#elvendork

[neverenoughmarauders]

Reading canon James and Sirius is very therapeutic after too much time in the fandom

“Names?” repeated the long-haired driver. “Er – well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce… Bathsheba… Elvendork…”

“And what’s nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy or a girl,” said the boy in glasses.

“Oh, OUR names, did you mean?” asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage. “You should’ve said! This here is James Potter, and I’m Sirius Black!”

“Things’ll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little —”

But neither James nor Sirius was paying attention. They were suddenly as alert as gundogs, staring past Fisher and Anderson, over the roof of the police car, at the dark mouth of the alley. Then, with identical fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.

There's a doctor at this treatment facility whose name is not quite, but very close to, Dr. Elvendork.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh my god elvendork i forgot about this they are perfect

for the new besties that haven’t a clue what an elvendork is it comes from a less than 1k short story hiss hiss nasty terf author wrote about James and sirius having a run in with muggle police. And I hate to give her credit but it is actually very entertaining. Here’s the link if you wanted to read (i don’t think she gets royalties from clicking??) and if you want to view the page without the ads hit escape key before the page loads all the way :)

A couple of absolute Elvendorks.

Day 6 – Passenger

Sirius Black & James Potter

Prompt list

[elvendorkinfinity]

Rewatching GO2 Episode 6 and becoming more and more convinced that at least part of the reason Aziraphale went from an initial reaction of "I've made my position quite clear" (i.e. no, I'm not even going to listen), through "I don't want to go back to Heaven" (pretty clear cut rejection) to ultimately accepting the promotion and actually going with Metatron is because he realises, or is convinced, that his only reasons for NOT doing so are selfish ones, and he can't bear to make the selfish decision.

He initially effectively says no - I made my decision when I chose to protect Earth. He says this in different ways at least twice. He has also shown numerous times all the way back to the Garden that he is willing to sacrifice himself and his position in order to do good. Look at him giving the sword away and lying to God about it. Look at him lying to Gabriel to save Job's children even though he is convinced he'll Fall for it. He acts because he genuinely thinks it is the right thing to do. This is not someone who acts for personal power or safety.

Then he is told Crowley can join him (and even here doesn't actually say YES yet, he just doesn't say NO either, and both Crowley and Metatron make assumptions) and he starts to change his mind.

Aziraphale is clearly ecstatic with the whole idea as soon as he thinks Crowley will be joining him. (As soon as he has clear evidence, in this offer, that he really will be able to make tangible changes.)

Crowley turns it down. Aziraphale is visibly devastated. (Also he definitely pulled Crowley in a bit during the kiss, you do not press someone's shoulder towards you to push them away from a kiss... Anyway, neither here nor there for this discussion.)

I think Aziraphale realises/is convinced that if he refuses Heaven's/Metatron's offer, the only real reasons for that are selfish ones: He wants to stay with Crowley, with his bookshop, on Earth. Those are what he WANTS to do. They are not what he SHOULD do, from an objective "how can I do the most good" standpoint, with the assumption (justified or otherwise) that in taking the job he will be able to make changes for the better.

We are obviously all heartbroken and the consensus is generally that Aziraphale made the wrong decision. And he did. For his own and Crowley's happiness.

But even if all the "good" he manages to do ends up being perhaps advance warning of any plans Heaven has, rather than being able to change them or change Heaven as a whole, as he clearly wants to... Then that could be really important for the world/humanity/etc. And Aziraphale doesn't have all the information we do, or the perspective we do.

Possible unpopular opinion time, but... From Aziraphale's perspective, taking out "selfish" (at least, personal) reasoning? Giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming he will be able to make at least some of the changes he wants to make (we know he won't, he doesn't)... He arguably made the right choice for the good of everyone except himself and Crowley.

Aziraphale is "too pure hearted" to make the selfish choice here, or the one he perceives as selfish. He can't sacrifice the opportunity to do good for his own happiness (even assuming he could be happy if he didn't at least try and change things).

This is also why Beelzebub and Gabriel were able to "go off together" but Crowley and Aziraphale can't. Neither Gabriel nor Beelzebub care about Earth or humans at all, or have any interest in protecting it or anyone other than themselves/each other. Aziraphale and Crowley both care far too much for their own good. Aziraphale, in this decision, definitely does.

(I also think part of him is hoping that he can make the changes, do good, turn things around in Heaven… And Crowley might be convinced and change his mind. I think he's still holding out hope that Crowley will join him in the end.)

hiii this is the w*lfstar anon from before and i just re-read the harry potter prequel and oh my god. i reiterate... i really dont understand how anyone could be a w*lfstar shipper when we have canonical moments of james and sirius going out on the bike and being assholes .... the way they play off each other.... the chemistry ... some quotes i thought youd appreciate:

'“Get off the bike!” he bellowed at the smirking youths, who sat basking in the flashing blue light as though enjoying it' ... james and sirius looking for trouble being cocky and arrogant when they get caught bc theyre sooo confident they can get out of this situation + they both think its funny THEY ENJOY BASKING IN THE BLUE LIGHT!!!!

sirius immediately being an asshole when the guy asks for names and starts just??? listing random fucking names and james playing off it?? its so funny theyre so horrible together

'They were suddenly as alert as gundogs ... Then, with identical fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.' IDENTICAL FLUID MOVEMENTS!!!!!! MOVING IN TANDEM!! this reminds me of that parallel you once made of james and sirius standing up and remus and peter staying sitting down.

'James and Sirius zoomed away into the night sky, their tail light twinkling behind them like a vanishing ruby' sorry isnt that like immediately more romantic than 100% of the w*lfstar hcs on here

so in conclusion i again cant fathom how w*lfstar is even a thing when we get CANONICAL moments like this between james and sirius

they're so UNINTENTIONALLY ROMANTIC they're actual soulmates and james is a full-on background character. it makes me ILL.

"the boy who was riding pillion was sure to be flung under his wheels" - sirius likes riding the bike with james best because he knows james can handle the sharp turns because of his broom skills <333

yesssss the fluid movement and moving in sync makes me feral. they do it in snape's worst memory as well

i will also NEVER get over the matching t-shirts - did they make them themselves??? do they buzz each other on the mirror like "u wearing the phoenix shirt? good me too see u soon love u bye"

i also think that “Names?” repeated the long-haired driver. “Er – well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce… Bathsheba… Elvendork…” is such a good example of sirius' sense of humour. he's a silly boy at heart

i just love them - "vanishing ruby" should be their poetic ship name

[neverenoughmarauders]

Sirius and James lived to break rules, so watch me break the law with them.

"How can u ship prongsfoot wolfstar is law!"

Sounds like a skill issue to me ngl

@mppmaraudergirl's Alight With Happiness Fest 2024

Day 2: The Little Doe-mestic Moments

Indulgence (383 words)

Summary: A quiet afternoon at Godric's Hollow

“I’m back,” James announced as he stepped inside the little cottage. He closed the door shut as quietly as he could, lest he wake up the sleeping baby and shuffled straight away to the kitchen, where he placed the grocery bags on the dining table. He took out a small card - a birthday invite he had received from Tilda who lived next street over - and placed it next to the bags.  “Hello, Dorky,” he greeted the cat that brushed past his legs cheerfully. Elvendork licked his lips, looking up expectantly at the bags. “After lunch,” he said and stepped over the cat, walking into the living room. The sight in front of him brought a smile to his face, filling his heart with warmth.

Prongsfoot Week 2024 Day 3

DAY 3 - 

New to Prongsfoot Week: Favorite Canon/Potentially Canon moment

A very simple answer is everyday Prongsfoot.

Platonic or romantic. I love slice of life and I just can't get enough of thinking about how the boys would be during their Hogwarts Year in the lessons, and in the Common Room and in their room. Plotting and pranking and falling in love with each other without even knowing it's happening.

And I do adore the little snippet about the two of them in Order Of The Phoenix, being chased on Sirius' bike by Muggle police officers. Elvendork and all. I just want to see them carefree and enjoying life, enjoying all those things that were so so shortlived for them.

Day 3

New to Prongsfoot Week: Favorite Canon/Potentially Canon moment - IE, something like Sirius comforting James after the DADA OWL and Lily’s reaction or (even though it’s platonic) the moment James asked Sirius to be Harry’s godfather.  

The entirety of the auction short story, where these two assholes fight Death Eaters, cause problems for muggle police, wear matching t-shirts, and are irreverent little shits on a motorcycle. Elvendork is a unisex name and they will name a future child that, probably.

[artemisia-black]

Sirius and James would totally have a podcast but nobody listens because it’s just their in jokes.

Think the Elvendork joke but dial it waaaay up

[padfootswhiskers]

How about 7 for Harry and 14 for Sirius?

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

While I read the books ages ago, I’ve only recently joined the fandom so my apologies if this is wildly wrong 😂 but what I’ve noticed in the corners of fandom I’ve interacted with so far is that for the most part, people genuinely love Harry! No matter how much they might differ on other, er, more controversial characters. Which is great, because Harry is extremely lovable!

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Okay this one’s interesting! When we actually meet Sirius, he’s just escaped from Azkaban so he’s wearing prison robes. In both gof and ootp, he’s wearing robes again, which I imagine must be plain af because Harry never describes their colour/pattern (but this doesn’t really mean he prefers wizarding robes since at this point in canon he’s got like, 99 other, more pressing problems than what to wear, xD.) We also know Sirius can dress convincingly as a Muggle (unlike several other witches and wizards we see in the series). As can James, apparently, since we have this from the Elvendork prequel:

Both were dressed in T-shirts emblazoned with a large golden bird; the emblem, no doubt, of some deafening, tuneless rock band.

The only firm headcanon I have of his fashion aesthetic is…it’s really low effort. It’s careless.

Whether it’s wizarding robes or Muggle jeans, Sirius is the type of guy who’d look drop dead gorgeous rolling out of bed in his bedcovers. I can’t see him wearing carefully embroidered robes like Yaxley or wacky colours like Dumbledore, and jeans and a simple tee are pretty much the only Muggle clothing I can see him in. I don’t get the impression that Sirius particularly cares about his appearance. He just doesn’t have to.

So basically, my answer is…the aesthetic wherein you get the sense that he hasn’t tried at all, and that makes it sexier, somehow 😂
