thinking about hope and lyall again

the lupin family, 1960s

If I see one more person act like Remus Lupin wasn't loved by his parents as a child, I'm gonna go and tell Lyall and Hope, and they're gonna cut you a lovely slice of bara brith and tell you why you're wrong.

[remvs-black]

headcannon that remus knew how to stitch, sew, knit, and crochet, things he learned from hope who taught him as a way to pass time, especially during the long, lonely stretches when he was recovering from his transformations. remus took to it naturally, his slender and nimble fingers deftly threading needles and weaving yarn, finding it extremely therapeutic. when he arrived at hogwarts, it wasn’t long before the marauders discovered just how handy their moony was with a needle and thread. james, peter, and sirius would often come to him with torn robes, frayed hems, or missing buttons, but it was sirius' robes that remus especially paid attention to, sometimes he added subtle, personalized touches, like embroidering tiny stars or paw prints along the edges, just for sirius. sirius, of course, had more than enough gold to buy new robes whenever he wanted, but he loved wearing the ones remus had fixed and personalized. he’d wear them until they were practically falling apart and then when he did get new ones he'd ask remus to personalize them again ♡

I am a Remus Lupin calls Hope ‘Mama’ truther

[seriouslysiriusblack]

Sirius: He wouldn't want someone like me. (he's rotten from his parents and doesn't think he can love properly)

Remus: He wouldn't want someone like me. (he's not good enough for sirius who has been hurt enough)

[curiouslymyown]

Remus’ love language is baking, Hope was the best baker ever and she taught Remus everything she knew

[idlerfever]

hope lupin you are so special to me

[theprongspotter]

Euphemia: *sighs*

McGonagall: They never listen, do they?

Pomfrey, rubbing her temples: It’s exhausting.

Hope: Being a mom is hard.

James, sitting down beside them: Tell me about it.

[oh-phoenixx]

my view of the marauders' parents !!

james: euphemia and fleamont my LOVES <3 i think they're obviously very open and understanding, but i reckon they still had their issues. james was such an independent child that they kind of thought he could take care of himself and sometimes all he wanted was his parents. not that they weren't there, they just didn't realise they had to be.

sirius and regulus: quite obvious, they were very abusive BUT they loved their children. they were caught in a cycle of abuse and had no idea how to show the love they felt for sirius and regulus as it had never been shown to them. there are no excuses for abuse but if there's any explanation it's theirs.

peter: his parents loved him and wanted what was best for him, but they sort of lived vicariously through him and so projected all their goals onto him and unintentionally made him feel like a failure.

remus: seemingly unpopular opinion but lyall and hope were both great parents. lyall loved remus SO much. i reckon he was quite stoic and didn't express himself very well, but he loved remus and hope more than anything. hope tended to dote on remus, as a lot of parents of children with disabilities/illnesses do (*cough* speaking from experience as an autistic person *cough*). she was a little overbearing, but she meant well.

lily: someone said something about her parents being religious and that's stuck with me. i don't think they would be okay with her being queer, and i think their love always feels conditional to her. i think at some point they start to favour petunia because she does everything expected of her, which is the final straw in pulling the sisters apart.

marlene: in my head she's a halfblood and her mum is very religious as well. i think she has a bunch of siblings (like five) so her parents' attention always feels divided. they're not bad parents necessarily, but marlene would be so ready to move out (okay this might just be tcoptp marlene).

mary: i feel like she's a halfblood and her mum was the witch, but she died, so mary's got a muggle dad, step-mother and step-sister (stealing from tcoptp again) and she just feels really ignored, like her dad stopped caring after he met her step-mother. she's a daddy's girl at heart tho. also she has a little brother who's only a year younger than her named eric (referencing my own fanfic here :3).

barty: barty crouch sr. when i catch you barty crouch sr. his dad has insane expectations for barty yet doesn't show any pride when barty actually achieves these goals. normally he's more neglectful than abusive. his entire life is his job, and he doesn't show any love for barty or his mum. barty spent so long just trying to make his father proud, but at some point realised he never would, so he did everything possible to rebel against him. barty's mother loves him so much, and the only reason barty doesn't run away is because he can't leave her. they're very close but barty sometimes feels bitter that she doesn't stop his dad from acting the way he does (but he knows realistically there's not much she can do).

evan and pandora: think what you will about their parents, in my head they are loving, silly, and strange. they enable evan and pandora to do all their little experiments and fun things because they're the exact same way. they're the effie and monty of the skittles. they definitely dote on felix, and it sort of seems like they favour him, but they just feel guilty because both of his older siblings are away all of the time and so he's on his own. they're a little unhinged, probably the type of parents to ask their kids' friends weirdly invasive questions, but they're just odd.

emmeline: for some reason i have this hc that emmeline and barty are childhood friends. i don't know any canonical information about emmeline, so idk if this is directly contradicted in any way, but in my head emmeline's dad works at the ministry which is how emmeline and barty know each other. emmeline's dad is quite strict and overprotective, and her mum sort of lives vicariously through her. emmeline sometimes feels a little suffocated around them, but she's close to them since she doesn't have to see them very often. if she was living with them full time, they would definitely have a tense relationship. also emmeline has a younger sister who starts hogwarts when she's in fifth year.

dorcas: her mother had her when she was really young and her father wasn't ready to raise a child so she raised dorcas alone. she blames dorcas for ruining her life, since she'd had loads of dreams and plans she'd had to put on hold for dorcas's sake. dorcas has a really strange relationship with her because sometimes she's really loving, and the next second they're screaming at each other (dna guarantee is literally their song btw).

The one Hope knitted - a wolfstar microfic

@wolfstarmicrofic - December 18: Jumper - Words: 456

“We need to go.”

“Just a moment.”

If Remus hadn’t been so anxious, he would probably have noticed the strange tension in Sirius' voice more. His mother was released from the hospital today and they needed to be there and pick her up.

Sirius finally emerged from the bedroom only to lock himself in the bathroom instead.

”What’s taking so long?” Remus yelled annoyedly.

Sure, they would hardly kick Hope out if they were ten minutes late, but he didn’t want to keep her waiting. He’d done everything he could for her, first with the slowly but surely advancing dementia, then the breast cancer and now the blood clot in her lungs.

Sirius had been a big help through it all. He had driven her to as many appointments as Remus had. He had been his shoulder to cry on for countless nights. He even followed Remus to his childhood home yesterday to discard every bad item in the fringe, restock and put on clean sheets for her to come home to.

They hurried down the stairs and towards the parking lot. Sirius crossed his arms and raised his shoulders in the chilly wind. Remus rolled his eyes and pulled out Sirius’ jumper that he’d made a habit of packing.

Sirius stopped.

Remus looked quizzingly at him.

“T-that’s the one Hope knitted for me.”

“Yes. Do you want to go back after another one?”

“No!”

Sirius grabbed the jumper, pulled it on and started walking again. A sniffling sound made Remus look at him, but he held his head turned the other way.

“Sirius?”

“Hm?” he said in a high pitch with his head still turned away.

“Love?” Remus put a hand on Sirius arm.

“Sorry”, Sirius sniffled and wiped his eyes as he hurried on towards their car, “I’ll get it together.”

“It’s ok,” Remus mumbled a bit caught off guard.

“I should be stronger than this. We’re in a hurry. And it’s your mother”, Sirius sobbed.

Remus caught up to him and forced him to stop by pulling him into a hug.

“I think you have been strong for long enough.”

Sirius squeezed him tightly and pressed his forehead into Remus' shoulder. He gulped and whimpered, with breaths too quick and tears and snot wetting Remus' neck. Remus held him securely, smoothed his hand soothingly over his hair and pressed small kisses to the temple and top of his head.

Sirius cleared his throat and straightened up again. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be.” Remus wiped Sirius' tear-stained cheeks with his fingers. “I should have stopped to ask how you were doing a bit sooner, shouldn’t I?”

“But it’s your mother,” Sirius protested.

“Maybe. But we’re in this together. Now let me drive today, yeah?”

“Please.”

most interesting part of childhood trauma caused by a non family member is parents having to raise a ghost of the child they were meant to have and coming to terms with the new reality

and by this I mean Hope Lupin that raised a sunshine child and saw it break, then break again every month

unable to help beyond hugs and a warm meal every morning

she loves him, she'll give him everything, but she'll also always regret not bringing him to bed that night

she has been bedridden from guilt at different points for not being great enough to save him (she's the best mom Remus could've had)

First Time Meeting the Parents Part 2

As requested by @just-m-0-n-1-k-4 here is the second part of Prompt 3 - First Time Meeting the Parents. I hope you enjoy it. Lulu xx

The cottage was exactly what Sirius had imagined it: cosy, a little overcrowded with bits and bobs, the smell of fresh bread and a wood fire. Hope ushered him into the kitchen and onto a scrubbed wooden chair at the matching table. He could really see himself living here. 

“Tell me all about yourself, Sirius,” Hope gushed as she busied herself with the kettle and plucking dainty buns from an old quality street tin before setting them on a chipped white plate. 

“Not much to tell, Mrs Lupin, I’m sure your story would be far more interesting than mine,” Sirius told her as he accepted one of the buns. 

“He doesn’t like talking about his family and stuff, Mum,” Remus told her, pressing a kiss into her hair as he leant around her and snagged four of the buns for himself. 

“Remus Lupin, stop being a greedy guts, and save some for your boyfriend!” Hope chastised Remus. Sirius watched them with a well of emotion bubbling up inside him. This was what he’d wanted from a mother. Instead, he’d ended up with Walburga Black, a strict, child-abusing monster who lived to torment her children. 

“Sorry, Mum,” Remus apologised, using the distraction to grab another bun and shove it into his mouth. 

“You little terror,” Hope cried with a laugh on her lips as she chased Remus around the table with a wooden spoon. 

“Ahem,” The levity instantly left the merry kitchen as Remus’s father, Lyall Lupin, made his entrance. This feeling was more familiar to Sirius, and he felt himself sitting up straighter in the stern man's presence. 

“Hey, Da,” Remus grinned, nipping past Hope and avoiding her spoon as he went to hug his father. Lyall’s lined expression transformed into a loving smile as he opened his arms to his son. 

“Stop staying away so long,” he grumbled into Remus’s ear. Sirius noticed that he and Remus were the same height, an odd occurrence as Remus usually towered over anyone they met. 

“Sorry, Dad.” Remus apologised, his hand sneaking back across the table to try and grab another bun. 

Remus managed to snag one, but before he could get it into his mouth, Lyall had it and popped it into his own mouth whole. “Hey!” Remus complained but Lyall raised an eyebrow. 

“That tin was full five minutes ago. It doesn’t look like your guest has even had a bite, and half of the buns are gone.” Remus snickered and gave his father one last squeeze before letting him go and moving to Sirius’s side. 

“Da, this is Sirius,” he introduced Sirius proudly. Sirius immediately got to his feet and stuck out his hand. 

“Mr Lupin, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” he held his breath while he waited for Lyall to respond. 

Lyall’s face clouded, but he took Sirius’s hand and gave it a firm shake. 

“Tea, dear?” Hope asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. 

“Please,” Lyall said, letting go of Sirius’s hand. 

Remus and Hope put together the tea. Hope had to keep herding Remus away from what was left of the buns as they set everything up and went to sit in the living room with Lyall. 

The conversation was a bit stilted at first, but as soon as Remus told Lyall that Sirius was a history nerd, he and Lyall had more than enough to talk about. 

Hours later and multiple cups of tea, Remus was finally able to drag Sirius away from his father. 

“We have to get back. James and Lily are making us dinner,” Remus told his parents. Hope’s eyes were very watery as she hugged them both goodbye and pushed another tin of cakes into Remus’s hands.

His first meeting with Remus’s parents had gone far better than he ever could have imagined. He was already planning what gifts he could bring them both the next time they visited. They were just passing the front of the cottage on the way to the gate when Lyall’s voice drifted towards them through the open living room window.  

“His hair is too long, but I like him. Better than the last one, at least,” Sirius’s smile broke his face in two it was so wide. He couldn’t wait to come back. Remus grabbed him and pressed a kiss to his lips before they continued on home.

Hope who sends remus a letter every valentine to remind him he is loved. Every single year without fail and he keeps them all because hes a mamas boy

[pixiedustriri]

Okay hear me out

When Remus was little and struggling with the concept of being a werwolf, Hope taught him how to brush her hair, to show him that even if he was a werewolf, he could be gentle and he wouldn’t hurt her. It kind of became a thing, whenever he needed to be reminded that he wasn’t a monster, she would sit him down and have him brush her hair.

Then when he started Hogwarts, he met a boy his age who decided he wanted long hair, unfortunately for this boy he had no idea how to take care of long hair and the first few months were difficult to witness. When Remus became friends with the boy, Sirius, he showed him how to take care of his long hair and sometimes Sirius even let him brush it.

When they got closer, it became their thing. When either of them needed grounding or sometimes after a particularly bad moon Remus would sit and brush Sirius’ hair, if only to remind himself he’s not a monster and he won’t hurt anyone.
