One of us - platonic!marauders x reader
summary: when the marauders find out you're an animagus, you're forced into the beginning of a friendship with them. wc: 1.2k+
With a piece of toast halfway through your mouth, actively listening to Evanâs story, the last thing youâd been expecting on a Monday morning was for Dumbledore to stand up for an announcement. âWill the following students please report to Professor McGonagallâs office.â The old wizard cleared his throat and Evan rolled his eyes, mockingly starting to list off the names of the marauders. âSirius Black,â You and Evan burst into a fit of giggles at the accuracy of his prediction, listening closely for the other studentsâ names. âJames Potter, Peter Pettigrew and,â Dumbledore paused, squinting his eyes at the slip of paper he was staring at as Evan mumbled âRemus Lupinâ.
âUh, Y/N L/N.â You felt all the blood drain away from your face and Evanâs jaw dropped from where he sat in front of you. You felt everyoneâs eyes turn towards you and furrowed your eyes in confusion. Evan widened his eyes at you, nodding his head towards the entrance of the Great Hall. You gestured at him with your hands, expressing how you had no idea what you'd done, and grabbed the rest of your toast, sticking it between your teeth as you gathered your bag, slinging it over your shoulder.
Turning around, you were surprised to find the three other students lingering in the doorway, waiting for you. You bit through your toast, catching the piece of bread in your hand as you sped up your footsteps, catching up to them. The gears in your head churned as you thought about every single rule you broke in your last seven years at Hogwarts. But why on earth would you be called to see the head of gryffindor house when you werenât even a gryffindor? You gasped, stopping in your tracks. The three boys in front of you spun around to look at you, a panicked look on your face. âOh, looks like someone knows what theyâre in trouble for.â Sirius teased in a sing song voice, a smirk making its way on his face.
âOh, can you tell us please! Because, weâre probably in trouble for the same thing, and we always get in trouble so it could be anything! And you, you never get in trouble.â You grimaced at Pettigrewâs little rant, debating whether you should tell them. You shook your head quickly, swallowing the lump in your throat, saying with an embarrassing squeak âI canât tell you.â Because being an unregistered animagus was not only breaking school rules, but breaking the law. And the only reason you would be called to Professor McGonagallâs office was because she too, was an animagus, and sheâd be the only Professor who would know how to deal with situations like these. You looked at the three boys in front of you, rushing past them. But if that was the case, why on earth would they be called into her office too?
You huffed, making the final turn to Professor McGonagallâs office. You put your fist up, ready to knock, but held yourself back. âHey,â You turned your head to look at the boy speaking to you, a gentle smile on his face. âDonât worry. If you were in real bad trouble, you wouldnât be called in with other people.â James nodded towards his two friends, mumbling âSpeaking from experience here.â You scoffed in amusement, unable to help the small smile on your face, finally knocking on the wooden door. The âCome in!â was instant. You gulped, smile instantly dropping.
The three of you entered the room in a single file line, sitting down on the four chairs lined up in front of the deputy headmistressâ desk. Professor McGonagall didnât look up at you until you were all settled, slamming a stack of papers down on the wooden surface of her desk. âWell,â She started with her familiar croak, adjusting her glasses on her nose. âThis isnât how I thought Iâd start my week, but whatâs life without surprises?â You laughed nervously at her words, but you could tell from her monotonous voice and serious facial expression that you were out of order.
âRecently, a few members of staff have heard students talking about how animals from the forbidden forest are getting comfortable and wandering on school grounds.â You sucked in a sharp breath, straightening your posture as you peeked at the three boys from the corner of your eye. They were glancing right back at you. âMore specifically, mentions of a stag, the grim, and a white tiger.â Professor McGonagall looked straight up at you. âMs. L/N the dog and stag may get away with it, and no one has even noticed the rat, but a white tiger? Students are claiming theyâve made the scientific discovery of the century because white tigers are apparently inhabitants of Scotland now. Scotland!!â
You felt heat rush to your face as she said those words, reaching up to take her glasses off and folding them in front of her. You smiled nervously, rearranging the the tie around your neck as you said âFrankly, Professor McGonagall, Iâm not quite sure I know what youâre talking about.â A noise of disagreement came from Sirius, who was wincing at your challenging tone. Professor McGonagall reached for her wand, and you barely had time to react before she was mumbling âRevelioâ under her breath. You felt your bones shift, the familiar warm feeling of your animagus form overtaking your body. You squealed, or rather roared, your thick, furry paws sending you leaping into the air as you quickly forced yourself to take shape of your human form again.
You stood awkwardly next to the chair youâd be sat on, patting your hands down on your hair to tame it and straightening out your shirt. Sounds of amazement came from the three marauders at your animagus state, watching as you calmly sat down, clearing your throat. âAlright then.â You muttered, tossing your hair over your shoulder. âYou need to sign these registration forms.â The four of you made sounds of exclamation, standing up in unison. âThatâs what I thought.â Professor McGonagall continued, a satisfied smile on tugging at her lips, âNow you four be careful. If I call you up here again, know that these forms will be waiting for you.â
You all made noises of agreement, speeding towards the door. You slammed the door open, taking a deep breath when you finally escaped Professor McGonagallâs wrath. You sighed, looking to where Remus Lupin leaned against the wall waiting for his friends. His eyebrows shot up in surprise at your dishevelled state. âMoons, youâll never guess!â Sirius brushed past you, ranting on to his friend about your transformation. âOh my goodness, be quiet!â You snapped, spinning on the balls of your feet to face him. Remus laughed, watching as James slung an arm over your shoulders, saying how you had to transform for them again, whilst Peter went on about how soft your white fur looked.
âYou know what this means donât you?â The tall boy called out, looking at how your shoulders became stiff and you tried prying your hair out from under Jamesâs arm. You raised your eyebrows in question, prompting Remus to go on.
âIt means youâre one of us now.â

Because you asked so nicely;
When we talk about twinkification we first have to establish what 'twink' as a concept is, and while I don't like playing semantics I do think the way we define this word is extremely important, mostly because twink, in the modern era has become one of two things. On one hand, it has become a term to use about any feminine man, sometimes even regardless of sexuality or even gender presentation. On the other, it has become another way for straight white women to call gay men slurs without actually saying said slurs. I don't think I should have to explain to you why both of these definitions are incorrect, harmful, and water down the way we see twink. Twink, according to Wikipedia (and before I hear any bullshit about it being wiki, if you will oh so kindly look at the long source list, there are many credible and also queer sources for the article) refers to a skinny, often young, hairless gay man. This definition has evolved from its (highly debated) original one of either 'twank' (a gay, male prostitute who is also a bottom) or twinkie, as a reference to the food because twinkies (I shit you not this is what the article says) lack nutritional value, sweet to the taste and creme filled. Now, the article says that twink is merely a physical marker. I, as a gender non conforming trans man who considers himself othered from the community of gay men (for reasons of both transness and bisexuality), cannot speak on this, or how the word is currently used in gay culture. I can, however, as a chronically online piece of shit, speak on how the word has developed in fandom culture, and how the twinkification of a character is not just physical, but also a stripping of said characters main attributes. But, to summarize, the word twink refers to an effeminate gay man who is (traditionally) young and a bottom. He is skinny, tall and sassy. Twink, in the real world is used only as a physical marker, but in fandom space is almost completely different to its real world usage.
Now that the semantics are out of the way we can get to the meat and potatoes of this essay. Twinkification, as a process applied it fictional characters, is bad because it strips them of their core identity traits to make room for sass, their skinniness (which is turned into a personality trait, or, at the very least a main characteristic) and their bottomness (please see the previous set of parenthesis). As to be as precise as possible with how this can/does happen I will use characters from a fandom I am familiar with as an example; Regulus and Sirius Black, as characterized by the Marauders Fandom (which is, in fact leagues different from the Harry Potter Fandom). However, to be as precise as I personally want to be, I also have to explain the significance of both of their characters, and how them being changed fundamentally is not that out of place because of the fandom, so that I can (eventually) prove that the way they are often characterized not only does not resonate the sentiments of the fandom, but actively works against it.
Firstly, the Marauders Fandom does not abide by canon, unlike other fandoms that may work in a very dissimilar way. This fandom operates on the basis that, because the canon is written by a TERF who gets physically enraged when in proximity to a trans person, taking her original characters and making them as queer as possible actively works against her, and is therefore not only a way of protest, but also a way to enjoy some peoples favorite media, guilt free. (There are multiple different sides to this arguement, and while I have my opinions on what constitutes protest and how guilt free one can actually be while not actively doing something for the communities JKR often hurts, that is not what this essay is about). This is the viewpoint all the characters, and therefore my argument, hinges on. To truly understand the twinkification process we need to first examine how these characters are treated in canon versus in the fanon universe. Sirius, for example, is canonically very unefeminate. While he is sassy, often throwing quips and firing back at people when he has the chance, he is not sassy in the same way that twinks are. In fact, I would argue Remus is much more effeminate and twink adjacent, but I'll put a pin in that for now. Going back to Sirius, though, he is almost the antithesis of a twink when it comes to a real world perception of the concept. He has wild, long hair in his first appearance, and while he is also skinny that is because he is malnourished, not because it is his natural state. He also has thick facial hair that he keeps throughout his appearances in the movies and (if I'm not mistaken) the books. He is hairy, vulgar at times, sarcastic, and doesn't do anything I (personally) would deem as 'bottom behavior.' His fanon appearances are, however, quite different.
Throughout fanon Sirius is often depicted, physically, in the same way he is when he is severely malnourished and on the run from soul sucking demons, which is to say, the fanon is not based on him when he is at his best both mentally and physically. He is often written or drawn to have gaunt cheeks and skinny, bordering on malnourished, features. His hair is long, but kept very proper, his nails are trimmed short (sometimes) and often colored, he is very often depicted as a bottom in the very popular fanon ship between him and Remus Lupin, and dresses extremely differently depending on the depiction. It is here, however, I do have to admit I do not have a strong case for his twinkification, because of the fact that he is often written to be genderfluid or nonbinary, and its a very common headcanon to hold. That being said, he is still often robbed of his personality to be the traumatized, rich, twink who is alll the way down bad for one Remus Lupin. Even in his own fics he is often characterized as lazy, dumb, and only carrying the following personality traits; sarcastic, traumatized, skinny, and slutty waist (I am truly tired of hearing this phrase! I mean it! Stop sexualizing every part of a goddamn body you hornballs). This is all to say that; twinkification is not only about the body but also about the soul.
Moving on, however, to my much stronger evidence; Regulus Arcturus Black. Regulus has 0 canon appearances, on account of being dead, and has a few cameos of which only his memory is present. The only things we know are; he was a death eater because he was (as described by Sirius Black, his brother,) 'too soft' not to fall into the ideology his parents had picked out for him, he was a Slytherin, he was on the quidditch team and likely a seeker. There is a singular picture in the film adaptation that makes him appear, in my opinion, quite well built. However, when adapted into fandom many things are changed about him. He and his brother are implied to having been abused by their parents, causing Sirius to move out in the summer between 6th and 7th year (I could be wrong on this as the canon and fanon timelines have become muddled), something that canonically is often translated into physical abuse. Because of this Regulus is betrayed as the lesser willed sibling. While Sirius definetly has a fight response the the abuse in fanon, Regulus has a freeze or (more accurately) fawn reaction, which unfortunately leads people to portray him as weak (there is a lot to say about that and how this fandom in general views abuse victims, and as someone who is an abuse victim myself some of you guys really could benefit from, I dunno, logging off a while). He is often also portrayed as sarcastic, depressed and skinny which I must emphasize is more often than not a personality trait and not a descriptor. Because we don't know much about his canon personality there is no telling if this directly contradicts his canon self, but we do know that he was, for lack of better term, kinda evil. He was a death eater and only really stopped being one because Voldemort hurt his closest friend, a house elf named Kreature. Why do people do this though? The same reason people do anything in fandom - for the sake of a ship. A very popular fanon ship is Jegulus the ship between Regulus Black and James Potter. James in this instance is a jock, one of Sirius' friends and a (for lack of better term) Good Guy, TM. People like this dynamic because, you guessed it, poor gay sadboi gets rescued by Good Guy TM and the abusers die, or whatever, Regulus is stripped of his autonomy in his own choices because it's no fun if he actually chose anything because that would make him flawed and while fandom praises morally grey people they actually hate staring into the abyss and seeing anything relatively human staring back at them because then they are reminded that their black and white thinking will not help them brave the winter that is going outside and interacting with people. Moreover, Regulus is often stripped of an identity outside of Jegulus, his personhood being removed along with his autonomy so that he can be forever codependent on James, until death do them part. He is also often described as pretty in an almost feminine way, white, short and gay, with high cheekbones and gaunt cheeks and - fuck how many other ways can I say he's skinny? To get to my point, Regulus is twinkified by his autonomy and personhood being stripped away from him systemically to make room for fandom's favorite OTP. By taking away the bad things he's done, and then labeling him morally grey because he is mean but in a way that reminds people of their own high school bullies, we are stripping him of the things that make him him, and cutting him down to a borderline homophobic caricature of an 'evil twink.'
Finally, why do I think this happens? A lot of reasons. The shift in public perception from gay people being evil baby eating crossdressers to them being okay in most parts if America and Canada has also shifted how covertly homophobic people are allowed socially to talk about us. Because of this they have had to find sneakier ways to call us slurs, and have settled (or had settled, for a while) on twink. But, because straight people primarily control culture and therefore perception of us, the general reaction from gay and queer people was important. Hence the normalization of calling any gay man with a pulse a twink. But I think that has little to do with fandom and more to do with the general okay attitude towards it.
I also think it happens because of people's general want for that morally grey, but not in a too bad way, characters. They want that golden spot of getting someone who is mean and does kind of bad things like stealing and smoking cigarettes and calling them fags, but not someone whose actions they actually have to reckon with and actively try not to normalize. Basically it is really hard to defend racism, even if it's in a fictional setting.
Furthermore, I want to talk about peoples need for a sanitized type of queerness. A gay man who is feminine, but won't put on a dress because crossdressing is still generally weird and too gay right now and just not in. Someone who is sassy but not female because then it isn't gay. Someone who only breaks gender norms a little, because if they actually broke out of the box that is gender a lot of people would not be able to tuck themselves in at night knowing that characters in a fictionally setting are defying norms in a universe they are not a part of. Because, at the end of the day, it's cool to have 'deconstructed gender' until you have to confront how it has benefitted you, so to get around it? Strip characters that you want to be gay but not too gay into a caricature that you can see in any late 90's early aughts romcom/sitcom.
I am sorry that this took so long and also sorry for writing it. I am a yapper, and you asked, so really it's your fault (damn am I Regulus because the writer is stripping me from accountability with my own choices)
People who twinkify Regulus/Sirius and make James/Remus (respectively) big and strong haven't unpacked heteronormativity and still believe - maybe even subconsciously - that every relationship has a 'man' and a woman.' In this essay I will-

Sparkle - Dec. 22nd - word count: 198 - @wolfstarmicrofic
Sirius was sitting on the floor with a few bottles of nail polish.Â
He was using a deep red nail polish with sparkles for the Christmas party later, mostly because he would never be seen sporting green on his nails. Like, who even did that? Ew.Â
The door opened and Remus walked in.Â
âHey, Pads.â he greeted as he looked around the room for his Christmas sweater. âHave you seen my sweater at all?â
âHmm? Oh, no I havenât,â Sirius answered absentmindedly. âMaybe check in your trunk?â
âSure,â Remus said, opening his trunk to look. âOh, found it! Thanks, Sirius.â
âYeah, yeah. Of course, Remus,â Sirius replied.Â
âWhat color polish are ya doinâ for later?â Remus asked, evidently smelling the polish.
âSparkly Gryffindor red,â Sirius said, poking out his tongue in concentration. âLike, really shiny and stuff.â
âOh, nice,â Remus responded, walking over to where Sirius was seated. âLooks good already.â
He crouched down to his boyfriendâs level and gave him a peck on the cheek. âIâll see you down there. James and Peter have oh-so-graciously requested for me to magick literally every decoration, so I gotta go.â
âLove you, Rem. See you later.â
âLove you too, Pads.â

Remus pathetically in love with Sirius is just, so,
It doesn't matter if Sirius literally has an inheritance that has set him good for life, if he offhandedly mentions wanting something that fits his rich kid's taste, Remus will be taking on overtimes and then spending his entire paycheck just for that gift.
It doesn't matter if Sirius is spoiled from his privileged upbringing, Remus would just spoil him further.
Oh Remus has an exam tomorrow? An exam worth 25% of his grades? On a subject he's struggling with? Well he can't be studying right now, Sirius is demanding his attention. Guess he'll be pulling an all nighter though he wouldn't mind as it meant he got to spend an entire day with Sirius.
Remus has somewhere to be? And he needs to look appropriate and presentable? Might be a little hard since Sirius just jumped on him, straddling his lap, unprompted. What do you mean Remus is supposed to push Sirius away? Sirius is on his lap
Sirius is not oblivious, he knows how pliable Remus is and takes full advantage, the conniving little shit.
