Soooo, I’m learning to draw 😂 this is the first piece of fan art I’ve ever made, so if you think it’s shit, kindly keep it to yourself 🫣🫣😂 I’m 33 and still can’t hold a pencil the right way 💁🏼♀️ maybe don’t look at it too closely
This is obv from Ghosts (https://archiveofourown.org/works/57859948/chapters/147272722) peep the yellow jumper and Remus’ lil bandage.
this doesn't fit my blog theme at all, but I beg you to listen.
my mother has had the same dream for all her life: do something to be remembered by.
she's lived quite a life, but now, nearing 50, she wishes to take control of what she does, and, has therefore chosen to follow her dream of drawing.
she wishes to make this into a career she can continue to her death, but no one is seeing her videos or buying her art.
im not asking for a lot - just visit her instagram page, give it a follow and a like. once she gets the engagement she needs, people will be able to buy her art.
This is from an as yet unnamed fic for the @conangray-marauders-fest based on Lonely Dancers by Conan Gray
Sirius from six months ago would be strongly tempted to march across the club and cause a scene. Sirius from six months ago might have gotten into a screaming match right in the middle of the function, or stormed out with Fabian's house and car keys so that he couldn't get back home, or even thrown a punch. Right-now-Sirius has been doing yoga. He’s been meditating and working on his anger management and promising James that he wouldn’t need to pick him up from a police station again. Sitting here now, downing the remainder of a rosé spritzer, watching Fabian dry humping a stranger into a wall covered in fake plants surrounded by the bisexual glow of a cursive neon sign reading "The Naughty Corner", Sirius felt a strange sense of zen.
Yes, perhaps his heart was currently residing somewhere in the vicinity of his bowels, and his vision was a little bit fuzzy due to a combination of intense rage and tears (which, if you pointed out, would make him even angrier) but, honestly, he was totally fine! He even told James a few months ago, maybe he went after the wrong twin. Fabian always was a bit more of a fuckboy than his brother, and yeah, maybe he had a slightly better hairline and wore sexier clothes, but Sirius knew that would bite him in the ass in the end, and here it was, its sharp teeth clamped onto his perky cheek as predicted.
But, no. It's totally fine. Sirius is one hundred percent, to quote Mac Miller (or, if you're feeling silly, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards), Cool, Calm, and Collected. The only feelings running through his body, watching his boyfriend grinding his hips into a twinkier, blonder version of Ryan Reynolds, are resigned acceptance, a sense of placid serenity, and the gentle desire for a stronger beverage.
Across the club, Fabian hefts Mr. Reynold's gay twin brother up into the air by his thighs and pins him against the wall with his hips, and Sirius snaps the delicate stem of the empty wine glass his spritzer was served in, in half in his hands.

Modern day with magic.

The wedding had gone off without a hitch. Even Lily’s family seemed to be happy, which for them was nothing short of a miracle. The day had been beautiful, they’d all cried at some point and by the time they sent James and Lily off to their honeymoon suite, almost everyone was ready to call it a night.
“Fancy a walk?” Remus asked, as the last of the wedding guests stumbled upstairs. “I’m not tired yet.” Sirius nodded and they took a side door out of the hotel and followed the path down to the lake. Remus walked ahead and sat at the end of the rickety jetty, Sirius following a moment later.
“I know this is quite possibly the worst time to bring this up,” Sirius started.
“But you’re going to anyway?”
“But I’m going to anyway.” He nodded, “I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry for how things ended with us. I was an absolute monster towards the end and you tried so hard to help me and, yeah, I’m just really sorry, and thank you for trying so hard.”
Remus said nothing for a while, the two of them watched wildlife create ripples on the surface of the lake, and marvelled at the reflection of the moon.
“Lily said you’re sober now.”
“Six years and four months, yesterday.” He smiled.
“Wow, that’s fantastic. I’m so proud of you.” Remus squeezed Sirius’ thigh affectionately out of habit, then froze. “Shit, sorry.”
“It’s fine.” Sirius was glad that it was dark, he knew he was blushing. “It took about two weeks before I realised you weren’t coming back and then, bam, rock bottom.”
“I’m so—”
“Don’t be. I needed the wake up call. If you’d stayed much longer I’d have destroyed us both.” Sirius looked down at the water. “I’m sorry.”
“It was a long time ago.” Remus said slowly. “It sounds like you’re doing really well.”
“There are good and bad days, like anything. Therapy helped a lot.” Sirius shrugged, “Another thing you were right about.”
“I feel like saying ‘I told you so’ is in bad taste.” Remus chanced a look at him and smiled.
“Nah, I deserve at least one, I reckon.” Sirius smiled back at him, taking in the way the moonlight picked out the beginnings of grey near his temples, and made his eyes seem to glow. He willed himself to look away for the sake of his self control.
“Well then. I told you so.” Remus said softly, looking out at the lake.
“Turns out I’d repressed a lot of stuff from being a kid and apparently that’s not good if you want to be a healthy adult. Yes, yes. I know you told me that too.” Remus bit his lip as he grinned and even just seeing the side of it made Sirius want. “I needed to lose you to get myself better, but it’s also the worst thing that ever happened to me.”
“Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’ve been at with it.” Remus leant back on his elbows and looked up at the sky. “I was… miserable. For a long time. But I don’t think I’d be who I am now without that time in my life, you know?”
Sirius mirrored Remus’ movement and stared up at the stars. “Did you find someone?”
“To love?” Sirius nodded, “Nah. I looked for a while, had a few dates here and there, but nobody really interested me. It’s just me and my cat Peaches. What about you?”
“After I got out of self destruction mode, I didn’t date for a couple of years. I was with this guy Ed for a year or so but that fizzled, and it’s just been me for a few years now. I debated getting a cat, but it’s hard work taking care of myself, let alone another living thing.”
“It sounds stupid, but getting a cat made me look after myself more.” Remus chuckles and Sirius feels the sound in his chest. “Like I had someone else to be accountable to for the first time in ages and it made me want to do better.”
“Weirdly, I totally get what you mean.” He paused, “It’s hard to want to do things for yourself sometimes, right?”
“Exactly.” Remus nodded, “She makes sure I’m awake by 7 and making her breakfast by quarter past.”
“Still not a morning person?” Sirius knocked his shoulder into Remus’ gently.
“No,” he knocked Sirius back and laughed, “I go back to bed after feeding her way too often. She tries.” Before he could talk himself out of it, he gently rested his head on Sirius’ shoulder. “Is this ok?”
“Yeah,” Sirius’ voice was barely audible as he leant his cheek on Remus’ hair. “This is ok.”
This is the opening to a fic I’ve had on the back burner for a while called The Remus Lupin Boyfriend Experience.
Fake dating! Background Jily and Dorlene! Unhinged behaviour in the name of ‘boyfriends’!
Remus and Sirius were categorically not a couple. They had made that very clear to Remus’ ex boyfriend, James, and Lily, and Pete, and The Weasleys, and Remus’ mum, and The Potters, and Marlene and Dorcas, and the very sweet old lady outside Tesco who had told them that it was beautiful to see two young men so in love. She was the one who had taken it the hardest, honestly. They were just best friends. That was all, and that was fine.
Lily had tried to pry from Remus whether he had feelings for Sirius for years at this point. His response to her hadn’t changed (‘Of course not, give me some credit.’) but he’d only be lying to himself if he didn’t acknowledge that there was at least a tiny flicker of something there. Not that he’d ever act on it and risk losing his favourite person and fracturing their friendship group forever. James had tried once to bring up his love life and learned his lesson swiftly when Remus blocked him on everything for ten days.
At 31, Remus had been in several long term relationships, but had been single since turning 30 after a calamitous break up with Benjy-Fucking-Fenwick. He knew that James and Lily meant well but there was no way in hell anything would ever happen with him and Sirius. He imagined they were also having these conversations with Sirius, but the two of them had never discussed it. James was getting less and less subtle when they met for video games and cocktails (an honoured Saturday evening tradition) and Lily just shrugged whenever Remus stared daggers at her.
But they most definitely were not a couple. Never had been a couple. Never would be a couple.
“What are you drinking tonight, Moons?” Sirius threw his arm around Remus’ waist and rested his head on his shoulder. “I can’t decide between some cider or risking James’ cocktail making skills.”
Remus hummed in thought as he instinctively wrapped his arm around Sirius’ shoulders. “He said he was aiming for ‘Sex on the Beach’ and ‘Woo Woo’s. So if you’re feeling fruity I—”
“I’m always feeling fruity, darling.” Sirius smirked up at him as Remus threw his head back and laughed. “You’re right, it’s cocktails and games, not cider and games.”
“But what about fruity cider?” Remus chuckled. “Is that not a cocktail?”
“Shut up.” He said, “Stop making things more difficult than they need to be.”
“But that’s where I excel. You know me.”
“Unfortunately.” He huffed, “So, vodka and juice?”
“And Grenadine if they have some.”
“That sweet tooth of yours is going to fuck you up one day.” Sirius suddenly turned to face Remus and spoke quietly. “Don’t look now, but Ben is over there.”
Remus, to his credit, didn’t look, but sighed. “Let’s grab what we need and go.”
“Or…” Sirius had a look on his face that Remus didn’t like at all.
“Or?”
“Or we let him know how much better you are without him.”
“I’m not— How? I’m not exactly thriving.” He narrowed his eyes at Sirius, who was beaming at him in a very disconcerting way.
“Well, I heard that you’re enjoying your new job, you’re very close to finishing your book and that you have a hot new boyfriend.”
Remus snorted, “Yeah, sure. I also won the lottery and I’m flying home in my private jet.”
“Remus, the things that man-child did to you made me so fucking angry. I’m still angry! Furious, in fact!” He looked up at Remus, his tone sharper, “Just tell him we’re dating, he’ll be jealous, trust me. You know he never trusted me around you. Not like I’ve known you since you were a tiny eleven year old.”
“You were a tinier eleven year old, and that just feels like opening an unnecessary can of worms, Pads.” Remus chewed on his bottom lip. “He probably wouldn’t care anyway.”
“Oh, he will.” Sirius extricated himself from Remus’ arm. “Trust me?”
“Of course I do.” Remus smiled softly at him.
“Hold my hand.”
“I don’t want to hold your hand.” Remus stared at him, blankly.
“Just suck it up and hold my hand. You have to.” Sirius grabbed his hand, roughly interlacing their fingers. “It’s not like we’ve never held hands before.”
“I hate you so much.”
“That’s fine, just hold my fucking hand.” Sirius said through a very toothy smile as he saw Benjy spot them.
Benjy Fenwick, man that you are, catching strays once again.
