[crescent-nyx]

Jennie as your GF headcanon (SFW) - Dropped half of the letters or else it’s too long.

A- Affection: How affectionate is she with you?

Really affectionate in private. Jennie gets so much shit for everything. If she walks outside and steps on an ant, people will go feral, scrutinising why she stepped on that ant. Does she think she’s better than other living things? People always find something to hate her for. I think it’s netizens’ favourite pastime. So when she started dating you, she wanted to keep it low-key. She doesn’t want anyone to know, so even as much as hand-holding is off the table. At home though? Complete cuddle bear.

C- Cheeky: How cheeky is she?

A bit. She does goof around with you, pulls pranks, makes jokes… She’s just not like Jisoo or Lisa that play around 24/7. Jennie is pretty calm and she likes her quiet time. I don’t see her as the type to be bouncing off the wals from sun up to sun down.

E- Emotion: How comfortable is she expressing her emotions?

Jennie is very emotional and sensitive, and she can’t really hide that. She has no filter. She is very clear about everything… Her thoughts, what she says, her emotions, her opinions. She’s an open book. You can tell immediately when you’ve hurt her feelings. She makes herself very clear without saying much. You can just see it in her face. She also trusts you a lot. You’re the first one she comes crying to when anything goes wrong - anything at all. You’re always the first one to know, and the first one she allows to calm her down. You’re her shoulder to cry on, the one she will always come venting to, always seek advice from etc.

G- Gifts: Receiver or giver? What kind of gifts does she like?

Jennie is 100% a giver. She likes to make you happy. Whether that be by buying you something you pointed out to her a few weeks ago or making your favourite chocolate just because… She doesn’t really need a special occasion to spoil you. She just does it because it makes her happy to see you happy. As for her, she does like expensive gifts like a new perfume or a Chanel bag, but these are things she herself can buy. She prefers gifts that come from your heart. Like a photo album of the two of you or a scrapbook of your favourite memories, or a ‘100 reasons I love you’ book like she made for you for your birthday last year. Just anything like that.

I- I love you: Who said it first? When? How?

Jennie said it first… Rather quickly too… About on the fifth date. The both of you were stargazing. You had planned on just watching the sun going down at your place after dinner and then heading over to the cinema to watch this new movie that had come out. However, when the stars started appearing and the moon had come up, neither of you wanted to leave anymore. It was calming, healing if you will. Both of you just in your backyard, sitting on some beanbags with some snacks. You had downloaded an app, telling you which constellations were in the sky that night and where to see them. With Jennie it just came out. You were helping her spot Sirius, and she just couldn’t hold it in anymore. She just had to tell you.

“Y/N…”

“Yes?”

“I love this… You… I love you… And this.”

Yeah, it was awkward, but genuine.

K- Kiss: What was the first kiss like?

Really awkward as well. Everything you and Jennie did for the first time was awkward. This was no exception. You were both ready for that step. You both just uncomfortably shifted closer together and leaned in too quickly I guess, bumping your foreheads against each other. Eventually, you got over the awkwardness, but yeah… It was definitely memorable.

M- Memory: What’s her memory like? Does she remember things like birthdays or anniversaries?

Jennie remembers everything about everyone. This is both a blessing and a curse. If you’re trying to surprise her, don’t lie about where you’re going, don’t change your story because she will know. She knows what you ate, what you wore last week, at what hour you went to bed, and what you like 😏

O- On cloud nine: What is she like when she’s in love?

Overwhelming. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it eventually… But definitely overwhelming. She can be a lot. She wants to celebrate everything - 1 week anniversary, 1 month anniversary, 100 day anniversary, 200 day anniversary, 300 day anniversary, 1 year anniversary… But, hey… More gifts I suppose 🤷🏼‍♀️ Jennie will also just swoon over anything you do. Even if it’s the most basic shit ever, she will act like you saved the planet.

Q- Queen: Does she like to be pampered? The princess/queen treatment?

Yes, ma’am… Definitely, most definitely. Jennie LOVES getting pampered. Doesn’t matter how. Just be affectionate towards her. You can’t really go overboard with her. She loves it all - pet names, massages, home spa dates, you painting her nails… She loves getting your attention.

S- Security: How protective is she? Who is the protector?

You. Jennie gets so much shit, she kinda needs you to look out for her. However, she will gladly risk it all when it comes to you as well. Sure, she takes her career seriously, and it would break her if she had to step away from it, but for you, she’d do anything. But you are definitely her personal security guard.

U- Unity: What kind of wedding does she want? Does she even want a wedding to begin with?

Jennie definitely wants a fairytale type wedding. Something with only people you both know, yet lavish and gorgeous. She’d definitely spend her cash on it - everything. She wouldn’t settle for anything that’s not perfect. She’ll only get married once, so she wants to do it right, with the perfect cake, the perfect dress, the perfect food, the perfect people. Probably something like the wedding in Crazy Rich Asians but without the mean rich in-laws and toxicity.

W- Wildcard: Random headcanon.

Jennie talks in her sleep. It’s absolutely adorable. I don’t think she’ll ever know how many pictures and videos you have of her singing or talking in her sleep.

Y- Yearn: What are her cravings when she’s having a bad day? What makes her feel better?

You, Kuma and chocolate… A lot of chocolate. Even more chocolate… And you, all of you.

@wolfstarmicrofic

—

There’s no one who knows Sirius better than James, and there’s no one who knows James better than Sirius — it is how it is, and anyone who has spent two minutes in their presence would learn it, too.

So, obviously, when they got their hands on Polyjuice, they immediately decided to swap places without telling anyone, just to see if anyone would notice.

Truthfully, Sirius thinks Peter is the best bet — their friend is awfully observant, and somehow always manages to come to the right conclusion. Remus would, maybe, but it’s more of a fifty-fifty situation.

He’s using the opportunity to be James right now to quickly check something in the library — he has been banned until the end of the month after an ill-placed bit of mischief, and he needs the information now and not later.

A soft, almost hidden laugh catches his attention; he knows it well, as one of Remus’ main reasons for laughter. This one is a bit surprised — Sirius can picture the scrunch of his nose as the sound comes out of his throat without his consent, and the way he always hides it behind his hand afterward. Curious, he closes the book he was reading and follows the whispered conversation.

He stops before he can be seen; Remus is with one of the boys in the year before them — probably trying to get inside knowledge about OWLS — whose name Sirius doesn't remember. They’re sitting side-by-side, the fifth year crowding Remus’ personal space.

Remus is definitely bothered by it. He doesn’t like other people in his personal space, except for a very small number of people which Sirius is part of and this guy certainly is not. Remus is simply smiling at him because he doesn’t like to bother people and never says anything when he’s uncomfortable. Obviously.

“So, we could grab a Butterbeer together and—”

Sirius loudly drops the book on the table with a huge grin on his (James?) face.

“Remus! Just the man I wanted to see!”

Remus straightens up, immediately turning his attention to him, his smile now shining much more brighter.

“James!”

Ah! Take that, what’s-your-face. Remus likes him better. Or James. And James? Whatever, it's James, of course Remus likes both of them better.

“So, Hogsmeade this weekend! We’ll go together as usual, yeah? I wanted your advice over something I want to buy, you know…” He makes a vague gesture with his hand, and Remus nods along.

Of course, Sirius is not lying — James did mention wanting Remus’ advice over a new purchase he’s thinking about, and they always go together at Hogsmeade as a group. It’s just helping James along, being perfectly in sync with his best friend, and all of that. Also, Remus deserves better than what's-his-face's pathetic attempt.

“Sure, of course, James.” Remus is still smiling, looking up at him almost patiently; beside him, what’s-his-face looks annoyed.

“I was—” he starts.

Sirius claps his hands loudly. “Perfect! I’ll see you later, then, I have some things to take care of — you know how it is.”

Remus laughs, then, way more comfortable and fond than previously. “Of course, go on.”

James, toward the middle of their first year, has taken the habit of hugging them all goodbye. Sirius grew used to his father’s absentminded pats on his shoulders or head, of Regulus’ squeeze of his hands, of his mother arranging his hair and his clothes and his whole self to her liking, but not to hugs; it had been a thing and a half to learn how to hug someone properly. Peter’s pretty good at hugging, too, and Remus is more at ease receiving the hug than giving it — he’s always so awkward when he’s trying to comfort someone — but James’ hugs always make you feel safe and cared for in a way Sirius can’t explain.

So he tries to replicate it, now, just as James would do; he’s glad to feel Remus melting a big against him, and takes it as a victory.

“Alright,” he says then, taking the book back. “I’ll see you later!”

Remus waves him goodbye. As Sirius leaves, he hears what’s-his-face asking about his Butterbeer, and Remus’ vague answer of maybe another time, and feels surprisingly victorious.

His steps are way lighter as he joins James to their rendezvous point.

[quillkiller]

wait tell me more about fwb moonwater…..

ok so. this started as a conversation between me and my beloved sude @stillagoodwitch and then me and @sugarsnappeases couldn’t let it go..

also it started because me and sude hate moonwater and are wolfstar ride or dies who like to make regulus suffer :/ so i hope ur not expecting loving and sweet moonwater

regulus studies abroad. im thinking france or berlin ?? he’s doing academic resesrch all throughout europe and just never returns home

he meets remus and they start working/studying together because they’re very academically compatible. remus thinks regulus is hot. regulus thinks remus is hot. so they start fucking. there’s never really any feelings involve buy like they do like each other and they are friends

sirius is coming to visit :/ and this is how it all started. as ive said before it physically pains me to ship either remus or sirius with anyone but each other so we were like How do people write them in other pairings and then go about introducing them in a platonic setting ???? like how is remus going to date regulus and then meet his brother and not fall in love with him… no disrespect to moonwater shippers. i even see the potential. this is literally just a me problem

anyway. sirius is coming to visit for like a week. reg and sirius dont see each other that often. regs excited and sirius is excited ! but they’re also both worried and axious <3 bc they almost always end their visits on somewhat bad terms

reg and remus are working pretty closely together. i dont really know what they’re working on but i know they have to spend a lot of time together. so naturally reg invites remus to dinner with him and sirius. thinking remus can work as a bit of s buffer between them

sirius and remus meet and well. they fall in love in every universe i dont know what to tell you. it was written in the stars. remus thought he lucked out with the youngest black and now he meets the older black who’s so smart and sexy and rough around the edges and so very pretty and so very lovely and who looks delectable and who’s batting his eyelashes at remus without really meaning to. there’s just tension between them immediately. remus is so upset he didnt meet sirius first. sirius is upset because he can’t flirt with someone his brother is sleeping with

lots of late night conversations after regulus has fallen asleep. them meeting in the kitchen in the middle of the night. they’re thirsty or hungry or whatever. they’re smoking together. getting to know each other. always in the middle of the night. and they’re not really breaking any rules but they’re also not telling regulus about it so it feels like they’re breaking rules. neither of them want to name the reason why they cant let regulus know

sirius hates himself because that’s his little brother. he’s supposed to be better. he’s also supposed to want to be better. but he also resents him a bit. resents him for defending their parents. resents him for moving abroad. resents him for not taking his side. and he loves him more than anything but they come from a home where you had to fight cheat and steal to get things you wanted. and he wants remus but he loves regulus. but he already has regulus. he’ll always have regulus because regulus will always be his brother. a fate neither of them can escape. he’ll always love regulus because he can’t help it. he loves him when he hates him

they had to fight cheat and steal to get what they wanted but in addition to that they would also always have more than they ever needed. <- an excuse sirius uses to excuse his feelings for remus. regulus has his studies, friends, a life he likes, money, a nice flat and endless opportunities. he has more than he’ll ever need and sirius wants remus.

i also love this au because it’s such a character study of both black brothers and their nastier traits. how fucked up they are and how much they love each other but how being kind to each other doesn’t come naturally. how selfishness and greed is rooted in both of them

and! i love this au because its such an interesting remus study. how he’s also a bit fucked up and selfish and greedy. he knows he’s homewrecking a family but he just cant let sirius go. he’s not used to getting what he wants in life so when it’s presented he wont turn it down. a normal person would probably extract themselves from the situation but he DOESNT

^ because in no universe will sirius or remus ever be normal about each other. they’ll never not be completely unhinged about the other ever … and that is what i love about them.. they’d both do morally fucked up things to get to each other every single time. so remus can look past sirius fucking over his brother, and sirius can look past remus fucking over someone he was ’dating’

there were never any romantic feelings between regulus and remus and regulus is genuinely not that upset about losing him. its his brother. its all about his big brother and how he always gets what he wants. regulus couldnt care less about losing remus, but he’ll never forgive sirius. and that’s okay because there’s lots of things they’ll never forgive each other for. they still love each other because they cant help it. they’re the only ones who understand and that’s fine. they’ve done unforgivable things to each other but they’ll never hate each other more than they love each other. it all comes back to how deeply they understand each other no matter how often they wish they didn’t

so regulus doesn’t talk to sirius for a year and sirius doesn’t try to reach out. until one day sirius gets a phone call and remus has all but moved in with him at this point. sirius ends the call with ’okay, miss you, too’

who was that?

regulus

your brother?

no the other person i know called regulus

but? i—, shouldn’t he like hate you forever or something?

he’s my brother. he already hates me forever

END SCENE <3

[maxdibert]

Hi again!! so I was that anon that asked about Draco, but I loved reading your opinion on him :)

I think I'm slowly warming up to him as a character because he seems more realistic/complex compared to how Harry is treated like this Chosen One with unrealistic traits in the earlier books/movies. And ur right, he did certain questionable things but people forget that he was raised/fed propaganda about the Death Eaters and Voldemort's ideology, shaping his worldview and his Dad being the main giver of this propaganda. Plus, once he realizes what he did he shows guilt and reluctance, like in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, hinting at his internal conflict. Unlike Harry, whose heroism is idealized, Draco’s growth is more nuanced and flawed.

And idk why but Snape seems to be a better father figure, he seems to be the most likable teacher in the story— like, everyone else like everyone else like Dumbledore or McGonagall, while "great" in their own ways, feel distant or overly idealized + Dumbledore is way too cryptic. Teachers like Trelawney are sympathetic since all magic is controlled/dumbed down by a stupid Ministry. Snape's complexity, despite his flaws, makes him feel more relatable and grounded + Harry's dad did bully him.

I am developing an idea (for a larger multifandom story arc) where Draco ends up being fully sick of the whole wizard conflict, and Snape too- so they end up running away from the HP world, through a disappearing act right when Harry tries to retaliate after Dumbledore died. Now, this isn't to spite JKR or anything but an idea I came up with if Draco ended up choosing neutrality and rejecting the war's ideologies.

Anyways, I'd like to hear ur thoughts ^^

Helloooo! Good morning btw hahahah

Well, I’ve always seen Draco as a modern version of Regulus (which isn’t surprising since, after all, they’re family). Both are boys raised under a set of ideas they never questioned, but when the moment came to confront what it truly meant to put those ideas into action, they realized it involved doing things they didn’t like. This is something that happens a lot in real life and feels very realistic to me. I don’t think Draco completely let go of his own prejudices or conservative ideas, but there’s a huge difference between having problematic thoughts and actually wanting to exterminate people. A 12-year-old like Draco might spout off absolute barbarities he heard at home (like wishing Hermione would die), but he’s a 12-year-old kid who has no clue about the nonsense he’s saying. He doesn’t understand what death means or what it’s like to see someone dead. Once he experiences that years later, it horrifies him terribly.

Draco is an incredibly realistic character, and that’s why I find him likable.

Now, Harry is a much more complex issue because, in general, he’s an unrealistic character. His way of dealing with trauma—pretending everything is fine—is unrealistic. The fact that he doesn’t suffer from PTSD after living with the Dursleys is unrealistic. The way he conveniently holds grudges against certain characters but forgives Sirius overnight for attacking Ron in PoA while trying to catch Pettigrew—without even a proper apology—is also unrealistic. But in the end, it’s just Rowling deliberately and conveniently ignoring the consequences certain characters’ actions might have on Harry because it doesn’t suit her for readers to question whether those characters are morally dubious. She also doesn’t want to delve into Harry’s internal conflicts regarding them. It’s the same with Lupin being a total piece of crap to Tonks. It’s completely glossed over because Rowling wants to keep portraying him as a saintly, good guy. So, abandoning his pregnant wife gets resolved in two pages, and then we all move on as if nothing happened, lol.

I’m not sure I fully buy into Snape as a father figure, but I’m also not sure I completely reject it. I think Severus was very childish due to his traumas and the emotional immaturity they caused. This is evident in how he interacts with his students. The jabs he throws at them often reflect an adolescent mindset—he’s stuck in that stage because he couldn’t overcome a series of events. And then there’s the added layer of being “trapped” in the place where all those things happened to him. His reactions when triggered are those of a teenager who hasn’t yet learned to control himself.

His moments of camaraderie with the Slytherins clearly echo what his adolescence must have been like—encouraging the strong in his house. Except now, he’s the strong one, the one with power and authority. This creates a stark contrast and a strong dissonance with his other role, which is protecting the students—something he takes very seriously. Honestly, Dumbledore is a cynical, negligent jerk who doesn’t give a damn about his students unless they serve his future plans. McGonagall seems to have stayed out of all the plots Dumbledore and Severus had going, so we can’t really blame her. But Severus was tasked with protecting the children, and he genuinely protected them. In that sense, he might be the most responsible adult at Hogwarts, maybe even the only professor truly concerned about ensuring none of them ended up dead. However, this contrasts heavily with the way he treats them, which is hard for readers to understand if they don’t look beyond his image as a mean teacher.

What I do believe is that he cared about Draco. Just as his treatment of Harry reflected his unresolved issues with James and his guilt over what happened with Lily, I also think Severus projected onto Draco the gratitude he felt toward Lucius for probably being the first to accept him into Slytherin, opening many doors for him. In fact, I think Severus must have been quite close to the Malfoys on a personal level. Narcissa trusted him enough to ask him to make the Unbreakable Vow and to place her son’s life in his hands, knowing she would do anything for Draco. That suggests a close relationship behind the scenes.

Anyway, I don’t think Draco ever left the wizarding world. I could see him keeping a low profile, wanting to stay out of the spotlight, and focusing on managing his inheritance or pursuing activities that didn’t require him to go out much. But I don’t see him leaving the magical world entirely. He received a very specific type of education, and while his ideas about exterminating Muggle-borns likely vanished after the war, he was still an aristocrat with no reason to reject his lifestyle. I do see him adopting a much more moderate and cautious outlook, though.

Severus, on the other hand, would’ve left. Severus would’ve locked himself away in some remote place where no one would think to look, dedicating himself to his studies and potions, and telling everyone to go to hell. Severus was utterly fed up, but he didn’t have any options.

[greenerteacups]

Hi GT, I was reading one of your wonderful responses and you mentioned you don't love what they did to Remus, and I have to say I 100% agree. In my opinion his relationship with tonks is weird (regardless of whether people think he had chemistry with Sirius) like he's at least 10 years older than her and he tries to leave her and it just seems like he goes along with HER infatuation without really caring about her very much. It also puts Tonks back into JKR's frequent dynamic for women, which is "badass who really wants to be with a guy who doesn't seem to appreciate her much" (see Hermione/Ron).

Do you have any further thoughts on that? I always found JKR's writing about women in relationships/who want relationships really weird. You definitely do it better.

JKR has many strengths as a writer, but I don't think anyone would say her romances are one of them. I think a lot of authors either consciously or subconsciously look down on romance as a genre because it's associated with sensuality and frivolousness, but writing and selling the idea that two people should and do want to kiss each other is like, really fucking hard to do, and it requires a certain set of skill checks as an author that not everyone has. Just like writing good horror or good fantasy, good romance has tenets and rules and things you can do to get the audience on board with you, and JKR didn't execute a lot of those things (to my satisfaction, YMMV) in the books. Bad romance is also a high-stakes problem, because it risks flattening out your characters and pitching them into OOC territory if the audience doesn't buy that the dynamic evolution is natural. But again, that's something you don't know if you haven't written romance, or tried to, before.

Mostly, you have to really lean into the vulnerability of the thing. Romance is silly and goofy and embarrassing. It makes you say dumb things and act in dumb ways. It can't be ironic or chilled or demure. At some point, to make a real human connection, someone has to get down, take off their dignity, and bare the rotten core of themselves. When we propose, we kneel on the ground. We get dirty. And all authors have a great terror of embarrassing themselves. They're doing something tremendously vulnerable; of course they want people to think they're cool and intelligent. It's embarrassing to put yourself in the head of a 15-year-old boy with a crush. It's embarrassing to write about a suitor earnestly confessing their love, because — what if this is too much? What if it's corny, what if it breaks the audience's suspension of disbelief? What if my readers are laughing at me? What if I'm the butt of the joke?

Anyway, I think a lot of really great books have terrible romance subplots for that reason. In The Great Gatsby, we never actually see Gatsby and Daisy alone together. We get their story second-hand, from people who can deliver it in a cool, reflective tone of mystery; we don't see them undressed, undone, emptying their hearts to one another. And Nick and Jordan, the romance we actually get to see develop, are easily the weakest plot in the book. Meanwhile, authors like Tolstoy have an incredible gift for writing romance that feels right, and is sensual without verging into purple prose. But Tolstoy is one of the greatest writers of all time. JKR wrote some very good books that a lot of people loved very much, but for her, the romances were accessories to the story. They weren't a focus. I'm certain she cared about Remus and Tonks's relationship, in the same way she cared about Ron and Hermione's relationship. Both take up too much space to explain otherwise.

TLDR: Writing romance is hard because it's really easy to fuck up, even if you care about it. I don't know that JKR put all that much thought into selling us on chemistry and interpersonal dynamics of the couples she threw together; I think she writes for plot, and the couples emerged as a part of that. That means the couples that don't necessarily make sense on paper lose out majorly because the audience doesn't know exactly what they're rooting for, and the couples that do make sense on paper lack a certain... I dunno, va-va-voom.

MATCHUP TRADE WITH @witchthewriter !!

A/N: this took me a bit to get out :,) thank you for your patience as well I’ve been busy a lot but I’ve been able to write this and get it out I hope you enjoy this!

Your Harry Potter match is…

Sirius Black!

RUNNER-UPS: severus snape, lucius malfoy, viktor krum

• You got Sirius Black! I felt like he would be a perfect match for you when I was going through your information. You guys match and scale each other out so well and I just had to put you with him.

• You guys are both very good people and sometimes you guys can be misunderstood sometimes but you’ll always have each other’s backs no matter what. When he first met you he instantly fell hard, you looked so pretty and when he got to talk to you for the first time it got even better for him.

• He appreciates you so much when you stand up for him when he’s being blamed for something that wasn’t his fault (even if he was wrong, you would still stand up for him but scold him afterwards).

• I feel like he would love to get his tattoo’s done, preferably if you done it on him, it would be so much better. You guys would definitely own more cats together since your an animal person and I also think that he’s an animal person as well.

• He will participate in any hobbies you do, he would definitely wanna try some witchcraft with you a lot and get good at it just for you <3 You guys always listen to music when your heading out for dates, whoever drives gets to chose the music, those were one of the only rules you and sirius made together.

Your Game Of Thrones match is…

Jon Snow!

RUNNER-UPS: cersei lannister, daenerys targaryen, margaery tyrell.

• I have matched you with Jon Snow! This felt like a more easier choice for me to go with and I feel like he would treat you so well like the queen you are fr.

• He’s definitely the type who’s gonna be protective of you no matter what… your personality and your hobbies and just your passion for every single thing you love just really attracted him to you, like a magnet for example. Whenever you get overwhelmed because of something you can always go to him and he’ll help you calm down and do anything for you that you may need.

• He loves hearing your jokes and laugh, I feel like he would try to make jokes to see you laugh but ultimately fail, which makes you laugh, so that’s a success for him. He adores your intelligence as well.

• When he first learnt that you do witchcraft he really didn’t mind much, he thought it was cool but that’s it, he usually watches you while you do it anyways and sometimes participates when you really ask him to.

• He would definitely buy you many animals if you asked him to. He would definitely love getting gifts for you that you like to see the reaction on your face, it’s so worth it for him to buy something for you and get you excited.

[marlesbian]

How i perceive Sirius Black

Starting with the basics

- gay he loved men

- genderfluid

- graysexual

- androginy THEY ARE ANDROGINY

- any pronouns (preference for using different pronouns in the same sentence)

- Has BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and ADHD

- french/east easian/plain white idk i like these 3 hcs

- 1,78m tall (told everyone was 1,80m)

- Sirius was trained in ballroom dancing, piano, violin and had etiquette lessons as a child. Speaks French, English, German and Russian. She can play almost any instrument tbh.

- Loved to paint, write poetry and draw. (drew mostly on black and grey). Sirius also kept a journal he learned to charm so only his eyes could read it.

- Favorite band was Queen, also loved Bowie, KISS, Led Zeppelin, T. Rex and all of glam rock (later found a passion for punk) and secretly loved Tchaikovsky. Found muggle music through Andromeda. She was like her older sister and his biggest protector, he was destroyed when she was disowned. She kept buying sirius vinyls and sending it to her while she was at school.

- Sirius was a natural born rebel, they defied everything just by existing. "My existence is a scandal" was his motto.

- Sirius loved to read, but at home was only allowed to read russian and french classics like Dostoevsky, Victor Hugo, Tolstoy, Dumas etc.

- Once their uncle Alphard gave him Oscar Wilde books and that became her whole life. She loved 'The ghost of Canterville' and 'The Picture of Dorian Grey'. Sirius never really talked to other ppl about liking books though.

- At home, her life was shit, of course. Her parents were abusive and it started really young, they were manipulative and narcissistic, neglected Sirius's emotions and feelings, and prohibited him from showing their true self. But the abuse was discreet, quiet, it wasn't obvious to him. She knew it wasn't alright but also couldn't recognize it was abuse, to her, their parents just wanted what was best for him, wanted him to be their best self. Her mom still told him she loved them, they still gave star things, they treated them well and like shit at the same time.

- As Sirius was growing up the abuse kept getting worse, they started using curses and hexes and beating him, hurting her in many ways, but she thought he deserved it because that would help them become a better person, she still understood the abuse as care. As he turned 13 he was thought dark arts at home stars parents used his wants and needs as a way to control her, she always had to do something for her family to get basic human treatment. As she got older they started getting more violent, using unforgivables and curses that hurt her physically.

- Walburga was literally one of the worst people to walk on this earth, she was bitter, heartless, prejudiced, violent, ruthless, she was an awful human being and Sirius HATED her. Walburga was obsessed with keeping up appearances, making the family name justice, being better and superior to everyobody else, she had these delusions of grandeur, of maintaining a superiority status. He was scared she could become like her mother one day, that she was as insane as the woman who gave him life but also literally tortured and tried to kill her own children just for the sake of "the family name".

- Her relationship with Regulus was very complicated. When Reg was born Sirius loved him so much, he couldn't even explain. Reg was everything Sirius could never be. He was everything her parents wanted her to be, he was quiet, polite, patient, never spoke out of turn, he did everything his parents wanted him no without question. Sirius could feel in all the ways their parents acted that they loved Reg more, that Reg was what they actually wanted.

- Sirius hated herself for it because she hated his brother for something he could not control but they also loved him more than anything. So their relationship was unstable, some nights they went to each other for comfort, others they wouldnt even share looks. Around 9/8yo Reg told Sirius that he just always knew he had to play a part, to pretend in order to survive in that family, that he had to be literally a perfect child. For most of her life, Sirius did love his brother more than anything. After Reg grew up and started to get more brainwashed by his parents, they drifted apart he resented Sirius, he despised him for being a blood traitor, for being queer, for being wrong. (Abused children deal with abuse in different ways so i would never say regulus was a bad person, he was victim) Sirius had to leave and it was the right thing to do.

- Only started to have longer hair by the end of 4th year

- He was a happy child, a little star, brighting people's days, always laughing and being just loud. Her mother hated it. Orion was just neglectful and complacent with Walburga.

- Sirius was very loud, just a loud person, who talked loud, walked making noise, talked with their whole body

- His presence was always noticed, because she could not shut up. They always knew something was wrong in the way her family worked, every night she cried looking at the stars wishing to be saved, because she knew life could be better, she always felt something was missing, like a void in his chest, like he wasn't complete. That void was filled with James. He felt how real normal people love for the first time with James. He was the brother she wanted Reg to be, James was supportive of his every action and trait, they could hug and show affection.

- James was so much more than just a best friend, he was truly Sirius' brother, their relationship wasn't platonic nor romantic, their loved surpassed these notions we have of love. Their love just was. Nothing could compare to Remus though, he was her soulmate, her other half, they were connected by the red string, they were born to be together. He probably fell in love with Remus the second they met.

- Sirius was sensitive and also strong, she cried himself to sleep sometimes bc he didn't wanna bother anyone. He used humor to hide the fact that she hated himself, he was always cracking jokes and making people laugh, because that made her feel loved.

- Sometimes she lost her sense of self, she dissociated and wondered who she even was, if that person was actually them, if he wasnt pretending just to cause a scene, those days she became distant, nobody recognized him. He was agressive and impulsive and somehow was always hurting the people she cared most.

- Some days she felt like a complete failiure and waste of space, other days she felt he was better than every other living human, some days she loved who she was, others he wanted to die and be born as someone else. He didn't know how he felt about himself, nothing in her was constant, except the change. She didn't know how she felt, it was empty and simultaniously overwhelming because she felt everything and nothing at the same time. She was insecure and over confident, rude and also sweet and polite.

-His boggart was being left by everyone he loved.

- There was a time in his life where she treated everyone like shit on purpose because she was convinced that everyone would leave him and some point so it would be "her choice". That didnt last and it was awful, he felt awful, she cried every day, she began to self harm and hate himself.

- She hated being impulsive and always hurting people. She hated that sometimes his mind kinda shut off and he lost control of what he was doing and saying, hated that she couldn't remember it after, he hated that on these times she always did the worst things imaginable.

- Sirius dressed fem and masc, depends on the day and what he was feeling, they wore lots of leather jackets, croptops, low waisted jeans, oversize jackets, coats and sweaters. loved something showing chest, very flamboyant and sparkly. Their color palette was black, red, grey, purple and dark brown.

- Sirius loved tattoos and piercings. She got her first tattoo on sixth year, along with Remus. She had many ear piercings, nipple piercing and a stud nose (with a ruby on it)

- The relationship with his sexuality was complicated, he always knew she didn't like women the way boys were supposed to. In Hogwarts, he did everything to show everyone that he, in fact, did like girls. Until fifth year, she just couldn't take it anymore. she did hook up with some random girls just for show (nothing sexual, he couldn't physically put themselves through that). But then he met Benjy and that's when it all changed, Benjy helped him discover who she was, what they liked, what felt good and comfortable and what didn’t, helped them with the whole gender thing (Sirius did not give a fuck, sometimes he felt like a boy, sometimes not and that was it, couldn't care less about how ppl referred to or perceived her). So basically the only people he ever had anything with were Remus and Benjy. 

-Sirius found it easy to hate and dislike things and people and she hated herself most of all for it. Because good people can't hate, good people only love, good people don't get angry and destructive. Therefore, in her mind, he was a terrible person.

- Sirius felt like a mistake sometimes, like a waste of space, like he was useless and could have done more to save his brother, to save her cousin, to be loved by their family. For a long time, that was all she wanted, that's what he would see in the mirror of Erised, him being her true self in front of her family, dressed however he pleased, and their family behind smiling, supporting and loving her. 

- His boggart was himself, with the dark mark on her arm. The slytherin green tie, pale skin, hair all short and well cut. His biggest fear was being evil, ending up being the horrible person the voice inside their head kept saying he was.

- His biggest dream for years was being loved by his family, but becoming what they wanted was her biggest fear. She had always been torn.

- James was the one that made them realize that her family was fucked up, that they were wrong, that Sirius was enough and that he did not need to change in order to be treated like a person, that her family wasn't worth it and that she had to let go. It wasn’t easy, it took James five long years, but on December 1975 Sirius came all bloody to the Potters, left her family behind, and began to heal. 

- Sirius was unstable, as established here, he hated herself for it. Sometimes she felt like she only did the wrong thing, like she was rotten and couldn’t be fixed, like she would die being a mistake like he could never be loved and never truly love.

- Sirius just has a very androgynous feminine aura, loved to explore gender expression, and never really cared what people said.

- Sirius Black and Remus Lupin are connected by the red string, they are head over heels in love with each other, they ARE love. Their relationship isn’t toxic, its beautiful and pure and genuine and sweet, it may have had its ups and downs but they never treated each other poorly. Even when they were mad or fighting, if one needed help or comfort, the other put everything aside to come to their aid. They were always touching and holding hands and exchanding looks, their love was so strong you could feel it in the air, everyone around them could see it, it was undeniable.

Isle of Dogs (I)

Chapter 1 : Poker Night

Hi everyone! Here I am with a new series! It’s my first Wolfstar fic, I don’t know why it took me so long to write for these two idiots, when I’ve spent so many years reading about them! But better late than never. Before you ask, yes, the Isle of Dogs is a real place in London, and yes, I’ve chosen to set my story there only because there was ‘dog’ in the name and it made me think of Sirius, and as I was looking for a neighbourhood where I could set my story, I found that name hilarious. No other reason for me to spend three hours on Google Maps, yes, I’m sane, I promise.

I hope you enjoy my story. Tell me what you think about it!

****

Pairing: Wolfstar – Sirius Black x Remus Lupin

Warnings: none! Modern AU, tattoo artist x bookshop owner AU

Summary: Sirius and Remus have been kind of in love for a while, but are both too scared to confess their feelings. However, everything changes when their neighbourhood is threatened by a new real estate project. But if they might fail in their fight against the City, they could also find something sweeter along the way.

Word Count: 2759

It was a lazy afternoon, like Mondays always were.

Cloudy, grey day over London. Something about Mondays that lingered in the air, something reluctant and lazy. It was almost spring, with the first flowers blooming in the nearby gardens. Busy streets and cars humming outside. People hurrying to work, and some walking leisurely by. At the far end of the little square, a group of old women carrying bags filled with yarns were entering the Community Centre, followed by a young man with a leather jacket, long dark hair and something dangerous about him. A pair of knitting needles were peeking out of the black tote bag he was carrying. It was barely two in the afternoon, people were coming back from lunch and opening shops again. Around Castalia Square, the row of small shops was filled with busy people unlocking doors and getting ready for the afternoon. A flower shop, a coffee shop, a tattoo parlour, a book shop, a small grocery store… It felt busy and yet it was only Monday. Slow, reluctant Monday.

A group of children ran across the square, aiming towards the bakery at the end of the street to buy sweets and pastries for the afternoon. They made the ginger woman opening the door of the coffee shop laugh as they waved at her despite their hurry. She stole a glance inside the tattoo parlour next door, and blushed fiercely when the young man inside waved at her, straightening the lopsided glasses upon his nose.

Meanwhile, in the book shop, the door was unlocked, but everything was still quiet. Slow, reluctant Monday…

It made Remus heave a sigh, actually. He still had his brown coffee cup in his hand, that he had bought in the coffee shop nearby. It was a quiet hour in his bookshop, with only few clients visiting him so early in the afternoon. Still, he had plenty of things to do. He had new books to set on shelves, some dusting to do over the right corner of his shop. In the back, Peter was organizing the Science-Fiction section, and cleaning the shelves.

He almost jumped as the bell over the front door rang, and he turned in a hurry, relaxing as he recognized Dorcas stepping inside his shop.

“Hey, Rem! Forgot to ask you when you dropped by earlier, but are you coming to play poker tonight?”

“Sure! Who’s hosting this time again?”

“The tattoo boys. We’ll probably get very drunk, better not plan on driving after that!” she joked, the piercing in her nostril shining in the yellowish light of the shop.

“Oh dear… it’s going to be a wild night, then!”

“As if poker night was ever quiet,” Peter scoffed, joining his two friends before the door.

They could hardly deny that statement.

“There will be much to discuss tonight, though,” added Dorcas, crossing her arms before her chest. “Have you heard about that new real estate project? Some say it’s about our neighbourhood.”

“I thought no details had come out, yet?” Remus answered with a frown and a shake of his head.

The door behind Dorcas opened, and this time it was to reveal a real client. She shrugged, aiming for the door again.

“We’ll see. It’s Monday, Sirius will probably get all the gossip from the grandmas!” she added with a laugh, nodding in the direction of the community centre.

They all let out a laugh, before Peter would focus on the newcomer, listening to his question.

Meanwhile, Remus was trying not to think about Sirius Black at all. Because every time he did, it made his heart jump to picture his crooked smile…

It was a merry evening, like Mondays always were.

It was dark outside already. It wasn’t that late though, barely eight. Dorcas and Marlene were fighting over the last piece of pizza, seizing the excuse to kiss each other an awful lot. Peter and James were busy setting up the game and bickering, while Lily and Remus were lost in a conversation about this new Sally Rooney book that should come out soon. Lily was trying to be discreet as she rested her hand on James’s thigh, but the grin on her boyfriend’s face gave them away easily. Caradoc was late, as always, but he arrived with crisps in his arms from his store, and so, as usual, everyone forgave him. It was the moment Sirius chose to reappear with a bottle of whiskey and a pile of glass shots. Everyone cheered at the sight.

It was merry. Merry and quiet and familiar, almost domestic. It was a tradition. Every Monday evening, the group of friends gathered in one of the shops they owned around this small square to play poker, drink wine or stronger spirits, and talk about their week or the new gossips spreading across their neighbourhood.

Some of them lived in the apartments set above the shops, in the white buildings that sheltered their small businesses, but some lived in the neighbourhood, in tiny houses or apartments in the adjacent streets. All lived nearby though, so it was okay for them to let loose on these evenings and drink a little more than what was considered cautious or reasonable.

It was merry and familiar, reassuring. A happy routine that had settled between the neighbours almost a year before. It was the highlight of the week for many of them. It was simple, just a pizza or some Chinese food before playing cards and laughing an awful lot.

When Sirius took a seat between James and Remus, he couldn’t help but steal a glance at the man on his left. He found Remus cute. Very much so, actually. With his oversized jumper, and the freckles on his cheeks, his lopsided grin and the white scars that ran across his skin. He found him cute, with his chocolate eyes and his quiet voice, and his peaceful aura that never failed to calm down everyone around him.

He found Remus a little bit more than cute, actually, but there was so much truth Sirius’s heart could take. Besides, it was dangerous. Because they were friends, because they belonged in a group of friends that would be forever broken if things went ill between them. And because… because Sirius knew that if he let himself fall for this guy next to him, he would fall too hard. And he was kind of a coward sometimes…

He cleared his throat, pushing away a strand of hair that had escaped his bun and was teasing his cheek as he focused on the drinks again, pouring the alcohol in tiny glasses. And Remus couldn’t help but steal a glance at him. Because he found him unbearably handsome under the neon light of his tattoo parlour, with the ink on his skin peeking through the buttons of his black shirt left open, with his dark hair held in a messy bun, with his stormy eyes and this freckle under his right eye that was unbearably lovely for some mysterious reason. But Remus looked away quickly, because he couldn’t let himself feel this way for one of his friends. It was ridiculous, really. Because they were friends, because Sirius was unable to handle a relationship and Remus was well aware of that. And because if he let himself fall for this man next to him, Remus knew he would fall too hard. And he was kind of a coward sometimes…

He helped Sirius pass the alcohol around while the game finally began. It was just banter and playfulness for a while, until conversations settled on their lives, their jobs, their families... although, the banter was never too far away.

“Marls, stop cheating!” Peter complained, laughing nonetheless, while the woman next to him was leaning to peer at his cards.

“You’re insufferable, babe,” Dorcas shook her head, a fond smile on her lips.

“You want to know what Peter’s cards are? I’ll make it cheap for you,” she replied to her girlfriend, something flirtatious in her voice now.

“Hmmm… and what could that price be?”

“Marls, if you answer with something naughty out loud, I swear to God, I’ll kick you out of my shop,” James warned his friend, making everyone laugh.

She leaned to whisper something into Dorcas’s ear, and judging by the size of her grin, Marlene was right not to say it out loud.

Meanwhile, James was trying to be discreet while holding Lily’s hand under the table, but no one was fooled. Sirius often claimed that if these two weren’t so cute, they would have been kicked out of the group for being so obnoxiously in love…

“Well, I could pay that price easily,” Dorcas answered her girlfriend. “Not sure you would handle it though…”

Marlene choked on her whiskey, and all around the table laughed. Sirius dramatically rolled his eyes.

“Oh, come on, now! Get a room! I swear, if you keep on flirting like that I’ll be the one to kick you out.”

“Well, in that case, we’d better stop,” Marlene answered, laughing.

But Dorcas knew how to get her revenge instead.

“Hey, you haven’t even told us about this date of yours, Sirius!” she exclaimed, forgetting everything about the game and not playing anymore at all. “How did it go with that guy… Alex?”

“Alex? That was three weeks ago, keep up!” Sirius replied, making James roll his eyes. “No, last week I went out with Emma.”

“And?”

“And… she was amazing in bed.”

It was Caradoc’s turn to choke on his drink, making everybody laugh.

Remus tried to ignore the tugging at his heart… he downed his entire shot of whiskey to do so, but it wasn’t a full success…

“Right… and? Are you going to see her again?”

“Nah… she wasn’t that interesting,” Sirius shook his head.

“Why am I not surprised?” Marlene rolled her eyes.

“Well, it’s easy for the two of you! You’ve found each other, you annoying lovebirds… not everyone is so lucky!”

“Are you sure you’re not at all the problem, Sirius? You and the fact that you don’t want to settle down?”

But Sirius’s smile faltered, and he grew unusually quiet. Marlene bit her tongue, knowing she had touched a nerve.

But his crooked smile was soon back on his lips.

“I like to have fun, what’s wrong with that?”

“Nothing, nothing…”

“Well, Emma was fun enough, but not the kind I would settle for.”

“Right… so… any plans for the week.”

“Actually, I’m taking Martha to the park on Saturday, if you really want to know,” Sirius answered, picking up some crisps from the bowl at the centre of the wooden table.

“Martha? Who is she? How did you meet?”

“You know Martha!” Sirius frowned. “She’s my one true love.”

“What?”

By Sirius’s side, James and Remus were trying not to laugh too loudly. They were surprised that Marlene was falling for Sirius’s stupid joke…

“Yes! Martha! Blue eyes, amazing sense of humour! And you should see her knitting techniques! She wants to see the farm on Sunday, so I’m taking her on a date.”

“She knits?”

“Of course, every Monday, with me.”

“But… I thought only old women were there…”

“Martha might be 86, it’s still rude to say that she’s old!”

Everyone exploded with laughter, and Sirius faked outrage, making everyone laugh even harder.

“Don’t insult my one true love!”

“I can’t believe you’ve never met Martha, she’s fantastic,” Remus shook his head.

“Ha! See! She truly is wonderful!”

But Sirius seemed to remember something important all of a sudden, and asked his friends to grow quiet again.

“I almost forgot to tell you! The girls told me something very strange this afternoon…”

“I still can’t believe you spend your Monday afternoons knitting scarves with grandmas…” Peter mocked, earning a scowl from Sirius.

“Oh, shut up! It helps me relax, alright?” Sirius snapped.

“Alright, alright, what did they say? Some interesting gossip?” Lily eagerly interrupted him.

But Sirius shook his head.

“Becky’s grandson works for the City Department. And apparently, there’s a new major project for our neighbourhood.”

“Really? What kind?”

“The kind to build an awful lot of offices.”

Lily rolled her eyes.

“Where would they do that, anyway? Not around here, they’ll probably go closer to Canary Wharf.”

“Apparently, not. They’re talking about buying houses around St John’s Park.”

“Really? “

“Yeah… and she said that they were aiming for buildings. Like… proper towers.”

“Of course, they won’t do that,” James shook his head. “Here? In this neighbourhood? Nah, we’re not fancy enough for that. Besides, why would they build a skyscraper here?”

“I’m just telling you what she told me. And she said that they wanted to develop this part of town, like an extension of Canary Wharf.”

“That’s bullshit, mate,” Caradoc shook his head.

Sirius raised his hands, shrugging.

“Hey, I’m just the messenger. But I reckon that we should keep an eye out, cause that whole thing sounds like an awful lot of bullshit.”

“Let’s hope she exaggerated her grandson’s words,” Remus replied, closing this subject for the night.

The game didn’t end before two more hours, it was almost midnight when the group of friends finally called it a night. James locked the shop while Lily waited for him to go home with him. Remus lived above his bookshop, but Sirius walked with him still, even for just a few more steps, using the excuse that his house on Cardale Street was in this direction too. Remus was only half-fooled, but he didn’t protest. After all, he did enjoy the sight of the streetlights painting Sirius’s features golden.

Sirius took a cigarette, and offered one to Remus, but he declined. He always did.

He took a long drag, breathing in deeply the smoke, letting it fill up his lungs, while Remus was busy studying the black nail polish on Sirius’s fingers as he held his cigarette to his lips.

And he hated himself for it. He hated himself for it because Sirius was unreachable, and he knew it…

“Need help with the delivery tomorrow?” Sirius asked, his words a little slurred because of the whiskey he had been drinking all night.

“Well… if you have some free time around noon, I can’t say I wouldn’t need a hand. Tuesdays are always busy with these deliveries…”

“Getting new books is always fun though!”

“Sure, still… an awful lot of heavy boxes to carry around.”

“Hmm… well, I’ll give you hand at noon, then.”

“If you do, I’ll make you this pasta dish you like so much.”

“Ha, Rem!  Now, you’re talking! You sure know how to butter me up!”

He rose his cigarette to his lips again, and Remus hated the way he was unable to look away when he puffed out a white cloud of smoke…

“Right… that’s nice of you to offer your help.”

“Anything for you, Remus.”

They exchanged a smile. They had stopped walking, had already reached their destination. Still, they lingered there for a little longer, under the yellowish light of the lampposts.

The night was chilly and smelled of gasoline and rain. Nearby, some flowers had begun blossoming, it added something sweet to the scent of the street.

And Remus didn’t like at all the way his heart was beating faster because of Sirius’s words. He should have known better, should have pushed the thought away. He was just a friend…

This was just a crush. That’s what he kept telling himself. This was just a crush, it would pass…

“I’ll see you tomorrow, then,” Remus shot Sirius a smile, trying to hide how nervous he was all of a sudden. “Goodnight.”

He turned towards the door, almost in a hurry, almost as if he was running away. Sirius wasn’t sure. Had he said something wrong?

“Goodnight, Rem!”

But the young man turned around before closing the door, and he offered Sirius a little wave. So, as Sirius waved back at him with an amused smile, he reckoned it wasn’t too bad.

Remus was cute. Annoyingly so. Really, really cute…

Sirius lifted his cigarette to his lips once more, took a long inhale, staring at Remus’s door. When he released the smoke trapped in his lungs, he did so in a sigh, before turning on his heels and heading home.

This was just a crush. Anyway, Remus was so…

He was too good. Remus was too good for someone like him.

Better think that this was just a crush then, just a silly crush. It would pass, eventually.

I saw your post about Regulus’s love interests and their categories and I gotta tell you, I choked when I read that the opportunists typically resemble Sirius and Walburga. Regulus is really living up to the claim that purebloods are all interrelated.

Someone: So why did you start dating me?

Regulus, distracted by homework and thus not exactly paying attention to how batshit this will sound: Because you remind me of my brother

Someone: *lady nervously saying “what the fuck” gif*

Average man grows up to marry his own mother factoid actually a statistical error. Regulus Black, who has grown up to marry a version of his mother in an infinite amount of AU's over and over again was an outlier and should not have counted.

Regulus is really just the poster boy for the Oedipal complex and Sirius inherited his mother's temperament so 🤷I don't think he's aware that he's picking people who are similar to his mother/brother, it just sort of ends up happening that way.

I do imagine scenarios in which Regulus is courting someone and makes comments that he considers perfectly normal but that has everyone else giving him side eye. Like, "you are almost as pretty as my mother". Or buying his girl perfume and it turns out that's the scent his mother wears.

The funny thing about him picking partners that are similar to Sirius is that he is competitive with Sirius. So when he notices that they're similar to Sirius it makes him worried that they will like Sirius better than they like him. Poor thing lmao.

Also, bless you for reading that post, I had so much fun making it lol.

[lemme-just-oops]

Can you do the Arcana Twilight boys reacting to mc who loves giving them affection but when they get affection they cry because they are the one who always gives affection please?

Hope this isn't too much! Have a great day!

Alpheratz: This giant can be lazy, and likes his personal space. But even he knows to show appreciation to those he holds dear. When he realizes that he just made you tear up, he believes that he insulted you without realizing. Asks what the matter is and will softly wipe away every tear.

Arcturus: He will not leave you alone until you understand that you are worthy of being loved and appreciated. The road there will be long and exhausting, but he will make sure you give yourself the positive attention that you need, every day.

Pollux: NO. He will fight your tears away by hugging you so tightly, your body will stop functioning for the entire time. Sends you motvational quotes every few days because they help him with his confidence and may help you learn to see your worth too.

Sirius: He understands in what environments you will blossom and which ones let you whither. He is not physically affectionate, but he knows how to make anyone believe his words. So when he tells you of how you are the morning rays in his darkest nights, they may cause you to tear up, but he will tell you that he means every word of it. Might also guide you in a different direction in life, where even the people around you will treat you positively, but he would never confess that he does this.

Spica: Every evening at 18:30, you are to meet him from now on and just listen to him as he tells you all the things he is proud of. Even if it is just small things that do not mean a lot to you, he notices and he wants you to know how wonderful your uniqueness is. And with that set schedule, he will have you cry but get used to being shown affection, while also able to rant on about you.

Vega: He is really sorry for making you cry, and will hold back for a moment. Asks you if you are uncomfortable and if you want him to take a step back, just in case you feel overwhelmed and need space for yourself. Even if you assure him that everything is fine, he will take it slow. Telling you that you look better one day, buying you something another. He hates seeing you cry, even if they are tears of joy, and wants to avoid thism

[Author notes]

I wrote these ones first, but then I realized that I misread the prompt. But take them as bloopers.

Alpheratz: Him and crying? As unlikely as it sounds, it does happen on occasion, though usually he can teleport away before anyone sees. But this time he does not, and he certainly tries not to hide it either. His cheeks just rub against yours and he sobs between all he is saying, while the tears rub against your cheeks.

Arcturus: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE NEEDS THIS?! This man has always been there for everyone, smiling from ear to ear just to make their day even the tiniest bit better. But has anyone ever shown the same to him? Has anyone ever lifted the burdens he swallowed for everyone else's sake? No. So as soon as he cries, he will not stop until the exhaustion takes over and sleep finally rests him.

Pollux: This man does not cry, he claims. That morning, he cried because snakes do not have arms. He barely ever cries from tragedies, such as loss. They just turn him numb. But he does cry from joy quite often. So, when you show him the affection you feel, he gets teary eyes, but will not cry fully.

Not trying to defend Rowling or Snape, but I do think it should be said that Rowling has outright stated that Snape isn't really a good person on a personal level. But that he was also instrumental in stopping Voldemort personally regardless, and it seems to me (after digging out my ancient copies of the books) that he didn't really buy into the whole "wizard superiority" nonsense for too long, but by the time he realized it wasn't really what he wanted it was far too late to just not be a part of it without risking his own life.

And he still did go out of his way to go against them, even after Lily died. I think he probably would have gone against them just as fiercely if Neville had been the chosen one, if only out of revenge and penance for what happened to her (which he was partially responsible for).

The situation in the books at least actually rather parallels indoctrination of minors into these supremacist groups IRL; Snape only got into it because he was a social outcast and was easily convinced because he was constantly mistreated by his peers. Ironically, he was a half-blood wizard himself. They only had him join their ranks because he was really good at making potions and had the ire for others necessary to use dark magic.

I need to clarify again, I'm not really a fan of Snape period, but Lily once again misses the entire point of him. She sounds like one of the mega Snape fangirls from back in the day.

If she wants him to be a better person, she could probably do it without downplaying the shit he was involved with.

"if only out of revenge and penance for what happened to her (which he was partially responsible for)."

that part right there is why i have a problem with how snap was written. if the only scenario where you can imagine him changing sides and actively working to try to take down magic fascist leader is one where his love interest gets punished for it, then i can't really believe that he has any real convictions of his own. if harry's mom was never affected by the war, if she got to live a long and normal life with her family, would snape still change? or he would stay there where just has to do enough to keep himself alive? because what is me, i can't picture him doing anything like that.

about rowing herself and her words... those words really don't mean much when she was the one who decided to immortalize snape as the "bravest man i have known" by naming one of harry's child as him. this is the biggest point of conflict in the fandom regarding snape that i have seen. that on one hand rowing tell us that he is not that good of a person and was flawed, but at the same time fully endorse snape being rewarded even better than many other characters who were never nazis, never abused any children and were also fundamental during the war.

when in text all he did was not say a slur after his love interest says it was a bad word and tell harry his life story at the last second. he never had to make amends, he never had to show anyone his change, he never had to compensate for the harm he had done. he just dies. on itself this is fine but it's ruined by the ending. i don't mind snape existing by himself, but he did not deserve that kind of tribute to be part of the last words we'd ever see about the story. for a better example of someone who is not a perfectly good person, but does tries to do good and legitimately tries to do better because they believe is the right thing, sirius black was right there. he was full of flaws and he still tried, for better or for worse, not because of someone but because that's what he believed.

i can see why people like him and i might even understand why LO does too. but the fact remains that he wasn't just a good or bad guy, that he could have been written better, and you need to talk about all of his facets, including the magic nazism and abusive tendencies, instead of pretending they weren't a big deal or don't exist at all, if you even attempt to look at this franchise critically.

Harry Potter (Marauders Era);

(Platonic) -

Sirius Black:

🐺 You met Sirius in your fourth year when you were in the library, yes, it's hard to believe the Sirius Black went into the library, but he did; Being forced to enter by Remus Lupin as they were both teamed up for a project

🐺 You, being a book fiend, you spent most of your time in the school's library, and if you weren't in the library or in class, you'd be exploring the castle-like school; meeting Sirius was a blessing in disguise though, at first he did try and flirt with you, trying to get out of learning anything, but Sirius sort of gave up that act after a while

🐺 Turns out, Sirius liked you, but not as a special someone in his life, but as a friend, after you came out of your shell a bit, Sirius realized that you were quite fun to hang out with; him being a pureblood, he never got to listen to muggle music before, which he realized later that he really liked rnb music like you

🐺 You cared a lot for Sirius, especially since his home life is not the greatest, you're always there for him when he needs someone and the boys are busy; together you'd explore the school, using the map most of the time, and other times you'd just relax and read together, (even if Sirius hates reading most of the time)

🐺 You guys are super close, and even though people mess with Sirius about your friendship, he is always there to stand up for you and himself; just because he likes to prank people doesn't mean he was going to prank you or anything, you're his best friend, and that's all he could ever ask for

(Romantic) -

Remus Lupin:

🐾 You met Remus when he walked into the Hogwarts Library with Sirius, and it was only a matter of time until the two of you got together; as said before, you are a book fiend, and Remus was as well, sooner or later the two of you were going to meet and realize you both love books

🐾 And you did, in becoming friends with Sirius, you had also grown pretty close to Peter, James, Lily, and Remus, really, if you're friends with one, you're friends with them all; and whoopie doo, Remus was already in love with you, believe it or not

🐾 He had liked you ever since his second year, which means he's been pining for a good two years, and yes, James, Sirius, Peter, and Lily new about his fascination for you; it was actually Lily who had helped him figure out a way to confess to you, and what better than buying you a book?

🐾 It all happened so fast, one minute he was gifting you a book, and the next you were both dancing at the Yule Ball, a kiss was shared, and really the rest was history; though, both you and Remus loved to look back upon those times, slow dancing in the common room, reading by the fire, drinking tea before finals...

🐾 Remus is head over heels in love with you, your charm, kindness, and understanding, he never thought he'd find someone who'd love him so unconditionally, (even with his furry little problem); and you on the other hand were feeling pretty much the same, like two love birds, you and Remus were soulmates for life, and you wouldn't have it any other way

Stranger Things;

(Platonic) -

Robin Buckley:

🌈 You met Robin back when she was working at Scoops, so yeah a good while ago, her sarcasm and wit were what drew you to her and what led to you and her being the bestest of friends, believe it or not; with just one order of ice cream and complimenting her shoes, boom, best friends

🌈 You'd visit her whenever you could, and she'd give you free ice cream when she was feeling particularly generous, but you always gave hr a good tip afterwards, and during her breaks, you and her would talk about the newest books you were reading; going into the future, after the mall and Vecna, you'd visit her at Family Video when you weren't busy at college working on your Fashion Designer major

🌈 With Robin, she'd help come up with clothing and fashion ideas, having a real eye for it, and on her birthday, you always gifted her something you made, whether that be a new shirt or even cool pants; Robin would always come back with something super cool for your birthday, a new music tape or something pink always brightened your day

🌈 Sliding around to emotional support, you'd always be there for Robin, making sure she's alright and well, you knew how hard life can be for her, family and Upside Down nightmares can be a real pain; and Robin did the same for you, luckily you were away at college during most of the Vecna drama, but Robin would always call and check up on you if your arthritis is acting up

🌈 You both were like two peas in a pod, always there for one another when times get tough and always there to make each other laugh; you both are so grateful to have each other in your lifes

---

(Romantic) -

Steve Harrington:

😎 You met Steve, guess where? At Scoops! Wow, time flies when you think about it, anyway, you met him and he was actually the one who tried to get your order before Robin; you did your best to answer without exploding and crumbling into pieces, but it was a bit hard since Steve was just so fine, Robin swooped in a saved the day, but that didn't stop Steve from wanting to get to know you

😎 From then on, whenever you came in to see your new bff, Robin, Steve would try and talk to you little by little; he could see that you were a bit shy and he didn't want to spook you, so he did his best to try not scare you away with his very awkward and cringy sentences; "hey, what can I get for you today? Oh, yeah, it's on the house! Is that a new shirt? Oh, you made that? That's so cool! Yeah, you should teach me, yeah, I love sewing!" As you can see, he was failing miserably

😎 But, that didn't scare you off, not in the slightest really, you thought he was adorably weird and wacky, and incredibly funny and protective of those kids he watched sometimes; and it was only after the whole Vecna thing that Steve got the guts and courage to ask you out on a date after you came back from college

😎 It was perfect, going to a super cute diner where you both talked and talked until they staff had to kick you out since they were closing, and a sweet walk around town, getting ice cream from an ice cream truck before staying over at his house and watching a movie; it was nice and peaceful, even getting to the point that you asked Steve to braid your hair, (he had been looking at it for a long while), and even though he told you he was terrible, he braided your hair anyway, (he was pretty happy in the end, he loves your hair)... (and you love his)

😎 The two of you are so close, perfectly understanding each other and always there for one another when the roads get rough and the nightmares never seem to stop, (on Steve's end); you love the time you get to spend with him, Steve watching Sailor Moon with you even though he's not that into it, he loves to see you smile, just like the time he brought you a huge bouquet of pink flowers; you both are the sweetest and most wonderful couple in all of Hawkins

[halfblood-princes-crown]

Dark snape au here again, this part is a little lighter I suppose so here we go

The new year starts and Harry is progressing slowly in spells, nothing serious but it’s something to keep himself sane.

And if you’re wondering how severus have all this money, Eileen has a muggle account that she kept all her inheritance money in, money she hid from her husband and saved up for her son. Severus also worked around while keeping an eye on Harry and didn’t spend anything much so now he’s left with enough savings for them both to go by until he lands a stable job.

The first year students are excited for the new year unaware of the anxiety everyone is experiencing with Harry missing.

The sort happens then and they have to erase Harry’s name but somebody {hermione} points out that the boy who lived is not there with them? The professors are put in a tight spot and the student body breaks into whispers.

The news quickly spreads because you can’t just erase the memory of every student.

Remus still didn’t tell anyone he found Harry and everyone thinks he just gave up.

Severus goes out to sell the potions he made in the market near by and buys groceries, he buys some pastries and comes back to the cottage.

He walks outside to where Harry is practicing alone, the boy stops immediately and backs away from him because let’s be real Harry is too fragile right now.

Severus ignores the annoying stinging in his chest and orders the boy to eat what he bought.

Severus keeps eyes on Harry for an uncomfortable amount of time then starts telling him random stories about his mother when she was young, Harry is gob smacked by this information and takes in everything he can.

Harry still doesn’t speak but continues with him using gestures, he points at a spell in the book, severus took it as an opportunity to fix something he broke and started showing him how to do simple spells.

Sirius now reached Switzerland and panics because he can smell both snape and Harry, meaning his dreams were true and snape kidnapped Harry but also, Remus is here too?

Now that whole of Britain knows Harry is nowhere to be found, people are scared, so no more than two weeks and parents started pulling their kids out of hogwarts because they don’t trust albus, only a few new students left and a hand full from older years.

With all of that chaos going on they seem to forget one important thing, Voldemort on the back of what’s his face.

More story time? Don’t mind if I do😌

Ok let’s do this!

Eileen secretly saving money for Sev is so mother.

Hermione being the first one to point out that Harry Potter wasn’t there is so accurate 😭

Remus found them…and HASNT said anything? Interesting 🧐 🍿

Sev and Harry seem to be bonding better 🥹 my broken heart is healing slowly. I love that he broke the silence by telling Harry about his mom. Cute

Sirius: *sniff sniff* Harry AND Snape!? This can only mean one thi- *sniff sniff* ReMuS!?

OOHH! Voldemort on…the professor…FUCK WHATS HIS NAME😭💀I refuse to look it up, I’d be a fake hp fan…gimme a min…omg this is tragic….

It rhymed with..

I’m gonna lock myself in a closet…

SQUIRREL

QUIRRELL

It took thirty mins to remember his name. Excuse me while I go DIE 😒

My ask is about Oh Shit It’s An Allegory For PCOS

A long while ago I came up with 2 story ideas that were based on the marauders but were also me just finding a way to vent about gender issues (one of them I did put into Ao3), this was the second and likely more developed idea. I just never finished it because I didn’t work on much of a plot more feelings.

The basic idea was: lycanthropy in a femme born character would be a great allegory for this hormonal condition I have called PCOS (or at least my experiences with the condition) Now onto the story, and idk if I’m ever going to go back and add to it (I might) but we’ll see when I have the time for that so I’m going to post all of the story so far.

Magazines, papers, pictures, always constant pictures of these beautiful shaved hairless women that Remus would love to be like but it’s so impossible because of the stupid wolf that never leaves her. And that stupid fucking name, that boys name, but no for whatever reason her parents cursed her with Remus because that was just the best possible choice for them. Definitely wouldn’t make her feel insecure in her femininity for the literal ENTIRETY of her life, especially with the added issue of HAIR EVERYWHERE. As in not just on her legs and thighs, but on her back, on her stomach, on her arms, on her face, on parts of her feet, fucking everywhere and fucking noticable.

Remus looks at her face in the mirror, the hairs on her face, if she had it any darker then people would think she had a beard. There were far too many little black hairs to even try simply plucking them. She had once considered shaving them but then she remembers the razor burn that was once along her arms, years ago, as a child when she first realized that having this hair as a woman was…wrong. When she realized that some of the other girls had begun to shave, it seemed to work out much easier for them. All of puberty seemed to work out much easier for them, no added issues of hair and voice and weight that never seemed to leave no matter what she tries to do. More masculine features seem to be a little bonus feature added onto the lycanthropy, a little buy one get one free, just incredible.

Remus would always be an unattractive woman, she just accepted that, despite how much she hated the body she was in, she accepted it. She knew she would never be desirable, probably the wolf trying to make things easier for her–this way she doesn’t have to worry about partners, instead she can focus on her studies. Plus she never has to worry about someone finding out, so that’s pretty nice. Will she always have insecurities in not looking like the average woman or sounding like the average woman or being normal? Yes, of course, but at least this whole situation means she can have all that alone time that she enjoys. Plus it’s far better to never need to worry about romance and relationships and people, it’s all far too complicated.

It’s not that people didn’t try to talk to Remus, but she allowed herself to walk around like some ghost, or I guess not exactly like a ghost since the ghosts at Hogwarts seem far more sociable. Isolation seemed to come naturally to the girl, or at least it wasn’t too hard to fall into the shadows when everyone focused on that nonsense that the marauders came up with or the beauty that is Mary MacDonald.

(This next part happens later in the story, I still need to write something connecting this with the last part)

Sirius holds her hands and looks down, the hair and scars on her arms, Remus frantically pulls her sleeves down, “I know they’re disgusting but you don’t have to stare.”

“I don’t think it’s disgusting though,” they speak, hand gently pushing up the sleeve that she had just pushed down. Their fingers gently trace along my arm, along the soft hairs, “It’s you, and it’s…pretty.”

Her face shifts, for a mere second she believes them, but then she cannot. This is some hoax, the idea that someone could like her in any way, but especially like that.

“Don’t fucking patronize me,” Remus gets up and starts walking away.

So, hypothetically… if I were to write a fanfic called “The Afterlife of Regulus Black” that starts from the last day of Regulus and narrate him and all of the Marauders characters dying and meeting back in the whatever-there-is-after-death and commenting on various events up until the Battle of Hogwarts… would you… would you read it?

Because I’ll write it, I just need someone to read it…

plot bunny of the day…

Jegulus breaks up after Reg gets the mark, but ends up having sex one time that James is at Hogwarts for Order stuff at the end of Regulus’ last year at Hogwarts, which leaves Reg pregnant (yes, Reg is trans in this). Regulus then proceeds to tell absolutely no one about this kid, not sure even Barty or Pandora and just tells everyone he has to go to Paris for some potion training for a year (which he actually does) and disappears from public life for a year.

When he comes back, he buys an apartment for himself and his son (let’s call him Leo, I’ll come up with something better later) where no one is ever allowed except for Kreacher and Leo’s tutors. Now, this kid isn’t secluded from public life, he has a very normal life actually, just he’s never seen in public with Regulus. Why? Well, initially it was just because he didn’t want his family to know about how the kid came to be, but he also wasn’t willing to abandon the last gift James ever gave to him, as he’ll later refer to his son.

Then, however, the fact that our Regulus is still planning Voldemort’s downfall with Pandora also came into the picture, so he’s afraid that if they get discovered little Leo might be in danger. After that the story goes pretty much as we know it, except Reg doesn’t die in the cave since he tells Pandora that he’s going because this time he’s not taking chances, he has to go back to Leo. He also doesn’t leave a note for obvious reasons.

However, he knows that he’s still very much in danger of one day never coming home to Leo, so as soon as Leo turns 5-years-old he gives him a letter and a jar of chocolates that he’ll refill periodically, then he tells him to eat one and only one (he charms the jar) every day and that if the chocolates ever run out he has to take the letter and find James Potter.

A few days after Leo Black’s 8th birthday, the chocolates run out, and an 8-year-old shows up on James’ doorstep with a letter from a long lost lover that goes:

James, my dear angel,

if you’re reading this, I’m probably dead or worse. I will never be able to thank you for everything you have given me, and I’m so incredibly sorry to have to place this on you, but I have one last miracle to ask you…

You know what is my ultimate comfort headcanon? The idea that sometimes Remus and Sirius would go into the Muggle World with Sirius as Padfoot. Obviously, they’d do it in the Wizarding one too, but I love the idea of them doing it among muggles because I think that the combination between Padfoot that cannot just turn back into Sirius as he wants and Remus that actually has to take responsibility for him being an absolute menace, and he cannot just be like “oh that crazy dog? Yeah, he’s actually my idiot animagus boyfriend, not my dog. Yeah no, no idea why he’s doing that. You might want to ask him to turn back, but I wouldn’t count on the antics or idiocy to go away,” the potential for absolutely hilarious scenarios is endless. However, my personal favorite is the someone-tries-to-flirt-with-Remus-by-asking-to-pet-his-dog one. Like, just imagine Remus sitting in the grass, reading some dystopian sci-fi novel or something along those lines, there’s a sleepy Padfoot curled up next to him that rests his head on his thigh, and Remus has his arm around him, only lifting it from time to time to turn the page. It’s late spring, the sun is out, there are even some daisies and dandelions here and there. It’s all very cute. Then, this poor, unaware girl just walks up to them, just trying to shoot her shot with the cute guy reading at the park. She crouches down as Remus is still reading and almost startles him as she goes “Oh my god, he’s so cute, is it yours?” Padfoot opens one eye, and it’s just one but you can still see the “l will bite you” in it. Meanwhile, Remus hesitates because he has learned from experience not to call Padfoot his dog (his human form hadn’t spoken to him for days last time he did that), so he just stutters an awkward “Umh… yeah… yeah, this is my best friend Pads,” and Remus swears the freakin dog smirks. “Hi Pads” the girl is now speaking directly to the black dog, which is still pretty much ignoring her “I’m Cindy,” and Padfoot is about to drift back into his half-asleep state and away from the encounter, but then Cindy makes a comment about how they’re “both very cute” that Remus tries to dismiss with a chuckle, and suddenly Padfoot is VERY awake. ‘Cause, yes, that is a correct statement, but did this girl just call his moony “cute” right in front of him? He lifts his head off of Remus’s thigh and lets out an angry whimper, to which Remus has to hide a light laugh. “Oh, look who’s awake” Cindy jokes, “Can I pet you, Pads?” And before Remus can say that of course she can pet him, as the corteous human being he is, Padfoot, as the not as corteous dog that he is, growls at her. To which, Remus shoots him a death glare, a very amused one as such but still a death glare, and tries to apologize with a “Sorry, he’s a bit… uh… possessive?” Cindy would probably like to continue the conversation, but Padfoot doesn’t stop barking and growling until she’s forced to excuse herself, despite Remus’s best efforts to calm him down. Then, as soon as she’s far enough that he finally stops barking, Remus cups his face and says: “You are a jealous idiot, you know that?” But Padfoot just proudly plops back down in his spot on Remus’s thigh, very much satisfied with himself. Remus shakes his head and goes back to his book, lightly petting Padfoot’s head, like nothing happened.
