kid fic

400 words, @wolfstarmicrofic

Across the table, eyes locked, Harry and Teddy glared at each other. Their elbows were glued to the table, hand wrapped around the other’s.

They both looked like their veins were on the verge of bursting.

“What are you doing?” Sirius asked.

Teddy growled, “Arm.”

“Wrestling,” Harry ground out.

“Are you supposed to just… stay in the same position for ten minutes?” Sirius gestured.

They both pulled back, shaking their heads.

“No, I’ll show you what’s supposed to happen,” Harry signalled for Sirius to come over.

Teddy dramatically got up, smirking as he so thoughtfully gave up his seat on the floor for Sirius.

Harry was also smirking. Sirius was getting worried.

“Alright, put your elbow here,” Harry slapped the table.

Sirius gingerly did so, hand suddenly gripped in Harry’s. “Okay,” Harry nodded. “My aim is to push your arm to the table like so,” he demonstrated.

“Ow!” Sirius yelped, arm suddenly twisted onto the table.

“Your aim,” Teddy patted his father’s shoulder, “Is to push Harry’s arm to the opposite side, like he did to you.” He clapped Sirius’s back, whispering, “Good luck. He’s actually strong, but don’t tell him I said that.”

“I heard that,” Harry grinned, and Teddy groaned. But then Harry smiled, “Don’t worry, I think you’re pretty strong too.”

Sirius looked fondly between his two sons.

Then war began.

“Three, two, one!” Teddy yelled. “Go!”

Harry was strong. Sirius’s arm immediately collapsed flat on the table.

“What?!” Sirius gaped. “How did you do that?!”

Harry and Teddy flexed their fingers. “Been training with Moony,” Harry said.

“Werewolf strength,” Teddy clarified.

Rising to his feet, Sirius stomped into the kitchen. “You’ve been teaching them strength but not me?!”

“Uh,” Remus stuttered. He shrugged, “I was just trying to control them. They kept running around and full-on tackling each other, so I told them to sit still and wrestle.”

“Why didn’t you ever use arm wrestling to control James and I?! Think of the muscles I could have right now!”

“Well… I didn’t need violence to control you. I could just kiss you,” Remus smiled reminiscently.

Sirius gasped, “You were using our love as a method of control?!” He shook his head, marching up to Remus, brandishing a finger in his face. “That’s it. I will train until I destroy you.”

Remus snorted, then pecked Sirius’s lips. Sirius blinked dazedly, completely forgetting the contents of his brain.

[merlinsbudgiesmugglers]

Teddy Lupin was raised by his grandmother, Andromeda TONKS. The woman who lost her husband, daughter and son-in-law in less than six months. Teddy was all she had left and people are here wanting to hand him off to a traumatised 17 year old.

[soraya-snape]

You know what I hate the most? It's people saying that Harry should have named Ablus Severus, Remus. And this is not even because I love Dumbledore and Snape (or at least not mainly) but because Harry already has a son called Remus and everyone saying this usually completely forgets about him. His name is EDWARD REMUS LUPIN and just because he is “only” Harry's godson doesn't mean he doesn't love him as much as his 3 biological children. On the contrary, Harry Potter the boy whose main parental figures were the parents of his best friend, his godfather, and his teachers knows this better than anyone. He knows he already has a son named after Remus.

[dorythewritingfish]

I was bored at Uni, so I drew this out of Harry’s perspective.

They are on a trip, in a garden.

Sirius and Regulus are in their Animagus form, James aka Dad is the sun because Regulus always calls him the sun.

And yes, Remus uses a cane.

[otterly-darling]

First Song

Sirius woke up with a jolt; his legs kicking out and his heart thumping. It was dark and the room was warm, the heady smell of sleep in the air.

He lay there for a moment, wondering what had woken him - the house was quiet. But then he heard it, muted through the darkness, a soft, sweet sound that Sirius had rarely heard.

The space next to him was empty and he rolled over further, breathing in Remus’ scent to find the crib was empty too. Getting out of bed seemed easy then, sliding his feet into slippers and pulling on a threadbare sweater. The landing was dark too but there was light spilling up the stairs and Sirius padded downward feeling as though his heart may burst.

Remus was in the kitchen, their son tucked safely in one arm and he was singing softly. A song Sirius hadn’t heard for years.

‘Hi,’ Remus looked up with a beautiful smile as he saw Sirius standing in the doorway. ‘We couldn’t sleep. Did I wake you?’

Sirius shook his head, it wasn’t a lie, he was meant to wake up to this moment. ‘I haven’t heard that song in years.’ He made his way over and Remus put the sleeping baby into his arms.

‘It’s the song that was playing when-‘

‘You kissed me for the first time.’ Sirius finished for him. ‘I know.’ He looked down at his son; pale skin, auburn hair. Just perfect. ‘God I love you.’

Remus caught his chin with two fingers. ‘More than all the stars in the sky, my love.’ And he kissed him again.

[itsriotmotherfuckers]

So we all know the AU where Sirius and Remus raise Harry, but I have a new suggestion. What if, after Alice and Frank are tortured to the point of insanity and James and Lily are murdered, Sirius and Remus take both Harry and Neville in.

Imagine Harry and Neville being raised as brothers with a solid support network. Imagine both of them having childhoods free of neglect and abuse and expectations. Them being raised with stories of their parents and a household full of love and kindness. Them getting to stay up at night, hiding out under the blankets with a flashlight to giggle about nothing. Them stealing cookie dough and bits of food while Sirius and Remus cook, making a competition out of it. Them going off to Hogwarts together, being sorted together, and having sleepovers in the same fourposter.

Then imagine little Teddy Lupin being born, probably when they’re still relatively young, maybe seven or eight. Them getting so excited, getting in Sirius and Remus’ bed to poke Remus’ stomach and talk to their baby sibling (and sometimes poke Sirius’ stomach just because they can). Them taking it upon themselves to teach Teddy new words and then turning it into a challenge to see who can teach them more. Them rushing Sirius to get them home from Hogwarts quicker every break so they can say hi to their little sibling. Them regaling Teddy with tales of the castle (some of which are more made up than others just to fuck with them) together.

Imagine their family being Sirius, Remus, Neville, Harry, and Teddy, living together and being happy. They all get a happy ending. They get to be safe and surrounded by love. Just… imagine.

Remus the "Head of the PTA" dad and Sirius the "I couldn't care less" dad

[until-the-house-shakes]

Sirius and Remus raising Teddy

Sirius was the one to dye Teddy’s hair blue

Teddy is 100% non binary and they went to Remus about it first.

Teddy was born from a surrogate, and Remus is technically the bio father but they never talk about it. Both of them are equally Teddy’s dad. No matter genetics

Sirius teaches Teddy piano and French

Remus teaches Teddy Welsh and always reads with them in their library

Teddy sometimes feels a little jealous of Harry because in their mind, Loud Boisterous and Athletic Harry Potter was Sirius’s favorite. They had more in common and hung out one on one a lot. Teddy on the other hand is quiet, calm, and more of a inside activity person.

This leads to Teddy having more of a preference for Remus which obviously upsets Sirius, but he tries not to think on it too much.

Sirius tries everything he can think of to spend more time with Teddy, which leads to both of them discovering how much Teddy loves modifying the Bike and working on cars and other machines.

Because I can. Teddy is only a year younger than Harry, and has the BIGGEST crush on Ron. Sirius and Harry tease the fuck out of them for it.

[y0url0verb0y]

Regulus: James...where's Harry?!

James: ...

Sirius: ...

Regulus: JAMES!?

Sirius *whispering:* play dumb

James: Who's James?

Sirius *whisper yelling*: not that dumb!

James: if it makes you feel any better Sirius doesn't have Teddy either...

Regulus: Why would that make me feel any better?!?!

Marriage of Convenience

Sirius came home from work to find Remus sitting at the kitchen table dejectedly reading over a letter. He put his stuff down and came to stand behind him, reading over his shoulder.

“She wants to fight you for custody?” Sirius said, confused. Remus and Dora had shared custody of Teddy for years. 

“She and Fleur are moving. She wants to take Teddy with them,” Remus said in a choked voice.

Sirius felt anger course through him. He loved Teddy, but he never fully trusted Dora when it came to these matters. She always seemed like she wanted to keep Remus close and push him away. At least if they moved, maybe some of that tension would disappear.

“We’re not going to let that happen,” Sirius said, sitting down and taking his hand.

Remus gave a hollow laugh. “We’re not? I don’t see how. The judge isn’t going to let me take on full custody when his mother…”

Sirius gathered Remus in his arms and held him tightly. “Well…what if we made it harder for them. We have a house, a room for Teddy…”

“They always favor the mother…especially when I’m technically single so…” Remus said, curling into Sirius' chest, letting him support his weight.

Sirius thought for a moment. “What if you weren’t?”

‘Weren’t…what?”

“Single,” Sirius said, as if it was obvious. 

Remus sat up in confusion. “Sirius, I thought you didn’t -”

“I don’t want to get married to carry on the Black traditions, no. But I do want to be married to you, and to help your son become our son.”

“That’s…almost romantic.”

Sirius chuckled and let go of Remus. He shifted so he was kneeling in front of Remus. “Remus, will you marry me?”

“Of course."

Every time Teddy is called Theodore in post-canon fics something in me dies. Look, I love the name, but Teddy Remus Lupin was named after his grandfather Edward Tonks and in this house we respect that.

drama

313 words, @wolfstarmicrofic

“Harry’s being a drama llama,” Teddy pointed an accusing finger at said culprit.

“No, I’m not!” Harry denied. “My life is ruined. Teddy’s ruined my life!” He whined.

“Uh huh,” Remus nodded, nose buried in a book. In fact, by nodding, his nose practically bumped into the page.

Sirius snorted, then went back to pretending to be busy cleaning the kitchen. Of course he wasn’t peering out of the door at every second to laugh at his family. ‘Course not.

“I haven’t!” Teddy pouted, “Moony, I would never ruin Harry’s life! He’s my brother.”

“Brother,” Harry scoffed.

“Yeah, brother,” Teddy sneered.

“A true brother,” Harry declared. “Would never put Hedwig in the washer with pink clothes!” He brandished the owl demonstratively. “Now she’s pink!”

Teddy rolled his eyes. “It’s okay for owls to be pink.”

“But she was a snowy owl!” Harry whinged. “Snowy owls are white!”

“Snowy owl toys are any colour!”

“But she’s a realistic owl! Identical to the real thing!” Harry then wielded a finger at Teddy, “But you! Ruined! It!”

Teddy muttered, “I think you’re just racist towards pink owls.”

“I am not racist!”

“Racism is bad,” Remus helpfully inputted.

“Exactly,” Teddy agreed sagely, giving Harry a pointed look.

Harry huffed, “Fine, I accept pink snowy owls. Their feather colour doesn’t matter. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.”

“...Stuffing,” Teddy deadpanned.

Harry threw his arms up in frustration. “What do you want me to say?!”

“Just…” Teddy shrugged. “Don’t be cringey. You’re an actor, be original.”

“Would you stop calling me dramatic?!”

“When you stop being dramatic.”

Suddenly, arms flying, the two brothers proceeded to scuffle, tackling each other as they rolled over the floor.

Sirius crept past them, hands wrapping around his husband’s shoulders. “Drama llamas,” he sighed, shaking his head at their sons.

Remus side-eyed him.

Sirius gasped, clutching his chest, “What was that side-eye for?!”
