Prompt 23 - First Birthday

@wolfstarmicrofic January 23, word count 829

Remus’s birthday was fast approaching. It would be the first of his small group of friends that he’d be celebrating, as he’d been in the shrieking shack on Sirius’s birthday and missed the celebrations. But for his birthday the moon would barely be a sliver in the sky, so he could celebrate all he wanted.

James had promised him a cake. He’d asked his mum to bake and send one just for Remus, in his favourite flavour, chocolate, of course. Remus couldn’t wait. 

The day arrived, and while he still had to go to class, he didn’t mind so much as he had Transfiguration, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, all of which he was quite good at, and no potions. So far, it was a pretty good birthday.  

“Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, our dear Remus. Happy birthday to you,” Sirius, James and Peter chorused around him after they’d dragged him up to their dorm room and sat him on a cushion on the floor. James had a massive chocolate cake in his hands that he shoved in Remus’s face so he could blow out the candles. Sirius cut them big slices, and they balanced the plates on their laps while they dug in messily with their fingers. 

Once they were finished and had cleaned up, Sirius plonked himself down in Remus’s lap. It had taken Remus a while to get used to how touchy-feely Sirius was. James had told him he thought it was because Sirius was a bit touch-starved and was overcompensating, now that he’d figured out he could hug people. He basically draped himself over James any chance he got, sometimes in class. So Remus had made the effort not to tense up every time Sirius touched him, mainly for Sirius’s sake, but also because he secretly craved the light touches. For too long, the only person who’d hugged him or touched him was his mum. 

“I’ve got you a present,” Sirius beamed at him as he summoned a box from under his bed. Remus took it off him and awkwardly balanced it on Sirius’s lap, lifting the lid to reveal a whole collection of wizarding sweets. 

“Wow, Sirius, thank you,” He grinned, his hands already opening a chocolate frog box.

“Glad you liked it,” Sirius told him, wiggling in his lap so he could rest his head on Remus’s shoulder. Remus found it oddly comforting having Sirius’s weight on him. But all that went away when James shoved Sirius aside and dumped a box of Dr Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No-Heat Fireworks into his lap. 

“Wow, these are amazing, thank you, James,” Remus said, brushing his fingers over the image on the box. They’d find a good use for these over the next few weeks, he bet. Peter shuffled forward and held out a lumpy package wrapped in brown paper. 

“Mum made this for you,” He mumbled, and Remus tore off the paper. It was a brown jumper with an intricate cable pattern on the front and around the cuffs. 

“Wow, Pete, this is, this is, wow, I love it,” He told Peter, pulling his robes off so he could put the jumper on. 

He hugged himself, appreciating the soft wool and the warmth it brought him.

“Do you really?” Peter asked in surprise. 

���Yeah, I really do. Tell your mum thank you, will ya?” Peter nodded profusely. Sirius dumped the fireworks on the floor and took his place back on Remus’s lap. 

“Godrics beard, that jumper is soft,” He nuzzled into Remus, knocking him over as he tried to feel all the jumper at once. 

“Get off you nutter.” Remus laughed as Sirius started tickling him. 

“Hey, Pete, why didn’t I get one of these for my birthday?” Sirius asked in mock outrage. Peter turned bright red. 

“Er, erm, er…” He spluttered. “I can ask Mum if she’ll make you one too?” 

“Aww, would you? Such a treasure. For now, I’ll just steal Remus’s,” He declared as he tried to get inside it with Remus still wearing it. 

“Will you get off? James!” Remus called out for help and James dragged Sirius out, threw him on his bed and rolled him up in his duvet. Problem solved. Remus dug around his box of sweets and pulled out some peppermint imps and chewed on them while James told the story of the time his dad tried to sew his mum's favourite dress back together after they’d accidentally ripped it, and he’d sewn it to his robes and had to wait for his mum to get back to help so they didn’t ruin the dress further. 

Remus went to sit next to the slightly disgruntled-looking Sirius and fed him Fizzing Whizzbees to cheer him up. 

When he got into bed that night, it was with a smile on his face. He’d loved every second of his birthday and couldn’t believe how lucky he was to have friends like he did.

GIVE THIS WOMAN A BREAK.

So let’s recap since some people seem to forget what happened in acosf.

1- Nesta has a fight with Cassian because he doesn’t understand how much the word mate is scary for Nesta. She explains to him that this word means nothing to her and acknowledging this word, would mean losing ALL parts of her humanity. They fight and he says the DUMBEST THING ever, so Nesta ends up at her bestie’s house.

2- Nesta and her 2 besties are drugged and kidnapped to participate in the deadly hunger games that lasts a whole week. They didn’t ask any of it. 2 out of 3 are survivors of SA and 🍇, and now are stuck competing against men who either want to 🍇 them and/or killed them. They wake up being separated and thanks to Nesta’s magic bracelets aka magic GPS, they end up finding one another and survive this week on their own, using all the skills they’ve learned. But most of all, the one things these men don’t really use — their BRAINS. So Nesta sacrifices herself so her 2 besties can climb the mountain and win.

3- Nesta gets taken out of these deadly game by her mate who happens to be controlled by the wicked old crone who wants to murder Nesta because she wants to be forever young, since Botox doesn’t exist in Prythian. Then when Nesta thinks Cassian has just stabbed himself to death, she unleashes herself and makes the whole continent shake while destroying this old queen. ✨the most badass girl in town✨

4- Nesta and Cassian gets taken back to the Night Court because Feyre is basically dying because apparently you can heal broken wings (male only), you can heal someone even when their guts are basically laying on the ground, but the magic stops at C-section. So Nesta puts all of the trove items (nobody has ever done so) and she stops TIME ITSELF and beg the Cauldron to show her how to save her sister from dying. The Cauldron shows and in exchange of the powers she stole ( they make a bargain, but the Mother aka Nesta’s new bestie, makes sure she get to keep some of her powers but we don’t know how much really.) Nesta saves everyone and says for the 1st time of her life these 3 tiny words ✨I love you✨ not to her mate, not to her friends but to her youngest sister.

4- Nesta and Cassian walks out talk a bit about what happens and she acknowledges that he’s her mate and that she loves him (girl wake up, you deserves better than him) and they kiss. And now, since there’s a stupid custom for a female to feed the male in order to accept the mating bond, she gives him a cookie that was just there in the birthing room.

Also quick reminder all of this happens in ONE MORNING. ONE.

So leave this girl alone for not cooking the most ⭐️⭐️⭐️Michelin star meal, she was busy saving basically everyone.

Prompt 29 - Climb

@jegulus-microfic October 29, Word count 881

Previous part First part

He couldn’t believe how many compliments Sirius had given him. He had no idea how to react to the praise, so he just nodded and smiled quick little smiles. He’d grabbed James’s hand at some point but couldn’t remember when. All he knew was that he couldn’t let go. He found it strangely calming, that simple touch. He felt confident enough with it to say a few things to his brother, even if they were only one or two-word answers. 

“So where are you living now?” Sirius asked him after returning his sketchbook. He chewed his lip for a moment, knowing what Sirius was really asking. 

“In the Halls. It’s noisy, but…” But it wasn’t Grimmauld Place. He couldn’t go back there. His parents had thrown him out right before uni had started, cancelling all his fees. Luckily, the university had been understanding and let him start his studies and move into his room on the understanding that if he didn’t get the student loan, he would owe them for back payments. It had been the scariest time in his life, but it had all worked out in the end. 

“We loved Halls, didn’t we, Prongs? So many people to prank,” Sirius sighed nostalgically. 

“Yeah, but everyone knew it was us. I think the Prefects were glad to see the back of us,” James laughed. 

“W-w-what about you?” Regulus asked, wincing when he stuttered. Sirius looked at him sadly, remembering what had happened to Regulus at home if he dared to stutter within hearing of their mother. 

“Up until a few weeks ago, I lived here. That was my room,” Sirius said, pointing at a door just visible from the living room. 

“Why did you move out?” Regulus asked, his head filling with too many scenarios about James and his string of lovers and other highly upsetting things. 

“Remus and I got a place together,” Sirius shrugged. Regulus guessed there was more, but Sirius didn't elaborate.

“Hey, Pads, come help me make more tea,” James had stood up while the brothers were talking and started collecting their used cups.

“What, why?” Sirius whined. “Why can’t you do it yourself? It’s only three cups of tea,” James leaned over, his nose almost touching Sirius’s and said very slowly. 

“Mum sent over one of her chocolate cakes,” Sirius was out of his chair and racing towards the kitchen before James could stand up straight. 

“Oi, Prongs, takeaway tonight? Reggie, you're staying.” Sirius said, coming back into the living room with a mouthful of chocolate cake. Regulus was relieved that Sirius had told him he was staying rather than asking if he wanted to. “I’ve put the kettle on,” He told James as he went to sit back down. 

“Great, and now you can get cake for everyone and not just yourself,” James ordered, grabbing Sirius by the back of his shirt and preventing him from sitting. Sirius screwed up his face and mumbled profanity at James as James pushed him into the kitchen. Regulus couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. He sighed and leaned back, tilting his head into the cushions and closing his eyes. He was exhausted. A lot had happened in the last few hours. 

The front door opened again and a tired-looking, very tall man wandered in, yawning widely, his eyes half shut. He dropped his bag and flung himself across the sofa, his head landing in Regulus’s lap, while his arms wrapped around his waist. Regulus froze. The man froze too. He craned his neck back, staring up into Regulus’s face. 

“You are not Sirius,” He stated. Regulus shook his head. 

“Moony, Regulus. Regulus, Moony,” Sirius introduced them, not seemingly bothered by the fact that Remus was currently sprawled over Regulus. 

“Hi,” Regulus said quietly. 

“Moony's my nickname. You can call me that, or Remus. Whichever you prefer,” Remus told him gently before untangling himself from Regulus and going to greet Sirius. He kissed Sirius on the lips but yanked his head away as soon as they’d made contact and stared at him. 

“It’s in the kitchen,” Sirius said, and then Remus was gone. A groan came from the kitchen a second later and Sirius snorted. 

“Remus loves Effie’s cake more than he loves me,” Regulus now realised that Remus was Sirius's boyfriend. That made a bit more sense. 

“I’m sorry,” He blurted out. “He was on me before I could stop him,” He really hoped Sirius wouldn't be offended and told him to get out. But Sirius shrugged it off.

“It’s fine, don’t worry,” 

Remus and James came back with the tea things and plates of chocolate cake. James sat back with Regulus on the sofa, while Sirius took his chair again. Remus hesitated a second before he chose to climb onto Sirius’s lap, obscuring Sirius until he got himself settled. Grinning down at his large slice of cake. This was the weirdest tea party Regulus had ever been to. 

“So, Chinese for dinner?” James asked, sliding his hand into Regulus’s again. Regulus nodded at him as he took a bite of the chocolate cake James handed him. He let out a groan. 

“It’s the best, right?” Remus said, grinning at him. Regulus had no words, so continued to nod as he took another bite.
