Love how Jack Horner’s horses are unicorns with the horns sawed off

would love to hear more about poly marauders please! 👀💖

Copying @annabtg rather than answering twice!

Poly marauders is lilywolfstarbucks (I've never been able to find a name for them that I like!), and is actually a surprise for @krethes's birthday. Considering her birthday ends in about an hour an a half, i've thoroughly failed on finishing it by then (maybe tomorrow... which I think is what I did last year too).

It's actually a lot of domestic fluff for the four of them. Established relationship among all of them, living in the same house. Mildly smutty, unless somehow the explicit smut jumps out before I finish it (which is possible), but mostly just fluff with the teensy-est bit of conflic.

Snippet below the cut:

Of all of them, falling for Sirius was a surprise. She’d fallen for James first. Of course, she did. Loving James was easy. James was made of love and had so much to share. She’d watched from afar as he loved Remus and Sirius, not even suspecting that she could be part of it too until she heard them encouraging James through a date with someone else.

If loving James was easy, falling for Remus was inevitable. He’d waited for her, unassuming and patient, until she’d felt herself pulled to him as well. She hadn't been sure, before then, that she could love more than one man, as though her heart could put a cap on the love she felt. But Remus was kind and sweet, and he cared for her even when she thought she had nothing to return, and she (inevitably, irrevocably) fell for him too.

She’d thought that would be it, and that was fine. Sirius was her friend, and they loved the same men, and that was enough. They called themselves queer platonic and family, but there was no intention on being romantic. 

Except Sirius had always been physical, needing touch to keep those he loved close to him, and that extended to her as well. It was a head on her shoulder when they sat next to each other, or pulling her into his lap when sitting around the table, or even with their fingers intertwined while their lovers were on top of them in bed. The longer they were all together, the more frequent and intense the touches grew. 

One day, while James and Remus were out together, Sirius pulled her to sit between his legs while they watched a movie together. His hands wandered, busying themselves along the strip of skin at her hips, across her stomach under her shirt, down her shorts until fingers dipped inside of her. Lily gasped his name into his mouth when he made her come, and that was it. 

There was no surprise on their faces with James and Remus returned to find Sirius slotted between her legs on the couch, only pleased smiles as they piled themselves into a chair nearby to watch. 

“I thought you didn’t like women?” Marlene asked on the next pub night when Sirius snogged Lily in front of them all. 

“I don’t,” Sirius said, draping an arm around her shoulders, “but I love Lily.” 

There hadn’t been any question about it after that. He was hers, as much as James and Remus were hers, and she was theirs.
