sirius would fall first for james - the second he sees his bright sunshine smile with a big front tooth gap he’d be smitten blushing red and getting hearts in his eyes

james would realise he has a crush on sirius the first time sirius opens up about how cruel his mother is and how worried he is about leaving reggie at home alone all year like that - he’d hold onto sirius and want to protect him with every fibre in his body

they’re both first years, eleven and twelve when they get their crushes.

they’re both third years, awkward teenagers with voices that crack and an abnormal amount of body hair they freak out about together, when they realise they’re in love with the other.

it’s not till they’re twenty one, and sirius is cradling james’ lifeless body that he tells him he’s the only person sirius has ever loved

it’s not till sirius is thirty three and looking across the dark street at a boy with james’ face and a trunk beside him, waiting for the knight bus, that sirius lets himself weep for the first time since that night, about the man he lost twelve years ago

(doing that thing where i go back to old great asks / prompt requests because i had a bad day lol, and this one was so gooooooood) the meme was: give me a pairing and i'll shuffle my playlist and make up an AU based on the song

"here comes a thought" - from steven universe, feat. Estelle and AJ Michalka

(linking to the youtube video bc i listened to it recently when my therapist told me to and i may or may not have sobbed. highly recommend taking the 3 min to watch❤)

and damn, this shit does NOT need to be AU to work for prongsfoot, but okay, since AU is what the prompt asks for:

Everyone knows Sirius Black is one of those kids -- nothing but trouble, always trying to make life harder for his parents, does all this acting out just to get attention. He runs away and no one asks why, they just take him by the collar and throw him back through the threshold. He does drugs and no one asks why, they just give him endless detentions and suspensions. He tries to end it all and no one asks why, they just lock him up where, finally, he can be someone else's problem. Sirius knows as soon as he sees James Potter that the other boy doesn't belong there. But Sirius is selfish, everyone has always said it, and James is funny. The walls aren't as gray when he's in the room. His last roommate didn't speak, and Sirius got put in isolation for three days when the one before that spit in his face and called him a faggot. (It isn't nice to strangle people when they call you a faggot.) James talks to him, doesn't call him a faggot, asks if Sirius knows a way to get into the front desk staff's candy stash. So even though this place is evil, Sirius is glad James is here. The doctors don't really care that Sirius wakes up every night between 3 and 4am and can't breathe. They give him a round blue pill, then a small yellow pill, finally a long pink one, and then they tell him it's all in his head. Tell him to breathe. Tell him to call the night staff if he needs someone. But the night staff just sticks a needle in you so you miss breakfast and the outside hour and feel like shit when you finally get up at 1 in the afternoon. So Sirius climbs out of bed mechanically every night, takes his pillow and bedsheet, and huddles in the nearby corner. He holds the pillow and begs his body to breathe, tries to remember that it hasn't killed him any other night; it's just in his head, it's all in his head. It doesn't matter, though. Every night he's terrified his breath won't come back. Every morning he's embarrassed he got so fucking upset about it again. He is so thankful to find that James is a deep sleeper. He's so thankful, until he isn't. Until he and James fall into each other laughing on the sofa during recreation time every day, their hands and arms entangled. Until they sneak back inside during outside hour and steal three girl scout cookies each from the box left open at reception. Until they stay up past light's out and whisper about their favorite things, their plans, asking each other all the questions except the obvious ones. Then, he starts to wish James weren't so heavy a sleeper. James finds out one night when he gets up to pee at 3:43. He doesn't make a big deal of it. He sits down next to Sirius and looks him in his panicked eyes and says, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here." James takes Sirius's hand and Sirius is a little less scared, finds a little more room in his chest to breathe. The two boys hold each other with a firm grip until the twisting shadows in their minds start to retreat, and tomorrow feels more possible.

dedicated to everyone who reads this and knows what the gray walls look like, or fears meeting them. it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. <3

I was just listening to guilty flowers by ward thomas (I think) and I was thinking about how it could be sung to sirius by two different people

James - person he betrayed bc James asked would be regulus when Sirius left for the potters house and when he betrayed James would be yknow voldy but now I realise that wouldn't work so well

Remus - betrayed regulus as he pushed him to move in with James and then either the prank or when he thought Sirius betrayed James 😦

-🌹

if i wasn't absolutely writer's blocked rn i would give you something to feed on

also my love you really have to stop sending me asks for gut wrenching shit

11 year old James Potter was very confident and self assured for his age because he grew up with parents who loved and supported him no matter what.

11 year old Sirius Black was very confident and self assured for his age because if he wasn't he'd be dead.

[in-flvx]

Sirius 🤝 snape

Still grieving about their first and only love who married someone else and became Harry's parent

[yourgalgremlin]

Not the Black family trauma 🫠

[wolvesandshine]

Okay but what if Regulus didn’t know Sirius ran away to the Potters? What if he genuinely thought that his parents had killed Sirius? What if he mourned his death only to find out that Sirius was actually alive and well with his actual brother and had completely forgotten about him

[sspadfoot]

James sobbing his eyes out in front of Sirius after Regulus broke up with him

[starrylayle]

the thing about wolfstar is they no doubt love each other,, but they're not soulmates. In fact, they're the complete opposite, fate is almost begging to keep them apart. They shouldn't work. They're both two traumatised boys with familial issues, queer in the 70s and both stubborn in their mindsets. The people they've hurt the most is each other. They've lived through a war, Sirius was falsely imprisoned and Remus lived believing that, but they still managed to reconcile. Considering everything, they probably shouldn't be together -- but they do. They fight against all odds to make it work. And this is my absolute fave part of wolfstar fics.

It's also why I prefer wolfstar to prongsfoot -- despite the fact that in theory they seem like the better couple.

Because I don't like couples where the universe binds them together by fate. I like couples where the universe does its best to pit them apart, but they struggle and claw their way back together regardless. And that is the beauty of wolfstar my folks.

Sirius loved all of the marauders. Including Peter.

At age 15, the marauders had made their reputation in Hogwarts. They were the pranksters; the cool, easy ones; popular, with the big friend group. They were Sirius and James, Remus and… the other one.

Sirius had a soft spot for Peter. At age 11, James had introduced Pete as his ‘best friend’, and so, being the selfish prick he often is, Sirius was skeptical. Jealous.

Now, he could see past that. In loving James, Sirius learnt to see people differently. James loved Peter - so would he.

He felt protective over the boy, because as he saw it, they were the same. Peter could relate to him how the others couldn’t - the outcast in their ‘clique’. The black sheep. Peter was never treated equally to the others, and in this he saw himself, so naturally, Sirius swore he would do something about it. Though they never talked about deep things - family things, feelings things - there was an understanding between them. An unspoken solidarity that they shared, and craved, apparently, and as they found themselves spending more time together, their like-mindedness only amplified this into a friendship that you don’t find just anywhere.

So at age 15, the marauders had made their reputation. But it wasn’t unchangeable. Sirius hated people’s assumptions and made Peter’s importance known. James and Sirius, the dynamic duo. Remus, the brains. And Peter, the heart. Peter, the most down-to-earth, loyal person he knew. The trustworthy, gentle boy he’d learnt to love, would not go forgotten. Not if he had a say in things.

James was his brother, Remus was.. different, but Pete? Pete was his best friend. And he was determined to make this known. To everyone else, but mostly to Peter. Because Peter was also a black sheep, and Sirius knew how it felt to feel lonely among your own people. As long as they were friends, neither of them would have to be.

wolfstarbucks but remus feels a bit like he’s intruding in sirius and james’ bond, feels a bit inadequate, a bit introverted and quiet in comparison—why would they want him? and sirius has been very obv in flirting with remus so remus isn’t insecure abt that really, it’s obvious sirius wants him but james? james hasn’t made any obvious move towards him. james who wears his heart on his sleeve and loves so easily, james who’s been so loud in trying to woo lily, in showering sirius with his affection, james who’s always so obvious. this james? hasn’t expressed an ounce of romantic interest in remus. and maybe, because he doesn’t want him—he wants sirius. remus is just standing in the way.

wolfstarbucks but james has been watching his two best friends fall in love and sure, it doesn’t surprise him that sirius would want him too because it’s sirius? they’re together in every sense of the term, why not this extra step? but remus looks uncomfortable every time he’s there and james knows he’s a lot to take in, he’s messy and overbearing, but sirius matches his energy, so it’s easy to be himself with him, but what if he’s too much for remus? what if remus just tolerates him because he loves sirius and james was being too arrogant in thinking he might want him too? what if remus can handle sirius—loves him but not james?

remus usually so at ease with james, suddenly feeling like he’s walking on eggshell because maybe he’s not enough. because he thinks if he doesn’t draw attention to himself, james will be less likely to push him away.

james usually so expressive, suddenly taming down his loud and unfiltered self when he’s with remus because maybe he’s too much. he tries not to smother him with the love he feels for him because he doesn’t want to scare him away.

wolfstarbucks but make it tragic bc james and remus keep missing each other.

He had noticed him from afar, he inched closer and closer until his presence was known by him. James looked into Sirius' eyes, as cold as the metal of the blade he held. Taking his breath away in an instant. His eyes trailed slowly down Sirius' face, that flushed as red as the blood he shed, with lips looking softer than Egyptian cotton, James craved to touch it, just to know exactly how it felt. It was the first time James had looked into his face, like really looked.

**

He could hear whispers, rumors even about Lily being the possible future Queen but only if they knew that Lily had her eyes on someone else. How fast people jumped into assumptions, but they didn't let that affect their friendship.

A person who replaced heaven, a soldier so fierce it brought fear into the souls of their opponents. Someone a land could count on to protect, and someone a heart can't help but lean towards. She is too beautiful to the point of madness, too enchanting to the point where they could call them magic.

With skin like melted smooth chocolate, inviting for a taste, and hair like a river flowing when it's undone. The beauty of Dorcas was unmatched.

[hoarfrostheart]

Sirius's and James's first meeting (aka the start of a tragedy)

He's sitting in front of you with a grin way too wide for his face, his mouth dirty with chocolate, eyes brimming with childlike wonder and you know: You are going to love this boy with all your heart.

And you do. You love him through endless heartbreaks, through war times, through fire and prison, in life and in death.

You love him even as you stand above his lifeless body, even as you lie in an endless darkness slowly forgetting his voice, even as you stare into a face that both is and isn't his; because loving him is all you are, all you have, the only form of love you've ever known.

Ever since July 1976, James and Sirius have always disappeared for the entirety of the second weekend in July.

Every year, without fail, they pack their stuff in the morning of the second Friday of July and they don't come back until Monday morning.

No one knows what they do or where they are during this time. They refuse to talk about it.

What no one knows is that James and Sirius lied about Sirius's escape from home. They told everyone Sirius ran away in late August and got to the Potters without much harm.

The truth is, however, that Sirius got kicked out with several hexes being done on him the second week of July. Even though he tried, he didn't make it to the Potters. He collapsed on the edge of a forest, several kilometres away from their house. It was a mere coincidence (or fate) James chose to change his usual running route that day and found Sirius just an hour later.

Ever since July 1976, James and Sirius use the second weekend of the month to go camping and get drunk in a certain forest.

[a-great-tragedy]

“Nice one James!”

Sirius always congratulated James on everything he did, and James always did the same to Sirius. It was one of the many things that made their friendship so special. They were always happy for each other, no matter what. So, when his best friend casts the spell expelliarmus, Sirius obviously praises him.

Except this time he didn’t say it to James.
