[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

It was Peter's nature to drool after girls that didn't even register him. In a scale of 1 to 10. Peter focused on the top ones. Remus had told him in multiple occasions that the scale was bullshit. And that Peter was more than a stupid number. Because if Remus thought about that scale, Sirius was an eleven. And Remus barely got to five. Therefore, nothing could ever happen between them.

"Only blokes like Sirius or James can get tens, Moony. That's why I go for numbers lower than mine"

"And what number are you?"

"Clearly a seven" Peter shrugged "Susan was a solid six. Decent, pretty. But not a ten"

Remus could see Peter said that because he was actually hurt. Even if Peter's first girlfriend had been a bitch, Peter had loved her.

Now that Peter was single, he focused on every single girl at Hogwarts. Make them pretty, with decent curves, bam, he was in love. Peter had talked and talked about the beauty of being single and having eyes for all "the babes".

Mary Macdonald clearly was one of the babes this term. Marlene was out of the market for liking girls and Lily practically belonged to James, but Mary was single. Single and very very pretty.

The first weekend of term, James and Peter volunteered to help girls unpack, lift their books or trunks, with the mere purpose of gaining their chances as they put it.

That morning, Sirius and Remus watched as their friends played gentlemen to flirt.

"Look at them, Moony. Practically slaves to get a snog" Sirius tutted.

James was helping Lily, who was more friendly with him lately and Peter helped Mary lift her books to store in her new locker.

"Thank you, darling" Mary smiled when Peter was done "You're really sweet" and she squeezed his cheek.

"You're welcome"

The gesture made Peter go bright red as Mary walked away. Which was a good opportunity for his friends to make fun of him.

"Pete is such a sweet boy!" Sirius mumbled in a voice people only used on babies and puppies.

"Are you blushing?" Remus asked with a mockery tone "Look Sirius, he is going red!"

"What?" Peter shrugged "Mary is very pretty"

"Aaaw she's pretty!" Remus teased with a smile.

"Peteboo is in love" Sirius added patting his cheeks.

Despite the fact his blush didn't go, Peter was smiling "Do you think she would give me a chance?"

"You want to go after Macdonald?" Sirius snorted.

"Maybe..." Peter answered as he stared at Mary's dress "She's fine, ain't she?"

"Come on, Wormtail" Sirius smiled "Mary is an easy target"

"Yeah" Peter nodded.

"But she is not that desperate, mate" Sirius laughed.

"Sirius..." Remus warned. Sometimes Sirius needed to be more subtle, more considerate with Peter. What Remus had learned was that James and Sirius liked to tease Peter around. And sometimes it was in an innocent way, all jokes. A rare show of affection. But sometimes Sirius didn't measure the line.

"You think I don't have a chance with her?" Peter snapped angrily.

Sirius was smiling "Not to offend, Wormy. But you're a bit thick when it comes to girls"

"Oh! Because you are a fucking expert, aren't you?"

Everything with Sirius was explosive. He did and said without thinking. Everything about him was competition, fun, and danger.

"As a matter of fact, yes. I am an expert in women" Sirius snapped back "I can have anyone I want. Even Macdonald"

"Guys..." Remus tried to intervene. He sensed a fight. But they weren't paying attention at him anymore.

Peter laughed "As if Mary would give you a chance"

"Maybe she hasn't because I haven't gone after her" Sirius answered "And I actually don't know why. She is bloody hot"

Remus rolled his eyes. He didn't know why he thought Sirius would be different this term. On the past year, Remus had realized Sirius was not the cute boy who never wanted to get married anymore. He was a handsome teenager. And for Remus's disfortune, Sirius had his history with girls. Even if Remus fancied him, he was not going to stop being the flirtatious asshole everyone knew.

"I thought you said it was because she's James's ex and it is against rules going after the same girl..." Remus reminded them "Marauders Code"

"Prongs is not going to care. He's obsessed with Evans now" Sirius said.

"Going against the code, eh Padfoot?" Peter tutted.

"Scared I might steal Macdonald from you, Wormtail?"

"You don't even like her, Pads" Remus intercepted trying not to sound jealous.

"Everyone thinks Mary is hot" Sirius shrugged "We've all fantasized about her for sure"

Everyone? Remus hadn't. He'd fantasized with Sirius though, a lot.

"I'm not scared!" Peter spat, ignoring them "Not all girls are into you, pretty boy"

"Pretty boy?" Sirius asked.

"I can conquer Macdonald before you. Do you want to bet?"

Last term, it had hurt Remus that Sirius had kissed Marlene. Because Marlene was not any other girl. She was an amazing girl and their friend. And even if Marlene turned out to be a lesbian, the same thing applied for Mary. Mary was a friend. And a really nice girl.

"Shouldn't we ask Prongs first?" Remus asked looking between the two.

"Bet is on, Pettigrew!" Sirius extended his hand with a stupid smirk.

Remus wanted to stop them. He really did.

"Right on, Black" Peter shook his hand.

But boys were boys. They did stupid things sometimes like making stupid bets.

For the next days, Sirius and Peter competed to gain Mary's attention. They got her gifts, complimented her looks, suggested plans.

Remus tried to think Sirius wasn't actually interested in Mary. He did it all because he was an idiot. Though Remus tried to find excuses to finish this nonsense.

Mary didn't seem to mind. She found the whole thing amusing. She was the kind of girl who loved the attention.

"I'm flattered honestly" she told Remus and the girls one time "I know this is all a joke" she giggled "But it still fun. I want to see what they do next"

"It's horrid, Mary" Lily tutted "Boys are truly idiots"

"You don't mind when it is James flirting with you and giving you gifts"

Lily blushed at that comment "We're not talking about me"

Remus made a mental note to tell James later.

And talking about James, he laughed when the boys told him about the bet. Remus had the hope he would stop it. But he didn't.

"You are fools if you think Mary is going to give any of you a chance" he had said "But carry on. I want to see how this goes"

"What about the code, James?" Remus asked him "Mary is your ex"

The boy shrugged "I love Mary but she's in the past. I'm all Evans now. We're getting closer now that we're Head Boy and Head Girl"

So that gave green light for Sirius and Peter to carry on. Mary accepted the flirting and gifts but when they asked for a chance or a date, she refused.

"That's sounds wonderful, Pete. And you're adorable. But I am busy this weekend"

"No, Sirius. I won't be one of your other conquers, darling. Shame you're cute"

Remus decided to relax and enjoy the show. For one, it was really funny and satisfying to see Sirius being rejected. But on the other side, Remus's mind told him that this was a sign that Sirius would always be after some girl. Even if it wasn't Mary, other girls would come, girls who would be dying to give him a chance. And Remus had to sit and watch all of that happen. That was the sad thing of being in love with his best friend.

"Why don't you stop with this nonsense, Sirius?" Remus asked, practically groaning when Mary rejected an invitation to Hogsmeade. "You don't even fancy the girl. Why bother?"

Sirius smiled as he grabbed the cigarette from Remus's hand without permission and took a drag before answering.

"Sirius Black never backs up from a challenge" he grinned before letting the smoke out.

"Peter actually fancies her, Pads" Remus added, feeling his throat go dry "Give him a chance"

"Peter is a horny wanker. He likes everyone" Sirius laughed "I saw him staring at Mildred Greenfield the other day when she bended to pick up her pencil and her blouse's buttons popped open"

"And you surely noticed that as well" Remus rolled his eyes.

Sirius simply shrugged with a smile and kept smoking.

"And that's my fag!" Remus snapped taking the cigarette for himself.

"Don't be pouty, Moony" Sirius said, squeezing Remus's chin "I only do it for my honor. Plus, maybe with the pressure, Pettigrew might actually get somewhere with Macdonald"

Remus rolled his eyes "Whatever"

"Do not let Sirius quit the bet or let me win out of pity, Remus!" Peter told him later "I want to prove he's not that impressive among birds. I can get girls as well. Right?"

"Sure, Wormy. But I don't want you guys to fight over this"

"You think I can not get a ten?" Peter asked while looking at Remus with disdain "I know Mary is a ten and tens are difficult. But I am sick of going after fives or sixs. I want the bloody ten!"

There was no use. Remus thought this stupid game would last forever. Maybe risking the Marauders integrity. Though Sirius and Peter were the usual same. Bickering like brothers when it came to Mary. But loving each other as always. James was too busy with the Rugby Team now that he was captain and his Head Boy duties. So it was up to Remus to endure this alone.

Two weeks lasted this nonsense until everything changed when Remus was approached by someone at breakfast.

"Hey Reminald"

Remus had met Emmeline Vance in a party over the summer. She was pretty even if she wasn't commonly feminine as the rest of the girls in this school. She had piercings and tattoos which Remus considered cool. And she had surprised Remus with a kiss that night. But Remus had been slightly drunk to actually enjoy it.

Remus saw her again in the train at the beginning of term when they had a more sober chat in which Emmeline made him laugh "You have a very pretty laugh, Reminald"

Remus didn't know how to flirt. He wasn’t Sirius. So he blushed instead.

"My name is Remus"

"Reminald is like my nickname for you, mate" Emmeline smiled amused "I guess I'll see you around school"

Since classes started, Remus hadn't seen her until now.

The usual friend group had been teasing James and Lily who insisted of being only friends when it was obvious they both fancied each other. But were interrupted when Emmeline approached. They all looked between Remus and Emmeline with amusement. Except for Sirius who rolled his eyes.

"Hey Emmeline" Remus could feel his cheeks on fire. He hated the attention.

"This might sound kind of upfront and bold but I am sick and tired of waiting for you to ask me out"

Remus heard the gasps and giggles from his friends. And he went more red if possible.

Emmeline Vance was not the kind of girl to get embarrassed. She smiled with satisfaction and Remus found her extremely hot.

"I know you are shy which is cute but think about it, okay?"

Remus simply nodded because he was frozen to do anything else. Emmeline smiled in response.

"Bye guys" she announced to the group before walking away. So beautiful and confident as she was.

Immediately after, Remus's friends began teasing.

"Blimey, Moony. You cheeky dog!"

"Aaw she is totally into you"

"What did you do to her to leave her like that?"

"Remus is blushing!!"

"Oh shut up!" Remus covered his eyes.

They teased and smiled. Sirius had been absolutely quiet. Remus wondered why.

"You two had been asking Mary out for days and now Remus shows you how it is done" Marlene proclaimed "You're too slow"

James began laughing loudly until Sirius said: "If we're talking about turtles, James Potter wins the prize. Am I right, Evans?"

"Oh!" Peter exclaimed hitting Sirius’s palm.

James rolled his eyes. Lily hid her smile.

"All I know is that if Remus asked me out I would say yes" Mary said as she winked.

As the teasing began again, Remus hid his face under his sweater.

The next day, Remus watched as Peter ran after Mary the minute she got out of the girls' dorm. James joined Lily's side as she took his arm. Sirius stayed behind.

"Not going after Mary, Pads?" Remus asked with a smile "Peter might get ahead of you, you know?"

Sirius shrugged uninterested.

"What about you? Are you asking Vance out?" Sirius asked giving Emmeline a nasty look. When Remus turned and she waved, he waved back.

"I don't know" Remus answered.

He had never been asked out on a date. His immediate response would be no. Because even if Remus found Emmeline hot and interesting, his heart always came back to Sirius.

But since Sirius clearly was too busy with the bet and interested in other girls in the meantime, Remus thought why not? He couldn't wait for Sirius forever. For something that might actually not happen at all.

"Moony, let's forget about birds" Sirius snapped, making Remus look away from Emmeline towards him "Potter can have Evans and Pettigrew can have Macdonald if he likes. You and me... We don't need girls. We are fine on our own. Yeah?"

Remus blinked in surprise.

"What... What about the bet?"

Sirius shrugged "I don't care about the bet"

When just yesterday Sirius was saying he would not let Peter win. What changed?

"Is this about Emmeline?" Remus asked.

"You don't fancy her" Sirius answered with pouty eyes "Right?"

"You don't fancy Mary however you were willing to be at her feet only to win Peter"

Remus's temper was rising. Sirius had the free will to go after girls even if it was a game but Remus had not? Was that how things worked?

"You were right. I don't fancy Mary" Sirius said "And you don't fancy Vance...." then he leaned in "We need to be single. We are young. Let's just have fun"

Remus wanted to punch him.

"What's wrong with you?" Remus snapped "So let me see. Prongs can go after Lily. Wormtail can go after Mary. And you, you can have anyone you want. Now that I get the attention of someone. Finally! What? I cannot do anything about it?"

Sirius was silent. He looked guilty and his eyes showed he was going through a million thoughts.

"It's not that, Remus" Sirius said softly, looking to the floor "I just... I don't want to lose you"

"What are you talking about?" Remus raised his voice "That I should never date anyone so you don't suffer?"

Sirius didn't answer.

"What if I actually want to date Emmeline? What if I do? Are you going to stop me?"

Sirius opened his mouth to say something but instantly regretted.

"I might ask her out!"

"Fine!" Sirius snapped back "Do whatever you want, Remus"

"Maybe I will!!" Remus yelled "You fucking wanker!"

"Don't be angry with me"

"I just..." Remus was so furious he couldn't speak "I just don't understand you! Going after girls is a fucking joke to you. You don't even fancy them you just want to prove you can have them. You do that even if it... Even if I..."

Sirius kept looking at him curiously.

Even if it hurt Remus. But Sirius couldn't know about Remus's feelings. It was fine. Maybe Remus had to accept the fact that Sirius would never feel the same. That he was too straight, too flirty and too popular for Remus. But what pissed Remus off was that Sirius didn't leave him be.

"Whatever, go and date Vance" Sirius shrugged "I don't care"

Maybe it would be good to date Emmeline. Finally focuse on someone who wasn't fucking Sirius Black. Even forget about him once and for all. But if Sirius acted like this, Remus got his hopes up, thinking perhaps Sirius was jealous.

But it wasn't true. Sirius just loved to be the center of attention. He couldn't let Peter have Mary. He couldn't let James be happy with Lily. He couldn't let Remus free. He was just selfish.

"Ok. I will"

Remus sometimes hated to love this stupid wanker. He knew Sirius was better than this. He knew a better version of him. Yet, Sirius kept showing the worst of him. He was hurting because of his bloody family. And instead of showing his pain he pretended to be a complete arsehole.

Remus walked away before those puppy eyes would make him feel guilty. This love was going to drive him insane. Even when Remus hated Sirius’s guts, even in his worse, Remus was absolutely in love with him. And he hated that.

"Oi, Emmeline!"

Remus deserved someone nice. Someone better. Someone who didn't make him feel this way. Maybe Emmeline could be the one.

"Reminald!" Emmeline smirked as Remus caught her up "Finally made your mind?"

Remus knew Sirius was watching. So that gave him the confidence to lean in and kiss Emmeline's mouth. He wanted to prove he could flirt and have girls as well.

"Wanna do something after school?" he asked trying to sound confident.

Emmeline's smile was gorgeous.

"Sure!" she exclaimed as she grabbed his arm and they started walking "What do you have in mind?"

[15hopes]

headcanon james potter has one sided and unspoken (except hissed in midnight conferences on either james or sirius’ bed under cover of muffliato) beef with remus after wolfstar gets together bc no one is good enough for his best friend… even his other best friend

“prongs he’s my boyfriend and frankly he is wonderful please respect our relationship”

“i JUST THINK that if he wants to date you he should be more aware of how incredibly lucky he is. you’re sirius bloody black does he KNOW that?? does he worship you enough?? never mind. i know the answer. he can’t worship you enough.”

“jamie, you were in full support of this union a week ago.”

“i just need him to be aware of how incredible you are. is he aware?”

because even though james loves remus- and he absolutely does! he would kill and die for him! -he did NOT anticipate how jealous he would be of anyone else taking sirius’ attention. or how much disdain he would inherently carry, try as he might, for anyone who didn’t understand sirius on that same molecular level. and remus doesn’t- sirius and remus love each other, are attracted to each other, match in a hundred ways. but they aren’t made from the same cloth the way james and sirius are. he’s protective of sirius- he’s been through a lot, and the mere prospect of someone being in a position where they could hurt him more is maddening. it feels like losing control- and james needs to keep his people safe. it was different with all the girls- sirius was playing them. he was never gone the way he’s gone with remus. he was still james’.

remus has no clue that any of this is happening until james asks sirius who he would save in a fire in a tone just too desperate to be joking.

peter, on the other hand, knows everything, as Lily’s been tutoring him in potions and hearing James’ jealous rants for weeks.

[daddiesdrarryy]

Sirius: What do you see on the map, Prongs?

James: Nothing, Pads. Moony is alone, like I told you

James: Wait! He just walked up to a woman!

Sirius: A female woman? PRONGS, IS IT A FEMALE WOMAN?

[of-yourblazingsun]

Part 1

James: What’s the punishment for the jelly-legs curse?

Sirius: Prongs.

Remus: A weekend detention, depending.

Peter: Are we talking just a wee bit of jellying?

James: Just a bit, yeah. While Benjy Fenwick is high up on his broom so he loses balance and plummets to the frozen ground.

Sirius: James.

Remus: Merlin’s beard, mate. What did he do?

James: He’s making an unreasonable amount of eye contact whilst waxing poetic about something or other to the Slytherin seeker.

Sirius: You mean he’s talking to your boyfriend about the practice game they’re about to have?

James: Why do they even need to practice? Regulus is the best there is. And why are they practicing with Ravenclaw? I could run through all the plays Reggie wants. Also, why does Fenwick need to look at him while speaking? Is that strictly necessary to communicate?

Sirius: You’re starting to sound like me when someone pretty talks to Moony. I’m not sure we should be watching this practice game.

James, appalled: You think Benjy’s pretty??

Remus, narrowing his eyes: Yeah, Sirius, do you think he’s pretty??

Peter: Someone needs to start paying me for putting up with you lot.

[gabriels-golden-kazoo]

There was no doubt about it that Evan Rosier was beautiful. Girls whispered as he passed in the halls, boys winked at him at parties, beckoning him to the dark corners of the common rooms where they could remain undiscovered.

Yes, there was no doubt that Evan was beautiful, but he didn’t feel pretty.

He wasn’t sure when the word had become significant, it was as if the word beautiful was superficial, as if he was superficial. He supposed the meaning had started to sound different when he listened to them come from Dorcas’ mouth. The way she described Marlene, as if words could only pale in comparison, Shakespeare himself would be threatened by the pure emotion that dripped from Dorcas’ words, so much so that the word pretty made Marlene sound like the greatest treasure ever to grace the earth.

Fucking lesbians.

Evan had never felt like a treasure, as an heir he was worth something, but that was a job, his birthright.

He had never once believed that there were soulmates, someone who could mirror even the darkest most broken parts of his soul, someone who would accept every flaw, every scar, every wall that his mind put up. But watching his friends with their partners?

Watching them made him believe that someone could truly love him unconditionally, like they needed him like air, as if the sun couldn’t rise without him. He believed there was a chance, but that didn’t mean he was deserving of it. He could hope, maybe even pray, but at the end of the day he couldn’t imagine even a soul as broken as his could have once come in a matching pair.

That was until, of course, he met Barty Crouch Jr.

And by Merlin and Morgana alike did that boy make his soul sing.

Prompt 10 - Cuddle

@wolfstarmicrofic December 10, word count 233

Sirius hated having to hide his feelings for Remus. He watched as all the other couples cuddled up together. Peter and Sammy were on the sofa reading that week's copy of Quidditch Weekly. Sammy was practically on Peters's lap. Lily was on James’s lap, chatting happily with Marlene, who had her girlfriend Dorcas sitting on her back, playing with her hair. It looked platonic, but everyone who needed to know knew it wasn’t. But he could never get away with that with Remus. The closest he could get to being able to cuddle with Remus in public was sitting on the arm of his armchair. So that’s what he did. 

He let his arm fall across the back of the chair, his hand sliding down, so his fingertips brushed against Remus’s shoulder, and Remus shuffled down until his head rested dangerously close to Sirius’s side. If Sirius breathed in too deeply, they’d be touching. He wanted more. He needed more, but for now, this would have to be enough. 

“Hey,” Remus said quietly, so only Sirius could hear. “Do you want to go upstairs?” Sirius didn’t even answer. He was up and racing up the stairs, being very obvious to his friends about what was about to happen. He could hear James’s loud laugh, but he didn’t care. In exactly thirty seconds, he’d be wrapped in Remus’s arms and heading towards his bed.

5th November - The Three Broomsticks - @wolfstarmicrofic - word count: 498

It had been Sirius that had pushed it but now as he, James and Peter sat unobserved at the back of The Three Broomsticks, watching as Remus, flushed from the cold outside and the heat of the fire, waited for his date to arrive, Sirius felt a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that he was having difficulty ignoring.

"Budge up, Padfoot," Peter complained, straining to see over the heads of their classmates crowded around other tables and obscuring his view. "I can't see!"

"There's nothing to see," Sirius snapped, surprised at his own surliness.

"I wouldn't be so sure," James said as he nodded discreetly in the direction of the door.

A petite, fourth-year Hufflepuff girl with her hair in a plait entered, looking around nervously before her eyes alighted on Remus sitting by the fire. She gave a shy smile.

It was the same smile Sirius had seen every time she had watched Remus enter the History of Magic classroom, unnoticed by Remus who had a habit of not quite meeting anyone's eye apart from the Marauders.

Remus had been very perplexed when Sirius, feeling devilish one afternoon, had pointed it out.

"She's looking over again," Sirius had whispered as Professor Binns had floated languidly past.

"Who?" Remus asked.

Sirius had nodded slightly in her direction, and Remus had looked over. The girl went pink and hurriedly turned away, asking a question of the girl beside her.

"I think you'll find she was looking at you," Remus replied.

Sirius sighed. Sometimes, Remus' modesty could be intensely irritating.

Sirius hadn't let it drop. All Remus needed was a little push. So Sirius had found invisible ways to throw them more together. He'd even roped James into his schemes. And it had worked. Finally, about two weeks ago, the girl had plucked up the courage to ask Remus if he'd like to meet her in the Three Broomsticks on their next visit to Hogsmeade.

To all of the Marauders' surprise, Remus had agreed.

Sirius was pleased for his friend, he told himself. He watched Remus stand on instinct as the girl approached, polite and a little old fashioned.

James gave a snort.

"Shut up," Sirius hushed, bad tempered, as he watched them both sit down. Remus must have said something that set her at ease because she gave a coy laugh and took off her scarf. Their heads were close together as they talked.

"I'm bored of this," Sirius suddenly announced, downing the remnants of his Butterbeer.

"This was your bright idea!" James retorted, but standing and pulling on his coat. "What if Moony needs our assistance? What if he needs to escape?"

Sirius stole a glance over to where the pair were talking. Remus was smiling a little, that smile that started in his eyes before it spread across his face. Sirius knew that smile.

"He seems fine," Sirius replied shortly, a pang of something he didn't really want to pay attention to increasing the more he looked. "Let's go."

[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

Jealous Remus is quiet. He stares. He swallows his tears. He doesn't say anything. He might clench his nails on his palm or destroy whatever he is holding. But he is sad. He knows Sirius deserves better so he doesn't say anything. He might cry when he is alone. But he never shows it.

Jealous Sirius is aggressive. He gets in between. He doesn't conceal. He is mean with whoever flirts with or dates Remus. He tries to show how better he knows Remus, how he is better for him. Then he feels awful because he has been acting like an idiot and thinks Remus doesn't deserve him. He is better off without him.

Hog's Head - Nov. 14 - word count: 324 - @wolfstarmicrofic

The party pulsed with energy, the common room glowing warmly from the fire and the twinkling fairy lights draped across the ceiling. 

The air was thick with the scent of firewhiskey sourced from the Hog’s Head, as well as Butterbeer and some food from the kitchens. 

Remus Lupin leaned against the wall, taking small sips from his cup to keep himself busy. 

Across the room, Sirius Black lounged on the couch, a familiar cocky grin on his face as he threw an arm around Oliver, his new boyfriend. 

The dirty-blonde boy felt a tightness in his chest at the sight. How did he move on so fast? It’s only been two weeks.

A second later, Emily, his new girlfriend, walked up and slipped her hand into Remus’s, fingers intertwining with his. 

She was vibrant and captivating, with a mischievous smile and hair as dark as the night. In the right light, she could have been Sirius’s twin, and Remus hated that he noticed. 

Emily leaned close to him. “You’re staring again,” she teased. 

“Just distracted,” the scarred boy muttered, tearing his gaze away from the couch. But it was too late; Sirius had caught him looking. 

Their eyes locked, and his ex-best-friend's grin faltered for a moment before he masked it again. He turned back to his new boyfriend, saying something that made him laugh. 

Remus swallowed hard. He felt Emily shift beside him, her fingers tightening around his. He looked at her, at her bright eyes and confident smile, and saw the shadow of who he wished she could be. 

It wasn’t fair to her. 

It wasn’t fair to any of them. 

“You don’t look very happy to be here, Lupin,” Sirius suddenly called out over the noise. 

The werewolf clenched his jaw. “Maybe I just don’t find you as entertaining as I used to, Black.”

Sirius just stared for a moment before finally turning away, leaving Remus alone with his many regrets.

pt 1, pt 2

[deswhomst]

potential wolfstar hot take (i’m not sure if it is but i’ve never seen anyone talk about it)?

i think remus would have been very jealous of james and sirius’ bond, especially pre-relationship and in the early stages. it’s impossible for him to not have felt insecure and in second place.

until one day, he breaks down and confesses this to sirius. and sirius (who had already dealt with something similar with regulus) tells him gently that he has a lot of love to give and his love for james and remus was different. it could not be compared because it meant everything to him but not in the same way. he does not love james more than remus or vice versa. it’s just love, and it’s more love than he was ever allowed, and it’s for them before it’s for anyone else.

[littleliterarylesbian]

It was a bad habit, watching them just to let the ugly, no good, disastrous, feeling bubble up. Remus was just torturing himself at this point.

Sirius and James had always been close, probably closer than a pair of people could ever be. It didn't bother him before, he would hear the whispers of 'you're my best friend' and other mindless reassurances when curfew hits every night, hidden behind red curtains. It's in a different light now.

Remus remembers when James ambushed him in the library, sweaty and nervous and jumpy and Remus could hardly even get a word in before words were spilled.

"I shouldn't, but I do. He's just- he's just so pretty Moons. Do you think his hair is as soft as it looks?" James had said, looking so and truly distraught, "You can't tell Pads. Please. I just needed to get this off my chest."

And James is touchy. He's always been a bit sticky, needing an arm around someone's shoulders or a hand in his. It didn't used to be a bother, how close the two always were, side by side and hip attached to hip. But now it gnaws at him. Something sickly and dark wanting to climb up his throat and reach and take until what he wants is his. All his. hishishis.

He thinks Moony is acting differently too. James ended up in the infirmity when the sun rose. But some part of him, a part that just wants to claim and yank and devour, revels at how Sirius stays by his side. Worrying and biting down on his bottom lip and Remus has to fist the sheets to not do something he would regret.

He wants though, he wants so much.

It infects him, poisoning his thoughts and bleeding into his dreams. One's where Sirius' mouth is hot and tastes like cigarette smoke. Addictive enough that Remus would never need another hit. He catches himself wishing James could just... disappear. Thinking about what would happen if James were to walk into the forest, getting lost until the next full moon where it would be too late to run from him. James has noticed the hostility. Remus is surprised that not everyone has noticed it yet. But Sirius has always been a bit oblivious.

It makes him feel sick. But he doesn't want that smile pointed towards anyone but himself. White teeth and pale skin and black hair and blue eyes. It tears him up inside whenever Sirius looks for a few seconds too long. When he sits a bit too close and their thighs are touching or when he leans in and Remus can't help but to think about how easy, so incredibly easy, it would be to grab and pull until he had a lap full.

But he can't. So instead he watches as James looks dreamily at Sirius as they sit across the table from one another. Oblivious little lamb. If only he knew that the wolf wanted to shred him to pieces.
