#Sirius x Kingsley

[del-stars]

Sirius is the third in the stormking marriage and it’s like he’s 20something and broke and they’re this older well off bored married couple and they decide hey what the hell and suddenly sirius is drinking their expensive merlot in a velvet robe after round 4848575 because for 40sometings they can go for a while

And it’s perfect because kingsley needs a new shiny thing to dote on and alastor loves providing and protecting and sirius is a-ok fulfilling whatever role they need

sirius is BROKE 😭😭 like he went from being raised around the finer things in life to being bust down broke as fuck. so when he runs into these older gay guys who clearly have cash.... he's scheming from the moment he meets them. alastor and kingsley r both like. wow. look at this shiny new toy we get to play with. so they r taking him on expensive ass dates and LAVISH vacations and he's just their 20something twink there to entertain them. he's not not a sugarbaby... but also he likes them!! alastor is like. giving him career guidance n shit. and kingsley is always giving him life advice. for angst purposes i feel like alastor definitelyyyyy catches hard feelings & genuinely cares for sirius on a very deep level whereas kingsley is like. this is literally a 20 year old nyu student we found on grindr. like he's cool but he's not part of our family ?? chill out. but kingsley and sirius fuck the nastiest which is why kingsley keeps him around. and then sirius is litr just happy to be there !!!!!!!!

Hey, I was randomly scrolling through your fic’s on ao3 and I saw the “The Great Chocolate Shortage of 1996” and I know how you talked about liking Prongsfoot more than Wolfstar and the fic I saw you wrote Sirius/Kingsley. I’ve never heard of that ship before lmao how did you come up with it? Like what were your thoughts behind it?

omg omg okay, I love Kingsley/Sirius and desperately need to spread this agenda 🕺though I cannot take credit for coming up with it! (I’d forgotten I’d ever written that fic, honestly. Not sure how it holds up lol) 

Not only is there the idea that Kingsley is heading up the investigation for Sirius and, therefore, like literally looking for him, but Kingsley is risking everything to make up lies to keep Sirius safe. Not only would Kingsley lose his job, but he’d likely be arrested if it became obvious what he was doing. and yet he’s doing it, yes technically for the order but suspend your disbelief for a second with me and say it’s for Sirius 🙂

I think Kingsley represents a kind of steady stability that Sirius needs after Azkaban as someone who is mostly calm, and collected, but also ready to call people like Dumbledore out on his bullshit (for example, it’s Kingsley that says Dumbledore should have made Harry prefect, and Remus who blindly stands firm with Dumbledore’s decision [Ootp ch9). Kingsley’s not involved in that drama, so he can be the person that Sirius leans on pretty easily. It’s almost a fresh start with someone who knew James, but isn’t wrapped up in his own baggage about it and doesn’t come with the same toxicity towards each other that Wolfstar does. 

I reckon it started out as harmless banter, and then snowballed into casual hookups and if Sirius had lived long enough to begin to heal properly, maybe a long-term thing. I think Kingsley is different enough from Sirius to present an interesting dynamic, whilst being much closer than you’d think on the surface. And fuck I think Sirius would make a great Minister’s husband, I think that’d be hilarious from the wizarding world’s perspective 🙂‍↕️

I also just love Kingsley and don’t get to do enough with him, so if I get the chance I put him with Sirius - I’ve also written them together in the background in The World We Build. But other authors have done it much better like HecateA over on fanfic.net and Postcard in Paris by Greyeyedmonster18 (it’s moonchaser but the Kingsley/Sirius stuff is still very good).

Thank you so much for the ask, I love just getting to yap about things (obviously 😅)

Wednesday WIP

Thanks for the tag @tracingpatternswrites

I’ve recently started a Sirius/Kingsley fic that I will entirely blame on @arliedraws and @sorenphelps for their recent Starking drawings. Which, will have a scene in this fic eventually.

Enjoy 😉

~~~~

Padfoot sniffs along the edge of a garbage can. It’s not his favorite way to find food, but he can’t really be picky when–

“Hey there, pretty boy,” a kind voice says behind him.

Padfoot shrinks back slightly as he turns, then even more as he sees who is behind him. Sirius hasn’t seen Kingsley Shacklebolt since he left Hogwarts. Kingsley was two years behind them, and Sirius was fully enveloped in the war effort before Kingsley finished school.

Kingsley squats near him, hand outstretched. “It’s alright, sweet boy. Can I help you?”

He’s wearing maroon auror’s robes, stretched tight across his chest, and Padfoot honestly isn’t sure if this is a trick or not. He’s just escaped Azkaban. He would be a fool to get close to an auror. Instead, Padfoot edges away from Kingsley, back hunched.

“Okay, wait, hold on,” Kingsley holds a hand out, facing it at Padfoot. “Stay, I’ll be back in just a moment.” Kingsley apparates away without bothering to see if there are muggles around. Foolish, probably. Padfoot is surrounded, most likely.

He shouldn’t wait. It’s practically signing his own order for a dementor’s kiss to stay. In fact, he should run far, far away. Instead, he goes back to looking for food. He slinks away down the alley, sniffing at trash cans again. When there’s a loud crack, he hides behind one of the cans.

Padfoot can just see Kingsley from his hiding place, and there’s something in his hand. Padfoot lifts his nose and sniffs the air as Kingsley turns, scratching his head with his free hand, looking for where he went. It’s food. In his hand is something delicious–chicken, Padfoot thinks. He doesn’t mean to, but he walks out from behind his can, nose wiggling in the air.

Kingsley turns again and sees him, and there’s a big smile on his face. “There you are, pretty boy. I knew you didn’t leave. Such a good boy.” Kingsley squats, hand outstretched with the chicken toward him.

Padfoot doesn’t even recall deciding to move, but he’s suddenly snuffling in Kingsley’s hand as he devours the last of the chicken. “There you are. I know you were hungry. Can I get you some more? Would you come with me if I promised you more?”

Padfoot licks his hand now, trying to catch all of the grease left in the grooves of his palm. When Kingsley starts walking again, with a come on, good boy, Padfoot follows him. He has no choice, probably. There is chicken involved.

Will you please write Sirius x Kingsley for day 9?

Capture

@microficmay day 9 ‘agony’ Sirius/Auror!Kingsley, 50 words

The street is littered with bodies, the shops torn to pieces. Sirius stands in the wreckage, back turned, shoulders shaking.

Kingsley thinks he’s crying. He’s only seen Sirius cry once — overstimulated and boneless, moaning between silk sheets. 

He’s wrong.

Sirius is laughing. Agony and madness wrapped into one terrible sound.

@hprecfest Day 21: a thought-provoking fic

The Walls That Remain, by HecateA

This Sirius/Kingsley fic explores the idea that Kingsley's views on Azkaban would be permanently altered by having known and loved Sirius, and this would influence the decisions he makes as Minister of Magic.

I mean, how could it not, really? The ship, of course, is not canon, but he did know Sirius and seems to have been on good terms with him. And he was the one who stopped using dementors as prison guards. You expect me not to think those two things are connected? This fic takes that idea a lot further, and it makes so much sense.

[sc0rpiflow3r]

really, I have 3 WIPs to write but I'm itching to write a Sirius/Kingsley falling in love during the second war

it's just that Blackbolt is so ✨ hot ✨ and there are almost no fics of them, they're such an amazing rare pair

Wip Wednesday

Today with a little Sirius/kingsley

"No need to look this suspiscious, Sirius," Kingsley says earnestly. Sirius still wasn't used to be read this easily. Most people couldn't look through his carefully put on facade, but for some reason, Kingsley didn't seem to have a problem with that. Maybe it was part of his job. "Come with me, I have a surprise for you!" Sirius raises his eyebrows, but follows Kingsley towards the garages at the far end of the parking lot.

Kingsley bows down, rummaging around some, his well-fitted trousers accentuating his very fit arse, and when he gets back up, raising the garage door, his muscles bulk through his dress shirt. Sirius has to tear his eyes away, as to not get caught ogling his friend. He curses to himself. Kingsley is his friend. and in his current situation Sirius really can't afford getting awkward around the few friends he does have.

"Tadah!" Kingsley says, a note of irony in his voice, which to Sirius' ears sounds self-depricating.

"What am I looking at?"

"This is a garage," Kingsley explains patietly, and Sirius rolls his eyes.

"Thanks, professor! Let me rephrase; Why are you showing me a garage?"

OMG PLS TURN THIS INTO A LONGER FIC

Some Sirius/Kingsley - I may turn this into a longer piece.

Mundungus had disapparated with a pop, leaving behind a lingering smell of burnt socks and cheap Firewhiskey.

The two remaining men, stared silently at the place where he had just stood before Sirius finally spoke.

“Getting a thrill out of cavorting with criminals, Auror Shacklebolt?” Sirius said, leaning back in his seat and taking a long drag from his cigarette.

Kingsley smiled, studying the way Sirius closed his eyes with momentary pleasure while he held the smoke in his mouth.

“ You aren’t a criminal.”

Sirius’s eyes snapped open, the smoke billowing from lips that now bore a mischievous smile.

“Says the man in charge of my manhunt,” he drawled, leaning further back in his chair so his face became shrouded in shadow, and the candlelight reflected in his eyes took on an almost supernatural quality.

“Well, unless you have something to confess,” Kingsley offered, sipping the 80-year-old malt he had brought over. “ I stand by my assertion that you don’t count.”

Sirius took another long drag.

“ What if I told you that I’m the mastermind behind ‘Dung’s dodgy cauldron venture.”

Kingsley snorted, sending a spray of whiskey down his French velvet robes.

“ I would say that I’ve overestimated you.”

Narcissa accidentally and reluctantly befriending all of the Gryffindors?

like imagine

Narcissa is staying late in the library, when she notices a very stressed Remus, when she eventually asks him if he needs help (she claims it’s her duty as a prefect) he claims to have missed a big test due to illness, so she helps him study and stay on top of things.

Narcissa notices Regulus hanging around James Potter a lot, and so when she sees him after quittitch games, she tells him good game.

Narcissa hangs around Dorcas a lot, so when Marlene begins to join them, Narcissa treats her with respect as she would anyone, trying to ignore her house and family name for the sake of her friend.

Frank notices her stealing glances and Alice every now and then, he knows that Alice likes her, so he starts to invite Alice to group studies and game nights.

Narcissa see’s Severus begin to give his long time friend crap for being a ‘mudblood’ and as much as she intends to keeps her bloodline clean, she’ll take any chance she can to annoy Snape, so she’ll put him in his place every now and then, before giving Lily a wink and waking off.

when Alice and Narcissa start seeing each other in secret, Alice one day suggests inviting her along for a hogsmeade trip, everyone agrees almost instantly, except for Sirius, who’s wondering how all of these people know his cousin so well.
