5 boring facts about me

Tagged by the loveliest people @lovelymasks and @euripidestrousers . But this was actually such a hard thing to do. I don’t think I have a very good concept of the word boring. And every time people post these I feel like they are the most fun and interesting facts ever. But here I go.

1. I have a ridiculously high pain tolerance.

2. I’m clumsy as hell, and the number of scars on my hands and arms from cooking is also ridiculous.

3. For the longest I thought I’m not allergic to anything until like two years ago I found out that when your tongue feels itchy when you eat something, it’s because you’re allergic to it. Looks like I might be allergic to raw walnuts.

4. I hardly remember anything from my childhood.

5. I have a huge scented candle collection. Not because I collect them but because for some reason people always think of giving them to me and I never light them.

Anyway, this is it. I almost wanted to add one about my bad back as I am at the hospital with it at the moment, but that bored me to death.

Obligatory tag, but please don’t feel like you have to do any of these @ohyou-pretty-things @lemndrps @onehundredflamingos

✨Saturday Snippet✨

@wylanlupin tagged me in wip wednesday but this is the first day I've had to chance to properly look at my fics all week :")

I'm currently bouncing between three fics I want to finish in 2 weeks - this is the opening to a NYE fic/sequel to Sweet Dreams. Maybe posted sometime this month, maybe posted next year, we'll see!! (Very minor spoiler alert for those reading along to the realtime updates lmao)

Regulus is good at hosting parties, great in fact if he does say so himself. It almost certainly has something to do with his parents - the etiquette lessons that were drilled into him since childhood by his mother and later the networking events he's attended with his father, learning those little tricks on how to read a client and win them over. Regulus has developed a bit of passion for it. He knows what people like, enjoys planning an evening that he knows his guests will appreciate. So when Sirius had floated the idea of spending New Year's in London, Regulus took it into his hands to arrange. It's only a small affair, just Sirius and a handful of friends. And Remus. And Teddy. Regulus hasn't had the pleasure of meeting his brother's new boyfriend yet. There have been some brief conversations while on the phone with Sirius, and Regulus did a fair bout of internet stalking when they first started dating (he may have been ever so slightly concerned that Sirius’ very uncharacteristic decision to drop his entire life for someone he’d just met was some sort of romance scam and he wanted enough foresight to protect as much of his assets before Sirius came slinking back to London with his tail between his legs.) But twelve months later Sirius is still in Scotland, hasn’t lost all his money in a shotgun marriage and the subsequent divorce, and seems the happiest he’s ever been in a long time. And from the little Regulus knows about him, he has to admit Remus seems like a decent guy. Maybe lacking in taste when it comes to men, but then he’d gotten Regulus and advanced proof of Emily Wilson’s Iliad translation which permanently landed Remus in his good books.

This Is literally definition of myself. I’m in the perpetual state of overwhelm though.

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

a cure for nightmares [+podfic] by picascribit ♡

there's a mysterious new boy at St Godric's boarding school, and Sirius can't stop thinking about him, but the secret Remus is keeping might break Sirius's heart.

fire on fire by wolfstargarden

sirius’ frown deepened. after a moment he murmured in a low voice, “I don’t understand you at all, remus lupin. oh, but I would so very like to.”

a flush crawled boiling heat up remus’ neck as he fumbled for an answer. “goodness sirius ... I’m no one special.”

sirius’ gaze didn’t waver. he said simply, “I think you could be very special to me.”

sun in my eyes by orphan_account ♡

remus lupin struggles with a lot of things in life. bipolar disorder, being poor, and working as an artist. he has a strict routine and plans to keep it that way with the help of his best friends lily and james until one day james' best mate from school shows up and turns everything upside down. when art model sirius enters remus' life like a whirlwind, nothing will ever be the same.

forget-me-not by halictus

for someone who just woke up with amnesia and a bad concussion, remus lupin isn't too dispirited. he'll get through it with the help of his friends, taking it one day at a time, as sirius says. the only (other) problem? there's something important that he's forgetting.

everything circles back to you by gardenoflupins

remus nests for the first time using unusual items and is overwhelmed by the process. sirius supports him the best he can.

drenched in you, chanting your name by gardenoflupins ♡

remus and sirius live together peacefully as friends. when remus has his heats, sirius goes out of town until it’s over and vice versa. sirius returns home to find that remus’s heat has lasted longer than expected and needs to resist remus’s pleas along with his own urge to fuck him senselessly.

forever is a state of mind by orphan_account

deaf dance choreographer, remus lupin, has a simple life. working, taking care of his son, and running his youtube sign channel. when he unwittingly becomes involved with deaf pride activist, fleamont potter, he doesn't realise how much his life will change. especially after he meets youtube star and makeup artist, sirius black.

to reach the soul by orphan_account

when remus lupin is invited to attend a deaf dance academy for part of his bsl level, he doesn't expect to meet someone like sirius black. but the moment he does, his entire world is turned upside down.

we don't need orgasms to feel good by catpotato

it's discovered during a game of truth and dare that james, a trans man, has never had an orgasm. sirius and remus, his boyfriends, learn it's because he can't. they decide to find ways james can still feel good and get release.

m.a.t.e.[s] by diamondmeadows ♡

remus has been single for years, and his solitary heats are getting worse and worse with every passing year. his friends can't stand it anymore and, after a great amount of convincing, sign him up for a matchmaking agency. he never expects to get anything out of it, distrustful of the strangers' techniques to find him a partner. remus is determined to terminate the contract after a single date. but several dates later, he realises he might have been caught in a trap. he keeps coming back to meet more people.... well, to see james and sirius, really, a charming duo working at the agency itself. not that he can be matched with any of them. not that he can stop himself from dreaming about it.

here I am (come and take me) by indicamuse

the room is submerged in the soft guitar and gentle crooning of al green while sirius waits, an expectant look on his face as if he couldn't imagine remus not doing what he asked. remus crumbles. “don’t laugh-” “I would never-” “you certainly would-”

“marauder’s oath”, sirius places a hand over his chest, still clad in the magenta, satin robe. he appreciates the privacy of his flat with gusto, having forgone actual clothing since graduating. “I swear on prongs’ antlers and wormtail’s disgusting rat tail, not to laugh.” he adds in a more serious tone, “I won’t, not about this.”

remus hesitates. takes a breath. “I've never… had sex before. you'd be the first.” sirius’ expression shifts minutely. “alright. and the other thing?” bloody sirius black, nigh impossible to fool. remus sighs, rubbing a hand over his face. “and… I've never managed to… knot before.”

goodbye nostalgia by makki0s

you started cruising again, down the road, this time the lowered windows let in the cool night air and sirius stuck his torso out, eventually deciding on sitting on the window, the only thing keeping him tethered to the car being his legs inside and the hand on the roof that helped balance him. james followed soon after, his foot tapping your thigh as he laughed with Sirius. their screams made you and remus laugh too,

”what are you waiting for?” remus’s deep brown eyes looked at yours through the review mirror and you felt your breath caught in your throat.

the lord of desperate longing by reytheghost

"(...) he had found himself wanting remus, moony, with his gentle voice, to not tell him that it would be okay, but that it was okay and fucked up, but okay still, and that was when he realised – in a daze, while frantic thoughts were racing through his mind, making everything he had unconsciously been hiding for so long known in the most brutal way – that no, remus lupin was not only a friend."

sirius has a lot feelings, remus has his own issues too, and james is a very good best friend.

wildest dreams by solmussa ♡

“how gorgeous?” mary asks. she’s leaning so far forward her chair is balanced on two legs only. remus lets out a dreamy sigh. “cover of a magazine gorgeous.” “damn.” “yeah,” remus says. “anyway. it was all very… uhm… idyllic, I guess.” “you mean romantic,” lily chimes, smiling. “what happened?”

with a heartfelt sigh, remus drops his face on the desk and groans, “he ghosted me. said he’d text me. said he’d freaking visit me in wales,” here he looks up and clarifies, “I didn’t know I was going to stay in london. this was a last minute change.” he drops his head back down, forehead on the polished table. “he said all the right things and I got my hopes up and it’s been a week and he hasn’t responded to any of my texts.”

one shot with a little wolfstar angst <3 modern muggle au

reeled by lunchbucket

remus decides to finally spend a summer day with his childhood best friend, sirius, after not seeing him for three years. but when old feelings quickly start to resurface, remus is left feeling like no time has passed at all.

sweater weather by lumosinlove ♡

remus works for the gryffindor lions as a physical trainer, and has been half in love with sirius black, the lions' heartthrob captain, for a while now, but he never expected sirius to return the feelings. read if you like cute nicknames, slow burn, and pining. yep. that's it.

disintegration by moonymoment (ongoing) ♡

remus stepped into sirius’ personal space, leaning down and taking out his holy water doused dagger from his pouch. he placed it flat underneath sirius’ chin, pushing his head up to look him in the eyes. he hissed as the silver burnt him, red and vicious.

“what,” he whispered, “are you doing here?” sirius looked pained for a second, and then he blinked, and that stupid, cocky smile lit up his face once more. “wouldn’t you like to know, pretty boy?”

or — sirius and remus have been trying to kill each other for eight years, but something always seems to be standing in the way.

5 boring facts about me

Tagged by my sweetie @diamondmeadow Not sure if these are necessarily boring? I tried. They are definitely facts 📠

1. I used to be a badass, beer drinking, smoking, turnstile hopping tomboy. I back country camped and hiked through shit that terrifies me to think about now! Pulled a 180, find me cozy on my couch with a glass of wine painting my nails. Not touching a tent with a ten foot pole. I have truly become boring. 16 year old me would 🪦

2. I’m an antique dealer, which sounds more fun in theory and mostly involves a lot of dirty old things and researching. I have an extensive knowledge of relatively pointless ( in day to day life ) facts about zippers, plastic and buttons.

3. Love baseball. Love calling the boys silly names and yelling at my tv screen. ex. “RUN BABY WHY”  

“look at his THIGHS” 

“Ew this team isn’t cute” 

“Aw my team is cute”

4. If someone is crying, there’s a 95% chance that I’ll start too. I’m so baby 🥲

5. I have a BFA! But I do nothing with it!

out of context snippet

thanks @diamondmeadow and @lemndrps for the taggg even though I barely have any current WIPs aside from anon fests

“Oh, Pansy,” Narcissa cooed, sitting on her opposite side. She set her hand on Pansy’s bare thigh and stroked up and down, hiking her dress up higher with the movement. “Don’t worry about him right now.”

“We’ll take care of you,” James promised, hooking a finger beneath her chin and pulling her gaze to meet his.

“You’ll be a good daddy?” Pansy asked, and her eyes were so sad, so haunted and full of hurt that James would have agreed to anything she asked him at that moment. “Nice to me?”

“So good,” James said, looking at Narcissa. “Cissy is such a good mommy, too. She won’t let anyone hurt you.”

two? i think?

🍈 How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

🍌 What is one way you've improved as a writer?

🍑 Do you have any bad habits as a writer?

the minute i hit a hard scene i give up lol

🍍 What's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

crime of varying types (scared i'm on some sort of list at this point tbh)

uhhh idk england and identity issues? i guess? crops up a lot in my work (write what you know huh)

the ones i want to write!!! like writing just what i want instead of worrying about what people might want to read

🍑Where do you do your writing? What platform? When?

my little desk, wherever that may be

Writing Patterns

Thanks for the tag @diamondmeadow this one is really interesting!!

List the first line of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there's a pattern.

Crazy Ex-Boyfriend: “You don’t have to do it. Unless you want to.”

What's So Special About Christmas? Remus and Regulus: The holiday spirit engulfed Remus as he stepped into the Great Hall, adorned with Christmas trees at each table, twinkling fairy lights, and festive holly and mistletoe garlands. 

Mistletoe Mojito: Snow falls from a gray sky, gently covering the village of Hogsmeade in a blanket of white. 

What's so Special About Christmas? Sirius and the Potters: “Shouldn’t you be packing?” Remus said, over the top of the book he was trying to read. Sirius had been making it difficult by hovering around the dormitory, staring at his trunk, and sighing loudly. 

Anticipation: “Maybe the letter won’t come.” Regulus said thoughtfully, while he finished washing a dish, handing it to James to dry.

El Reyezuelo de El Dorado: Sirius deserved what was coming to him. Make no mistake, the twisting feeling in my stomach was not guilt or remorse over what I had done.

Wolfsbane of My Existence: The glowing orb of the full buck moon slowly sank below the horizon as the first rays of sunlight penetrated the lush Welsh countryside.

You and Me, Moony: A whistling sound, quiet and distant, caused Remus to stir. He had been in a cold, damp forest. Running from something? No. Chasing something. 

The Three Soulmates of Pandora Lovegood: “Good morning, darling! I’ve made you a special breakfast for the special day!” Pandora said cheerily as she set a plate of eggs and heart-shaped pancakes on the table. 

Fragile Development: Regulus hates his fucking commute.

Hmm interesting! I seem to either start with a very sensory descriptive sentence, or jump right in to character dialog! 😆 Also, I'm actually impressed with myself that I've posted 10 works in less than two years. (Though that last one is about to be hidden for the Horrible Goose Fest because I never finished it. heh.)
