HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. BOWIE 💌

Here is some fun headcanon for older wolfstar 🥹

They always celebrate David Bowies birthday. Every year. They smoke some w33d and listen to every album Bowie has ever published. After that they always go out dancing until 6am. EXCEPT when you're suddenly old, and too stoned to even leave the house. 😂 Teddy will totally give them shit for it.

AND I wanted to make their stupid little dream reality, too. MEETING BOWIE. Well...they met....somehow....

Let me know what you think of it ❤️

They are still soooo in love I could cry. Well...I did...indeed...

Follow me on Insta, if you want to: @p4perhug 🌙✨

”It would be a hundred times easier

If we were young again

But as it is

And it is

We're just two slow dancers, last ones out

We're two slow dancers, last ones out”

[zoyssauce]

post-war wolfstar is so fascinating to me. two boys that were friends who cared for each other, sure, but that was all. ordinary teenage boyhood, maybe the odd romantic thought here and there, but easily forgettable. friends. until they weren’t. until sirius was living with remus, almost twenty years after the last time they did. until they were forced to be alone together, and reassess their friendship in a different world as different people.

dear friends that had never existed without the other two. because it was sirius and james, and remus and peter. james fit with them all, peter didn’t fit with any, but who were they to question it? not once did they think they would live a life without them. and they were friends, and they cared for each other, but remus understood peter; the urge to linger quietly, let the louder boys carry the conversation, cling to their words and to their protection. and sirius was james’ other half; he knew him better than anyone else, could finish his sentences before they even escaped his mouth. remus and sirius? they were the leftover puzzle pieces. with enough force, it could work, but it never quite slotted in right.

they had no reason to be close, beyond what living together and having the same set of friends did. sirius was jagged and sharp, sometimes too bright to look at. he could be cruel, mean to hide the hurt inside. his barbs were like lashes, always defensive, always sensitive. remus had never liked it. remus was curved, moulding into whatever they wanted. he was quiet because he believed he had to be, to keep the the friendships he valued the most. he believed he was nothing without his friends, after all. he would always let it slide, always let them get away with anything, and never say a word. sirius had never liked it.

they didn’t quite fit until they were all each other had left. until sirius - angry, loud, cocky sirius - and remus - quiet, bookish, pushover remus - weren’t the boys that left hogwarts. until war and death had their claws in two boys and ruined the people they could have been. until solitude hardened their hearts into mere shades of the bright-eyed boys of 1971.

and sirius, who had always been handsome, suddenly seemed more beautiful when the barbs out of his mouth were protecting a boy with james’ hair and lily’s eyes — when he defended, instead of antagonised. and remus had never been more attractive than in order meetings, still quiet but with steel in his voice because he was not afraid of what it could bring him, not when silence had ruined his friendships in the last war — when he stood his ground, instead of turning away.

they were not the same, not anymore, and yet fit better than they ever had. the puzzle had changed, and their jagged edges lined up perfectly. the lonely werewolf. the azkaban escapee. remus lupin. sirius black. and these odd pieces, left in the dust of war, found each other in the aftermath. sirius had never quite understood remus until he was the one clinging to letters from his godson, locked away like a caged animal. and remus had never understood sirius, not until the injustice made his blood boil, anger seeping from his skin for the crimes against his friend. they were older, slightly wiser, and willing to find each other, trust each other, and love more than they ever had before — because they never knew how much they needed the other until they were gone.

and they loved, they loved so much, until it all came for them too.

i’m so glad wolfstar exists

[otterly-darling]

First Love

‘What about you Sirius?’

‘Well,’ Sirius pulls Remus further against him, dropping a kiss onto his head. ‘About forty-five years ago there was this boy… freckled skin, curly hair, amber eyes. Liked to read. Liked me. And I thought yeh, he’s perfect. And that was it! My first and last love.’

James rolled his eyes fondly, ‘You sap.’

‘Always been mooning for Moony,’ Marlene added.

‘Remus what about you?’ Lily asked, hand on James’ thigh.

Remus smiled and sat up a little. ‘Well,’ he started, ‘About forty-five years ago there was this boy…’ Remus shuffled round to face Sirius and cupped his face in both hands, starring into his eyes. ‘You are so beautiful,’ he whispered and Sirius smiled.

‘Even after forty-five years?’

‘Even after forty-five years.’

There was a collective ‘Awww,’ from around the room.

‘So Sirius was your first love too then?’ Dorcas practically cooed.

Remus just continued to stare at Sirius, watching as the familiar pink flush spread over his cheeks and he tucked a silver strand of once-black hair behind Sirius’ ear, stroking over his cheek bone with the fingers of the other hand.

‘Nah,’ he said suddenly, turning back round, throwing his hands behind his head and kicking his feet up on the coffee table. ‘A bloke called Glenn sucked me off round the back of the pub when I was about fifteen.’

Sirius lunged for him, pulling him back into his lap. ‘Oof my back,’ he grimaced as he tried to rearrange Remus’ legs. ‘You’re a menace, you know that? Take that back.’

‘You’re such a melon,’ Remus kissed Sirius’ nose, ‘Who do you think I was thinking about when Glenn had my cock in his mouth?’

Over 30

“How old are you, Pa��foot?” Little James asked, looking up at Sirius expectantly. Both Harry and Remus hid snorts in their fists. Sirius glared at them both. 

“How old do you think I am?” Sirius asked, trying to remain focused on his grandson rather than his mutinous husband and godson.

James thought for a moment. “One hundred and sixty five!” he exclaimed.

Harry couldn’t contain himself anymore and burst out laughing. 

“Well. That does seem quite old, James,” Sirius said. 

“But you have white hair!” James pointed out, pulling a fist of Sirius’s salt and pepper hair a proof.

“Ouch! We don’t pull hair. It hurts,” Sirius said, unwinding the small fist from his length of hair. 

“Sorry,” James said, a worried pucker appearing between his eyes. 

“I’m alright,” Sirius said, more softly, since the little boy seemed concerned he’d been hurt.

After Harry took James home, Remus came over and kissed him softly. “You know, you look good for your age.”

“Shut up,” Sirius said, but there was no bite to it. “If I’m one hundred and sixty five, so are you. We’re the same age.”

If he was honest with himself - and Sirius always tried to be as the best guard against the censure of others was a keen-eyed observation of his own shortcomings - he would have recognised the ache behind his rib cage for what it was.

The fierce need to be Remus' first.

And a gnawing jealousy at the idea that he wasn't.

It wasn't reasonable. Nor was it flattering. But it was there - a desperate, stricken feeling that made him tremble in a way he tried to hide behind the kisses he confidently trailed against Remus' jawline.

He wanted to ask:

"Have there been others?"

"Have they touched you?"

"Tell me what they did to you so I can go one better."

But the words were choked by his own desire. His hands faltered a little as they sought the familiar and unfamiliar contours of his friend's lean body.

He wanted this.

He feared this.

The air was sucked from his lungs.

Remus paused, breathless, and with characteristic restraint he whispered in the darkness, "We can stop. We don't have to. We can wait."

A momentary hesitation. Sirius stood on the precipice. Behind stretched years of yearning. Ahead was the unknown. He wound his fingers through the hair at the nape of Remus' neck. His heart thudded in his throat as he heard his own voice as though it was someone else's - raw, unguarded, and thick with desire - as he finally confessed, "No. I can't."

Prompt 13 - Woo

@wolfstarmicrofic February 13, word count 265

“What’s all this?” Remus asked as he removed his heavy bag from his shoulder and hung it on the hook by the door along with his coat and scarf. He kicked his shoes off and placed them neatly on the shoe rack. 

“I am attempting to woo you with a romantic evening,” Sirius called through from the kitchen. Remus couldn’t help but feel touched as he followed the trail of rose petals through to the kitchen. 

“Sirius, we’re like a thousand years old. The kids will be back any second, and all I want is a hot bath.” Remus sighed, wrapping his arms around Sirius’s waist and kissing him sweetly on the lips. 

“Age is an illusion,” Sirius scoffed. Besides, the kids are at Lily and James’s, keeping their cousin Harry on his toes. They will be staying there the entire night, and your bubble bath is already run. Here.” Sirius turned in Remus’s arms and held out a plate of steaming pasta and a tall glass of wine. “Take this and enjoy your bath. I’ll be waiting in the bedroom for you when you’re done.” Sirius reached up on his tiptoes to kiss Remus on the cheek.

Remus watched him go and was surprised when Sirius let the dressing gown he’d been wearing slip from his shoulders to pool in the doorway, and he was completely naked beneath. Remus immediately put down his dinner and ran after Sirius. Dinner could wait. He couldn’t remember the last time they had more than five minutes to themselves, and he wasn’t about to waste a single second.

Heartbroken (Feb 16th)

word count: 531

@wolfstarmicrofic

Remus and Sirius are sitting across from each other in a cafe that serves the best breakfast Sirius has ever had. It’s absurdly early, the sun is not completely up in the sky, and the both of them are sweaty and miserable. At least, Sirius feels sweaty and miserable. 

“Do you feel good right now?” Sirius asks, stirring sugar into his coffee. 

Remus snorts. “I feel miserable.”

Sirius raises his cup of coffee for a pseudo toast. “Hear, hear.”

“Why would someone do something so energy consuming at five thirty in the morning?” Remus blinks, slumping in his chair. “I am so sore. And tired. How did you convince me to go?”

Sirius scoffs. “As if. It was your idea, darling babe. You wanted us to get into working out this year.” Sirius considers for a moment. “It wasn’t a bad workout class, honestly. Just rather intense.”

“And too loud and dark. Ugh. I can't believe I still have to go through an entire day.”

Sirius laughs. “That’s a funny sentence.”

Remus blinks again. “I have to teach in a couple of hours. Do you know how much fun I have teaching?”

Sirius raises an eyebrow. “You love teaching.”

“I do,” Remus says, nodding miserably. “Just not after a high intensity– what is it that we did, again?”

“I’m not sure,” Sirius says. He rotates his shoulder and it pops. “All I know is I really underestimated how much it would kick my ass.”

“And to think we were teen Quidditch athletes a few lifetimes ago.”

Sirius laughs, shaking his head. “Don’t remind me, you’ll break my heart.”

Remus smiles and Sirius is in love with the smile lines around his eyes. “I know we’re not that peppy right now, but I think we kicked that workout’s ass as much as it kicked ours.”

Sirius nods. “Yeah, definitely.”

Remus looks at his watch. “When does your shift start?”

Sirius cringes. “I forgot about that.”

“You forgot about your job?”

Sirius smiles. “Yeah. I have a twelve hour shift today.”

“Oh no,” Remus says, sounding entirely too mortified. 

Sirius snorts. “It’s not that bad. It’s mostly just healing broken bones and runny noses this time of year.”

Remus shudders. “Oh, how I love teaching. Thank you for reminding me.”

“Anytime, Re,” Sirius says. He takes a biteful of his eggs. “I don’t necessarily want to do what we did this morning ever again, but this is nice. Spending more time in the morning with you.”

Remus throws his straw wrapper at Sirius. He’s smiling when he says, “You’re being entirely too sentimental for six thirty in the damn morning. Finish your breakfast.”

“Aye aye, cap–”

“We could do something less sweaty if you want. Next time.”

Sirius grins. “Oh, you can’t get enough of me, can you?”

Remus makes a show of moving out of his chair. “I will go home without you.”

Sirius reaches out for Remus’ hand and holds it. “Don’t. You’re the best part of my morning.”

Remus’ eyes soften. “You are, as well. Always.” He winks playfully. “Don’t tell anyone, though.”

Sirius mimics sewing his mouth shut. This is the best morning Sirius has had in a while.

A small little wolfstar (ish) piece I just finished writing.

Thought I’d post it here in case anyone is interested.

[euripidestrousers]

What are your big wolfstar hc?

Ooh good question!

I tend to change my hcs based on the AU I'm writing, but i am not exaggerating when I say these little freaks are Always on My Mind so I have an ungodly amount of canon-themed hcs. Here we go:

- Remus is one of the only people Sirius cuts a fair amount of slack. Sirius has high standards and expectations of others but he has a huge Remus-shaped blind spot, so will find reasons to excuse Remus' sometimes shitty behaviour. He has heart shaped eyes for his gangly, sly, avoidant attachment style man.

- Remus sleeps like an absolute log, anywhere, anytime. Sirius has always been a light sleeper, wakes easily, and doesn't sleep much.

- They kept their casual fucking-turned relationship secret until well after graduating. The only ones who knew were James, Lily and Peter. Lily was the first one to figure it out because poor James had been in the trenches, so used to his friends' flirting that he didn't even clock it anymore. It brought Lily and Sirius together because he had someone to talk about it with, the first person he'd met who wasn't a casual homophobe about it, and was sympathetic.

- Second to this! James and Peter weren't always rainbow flag waving allies. They were teenage boys in the 70s - they'd drop casual homophobic comments all the time before finding out about their friends. Sirius joined in sometimes to hide it from James (he never cared what anyone else would think but he was secretly afraid of losing closeness with James), and Remus went very quiet whenever this happened. James was surprised at first when he found out but came around within minutes and apologised for being a thoughtless dick when he was younger.

- Peter most definitely used Remus and Sirius' tumultuous relationship against them. Remus was very avoidant about coming out and Sirius, while not his highest priority, resented having to hide. They bickered about it and Peter would often throw a spanner in to make their fighting worse.

- Sirius' hair is a good indicator of his mental health. While he's not vain he tends to keep it neat and out of the way when he's in a good place mentally. When he's fighting inner demons he lets it go and Remus knows this. He uses it as a Sirius-meter, and knows when it's starting to get long and unkempt to gently pry into what's going on with him.

- They do the crossword puzzles together most mornings (when Remus gets up in time)

- Sirius is fantastic at baking although he only did it once or twice for Lily's birthday (per her request). Remus is the cook for both of them, although when Sirius isn't there he sustains himself on tea, biscuits and deeply suppressed anxiety.

- Sirius is a singer when he's in a good mood. Remus adores coming home to hear his deep voice belting out a mix of muggle and wix songs because it means Sirius is in his happy place. Sirius is a serenader - it starts as a joke but there's a soft look in his eye when sings while he spins Remus around the kitchen. It's one of Remus' favourite Sirius-isms

- Sirius jokes about Remus' lycanthropy to make light of it. He can be a bit callous and insensitive about it at times, but his candour does make Remus feel less like a monster.

- They are god-awful at communicating as they're both rather private, skeptical people. While it's something they have in common and respect about each other, it makes for difficulties in a relationship.

- Sirius is a Nightmare when he's bored so Remus has a mental Rolodex of thought-provoking questions to stop him from wreaking havoc (or just being annoying). As soon as he sees the restlessness starting, he casually brings up that new law about to pass in the goblin senate, and how it might affect non-human creatures in the wizarding world. He still hasn't recovered from the time Sirius got bored and took apart his record player to see how it worked and he's not getting caught out again. This is also one of the reasons why Remus is in Sirius' top 3 favourite people - he always has something interesting to say and will happily debate for hours. Sirius is hardly ever bored around him.

- Neither of them are jealous lovers. Remus' self-worth is in the toilet, so if he sees someone flirting with Sirius he just feels miserable and spirals, thinking about how Sirius can do so much better than him. Sirius is a fiercely loyal person so he never flirts back and thinks Remus' self-image issues are ridiculous. On the odd occasion that someone flirts with Remus, Sirius rather enjoys it because a) it's ammunition for teasing and Remus will go bright red when he brings it up, and b) Watching Remus eventually realise he's being flirted with is prime entertainment - he fumbles and blushes so hard and almost takes out whoever's around in his haste to flee. It's priceless. Also - Sirius is extremely self-assured and knows his partner is hopelessly gone for him and would never cheat. Trust is extremely important to them both.

- Remus is extremely unpleasant around the full moon. He's got all sorts of aches and pains, has trouble sleeping properly, fatigue, and nausea issues. It makes him irritable and snappy. Sirius is incredibly patient with him and gives him space. He doesn't take Remus' mood to heart and occupies himself while Remus wallows. He's always there when Remus finally emerges from his misery to pitifully request a massage or a pain potion, and is uncharacteristically soft with him during the full moon period.

- Sirius. Cannot. Stand. the way Remus runs away from problems. It's his biggest pet peeve and it's a source of some of their biggest fights.

- Remus is mostly vanilla-aligned but is open to trying whatever new thing Sirius comes home with, smiling giddily and clutching a new toy or book with a spell he wants to try out. Occasionally Sirius will strike gold and find a kink Remus is wild for (ahem, praise kink), and is horribly smug about it

- Sirius is hopelessly gone for Remus' feigning innocence, lying through his teeth act. He doesn't understand it, but seeing Remus lie point blank to someone's face with those big, trustworthy brown eyes, sends him off-the chain, I-need-to-fuck-this-man-right-now-wild and he has no clue why. Remus is aware of this.

- They are mostly switchy but will go for months at a time with a preference for topping/bottoming. When Remus is feeling particularly insecure he tends to want to be fucked intimately, face-to-face, where he can see every twitch in Sirius' face, can catalogue the evidence of how much Sirius adores him. Sirius is just happy to be along for the ride because this way he can completely blanket Remus and grind slowly, swallowing every one of Remus' whimpers and broken moans as he fucks him slowly and thoroughly. Sirius can't get enough of taking him apart, finding his limits, anything that breaks Remus' finely tuned composure.

- Sirius is awful at apologies when they're younger. He has trouble admitting or even seeing his wrongs. After becoming an animagus he finds that it's much easier to apologise as Padfoot. After a fight he'll go for a rage-fuelled long walk or bike-ride, and cool down. When he's said or done something he regrets, he'll come home as Padfoot, tail drooping and wagging hopefully, big grey eyes fixed on Remus. He'll sidle up to him and just stare, wagging his tail. Remus knows exactly what he's doing but it's impossible to stay mad at him like this and he begrudgingly accepts that it's Sirius' way of apologising. It's not the healthiest communication tactic but they're not perfect. Once Sirius receives a begrudging head scratch, he changes back to his human form and acts like they never fought. It's annoyingly effective.

- Remus absolutely loathes flying on Sirius' motorbike. He begrudgingly admits it's hot to see Sirius dismounting, windswept, leather jacket donned, but god help him he'll do anything to avoid joining him on that death-trap. The only upside is that when he gets cajoled into riding, he can wrap around Sirius like a squid, burying his face in his back, and it's the only way it feels even slightly safe. Sirius secretly loves when Remus does this, and although he doesn't know what cute aggression is, it makes him want to squeeze Remus until his head pops off.

- Sirius is The Garbage Bin of the relationship. Oh you're not gonna finish your dinner? Pass it on over. Random assortment of treats Remus can't finish? Munches on them instead of meals. He often forgets to eat so he gets what he can when he can - ADHD eating style. Remus is the sick Victorian child, 'i can't eat too much dairy or I'll die'. Takes one bite of an apple and feels sick, Sirius, come get your snack, boy.

- Neither of them ever wanted kids but they both like children, which is a surprise to both of them. Given the chance, they are the Coolest Uncles, although Remus is cagey about their relationship and insists they're just best pals that live together until Harry is old enough to call bullshit, and Sirius just shrugs like 'yeah, he's weird about it. If you ask him about it he'll run away to Turkey. I'm working on it.'

Wowwww okay I have so many more but I have to stop somewhere. I hope you don't regret asking this question anon! You have opened Pandora's box
