Hello, I've lived reading your Teddy/Victoire fics and since you said on your profile that you're happy to take request I'd like to ask for one, perhaps a sad breakup one of them? That more heartbreaking and gut wrenching the better lol
Christmas
-
âOh!â Victoire whispered. âYouâre down here.â
Teddy jumped, looking away from the fireplace to where Victoire stood at the bottom of the stairs. She was in her pyjamas, with thick, fuzzy socks knitted by Grandma Molly pooling around her ankles, but Teddy, she noticed, was still in the clothes heâd arrived in that evening. The Christmas tree stood in the corner, topped with a golden gnome and twinkling with candlelight.Â
âWhat is it?â Teddy said, sounding more tired than Victoire had ever heard before.Â
âI just wanted to talk to you.â Victoire sat beside him on the couch, her leg pressed against his. Teddy nodded, his eyes moving back to the flickering fireplace. His hair was dull, she noticed, like the colour had been washed out.
He seemed upset that evening - he hadnât talked to anyone much, except when he and Harry had gone for a long walk after dinner. So long, in fact, that almost everyone had gone to bed before theyâd returned. Victoire had waited up for him the entire time, eager to get him alone. It was the first time sheâd seen him since last summer, and she was desperate to spend any time with him she could while on break.Â
âIâm just going to say it.â Victoire took a deep breath. âI think Iâm in love with you. I havenât stopped thinking about you, being at school without you is awful, I feel like Iâve lost something all the time. I know you think Iâm too young, but Iâll be seventeen in May, itâs not that far, really, and I just- I had to tell you.â
Teddy didnât say anything. He closed his eyes, his jaw clenched, and he moved his leg away so it wasnât pressing against hers anymore. Victoire felt sick suddenly, sheâd been so sure he felt the same way, with how he was the year before - heâd looked after her, helped her study, walked her to class. Even the few letters they had exchanged since heâd finished school seemed different, flirty maybe, like there was something more there.
Sheâd sat for hours upstairs that evening, whispering to Dominique if she should really come down and say something, if she should go find him in the house and confess her feelings - ones sheâd had for years.
âTeddy?â She said quietly, touching his shoulder. He shrugged her off and rubbed his eyes aggressively.
âVic-â Teddy said, and Victoire flinched. He sounded frustrated, like he did when James took his wand. Heâd never talked to her like that before. âWhy have you said that?â
âBecause I have feelings for you-â
âThis just complicates things, donât you see?â He said, standing. Victoire stared up at him, her eyes wide. Her hands shook as she played with the hem of her pyjama top.
âBut-â
âIt doesnât matter if you think you have some schoolgirl crush on me. I could lose everything, all of this.â Teddy said, gesturing around him. Victoireâs cheeks started to burn, she felt like she was being scolded for something she didnât know was wrong.
âWhat would you lose?â She whispered as her chest clenched painfully.
âYou have a family!â Teddy hissed as he tried to keep his voice down. âYou have a family here who loves you, who takes care of you. I donât have that. My parents are dead, Victoire. I havenât got anyone.âÂ
Victoire felt sick, her stomach turned as he spoke. She blinked back tears and wiped at her eyes, trying desperately not to look like he hadnât just crushed her, that she hadnât ruined everything. Teddy paced back and forth in front of her, tugging at his hair.
âTeddy, you have me!â Victoire felt a tear roll down her cheek, feeling so, so childish all of a sudden. âWe are your family.â
âThey donât have to do this, you know? No one said they had to look after me. Theyâre not under an unbreakable vow,â Teddy took a deep breath. âIf I took advantage of that, of you-â
âItâs not taking advantage, canât you see? I love you.â Victoire pleaded.Â
Teddy shook his head, his hair was streaked with grey. âIf I ever did anything to hurt you you donât think theyâd look at me differently? Your dad? Your uncles?â
âYou wouldnât!â Vic cried.
Teddy laughed coldly. âDonât be stupid. Iâm hurting you right now.â
Victoire let out a choked sob. âBut itâs Christmas-â
âYeah, itâs bloody Christmas. And tomorrow morning youâll wake up to your siblings and mum and dad and have breakfast, and open presents and my parents will still be dead.â Teddy said, and walked away, slamming the front door to the Burrow as he did.

Ahaha thank you for the nice comments in tags <3 i love Remus but he seems bit like a spineless people pleaser and after dating somebody who would rather lie about their feelings than have people be mildly upset with them..... I chose violence đĄ
no but ur so right because!!! iâve been sleeping on this for a while but letâs talk about remusâ personality traits and how they have the potential to make him a bad/absent partner, at best, and an abusive one, at worst. everyone wants to turn him into this image of perfection just bc heâs such an âuwu victimâ figure in fanon but thatâs SO far from the truth omg
(i amâŚjust gonna put this remus character analysis under a cut bc it got unnecessarily long and i wouldnât want u to read it if u didnât want to lol)
so, for one, heâs manipulative. he has no combinations in twisting the truth or dodging it entirely for his own benefit. like, the man could stand in front of his dead best friendâs orphaned son & not even allude to the fact that he knew his dad. he had no problem bringing james & lily up in the most twisted ways possible to guilt/emotionally influence harry. so remus in a relationship would have the capacity to either knowingly or unknowingly manipulate his partner. the definition of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss except more sinister.
next, his spinelessness. either as a defensive measure to deal w anti-werewolf hostility or as an innate personality trait, remus has the habit of justânot standing up for things. he looks away when his friends act like assholes, even when heâs in a position of authority (which yes, u can argue that heâs afraid of losing them but atp theyâve literally risked life & magic & azkaban for him so either way, he comes off badlyâeither he doesnât mind himself, or he doesnât fully trust their friendship, or itâs just easier to look away). in a relationship, this can manifest as bottling everything inside u until it makes u bitter or u violently unload on the other person in an entirely disproportionate manner. the dynamic would also be a bit skewed. the people pleasing u mentioned is also such a big thing that people usually overlook. when ur constantly trying to make the other person happy and donât want to rock the boat, that is a cocktail for miscommunication and breakdown of relationships. ur also constantly putting the emotional burden of constructively dealing w issues on ur partner instead of doing it urself.
connected to his cowardice is his habit of running away when things get tough. remus is conflict avoidant; he does not like to put himself in a position where he has to take a decisive stance, especially if itâs against what others around him believe in. he runs away when things get tough, and tbh, for me, this comes from a constant spiral of self hatred & self victimisation, both of which stem from his experience as a werewolf. in every difficult situation, he centres himself & his discomfort and instead of dealing with it and moving forward for a constructive solution, he decides that stepping back from it altogether is better. which, yeah, works well for him bc he can temporarily put a pin in it but itâs kinda terrible for everyoneâs whoâs left behind. so i also think that remus is a profoundly selfish character who doesnât look beyond the end of his own nose. u can imagine how those traits might manifest themselves in a relationship.
and his people pleasing!! so this might be verging on fanon but his gratitude and/or devotion to dumbledore sets anâŚinteresting tone. itâs also another example of how he cannot conceive himself in any other term except as a victimised werewolf. the marauders did a lot for him, arguably even more than dumbledoreâs token representation formula, but he never felt indebted to them the way he did for D. dumbledore also kind of makes him feel needed? validates his feelings? and that just speaks to a very twisted sense of self for me. which, again, wonât bode well for his other interpersonal relations.
also, on a very hc note, i also feel like remus justâŚdoes not have any significant capacity to love. he takes and takes and takes but doesnât give much in return. this doesnât even have to be an actively malicious decision, tbh, just a very self-centred one. he doesnât realise how much heâs taking bc heâs only thinking about his own circumstances.
all of these are also just why i canât see r/s working out in any healthy manner. remus is exactly antithetical to everything sirius is/believes in, and not even in the fun âopposites attractâ way. but thatâs another rant no one asked for lmao
#anti remus lupin#just to be safe lol#(i would not want to read sumn like this for j or s)#i read this harry/tonks postwar fic once#that had part r/s allusions#and it was basically about how terrible remus was as a dad & husband bc he kept running out to deal w his demons#not realising or caring ab who heâs leaving behind#and constantly kept making false promises and centering only his own grief#and harry steps up to take care of teddy and tonks#the romance is cool and all but itâs the characterisation of remus that really struck me. bc it was so new. even tho itâs basically#an extension of canon ykwim?#and i think we should talk about that more instead of turning him into a paragon of virtue and morality and parenthood#dude tumblr just ate my ENTIRE answer for a who monite and i was so ??? fully ready to give up i s2g lol#i also have so many thoughts of remus victimising himself#and consequently spitting on everything his friends and family did for him#bc those are destructive thinking patterns and no one except the person themself can take the first step#regardless of how much support they get#and remus just. never wanted to get out of it lbr#i am so sorry for this rantâu didnât ask for it but ur fic LIT something in me#and i just. couldnât stop once i started đđ#penâs asks#penâs notes

Am I the only one who sees Matt Hitt as Teddy Lupinđ everyone says heâs a great Remus fancast but he just looks like the perfect mix of Tonks and Remus
#like heâs got Tonks nose and Remusâ lanky frame#I think I just canât stop thinking of Remus as#Andrew Garfield#Remus lupin#Matt hitt#fancast#the marauders#Teddy lupin#next gen#golden trio#Harry Potter#nymphadora tonks#like to me Remus has bigger features while Tonks has smaller and I think Matt hitt is a perfect mix of that#therefore he is my Teddy fancast#unpopular opinion#which Iâm probably known for doing now#but I donât see Teddy with Blue hair all the time#I feel like he would wear his hair brown the majority of the time#heâd jokingly go ginger around the Weasleys#he for sure has a deep connection with his dad#Harry would make sure of it

Hi Jade! I had an idea for a request! I was thinking about reader with a really low sex drive and maybe one day she starts to get a little worried and insecure about it and one of the boys just reassures her that he doesnât care about it<3 idk if that made sense but write for whatever boy you want to I donât have a preference love you đ
How Remus, James and Sirius would comfort you when you worry your low libido is a problem. fem, 2.2k
⼠RemusÂ
Remus sits with his legs crossed in the corner of the settee, a book open on his thigh, though his attention has been caught and kept by the TV.Â
You think some grovelling may be in order after last night. Quiet, you round the settee and climb onto the seat next to his, body turned away from the TV, arm creeping onto his thigh.Â
âHi,â he says.Â
âHi.âÂ
He encourages you closer, leaning back to give you room to lie on him. His right arm does most of the work to keep you up, sandwiching you to his chest, an almost not quite hug. âWhatâs wrong?â he asks.Â
âHow do you know something is wrong?âÂ
He taps your back with his fingers, looking up at the ceiling with a sarcastic smile. âWhat could it be?âÂ
The hints of green in his irises are more pronounced when heâs sitting in the sun like this, rays cutting in through the window, turning his pale skin slightly tanned and his hair a warmer chestnut colour that curls behind his ears. The scar on his lip relaxes as his joking smile fades to a proper one, a lovey-dovey type that melts you. Itâs nice to be looked at so nicely, like just the sight of you inspires happiness.Â
You shift off of your legs, deciding you might as well lay flat with your head in his lap instead. He lets you sink down. His hand takes up station near your cheek, the back of his curled fingers brushing the skin just shy of your eye.Â
âThis is nice,â he whispers.Â
âI have to say sorry,â you whisper back, drawing shapes into his t-shirt, the soft muscle of his stomach pillowy to poke.Â
Remus nods emphatically. âYes, you didnât come and see me as soon as you woke up. I heard you on your phone in bed. Thatâs not very nice, is it, depriving me of your company?âÂ
You shake your head into his thigh, a slow, guilty movement. âNo, about last night.âÂ
âWhat about last night?âÂ
Last night, Remus had given you a very slow kiss. Heâd been half asleep and youâd been more so, but it was a lovely kiss and his hand had been rubbing sweet half circles into your hip, but it still made you feel awful when he asked if he could touch you and youâd told him you were too tired, even if he didnât mind. Heâd just kissed your cheek and snuggled into you like a life-sized teddy bear. He never takes your rejection as an insult.Â
âYou⌠you wanted to fuck and I didnât, Iâm sorry. I feel like every time you ask lately I say no.âÂ
Remus frowns at you. Deep frown, eyebrows pinching and brown eyes bordering sullen. His fingers uncurl over your cheek and cover your ear as he cups your face. âI donât want you to be sorry. The reason I ask is so you can say no, you can always say no.âÂ
âI kiss you, and I wind you up, and then I canâtââ
âWhich I enjoy. You donât have to worry about that.â He leans down to kiss you but doesnât fully get there, your noses touching, and then heâs leaning away again. âPlease donât say sorry. You know you donât have to do anything you donât want to.âÂ
âI know that. Iâm not trying to make you into the bad guy.âÂ
Remus taps your nose with his and leans in again. âI know youâre not. You arenât one either. Sex is just another fun thing to do, okay? If you donât want to, that shouldnât bother me, and it doesnât. I promise.âÂ
You curl your arms around his neck. He lifts his head, subsequently lifting you as he moves, his arm curling behind your back for a hug.Â
âSometimes I want more of you than you want to give,â he says, âbut itâs just because I love you, not because I need it. Donât be silly, dove. Donât say sorry.âÂ
He presses the heel of his palm to your back and begins the heavy pressure of a back rub. You wonât say sorry if he doesnât want you to. You shouldnât anyways. But heâs your boyfriend and you love him, so his being accepting of it is a relief.Â
Like he can read your mind, he says, âYou never have to say sorry for this.âÂ
âI know.â You lift your chin. âKiss?âÂ
Remus kisses you quickly before tucking you into his neck for a long hug.Â
⼠James
âYouâre beautiful.âÂ
Youâre boiling. James doesnât notice, kissing and kissing and kissing, your neck flushed with his touch and his murmured compliment. âJames.âÂ
He tilts his head, weaving in on the other side of your neck to give it the same loving treatment. âPretty doesnât cover it,â he says in a rush, his teeth scratching dully up to your jaw, his kissing like nips without any pain behind them as he reaches your cheek.Â
You catch his face in your hands and push him away gently. Itâs so hot in here you canât breathe, and youâre not in the mood for any further action. Itâs funny. You adore his kisses and James is undeniably a good fuck, but your libido is low no matter how pretty your boyfriend is, or how pretty he finds you. Youâd always wondered if that meant there was something wrong with you.Â
James doesnât seem to think so.Â
âSorry,â he says, beaming, âthatâs enough, right?âÂ
You feel a weird sharp stab in your chest. âSorry?âÂ
âIâm getting ahead of myself.â James sits up where heâd been lying on top of you, having manoeuvred such a position in the midst of all his warm kisses. He sits back on his calves, kneeling in the space between your legs, a hand falling instead to your knee. âItâs fucking hot in here, isnât it?âÂ
âSorry.âÂ
âDid you make it hot?âÂ
You look at your hand on your chest. Heâs noticed you donât want to take it any further, you hardly ever do. You knew heâd see that eventually. You have the libido of a panda, where James is an athletic young man who loves you.Â
âNo, I mean. Iâm sorry, because I never want to when you want to.âÂ
Your serious tone surprises him. âBaby, what the fuck are you talking about?â he asks. âI am so lost.âÂ
âJustâ Most of the time when you try to sleep with me I turn you down. You know already.âÂ
âBaby, that doesnât matter.â He leans in again, only to hold your wrists, two big hands curled around your arms to stop your fidgeting. Two pet names in quick succession is unlike him, and it relaxes you before heâs begun to explain. âIt doesnât matter at all. Just makes it better when we do manage to want it at the same time.âÂ
You grimace. âAre you sure?âÂ
âYou want me to be honest?âÂ
Youâre not sure. âYeah. Please be honest.âÂ
âSometimes we kiss and you know I want you,â his eyes dart down, prompting a surprised laugh from you, and an easy chuckle from him in return, âand itâs frustrating, but itâs not âcos of you. I can go shower and sort myself out and itâs not the same as being with you, but itâs not your fault. Itâs just a reaction.âÂ
âBut I feel bad for making you deal with it yourself.âÂ
âWhat are you supposed to do? You canât force yourself if youâre not in the mood. Thatâs the last thing I want you to do. Iâd rather have it fall off.âÂ
You laugh again. Jamesâ smile is glowing, and warm as he presses it to your wrist in a chaste kiss. âWe can do other things. If you feel that badly about it, you can give me a scalp massage, please. You shouldnât feel badly about it, but still. If youâre okay with it, Iâd love one.âÂ
He presses his cheek to your chest in want of your hand.Â
You press your fingertips to his hairline and weave your fingers into the roots of his soft hair, shaking them, nails scratching lightly at his scalp like you know he likes. âHowâs that?â you ask.Â
âBetter than sex.â He is unmistakably sincere.Â
⼠SiriusÂ
âDid you lock the door?âÂ
Sirius hums.Â
âClose the kitchen window?âÂ
âI did,â he says, waving your hand gently where heâs holding it between you both. You lay straight in bed with the duvet up to your chests and the TV playing one of his favourite movies.Â
âOkay. Did you take your medication?âÂ
âYeah, sweetheart. Everythingâs done. You can relax.âÂ
You pick your book up and open it to the first page. Youâve been meaning to read this one for a while, youâre happy to get the time, but youâre feeling queasy about something.Â
Sirius is a loud guy. He loves the glitz and glamour of life, he likes to go out, play fast and hard, heâs electric most of the time. He can be quiet, too, like you tend to be, but youâre worried that youâre another night closer to him deciding heâs bored. Itâs been weeks since you went anywhere, and you havenât fucked in almost as long.Â
âCan I have this?â he asks, pulling your hand to his lips.Â
You smile as he kisses your knuckles, barely there presses of his lips to your skin that linger.Â
âYou havenât turned a page yet.âÂ
âItâs hard to start,â you tell him.Â
âWhatâs it about? Fantasy?âÂ
âNo, just a romance, I think.âÂ
âI like your romances. You read the complicated ones with the good love, like ours.âÂ
Itâs a very nice thing to say, even if youâre not sure how he knows what romance youâre reading. He enjoys listening to you talk about books when theyâre done, so perhaps the details have sunk in.
You let the book flop to the side and curl up around your joined hands. âI love you,â you say.Â
He curls into you in return, âYou should. That was a good line,â he says teasingly. âI love you too, my girl.â He speaks it with a quiet, gentle cadence that suits him and the pet name well. âLift your head. Wanna see you.âÂ
You angle your face up to give him a view of the half that isnât hidden by the sheets. âIâm so boring.âÂ
âSays who?âÂ
âEverybody, probably. All we do is watch TV and sleep.âÂ
âGood thing I love both of those things.â He wraps an arm around you, palm to your shoulder. âAnd itâs not true. We went to the cafe yesterday after work. On the weekend, weâre going to the cinema. Why, do you want to do more?âÂ
âItâs not me I��m worried about, Siri. Arenât you bored?âÂ
He stares at you. Long, non-judgmental looking, his dark lashes kissing in the corners as his gaze wanders down to your neck. âIs this about something else?âÂ
âNo.âÂ
His mouth turns sympathetic, a wobbly frown. âAre you sure, lovely? You can talk to me.âÂ
You weigh each word as you say it, determined not to embarrass yourself, âIâm worried that I donât make your life very interesting. We donât go out much, we donât drink, and I neverâŚâÂ
You turn your face down, your forehead to his chest. Sirius hums unhappily and encourages your head back to see you again almost immediately. âYou never what?â he asks.Â
âNever mind.âÂ
âNo, please. Tell me, Y/N. You can tell me anything, I wonât care.â Heâs getting so serious about it and itâs making it even more embarrassing than before, but you donât want him to worry. You spit it out.Â
âI donât put out. We hardly ever have sex.âÂ
âDoes that upset you?â he asks.Â
âWell. It upsets me if it upsets you.âÂ
âIt doesnât.â His hand cups your cheek, his forehead drops down to yours. âIt doesnât upset me. Did I make you think that?âÂ
âYouâre just so cool and Iâm your loser.â
He laughs happily. âYouâre my loser,â he agrees.Â
âThe last couple of times Iâve said no. I guess I just worry you want more than Iâm giving out, so. I donât want you to wish we were having more sex, but I canât make myself want it more.âÂ
âI see.âÂ
You listen to him breathing, the warmth of his exhale like a kiss all its own as it fans over your mouth.
He rubs your cheek with his thumb. âCan I tell you what I think?â You nod, and he continues, âI only want to have sex with you, thatâs one of the consequences of being in love. Itâs a good one. So if you donât wanna have sex, itâs safe to say I donât want to either. Okay? Love you just as much with or without it.âÂ
Unlike him and not to be this tender. You bite the inside of your lip.
âPromise?â you ask.Â
âI promise.âÂ

⢠summary: when reader and remusâ son gets ill at school.
⢠a/n: i really wanted to write something including teddy, but tonks is not his mother in this, it would be you my darling
⢠contains: father-son duo
⢠word count: 911
masterlist || requests
It was a Monday morning, a day that every student dreaded. It was another Monday that meant the school week was in full swing and a whole seven days of classes stretched into the future. For Professor Lupin, it was just another day where heâd go to class, check in with Teddy, and then continue working on the assignments for the class he instructed.
However, Teddy had other priorities. Heâd woken up feeling sick. Not sick enough to skip class - heâd never even think of that - but sick enough that he looked it. Pale, sweating, overall just looking worse for wear as he struggled into class.
It hadnât taken Remus long to spot the clear state that his son was in. The moment that Teddy had stepped into the class, the manâs gaze had snapped up from the stack of papers on his desk and heâd frowned. Teddy didnât get sick very often, which meant that if he was, he probably felt pretty terrible.
As class went on, he would occasionally glance at his son, finding that Teddy looked worse and worse by the minute. And he had a feeling he knew exactly why; the boy had gone out in the rain last night.
But as class came to an end, Remus rose to his feet, his gaze flickering back to Teddy again. The kid looked downright miserable, the only thing keeping him upright seeming to be sheer stubbornness.
When the rest of the class began filtering out, Remus stepped up to Teddyâs desk, placing a gentle hand on his sonâs shoulder. âYou okay, Teddy?â The question was said quietly, a hint of concern laced in his tone.
Teddy looked up at his father groggily, offering him a weak smile. âYeah, Iâm fine. Just a little tired.â He didnât want to admit that he was sick, not wanting his father to worry about him.
Remus wasnât convinced, his gaze flickering over the boy as he took in just how rough he looked. âUh huh,â he said skeptically, his hand moving up to press against Teddyâs forehead.
Teddy couldnât help a shiver that shot through him, both a result of the coldness of his fatherâs hand and the burning fever that was clearly making itself apparent.
Remusâ frown deepened as his hand met Teddyâs skin. He was definitely warm; far too warm to be healthy. Taking a step closer, he crouched down so he was level with Teddy, his hand gently taking a hold of his chin and tilting his sonâs face towards him.
Despite trying to force himself to keep a neutral expression, Teddy couldnât hide the exhaustion that was written across his face. Remus noticed it immediately, his eyes narrowing in his assessment of his sonâs health.
Seeing just how exhausted his son appeared, Remus couldnât help but shake his head a little. Teddy was, if anything, too much like his mother. Stubborn enough to try and deny that he was sick even when it was painfully obvious.
âYou, my boy, are not fine,â Remus spoke, a hint of sternness in his voice. âYouâre burning up and look like youâre ready to fall over.â
Teddy frowned, not keen on being fussed over, especially by his father. âIâm fine, honestly. Really, Iâm alright.â He insisted, his cheeks starting to get pink from the fever and the pressure of his fatherâs intense gaze.
Remus simply raised an eyebrow at his sonâs words. He knew how stubborn Teddy could be, especially when it came to hiding any sort of weakness. âUh huh, sure you are.â He said, his hand resting reassuringly on Teddyâs shoulder. âThen you wonât mind going to the hospital wing to let Madam Pomfrey take a look at you, will you?â
Teddyâs eyes widened, knowing that going to see Madam Pomfrey would end in him being pulled out of classes. He opened his mouth to protest but was interrupted by a sudden attack of coughing, his body shaking with the force of it.
Remus watched as his sonâs protests were interrupted by violent coughs, the action causing Teddy to hunch forward as it wracked through him. He rubbed his hand reassuringly against the boyâs back, a frown on his face as he did so.
Once Teddy had caught his breath after the coughing fit, his father stood up and moved to stand next to him. âCome on," he instructed, his hand resting on Teddyâs shoulder. âYouâre coming with me to the hospital wing.â
Teddy groaned, slumping forward and resting his head on the desk. âBut-â He started to protest but was quickly cut off by his fatherâs stern glare. With a defeated sigh, he lifted his head, a pout on his face.
âNo buts.â He said firmly. âCome on, up you get.â He reached out, gently tugging at his sonâs arm in order to coax the complaining boy to his feet.
Teddy grudgingly stood up, leaning a little heavily against his father as the world spun around him. Taking a careful step forward, his legs felt weak beneath him, a testament to just how ill he felt. Remus instantly wrapped an arm around his waist, holding the boy up.
âSteady there.â He said, his voice laced with concern. He didnât like seeing his son like this, so obviously suffering from whatever illness he had. âLean on me,â Remus instructed, taking a step forward and pulling Teddy along with him out of the room and towards the hospital wing.

Dude, I don't know why I am asking this. But do you think poly moonwater will choose to be child free? I do think so. I mean, regulus past story and remus fury problem, I don't think they'll want kids at all
But if reader accidentally gets pregnant. Do you think they gonna keep their distance an arm lenght? I mean, I remember in the book remus trying to leave nymphadora who's pregnant at that moment (or is it after she gave birth? Can't really remember) by trying to help Harry looking for the idk the name of it, voldemort collections?
oooouuuu this is a fun question! thanks for asking; and I think that happened before teddy lupin was born and they were searching for Voldemort's horcruxes! - also, in regards to canon, I think the reason remus felt willing to take off was because he truly was sort of all alone: no parents, no siblings, no family, no friends. Plus society constantly shitting on him, plus there being a war etc etc, he felt very desperate and didn't feel like he could handle being responsible for nymphadora and a child
But of course since WE DON'T LIVE IN A WOLD WITH VOLDEMORT OVER HERE đđđđ I think this is a valid question
(my answer is going to be SFW until the page break below - I will put warnings ahead of time for minors)
My answer would be yes, I agree that Regulus and Remus would perhaps wish to be childfree. Like you said, Remus feels like society views him as a stain and he wouldn't want to pass that legacy onto a child (biologically his or not), and he also wouldn't want to put a child through the pain of seeing their father suffer through every lunar cycle. Regulus had a horrific childhood and would be very scared to be anything like his mother or father, and I kind of see him as this guy who really doesn't know what to do with kids...he never had a childhood really, and never was around other kids until he was at Hogwarts, and by then he was right traumatized soooo yes I agree, he would be worried about having children.
As for our darling reader finding out she was pregnant? I have some thoughts on that.
I think Regulus has a deep rooted sense of duty and loyalty to his people, and ultimately, Remus and reader would be his people. Even if he hated the idea of reader being pregnant/having his child, I think he would shove that down so deep and just completely take on this role he never really wanted but hey, he's here now and he's going to do what he has to do. It was why he ended up in Slytherin (duty/loyalty to his family), and it was why he took the dark mark (duty/loyalty to his family). He took the mark because he believed that to be his role, his job in life - and if reader ended up pregnant, well, that was his duty then.
I think Remus would be a wild card. Remus never had a proper childhood either; he had to grow up really fast as he was bitten at only 4 years old. This means for as long as he can remember, he's been a werewolf. He didn't get to attend school (due to injuries/pains, scars, unexplained absences etc), he never had siblings, and he couldn't play with the village kids. So not only does he not necessarily know what to do with kids, I think he'd still have some of those "the kid would be better off without me, I can't curse another life to me and my lycanthropy) BUT I think he'd have been around Harry and loved that kid so damn much, and he'd have his friends and loved ones to help him come to terms with it.
This could be a cute fic request.
now.....as for the NSFW stuff (18+, minors don't look down here)
I have this headcanon that pureblood's have a breeding kink....they were literally bred, born, and raised to carry on the bloodline and produce heirs - so I don't think Regulus was fucking innocent in that conception LOL he would have been very excited thinking about spilling inside of reader and getting her knocked up.
in a similar vein, I also believe that there is a primal side of Remus with his lycanthropy which would ALSO support a breeding kink - truly fucks like an animal tbh and gets so turned on at the thought of filling reader up
okay sorry for being a dirty horn dog thanks byeeeee

ready baby- harry j potter x reader
p: harry j potter x fem! reader w: just fluff, not fully proofread summary: after the wizarding war, (y/n) and harry spend time healing from the past. harry is ready to move forward and start a family, but is (y/n) ready? a/n: a request from one of my lovely followers! kinda short but i hope its good
The end of the Second Wizarding War came as a relief to everyone, but it brought many deaths to love ones. From Fred, Lavender, Remus, Tonks and many more, both Harry and (Y/N) had to face a lot of coping and healing. Because of this, they couldn't really progress on what they desired in the future.
Since Harry was deemed as the godfather to Remus and Tonks' baby, Teddy Lupin, he and (Y/N) would often visit Andromeda to help raise him. (Y/N) had absolutely adored the little Metamorphmagus and was often the one coddling the boy. She'd always have Teddy wrapped snuggly in her arms. This sight was always a dream to Harry.
You see, Harry has always thought about having children, especially with (Y/N). He's always known that she was the one for him. He had proposed to her prior to the Battle of Hogwarts, promising that even if he had to die, he will always be hers. Thankfully, he had survived and defeated Voldemort, having their wedding a little bit after to bring cheer to a dark era.
Even though he really wanted children, he never expressed the thought towards (Y/N). He didn't want to bring this up when they were both healing from the war and didn't to put pressure on (Y/N) if she didn't want children. At least they had Teddy to help raise.
The two Potters returned home after celebrating little Teddy's fifth birthday with Andromeda and the Weasleys. The two had always spoiled Teddy a little too much when it came to birthdays and Christmas, giving him a pile full of gifts ranging from different toys to pictures of the boy's late parents.
After the two had changed into more comfortable clothes, (Y/N) had went to make tea for the two of them. Harry sat at the table, staring at his lovely wife.
"Teddy is growing up pretty fast, don't you think?" (Y/N) says to Harry as she brought him his tea.
"He is. Soon he'll be taller than you," Harry said, a faint "hey!" coming from (Y/N).
"Maybe he'll be taller than you."
Harry laughed. "Yeah right."
A comfort silence laid in the room before (Y/N) began speaking.
"Hey Harry?"
"Yes, love?"
"I've been thinking," (Y/N) started. "After spending so much time helping Andromeda with Teddy, I think I'm ready."
Harry was slightly confused. "Ready? For what?"
A shaky (Y/N) took a deep breath. "I think I'm ready to start a family with you."
"Really?" Harry asked.
"Yes. Caring for Teddy made me think of what it'd be like to raise a child of our own. And you know, maybe give Teddy a young sibling," she said.
To say Harry was happy was an understatement. The man had stood up and wrapped his arms around his wife, picking her up and spinning around in joy.
"I can't believe it," Harry said as he sets her back on the ground. "Are you sure you want to do this? With me?"
"Yes Harry, there's no one else I'd rather have a child with than you." (Y/N) told him. "Besides, I think it's time we move forward in our lives. I know we will never truly get over the war, but we can focus on our future, bring more little wizards around."
"We should have three little Harrys," he said jokingly.
(Y/N) laughed. "If they're anything like your sassy self, you're handling that catastrophe."
"I'm not sassy!"
"Joking! Maybe."
Harry cupped (Y/N)'s cheek before leaning forward to kiss her, (Y/N) meeting his lips at the middle.
"I love you, darling," Harry said to (Y/N).
"I love you too, Harry."
"So," Harry began. "When can we start this family?"

Gilded Constellations | wolfstar x reader
Series Masterlist | Previous episode
Pairing: Wolfstar x Reader Word Count: 6.9 K Warnings: None Prompt: It's finally time... the Quidditch Match. This IS a wolfstar x reader fic, but it's incredibly slow burn. They won't start all dating each other until we're very deep into the story, but I promise the long wait will be worth it.
Chapter 19: Silver Bird
When you come home, my crazy heart will greet those silver wings Your pet dog will remember you, and I'll carry your things We'll catch a runnin' make-up, and you will look just fine And you'll remain my friend, my friend until you're mine
It was finally Saturday, James had you arrive at the pitch an hour and a half before the match was going to start, so you could warm up properly. You still had thirty minutes to get there, and you were rummaging through your neverending chest to try and find the stupid blue undies youâd promised to wear.Â
âIs it this ones?â Mary asked, as she sat next to you.Â
You looked at the piece she had in her hand and you shook your head, âThose arenât very comfortable for flying.âÂ
She nodded and continued looking through the chest. Lily, who was looking through your dresser asked âYou said cute, baby blue, matching set, right?âÂ
âYeah,â you responded, not looking at her yet.Â
âI think Iâve got them.â She said, taking the pair out and showing it to you. You beamed and got up from the floor towards her, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead âItâs perfect, thank you!â you said as you took them from her hands and went inside the bathroom.Â
âThat was a very Sirius thing to do,â said Marlene from her bed as she laced her shoes.
Mary agreed âSometimes theyâre so alike itâs scary.âÂ
âI donât think so,â said Lily, with a hand on her chin. âSheâs not that much like Sirius, if anything Iâd say sheâs more like Remus.âÂ
âRemus? How?â Asked Beth, she had dropped by to get ready with the girls, they were all planning to use some coloured paint on their faces, along all the Gryffindor memorabilia they had gathered.
âWell, sheâs responsible and caring. And she always helps everyone in the study clubs. And even if she hangs out with the boys all the time, sheâs never gotten detention. Remus almost never gets detention either. They both know their way around it, somehow.âÂ
âWell, when you say it like thatâŚâÂ
Finally, the door of the bathroom opened and you walked outside, your thick quidditch pants on, along with a simple shirt you were planning to wear underneath your quidditch sweater. You looked out the window, it was getting greyer and grayer âYou think itâs gonna rain?â you asked.Â
âOn the forecast, it said it wouldnât,â said Beth, who had revised it on the papers at breakfast.Â
âBut the current climate divintor is really bad,â complained Marlene âThe other day I planned a picnic with Holden, and it said it would be sunny. We were in the middle of the way to the spot weâd found when a storm broke out, we had to use charms to stop the rain from ruining our day.âÂ
âBetter take the anti-slippery gloves then,â Beth said, as she picked out a pair from the ones you had laid out on the bed, âjust in case.âÂ
You nodded, and took them in your hands, before placing them on the small duffle bag in which you were packing the rest of your equipment. Including the Quidditch robes and anything other than the sweater and the pants. âYouâve already eaten right?â Mary asked.Â
âYeah, like 2 hours ago,â you said with a nod âI wanted enough time to digest before flying.
âBrilliant idea!â she said with a smile âLast time Marlene ate last minute she was puking when the game ended.Â
âThatâs because I got a bludger on the edge my broom and spinned around like 30 times,â she huffed, and then turned to you âReady for your first game luv?âÂ
âBorn ready,â you said, with a little smirk.
Marlene mirrored your expression, âThatâs exactly what I expected to hear.âÂ
Once in the pitch, you spotted James and Teddy talking to each other, Davis and Gale were sitting on a bench, and you werenât sure where Sirius was, that was until you felt someone hugged you from behind and planted a kiss on your cheek âYou look stunning in those clothes Starshine,â he said as he tightened his grip around your waist.Â
Sirius was still hugging you when James asked everyone to gather closer to him. And he didnât let go of you even as James spoke âThis is the first match of the year, and we must give it our all! Ravenclaw has a fierce team, Holden is a brilliant seeker, Tobias and Penelope are fierce with the bludgers, they will try to hit every single one of us, and even if we have Sirius and Marlene to protect us, you need to keep an eye on the bludgers at all time. Especially you,â he said, giving you a look âThey will try to throw you off your broom.âÂ
You nodded as you took a deep breath, the seekers and the keepers always got the worst of the bludgers, you knew that already, but the seekers had a wider moving area, while as a keeper, youâd have to stay closer to the goals âIâll have your back,â Sirius whispered in your ear as James continued his speech.Â
âTheir chasers are good, I donât know much of the newer kids but Adrian is fast, not as fast as you Gale, but fast regardless, keep an eye on him at all times, the further we keep their ball from our goals the better, even if we have (Y/N).â
Teddy intervened later âJust pay full attention to your surroundings at all times, we can beat them, weâve trained enough.âÂ
âTime for warm-up,â James said then, and had you do a couple of exercises before allowing you to go up in your brooms for a few laps around the pitch.Â
When you had 10 minutes left, James had you all come down to fasten all the quidditch protection equipment accordingly. He handed you a bag, with a thick brown helmet and a chest plate as well. âI forgot the keeperâs equipment was some of the less glamorous,â you said as you looked at them, he laughed.Â
âYou know how to put it on, donât you?â Â
You nodded, and dragged the items to the side, starting with the shin and knee protectors and slowly moving your way up to the chest.Â
Sirius, who had a lot less things to put on, was done before you and he walked closer to you âNeed help?âÂ
âIâm good,â you said as you continued fastening your arm protections. When you put on the breast protector, you started struggling with the fastening, and Sirius closed the gap between the two of you.Â
âLet me,â he said, his hands over yours, fastening the sides of the thing with ease âItâs that too tight?â
You shook your head, still grasping the fact that you werenât alone anymore, that you could depend on him, on your new friends. You grabbed the helmet and turned to him âHow do I look now?â you asked with a teasing smile, the helmet still held between your hands.Â
Sirius smirked before he answered âRavishing.â
You laughed, tilting your head back as you let yourself completely indulge in the fun. Sirius was looking at you adoringly as you tittered, at the way your eyes would crinkle and your smile grew wide. He stared, shamelessly, until he heard someone calling for you from the side, he placed his hand over your shoulder and nodded to their way. You were still smiling when you turned to look at the direction Sirius was pointing at, it was Nina and Sybil.Â
âHey, girls!â You said as you approached them happily, almost skipping towards them, Nina had a Gryffindor scarf on and Sybil was holding a pair of red and yellow flags in her hands âYouâll get jinxed by your house members,â you told them motioning to the Gryffindor memorabilia they had on.Â
âWeâre not really close to the players,â Sbybil said with a shrug, of course she wouldnât care.Â
âBut we do know you.â Nina said with a smile âWe brought you something,â she added before bringing her hand inside the messenger bag she had hung across her shoulder and taking out a blue ribbon. Something blue.
âFor me?â You asked with a small smile.Â
âSo you remember not all Ravenclaws are against you today,â Nina said. âSybil says itâs for good luck too.âÂ
âIt is,â Sybil confirmed. âWhy do you think ladies used to tie something on the lances of the men they liked before a joust? If a person who really cares about you gives it to you, it will be infused with a special kind of magic.âÂ
âWell then, you may tie it wherever you want,â You said with a smile, walking a little closer to the girls, Nina was the one to attach it, lacing it through the thinner side of the chest protection you had on, carefully tying it into a neat little bow.
âI feel like I should say somethingâŚâ she said with a little smile, you nodded, prompting her to speak âOh fair lady,â she stated, in a very theatrical tone, even faking a strong Scottish accent âMay this token ofâŚâÂ
ââOf affection,â offered Sybil.Â
âOf affection?â Nina asked with a frown, turning back to her natural voice. Sybil nodded fervently and Nina shrugged, clearing her throat before continuing âMay this token of our⌠devoted affection⌠deliver you from all evil and take you to victoryâŚâ She turned to Sybil, who gave her a thumbs up, and finally, she pulled her hands from your chestplate, a little blush showing on her face.Â
You smiled, and leaned a little, âThank you, my lady,â you said in the tone a true knight would, and then looked up at the two girls with a cheeky grin, still mid bow.Â
You got a soft punch from Nina on the arm âDonât make it even sillier.â
âIâm not being silly!â you said in between laughs âIâm truly happy you came to support me today.âÂ
Sirius finally came over and placed an arm over your shoulder, bringing you a little closer to him âCan you believe our little Starshine just got a ladyâs favour?â He asked James, who was just a couple of metres behind âWhen have we ever gotten one of those? And from a pair of Ravenclaws nonetheless.âÂ
âItâs for good luck,â Nina said reproachfully. âItâs her first match, donât tease her so much about it.â
âItâs all right Nina,â you said with a cheeky little smile âSirius is just jealous.âÂ
He pouted, âCanât I get a cute ribbon too?âÂ
âHas to be given by someone who really cares about you,â Nina said casually.Â
âAuch,â Sirius said dramatically.Â
Nina opened her eyes wide âI didnât mean that I didnât caâŚâÂ
âHeâs just teasing you luv,â you said reassuringly. âHere, lean a little closer,â you told Sirius, when he did, you placed a soft kiss on the corner of his lips. âHowâs that for your ladyâs favour?â you asked with a teasing grin. Nina averted her gaze from the two of you and Sybil gave her a sympathetic glance.Â
âHm⌠Not sure,â Sirius responded âMight need it to be a little longer, for good measure, you know?âÂ
Finally, Sybil cleared her throat âWeâll go find a good place to sit,â she said with a smile.Â
âGood luck!â Nina told you with a tight smile before turning to go.Â
You walked out of Siriusâ grasp and towards her and Sybil âGirls wait!â you said as you grabbed onto Ninaâs shoulder âThank you,â you said earnestly, âfor everything.âÂ
Nina smiled, seeing as how you had run to catch her âItâs nothing, really. We wanted to be here.âÂ
âYeah,â Sybil said, âYou do your magic, weâll be here, rooting for you.âÂ
You smiled at the two of them one last time and they took off towards the bleachers. âReady for the match?â Remusâ soft voice came from behind, startling you in a good way.Â
You turned to him and nodded âJames had us warm up and even gave us a team spirit speech. It was inspiring.â
Remus caught the slight sarcasm in your tone and chuckled âYouâll be wearing that?â he asked as he motioned to your helmet still in your hand.Â
You nodded âKeepers are one of the main targets of the bludgers. James wouldnât let me play without it. Merlin forbid something happens to one of his players,â he chuckled again, leaning down just a little to take the helmet from your hands and place it over your head âWhat are you doing?âÂ
âMaking sure Jamesâ little star-keeper is as safe as she should,â He said casually as he fastened the straps under your chin.Â
âI was waiting until the very last minute to put it onâŚâ Â
âWhy? You get too hot with it?âÂ
âNot at all, I just think I look like an egg,â you said with a pout.
Remus stepped back just a little, too look at you better âWell, I think you look cute.âÂ
You laughed, and hit him on the shoulder playfully âSure thing Rem,â you said dismissively, then you heard the blow of the whistle. âGameâs calling,â you said with a dashing smile before walking back to the pitch, Remus stared at your receding figure as you walked towards the pitch.
As you gathered around everyone you managed to see the rest of your friends walking over the bleachers to find a seat. Tom was wearing face paint, just like the rest of the girls, a few stripes of red and gold painted across their cheek. Lily had a banner in her hand that had a fierce-looking lion roaring, and it had written down the names of all the members of the team. Some other people in the crowd had reused the memorabilia from the race, so you even saw a couple of people wearing some of the pins with your faces on them.Â
Another blow to the whistle and you were walking alongside James to the centre of the pitch. âCaptains, step forward!â Said a young Professor you hadnât met before, but that youâd seen around meals, he must be the flying instructor, you thought. Both James and Lionel did as told, he turned to Lionel âReady?âÂ
âReady!âÂ
He turned to James and the boy responded âReady!âÂ
The teacher nodded, and then gave you a look âKeepers, positions,â he said. Both you and Lionel mounted your brooms and flew toward your places. The wind howled in your ears as you hovered in front of the goals. It was a cold day, and you were thankful you had so much protection gear on since it was enough to keep you a little warm, at least until the action started.Â
You saw the Professor release the snitch, you could see it glistening with the bit of sun that the clouds allowed to pass through, it circled around James and Holden, taunting them before disappearing into the air. Everyone mounted their brooms. The crowd cheered as the game was just about to start. The atmosphere felt electric and thrilling, the wind pushing you towards your hoops as you steadied your broom to maintain your position.Â
The Chasers jockeyed for position, determined to outmanoeuvre each other and score those crucial goals. Gale, Davis and Teddy were already in the position they had planned, and the three of them kept their sights on the quaffle that the Professor still held in between his hands. Sirius was flying close to James, while Marlene was flying just above you, ready to stop any bludgers coming your way, as James had instructed.Â
Marlene tightened her grip on her bat, and with another blow of the whistle the game finally began, the Quaffle soaring into the air in an instant. Gale flew straight to it, managing to size it in the air, and flew straight towards the other teamâs goal. But after Sirius hit the bludger towards Lionel, Penelope Linwood, the other teamâs beater, shot it straight at Gale, who had to pass the quaffle to Davis to out-manoeuvre the bludger that wouldnât stop following him.Â
Davis took the ball and went for a shot, but Lionel managed to catch it just before it went inside the goal hoop to his left. The ball was with the other team, your heart pounded in your ears as adrenaline rushed through your body, you knew the quaffle could be thrown your way any minute now, so whatever you did, you had to focus. You felt the wind blowing even stronger, your broom moving with it a little more than youâd expect it to.Â
Sirius managed to catch up with Davis and batted the bludger away from him, launching straight towards the chasers of the other team, disrupting their formation and buying you some time. The way they were flying, one against the other, they were probably planning to corner you in between the three of them. One of them, a boy with short red hair, who flew like a lightning bolt to avoid Siriusâ bludger âand who you assumed was Adrianâ was dogging absolutely everything and everyone as he flew straight at you.Â
You smiled confidently when you saw him throw a short glance at one of his chasers, a small girl with neat braids through her entire head. It was Cynthia, you realised, from one of your classes. They were going to faint. So even as you kept your head in Adrianâs direction, you made sure to keep Cynthia in your line of sight at all times. You saw the other bludger be beaten in your direction.
âFocus on your thing!â Marlene shouted, flying straight towards the bludger and batting it fiercely to Adrian, but he managed to dodge the ball and it started following the other chaser instead. The redhead was already reaching the zone, his move would be any second now. He smiled, pretending to throw the ball to the left hoop before throwing it straight to Cynthia. That had been a sick faint, but you had seen it coming, so you didnât even bother going to the left and instead went straight to the direction Cynthia had thrown the ball, efficiently getting it in between your hands before it even got close to the goals. The audience cheered as you flew a little higher, trying to find Anne Davis. If she got the ball now, you were sure sheâd get it across the field and through Lionel. Â
Once you spotted her, you plunged down and launched the ball at her when she was just a couple of metres away, continuing your way down before doing a sharp turn and going back to your goals. When the ball was in her hands she started dogging the bludgers, that seemed like they were only following her until Marlene flew straight towards one of them and threw it to Lionel.Â
Davis had to shoot the ball to Teddy for a second but he threw it straight back at her and she launched it toward the goal, Lionel wasnât fast enough to stop it, and it went straight through. The crowd erupted in cheers. Anne was grinning as she went back to position. As everyone cheered you felt a strong jolt in your broom. You frowned and looked down, studying the broom as you steadied it. You squint your eyes when you feel it again, a lot weaker this time. You turned to the bleachers then, narrowing your eyes in case you spotted someone. The jolt had felt exactly like the one that had thrown you and Sirius off your brooms a couple of weeks ago. You took a deep breath and tightened your grip around your broom. Iâm not falling today, you thought before turning your eyes back to the quaffle.Â
The jolts didnât come back, as if the person trying to throw you off the broom had given up on them completely, but your grip on the broom did not loosen at all, you had to keep your ward up, at all times now. The quaffle was now in Cynthia's hand, and she had thrown it to a strong-looking boy with a blonde fringe, their last chaser. He came straight to you, looking imposing since he was a lot bigger, perhaps as tall as Remus, but with a wider back, which made him look threatening.Â
Thank Merlin heâs not a beater, you thought. He came straight onto you, paying no mind to the bludger following closely behind him. You did not keep your eyes away from him until you felt a light hitting straight onto your eyes, blinding you from how bright it was. The blond boy did his shot and you werenât fast enough, it went right through your right goal, there were cheers from the Ravenclaws, and groans from the Gryffindors.Â
You went to get the ball and threw it straight at Teddy, who moved further away with it. And you took the time to look around the bleachers, trying to figure out what the hell had blinded you when the light hit you again. You placed your left hand over your eye only to realise a very small dot of light reflecting on it, moving frantically trying to find your eyes again. âA mirror,â you whispered to yourself, âTheyâre trying to use a bloody mirror.â You then remembered you had Siriusâ goggles, and placed them over your eyes, hoping the sun protection spell they had on them was enough. They were indeed! Just reflective enough to bounce the light off your eyes. You smiled, whoever was trying to sabotage you, and you had a pretty damn good idea who it might have been, would have a bloody hard time doing so.Â
Finally managing to focus on the game again, you noticed Sirius throw a hard shot towards the blonde boy, managing to hit just on the back of his broom and having him spinning out for a good minute before he managed to get back control.Â
âBrilliant Black!â you shouted from your spot, not so far away from him. He gave you a little wink, boasting for a good second before ducking as one of the other teamâs beaters had thrown the bludger straight back at him. That made you chuckle just a bit, before you saw the same blond boy, doing a daring dive towards you and your goals. This time, when he shot, you managed to stop the quaffle with ease, even if the strength of the hit had you pull back just a little, the impact reverberating through your body as you held on tight. You heard the Gryffindor supporters erupting into cheers, and you felt the same euphoric feeling you felt when you caught a snitch and ended a game back in your old school. With a graceful smile towards them, you sent the quaffle hurtling back into the game.Â
But Cynthia Abbot intercepted your throw and launched the ball straight onto your goals again. You threw yourself towards the quaffle again, but realising your hand wouldnât be long enough to stop it, you did a sharp turn and used the back of your broom to bat the ball away from the hoops, accidentally sending it straight towards Jamesâ head, who wasnât looking. âProngs! Watch outââ you tried to warn him but it bounced off his head and Davis managed to size it, diving straight towards Lionel and the Ravenclaw post.Â
You flew closer to James, still keeping an eye on the quaffle as you did âYou ok?â you asked preoccupied âI didnât mean toââÂ
â-That was a brilliant save!â He said, turning to you with a smile, âHurt a little though.âÂ
You winced when you realised the boy was rubbing the back of his head, âSorryâŚâÂ
âIâm good, you keep up that amazing work going, donât worry about me, all right?â
âSuddenly you saw a gold shine pass right in front of your eyes, and you followed it with a short gaze, before turning back to James âDid you see thââ You didnât even finish, you knew the answer when you spotted Jamesâ wide grin and his hazel pupils following the snitch with precise movement, âGo get her tiger!â You said as he started flying in its direction.Â
âBack to your goals,â he said with a smile before flying off towards the snitch. You smiled as you saw him chase behind it, and flew back to your place, the Quaffle was still on your teamâs hands, so you were relatively relaxed as you kept your eyes on James, who darted through the air, waving and looping through the players, dodging bludgers and following the snitchâs every move. Holden wasnât too far behind him, but Marlene and Sirius were making sure he had many flying bludgers to dodge, both also protecting James, so he could reach for the snitch. You admired the way Marlene threw the iron balls at her boyfriend as if he was just some random seeker she had to throw off her broom.
Suddenly the ball was back with the chasers of the other team, Adrian darting towards you while one of the beaters from the other team batted a bludger straight to your face. You knew exactly what you had to do, James hadnât had you practise handstands and pull-ups so much for nothing, so you went straight for it. Holding yourself up to allow the bludger to pass through as you hit the bludger with your leg, flipping yourself back into your broom with a sharp turn. The crowd cheered again, many had heard of the movement, but they hadnât seen it, but that wasnât the end, you dived straight down to catch the quaffle and flew straight towards Gale, passing it on his hands in a quick manoeuvre before flying back to the goals.Â
Gale, in turn, went straight to Lionel and shot, earning another 10 points for Gryffindor, which had the crowd of Gryffindor supporters standing on their feet as they cheered on for Gale, even you joined them, screaming âThomas! Thomas! Thomas!â with one of your arms extended out in a triumphant first. He turned to you with a little smile, it was his first goal since he joined the team, he must have been feeling ecstatic, as much as you were whenever you stopped one of the Ravenclawâs advances.
Time seemed to blur as the match continued, each passing second a testament to your teamwork and determination. The score remained close, both your team and the Ravenclaw had a hard time scoring. Aldrige had been a keeper since 4th grade, so it wasnât surprising he was such a brilliant player. Which is why you felt a little triumphant at the fact you had stopped more of the balls shot your way than he had. Even if the blonde keeper had probably hurt your left index finger from how hard they had shot the ball one time. You had only cursed under your breath and shot the ball back to Teddy.Â
Sirius had seen it, and flew your way âYou alright luv?â he asked, a little frown on his face.Â
âSirius!â you screamed âBehind you.â The boy turned around sharply and barely managed to bat the bludger away from his face âFocus on your bludgers, not on me!â you told him sharply.Â
He gave you one last look before nodding and flying towards the bludgers. You took a deep breath, yes, it was nice to see him so worried for you, but he couldâve gotten hurt had you not been keeping an eye around you and drowned yourself in the stupid blue of his eyes, which wasnât hard with the way he had stared at you. James was right, it was better to keep Marlene as your main defender instead.Â
Cynthia orchestrated a swift series of passes, bringing her team within striking distance of Gryffindor's goalposts. Your heart raced as you braced yourself for the impending shot, a deep breath as you focused your gaze on the ball and their faces, attempting to decipher exactly what it was they were going to do. And then she shot, sending the quaffle towards the hoop that was the farthest from your reach. You lunged yourself towards it, your fingertips barely grazing the smooth surface of the ball. You heard the crowd gasp, and then erupt in cheers as the ball ricocheted off your fingers and veered off course, missing the hoop by inches. When you realised you had managed to stop it, you were breathing heavily, and gripping onto your broom again, a lot tighter than you thought you were. Realising only after that you had almost fallen off your broom when you veered the quaffle odd course.Â
The final minutes of the match were a whirlwind of adrenaline and emotion. The Seekers soared, the Chasers battled, and the Beaters continued their relentless bludger assault. Every save, every pass, every point earned or lost had the crowd on the edge of their seats.Â
Marlene was hovering close to you as Sirius struggled to keep the bludgers away from James, and as soon as the quaffle was in your teamâs hands, you flew closer to her âGo help Sirius!â you shouted.Â
âBut Iâm supposed to defend you!â she argued.Â
âLeave it, I can dodge, just make sure Prongâs fine so he can get the snitch!âÂ
Marlene looked at you apprehensively, as if she was deciding whether it was a good or a bad idea âTrust me, Mars, I can handle them. Theyâre all over Potter anyway!âÂ
She took one last glance at you and dove straight to James and Sirius, beating the bludger they had off course and towards Lionel. He managed to dodge by a millisecond and looked shocked when he realised he too had been left alone in the goals. The four beaters were all over the seekers, defending their own house and trying to throw the opponent off his broom.Â
The redhead chaser came at you again, the quaffle in his hand, one last attempt to score. He was thrilled when he figured Mars was gone and he placed his hand on his mouth, whistling effortlessly, one of the Ravenclaw beaters turned around and batted the bludger straight at you. At the same time, Adrian threw the quaffle in the same direction.Â
You tried to look at the score, but you were still way below the safe line. If Holden got the snitch, which you hoped wouldnât happen, your team would lose. So you didnât move, ready to take the hit of both the bludger and the quaffle at the same time. And you did, catching the quaffle first and using it as a shield to loosen the punch of the bludger, but the blow had been heavy, and even as you tried to stop it, the bludgerâs momentum caused the quaffle to sink into your gut with such force that it not only took your breath away but pushed you back a few feet as well. You heard a choir of âOoosâ and âOuchesâ from the audience, and you coughed a couple of times, using the same quaffle to throw the bludger towards the other side.Â
Sirius turned to you, a worried look on his face, James had been too focused on the snitch to notice. But he had the other two beaters on him. âFocus on Potter!â you shouted, however you could, and he hesitantly turned back to James. You were sure it was going to bruise, it had been a harder hit than Bartyâs, probably because it had been a bludger the one that pushed the quaffle into your stomach. Panting, you turned around and spotted Teddy just a couple of metres away, an expression of awe on his face, evidently impressed by your display of determination and slightly stupid bravery. You gave him a half smile before throwing the quaffle his way, âLetâs get another 10 points shall we?âÂ
Teddy smiled at you and nodded, catching the quaffle and diving straight to the other side of the field, Gale and Anne easily following behind him and creating a formation, they were going to use one of the plays, and since the other teamâs beaters were focused on James, they had the upper hand. A couple of passes and they managed to score.Â
Then there were cheers from all the Gryffindor supporters, but it wasnât because of the points theyâd just gotten, in fact, high above, at about the same time, James had lunged forwards and wrapped his fingers around the snitch. The game was over, the Gryffindor cheers were so loud, that they made you smile even if you still felt like you wanted to puke, from the stinging pain of the hit.Â
As you soaked in the cheers of the crowd, you knew that this victory was more than just a game; it was prove of how strong the Gryffindor team was now, how, even if you had so many new members, including yourself, the constant training and early mornings had been of good use. You smiled brightly as you finally managed to land back on the ground, heart still panting as you used your broom to hold yourself up.Â
Everyone was cheering, you saw the entire team wrap around James, and bring him up in the air as he held the snitch, the crowds still cheering in the background. You finally stood up, smiling as you tried to forget the sharp pain on your stomach and ran towards them, to cheer on. Sirius was the first one to approach you, placing his hands on the sides of your face and scanning it carefully.Â
âAre you ok?â He asked with a frown.Â
âYeah, totally,â you lied with a half smile, but he saw straight through you and pulled you into a hug.Â
âPlease donât do that again, I wanted to drop the bat and go see what the hell had happened to you because of the way everyone gasped.âÂ
âYou didnât see it?â You asked, pulling back to look straight into his eyes.Â
He shook his head âWhen I turned to you, you had the quaffle in your hands and were screaming at me to get behind Prongs again.âÂ
You nodded, âIt was just a hard blow, Iâm sure people were just being dramaticââÂ
ââWhat the hell (Y/N)!â James interrupted. Shit, he knows. âYouâre supposed to avoid the Bludgers, not get in their way!âÂ
âWhoever told you, Iâm sure they were exaggerating.âÂ
âLionel Aldrige came over to tell me I had the bravest keeper heâd ever met, that heâd never seen anyone try to stop the goddamned bludger with a quaffle! And that he wasnât even sure heâd be able to do it himself!â James pretty much shouted.
âIs that what you did?!â Sirius asked, raising his voice at you as well.Â
âI had toâ I had to stop the quaffle somehow.âÂ
âWe could afford to lose ten points!âÂ
You shook your head âNot if you hadnât caught the snitch, we werenât 160 above them yet!â
 âThere was no way in hell you had the strength to stop the quaffle with your arms, thatâs why we use bats!â Sirius argued then.Â
âWhere the hell was Marlene anyway?â James chimed, pinching his nose.Â
âCovering for you, I told her to go, you had the beaters all over you, I was free.âÂ
James stared at you in disbelief, âFor how long?â
âThe beater actually shot from where he was, still trailing behind you, the deacceleration fromââÂ
âWhat deacceleration? Itâs literally an iron ball!â James said, interrupting you again, he was clearly riled up.
âIt was reckless!â Sirius said then.
âYou canât do it again!â James added.Â
âWhat if itâs all it takes to win a game?âÂ
âIâd rather lose a game than lose a friend!âÂ
You huffed, biting your cheek to avoid saying the retort that came to our mind, how James was being overly dramatic. But it would be useless, it wouldnât change their minds. âFine, but letâs just leave this subject behind, we should be celebrating notââÂ
âAre you ok?â You heard Remus ask from behind âThe way the bludger pushed you back almost all the way into the hoops IââÂ
You sighed, just when youâd gotten James and Sirius off your back, âIâm fine! Iâm not some delicate flower that canât stand the hit of a bludger in the gut!âÂ
âYou think weâre worried because youâre a girl?â Remus asked, quick to catch on to why you were being so stubborn about it.
âIs that not it?âÂ
âNo, you dumbass! Iâd be just as worried if Sirius had gotten hit by a bludger in the gut!âÂ
âYou would?â Sirius teased, âThatâs so sweet of you Moons.âÂ
You laughed at Siriusâ silly answer, âFine, maybe it was a dumb thing toââ
 ââit was,â Sirius interrupted, emphasising the âwasâ. Â
âWhatever, it wonât happen again, case closed, letâs go to the party.âÂ
âWouldnât you like to see Madam Pomrey first?â Remus asked.Â
You shot him a look and walked towards the rest of the team, they were still cheering and celebrating along with their friends.Â
âSheâs so goddamned hot-headed!â Sirius huffed as he stood next to the boys, watching you walk towards Marlene and Lily. Youâd probably get a scold from them as well.Â
âReminds me of you,â Remus added, looking at Sirius from the side.Â
Back in the common room, there was music and drinks and somehow even snacks for everyone as they cheered on. When Peter started talking about the things youâd done again, he and Tom had started a motion for you to be carried into the air for a couple of seconds, everyone agreed and you ended up in the air, being shoved up and down a couple of times before they finally let you down. They thought of you as a hero, and you felt like a rockstar. It was something you werenât used to, but being cheered on by so many people was undoubtedly nice. Even if at some point you had to step away from the crowd and onto a quieter area of the common room, sitting down on the sofa and feeling the pain kick in as the adrenaline started to fade away.Â
Sirius was next to you a couple of minutes later, placing his arm over your shoulder and dragging you closer to him âWith the whole bludger incident, I think I forgot to tell you how freaking amazing you were today on the game,â he said, mouth close to your ear as he spoke, âYou barely allowed the Ravenclaws to get any points.âÂ
You leaned into him too, allowing yourself to bask in the warmth he emitted, âYou were brilliant too Puppy! No one got hit by bludgers on your watch.âÂ
He turned to you, placing his hand on your waist, but you winced, and he looked at you with a shrug âDoes it still hurt?âÂ
You shook your head, not daring to open your mouth, and leaned in to kiss him instead. If it worked to distract him in the restricted section, Iâd work to distract him now. But Sirius was hungry today, the adrenaline of the game and the fact that you looked so fucking good in those quidditch pants, had him feeling all sorts of things, so when he kissed back, you could feel the neediness on the kiss.Â
And he, oblivious to your pain, dug his hands under your sweater and tightened his grip around your waist, pressing his fingers to your warm skin. That had you wince again and he separated from you, his hand still under your shirt.Â
âIt still hurts!â he said accusingly.Â
âSirius, Iâm fine,â you said, attempting to drag him back into the kiss, but he shook you off.Â
âIâm gonna lift your sweater, kay?âÂ
âNo, Iâmââ He did it anyway, only a little at first, but then a lot more when he realised.Â
ââSweetheart, look at this!â he said reproachfully. You looked down, wincing as you saw the various shades of purple and green your stomach had gotten.Â
âI guess thatâs why it hurtsâŚâ you muttered, with a little smile, trying to lighten the mood. Sirius just looked at you sternly. âFine then, just donât touch that area and thenââÂ
âWeâre going to Poppy.âÂ
âBut the celebration party.âÂ
âLook at me straight in the eyes and tell me it doesnât hurt.â You took a deep breath, looking at him and then averting his gaze, âThought so.âÂ
âI still wanted to make out,â you mumbled under your breath as you let him guide you toward the portrait, his hand neatly wrapped around yours.Â
âWe can make out all you want once Poppy has checked up on you,â he told you, turning back to give you a small wink.Â
âWhere you up to?â you heard Remusâ deep voice from the side.Â
âSirius insists on taking me to the infirmary.âÂ
âShe has a terrible bruise all over her stomach,â Sirius added what youâd left out.Â
How did he find out? Remus wondered until it dawned on him. Right, theyâre dating.Â
âItâs not that bad,â you tried to argue, but Sirius threw you another look.Â
âMind if I tag along?â He said walking beside the two of you âI need to restock some of my medicine.âÂ
Full moon must be soon, you thought âYou donât even have to ask Rem,â you said as you nodded for him to come along.Â

Hi can i request headcanons for how the reader and James get together and how the beginning of their relationship looks like? Like the honeymoon phase and all đ love your writing so much like itâs insane!!!! kisses
Thank u so much!!! Never thought anyone would like my writing and seeing this good feedback really encourages me to write more so kisses right back đŤśđŤś hope this is adequate!!
Honeymoon headcanons ~ J.F.P
⢠I imagine that james was the first one to confess. He approached you all blushy, adjusting his glasses n shit, he looked like an oversized golden retriever. Was probably really awkward asking u out too, and when you told him yes, he was stunned for a moment, before nodding dopily, then acting all nonchalant and proud and sauntering off to the marauders, but u can literally see him from afar with the widest grin explaining to then what happened. If bro had a tail it would DEFINITELY be wagging.
⢠as Ive previously mentioned, I think James has no shame in physical touch. The first time you two sleep in the same bed, he tries to hold back, because he read that cuddling is usually done later into a relationship, but poor boy canât help it. Within minutes Heâs got a strong arm around your middle, and tucks you into his chest like youâre a teddy bear. Good luck if you need the bathroom because once James is asleep thereâs NO WAY youâre getting back up.
⢠favourite ways to cuddle are if youâre on his chest, under his arm, or if heâs sprawled ontop of you like an obnoxiously large blanket.
⢠gets really flustered if you touch his hair or fix his glasses, and when Sirius and Remus tease him about it, (which they 100% will), he canât even hear them. Heâs just gazing at u like you hung the moon, because in his eyes, you did <3
⢠ALWAYS touching you. Literally ALWAYS. I hc James is pretty chill and not too jealous, but he does like it when you wear his quidditch jersey because it makes him feel good that people know who owns ur heart. Has DEFINITELY lost a good few games just gawking at you with his jumper on. âProngs, mate, you made us lose AGAIN!â Sirius would groan, to which James would respond âIâm sorry, pads! Sheâs just- look at her!!!â With flushed cheeks and wide eyes. Sirius has to forgive him because his best friend has never been happier.

Okay, so weâve talked about how Siriusâs death was sort of stupid (and weirdly humiliating/like a punishment to Sirius?), but obviously, it was meant to leave the door open so he could come back if the author changed her mind. Part of me wonders if she made wrote Regulusâs/R.A.B.âs story with the crumb of an idea that Sirius might come back and have to deal with that.
SO! If Sirius DID return from the Veil, when do you think he should/would have come back? (And would he have come back wrong???)
Well, not to shamelessly self-promote myself, but I think he comes back years after the end of DH and becomes a grandfather to Harry's kids and falls in love with Kingsley: Dead Man Walking. Or Remus and Harry refuse to believe he's dead and literally pull him out of the Veil and he goes on to fall in love with Remus and be a dad to Harry and Teddy: let our candle always burn.
But seriously, I think there are SO MANY WAYS he could come back. I really do think JKR was leaving it open to bring him back, and then didn't because doing so would have ruined her direction for books 6 and 7. Sirius was too smart! He would have figured it all out and rendered the books moot! I hate, hate that line in the OOTP movie where Luna says something about how things we lose always return to us. Why have that line and not bring back Sirius??
I think Harry and/or Remus could get really into dark magic and resurrect him, but bring him back wrong. I think the Veil could spit him out as soon as the final battle ends - maybe it takes a life for a life, so once Bellatrix dies, Sirius comes back. Maybe James forcibly pushes him back into the land of the living - he refuses to let both of them abandon Harry. Maybe Harry runs into Sirius at that train station in the afterlife (or limbo?) in DH, not Dumbledore, and brings him back. Who knows! JKR's world-building is so wishy-washy and inconsistent that literally anything is possible.
I really love your idea of him coming back after the RAB revelation and having to deal with that fallout, too. Ugh, delicious angst!
I'm sorry not to have a solid answer for you, but that's because I can see it happening a million different ways, and I want to read about it happening a million different ways. I could read 10,000 Bring Back Black fics and never get tired of them.
I do think people should bring him back wrong more often, though.

it wasnât implied? | remus lupin
pairing: remus lupin x reader
genre: fluff, pining, maybe angstÂż?, miscommunications, secret confessions, not proofread
wc: 4.2k
originally posted on wattpad
"i saw you," sirius said lowly, smirking, "you two think you're so sly but i see everything."
"i don't know what you're talking about."
"sure, you don't," he remarked with a roll of his eyes, "you never know what i'm talking about, not when i told you that your crush on remus was obvious, not when i tell you that remus fancies you back and definitely not when i saw âwith my very own two eyesâ you kissing."
"just be careful doll, i've been there before," he told her softly, making her glance at him. "you've been there before?" she repeated testingly, not understanding what sirius meant. "i was once remus when i was younger."
"where should we go next?" peter asked excitedly, holding onto the teddy sirius had won for him for dear life.
it was a hogsmeade weekend, the marauders had decided that it was a bright idea to sneak off to an amusement park. the sun was setting, a pretty mix of pink and blues with hint of gold within it. they stood in the middle of the park, pulling at their coat tightly to keep themselves warm whilst james suffered in a corner.
"definitely not the roller coaster again," said lily wearily, eyeing james from where she stood as he hunched over a garbage can with remus and sirius to his side. "anything but the roller coaster again."
"i'm pretty sure they're done with it," she said kindly, watching as remus rubbed james' back in a soothing manner, "we've been on it four times now, i don't think they'd like to go on it for any longer."
"hopefully, you're right," lily muttered under her breath as the group of boys returned.
james looked up, smiling charmingly. "what's next?"
"i wanted to go on the ferris wheel," said sirius off-handedly, his hands digging into his pocket to keep itself away from the cold, "the sunset's nice."
"okay," lily agreed; nodding her head as she approached james' side, lily looped her arm around his and began leading the way when she realized that two of their friends were missing. turning around, lily spotted the pair conversing between themselves. "guys?"
"yes?" remus looked up, finally noticing that their friends were ten steps away and blushed. "sorry."
lily only smiled, giving him a pointed look and glanced down slightly. "is she cold?"
"very," she answered, voice muffled as her head was pressed against remus' torso, holding onto him tightly. "remus is very warm."
"of course, he is. the man's a human furnace," sirius said, almost frowning, "now, c'mon i want to see prongs throw up again."
"that's disgusting," she whispered just loud enough for remus to hear, moving her head slightly to look up at him.
"it's pads, what'd you expect?" he asked in return, smiling fondly at her.
she scrunched her nose in disgust, accidentally picturing james going through hell once more at sirius expense. "less suffering for the man who's already legally blind?"
remus laughed at that, making sirius groan even more. "would you stop flirting please?" sirius whined dramatically, "seriously princess, are we going to get an apology here?"
pulling away from remus completely, she stood besides him and assessed their friends.
"sorry, i made you wait because i was cold," she started slowly, feeling as though she was a kid waking up her parents to tell them she'd done something bad. sirius tutted, pulling out his wand and casted a warming charm on her. "can we go ride the ferris wheel now?"
"of course, we can," sirius said brightly, all signs of his previous sour mood disappearing.
sirius led the way this time, bantering with lily as remus and [name] walked slightly behind. shoulders brushing against one another as they listened into their friends arguing.
somewhere between where they started to the waiting line, remus had managed to slip his hand into her's intertwining them together.
she looked up at him, surprised ânot to mention, extremely flustered, and smiled. an action that remus reciprocated along with a comforting squeeze of her hand.
james, lily, sirius, and peter took a car of their own. insisting that remus was too tall (as if it made any sense) to fit into their carriage so it would be better to have her accompany him as to not have him be lonely. all four completely oblivious to just how obvious their match making attempt was.
"this is nice," remus commented absentmindedly, looking over his shoulder, "it's so pretty up here."
"it is," she concurred, eyes kept on remus. tinge of pink and blue with the slightest hint of purple, painted his face, green eyes shining brightly. "they're taking pictures of us."
remus turned abruptly, concern written all over his face, "what?"
"them." she pointed upwards, remus eyed her direction and found their friends in the other car grinning and waving at them.
lily had her polaroid camera in her hand, it pointing at them. she gestured her over, shouting about how she couldn't fit her into the frame unless she sat besides remus. she followed her request, moving to sit by his side and looked up at them.
their was a flash, lily took the first polaroid out and handed it to james who was besides her. "smile!" she shouted before adding, "move closer, [name]! you're too far away!"
again, she did what she was told, scooting over and rested her head on remus' shoulder, smiling up at lily. remus laid his head on top of hers, beaming at the camera as well. lily counted from three and the flash went, sitting back down when she was satisfied with its result.
remus hand found hers once more, holding onto it firmly. "i think i might fall asleep."
"go ahead," she said lightly, "i've been working on my levitation spell, i can get you back to hogwarts safely."
remus lifted his head up so he could look at her properly. "as much as i am honored to the first person you murder, i'm really not looking forward to dying so soon."
she moved away from his shoulder, gaping at him with mock offense. "you underestimate me, mister lupin."
"and i've always been correct with my underestimations."
"that's not a kind way to talk to your best friend."
"actually i can talk to my best friend however i want," he said matter-of-factly, "that's kind of the point of being best friends with someone, being able to act however you want."
"you know what," she said, scooting away from him, "i don't want to be near you anymore."
"is that so?" he taunted, pulling at her hand.
"it is."
"i don't believe you." he leaned forward, pushing at her buttons. the full moon was near, which meant remus' senses had been heightened, making the both of them fully aware of just how fast her heart was beating. "i really don't believe you."
within seconds his lips are on hers, closing the gap between him and her without any hesitation. the line of whether their relationship was platonic or romantic, now crossed. remus tilted his head, leaning down to help her from straining her neck. the kiss was innocent, pulling to a stop when they were ushered out of their car by their friends.
remus cheeks were red when he left the carriage, blaming it on the cold wind. james had swept remus into a conversation about the prosperity of churros when remus took her hand again, holding onto it as he amused james with questions.
sirius was walking besides her, hands tuck in his leather jacket. he nudged her lightly âan action that almost knocked her off of her feet if it weren't for remus catching her. remus scolded sirius quickly before turning to check on her, after being satisfied with her answer he turned back to james.
"i saw you," sirius said lowly, smirking, "you two think you're so sly but i see everything."
"i don't know what you're talking about."
"sure, you don't," he remarked with a roll of his eyes, "you never know what i'm talking about, not when i told you that your crush on remus was obvious, not when i tell you that remus fancies you back and definitely not when i saw âwith my very own two eyesâ you kissing."
"just be careful doll, i've been there before," he told her softly, making her glance at him. "you've been there before?" she repeated testingly, not understanding what sirius meant. "i was once remus when i was younger."
"sirius, you're seventeen stop talking like you're in your eighties," she said exasperatedly, "and i'm really confuse right now. what the fuck do you mean you were once remus, were you once tall and cute or something?"
sirius made a face, one of offense and irritation with the slightest tint of hurt. "are you calling me short and ugly? you wound me, sweetheart."
"i'm not calling you short, sirius. it's just that i don't have the crippling fear that you would suddenly lick my head when i'm near you."
"tall people don't do that," sirius frowned, "do they?
"i wouldn't know," she shrugged.
"anyways."Â sirius dragged out, moving back to the topic at hand. "what i'm trying to say is that i've put someone in the same situation as you and moony right now. it doesn't end well, [name]."
"it's really confusing âand if i'm being completely honest here, i feel guilty for everything that happened," he confessed quietly, "i made it complicated. when it could've been so easy.
"so . . ." sirius trailed off, watching her with patient grey eyes, "talk to him. make sure you know where the two of you stand before everything goes wrong."
sirius gave her one last reassuring smile before he tuned into their friends discussion on churros. remus let out a laugh at one of james' comment, a pretty smile on his lips that may or may not have pulled at her heart string.
fuck remus, where did she stand?
â˘â˘â˘
sirius was laying on the couch, james sitting on the floor besides him along with peter while remus sat on the armchair when lily and her found them in the gryffindor's common room. there was a girl, hunched over the coffee table, a small notebook in hand talking to james and sirius as she wrote down whatever she found important.
she must've felt her presence, looking up at them with a small smile. "dorcas, we had care of magical creatures together in third year."
she replied with her name, smiling as well. "what were you three talking about?"
"a project," she said enthusiastically.
lily sat down besides james, and patted the empty spot to her left for her to take. she was about to take a seat beside lily when something tugged at her hand, she turned, following the direction of her distraction and found remus smiling at her, his hand holding onto hers.
"sit with me." she was hesitant, not knowing where she was supposed to go when the chair was so small. remus must've noticed, pulling her directly into his lap and wrapped an arm around her waist, securing her in her spot.
dorcas didn't even bat an eyelash when she continued on, "would you like to hear about it?"
"sure."
dorcas began her explanation with a clap of her hands. "so i've been reading a new romance novel and in it there's this muggle newspapers thing where people can mail something they wanted to say to someone they loved or cared for, whether romantically or platonically, it was called the W.L.U segment âstanding for words left unsaid."
"i thought it was cool so i asked dumbledore if i could somehow pull an event together and he said no but i'm known to be quite annoying so i used that to my advantage and eventually he agreed."
"so." she clapped her hands together. "on march, thirteen, the fifth floor corridor will be plastered by sticky notes with hand written words on them for each person that is submitted to. it is by first name only and there would be a spell to prevent you from actually recognizing who's ever hand writing it is, so everything will be anonymous."
she had many questions, unsure how everything will work out like dorcas planned it out to. there was thousands of students at hogwarts, how can she fit them all in the corridors (even if the name were to overlap), how will the letters be submitted if it was anonymous, and most importantly âhow will filch's cat resist the urge to claw off all the notes?
instead she settled on asking, "march thirteen?"
"it's when my dad first met my mother," she said with small smile, "under a clementine tree."
"can everyone just submit anonymously?" peter asked, intrigued.
"that's pretty much the whole idea, no one would know who said what. we're giving out special notes that would magick itself out of your life the second you've finished writing and it would be added to the wall. the notes will be owled out to everyone, because if you saw someone trying to get the notes you'll be suspicious of them, ya know?"
and then she added, "the identities would be unknown unless you sign it off with your full name, or initials for whoever it is you wrote it to, to guess. it's up to you really, if you want your identity to be known then you make it known."
"are you sure it will stay anonymous?" he followed up skeptically.
"cross my heart. not even the ones preparing this project would know."
���â˘â˘
march came fast, so did remus' birthday âan event that had left her more confuse then she was before hand. the marauders had threw him a surprise party, one she attended in high spirits.
around midnight, marlene had dragged her into a circle where their friends was waiting for her. "we're playing truth or dare," she had told her.
the first few rounds was fun for the most part, her having done stupid dares that had spilled out of peter's drunken lips (the gryffindor is the funniest when he's absolutely wasted).
remus' birthday cake sat in the center of the circle, everyone enjoying their slices while they played the game. remus picked dare for the third time, keeping up with the courageous gryffindor spirit.
dorcas perked up at this, getting her word in before anyone else could. "i dare you to kiss the person you find most beautiful in this room."
sirius had pouted his lips out for him only to be blatantly ignored by remus. the room was âmore or lessâ unphased when remus had made his way over to [name], cupping her face and kissed her.
soft and quick.
when he pulled away, he made his way back to his seat and acted like nothing had happened.
dorcas nudged her from her right, giggling slightly as she spoke, "i knew he would kiss you."
then the question she tried so desperately to forget resurfaces. what were they? where did she stand?
the next day comes and dumbledore introduced the project at dinner, letting dorcas up on the podium which she spoke at proudly, informing everyone of her plans and answering any questions they had.
the notes arrived the next morning, students walked around chatting about who they planned to write to and by dinner time half of the castle had written and sent off their first notes.
march, thirteen came and she was rudely awakened by dorcas and sirius pounding at her door, announcing that the project has been opened for viewing and that they needed to see it as soon as possible.
she quickly got dressed and followed them into the common room. stood by the entrance was the rest of their friend group, all looking tired out of their mind.
james led the way towards the fifth floor, the corridors walls littered with notes, all belonging to a group of names in alphabetical order.
their group went through the names one by one, being nosy when there seemed to be some sort of drama in the mysterious notes. some of the notes were on the sweet side, some malicious.
james was a common name but they were âluckily enoughâ able to identify which one was their james based off of how some referred him as 'the quidditch king' or 'james, potter, james potter' or the last (and definitely sirius' favorite way of identifying james out of them all) was 'james, the four eyed one.'
there was various love confessions, some cussing him for not giving them a position on the gryffindor's quidditch team, and some compliments about how much they wanted to run their hands through his beautiful, beautiful hair.
"you smell."Â sirius read out loud, ignoring the tiny :) that was drawn on the note to laugh at james' face. "i think that's for you, prongs."
"shut up, pads. you smell like wet dog."
then was the letter R standing tall above the name remus. on the wall stuck countless amount of notes, all confessing just how pretty they thought remus was. his pretty eyes, his pretty nose, his pretty lips and how much they wanted to kiss it and his stupidly pretty hands.
"good god moony, what spell have you put hogwarts under," james said slightly horrified, his eyes gluing to each notes that stuck under the name remus, "what have you done?"
"i haven't done anything," remus replied, his tone defensive, "and we can't be sure this is about me, i'm not the only person named remus."
"yeah but you're the only person in this school with that name." dorcas pointed out, just as fascinated as the rest of them with the amount of letters he received.
something caught her attention, making her take a step forward so she could get a better look at it. dorcas turned to her friend, fingers pointed at a note written in blue paper. "this handwriting looks familiar."
she followed dorcas' hand, reading the note to herself. i'm so confuse, remus. where do i stand? am i your girlfriend or am i just a girl that's a friend?
below it was another note written with same handwriting. i shouldn't have let you kissed me the first time and i definitely shouldn't have let you done it the second since all it did was amplify how i feel for you.
sirius cleared his throat loudly, pulling their attention to him. "this is boring," he began, grey eyes firmly locked with her, "let's go read mine."
he pulled her away with a smile to the others, hoping that they'd follow without questioning. "you wrote it didn't you?"
"wrote what." she acted oblivious, standing before the wall filled with notes for the name sirius. he, like remus, was the only one with that name.
"those notes." he rolled his eyes, annoyed.
"isn't there supposed to be a spell to prevent people from knowing who wrote it?"
"there is," he concurred, "i actually don't know for sure. 's why i'm asking you. i don't recognize your hand writing but i know the situation mentioned like the back of my hands. i can only assume and i know they can too."
"so now everyone knows that i'm confused about what remus and i are?"
"pretty much," lily joined in, standing besides her. "god, sirius why is so many people angry at you?"
"why people are upset with me is not important right now," said sirius distractedly, "what's important is that moony read those notes âjust like we did, need i remind youâ and he still hasn't come to try and talk to you."
"maybe he doesn't know it's from meâ"
"remus is not a basket case, darling," cut in sirius. "he's being slow on purpose."
lily tsked. "men are stupid, [name]." she reminded, not sparing a second at the baffled look sirius threw her. "let's go read the ones with your name on it."
there was only so many notes for someone with her name, all littered with different colors and signed with their initials on it. she didn't know half of the possible initials but one specifically caught her eyes.
r.l
she hoped, despite knowing that she shouldn't, hoped that it was from him and that he had written it for her.
above the initials was the note itself, written in a set of neat handwritings that was so similar and yet so unidentifiable, it had her heart jumping to her throat.
i had hoped that one day i could shun you out of my mind but i cannot, not when you are the only thing running through it. not when the idea that you'd let me kiss you again is stuck in my mind. the same mind that hasn't stopped thinking about you before i even knew how much i liked you.
i can only hope you would forgive me for it. r.l
"you know," sirius said slowly, eyeing the note, "this whole confession thing would be so much easier if you just talked to each other."
"like you're the one to talk sirius," lily scoffed, "you wrote regulus a lengthy five note apology letter instead of just saying sorry."
sirius flushed at that, turning away from lily bashfully as he muttered under his breath about how she was no fun.
â˘â˘â˘
dinner came after classes as usual. dumbledore gave the podium once more to dorcas for her to express just how grateful she was that so many people participated in the project, welcoming feedbacks with open arms.
dorcas thanked james, lily, and sirius, respectfully giving them credit where it's due. dorcas was half way off the podium when her eyes widened comically, running back towards frantically. "just one more thing."
"if someone has said something to you and you're sure that it's meant for you from that special someone." dorcas looked at her pointedly, making her avert her eyes. "talk to them, work it out. that's all, goodnight."
dessert wasn't even able to make its appearance when she was hunted down by the marauders.
"i need to talk to you." remus took a step forward cautiously. "please?"
the five of them trudge towards the nearest empty room, the other three boys leaving to give them privacy. "so," she drawled, "what did you want to talk about?"
"why did you ask me if you were my girlfriend?" he asked directly, not seeing the point of beating around the bush.
"isn't it self explanatory?"
"no, it's not actually," said remus, annoyance etching into his tone, "would you care to explain why you said so?"
"i said it so because, i wasn't sure if i was."
"you weren't sure if you were my girlfriend?" remus scoffed, narrowing his eyes incredulously, "then what were you?"
"i dunno," she said lowly, feeling stupid that this conversation was even happening in the first place, "it's what i'm trying to find out."
"okay wait." remus took in a deep breath, his hand in a pausing motion. "so for the last three months, i thought that you were my girlfriend while you thought i was just some friend who goes around kissing people?"
"that's notâ"
"it's not? because, it seems to me like you thought so."
"well it's not my fault you never made it clear!"
"and it's not my fault you never asked," he argued, "because, if you did âfor even just once, we wouldn't be fighting right now."
she stared at him in silence, feeling speechless. "i'm so confuse."
"you're confuse?" he asked, almost taunting, "i'm fucking confuse. i've been thinking that you were my girlfriend since i kissed you in that goddamn ferris wheel."
"you thought we've been dating for three months?"
"yes," he said with a nod, "since we went on that ferris wheel and i kissed you. you didn't pull away, you kissed me back so i thought the feelings were mutual but apparently not."
"so that night," she murmured slowly, "your birthday." she clarified. "you kissed me because you were my 'boyfriend' and not because you were drunk."
"i kissed you because, you truly were the most beautiful person in that room," remus sighed, "why would you even think otherwise?"
"i don't knowâ" she paused, feeling pathetic, "it's just something sirius said after we kissed, it got me thinkingâ"
"of course, it's fucking sirius," remus cut in, laughing dryly, "the lad makes one relationship mistake and thinks he's qualified to go off and give advice. look where that got us now."
they could hear a scowl from outside the room before a smack landed, a loud ow! and a shut up you twat, you messed this up once already following in its wake.
"nowhere bad," she said, defending sirius slightly, "he actually told me to talk to you but i didn't so it's technically my fault."
"it's not your fault, [name]." remus frowned. "this could never be your fault. i kissed you not once but twice and never bothered to talk to you about it. it was stupid of me to think it was mutual."
"but it was, remus," she told him, "the kiss. everything. it was all mutual. i justâ i didn't know that i was your girlfriend."
"then i must be one shitty boyfriend," he snickered, chewing on his bottom lip.
"will you just shut up and kiss me?" she took a step towards him. "as my boyfriend this time."
remus met her in the middle, smiling shyly. "how could i ever say no to you."

Coffee Talk
MASTERLIST
Remus Lupin x reader
Warnings: Pure fluff, a bit of kissing and probs a bit of bad grammar.
06.26 AM
Dark clouds painted the sky, winter snow littered the ground outside, the freezing air was kept outside by the strong facade of the Potter Mansion. WInter break was coming to an end soon, as would her invitation to the Potter's, and as much as she missed the castle, the end of the mini vacation to James's with all their friend group for break was something she didn't want to end soon, or ever truthfully.
Y/m laid restless on her makeshift made on the guest room that was the designated "girl room", even though she shared a dorm with these lovely girls, they where incredibly more annoying during any kind of break, Marlene's snores where getting louder by the second, Mary kept talking in her sleep, Lily was way to clingy (they had to share a bed, because Lily agreed to come [begrudgingly] at the last minute).
With no room to breathe and uncomfortable, y/n got up, grabbed a blanket and with no care of being quiet left the room, these girls deserved to be disrupted, they deserved to be bothered, but alas, they where still fast sleep.
It was way to early too be up he sky was still awfully dark, she should be sleeping under a huge comfoter with her teddy and fuzzy socks, sadly she found herself laying on the couch with only a blanket to protect her from the freezing cold of the Potter's living room.
06:57 AM
A crack on the floor woke y/n up, she hadn't even realized she fell sleep, startled she sat up and cursed herself for not bringing her wand along, adjusting her eyes to find out whose face it was in the dark, it spoke.
âShit! Merlin, you scared meâ Remus Lupin himself was the face she couldnât see, what a shame she thought, he has a gorgeous face.
âI know Iâm not the best looking sleeper, but I donât think I can get scaryâ her lame joke earned a small laugh from him. Worth it.
âYou know I didnât mean it like thatâ his voice was raspy, she figured it was from sleeping. âWhat are you doing here anyways? Why are we sleeping on the couch?â
âCould ask the same thingâ She replied, âThe girls are giving me hell, I have no idea how I can keep up with âem all year, what about you?â
He gave her a smile, the one that makes his dimples noticeable and the scar on his nose widen, the one that makes girls like her swoon at the sight of it, the one that he usually keeps hidden, the one that he secretly reserves for her.
âSame thing, the boys are incredibly annoying, god knows Iâve put up with them for five whole years, I need a break, plus, Jamesâs room is way too cluttered for four guys to be able to sleep in.â
She hummed in response, âsit down, donât just stand there by the doorway, itâs creepyâ
Remus blushed he didnât even realized that he was standing there so tense, he suddenly felt utterly aware of himself, of his tight pijama pants that were way too short on him, of his old shirt with holes in it that he was way to attached to to throw out, of his tussled hair, of the exposed skin littered with scars, he was in pajamas in front of her. Sure she was too, but she looked great, like always.
"Mmm, you scared the sleepiness out of me... What about an early breakfast?"
Honestly she was still pretty tired, but it has been a while since they could share a moment alone, ever simce they've left hogwarts the whole group has been glued together, it has been hard to have one on one conversations, not that she needed to, but there was something brewing inside of her anytime she talked with Remus alone, they both felt it, she was sure, but neither made the move.
"Sure, I really need a coffee" She said making her way into the kitchen.
"I'm more of a tea kind of guy, but I'll join you with a cup." He tried to make it sound non chalantly, but he really despised coffee, he only drank it when she was around, ever since that time in third year he obliged to grab a cup with her because he lied and told her he loved it to impress her.
Comfortable silence fell upon them as they made coffee, shuffling around the kitchen trying to be quiet, smal huffs and giggles filled the now warm kitchen, y/n couldn't help but smile anytime she looks at him, he was the most beautiful man on earth.
"Wat'cha looking at" He said grinning like a devil.
"You"
"Me? What's so interesting about me?"
"Stop messing with me, Remus, you know." Hopefully her cheeks would not be as red as they felt.
"Know what?." he was getting cheeky, she diverted her eyes from his face, suddenly the cup of coffee was the most intersting thng in the world.
"C'mon, look at me," He said as he tilted her chin upwards to look at him. Merlin he was tall. "Don't get shy on me all of a sudden, What's wrong?"
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?" it was a stupid question, she hoped that the answer was what she wanted, still, weird thing to ask.
He laughed "What? Why? Why do you care?"
"I asked first, like, really, how come the cutest guy in all of hogwarts is still single?"
because all I've ever wanted was you, he wanted to yell.
"I don't know, I don't really care for it" he lied, "Why don't you have a boyfriend, I've heard about guys interested in you" he tried to play his bitterness for friendly banter, he wasn't sure it worked.
She hummed "Well none of them are my type, y'know"
She looked at him in a way that would've made Remus's knees buckle it he wasn't standing against the kitchen island.
"Well whats your type?" Sudden braveness.
"Well, there's this guy and he's exactly my type" she said in a such a dreamy way that made Remus want to die, jealousy filled his chest.
"yeah, he's so dreamy, and cute and pretty" she liked the way that made him mad, he's the smartest person she knows, but he's stil just a boy, a very dense one at that. "he loves to wears old wooly sweaters, he loves fantasy and children books but pretends to only read philosophy to seem more nuanced" she looked into his eyes and held his hands, he squeezed them. "He loves tea, but he pretends to like coffee to impress the girl he likes" she laughed as her hands moved from his hands to his chest and finally to his neck.
He put his shaky hand on her hips, "Kiss me"he pleaded. She happily obliged.
Her heart skipped a thousand beats and she was sure she passed out for a second. It was perfection, the way his hand squeezed her waist as he deepens the kiss, how he hummed in her mouth when she tugged at his sandy curls, hours could've gone by, they wouldn't have cared.
Sadly they had to breathe so she broke the kiss, nose to nose and holding each other, they locked eyes as they fall into a fit of laughter.
"Okay.... so... we're on the same page, I think" she said as the laughter broke down.
"Yeah, I think we are" he grabbed her hand. Y/n yawned "Oh Merlin, what time is it?"
The clock signals:
07:38 AM
"Still pretty early to be up" he says, the coffee long forgotten.
"Mmm, want to cuddle and make out in the couch 'til the others wake up" she said hugging his side.
"I'd like that very much" he said pulling her out of the kitchen and into the living room couch.
10:05 AM
"OH MERLIN MY EYES!!!" A familiar voice woke them up. "JAMES! MOONY AND Y/N HAVE DEFILED YOUR COUCH!"
"Don't be stupid, Sirius, you woke them up" Lily's nagging followed.
Y/n had made no attemp to get up, to hell with them, she was comfortable, her arms around Remus's neck and his around her waist, theur legs tangled with each other's, slowly morphing into one.
"My Lilyflower's right, pads" James said. "Let them sleep, god knows it's been long enough with the yearning and the crushes and the longing glances. And they're way too much of cowards to do anything in some else's place, our Moony is a proper gentleman."
Remus flushed,but tried to keep quiet, he didn't care their mates were mocking them, all he cared about was his girl and his girl was cuddled up against him.
With a last kiss (momentarily), they dozed off again.

Leather and Cinnamon | Wolfstar Bingo
It's that time of the year again! The @wolfstarbingo2024 is here.
I'm supposed to be working hard on my Big Bang fic so naturally I instead spent the whole day writing 13k words of... well, this.
I've had this idea for a long time and I think I started it over a year ago, but now I finally found the inspiration to finish it (while also crossing off one of my prompts). So here it is.
Title: Leather and Cinnamon Pairing: Wolfstar Rating: E WC: 13.2k Prompt: One night stand Summary: Remus hasn't got laid in a while, but that's okay. That's fine. He's been busy raising a son, thank you very much.
Now, however, Teddy is off to university and when Remus goes to Brighton to drop him off, they stumble over a coffee shop in the south lanes. It's a cosy little place with a barista who has silver eyes and pale skin and an arse to die for.
Remus hasn't got laid in a while, but that's okay. That's fine.
Read on AO3.
Snippet below the cut:
âIâll order,â Teddy said as they entered the coffee shop, nodding towards a table by the window. âYou can take a seat.â
âOh really?â Remus asked, a little amused. âYouâre paying too, then?â
âObviously not,â Teddy remarked casually. âIâm a poor student, remember?â
âSometimes I think you just spend time with me for my wallet.â Remus sighed wistfully but Teddy merely grinned at him, snapping his fingers.
âMoney, please.â
âMaybe I want to order,â Remus said, but Teddy was already snatching the note from his fingers.
âPlease,â Teddy scoffed. âLike Iâd trust you with my order.â
Remus looked fondly as his son sauntered off towards the bar, unable not to smile to himself. He honestly couldnât get his head around the fact that he had an 18-year-old son who was now heading off to university all on his own.
It had felt bittersweet, packing up Teddyâs boyhood room. He knew the day would come eventually, and even though he was excited for his son, he couldnât help but feel a bit sad as well. They had driven down to Brighton together, their old little car stuffed full of (almost) everything that Teddy would need for the coming few months.
They had spent the day getting his room in order before Remus decided it was time for him to head back home. Teddy had agreed to a coffee before he left though, and Remus was set on making the most of the time he had left with his son while he still had the chance.
The cafĂŠ they had picked was in the south Lanes and had a bright red door with rainbow flags decorating the windows. It was the name that had drawn Remus in though, Baskervilleâs Hound written in bold letters over the painting of a big, black dog.
The place itself was cosy enough, with paintings decorating the walls together with black and white photographs of Brighton and random people. The walls were painted in a dark blue colour and the furniture was all mismatched and clearly second hand, but still in good shape.
Teddy returned without drinks, pulling out the chair opposite Remus and slumping down on it, shrugging as Remus raised a questioning eyebrow at him.
âTheyâll bring it out,â he said, slouching back on his chair.
âAny chance you got a change on that twenty?â
âSorry.â Teddy grinned at him, pushing a hand through his longish hair, currently a bright orange. Remus had long since accepted that Teddy opted to change his hair colour as often as other people changed clothes, and he enjoyed seeing him explore. âConsider it a contribution towards your only childâs education.â
âAh, yes, never mind the 9K tuition fee,â Remus deadpanned. âItâs the change on the coffee thatâs going to make the real difference.â
âIâll need pocket money.â
The corner of Remusâ mouth twitched. âYou need money for beer, you mean.â
Teddy threw his arms out. âItâs uni life, Da.â
Remus snorted just as the barista approached the table, clearing his throat.
âA latte with a dash of cinnamon andâŚwhatever this monstrosity is,â the barista said, and Remus tore his gaze away from his son to the man standing next to their table.
Remus found himself doing a double-take at the sight of him. He didnât know why heâd expected a student, but this man looked to be roughly his age. He was tall, muscular, with tattooed arms and wearing a simple white tee-shirt underneath a light apron with a large black dog printed on the front of it.
There was the hint of a stubble over his very chiselled jaw, high cheekbones and long, black hair pulled back in a ponytail. It was his eyes, however, that caught Remusâ attention. They were a light sort of grey that reminded Remus of silver, seemingly drawing in the light around them. They were dancing with something that looked like amusement as Teddy sat up excitedly.
âThatâs mine,â Teddy said eagerly, reaching for the tall glass topped with a hefty dollop of whipped cream. âCheers, mate.â
âI take it youâre the sensible one then,â the man said, the corner of his mouth twitching as he turned his gaze on Remus, placing the mug in front of him with a little wink. âEnjoy.â
Remus couldnât help staring as the man walked away, gaze taking in the dark jeans and heavy boots.
âEarth to Da!â
Teddyâs voice pulled him out of his thoughts and he flinched, accidentally burning his hand as his coffee sloshed over the rim of the mug.
âFuck,â he hissed, grabbing a napkin to wipe up his spill and when he looked back up, Teddy was watching him with a mischievous sort of twinkle in his eyes.
âYou alright?â
âYeah,â Remus replied quickly, clearing his throat as his voice came out weirdly rough. âFine.â
âI said, are you coming down with Ma next week?â
âOh,â Remus said, taking a sip from his coffee to distract himself momentarily. âDunno, mate. Dâyou want me to?â
âYou donât have to,â Teddy shrugged. âItâs just cause she couldnât be here this weekend.â
âRight,â Remus nodded. âIâll be there if you want me to.â
Teddy waved it off, pulling his phone out of his pocket as it made a chirping noise.
âDonât worry about it,â he said, eyes on the display as he quickly tapped out a message. âAoife says thereâs a group heading to the pub tonight.â
âThat sounds like fun,â replied Remus as his gaze darted over to the bar, just briefly, catching on the man who was wiping down glasses and humming to himself, the muscles in his arms flexing. âYou should go with them, make some friends.â
He only tore his gaze away from the man as he heard Teddyâs snort, and his son was watching him with an unimpressed sort of expression.
âWhat?â
âMake some friends?â he echoed, pulling a face. âItâs not pre-school, Da. Itâs uni.â
âWhat?â asked Remus, a little affronted. âYou donât make friends at university?â
âNo,â Teddy said assuredly. âYou justâŚget to know people. Hang out.â
âRight,â Remus said, giving a solemn nod. âMy bad. You should go with them and hang out then.â
Teddy rolled his eyes and huffed out a breath before he turned his attention back to his phone, and Remus pressed his lips together so that he wouldnât smile. His eyes darted briefly back towards the bar, where the man was now stacking mugs.
It would be in Brighton where a random barista looked like heâd stepped right out of one of Remusâ wet dreams. He looked exactly like the type Remus would have been madly in love with when he was younger, and, it turned out, his taste hadnât changed that much since then.
Remus hadnât dated much in the past few years as Teddy was growing up. It wasnât that it had been impossible, Dora had managed to move on just fine after their amicable split, and her dating life had never affected Teddy badly, he just hadnât prioritised it. Ever since Teddy had moved in with him full-time when he was fifteen, Remus put his own dating life on a shelf.
Dora had told him he was being ridiculous, that Teddy was more than capable of handling his dad dating, and Teddy had even told him so himself. Heâd even encouraged Remus to get out there, claiming that it would do him good to get laid. It wasnât a lie, Remus knew that, but he had simply prioritised raising his son over hookups.
He knew it would be different now though, with Teddy off to university and Remus alone in their house. They had been joking about it, and Remus was happy that Teddy was starting his own life as a young adult, but he couldnât deny that it would be strange.
He and Dora had been so young when they became parents. She had still been at university, and he had only just completed his Bachelor's Degree. Heâd been a parent for all of his 20s and almost all of his 30s, it felt wild thinking that he was approaching his 40s with more independence than heâd had in a long while.
âRight, I gotta go,â Teddy said suddenly, his voice yanking Remus out of his thoughts. âSorry, Da.â
Remus shook his head, smiling a little as he stood. âDonât worry about it. Time for me to head back home anyway.â
Teddy nodded, watching him for a moment, his blue eyes searching over Remusâ face and he looked so serious suddenly.
âAre you sure that youâll be okay?â
âShouldnât I be asking you that?â
Remus couldnât help but smile a little at the troubled look on his sonâs face, the half-grimace as he gave a brief shrug.
âIâll be fine, Da.â
âSo will I,â Remus replied, smiling a little as he pulled his son close for a hug. âDonât worry about me.â
âCanât help it,â Teddy muttered against the crook of his neck before Remus released him. âI worry about you all alone in that house.â
âI think Iâll manage,â Remus said as he clasped a hand on his sonâs shoulder. âI used to have a life before you, yâknow.â
âBarely,â Teddy replied with a snort, the corner of the boyâs mouth quirking upwards as Remus swatted lightly at him.
âOi, donât get cheeky.â
Teddy laughed, seemingly unfazed as he leaned a little closer, stage-whispering, âYou could always stay and chat up the barista, eh? I can see you ogling him.â
Remus had a horrible feeling as he was blushing as Teddy threw a meaningful look towards the man behind the counter and waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

fic recs of the month
This is just a collection of my fic recs for the month of march, have fun <3
The Lab
by @de-sire-blog (de_sire) on Ao3
âI donât get it,â Sirius says truthfully. âRemus is such a nice person, why does everyone pretend like heâs some kind of wicked stepmother?â
James laughs joyfully and winks at Sirius. âAre we even talking about the same person?â He holds out his hand above his head. âBig guy, about this tall, curly hair? Temper like a sleeping dragon? Smart, but a bit full of himself? Can kill you with his eyes?â
Sirius raises his eyebrows and laughs as well. âNo, I donât think we are talking about the same person at all.â Â
A love story about healing, new beginnings and growing up. Academia! Romance! Shared cigarettes, cute cats, lots of coffee and the most amorous business trip you have ever seen.
the hare and the hound
by @steelycunt (aeridi0nis) on Ao3
âHeâll never have to do it again, Remus realises. He can just keep being good, if he just behaves, heâll never have to do it again, never with the dark and the bleeding and the crying. He just canât give them reason to be angry at him, and he wonât, he hasnât. And his mum is right â the drink does make him feel a little better.â
or:
Remus is a terribly behaved five-year-old. He doesnât really think so himself, but his parents lock him in the cellar every month, so he must be doing something to deserve it. Well, not anymore. Heâs got a plan, see, sort of. Heâll never go downstairs again.
Dusk
by @theresthesnitch on Ao3
âThatâs not fair.â Sirius was crying now, and Remus swiped his tears away with his thumb. âThis isnât fair. We havenât had enough time. Itâs not fair.âÂ
âI know, love.â Remus leaned in for a kiss, and wondered if it would be the last. âI have loved you for sixty-two years, and itâs nowhere near enough.âÂ
Or
Sirius loses his memories.
Lupine
by @wolfstarbuxks (BayleyWinchester) on Ao3
Lupine adjective lu¡pine | \ ËlĂź-ËpÄŤn \ Definition of lupine : WOLFISH
Teddy is Remus' everything in life. He'd do anything for his son - including going to the same zoo, twice a week for a year so that his son could see the wolves that he had fallen in love with.
And if that meant that Remus got to met a sexy zookeeper, who was he to complain?
CONSTANT VIGILANCE and COMMON SENSE
by darkbluedark on Ao3
In which Alastor not-yet-"Mad-Eye"-but-still-quite-Mad Moody does as Alastor "Just Mad" Moody does, and brings a sneakoscope to an Order meeting.
~The kind of fix-it that makes so much sense that the fact that it isn't canon should be considered a plot hole in itself~
A Brief History of Dragons
by @eyra on Ao3
It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea.
Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.
The Phoenix Agency
by LupinsChocolatePraline on Ao3
Sirius Black is excited to start his first full-time job after Uni, but this life change doesnât sit well with his boyfriend who is difficult to live with on a good day, abusive on all other days. Sirius is good at pretending that everything is alright, he can even convince himself, but sometimes he wishes things were different. The problem is â Fabian is all Sirius has. Or so they both think.
Remus Lupin is a senior copywriter at an advertising agency, currently single by choice, and very comfortable with his unchanging daily routine, his familiar colleagues and his company-issued ergonomic chair thatâs been his for three years now. When his favourite graphic designer is replaced by a twitchy, fresh-out-of-university Sirius Black, his peaceful routine takes an unexpected hit.
