Photo Booth | Albus Potter x Scorpius Malfoy Oneshot
Prompt idea from @blue--ingenue
Scorpius is practically pressed against a shop window, peering at the different types of cameras on display. Albus has noticed how fascinated Scorpius got whenever they passed by a technology shop.
“This is… incredible.” Scorpius begins, eyes wide. “These things are all so cool. Cameras, phones, computers… these muggle inventions are incredible”
Albus just chuckles at his reaction. “I’m surprised you're so into these cameras considering ours are magical.”
“Precisely - I’ve been using magical cameras ever since I was little. I have no idea how these could possibly work.” He pointed at the display of photos near the window. “I’m dying to know how they produce pictures without magic! I feel like we should go inside!”
Albus laughs and nods, letting Scorpius pull him into the shop. It’s small and a bit cramped, but packed with electronics and little gadgets. Scorpius looks around like a kid in a candy shop, immediately heading to the section with cameras.
Albus follows him to the camera section and begins inspecting a few of the cameras on display, fascinated by the technology. “This is insane.” He mutters, adjusting a few of the settings to see how they work.
“I know.” Albus says, smiling. He looks over at Scorpius who’s fiddling with the settings, looking concentrated. He’d be lying to himself if he said he didn’t find his boyfriend's fascination with cameras adorable.
Albus watches as Scorpius continues to examine the cameras, feeling a fondness in his chest. He could happily stand here and watch him play with the cameras for hours.
Scorpius picked up another one of the cameras, messing with its settings as well. He suddenly turned it and pointed it at Albus. “Smile!”
Albus blinks for a moment as he processes Scorpius’s words before giving him a small smile. As soon as he smiles, Scorpius takes a picture of him. He grins triumphantly as he looks at the photo that he had just taken.
Albus leans in closer to look at the photo as well. The photo shows Albus smiling directly at the camera, looking a little caught off guard by the sudden picture. “See? You look handsome even when not prepared for a picture.” Scorpius teased.
Albus rolled his eyes, his cheeks turning pink from the compliment. “You just took a picture of me without warning, of course I didn’t look prepared.” He smirked.
“I gave you a warning by saying the word smile.” Scorpius continues to tease with that contagious grin of his. Albus rolled his eyes again, still blushing a little. “That hardly counts as a warning in advance, you git.” He nudged Scorpius playfully.
As they continue with their bantering back and forth one of the employees makes their way over to the two. “Do you need help with anything?”
Albus and Scorpius both turn to face the employee, caught off guard by the sudden interruption. They look at each other, a little stunned, before Albus gathers himself enough to speak. “No, we’re just browsing,” he says with a polite smile.
“Actually,” Albus says before the employee walks off. “We’ll take this camera.” He points to the camera in Scorpius’s hands.
Scorpius looked down at the camera in his hands, surprised by Albus’s sudden decision to buy it. “Really?” he asked, a grin slowly spreading across his face.
Albus nods. “You like that one right? If you want a different one that’s fine too.” He begins to ramble making sure Scorpius didn’t want a different camera.
Scorpius shakes his head, stopping Albus’s rambling. “No, no. I do really like this one. “A small smirk tugs at the corners of his mouth. “You just surprised me, that’s all.”
A smile returns on Albus’s face as he takes the camera from Scorpius’s hands to give it to the employee.
“Let me get the box for this and I’ll meet you back at the register.” the employee says kindly as they begin to walk off.
Albus and Scorpius nod and begin walking towards the register to wait. As they’re waiting, Scorpius nudges Albus with his elbow. “You didn’t have to buy this, y’know. You didn’t have to buy anything.”
“I know but I wanted to.” Albus shrugged. Scorpius smiles at that and reaches out to link his hand with Albus’s.
While waiting Albus notices something out of the corner of his eye taking a mental note of it as the employee returns with the camera just then and starts ringing up their purchase.
Scorpius watches as the employee rings up the purchase, barely able to conceal the excitement on his face as he thought about the camera that Albus had bought for him.
A smile forms on Albus’s face at Scorpius’s excitement. He’s always so much more smiley whenever Scorpius is around.
The employee finishes ringing up the purchase and tells them their total. Albus quickly pulls out his wallet to pay them. He can feel Scorpius practically shaking with excitement next to him, making his own smile grow.
Once the transaction is complete, Albus turns to Scorpius and holds out the bag to him. “Here you go. It’s all yours now.”
Scorpius takes the bag carefully, almost as if he feared that the camera inside was going to explode, and pulls it close to his body, grinning from ear to ear.
“Thank you,” he says, his gratitude evident in his voice. “Now come on I saw something I think will really get those wheels in your mind turning.” Albus says pulling him deeper into the store.
Albus’s vague statement piques Scorpius’s curiosity, and he lets himself be pulled deeper into the store. They quickly find themselves in front of a photo booth and Albus smiles excitedly at him.
Scorpius looks at the photo booth and then turns his gaze to Albus, a mixture of curiosity and excitement on his face.
“A photo booth?” He raised an eyebrow at Albus, a small smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “If you think cameras are interesting just wait and see how this works.” Albus grins.
Scorpius’s curiosity was now fully piqued. “How does it work?” he asks, walking closer to the photo booth and examining it.
Albus lightly pushes him into the booth before following right behind. “Best way to learn is to watch.”
Scorpius stumbles into the booth, surprised by the sudden push, and then turns to watch as Albus closes the curtain behind them and joins him inside the cramped space.
Albus fishes out some spare coins from his pocket and inserts them into the machine. “Okay so there will be a countdown on this screen so make sure you pose before the countdown ends.”
As he inserts the last coin he says one last thing. “I think this machine takes four photos.” Scorpius listened intently as Albus explained to him how the photo booth works. His face lit up at the information, eager to try it out.
“Four photos, got it,” he repeated, nodding his head in understanding. The machine lights up and the boys blink from the extra sudden lights before the countdown appears.
As the countdown appeared on screen, Scorpius felt a sudden sense of urgency. “Albus! We have to make four different poses!” he whispers urgently, slightly panicked by the time limit.
Albus chuckled as he saw Scorpius’s panicked expression. “Relax, Scorp. We have enough time to make four different poses.”
3…
Scorpius places his bag in front of their feet before standing back up.
2…
He glances at Albus as they still aren’t in a pose. His eyes dart around as he tries to think of a pose for them to do.
1…
Scorpius throws himself into Albus as he tightly hugs him. That’s the only thing Scorpius could think of as the countdown was stressing him out.
Albus almost stumbles backwards from the force of Scorpius’s unexpected hug, but he quickly steadies himself and hugs Scorpius back. He grins as he looks down at his boyfriend, thinking that the panicked hug was adorable.
As they sway in the hug and finally get their balance back they turn to face the camera and see in bold letters ‘Thank You! Please collect your photos down below.’
“We’re done already?” Albus asks, surprise evident in his voice. Scorpius grabs the photo card that the machine printed and can’t help but laugh.
As they both look at the photos Albus joins in on the laughing. All four photos were of their singular hug. Each photo was slightly different due to the force Scorpius put behind the hug.
The pictures were all slightly blurry, but captured their hug in various stages. In the first photo, they were both off-balance and stumbling backwards.
In the second, they were just managing to regain their balance. The third picture showed them standing still in a hug, and the final photo captured them looking at each other with such adoration in their eyes.
The pictures were all so candid, so real, and Albus couldn’t help but think that they were perfect. He looked over at Scorpius with a smile, seeing the same adoration in his eyes as in the final photo.

Lily and James were pregnant with Harry when they were 19/20 so if your muggle/college AU doesn't have Lily freaking the fuck out between lectures, James asking his dad for a bigger allowance because now he has to buy more than redbulls, microwavable meals and alcohol, OR Sirius and Remus watching harry run around the quad while Lily takes a final and James is at wrestling/rugby/any sport practice, I don't want it. Bonus points if Alice "out of college and married, thus making her a 'responsible adult' in Lily's eyes despite being 23 and tired" Longbottom babysits Harry and forces him and Neville to be friends. Bonus Bonus points if Harry is born during Marlene and Dorcas's semester abroad, and when they come back and watch harry, everyone thinks they had a baby.

Barty is the type of person to give you his brutality honest opinions on you, but only the mean ones.
Evan the type of person to never give you his honest opinion.
Regulus the type of person to never have a specific opinion on you, he hates everyone equally.
Dorcas the type of person to be brutally honest but in a way that shapes your character for the better.

Supernova ✨
Based off the fic Red Wine Supernova by @mono-chromia which in turn is inspired by the song (same title) “Red Wine Supernova” by Chappel Roan - a banger you need to listen to at least once.

they've had such a long tiring day and they miss you terribly. all they want to do is lay on your lap while you play with his hair. his day perks up when he sees you though.
he sneaks up behind you and you're unaware he's there, that is, until he grabs a hold on your plush tummy and squeezes you, causing you to squeal. you've never really liked having someone pinch or grab your stomach, most people wouldn't and you always slap people's hands away, these people meaning your boyfriend. who takes immense pleasure out of the situation feeling your soft round body spill between his fingers, heavenly.
he could listen to the noises you make out of surprise when it happens all of the time. when you grumble afterwards about how he's such a meanie. you'll grumble and complain about it halfheartedly but never straight up tell him to stop, if you did he would. he just grins every time. a laugh escapes their mouth every single time, you yelp and jump away from him. every time he greets you the same way. he always making up any excuse he can to be able to get his hands on you. grab, pull, pinch, squeeze, squish they're doing it, they can't get enough of you and your soft body, they love you so much.
GEORGE, dean, sirius, lee, JAMES, ron, barty, seamus, blaise, evan.

Was thinking about eleven year old Fawn Spots Harry and made myself laugh because he would be so angry that technology doesn’t work at Hogwarts.
Full on “What do you mean Olympus has cell service and the middle of Scotland doesn’t?! It’s not even the same plane of fucking existence and calls aren’t even long distance!” Little man has not been more than a phone call away from his family since he was adopted and he is not coping well, but beyond that the lack of online databases, easy way to compile notes and write the eight million essays they’re assigned, and actual entertainment that isn’t ’dangerous flying dodgeball’ (which he does love tbh but still not everyone does) would drive him up the wall. Fuck the lack of things like highlighters and binders would piss him off. 
He would show up with a spiral notebook and a mechanical pencil and a pureblood child would pass out from shock. He writes his family constantly begging for any and all stationary they can send. He uses breaks to type up last term’s notes and introduces the first final study guide in Times New Roman into Hogwarts and makes a killing off of selling them. The older pureblood students beg on bended knee for help making their own and the muggleborns realize oh shit they can corner the market per year and subject. Harry will drag Hogwarts into the modern age if he has to do so kicking and screaming.
#the elf talks#harry potter#fawn spots au#Hermione sees him pull out a folder and immediately writes home because god dammit she misses her trapper keeper#the muggleborns all have an underground meme market and everyone else is so confuse#Dean sending those flying notes to Rick Roll other muggle raised students and being so damn smug about it#he took a whole summer to learn how to draw Rick astley from memory just for this#the twins see the psychic damage this does and help him charm it to play the song too#Hogwarts becomes a lot more chaotic in the 2000’s#Percy is the one to figure out how to get tech to work around magic#purebloods are sheltered Victorian children and Harry will find a way to put one in a coma by playing WAP

Prompt 11 - Apparition
@wolfstarmicrofic September 11, word count 362
Previous part First Wolfstar part
“Is it just me or is this far too easy? Like should there not be more obstacles in the way of the Horcruxes themselves? I still can't believe I had to stay here,” Marcus grumbled. He was still a bit sore that he hadn’t been allowed to go to Hogwarts with them.
“Maybe he thinks no one will ever figure it out, and they are pretty hard to find unless you know where to look. I mean, if we hadn’t figured out his lineage we would never have found the ring,” Remus said, placating the ruffled wolf.
“Don’t worry you can come with us to Crouch’s,” Sirius patted him on the back, slightly harder than he probably needed to. “Speaking of Crouch, how do you want to do it, Reggie?” Sirius turned his attention to his brother, who now that the diadem was destroyed appeared to be trying to convince James to follow him deeper into the forest. “Ahem, Regulus Arcturus Black, your input is required, you can input Prongs later.” Sirius snickered.
“What?!” Regulus spun around red-faced.
“Crouch? I’m thinking you go in under the cloak and act all Jacob Marley and scare the shit out of him.”
“Who?” Regulus asked, his brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of Sirius’s words.
“You know the apparition that visited Scrooge telling him he needed to mend his ways, or he’d be doomed to an eternity of restless walking, never finding peace! You know A Christmas Carol!” Regulus just shook his head.
“Merlin, educate your boyfriend Prongs, I can’t believe you never read Dickens,” Sirius groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. He’d read the entire collection after Remus had introduced him to them, but then again, all Regulus’s friends were purebloods. What a sad little life they lived. “Alright basically you go and scare the shit out of Crouch, and we hunt for the Horcrux,” Sirius decided to get to the point. “And then you are going to go to Potter Manor and read all the Dickens books and educate yourself on muggle classic literature,” He shook his head again and stormed off towards the camp, Remus hot on his heels.

Sirius found himself waiting impatiently for James to return. Bloody hell. He only went to the bathroom, why was Sirius so clingy lately? It was maybe that the idea of being alone and starting to think about all the negative thoughts inside his mind, made Sirius really scared. He needed the distraction.
Luckily, since Sirius arrived at the Potters', James had been the ideal distraction. The boy was full of life, with good and new ideas for something to do. Constantly talking about whatever it occurred to him.
Sirius had been following James around the house like a lost puppy, doing whatever he was doing just not to be left alone. Sirius also had been sleeping with him, because he couldn't bare to be alone at night.
And it felt fine to be with James. He was the type of person that could make anyone feel better in a second. Such a positive bloke with warmth, kindness, hope and love to give. Maybe James was like sunshine. And Sirius was extremely cold.
"You took too long" Sirius found himself saying as James came out of the house with a big smile on his face "Did you take the opportunity to have a wank or what?"
James hit his head playfully as he took a seat next to him. The sun was burning his chocolate skin. Meanwhile Sirius had to cover his pale face with large sunglasses.
"Sorry, handsome" James said "Evans called me" he winked.
Sirius immediately felt a knot on his throat. That girl provoked negative things inside of him. Now she was after James? Now she cared about him? When before all she did was reject him and treat him awfully.
"So better reason to wank" he said trying to tease but he sounded very angry.
James simply laughed.
"I don't know, Padsie. We are getting closer and closer with time. I'm getting to her, I can tell"
Sirius didn't mean to be rude, but he preferred when Evans made James sulk. Not make him smile like an idiot.
"I wouldn't be so quick to get my hopes up" he whispered under his breath.
The idea of Evans having James, his James, was revolting.
"Why are you so grumpy about?" James asked teasingly. "Why is my little Padfoot boy so sad?"
The thing was that Sirius had been grumpy, sulking, moaning and feeling miserable lately.
"I am not grumpy" he lied.
James leaned closer, examinating him.
"Your face gets ugly when you frown like that" James continued "Where's my handsome best friend? Ha ha?"
James was even more close and for some reason, Sirius’s heart started beating fast. He smelled like that coconut sunblock Effie had borrowed them.
"You even have a wrinkle over here" As James touched his temple with his finger, Sirius immediately blushed.
"Oh fuck off!" Sirius pushed James's hand away.
He was blushing. It was so embarrassing.
It had always been comfortable around James. They told each other everything. They teased each other. They joked about being each other's loves. After they both broke up with their first girlfriends and sulked about them together, they swore that they didn't need anyone else more than each other.
Although this summer, things were different. Maybe it was the embarrassment of what happened between Sirius and his family. Maybe it was that they've been spending too much time alone as Effie and Monty went out of the house to do their things. Or maybe the stupid kiss they had shared the night James and Monty found Sirius on the street. He had been so scared, so cold, so hopeless that when he saw James his instinct was to kiss him as a grateful act. He regretted it immediately. Friends didn't do that, specially between boys. Luckily James hadn't mentioned it and Sirius was too ashamed to talk about it. They pretended it just didn't happen.
Now, Sirius was nervous around James. He blushed, his heart raced, he sweated.
But Sirius didn't want to push James away either. He needed him like breathing.
James was laughing.
"Okay grumpy boy, I am free for you now..." James said with a smirk "What do you want to do? Have a swim?"
The thought of both of them being half naked in the pool, made Sirius uneasy. He shook his head.
"Go inside and play video games?"
Having James's knee close to his on the couch, made Sirius freeze and be awkward. He shook his head.
"Boring... Do you want to listen to some music?"
That sounded like the best idea. Maybe Sirius could close his eyes, concentrate on the lyrics and distract himself. He shrugged.
James grabbed his phone and connected it to the speaker, and scrolled through it.
"What should we play, maybe something to improve your mood" James tusked to himself.
Sirius laid back on his chair.
"Just bloody play something"
James grinned.
"Lily told me she likes this song"
Sirius rolled his eyes. Could he stop talking about that stupid girl?
James played it anyway and a soft melody began sounding through the speaker. James was immediately moving his head accordingly.
It was rather an upbeat tune. Very contagious, something pop. When the lady started singing about fucking sunshine or whatever, Sirius hated it.
"It's horrid"
James raised an eyebrow.
"Tosser" he replied "In the mood of something else, I see?" then he gasped, making Sirius jump. "Nobody improves my mood better than Selena"
"Who?" Sirius asked amused.
"Selena Quintanilla?" James exclaimed "One of the reasons why latino music is better, specially Cumbia"
Sirius smiled only because James sounded so excited about this woman's music that it was contagious. And when James played the song, Sirius realized what he meant.
It wasn't precisely Regueton, the kind of hyspanic music Sirius was used to. It was an strange rhythm. So upbeat and delicious that gave you the thrill of immediately moving your body to the rhythm. It was for dancing.
James was definitely enjoying it, moving his body and trying to sing the Spanish lyrics. Sirius knew he understood the language well, when Effie talked to him but he sucked at speaking it. And it was funny because he was trying not to fail but somehow couldn't pronounce them.
Sirius laughed as James tried to sing to him the lyrics. And even if he didn't understand Spanish that well, he knew it was a love song. He recognized the word "amor" or "corazón".
"This song is about a Forbidden Love" James explained beaming at the lyrics. James gave him side glance and smiled to himself.
Something about that revelation made Sirius swallow. Forbidden Love.
Sirius was caught of guard when James stood up to dance. He did it in a funny way even, moving his but from side to side or making silly dance moves. All, to make Sirius laugh, which he did.
"You are ridiculous, Potter"
"See? You look much prettier when you are happy"
There it was again. The flustered cheeks and the warm sensation in his chest. All of this was weird.
"Come and dance with me, Pads" James screamed over the music, extending his hands for him.
Sirius shook his head "No. No way"
James insisted "Come on, you coward. You are scared because you don't think you can do better than me" and as he said this, he did some twerking.
Sirius let out a giggle and then bit his lip.
"Oh I bet I can dance better than whatever that is"
"Prove it then" James said defiantly.
Sirius stood up, only with the desire to impress James. He danced the way he did on parties at Hogwarts. Maybe not how this music was supposed to be danced at all.
"Yeaah Padfoot!" James encouraged, which made Sirius blush. James kept looking at him move. Sirius enjoyed the attention.
James took his hands without warning, teaching him how to move his feet faster, from side to side.
Although while James was concentrated with the dance moves, Sirius was very aware of the way their hands were holding each other. How close they were. They were dancing like a couple would. Boy and Girl.
James even pulled him closer by his hip and Sirius was forced to put his chin on James's warm shoulder. Sirius was a bit shorter than James. Only a few inches. Their chests pressed against one and other. Sirius could feel James's heart beating against his own.
Adrenaline and electricity filled Sirius’s body. His chest was burning and he felt perfectly fine between James's arms. Butterflies and birds inside his belly.
Sirius hadn't felt this way about anyone. So close. So fine. Like meant to be together. No one like his best friend.
He thought: How could Evans reject someone so perfect? Someone so good. Someone so nice. And handsome even. The perfect boy.
They swayed for a while and Sirius wished they could've stayed there all day, all summer, all their lives. He liked the idea of being held by these arms. Forvever.
Then slowly, James faced him. Sirius realized he had big eyelashes behind those glasses. Dark brown eyes. And that untidy hair... Sirius wanted to grab it and pull it.
"Feel better my handsome boy?" James asked, quietly with a low voice.
Sirius’s heart jumped on his chest. He liked the idea of being his. His best friend. His boy.
Sirius nodded. He smiled to show it.
"I always feel better with you around, Prongsie"
James caressed his chin.
"That's how I like it" James said.
They were leaning closer so slowly that they didn't notice. This was new. And thrilling.
Sirius wasn't gay. And for what he knew James either. He had been into Evans since forever.
Then what was going on? Why was James still cupping his face?
Where they going to kiss? Did Sirius actually want it?
"Hello, my dears! We're home!!"
The voice of Effie from inside the house, broke the spell. Both boys were blushing profoundly as they pulled apart. James rubbed his hair with embarrassment. Just like he did around Evans.
Sirius thought it was a hot feature.
"Coming mum!" James yelled.
He didn't look at Sirius as he walked inside. Sirius was left shivering with the sudden desire to kiss his best friend.
Bloody hell! He had a crush on James Potter. He fancied him. He fancied him a lot.
Sirius didn't know what this meant or how this would change their friendship. But he was willing to try.
With that sudden realization, he walked inside as well.

Just popping in to say thank you for recommending The Lights That Burn! I binged it today and the world building is already so RICH. Roman Empire-inspired fics are always so fascinating, and I think it works really well in this context. I can’t wait to see where she takes the characters. It’s so interesting to get some glimpses of a Draco more heavily influenced by Regulus as opposed to Snape. Really interested to find out what other canon characters from past or present make an appearance. Mary and Reg were a fun Easter egg and I’m wondering about Dietrich/ “Dirk” too 👀
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR TLTB GO READ THE FIC IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY
It's sooooooo good. The author has done so much thinking about how magic operates at each level of the imperial system. The absence of Snape is really interesting to me, though; we also don't know what happened to James or Lily (or Harry), which makes me excited for whenever we learn more about those "resistance forces."
This raises more questions about the AU that will probably be answered in due course, but like: if Voldemort rises to power as a government dictator instead of a religious figurehead, does he still have horcruxes? Since the fic's set in 1998, he's still only 72, which is easily a natural lifespan for a wizard without any magical enhancements. Seems like there wasn't a prophecy, which tells me no Trelawney, but also no death-by-toddler and lightning-scar; but then again, if the Statute of Secrecy is repealed in 1945, Tom Riddle would have already killed Myrtle and his father, and potentially used one of them to make his first horcrux, the diary. Who knows!
#dietrich is a fun one etymologically#it derives from the germanic 'theodorich'#meaning 'ruler of the people'#but also 'keeper of the keys'#or 'lockpick'#then again it could be dirk cresswell#who was at hogwarts in the 70s and by all accounts a talented muggle-born wizard#maybe we'll find out! :)

truly one of the worst ways james and sirius’ characters were butchered (both by canon and fanon) is the implication that they thought remus was the traitor or spy because he’s a werewolf.
those boys did not spend 3 YEARS becoming ANIMAGI and risking their body, mind, and soul, as well as courting azkaban just to turn around and give in to prejudice against creatures???? like yes, i realise war makes enemies of everyone and it heightens paranoia, suspicion etc etc but this is just the laziest of all reasons??? if they weren’t scared of remus in school, after watching him transform, and they still used the damn nicknames, then why would they suddenly think his furry little problem made him unreliable??
and at that!!!! what tf kind of sense does it make for them to believe that remus was the traitor and then…do absolutely nothing about it???? the whole bullshit only checks out if they all firmly believed each other. if they thought one of them was a spy for the DARK LORD, then why would they shut up about it??? both james and sirius clearly realised the war was about more than just them; they would not be hiding a potential spy if they knew about it.
this is honestly why the whole thing, and r/s reconciliation rubs me the wrong way. if they thought remus was untrustworthy, then give me a reliable reason other than him being a were. (i’ve got a few but none of them are ever used in fics). and even if they had some doubts about remus, it would still never make up for his belief that sirius betrayed the potters and joined the DEs. ever. that’s entirely a false equivalence.
#sirius black#james potter#i’ve been thinking ab this a lot lately#for FoD primarily#bc i’m trying to figure out where i wanna place remus#and this part just. doesn’t make sense to me?#like much as i hate it. u can make an argument for remus thinking sirius could’ve killed muggles bc of the whole pRaNk bullshit.#joining the dark is still too far fetched but okay. i’ll take it.#betraying the potters? never. but the prev two are still enough to cast doubts#what possible reason could j & s have to doubt remus tho??? we’ve never gotten anything#which honestly makes me think it’s another way to 1. butcher their characters and 2. equate sirius to remus#bc if sirius also thought r was a spy then it automatically makes it okay for the other way around also no?#ofc if anyone else has alternative theories i’d love to hear#im also sceptical how much of the werewolf packs come in here#bc it doesn’t do what many people think it does#bc if that’s what made j&s wary…then how is it different from werewolf prejudice??#pen’s yapping
