#not sure if it's ready or not

[marauderstan014]

I have a nothing here, I promise it's fluff, kind of soft wolfstar, I didn't re-read it after writing because it's late, I'll fix it and post it on ao3 probably tomorrow but well

625 words of soft wolfstar and no title because I have one brain cell and it's not working

"Sirius?" Remus kneels down next to them with a soft smile on his face. "Sirius, what's up?"

They had run away from the dinner table and Remus decided to look for them after waiting for about an hour. He already knew where they'd be, they always go to the river next to their cottage when they're feeling upset, they say that the sound of the water and the smell of the trees help ground them.

They have some tells from when they're upset. That's the first one: running away to be alone in the forest, as if they're trying to become one with the Earth. He looks to their feet just to be sure. Barefoot. As always. Remus speaks softly. "Sirius, it's cold."

"I know," they answer equally softly, pointing at the fallen leaves from late autumn and early winter. The whole place is a mix of colours. Brown, yellow, orange… It's a beautiful time of the year, when all the leaves have fallen and created an auburn blanket over the ground. "Feels good, though."

"You're going to get sick."

Sirius huffs a small laugh, a lovely sound, really. Sirius' laugh is as smooth as they are, their voice feels like velvet in Remus' ears. "We don't get sick from feeling cold."

"Right, but you still might hurt your feet, the cold can burn you."

They roll their eyes and don't move, making Remus sigh and sit down next to them on the fallen tree trunk. They feel cold to the touch, but he decides against mentioning it, he knows they know they're feeling cold, but they probably need it.

They fall quiet, listening to the running of the water and the wind howling through the trees.

"Sirius, what happened?"

"The forest looks nice this time of the year, doesn't it? It's calming."

"It is…" He smiles, remembering all the good times he and his friends lived in that forest. It's been a while since they were all together. Too long for his liking. He sighs and speaks with a strained voice. "You miss them, don't you?"

Sirius lets out a pitiful noise that makes Remus' heart clench, it's almost like a whimper and he just knows they'll cry soon. "Every day."

"I do too."

"You do?"

"Yeah, nothing's the same without them, is it?"

They shake their head, resting their head on Remus' shoulders and releasing a shaky breath. "Will it get better? Can we just go on without them here?"

Remus smiles sadly and shakes his head, kissing Sirius' forehead. "It'll be fine. We'll be fine."

"I miss them, Moony."

"Pete's visiting us in a couple of days, focus on that, yeah?"

"I love him, Remus, you know I do…" They don't have to finish their sentence, he knows what they mean. Peter is a marauder and a best friend, but Peter's not James or Regulus. Peter's a best friend, James and Regulus are family. Blood or not, they're the only family that never betrayed them.

"It'll be fine, Sirius, I promise it'll be fine." He sighs. "You get used to missing the ones you love. When all that's left is the memories you have, you need to stick with that. If that's all you've got, then you need to focus on that."

"But Moony, it's… I can't. I can't."

"Sirius, love, you have to, that's all you can do," he kisses them tenderly, a small kiss just to show them he's there. "Besides, they'll be back soon."

"It's a month. A month, Remus."

Remus laughs softly. "James said he'll be here before the full moon, it's only two more weeks."

"But, Moony–"

"It's their honeymoon, Padfoot. Let them enjoy it, I'm sure they miss you too, but let them enjoy each other for a while."

I just realized it'll take the eng server almost a year to reach the 3D Cheka T pose model :' ) we're at book 7 part 6, and we get a new main story update every 2 to 3 months..

Anyway, do you wanna share some fun, spoiler-free shenanigans that happened in jp's server.? Just to have some crumbs to lick off the table until we get our own sandwich (my heart is empty and my soul is crying)

spoiler-free is pretty hard, especially considering. the, uhhh, particular turn that things take directly after 6. (like, the fact that the other characters are showing up probably counts on its own?) and I do think that if you can avoid getting spoiled, most of it is definitely better as a surprise! some of the genuinely best Twst moments are waiting for you. :D

if I may, however, present one of my favorite little throwaway bits with absolutely no context:

i just feel like someone should take one for the team and write the fanfic where miss homotron goes to dragonstone on foot, meets her situationship’s new lover, and immediately goes like blind with jealousy and fury (rhaenyra, as always when alicent’s near, looks and behaves like a very confused kicked puppy)

i just need homotron and saphotron to meet, so the real war can begin

Daniel Wayne, the younger toddler brother of Bruce Wayne and the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne had been kidnapped the night their parents were murdered.

Daniel had been snagged the moment their killer heard people headed to the alley and Bruce in his state of shock didn't realize it until it was far to late and could only scream in horror (from everything) as his baby brother is crying his name. (If you wanna make it even more heart wrenching, make it Danny's first time being able to say Bruce's name right and/or Bruce had said some mean things to Danny earlier after he accidentally broke something of Bruce's, something like 'I wish youd go away' or 'I never wanted a brother, you're such a bother!')

Bruce is being held by Alfred as some police officers are chasing down the Wayne's parents killer while some stay behind to see if they could do something.

Minutes turn to hours and as they wait, praying the police at least found Danny, Bruce is ridden with guilt. From his parents death to allowing his brother to be kidnapped.

Eventually the police return to give Alfred and Bruce the news. And it's not good.

The killer escaped and Danny was nowhere to be found.

And it would take many years before he would be found.

Bruce gets a call from Damian during school hours one day. When he answers he is greeted with Damian demanding him to get to the school and explain himself.

Confused Bruce asks what does he mean and Damian responds with

"The two new students in class today are the spitting images of you and I father! Either they are poorly created clones or you have more hidden blood children!"

-x-x-

Meanwhile the very students being discussed are calling up someone too

"Ellie? Dan? What's wrong? You better not have made too much chaos already, I just paid for the uniforms for that place."

"DAD! I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRUITLOOPS FAILED CLONES SOMEHOW SURVIVED!"

"What?"

ok. years have passed and we've had some distance, so i'm finally gonna take the leap of faith that tma fandom is finally ready to hear me on this. let's talk about tannins.

161 was the first tma episode i heard on early release, and i felt the bit where martin declines wine and cites tannins was pretty obvious in its implications. cool, got it, say no more.

imagine my surprise when i was one of maybe three people i saw read between the lines there, in a fandom famous for red stringing--a fandom that immediately caught the much less obvious thread of ignition sources in the same episode. i'll spell it out: alcohol is an issue for martin.

maybe it just felt obvious because addiction is a pet issue for me--as it is for jonny, who has said everything he writes is filtered through a lens of addiction. i don't know if that's due to his own experience or a loved one's, and i won't speculate; i also don't know if martin personally struggled with drinking or just avoids it for fear he would, but alcohol would fit what we know of his family. his dad walking out and his mum spiralling into bitter wallowing and verbal abuse? i'd bet one or both of them drank, yeah.

on a basic level martin tries to decline alcohol, and that alone should have raised eyebrows given what we know of martin and, again, a fandom that dissects everything. we already knew martin "K" blackwood lied about his personal life and his family in particular, especially pre-canon, which is when this flashback took place. i was shocked that everyone took his flimsy excuse at face value with no further questions.

and the excuse is flimsy. martin turns down wine by--nervously--exclaiming tannins are "a proven headache trigger!" which sounds like trivia from a magazine cover and not the words of someone who actually has headaches--and it hasn't come up before or since. jon, confused, points out that tea, a drink martin consumes to a degree that is memetic both in- and out-of-universe, also contains tannins, and martin squawks a panicked, "what?!"

if tannins are enough of a concern for martin that he knew they're in wine and so avoids it, why didn't he know they're in his drink of choice? why does he still drink tea at the time of canon, and why doesn't he struggle with constant headaches from consuming 'a proven headache trigger' day in and day out? why, indeed, would someone avoid wine and not tea?

when sasha insists martin drink he caves and agrees to 'just a drop'. i imagine him pouring it in a plant, which admittedly he could have done if tannins really were the issue. i will say that i, for one, would be less likely to falsely agree to something that makes me physically ill than to a private issue that i'd rather not be pressed on any further. this scene also establishes martin's birthday was an ice cream party instead of the more traditional visit to a pub.

also, this scene was in the first episode of the final season, as one of three flashbacks that could have been to any pre-canon event in the archives. prime narrative real estate. not really time one would waste on establishing the important character context that martin has... headaches. which never comes up before or after, even regarding the week he spent in spiral town. but you know what is pretty crucial character background...?

it felt like a no-brainer, and yet all i saw was h/c fluff about jon attending to martin's headaches. and i hate feeling bitter about disability representation. i want folks with chronic headaches to feel seen and have fluffy escapist fantasies. i don't want to be mad about people portraying a character with a disability. but, guys? you got the wrong disability. jonny sent a clear message, and it went over fandom's head.

one of the funniest gigs in pre-timeskip was that whenever Zoro tried to be considerate with the coward trio while handling their eager stupid captain is that this thing would bound to happen regardless of anything at all....

and then the aftermath would be like:
