcy’s drawings and that we get to share it with the fandom! 

Mongrel Minds is part of a Modern universe Darcy and I have created. The series is called Modern Love and there will be three fics within this story arc. I don’t have set post dates so this will be a slow update labour of love kind of thing. 

I just hope you love these guys as much as we do! As always fanfic is free to read on ao3 HERE Illustration by rotten_souldier (Instagram, Tumblr) Beta read by Beanz (Instagram, a03) Cover design by myself

--------------

It’s warm, soft light filtering through the curtains that Sirius forgot to pull closed last night. He’s on his back, staring at the ceiling, the plastic stars Remus had put up still glowing faintly. The same ones he has in his own room. There’s a moon, close to the light that Sirius insisted on having. It’s just above his head, a beacon in the night.

Remus is snoring quietly, the steady rhythm of his breathing just above the hiss of the radiator and Sirius turns. Rolling towards him, springs creaking and popping as the bed moves. He doesn’t have to worry about waking him, knows Remus will probably be out for another hour or two. Nothing but dead weight on the other side of the bed.

He’s hugging the pillow, face pressed into it, mouth parted. The furrow in his brow, the gentle expression of worry he always wears, is gone. Brow smooth, face calm. One of the few moments of the day Sirius gets to see him so serene.

Reaching out, Sirius brushes a few strands of hair off his face. He’s trying to get a better look. In the warm light, freckles blooming across his nose are just starting to appear like wildflowers fed by the sun. They line the corner of his lip, the side without the scars and Sirius trails his fingers over them.

Featherlight touch, tracing them like he’s committing them to memory. He could spend days exploring, mapping out every freckle on Remus’s face. Connecting them like constellations in the sky.

Stars surrounding the moon. Little love letters from the sun.

He’s focused, fixated on a cluster near his shoulder, disappearing in and out of the scars, when Remus moves. He sighs, chest heaving, arm moving blindly, reaching out and enveloping Sirius, pulling him in and Remus’s chest is warm.

“Love you.” he mumbles sleepily into Sirius’s forehead, lips pressed into his brow and he lets out a long breath.

“Love you too.” Sirius is right against him, nose to throat, arms wrapping around Remus��s waist. “You don’t want me to start breakfast?”

“Five more minutes.”

Wow my first foray into Marauders fandom and y’all are getting a wild one! Darcy and I are working together for Wolfstar kinktober to deliver something fun! We chose a few prompts with the over arching theme of roleplay and I rolled them into a kinky little oneshot. As the days go on I will add Darcy’s illustrations that she will be uploading to Twitter. 

PS hope you like punk Remus

MidnightToMoscow FanFiction Policies

As things start to gain traction and a bit of popularity I just want to put my policies in place so I’ve set some expectations and boundaries. Please note that opinions change and I have the right to update this if things change. At the end of the day, this boils down to consent for me, I want to be able to see where my work is going and give consent to things I want to be a part of. This is also VERY premature as nothing has happened with any of my works as of yet, but I would rather have something in place than have to react to a situation quickly. 

Binding: As of right now, I would like to treat this on a case-by-case basis. So much has happened in the bookbinding and fandom community (typesets being taken from public drives, copies of hand-bound books being sold for thousands of dollars, fics being printed through websites and sold for profit) that, for now, I would like to be contacted by both reader and binder. I am easily reachable (TikTok, Instagram, Tumblr, Ao3 and FF.net are always open) so please, if you’d like any of my fics bound, reach out and ask. I’m also relatively active within the binding community and can point you in the direction of ethical binders I would feel comfortable working with. 

Fanart (commissions) UPDATED 12/16/23: Go for it!! Honestly just tag me or send it to me so I can see how beautiful it is. Artists are important, fanfiction makes people feel things and they want to show it so go for it.

Downloads/epubs: Please, if you are going to download my work, do it directly from ao3. I am honoured that you want to read my work offline or enjoy it on an eReader etc. To me, and this is my own personal opinion, the best part about being an author within the FanFiction community is interacting with your readers, seeing comments in real-time, hits, kudos, likes etc. If you do decide to download my work from somewhere other than ao3 (I know some creators house folders on Discord or within their bios as they have created covers for fics and want to share them), please do not forget to come back and interact! Leave a kudos or comment on where you’re coming from and how you discovered my fic. At the end of the day, and this is purely selfish, I just want to chat and see where my work is going. 

Platforms: I only house my works on ao3 and FF.net, if you see my work anywhere but those two websites, please let me know as that is not me. 

Goodreads/Storygraph and other non-personal reading trackers: Please, do not add my work to these websites. I have had The Dangers of Falling Apart removed and would like all of my work to stay off of it. This is my own personal opinion, but I do not want my work to be rated, I do this out of joy and find ratings to take the joy from it. 

Fics of fics and transformative works: I do not mind people making fics of my fics, podfics, playlists, moodboards, social posts or anything in that vein of my work. I just ask that you please tag me or give me credit. I absolutely LOVE seeing everything and anything that people make and it brings me so much joy that someone would be inspired by something I’ve created. 

And finally! If you have any questions do NOT hesitate to ask. I love to chat! Send me a DM, you can find me pretty much everywhere as MidnightToMoscow (Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr, ao3).
