#❛ the wolf ❜ [ muse; remus lupin ]

[pcrfectstorms]

━━ ✦ remus lupin childhood headcanons

━━ ✦ where he's from; lyall lupin met his muggle wife hope in sydney, australia while on assignement by the ministry to document and study the discovery of several new species of magical creatures. for the first three years of his life remus grew up under the hot australian sun, until his father's assignment was over and the lupin family moved back to britain, settling back in the welsh countryside.

━━ ✦ growing up with lycanthropy; after remus was bitten, and afflicted with lycanthrope at age five, his father became obsessed with finding a cure, shipping his small child all over the wizarding world in search to no avail for a cure, it caused a lot of fights and turmoil between hope and lyall; hope who wanted her baby to have as normal a childhood as possible, despite being far from what humans or wizards alike would consider 'normal'. this of course, lead little remus to being accutely aware from a young age that he was not like his peers; that he was different, wrong, something to be hidden away, something shameful, and that seed grew within remus.

after much heated discussion it was decided that remus would attend a muggle school in his early years, hope was adamant that he should recieve a properly rounded education, especially if he were to go off to hogwarts in his secondary school years. lyall did protest this, insisting that remus attend a magical primary school but ultimately it was battle that hope won, and remus attended the local village primary school a year later than his peers at age six, however his childhood outside of school was lonely, his father too afraid to let him out of his sight for long, so while his peers enjoyed school trips and sleepover, and play dates with friends, remus was alone for a lot of his early years. so, he found solace in books, in fantasy worlds where he wasn't the outsider, the freak, the secret -- he would spend hours lost in books, his mother would read to him often, and he treassured that time with her. unlike his father she didn't treat him like he was an abomanation, something to be fixed, to hope, he was just her little remy.

as a direct result of his fathers distain for his condition, remus didn't think much of the magical world, he thought it to be judgemental and cruel, so when his invitation to hogwarts arrived on the morning of his 11th birthday on the 10th of march 1971 he wasn't much impressed, however despite his reservations at hogwarts he made some of the very best friends he could have ever wished for, and soon enough, he went from being a lonely child with no friends to three of the very best friends he could have wished for in the form of james potter, sirius black and peter pettigrew. a little later came along the girls too, the m&m's as remus would affectionately call them - mary macdonald and marlene mckinnon, and of course last but not least his very good friend lily evans.

━━ ✦ worth noting; that while my remus is trans masc, i have little intention of making that a central focus on his character development, especially within magical verses, however in non-magical verse this will explored a little more, as my entire reason for headcanoning him as trans is 1) a fuck you to jkr and 2) because werewolves and vampires have long been used as an allegory for queer in cinema and literature, and thus, makes more sense for this to play a more central role in non-magical verses. he's still trans, and idgaf that its the 70's in canonical marauders timelines, trans people have always existed.

You’re convinced your new roommate hates you. 

Honestly, it was just your luck that your apartment resident portal matched you with a rando that won’t tell you any details about his home life, the fancy boarding school he went to, or anything he does for work (he’s in law enforcement, he says—though you’ve thrown his worn laundry in the dryer for him before with no evidence of a uniform and he’s always been pretty frugal… maybe he’s a clerk?).

Totally not suspicious at all.

But rent is fucking expensive these days for you to not have a roommate, and he seems nice enough, for now. Remus plays Bowie on his record player in the evenings at respectable volumes, washes the dishes since you hate doing them and always leaves chocolate for you with little notes if he’s going out to see his mother who gets sick a lot.

Plus, he’s pretty handy around the apartment—so much so that a single woman like you can’t complain—he reaches for things on high shelves, carries all your groceries in from the car, and minds his business for the most part until his friends come over—which makes the million dollar question: why doesn’t he live with them? The boys come over and knock down your door, then Sirius and James always drag you out for a pint  instead of leaving you to work on your thesis while the other rat-faced one eats all your snacks and… Remus just sits there with his nose scrunched up not saying anything, always on edge. He just sits uncomfortably at the opposite end of the room all bunched up like he’s ready to run at any given moment.

Maybe he tolerates you at best, a few nods and soft ‘Hello’s are all you get throughout the week. Or maybe you have bad breath? Is that why in the half year you two have lived together you haven’t been together for more than 10 minutes?

What’s worse is that he’s painfully attractive. Like rugged, in a sexy, 2000s male lead in a rom-com sort of way, his thick brows always furrowed and an expression that makes you think that he has something to get off his chest, but he never says more than a handful of words. In short, the only possible reason for your roommate avoiding you is that Remus Lupin hates you with his entire being.

It has to be.

You’re convinced of the fact on a particular Friday night as you hop around the apartment with one boot on, your belt unbuckled, and hair still sopping wet. It’s a rare occasion for you to go out with your own friends and not hole yourself up at home, but the cabin fever is starting to make you itch. Remus has been watching your figure bob around your shared place, eyes bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball. His scarred hands are gripping his mug tightly as he takes a large sip of tea, terrible posture evident in the way he’s draped over the settee.

“M’going out tonight,” you muse, smiling at him as you walk down the hallway, peeking at your reflection in the bathroom mirror before turning to him. Remus nods politely, “Right. That’s good.” You don’t think you’ve heard him say more than a sentence and so you shrug, leaning against the doorway, “You got plans tonight?”

“Staying in. Feeling a bit under the weather,” he gulps. Remus is tucked under the periwinkle throw blanket you got from TK Maxx for the sofa you both found on Facebook marketplace. He looks cozy, snuggling into the fleece and watching you brush your hair with his tired eyes.

“Aw, Remus. You gonna be alright?”

He sniffs, his face making that pinchy expression again as you come near, “S’all good. You should get going, don’t wanna be late for your…thing.” He doesn’t mean to be rude, but you’re too overwhelming the way you are, your scent permeating through the air even from his spot on the couch and it’s taking all of his willpower to tone down his furry little problem that begs for a taste. He looks away, physically biting his tongue as a reminder.

Now your face scrunches at his reaction, not understanding why he’s so detached from your niceties. Spinning around until your eyes flicker to the mirror and your form, you close the bathroom door gently, before inspecting yourself meticulously. Your outfit is new, and you’ve just sprayed on your favorite perfume earlier… maybe….

You raise an armpit and take a sniff.

Nope. 

What the fuck is this guy’s problem?

After a small pep talk, you swing the door open and step out. Surely, he’ll tell you what’s wrong if you ask him upfront. Sure, it might be ill-timed to get into a conversation that might make or break your living arrangement right before you go out to the club with your friends, but as you’re pacing down the hall you think there is no better time to do it. It would eat at you all night and ruin your fun, after all.

The living room is empty now, blanket folded over and draped on the ottoman and you swivel towards the other end of the hall, “Remus?” you call out meekly. So much for confidence. He’s probably went to bed, or again he just hates you. 

There’s a slight chill when you stick your hand out the window, so you make your way over to the laundry room where you left your leather jacket last, and when you go to flick the light on—-

There stands your lovely roommate, sniffing a black polka-dotted pair of your panties.

“WHATTHEFUCK?” “MERLIN!”

You’re pointing at each other, mouths gaping in shock as he backs towards the washing machine as he chokes on his spit, face as red as a tomato, “I can explain!’

“Oh you better! I….” you blurt, scanning the room for a weapon and swinging the bottle of detergent at his head, “Talk, freak!”

“I thought you LEFT ALREADY!”

The look on your face is more mortified than he thought it would be but how does he explain that every inch of this place smells of you? Your pheromones reek from your pores like a sultry perfume and he can’t get enough, unconsciously walking closer like a cartoon character hypnotized by the smell of pie. Stumbling over a discarded piece of clothing, he staggers back as you get in his face and whack him in the chest, once with your hand and then twice with your jacket you were looking for.

“You—fucking—weirdo!”

Remus flinches, raising his arms against your attack, “Godric, just forget you saw this happen, please—OW!” Eyes fixed in a glare, you stand in front of him with a finger prodding at his chest, “Give that back!”

“They’re clean!”

Your hands wrench the cotton out of his hands and hold them close to your chest, “They’re NOT! Lie to me again and I swear I’ll call the police!” The sandy-haired man throws his head back seemingly in laughter and you purse your lips, realizing that he is the police, in some sorts. Unless that’s a lie too.

“I can’t believe this is happening to me,” Remus grumbles as he takes a deep breath, “Let me explain, I… I can’t help it. You smell too good.”

What the fuck.

From the way your eye is twitching and how your chest is heaving as you clutch your panties, he knows it’s not a good enough response but fuck there’s a lot on the line here, and he doesn’t know where to start, “I…fucking hell, I’m a werewolf, okay?”

“Really? Now? God, you have terrible timing.” 

Remus blinks slowly, and you laugh at him, jaw still tense but at least you’re laughing at him, “I mean really, you have to come up with better excuses—I kinda had a hunch after our 3rd full moon and you left to go see your mom. Is she even really sick? You’ve giving the woman bad karma.”

He shakes his head, jaw gaping at how nonchalantly a muggle is taking this news. Shouldn’t you be running away in fear by now? Clearing his throat, “Um, yeah. So your pheromones,” he sniffs, “smell really, really good to me. Like a seven layer chocolate cake. I think our cycles are matched up.”

Is that his idea of a joke?

At least he doesn’t hate you, you reason, slowly closing the door to the laundry room behind you with a quirk in your lip, “I thought I smelled bad or something, with the way you look at me.”

“I think my face just looks like this. M’sorry. You’re not scared?”

He’s closer to you now, arms circling your frame like a predator on the prowl, waiting for you to make a move. But you step closer to him, baring your neck and giving him permission to eat you up if he wishes. Licking your lips, you whisper, “James almost blew up my cellphone with his wand last week when I tried to show him a Youtube video. You’re all weird ones, aren’t you?”

“That okay?” 

The silence in the small room feels reverent now, his fingers pressing against your wrists as he holds them at your waist—voice so low it makes you shiver.

“I didn't say it was a bad thing.”

Hopefully he can think of a way to make it up to you. But the way you let him graze his nose up your arm and back you against the door as he takes a big, deep inhale….is a good start.

"I want one." I'd said, without even thinking.

Harry had just started to crawl. Lily was hovering over him rather nervously, wand at the ready to fix any bumps or bruises whilst James (who was very frazzled, but also very chuffed for his son) tried to figure out how to work the 'bloody muggle photo-thingy'.

Inside the Potter's living room, filled with laughter and joy, and so so much love for each other (and Baby Harry) it was all too easy to forget about the war. It was easy to forget the identifying questions James had made us answer on arrival, or the incantation we'd had to perform just to be able to see James and Lily's home. It was easy to forget the missions Sirius and Remus were being sent on, stretching out over weeks and days, or the missing muggles, witches and wizards, the rising death toll, the insistent nagging from The Dark Lord to change allegiances and join him.

On a lazy Sunday, where Lily would make soup and crusty rolls for lunch, and a roast for tea, where James and Sirius would spend hours transforming between their anamagi to amuse Baby Harry and Remus would read aloud whilst Peter and I played chess, it was easy to forget everything wrong with the world. It was so easy to just exist.

Remus looked up over the cover of his book and then down at his nephew, who was now sitting atop Padfoot, his father laughing maniacally whilst Lily shooed them out of the kitchen. He smiled an odd sort of smile, like he hadn't expected the words to come out of my mouth at all. Ever. Honestly, neither had I. Having children had been the last thing on my mind, in that time. But seeing the joy that Harry had brought to our friends, the life that Lily and James were building for him - it inspired me.

"Well," Remus mused, sitting his book down on the coffee table - careful to mind the cups of scattered tea everywhere - "I'll distract Lily. You could take Prongs in a duel. Easy."

His smile was wicked, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he came from the single arm chair to the sofa I was stretched across. He lifted my legs, sat them back on his lap, arm stretched along the back of the sofa behind me. I rolled my eyes at him, pouting, "You know fine well that's not what I meant, Lupin."

Remus laughed. A rare laugh, these days. My heart melted. He looked so much like the boy I'd fallen in love with all those years ago - the quiet (not at all quiet), studious, mysterious Remus Lupin. Little had I known he was the true mastermind to all 'Marauder' pranks, while remaining studious and mysterious, but also being the biggest, most sarcastic loud mouth I'd ever met. I had been in way too deep ever since.

"I know, love, I know." He patted my shin gently, lovingly.

He was thinking, behind those big, hazel eyes. I knew Remus inside and out, the moral debate was eating him alive. The self doubt, the inner fear he held of himself, of the wolf.

"I guess I never much thought of us having children. Of you wanting to have them, really, with me..." Remus looked pitiful, lost in thought, I frowned.

"Why wouldn't I want to have children with you? They'd be the prettiest, smartest, funniest babies to ever walk the Earth." I said confidently.

This earned me another laugh. Then, a shrug, "I dunno," Remus scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "The wolf, I guess. It's not really one hundred percent that the kid wouldn't be."

I knew the possibility. But I also knew the progress that was being made in the ways of Lycanthropy. I knew how hard it had been for Remus, growing up. I knew he was cast aside, an afterthought, that people held prejudice against 'his kind', but I'd only ever loved him more for the strong man it had turned him into.

Not everyone was like this, though.

"I know the risks. I know you'll have put a lot more thought into it than me. A conversation for another time, maybe, but I'd like you to know," My hands reached for his face, guiding him to meet my eyes, "It would never be the wolf that put me off having children with you, Remus."

Remus smiled, a genuine smile and leaned forward to place his lips on mine. I settled back into the sofa, watched as Remus picked up his book, settling over my shins to read it.

"Your massive head..." I blew a whistle, "Now that might put me off."

Sirius cackled from the kitchen. Remus blew a raspberry and Harry copied him.

Thought it was a silly tradition?

dad! remus lupin x mum! reader

Summary: Remus hates dressing up, especially when halloween was over a month ago, but the tradition is worth it for his girls

Warnings: swearing, established relationship, mom! reader, dad! remus, pure fluff, their daughter is named after remus' mum

A/n: 0.8k words, Day One of my advent calendar is a little fluffy one based on this request xx a masterlist for the event will be coming Saturday as I have a conference at uni tomorrow

Navigation | Remus Lupin Masterlist

“I don’t understand why we have to dress up” you hear Remus grumple entering the kitchen as you search for a safety pin

“It’s tradition” you counter with a giggle, hand racking some of the larger things off to the side within the drawer you’re looking through

The tradition of having a halloween party on the 1st of December had started back in your last year at Hogwarts, when you, your fellow marauders, Lily, Marlene and Dorca had gotten detention for a full month after plans of your original party had been leaked. So Sirius and James being Sirius and James decided to throw one on the 1st instead, then the following year thought it would be a laugh to do the same thing again and the rest was history. Now even 9 years later you were all still dressing up along with all of your respective children 

He huffs at that, picking up the just boiled kettle to pour himself some coffee “Merlin this thing is itchy” he states and you can see in the corner of your eye your husband shaking his head from side to side as he stirs his drink

“Found it” you say mostly to yourself, though Remus’ acute hearing most likely picked it up

Remus joins your side looking down at the little pin between your fingers “Rip your outfit bun? Or has your tail fallen off” he teases, leaning to the side to catch glimpse of your arse thats adorned with a little ball of grey puff

You chuckle, nudging him gently as not to spill his coffee “No it’s for Hope” you tell him and his eyes soften

“Are you two ever going to tell me what character she is?” he wonders, all the information he was given was Hope saw a cartoon and wanted them all to dress up, him as some kind of fox, you a police bunny which was one, apparently a thing and two, rather fitting given your animagus “She some bunny…fox hybrid?” he muses but you don’t budge

“Patience Mr wolf” you peck his lips “All in good time, no following me you stay outside the door” you warn as you walk back towards your daughters room with him in tow

“Fine fine” he holds one hand up, resting his back on the wall beside the door frame as he sips his coffee, smiling as he hears his daughter giggle with you “Can I get a hint?”

“No” you both call out together before more laughter bubbles, he tries not to listen in too hard, ruin the surprise you and Hope are clearly excited for, but he does let himself indulge in your soft spoken words while fixing her costume, as well as the small ‘I love you mumma’ Hope whispers back

“Okay is daddy ready?” you say towards the door and Remus places his cup down in preparation, smiling as you come out with little bunny ears and then his daughter as a…cheetah?

He looks towards you smiling yet with a questioning look “Cheating on me?” he jokes quietly but your daughter catches, pouting

“No dad, Cheetah…” he bounces on the balls on her feet “...see i have the spots” she points to her onesie under the police uniform

“Oh of course” he kneels down, fake surprise so as not to upset her while trying to laugh at his daughter's innocence “So who are you pup?” he asks kissing her onesie clad forehead as not to ruin her face paint

“Ben!” she chirps happily earning a chuckle from you and Remus

“And who is daddy?” he asks next

“You’re Nick!” she says, slowly getting more excited

“And mummy?” he smiles wide, unable to stop himself at the sight of his daughter so giddy

“Officer Hopps” you reply for her, doing a little power pose before kneeling down to which Remus kisses your cheek and then Hopes as he knows she’ll get jealous if he doesn’t “Crime fighting trio aren’t we baby” you endearingly scrunch your nose up at her

Hope nods quickly, cutely “Yeah!” she exclaims happily but her expression falters a little bit as she turns back to him “You like my costume?” she asks quietly, looking down at him with those bunny eyes she could only have inherited from you

“I love it, best costume yet and we are so going to win the costume contest” he assures her, hands finding her shoulders and giving them a quick squeeze at the end

She grins at that, cheesing away “Why don’t you put on some shoes honey? Then we’ll head to Uncle Prongs house” you tell her and she practically sprints as fast as a cheetah into her room to do so “I hate dressing up” you mock your husband's voice 

“Fuck off” he pokes your side before standing up, holding out his hand to help you as you do the same 

“Thought it was a silly tradition?” you raise your eyebrows, he knows you know the answer, it happens every year but your eyes still light up every time

“And it is…but when it makes you and her shine like that...” his hands find your hips, pulling you closer to him "...it's a little less silly and always worth it"

You nudge your nose with his “Good answer” you whisper before capturing his lips in a soft, prolonged kiss that's only interrupted a few seconds later by your daughter 

“Ewww!”

Thank you for reading ♡

Trials and Tribulations of Sorts

@wolfstarmicrofic​

For the prompt: dubious

Cross-posted to ao3 with minor edits: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44490901

Remus Lupin is running an experiment.

That is the word he’s settled on, because this thing, this thing he’s doing has changed shape a few times now. But it’s gone on long enough, and he finds himself desperate for an explanation.

It had started like this:

Remus had moved into Sirius’ flat straight after Hogwarts. It had not taken as much cajoling as one might expect. He agreed with Sirius that it was practical, and, beyond that, he relished the idea of always being near his best friend. Not that he would ever admit that. Not very manly.

Constantly being in each other’s company was fine. Actually, no, it was not fine, it was lovely. They tried wines together (James made fun of them endlessly for it). They told each other scary stories after dark (Remus’ were terrifying, Sirius’ were goofy). Sirius would come home from work exhausted and ranting, and Remus would commiserate with him over whatever new and awful thing That Bitch Geraldine had done. Remus would study old Arithmancy tomes late into the night for his fellowship, and Sirius would keep him quiet company until he inevitably fell asleep slumped over Remus’ desk and Remus would tentatively stroke his hair.

They made each other tea and coffee in the morning, and Remus would sit on one end of the sofa with a novel, and Sirius would sprawl out on the other end, holding a crossword, and sometimes the very tip of Sirius’ socked foot would be touching Remus’ thigh, and that would make Remus’ heart start to beat like a hummingbird’s wings and cause him all manner of confusion, but that, too, was lovely.

That was not the issue. The issue was that they didn’t know how to cook. 

Cleaning was fine, after a rocky start. Mrs. Potter gave them a battered copy of Basic Household Spells and thereafter they lived in a state of comfortably cluttered cleanliness. 

Cooking, however, was far more advanced, and in many ways, magical cooking was trickier and more dangerous than the Muggle way. Sirius, being a lazy aristocrat, gave it up as a bad job. Remus gave a few halfhearted attempts, but found that his lack of aptitude for potions was well-translated to cooking, much to his (and his stomach’s) misfortune. They survived largely on takeout until Remus put his foot down.

I can learn how to cook, he thought to himself, It’s unbecoming for a man to be so helpless.

So he made an omelet. A horrible, horrible omelet. It was clear upon first bite that the flavor was completely wrong, parts of the egg were runny and parts of it were somehow burnt, and there was more than a little shell crunching between his teeth. It was the worst omelet anyone had ever eaten in history.

“Wow, delicious, Moons!”

Remus turned to glare at him, assuming Sirius was taking the piss. But no, Sirius was wolfing the omelet down, eggshell and all, and giving him a heartbreaking smile.

What the fuck? Maybe because he’s a dog, he likes eggshells, he had thought wonderingly.

Thus began the experimentation.

 Formulation of Research Question

Remus starts cooking with regularity, each time deeply curious about Sirius’ reaction. He tries his hand at simple pastas, curries, stir fries, and more. He fails spectacularly in new and creative ways each time. One time, he causes a small fire. 

No one could possibly enjoy this, he thinks resolutely, making great effort to continue chewing his rubbery half-burnt roast chicken. 

And yet, Sirius does. Or pretends to, if his pained smile is anything to go by. The mystery turns Remus to frustrated musings.

Why is he pretending?

 Characterizing the Phenomenon

He decides to see how far he can take this.

The scholar in him claims that he’s simply trying to gather as much evidence as possible. But, honestly, he’s just pranking Sirius. It’s fun.

Every day, despite having limited free time, he spends an hour or more making increasingly dubious and varied entrees. He makes a Shepherd’s Pie and purposely forgets the gravy and cheese. He dumps half of shaker of salt into a dehydrated mushroom risotto. He grills steaks that achieve accolades far beyond the pale of a mere “well done”. 

Possibly the biggest insult occurs the day he prepares a beautiful-looking coq au vin, a classic French dish for his classic French friend who was bred with classic French cooking, with Moscato instead of a dry red wine. 

“Oh, Moony, now this looks incredible!” Sirius crows with real enthusiasm. Remus leers at him as he takes a bite. And waits.

“Just as I thought,” says Sirius, a little weakly. He would have sounded normal to anyone else, but Remus knows him far better. The next part he says much more warmly, earnestly: “I hope you never stop cooking for me.”

 Controlled Trials

Remus has a theory. He has a theory, and it’s one that makes his stomach flip inside-out (no, no, in a way that is completely unrelated to his godawful cooking), makes his heart pound, and deliciously terrifies him. A theory supported by the way Sirius has become his favorite food critic, but also in other ways.

It’s the way Sirius looks at him after full moons, like he’s hurting just as badly. It’s the way Sirius surprises him with his favorite chocolates (the ones with the surprise salted-caramel center). It’s the way Sirius helps Remus up the stairs with an arm tenderly around his waist when he’s had too much wine, and, after Remus is under the covers of his bed, the way Sirius’ hands rest on his forearms for a few moments too long, like he doesn’t want to leave.

He has this theory that’s driving him insane with sleepless nights. He doesn’t know what he’ll do if it’s correct.

But first, he needs more evidence. 

Trial #1:

They are having friends over for dinner, as adults, or those pretending, are wont to do.

Remus is cooking. 

He is making a classic Indian dish: masala dosa. He does not ferment the batter—he considers that to be a friendly suggestion by the recipe. He does not touch a single bottle of spice. He considers those friendly suggestions too. It is the worst dish he’s ever made. 

As they dine, Lily attempts to be discreet about her gagging. It is not discreet. Peter frowns outright and slowly pushes away his plate. And James....well James is tearing into him.

“How dare you!” James spits with a vitriol that’s never before been directed been directed at Remus. “Moony, you weirdly insisted on cooking for all of us, and it’s like you tried to make it awful and disrespect my ancestors. My mum used to make masala dosa for Sirius and I whenever we were off term as a special treat, did you know that? It’s our favorite food and you fucking butchered it.”

Remus feels a bit bad, but not very. Effie Potter is alive and well, and soon enough, will surely make her darling little princelings food so delicious, it will wipe away any memory of Remus’ nightmare dinner party. Instead he looks at Sirius across the table, who has been staring at him this whole time.

“Padfoot? What did you think?”

“Well...Jamie, I get why it’s not your cup of tea,” Sirius starts haltingly, “it’s very different from Effie’s recipe...but also very unique. I loved it.”

Everyone stares at Sirius, who, by all means, looks guileless.

Later, no one can figure out why, after being told in no uncertain terms by three of his closest friends that his dish unequivocally sucked, Remus is grinning so broadly.

Trial #2:

“Lily, please.”

“No. Why would anyone want this?”

“Lily,” Remus pleads, “You’re my best friend.”

She raises a red brow at him.

“Best girl friend,” he amends. 

She sighs. “Just tell me why you would possibly want this. I’ll be so embarrassed if I do this.”

Remus bites his lip. “I can’t tell you. But I really need this. There’s a good reason for it and I promise it’s not a prank.”

“Certainly not. Pranks have a punchline.”

“Please? I never ask you for anything.”

“Remus, that is not even remotely true.���

Sensing he is losing, he attempts to recreate Padfoot’s signature puppy eyes.

“Urghh! Alright, I’ll do it if you stop doing whatever it is you’re doing; it looks like it hurts.”

She invites everyone over for dinner, as adults, such as Lily, who was born with an adult-brain, are wont to do. 

She follows a steak and kidney pie recipe that Remus had insisted on her using. Only, instead of using kidney, she uses nearly raw whale liver. The liver is swimming in a revolting pool of its own juices. When interrogated about this later, she blinks innocently, saying, “I thought the organs were interchangeable?”

Remus is too tense to eat as he listens to the plates being set down. Barely a moment passes before Sirius’ voice is booming: “EVANS! What the fuck is this!? It tastes like dogshit! I would know!”

Remus’ heart explodes with joy. 

Trial #3:

The definition of insanity, some have said, is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Remus wonders if there’s any folksy wisdom about doing something differently every single time and always achieving the same result.

A month after the Liver-Pool fiasco, Sirius sits across from Remus at their little dining room table, his face lit up by dancing candlelight—candles lit by Remus—a small smile playing about his mouth as he eats dinner, dinner that Remus has cooked. 

“It’s delicious, Moony. As usual. I’ve missed these dinners with you.” Sirius’ mouth twists sadly as if recalling the past month of Remus’ unusual absences and nausea-free meals. 

“Padfoot...I made paella with popcorn shrimp, anchovies, and basil...and you think it’s delicious?”

Sirius gapes for a moment but recovers: “I do! I think it’s unusual but wonderful...I like…things like that.”

Sirius takes a seemingly nervous gulp of his red wine (purposely paired incorrectly).

“Sirius,” Remus says softly, “Are you in love with me?” 

Sirius chokes on his wine and it spills all over his trousers. Alarmed, Remus runs over, slapping Sirius’ back as he coughs violently. Only, in the process, he upsets more of the wine in Sirius’ hand, causing Remus to leap, grab a kitchen towel, and rub it roughly all over Sirius’ stained thighs. He jolts the moment he realizes exactly what he’s doing. Sirius is staring down at his kneeling form with wide eyes. Both of their cheeks are flushed a lovely port color. 

Catching his breath after his coughing fit, Sirius whispers, “Why would you ask me such a thing?”

“Because,” he whispers as well, even though his throat should be in perfect condition, “you keep pretending to like my awful food.”

Sirius sputters. “You’re a great cook! I like your food!”

“Pads, absolutely no one likes my food,” Remus murmurs gently but firmly. “No one.”

Sirius’ eyes suddenly become over-bright. He says nothing.

“Listen...if you did...love me,” Remus says slowly, trying to deliberate his words, “Honestly, that would be...fine. That would be fine.”

“’Fine’?” Sirius mutters bitterly. Now his tears really do spill over. Remus catches them with his thumbs on instinct...and leaves his palms on either side of Sirius’ face.

“No,” he swallows decisively. “Not fine. That would be lovely. That would be the most lovely, wonderous thing that has ever happened or will ever happen to me, and I’d be—just—Sirius, I’d be so happy.” 

Hope and disbelief war on Sirius’ face.

“I’m serious,” Remus insists, uncurling out of his kneeling position to stand over him.

“No, you’re Remus, I’m--”

He stamps his lovely wine-stained mouth with a hard kiss, both hands desperately clutching Sirius’ face. Sirius immediately curls his fingers into Remus’ hair and pulls him in closer by his shirtfront. His mouth opens, and Remus thinks deliriously, Oh God. God, that’s his tongue and he tastes like basil and red wine and magic.

One of his hands trails down to clutch at the very top of Sirius’ thigh and Sirius lets out a funny, tiny, little sound, and it makes Remus smile against his mouth. They’re panting when they finally break apart.

“I have something to confess,” Remus begins breathlessly. “I’ve learned to cook, at least a few things, that are really good now. That’s where I’ve been all month, at the Potter’s, trying to learn some of the dishes you grew up with. I’ve got masala dosa keeping warm in the oven, and it’s actually good this time, I promise. Effie showed me how.”

Sirius stares at him. “That’s a good thing, Moony, because your cooking was truly atrocious.”

“I know.”

“I mean it, utter dogshit.”

“I know.”

“Paella without any saffron? Who does that?”

“I know.”

Sirius hesitates. “I still love you madly though.”

Remus smiles shyly. “I know. I love you madly, too.”

Dubious Duties - Chapter 4 of Bad Professor

Regulus felt conflicted. Damn that stupid wolf for getting in his head. They were nothing. He meant nothing to Regulus but the look of hurt on his face, when he found Lily cradled in Regulus’ arms, refused to leave his head. In desperation, when he got to dinner that night he sat at the far end of the table so that he didn’t have to look at him. Of course, this meant that he had ended up next to Hagrid, who was apparently also trying to hide from Dumbledore.

“I warned em’,” Hagrid muttered despondently into his tankard of ale, “I said not t’ insult em’ I said it’d be tha’ las’ thing ye ever do. I shoulda’ known he wouldn’t listen.”

Regulus turned to the morose giant and tried to figure out what the hell he was talking about.

“Who didn’t listen?”

“Tha’ Malfoy boy. I told him. I said don’t insult the Hippogriffs.” He gestured emphatically with his tankard, sending foam slopping over the edges. “Well, he ignored me, didn’ he? Called ole Bucky a great ugly brute. He didn’ like that.”

Regulus looked over at the Slytherin table. The spot where the blond boy was usually holding court was decidedly empty and the rest of his cohorts looked very dour indeed. In contrast, the kids at the Griffindor table seemed to be in absurdly high spirits.

“What happened to him?”

“Well, Bucky cut up his arm. Hippogriff talons are very sharp. I had to cancel my class! T’was their firs’ day too. Dumbledore mus’ be so disappointed.”

Hagrid slammed his tankard back onto the table and looked into it as though it held all the meaning in the world. Regulus sighed.

“You let a group of thirteen years olds, the most difficult and disrespectful age group of teenagers, near a creature that will attack if you offend it?”

Hagrid made a sad sort of noise. “I thought they’d think Hippogryphs were cool.”

“I can’t imagine Lucius took that very well.”

Hagrid’s thick lips drew into a hard line.

“No, he did not. I had to formally apologise. I wouldn’ mind so much if he wasn’ such a massive git.”

Regulus spat out his wine as he laughed out loud. “Did you just call Lucius Malfoy a massive git?”

“I did,” Hagrid nodded with a furtive glance around to see if anyone was listening. “An’ I’d do it again. He’s a right twat, that one.”

Regulus giggled delightedly at that. He had only been at Hogwarts at the same time as Lucius for one year. A year of utter turmoil as he had to navigate Sirius’ disappointment that he wasn’t a Gryffindor, as well as the attention of his insane cousins. It wouldn’t have been so bad if Andromeda had still been around, but Bellatrix was so pleased to have her little cousin Reggie with her that she wouldn’t leave him alone. Unfortunately, it meant that he had been pulled into Lucius Malfoy's orbit on more than one occasion. Lucius was a decidedly pretentious individual, and he did not get better after he was under the thumb of a maniacal megalomaniac.

“I suppose that means my cousin is also in the building.” Regulus mused.

Hagrid looked up blearily. “You mean Mrs Malfoy. She’s right terrifying tha’ one.”

Regulus sighed. “They all are.”

Hagrid’s eyes narrowed in on Regulus as though seeing him for the very first time.

“You’re not bad, Black. Not like tha’ rest of em are ya? Tell ya what, I have a bottle of firewhisky that I was going to use to drown my sorrows in for the rest of the night. What say you join me?”

Regulus risked a glance up the table to find the amber eyes of Remus Lupin looking straight at him.

“That sounds great!” Regulus hurriedly agreed. “How about I drop into the medical wing and check up on the Malfoy boy? Give you a bit of an update?”

“Thas’ awful kind of ya.” Hagrid replied giving Regulus a huge slap on the back that nearly knocked him smack-bang into the table.

He laughed gingerly and got up from the table, exiting the hall before the wolf could follow. He made his way over to the medical wing, furtively looking behind him for any sign of a tail. He had been able to hear Lucius’ voice the entire way down the hall, but it was only as he was about to step inside that he heard Albus.

“He needs to be fired, Dumbledore!”

“Now Lucius. Whilst it is awful that this happened, we are dealing with magical creatures here. Surely you understand the risks involved with this course of study. Hippogriffs are only rated XXX’s.”

“And out of all the possible XXX creatures to study that one was chosen for a group of thirteen-year-olds?”

“This is the first year that Hagrid is running this program and there are bound to be teething issues. Be assured that we will be reviewing the data from this incident and will make necessary changes. I hope the young Mr Malfoy makes a full recovery.”

Regulus almost ran into Albus as he exited the room.

“Professor Black,” he greeted as he stepped beside him. “You must be here to check in on your family. I will assure you that young Mr Malfoy is in good hands.”

He dodged round Regulus and went to leave.

“Wait! Albus!” Regulus exclaimed as he jogged over. “I was wondering if you’re free to have a meeting with me tomorrow if possible.”

Albus raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Of course, Regulus, I’ve been meaning to meet with all my new teachers to see how they’re going with their lesson planning and course instruction. You have a free period just before lunch tomorrow, don’t you? Come see me in my office and we can talk.”

Regulus nodded and gave him a brilliant smile.

“Excellent. I look forward to it.”

Regulus was conscious of the fact that you should always keep an employer onside, even if you did have severe doubts about their sanity. Albus had been an enigma, from the first moment he had owled Regulus at Grimmauld Place, and every instance after. Whenever they spoke, Regulus had got the distinct impression, that Albus was almost always talking about something entirely different to what Regulus thought they were talking about. It made every conversation very disconcerting.

As Albus disappeared down the corridor Regulus turned back to the medical wing. He sighed. He could still hear Lucius loudly complaining about the situation from the other side of the door. This was possibly a very stupid idea. He hadn’t exactly made an effort to reconnect with his family after Voldemort's death. He had been busy trying to exonerate Sirius and that had required that he associate with a lot of people that his family would not necessarily agree with. Of course, after that colossal failure, he ran away to the continent again.

The image of Sirius stumbling about in the rain, his eyes unfocused, wild insane laughter spilling from his lips, flashed across his mind. He shook his head, willing the image to fuck off. He refused to let it rule his life. He refused to run this time. Sirius had to live with his fucked-up choices.

He pushed open the door and the two people standing on either side of the bed froze.

“Regulus?”

It was Narcissa who spoke first. A tiny sound, as though she had not meant for it to leave her lips. She was still stunning after all these years; Blacks always were after all. She had changed her hair colour. The straight dark brown locks that she had in her youth were now a pale blond. Her eyes of course were still the same silver. Though they held none of the hatred he had expected, a begrudging sort of respect shone out instead.

“Narcissa.”

The word was a warning. Regulus braced for what he would find, when he faced Lucius Malfoy for the first time in fourteen years. Lucius stood tall and straight, his face like marble, as though it were chiselled out of stone. Whilst his expression was severe, he was a handsome man and when he was younger, Regulus had envied Narcissa. Lucius had wooed her with charm and passion and Regulus had wished for something similar. A love so easily found that fit within the constraints that they were allowed.

Instead, he was sold to a madman. Easy fodder to be dashed upon the foundation blocks of their new world order. The inevitable fate of a second son. In a way, it was the only sure sign that his parents had never given up on Sirius, that it had always only been Sirius. It had never mattered what Regulus did. He would always only be the spare.

“Lucius,” Regulus greeted formally, “I came to check up on my student. I apologise if I am intruding.”

“Your student?” Lucius sneered, “Oh, how low you have fallen, Regulus. Teaching?”

Regulus tilted his head and stuck his tongue into the side of his cheek. Right, so this was how he was going to play it.

“Yes. I’ve been following in the footsteps of Altair Black the second. Truly a remarkable member of my family. I believe he married Francesca Malfoy back at the turn of the century. Don’t you agree that moulding the minds of the younger generation is truly a worthy pursuit?”

Lucius scowled, “So you’ve gotten bored with whoring yourself out to every Tom, Diane and or Harriet who will pay your way?”

Regulus shrugged and then lowered his eyes so that he peered through his lashes at the much taller man.

“For now. Why? Are you interested?”

Jay's Wolfstar (Sirius/Remus) Rec List

Someone asked for a wolfstar rec list. It took me a bit to weed out some of the ones that have it as a side pairing, but here it is for anyone that is interested! I did end up cutting a ton of them out because I think it makes more sense to just rec the writer themselves-I had A LOT of them saved from one person. Some of these are also entire series, not just one fic. The full list is under the read more! Sorry in advance for not having any descriptions (they got deleted by tumblr) but if anyone wants my take on any of them, just ask! MIND THE TAGS AND WARNINGS!!!

Day 27: Payment

Severus makes Lupin take it all.

@kinktober2023 day 27: Emeto

Remus/Severus, E, 500 words

Deepthroating, Vomit, Dom/Sub Elements

—

The streets of Cokeworth were derelict at the best of times. Severus nearly tripped over the man in his haste. It was only a low groan that alerted him to the large dark mass quivering in the alleyway.

“Lupin?”

His old classmate was in an abysmal state, grime-covered and hair-matted. There was hardly a clean patch on him.

“Severus,” Lupin rasped, softly like a lover’s plea.

It was none of his business. And yet, just like in the Shrieking Shack, like in the tunnel, he found he could not turn away.

-♦️-

Lupin was an amiable houseguest, always polite, always quiet.

Severus mostly ignored him. Once the stench was gone and his hair was combed, he was — dare he say — handsome even. Handsome in the lost and anguished sort of way.

Lupin tried to pay him for his troubles, but Severus refused. He didn’t need money, not from someone like Lupin.

“What can I do then?”

“Find something else to make yourself useful.”

Lupin sunk to his knees, and Severus’s cock twitched beneath his robes.

“Something like this, you mean?”

Severus’s jaw clenched. “That is not what I mean.”

“But it’s what you want.”

Lupin closed a long finger around Severus’s robes, drawing him closer.

“I won’t be gentle,” Severus said, sucking in a breath.

“I don’t want you to be.”

And Lupin took Severus’s cock into his mouth, his thin lips closing around the crown. Severus wove his fingers through Lupin’s tawny hair. The strands were soft and thin.

Without warning, he pushed Lupin all the way down. Lupin gurgled as Severus’s cock hit the back of his throat. He struggled, hands clawing at Severus’s thigh.

“No,” Severus hissed. “You will take it all.”

He yanked Lupin off by the hair, then thrust in again.

“I wonder,” Severus mused between thrusts, “what your old friends would think of you now.”

Lupin’s gaze flashed up, narrowed with anger, but Severus ignored him.

“What would Potter think?” He gave a powerful thrust and held Lupin there, nose buried deep in the curls of his pubic hair. “Or your old pal, Black? You always were obsessed with him, following him around like a lost puppy. It’s too bad he never noticed.”

Lupin’s eyes flashed gold. His nails digging into Severus’s thigh felt like claws.

“Down, wolf,” he ordered. He grabbed Lupin by the throat and felt the bulge of his cock there.

He continued to thrust, forcing Lupin to take it, take it deep, each thrust harder than the last. Lupin’s throat convulsed around him. He started making the most unpleasant retching sounds. 

And still, Severus didn’t stop.

Nearing the brink, Lupin’s entire body convulsed. Severus pulled out, and Lupin collapsed, vomiting all over the floor. Severus was already so close. There was no stopping now.

He came, spurting long ropes of cum all over Lupin and his tawny hair, mixing with the wretched-smelling vomit on the ground.

“Clean yourself up.” He stepped back, rebuttoning his pristine robes. “We’ll try again tomorrow.”

CLOSED STARTER for @berylcluster feat. remus & sirius

remus slinked into the gryffindor common room, the sun was barely up, and james alarm for practice still had a good forty five minutes before it would be waking the rest of his dorm room, he yawned, eyes still sleep hazed as he plopped down on one of the worn in couches, book bag hitting the ground with dense thud, reaching down to pull out a book, humaniod creatures and shapeshifters the title read, opening up to a page titled Shelliferous Drogodflikerous, hideous he thought, as he began reading. remus always struggled with sleep on the approach of the full moon, his bones ached as if remembering what was about to occur, his nerve endings fried and on edge at this stage of the lunar cycle, which often resulted in early mornings hauled up the common room or library while most of the rest of the castle slept.

he was so engrossed in the chapter he barely looked up when he heard the door of the common room open, eyes bright when they met with sirius who was the last person he expected to be up at this time of the morning - if you could even call it morning, "you're up early, pads. you feelin' okay?" he teases playful, tongue poking out between teeth. carefully placing his book mark in to hold his page as he set down his book in his lap, another yawn escaping his mouth. " couldn't sleep, hips achin' and my bloody shoulder, feel like an old woman -" he sighs, as he begins to explain, before sirius even asks, although it was common knownledge to the marauders that remus was a bit of an early bird. his eyes rolling as he reaches in his pocket to pull out a pack of marlborough reds, placing one between his lips before offering the pack out to sirius, lighting his own with his wand like professor Ferox has showed him how to do in third year -- not very professory of him right enough, but that was what made him remus' favourite teacher.

VERSE NOTES ➝ Sherlock

Just more verse notes as I've been rewatching the show and I might be a tad obsessed ♡

These notes are 100% up for change, especially if people feel like including their muses!! This is just how I see things going or could go if HP muses were to be involved in some way, shape or form ♡

This verse, even though it's clearly a crossover, can also be taken as a Muggle AU! Basically the world where magic doesn't / never existed.

And a little reminder that Hermione, in this verse, is not a Granger. She's a Holmes.

• The Malfoys, primarily Lucius Malfoy, are members of the Government.

•  Like Mycroft, Lucius Malfoy is a Government Official. He sits on the seats as most of the important Government members do, such as Mycroft Holmes. •  Lucius is one of the more snobby and shady members of the Government, who has strong distaste for the Holmes'—specifically Sherlock Holmes and especially Mycroft Holmes, and by extension, Sherlock's only child & daughter, Hermione. • Lucius has a strong dislike for Hermione due to her besting his son, Draco, in most ( if not every ) lesson they have together, always walking out of exams with perfect marks. He goes home and does nothing but complain about her.   ⤷ Molly tells Hermione it's just a school boy with a crush on her, which    at a young age, makes the little Holmes cringe and gag. •  Narcissa is the high class ❛do things behind the scenes❜ wife and mother. She goes out for tea and events with women of similar standing, making sure her son is well taught, tailored, prim and proper, whilst trying to keep her husband in line.

• The Weasleys

•  So similarly to how it would be at Hogwarts, all the Weasleys, ( Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Bill & Charlie ) all attend the same school that Hermione attends. A mix class school, all the children in different year groups, but basically exactly as it was at Hogwarts. How Molly Weasley manages, we'll never know. •  Arthur Weasley is also a Government official, sat on the same row of tables as Lucius Malfoy and Mycroft Holmes, but digs more into the things that people of the Government deem as "little" / unimportant.

• The Potters are NOT infamous.

•  Harry is still born to James Potter and Lily Potter ( neé Evans ), but unlike the movies and books, James and Lily are still alive and thriving, raising their son Harry without a worry of murder in the world, just a normal family, really. •  That being said, Harry still grows up with the same, kind attitude as he usually does, but having a lot less trauma following behind him, still becoming best friends with Ronald Weasley and Hermione Holmes. •  James Potter is a member of the Government, but on a lower tier compared to Mycroft, Lucius and Arthur. He also coaches the "Gryffindor" football team on the afternoons when he isn't working, teaching Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George and other kids / teens how to play.   ⤷ Football is where Harry & Draco kick off their rivalry, and where    Hermione goes to stick up for her friends, calling Draco a "spoilt little    brat" for his father buying his position and her a "filthy little trollop". •  Harry's got two non-blood related uncles, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and a God-son, Teddy Lupin, who are all alive and well. Sirius has still been to jail for being framed for some sort of murder, and Remus has scars from a dog ( or wolf ) attack.

• The Teachers at school are the exactly same, just less magical

•  I don't think I need to make note, but I will. Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, and lots of other professors are now just plain teachers. Albus Dumbledore is still the headmaster, but dies in their sixth year of old age, having Minerva McGonagall take over as Headmistress.   ⤷ The subjects that they will teach is totally open for people's muses of    them to interpret! •  This also means that if people make their muses teachers, like Hermione for example, they'd just be plain teachers, following on from their old mentors above them.

A Quickening Hope, A Freshening Glee by @maesterchill

Harry/Draco, Sirius/Remus (2022, Teen, 4k)

Joy comes to Harry and Draco alongside a quickening of heart, and of body, and of breath. Or: The one where Draco and Harry find out from Remus Lupin in a Ministry lift that they're going to have a baby. And Sirius flips out.

“We are a power couple…” Draco mused. “Of course it only makes sense that we would be power parents also.” Harry snorted at that.

Can you believe how many amazing people are having bdays back to back in June? Love to see it but the Tumblr logistics are stressing me out ngl 😂 happy happy birthday, darling Maester and Commander (stealing Tacky’s tag because it’s perfect)! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy this little gift rec. I love sharing this fandom with you and getting to enjoy your delightful fics AND exquisite art, both for Drarry and rare pairs (which I can’t wait to see more!!). It took me forever to decide how to celebrate your day. You have just gifted me one of the most incredible Sirry fics I’ve ever read, and I still can’t think about it without choking up and feeling my heart burst with tenderness for their dynamics and wall sex. I’ve reread that beauty more times than I care to admit but it would be lazy work to rec it again since my unhinged reblog already took care of it 😂 if anyone’s looking for superb sexy & tender age gap smut, it doesn’t get any better than this!!

I decided to go with your wonderful, feel-good recent Mpreg fic which explores the trope in such a lovely and comforting way it made my heart ache. I know many people are picky about this trope (myself included) and because of that some works don’t get a lot of exposure until they get recced so here I am to give it a special shout-out as one of my favorite reads of 2022 so far! Pretty much like Em, I have the biggest soft spot for tender established relationship and this Everybody Lives AU with Wolfstar + Drarry has perfect joyful, found family vibes, it put a big smile on my face from beginning to end!

Remus and Sirius are both charming and bigger than life - I love their energy, how they balance each other, and it’s quite emotional to see how their fatherly dynamics with Harry and Draco could look like. The idea that Remus’ super wolf hearing makes him the bearer of good news is so clever and sweet! In fact I adore many things this fic comes up with: Drarry’s mental bond, pregnant & horny Draco (also: “kissed him, a proprietary hand still on Draco's stomach” is now my new favourite line, jfc 🔥), and Sirius’ workshop!!! What a brilliant idea to have him partner up with Arthur to tinker around, I can’t believe I’ve never seen this take before. Em has a fabulous grasp of Sirius’ young spirit and child-like enthusiasm without making him inadequate, it’s so fun to read and I love the affectionate nicknames he has for everyone!

This fic is nice and heartwarming just the way we need it on bad days, with zero drama, just soft, happy ending vibes and I love that for us. Get ready to laugh and swoon over these soon-to-be-parents boys and have fun with their slightly chaotic dynamics as the family grows. Don’t forget to leave kudos and comments, and while you’re at it, why not check the rest of Em’s A+ catalogue? Here’s a fabulous reclist by our @sweet-s0rr0w and more gorgeous art recs by @shealwaysreads to get you started 🙌
