Chase the Shadows [Chapter 1 Release]

by EnemyOfInnocence

"The war bonded them, yet Hermione denies her feelings exist. Denies him. Sirius knows she’s running. Good thing he likes a good game of chase."

Summary:

Hermione Granger finds it impossible to manage life as an orphan, a werewolf, and a student suffering the most unfortunate feelings for the professor who she’d fled upon returning to school. When Headmistress McGonagall asks him to help her teach Transfiguration for the upcoming year, he doesn’t hesitate to accept — even though he wants nothing to do with the position.

Ch.5.

All he knew was that Regulus was screaming.  It wasn’t a loud pitch scream or a thick guttural scream. It wasn’t loud either, Regulus probably subconsciously didn’t want his parents to find out. It was a muffled, tortured scream that seemed to claw out of his chest bringing out all his horrors. James grabbed onto Regulus’ shirt trying to wake him up but the moment his hand came into contact with Regulus' skin suddenly he was lurched out of his body into Regulus's mind, beside the cursed basin the former wished he never saw again. 

Or ch.7.

The couch was charred along with almost everything else in the room. The smell was stronger in the room. He realised why, a stagnant burnt shadow on the wall.  Lily Evans Potter had died in this room.  He honestly had no clue what to say. I'm sorry your wife died? She's gone to a better place? She probably misses you as much as you miss her?

What's your opinion on James potter in general? How do you think his relationship with harry would've been if he was alive? Like I personally think, it would be troubled once harry hits teenagehood, like they'd not get along that well. What's your take on this?

honestly, i feel like james was a pretty good person. we all know that snape purposely only showed one side of the story to harry, and that's where most of harry's apprehension of his dad came from. we hear from like everyone but snape i was way more of a rivalry than a bullying situation, so i think with harry and draco's dynamic he really wouldn't care.

honestly, i feel like we don't know what non traumatized harry looks like 😭 i feel like if he was brought up by james and lily, he'd be a mama's boy, but still be close with his dad. the way harry acts in canon as a teenager is because he's like violently traumatized, so i don't really think any "teenage angst" or whatever people call it really would hit him very hard.

thanks for the ask :)

Honey If I'm Not (29.335 words) by @brigid-faye

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

wizard AU, post first war

Summary:

A heartbroken Remus Lupin left London in the summer of 1981 and never looked back. A decade later, he's built a life for himself in Burlington, Vermont, surrounded by new friends and finally confident in his job as a counselor. It's a job he loves, even if it does involve regularly conjuring his patronus, and even if that patronus is still taking the shape of a certain canine. He's fine with it. It doesn't have to mean anything.

Until one day his path crosses with Sirius Black's and maybe it does mean something, after all.

AU - The first wizarding war ended with the Longbottoms' deaths rather than the Potters', James and Lily are alive and Sirius stayed out of Azkaban.

If You're Gonna (46.436 words) by BrigidFaye

Rating: Mature

Series: Part 2 of Honey If I'm Not/If You're Gonna

Summary:

1981 and all of its losses - the Longbottoms' deaths, Remus Lupin's disappearance - sent Sirius Black spinning, but ten years later, he finally believes he's doing alright. With the help of the Potters, he's emerged on the other side as a philanthropist and general do-gooder. He can even, thanks to therapy, manage a patronus for the first time in his life. Its lupine shape just means he's made peace with that particular bit of heartbreak, right?

But then on a trip to Burlington, VT, Sirius' path crosses with Remus' again, and maybe - just maybe - that patronus means something else.

This is Sirius's POV of "Honey If I'm Not".

Comment:

These two fics are now new favorites of mine! I absolutely loved Honey If I'm Not, reading about wolfstar reconnecting and falling for each other again, and all the pining and yearning and the hard conversations about their pasts, everything was already so good! And then I read If You're Gonna, which is the same story plus lots of extra added scenes from Sirius's POV and I'M IN LOVE with these fics now! I loved reading the same scenes from both POVs and also adored everything that got added in Sirius's POV, learning more about their pasts, the lunar magic, and just all the scenes with James and Lily and the ending absolutely stole my heart!! Such a wonderful fic series!

[chocolatementalityenemy]

help find this fic!

it was a desi james potter AU where james and lily both survived. harry was raised by james and lily and he had a bunch of other siblings. i think james was south indian because sambar was mentioned a lot.

i think it was a series with each entry covering one year at hogwarts

I've started writing again, and keep forgetting to post about it.

Harry Potter is unwanted, but he has plans to get out of his hopeless situation. When a mysterious letter brings his supposedly dead father back into his life, it changes everything. And nothing at all. Harry is dropped into a world where everyone has expectations and ideas about him and who he should be. With dangers lurking around every corner of his new school, and secrets to be uncovered, Harry will show them all that they were wrong to under estimate him.

i don't WANT to read smut right now

i WANT to read a passionate, poetic, jaw dropping, tears streaking down my face, heart wrenching, giggle inducing, feet kicking, cringy yet amazing, gorgeous story written by someone who apologizes for english not being their first language(they're the best writers ever) which has 4 chapters and then makes me scream because it hasnt been updated in months and the author is mia

[cerulane]

Tout le monde croit que le frère de Harry est le Survivant et Harry est envoyé à Azkaban sans raison. Les choses se compliquent quand l’Ordre du Phénix comprend son erreur.

Fanfic amusante à lire qui reprend quasiment tous les clichés du genre. C'est un petit plaisir coupable mais qui ne reste pas vraiment dans les mémoires

The first time Regulus kissed James they were rudely interrupted, by an annoying beeping sound.

Regulus did try to ignore the sound but he had to stop when James suddenly took his hands from Regulus’s waist and hid them behind his back.

“James what’s happening” Regulus looked behind James’s broad shoulders.

“Nothing” James answered shaking his head accompanied with the same annoying beeping sound.

Regulus raised his eyebrow and with one swift motion grabbed James’s arm. James looked at him defeated and quickly put his hand in front.

“It’s my watch, okay?” he answered looking a little embarrassed, “the sound is to let me know when my heart rate is too elevated when I work out” he continued red creeping up his cheeks.

“The heart rate..” Regulus mumbled while examining the watch on James’s wrist, playful smirk appearing in the place of his pursed lips full of confusion.

He quickly pecked James’s lips, slowly moved from his lips to his jaw, while glancing at the watch on his wrist start with the sound of beeping again.

Look of embarrassment, torture and excessive blushing were covering James’s face when Regulus looked at him and giggled. His giggle turned into a full blown, head thrown, beautiful laugh as the sound of the beeping from the watch became so loud and so quick it could surely be heard from down the hall.

James, his watch and his heartbeat were in serious trouble surrounded by the most beautiful sounds of Reggie’s laugh.

this is based on a twitter post screenshot (which I can find anymore) i saw like months ago but can’t stop thinking about cause it’s just so so cute

Tell me this isn't Harry posting about his parents and their 'bestfriend'

[mydeadgaywizards]

no thoughts just james potter convincing sirius, remus and peter to perform the mean girls version of jingle bell rock at the potter’s yearly christmas party

[thessynyx]

when regulus wakes up in the morning he stretches so intensely that he pushes James off the bed. every time. but it ends up being a blessing in disguise because he works as James’ alarm clock.

[plantsonplutoart]

Moonflower study dates! Because it’s possible to be both academic rivals and the best of friends 🌙🪷😌

James and Sirius are definitely sitting across the table drooling over them
