Special Names & Uncle James

dad!Barty Crouch Jr x Potter!reader whose daughter loves special names [852 words]

concept thought up with @unstablereader

CW: fem!reader, mum!reader, kid fic, Barty & reader have a daughter, their daughter’s favourite person is her Uncle Jamie, fluff

Barty Crouch Jr was but a simple man.

He loved his wife, he loved his daughter, he loved mischief, he hated loathed despised tolerated managed his brother-in-law, and he loved causing said brother-in-law a healthy amount of grief.

“Come on, sweet girl, say Jamie. Uncle Jamie.” James cooed at his little niece that he was holding up in the air in front of him.

The little girl squealed. “Jew-wel!”

“Who the hell is Jewel!?” James shrieked before quickly trying to school his face. “No, Gemma; I’m your favourite Uncle Jamie. Your funcle! Jamie! James!”

Gemma patted her uncle’s face with a pudgy little hand. “Uncle Jew-wel.”

“Junior, what the hell is wrong with your child?” He finally spat, turning to look at him nonplussed.

Barty looked up from where he had been fiddling with a baby toy to smile sardonically at him. “I have no idea what you might be referring to, Potter.”

That earned him an exhausted scoff which only served to cause his grin to grow.

“First of all, you and bug have been married for three years, I think you’re safe to call me James.” He hissed. “Secondly, this is probably your fault; she never had a problem calling me by my name before.”

“If it was, as you say, all my fault, wouldn’t she be calling you Potter then?”

“Well that would be better than Jewel, no?”

“Uncle doesn’t like Jewel?” Gemma pouted, causing Barty to feel simultaneously victorious in his attempts to cause James grief and also devastated that his daughter was feeling any amount of distress.

“Way to go, Potter; look what you’ve done now.” He hissed.

“Wha- no! No, Gem, I love Jewel, I just don’t know who that is!”

“What the hell is going on in here?” You asked, stepping through the door to find James on the floor with your daughter near tears and Barty sneering at him from the couch.

“Your child is broken.” James let out breathlessly, turning towards you with a helpless look on his face as he held Gemma aloft in front of you.

Your eyes raised on your forehead quite comically at that. “I…beg your pardon?”

”I don’t know what Junior has done, but he’s broken your daughter. She doesn’t remember my name!”

Your bemused gaze lowered to your daughter, still hanging in the air.

“Gemma?”

”Hi, mummy!” She cheered, causing your lips to curve in the corners.

“Hi baby; what have you been calling Uncle Jamie?”

”Jew-wel!”

“Barty…” You chided, causing James to bark a triumphant “HA!” as he pointed at Barty accusingly. “How long were you going to let my brother spiral?”

”Just long enough.” Barty offered with a flippant shrug of his shoulders.

“Gemma,” you moved to explain, giving your brother an exasperated and apologetic look, “asked her daddy the other day why he happens to call me ‘treasure’.”

“Daddy? What’s a treasure?”

“A very special, shining, precious thing that is very important to someone.” Barty explained easily. “Why do you ask, baby?”

“Is mummy a treasure?”

Barty’s smile was simply blinding. “She is, baby; she’s daddy’s treasure. And you’re my little Gem.”

“Special names!”

“That’s right, those are some of our special names, just like mummy calls me Bee sometimes.”

“Does everyone get special names?” She asked with a little tilt to her head.

“Well, they can; but it’s usually saved for your very favourite people. Who’s one of your favourite people?”

Gemma hardly thought before she blurted “Uncle Jamie!”

Barty fought against an absolutely visceral eye roll as he tried to smile at his daughter. “Yeah? Maybe you can think of a special name for him, then.”

James looked to be just as close to tears as Gemma previously had.

“Gemma!” He cooed wetly. “Is Jewel my special name!?”

Gemma’s bemused face fell before she beamed at her uncle; liberated by the feeling of finally being understood. “Special name! Mummy is treasure, Gemma is Gem, and Uncle Jew-wel!”

”Oh my goodness.” James shrilled before he was plastering kiss after kiss to his nieces cheeks, eliciting squeal after squeal from the little girl.

You made your way over to Barty and carded your fingers through his hair before gripping the short strands at the back of his head, forcing him to look up where you stood over him.

”You’re a menace, Barty Crouch Junior.” You chided, earning you a flirty smirk from your husband.

”I’m your menace, my treasure.” He purred in response.

You hummed in acknowledgement but didn’t grace him with a response as you pressed your lips to his.

”I’m going to go bring the food to the kitchen,” you started, giving him a pointed look as you backed away, “do try to behave yourself while I’m gone.”

Not a problem, Barty thought; he was but a simple man.

He loved his wife, he loved his daughter, he loved mischief, he hated loathed despised tolerated managed his brother-in-law, and he loved causing said brother-in-law a healthy amount of grief.

But he also loved how much his daughter loved, and could he really blame her for finding her favourite person in a Potter?

No, he didn’t think so either.

the lovely amazing darling @crescenthistory tagged me a little bit ago about doing the 12 fics for 12 months. i had to really ponder so it took me a moment; i apologize

all fics are character x reader

but here they are 🥰:

just to stop the feeling; theodore nott - @musingsofahufflepuff ;; when i say that i cannot express enough how much i absolutely adore and love this fic. there's a little bit of everything for the sb trio person in here; Enzo being a smart ass, Mattheo being a tender friend, Theo discovering himself. my hubs really did an amazingly fantastic job. please scour his master list I'm begging.

come back, be here; sirius black - @ellecdc ;; this fic is the single most important fic that got me truly hooked on reading more marauders. there's angst, there yearning, there's hurt (and then there's comfort). eight parts overall, this link is to part one. elle is quite amazing.

its nice to have a friend; remus lupin - @crescenthistory ;; this is childhood best friends to lovers with my favorite marauder boy always...and fuck if i'm not a sucker for that.

midnight strolls and nosy portraits; sirius black - @iamgonnagetyouback ;; adorable adorable sirius black fluff, if you're looking for a way to make me obsessed with something, sirius + being a sweetie = sab's brain melting.

divination; james potter - @ikkyfics ;; you and james have (you guessed it) divination class together and get a verrrry interesting reading

dealer!remus x shy reader; remus lupin - @inkdrinkerworld ;; if there's one thing sab loves, it's remus who has a special affinity for you based on what makes you different than the rest. uuuugh love this man. there's two parts to this as well.

everything is blue; barty crouch junior - @unconventional-lawnchair ;; this is barty x potter!reader. if you've paid attention to my blog at all over the last, i'd say, four months, i'm obsessed with barty. everything barty. i need barty. (there's a sort of second bit to this too)

checked box; sirius black - @marauder-misprint ;; sirius is seemingly going through a list of sorts, confusions spread of whether you should be on it.

first kiss; remus lupin - @latenightreadingpdf ;; title says it all, and i'm obsesssseeddd

my darling elle's hockey!au ;; i've linked her remus master list here. if you like hockey (or just thing the rough and tumble of hockey boys are sexy asf [valid]) then i implore you to explore this.

if i kiss you i'm sorry; james potter - @astonishment ;; the first fic i read by my darling darling mal. strangers-esque to lovers. many parts. as always she is just captivating a writer. i encouraged you to explore all her other works as well (you're losing me/remus lupin/james potter has me in a chokehold as well)

desperately needed; mattheo riddle - @musingsofahufflepuff ;; mmmm yes yes yes yes yes i love this, nothing quite like a lil bit o bump and grinding. my favorite activity with mattheo

Do I Wanna Know?

Remus Lupin x gn!reader who holds all the aces [1.5k words]

request from @darlin-collins who felt that Hozier’s cover of Do I Wanna Know? just screamed Remus

CW: written for a fem!reader in mind but no pronouns used, alcohol and drinking, being drunk, clubs and dancing, one-sided pining (OR IS IT!?!?!?!……), Remus’ internal dialogue so it’s messy and rambling

Remus can hardly hear the grating music playing in the pub over the melodic tinkling of your laugh; so effervescent in your joy that your eyes are shut tight and you lean into Marlene for support.

Remus doesn’t know what was so funny, he missed the joke; he was too busy watching the way your eyes were beginning to turn glassy and your cheeks were starting to glow as the warmth from the multiple drinks you had enjoyed so far began thrumming through your veins.

He wonders if you even realise how many aces you have up your sleeve; how you’ve managed to fully enrapture the simple man sitting across from you at the pub. You’ve probably managed to enrapture many men sitting in this very bar, but Remus tries not to think of them.

He thinks of them anyway, imagining you even smiling at anyone who may be less than deserving (let alone tangled up with them) feels like digging his thumb into a fresh wound. He imagines that this feels better than actually having to see you smiling at someone less deserving, though.

His musings are cut short when you smile over at him.

He falls asleep that night with the sound of your laughter echoing in his head.

You’re doing it again.

Granted, all you’re really doing is sitting beside him on the settee. He turned his body completely towards you early on in the evening, both as a way to hide the small blot of red wine he’d spilled onto James and Lily’s sofa, but mostly so he wouldn’t miss a second of your company.

He takes a moment to wonder if the way your body was also angled towards him meant anything before he mentally slaps himself.

Does he want to know if this feeling flows both ways? He imagines that, for these small, stolen moments he can pretend that it does and decides that this is ultimately the safer alternative to finding out definitively that no, it does not.

He knows the likeliness of it being entirely one sided is high; he’s not a foolish man.

He’s too long and lanky, too brittle and sore. He’s quiet and reserved and you’re bright and bubbly. He’s grumpy and awkward and you’re lovely and affable. He’s a mess and you’re perfect.

Remus’ conviction to not know is solidified when Lily calls you over to the kitchen to help her make some cocktails. You turn to look at him apologetically as though he’d been anything more than a decorative piece beside your main attraction, but he still finds himself sad to see you go, sort of wishing you’d want to stay on this small, wine stained sofa with him.

Remus takes a large enough swig from his wine that he dribbles more onto the couch; he leaves the scene of the crime, heading across the room to fall into conversation with Sirius and Mary.

He shouldn’t have agreed to come; the lights were blinding yet he found he still couldn’t see anything in the dark, strobe light filled club, and the music was so loud that he basically had to shove his tongue down someone’s ear in order for them to hear him.

That was fine, though, Remus didn’t really feel like talking. Instead, he stood along a wall with a drink in his hand as he watched you laugh and twirl on the dance floor with Lily, Mary, and Marlene.

The four of you are really quite a sight to behold. Completely lost in your own bubble of music and girlhood and bliss, your group dances like there’s no one else in the room.

Every once in a while, some dumb bloke will feel brave enough to approach you four, and Remus almost laughs at the way you all glare and snarl at them until they back off.

Almost.

Because he can’t really blame them but he does anyway.

And then Sirius moves in and steals you away; he’d asked all four of you if you’d like to dance, but James moved in on Lily right quick after that and Marlene flipped him the bird before grabbing Mary and heading towards the bar.

You smile sweetly at Sirius, laughing when he bows and holds his hand out to you like an aristocrat in the regency era asking you to participate in an intricate ball dance with him.

And then the two of you are pressed close to one another, swaying in time to the music; your fists are tangled in Sirius’ clothes in order to keep him close and his hands cradle you reverently.

He leans down to murmur something into your ear and he must have said something horridly crude because you’re swatting at his chest chidingly and laughing. And Remus feels like he’s going to be sick, so he tosses his still full cup in the garbage and pulls an Irish goodbye.

He’ll text everyone later.

But he feels just as sick at home as he did in the club and even the two more beers he manages to drink on his own doesn’t help settle his nerves as he watches his phone and waits.

And waits and waits and waits.

For what, well, Remus isn’t quite sure.

It’s well past closing time, the bars would have long kicked the lot of you out.

He wonders if you’ve ever thought of calling him when you’ve had a few. He wonders if your fingers ever itched to ring him the way his own do right now.

He falls asleep on his sofa, the image of you and Sirius pressed up against each other seared into the back of his retinas replaying on a loop when his eyes finally fall closed.

Remus doesn’t go to the club the next time everyone goes out. The group lets out a series of complaints and protests, but what almost has him second guessing his decision is the furrow of your brows as you consider him.

Almost.

But he’s still being plagued by images of you and Sirius slotting your hips together on the dancefloor and he can’t do it.

Not again. Not tonight.

So he stays home, and he stays up well into the early morning hours with his paperback in his hand, and he doesn’t realise that he’d actually been staying up for a reason; that he’d actually been staying up waiting for something. Hoping for something.

He doesn’t realise this until his phone starts to ring, and his stomach unfurls and he’s dropping his book - effectively losing his spot - and launching for his phone.

It’s you.

“Hello?” He manages to get out, bemusement and excitement both evident in his voice. He nearly kicks himself for the blunder until he hears you let out what sounds like a sigh of relief.

“Rem?”

He smiles unbiddenly. “Hi, dove.”

“Hi, Rem.”

Remus pulls his lips between his teeth as he fights against a beaming smile that you couldn’t see anyway but it still feels like an admission.

“Where are you? Are you alright?”

“Yeah.” You let out with a long sigh. “I’m alright.”

“Where are you?” He asks again.

“Home.”

“Yeah? That’s good.” Remus says. The line is quiet, save your breathing.

“Did you have fun tonight?” He tries.

You let out a noncommittal sound. “Yeah…yeah I had fun.”

“You don’t sound so sure.”

“Wasn’t s’much fun as last time.” You slur; somehow, that makes Remus smile even brighter.

“Yeah? Why’s that?”

You let out another long sigh. “I d’know.”

Remus hums into the phone and reclines back onto his sofa, listening to the sound of your breathing and wonders if maybe you aren’t falling asleep on him.

“Rem?” You ask suddenly.

“Yeah?”

You let out a hum of acknowledgment. “Thought you were gone.”

Remus hums in the negative. “I’m right here.”

More silence.

“Why’d you call, dove?” Remus asks, and he immediately squeezes his eyes shut in regret because he already decided that he didn’t want to know - couldn’t handle to know - if this flows both ways, and it feels like too much of an admission.

You held all the aces; this man sitting on the other end of the line often falls asleep to the sound of your laughter, obsesses over images of you with anyone who doesn’t happen to be him, who has to physically hide his phone from himself when he’s drunk because he yearns for nothing more than hearing your voice.

Like this…

“I just…” you start, your drink-addled brain working hard to articulate your thoughts properly. “I just wanted to talk to you. I just wanted to hear your voice.”

Remus should have known you’d be ten times braver than he.

“Have you ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few, Rem?” You ask him in turn.

And, well, if the two of you were being honest…

“All the time.”

You let out a pleased hum. “Good.” You decide. “I was worried it was just me.”
