#Moonwater raising Harry

[gayliketheancients]

Welcome to the challenge prompt AU

Hello friends, and welcome back to Gay✨ has brainrot for her own fanfic. This post is a welcome to the AU guide where I explain what we’re looking at.

Before I say anything else, a PSA. Fuck JKR. LGBT rights are human rights. How did she write the most queer coded characters and then be like “sorry, only Fumbledore is gay. Love him!” Lol nah.

This au is based loosely off the criteria in this post, where the lovely anonymousqualities called into the Tumblr void for someone to take on their idea. I’ve heard their call, they looked over my outline, and I am posting part one today! Woo! The OG prompt was meant to be plotless, kinda crack fic ish, but I don’t know how to quit when I’m ahead so there will be a good deal of lore-building/lore-fixing from the source material.

Enjoy! ✨

Timeline: Halloween 1981 - Harry’s 8th year

Ships:

To Death, With Love: gifts within the love affair between Life and Death

Jegulus, Wolfstar, NobleFlower, RoseKiller, PandaLily, platonic MoonWater, Drarry (in the future), and more!

Things it will be featuring:

Regulus raising Harry

Harry and Draco becoming friends as young children

Regulus being a spy for James - but not the Order, never the Order. Him building a resistance of former death eaters with Narcissa Malfoy’s help.

Harry being a prodigy - and a scary one at that

Lily and James are alive (surprise! Regulus put them in a coma and adopted their son!)

BAMF Minerva McGonagall and BAMF Narcissa Malfoy

Snape gets an actual reception arc instead of dying a trash lord (hello, Uncle Severus)

And so much more!!!

A link to the series ❤️

1-There Is No One Else

Regulus saves Lily, James, and Harry. Minerva saves him. Custody changes, Remus goes ape shit on Dumbledore, and the smallest moments of context.

2-Family Home

Regulus raising Harry from ages 1-4 (ft Grandma Minerva), meeting Miss Cissy and Draco

So many cute moments in this one.

3-We Who Remain When The Price Was Paid

Harry Potter becomes the Master of Death on his 5th birthday. It's like playing where's Waldo, but instead, it's where are Harry's uncles???

Narcissa starts the resistance of exclusively wives of Death Eaters (blood magic pta moms)

Uncle Moony, Uncle Padfoot, Uncle Barty, Uncle Sev

4-Ragtag Little Family

Regulus just wants to hold a family meeting. But you can't hold a family meeting unless you can get the whole family in the same place.

A prison break, wolfstar reunion, wolfsbane potion trials, blood magic pta moms get a name, another prison break, a unicorn, a rat, and a birthday.

(happy adoption day, Uncle Moony)

5-Moony, Bobcat, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to introduce Harry James Potter-Black

Harry's last year before Hogwarts. Lily and James are awake, we get the family meeting Regulus has been wanting, and everyone tries to figure out how to function again.

From our beloved prompt giver, @anonymousqualities from little Luna in 4-Ragtag Little Family ❣️

[uninspired-choatic-angel]

James and Sirius hang mistletoes at every doorway/entrance, so they have an excuse to kiss Regulus and Remus.

Regulus asks Remus to help him set the table while James and Sirius play with Harry.

As Regulus comes out of the kitchen, Remus runs into him at the entrance

Regulus:

Remus:

Sirius:

James:

Sirius: We didn't think this through

James: No, we did not

Harry: Kiss!

Remus gives Regulus a peck on the forehead

Now that Zars back I’ve decided to make

Rules For Reading Fanfic

A guide on how to, and not to read and talk to fanfic writers!! Feel free to add anything

1. Authors word over all else!!!! Individual writers have different wants and preferences with fans interacting with there work. If they ask readers to point out spelling and grammar mistakes then you are more then welcome to! If they specially ask that you don’t ask about new chapters then shut your mouth about it! Always do what the author asks and we can avoid losing fanfic writers

2. Remember that these are people who are doing this for free!!! You are not entitled to anything! If they want to take a year long break from a fic then continue writing like nothing happened then they can do that and you need to be ok with it!!! I know it hurts when your fav wip hasn’t been update in 3 months but I promise you’ll survive!!! But you know what’s not gonna help the author? You yelling at them demanding they spend there own free time doing something that they clearly aren’t in the mood to do!!!

3. You can always click off! One of the great things about fanfic is that it’s free!! Everyone gets to enjoy it! And another great thing about it is that if you don’t like the way a fic is going, simply click off of it and stop reading!! The only thing you’ll lose is maybe a few hours of your time that you spent reading the fic! Don’t like the grammar errors? Click off! Don’t like the ship? Click off!!! Don’t like that 2 characters aren’t together yet? CLICK OFF!!! Do not leave a hateful comment! All you have to do is simply stop reading and find a new fic! If there is anything you don’t like about a fic figure out if you want to keep reading or not in spite of it or if you would rather just stop reading the fic but never, NEVER! (Unless the author asks for it) leave a comment complaining about it. It’s disrespectful and rude

Remember it’s ok to be excited about a fic and want a new chapter to come out but claiming your excitement for a new chapter and demanding a new chapter are 2 very different things that have 2 very different reactions from writers!!

moonseeker raising harry after losing everything and trying their very best to keep his parents' memories alive but also move on together is so important to me

[a-sunset-outside-my-window]

fic rec friday

Regulus Black survived the inferi only for the aftereffects of the cursed cave to attack his magic and turn him into a squib.

He lived long enough to see his brother arrested and imprisoned without trial.

He lived long enough for his mother to disown him.

He lived long enough to become an outcast in the world where he grew up.

Regulus had nothing left to live for. Then one day, on a whim, he decided to check on his brother’s godson. And then Regulus had someone to fight for.

So todays fic rec is a bit different in that it is still a wip. HOWEVER the author has already finished the story and is now only betaing (?) their own work. They update at least twice a month.

I just love this fic so much, I've been following it for a good couple of months and it's just... everything I love? Like wow! Regulus is saving and raising Harry in this one while trying to get Sirius a trial so our boy has a lot on his plate.

This fic is for everyone who is looking for some angst but also so much found family fluff. I can not put into words how much I adore this fic.

As always, give it a read and leave lots of love and kudos to the amazing author! Have a beautiful week my love.

Our Baby Has Four Feet?

poly!moonwater x pregnant!reader who find out they're having twins

CW: pregnancy, ultrasounds etc. I didn’t see either of the boys recovering from this advance the twins had on them - but I’m still dying that we could not decide who we’d prefer to be the bio dad hahahaha

This was the second moment in your pregnancy that you were convinced that Wizardingkind’s claim at being further advanced than muggles was completely unfounded. A simple charm cast on you at St. Mungo’s confirmed that you were, indeed, pregnant. But it was a muggle blood test at a walk-in clinic that told you how far along you were.

So, when Lily told you, Remus, and Regulus that she went to a muggle OBGYN for ultrasounds during her pregnancy with Harry, the boys were obsessed with the idea of getting to see the little life growing inside of you.

You found a clinic that was was understanding of your…unique lifestyle, and sat in a small room waiting for the doctor after being checked in by a nurse. 

“Regulus, please stop pacing.” You said quietly, repositioning yourself on the uncomfortable medical bed and wincing when the paper tore beneath you.

“Sorry.” He mumbled quickly as he sat down on one of the chairs, trapping his hands underneath him as if that would help his nervous fidgeting. 

“It’s going to be fine, bubs. This is standard; my mum had one done when she was pregnant with me.” Remus placated.

“Okay…okay, so it’s not invasive?”

You laughed. “Reggie, nothing happens. They just touch a camera to my belly and it shows what’s inside.”

Regulus blanched at that. “Will the baby feel it?”

Neither you nor Remus got to answer (or laugh at him) when the door opened and a Doctor wearing a bright smile entered the room. 

“Hello! You must be our mama?” She asked as she extended a hand to you, carrying on at your nod in affirmation. 

“My name is Doctor Bozelli. So, we’re here for an ultrasound?”

You nodded and looked towards Remus. “We’re about 19 weeks along now. This is our first ultrasound and our first pregnancy so we’re all a little new at this.” He explained to the doctor

“Well mazel tov! Alright; and are we finding out the sex of the baby?”

“I am, they won’t be.” You answered, causing the doctor’s face to spread into a cheeky smile.

“Okay, dads are leaving it as a surprise, got it. Okay mama, lean back for me and raise your top.”

You did as instructed as the doctor sanitized her hands and donned a pair of medical gloves.

“Alright, I’m just going to pull these down a little lower and tuck a sheet in so we don’t get gel on your trousers.”

You had no time to feel self conscious at so much of your midsection showing with an audience of three before the doctor was shaking a bottle of ultrasound gel.

“Now, this is going to feel cold, okay?” She said as she hovered it over your stomach.

“It’s not going to hurt her, is it?” Regulus asked hastily, earning him a none-too-gentle elbow in the side from Remus. 

“Ignore him; I do.” You offered the doctor, voice coloured in embarrassment. 

“Everything is perfectly safe, dad.” She placated as she spread the - sure enough - cold gel over your stomach and placed the doppler over the area. 

The room was quiet as the doctor searched for…well, you supposed the baby, though there really wasn’t anywhere for them to hide.

“This is your first ultrasound you said?” The doctor queried, causing Regulus to stand up quickly. 

“Yes.” You offered at the same time as Regulus barked “what’s wrong?”

The doctor chuckled before she responded. “Nothing’s wrong dad. Look.” 

She turned the screen towards the three of you and both boys learned further overtop of you to get a better look. 

“I….I’m so sorry but what are we supposed to be looking at?” Remus said; braver than you and Reg to admit you had no idea what was going on.

“See here?” The doctor said as she pointed to two little blobs that you could almost feel pushing into your stomach. “These are a pair of feet.”

The doctor was interrupted by the sound of Remus ‘awe’-ing before she continued.

“And these here are another pair.”

The room fell painfully silent as the three of you stared at the monitor.

“Our baby has four feet?” Regulus breathed out in disbelief. 

The doctor chuckled as she moved the doppler slightly and pointed out something else on the screen. “Well, seeing as there are two heartbeats; I’d reckon it’s less that one baby has four feet and more that there are two babies.”

“Two heartbeats?” Remus breathed out.

“One of them’s mine, right?” You asked nervously. 

The teasing that the doctor’s face had when speaking with Regulus and Remus fell into a more serious expression as she smiled at you. “No, mum. We wouldn’t see the fluttering of your pulse down here.”

The room stayed silent as the doctor moved the camera over your stomach; snapping screenshots every so often as she went. 

“Twins?” 

The doctor hummed in confirmation at Remus’ question as she took a few more pictures.

“One appears to be smaller than the other though, which would suggest they were not conceived at the same time.”

Regulus choked on air as he began pacing again. “Can’t one just be smaller than the other?” He asked; his voice taking on an almost shrill quality. 

“Not when the size difference is this dramatic, no. One of the twins is younger, I’d say by perhaps two weeks”

“Shut up.” You barked, causing all three heads to turn in your direction.

“Dove, it-”

“Shut up. No, one of the heartbeat’s is mine.”

“Amour, try to take some deep breaths, yeah?” Reg tried as he put a gentle hand on your ankle.

You kicked at him. 

“Don’t touch me. Did Sirius put you up to this?” You asked the doctor severely.

“S…Serious?”

“My brother; he’s a prankster.” Regulus explained at the doctors confusion. 

“No mama, this isn’t a prank. It’s called superfetation; though rare, your body can release two or more eggs during the same menstrual cycle, which can then be fertilized at different points.” She explained as if she were reciting notes from her medical student’s textbook. 

You stared unseeingly at the monitor that displayed not one, but two of your future children as Remus and Regulus continued asking questions.

“Are both of them healthy?” Regulus asked first, to which the doctor agreed quickly. 

“The younger one seems to be developing normally; their sibling hasn’t been strong-holding them for space or nutrients.”

“What can we expect from this type of pregnancy?” Remus asked.

“Does this increase certain risks for mum or babies?” Regulus added. 

“Oh, Merlin.” You breathed quietly, covering your face with your hands.

Remus’ hand was quickly on your shoulder, and whatever had compelled you to kick out at Regulus before was long gone as you turned towards Remus; his hand feeling like a grounding point keeping you from floating off into oblivion. 

“I’ll give you guys a few moments, okay?” The doctor asked quietly and excused herself after passing you some paper towel for the gel on your stomach. 

You let out an embarrassing hiccup as you pulled the cloth from your trousers, but Regulus’ hands were quickly taking over the task for you.

Remus had one hand on your shoulder and the other cradling your head as his thumb strokes at the baby hairs near your temple, allowing you to silently cry. 

Unfortunately, the gentle and loving way Regulus cleaned your stomach and righted your clothing only made you cry harder.

“Come on, sit up dove.” Remus encouraged as he pulled you up by your arms. 

Once you were sat upright, he was crouching down in front of you as Regulus moved behind you, wrapping his arms around your midsection - hands landing protectively over your growing stomach - as he rested his chin on your shoulder.

“That was quite the news, huh?” Remus asked quietly as he drew circles with his thumb on your thigh.

You nodded your head yes as new tears fell. 

“But sweetheart, you’ve grown two healthy babies and you didn’t even know it. You’re doing a wonderful job.” Regulus insisted, voice muffled as he pressed his lips into your jaw. 

“I know this is more than we bargained for, but I think we can manage between the three of us, yeah?” Remus offered, causing Regulus to scoff.

“Please, we won’t be able to keep their aunts and uncles away.”

You chuckled wetly at that as you wiped at your face. “Can we not tell them?”

“Tell who what, amour?”

“I don’t want to tell anyone it’s twins; let’s just surprise them.”

Regulus scoffed as Remus let out a boisterous laugh. “Absolutely mischievous dove, I love it. This is the best prank the Marauders will never see coming.”

“It would be nice to see my brother struck dumb.” Regulus mused.

“Then it’s settled.” Remus murmured, pressing his ear to your stomach. “Our babies will be born pranksters.”

wolfstar fic reccs 👀?

oh i have wolfstar fic recs.

regrettably i am chronically terrible at bookmarking fics so a lot of my favorites have been lost to time :/ but here are my favorite must-reads for the fandom! (and if anyone wants more recs i will get better with bookmarking i SWEAR)

all of these are on ao3 btw!! fics below the cut ;)

all my cards are here by haey1 - the order that i listed all these fics is completely random except for this one. this one is at the top for a reason. band au, remus is the new bassist. silly marauders antics, healthy dose of angst, drama, treachery????? it has everything (also side note jily is fucking adorable in this one)

text talk by merlywhirls - this one is number two for a reason. amcah will always be my favorite wolfstar fic but this one is the DEFINITION of a comfort fic. texting au, sirius accidentally texts remus who's in the hospital, so many antics and shenanigans bro. it does get angsty at times fs but its so cute yall. ALSO FRANK AND ALICE CONTENT UGH

staying strangers by 3amandcounting - this one is SO SILLY it's another one of those texting fics but it's genuinely such a fun read. also it has desi james potter which is my personal favorite marauders headcanon (!!)

like real people do by third_crow - LOVE me a good coffeeshop au, this one isn't all sunshine and rainbows but it's still super cute, also baby harry !!! unfortunately lily and james are in fact dead :/ but i love this sm

that's the art of getting by by sarewolf - oh GUYS this one is such a must read i swear to god, its a wolfstar (first remus, then sirius too) raises harry fic and it literally has everything. it'll rip you to pieces and fix you again and i had such a great (and terrible) time reading it

sweater weather by lumosinlove - HOCKEY AUUUUUU guys i dont know anything about hockey but this fic had me wanting to play. it has black brothers angst, gryffindor/slytherin rivalry, good ocs, physical trainer!remus and captain!sirius, its literally perfection.

beneath a big blue sky by eyra - guys. farmer remus. i dont think i need to say any more.

the horcrux hunt by lostmy_keys - this one is very regulus-centric but wolfstar is the main ship! its got some peak platonic moonwater, but it's also got some great wolfstar content. i was so invested in this one as it was coming out omg

pair of tossers with a cat by moonymoment - i am a moonymoment ENTHUSIAST and this fic is no exception, this one's just a bit of silly wolfstar, remus takes in a stray cat and sirius has beef with it. so cute, 10/10 would recommend

of memories and milk thievery by moonymoment - another moonymoment fav, remus and sirius are teddy's divorced fathers. so much silly beefing. theyre so petty and its fucking funny as shit but then randomly gets deep??? the marauders fandom cant stay away from angst for 2 secs but all in all such a funny fic i had such a silly time with it

[anonymousqualities]

Fic idea I'm hoping will pique a writer's interest and manifest lol

2nd war against voldemort but mostly everyone is alive...

Quick general lore:

-james and lily survive but were in a magic induced coma from Regulus' doing. When voldemort got to the manor he thought they were already dead but lily's love still rebounded the killing curse for harry.

-sirius still goes to azkaban but not for 12 years

-regulus raising harry up until hogwarts. Then transitions to moonwater raising harry

-the malfoys become spys for the order through lucius and Narcissa

-"disowned" draco after 5th year (for his safety) he lives with andromeda

-I recently saw a HC that Mary is Dean's mom and I'm in love with it. (Ignoring canon of his mom being just muggle)

-Alice is in better shape than frank and is able to leave st. Mungos. She's selectively mute.

-platonic Narcissa/Alice. Narcissa has been secretly visiting her at the hospital.

So the actual fic idea is slighty plot-less and is mostly oneshots surrounding the lore (so there's not really an end to the story): For safety reasons some of the order have to hide out at grimmauld place for the summer.

-

For the adults its nothing but TENSION and animosity. They assume the kids will be the same and everyone sits down with their respective teen/teens to explain that they all need to get along

Once everyone settles at grimmauld, to the adults suprise, the teens not liking each other is fake and they all get along (some more than others *cough drarry cough** 😷).

Ron and draco are basically besties

Hermoine and draco love to nerd out together

Pansy and ginny love to gossip with each other

Ginny/Luna

Also Luna is the friend-group's little sister and everyone is protective of her

Platonic maybe romantic Neville/blaise

Drarry has zero shame outside of hogwarts or the public eye. Their friends are use to it but the adults are shell shocked.

...

An order meeting just finished and the adults leave to check on the kids..

Sirius noticing drarry's sitting arrangement: "I beg your pardon!?" Remus follows his gaze and chuckles only to get elbowed.

"I fail to see what's funny, Moony!" Sirius turns to point an accusatory finger at a shock Regulus "this is your fault somehow!"

Regulus throws his hands up in defeat "of course you think it's my fault!" they go back and forth as James walks in.

"What's all- oh" he blinks owlishly at the scene in the living room. Sirius looks away from regulus to James.

"Can you believe this prongs!?" James' face is unreadable as he blinks again. This time he looks over at a blushing regulus who's avoiding eye contact.

James clears his throat "I can actually" his gaze still unwavering in regulus' direction.

Sirius' mouth clicked shut as he took a slow step back. Looking suspiciously from James to regulus and back to james. His jaw dropping in dramatic realization.

"Son oF A BI-"

"Whats all this?" Lily inquires as she takes in the group, absentmindedly stirring her tea. She pauses midway to take a sip as she looks into the living room.

She cooes, tears brimming her eyes as Mary, Narcissa, who has her arm around Alice, trail into the entryway behind her.

"Oh my little hazza" she sniffles leaning her head against Mary's shoulder. Mary hides a smirk into a sip of her own tea. Sharing a knowing look with remus.

Narcissa holds back her own tears "My sweet, Dragon" her hand rests against her chest, subconsciously pulling Alice in closer. Alice hums, resting her head on Narcissa's shoulder. Her face softening as she notices Neville and Blaise's own close proximity. Her usually glazed over eyes coming into focus.

Regulus clears his throat as he exuses himself, speed walking out of the room.

"Regulus? REGULUS" Sirius swats a now laughing Remus in the chest as he runs after his brother.

"Regulus, get back here!"

....

In the living room, the teens look over at the commotion.

Ron's brows furrow in confusion "what's all that about, now?" He turns back to Dean who shrugs. Everyone else giving the same gesture as they looked around at each other.

Luna hums dreamily from her place on the ground. Leaning her head against ginny's leg as she turns a page of the quibbler "old love can be just as complicated and young love" she concludes.

Silence fell over the group. They gave the grown ups another glance before promptly getting back to their own respective conversations.

They'll deal with that later on in the summer

-

Me waiting for a disciplined writer to take on this story idea:

[celestialgalaxyglow]

Platonic moonwater raided Harry. Harry, Regulus, and Remus all know Sirius is innocent, and they are hiding him in the Shrieking Shack till they can prove his innocence.

As for the rumors, Harry loves feeding into them. Given that he was raised by Regulus, he has a bit of the Black family madness. Maybe Harry has three biological parents: James, Lily, and Regulus.

Professor reg would be so funny

Like imagine he takes the position of runes professor in Harry's 3rd year and it's just like

Student 1: hey, do you think it's true that the professor's whole family is crazy?

Student 2: I mean his older brother is on the run from Azkaban and his cousin is insane so...probably

Regulus: Mr Arnold, 10 points from Hufflepuff for not being able to whisper.

The class: 🧍‍♀️🧍🧍‍♂️

Regulus: Any other comments? Wonderful, let's begin.

[prongskinniestuff]

I would say this on Twitter but i don't think it will reach as many people of the marauders fandom so i'll say here. Ya'll are creating figths out of nowhere, last year everybody was okay if someone had diferent fancast, but now is causing a huge figth, who you shipp was not others people problem. I get it if you're mad about certain things changing in some ff but god if someone wants to create a fic were lily dies after giving birth to harry and show how james is mourning about her death while raising harry and reg shows up it's okay, it's a freaking fanfic, no one said crap about changing remus whole backstory in atyd, it's named "plot" for godsake

A few months ago everybody was loving regulus, Evan, barty and the whole slytherin crew but now is absurd liking them? This fandom chances way too fast bc of trends and i'm fucking tired of it

This fandom used to be my place of comforting, but now it's stressing me out

If you shipp jegulus, jily, moonwater, wolfstar, marylily, rosekiller etc it doesn't matter, THEY'RE FICTIONAL CARACTHERS

[ellecdc]

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 🙃🙃🙃🙃 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

this is so fucking ADORABLEEEEEEEE

i love platonic moonwater

James and Sirius hang mistletoes at every doorway/entrance, so they have an excuse to kiss Regulus and Remus.

Regulus asks Remus to help him set the table while James and Sirius play with Harry.

As Regulus comes out of the kitchen, Remus runs into him at the entrance

Regulus:

Remus:

Sirius:

James:

Sirius: We didn't think this through

James: No, we did not

Harry: Kiss!

Remus gives Regulus a peck on the forehead
