#Messr Moony

[asnarkyandironicusername]

to be fair, snily at least has sev's canon crush and a canon friendship (lily actually makes an effort to hold on to snape's friendship, even if it becomes too much). i've seen ppl go for AUs or redemptions. it's not my thing, but they're common romance tropes, especially since snape does repent bc of lily (again, not everyone likes it or is convinced by it, but it's still a canon thing). i think it's a different thing from, say, moonwater. the others? i wish at the very least they'd acknowledge that half the ship wants the other dead. it's sick to read regulus being cared for and comforted by the victims of the guy he fanboys over if there's no effort to acknowledge that that's what's going on. either make an AU or an OC, at the very least. "regulus and remus would be friends" no they would not, regulus wants remus twice dead bc he's a half-blood and bc he's a half-breed. and james would want nothing to do with someone that wants his friends dead.

Yeah, that’s fair, Anon. There’s definitely some nuance to this, like I agree that a redemption AU is different. As far as Snily, I could even see it when they are younger (like before year 6) & in Hogwarts as a bit of an AU, but the ones where Lily just straight up forgives him for having her hubby murdered & child hunted down are wild. The whole point in canon was that she was so fiercely protective of her child, he was protected even after her death!

Honestly, it’s the moonwater and the Jegulus (w/out redemption arcs) that truly blow my mind. And like I said, I’m all for ship what you want, but I agree they should be labeled AUs & not treated as if it would be canon for a DE and a werewolf to get high and laugh about their boyfriends together (especially considering DE are allegorical Nazis & Nazis also hated gay people). “Joann never said it didn’t happen!” No, but she certainly gave us enough context clues that we can put it together!

James: What are you drinking? Regulus: Vodka. James: Straight? Regulus: No, gay. Why?

as desperately as sirius wanted to be the cool aunt figure to harry, he was 100 percent the coddling aunt who pinched cheeks and stuffed him full of food every time he came over. remus was the cool aunt who would take him to places he wasn't supposed to go and covered for him when he wanted to sneak out, and sirius was jealous

If anyone else had been teaching when Neville walked nervously to the front of the Boggart class, they'd have said "it's okay, I don't bite".

But Professor Lupin couldn't say that.

[emryyyyyss09]

i kin remus lupin so much, both because of his grades and undying need to study but also because he has to work, really, really hard to get where he is. sirius will chill next to him while he's studying, wickedly intelligent with no need to revise or anything, and remus will be drowning in ink and books and the fear of failure, of not being enough for the school he was so graciously accepted into, terrified that he will fail and prove everyone (his father) who ever doubted him right. he'll study and read and study some more just to be on the same level as the people around him, as the highly intelligent individuals he surrounds himself with (the heir of the noble house of black, mr street smarts and the hogwarts chess champion) and stress when he can't do that good enough.

and i relate to him so much.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:

Harry: The map was lying then!

Sirius: The map never lies!

♤◇♤◇♤◇

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince:

Hermione: [about Malfoy disappearing out of Hogwarts] The map is wrong.

Harry: The map is never wrong.

I just know the marauders are already preparing for their next pranks, because April fools just finished, they can’t give anyone a break

[scooby-snacs]

you know what I love? regulus black. you know what else I love? james potter. you what I love more than anything else? james potter and regulus black hopefully in love with each other.

[procrastinationandnightmares]

Ok, now we know that James and Marls regularly crossed pathes on their way to or from the Slytherin dorms. But what if instead it was Reggie and Dorcas? or Dorcas and James? or Marls and Reggie?????

PSA: Stop pretending Peter doesn’t exist‼️He was a marauder just like the rest of them. There is no “big three” it’s big four; Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Plus leaving him in your canon just makes more room for angst.

One of my old works that I have never posted anywhere except for Behance. Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs

Here's the Behance project with some drawing steps.

20th October - Spirit - @wolfstarmicrofic - word count: 260

The spirit was willing. But the body just wouldn't obey.

Remus lay, stared up at the ceiling, and tried to put the pieces of the night before back together in his mind.

Peter slips, losing his footing, and James laughs as he reaches out to catch his hand and pull him back to firmer ground.

Laughter from behind him. Grey eyes carefree as he lifts his head back and gives a sharp bark. The moon is a silver sickle in the sky.

"If we survive this, Padfoot, remind me to kill you in the morning!" James calls, his words snatched away by the wind.

"If we survive this, Prongs, it will go down in history as Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs' most daring adventure!" Sirius calls back.

"Not if we're not alive to tell it," Remus quips.

Sirius turns, eyes flashing, reaches out to grab Remus by the robes, and hauls him forwards onto the ledge of the tower.

Remus teeters precariously, feels the exhilarating rush of his potential plummet to the rocks below. Sirius places a steadying hand on Remus' shoulder, leans close, and whispers, "If this isn't living, what is?"

Remus lay and stared up at the ceiling, puzzling the pieces of his dream back together. But try as he may the fragments receed into the dawn, chased by the daylight that crept into the room, and the letter from Dumbledore still open on the bed beside him:

It would be my great honour to offer you the position of teacher, if you'd be minded to accept?

[study-of-the-moon]

James and Sirius are the best friends who are so incredibly emotionally co-dependent on each other that you wonder how they function without each other, but then you see them together and realise that the only reason they're sane seperately is because its when they're TOGETHER that they go absolutely, undeniably feral :)

[my-castles-crumbling]

Alone

He sighed, eyes stinging, body exhausted.

He knew he shouldn't.

He did it anyway.

"Erm...I, Remus Lupin, demand you open up," he murmured, pointing his wand at the parchment, purposely getting the words wrong.

Instantly, his heart began beating double-time and his body grew hot as the magic worked- ink unfurling and swirling artistically over the blank background.

Messr Moony would like to remind himself that we set a password for a reason. Have you been confounded by Prongs again?

He chuckled a but, reminding the time James had accidentally confounded him, resulting in a few days of hilarity, as nobody could copy his notes and his friends actually had to suffer through classes.

Messr Prongs would like to remind the astoundingly intelligent and handsome Messr Moony that he is a genius and a wanker. And that if he could continue to avoid that one broom closet in that one hallway during his rounds, it would be beneficial for everyone involved.

He felt a pang in his chest, remembering how he often used to cover for James and Lily when they wanted some "alone time," especially after they had all walked in on the two far too many times. They'd been so enamored, so in love, so happy. It felt like forever ago, now.

Messr Wormtail would like to thank Messr Moony for always sharing his Potions homework and also remind him to take breaks from studying, the obsessive nerd.

This one hurt even worse. He smiled fondly, even as the tears started to fall, and he remembered how Peter used to encourage him to take breaks, to spend time with friends. He'd been so determined to do well on his exams, to give himself even a small shot at a future, that studying had been so important. He regretted that now.

But the last message. That was the worst.

Messr Padfoot would like to remind Messr Moony that he loves him more than anything and that he is far too stuffy for his own good. Stop messing with the Map and come kiss me, idiot.

He gasped outright at that, tears flowing freely, now.

He wished, more than anything, that he could go find him. Kiss him. His Padfoot.

But he was gone now.

And Remus was alone.

Sometime at Grimmauld Place in the summer of 1995

Sirius (yelling from somewhere upstairs): Moony?

Remus (distracted): Kitchen, Padfoot.

Fred (looking up): Hang - on.

George (also looking up): Moony? Padfoot?

Fred (slowly): Like in... Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs?

George (perking up): Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief Makers-

Remus: Er-

Sirius enters, exchanges a look with Remus, raising his eyebrows in amusement

Fred: - are proud to present-

Fred and George (now yelling): - THE MARAUDER'S MAP?

Remus shrugs, a smile playing around his lips.

Sirius (winking): I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good.

Fred (startled): No - way.

George (leaning back): We have so many questions.
