“Ouch, Sirius, that’s my groin!” James groaned as Sirius tried to shove Remus off of them and kneed him between the legs.

“Oops, sorry, Prongs,” Sirius apologised. James tugged his out from under Remus and reached around the pair, rolling until he was on the top. 

“What the?!” Sirius complained as James stood up. James ignored him and looked at the sofa where Sirius had thrown Regulus. He wasn’t there. The thunk of the fridge door shutting alerted him to where Regulus now was, in the kitchen making the tea he’d abandoned. 

He followed the sound of a teaspoon clinking against a mug and found Regulus artfully arranging macarons on a plate. 

“You’re too good for us, you know,” James said, popping one of the delicate treats into his mouth. Regulus blushed again, and James couldn’t resist pressing his lips to the warm, soft skin on Regulus’s cheek. 

If it was possible, Regulus blushed even harder. He busied himself adding milk and sugar to the cups of tea he was making and piled everything onto a tray, keeping his eyes on what he was doing and trying his hardest not to meet James’s eyes. “Let me take that for you,” James said, sidling up behind Regulus as he reached out to pick up the tray. He slid his hands under Regulus’s and picked the tray up with Regulus still between him and the counter. 

“James!” A little bark of a laugh escaped Regulus’s lips, and James nearly dropped the tray. He loved Regulus’s laugh almost as much as he loved the blushing. 

Regulus ducked under his arm, and they returned to the living room where Sirius and Remus were arguing about what they were going to do that day.

“I still think the chocolate museum is an ideal excursion for the whole family,” Remus protested. 

“No, we went there last week. I am sick of chocolate,” Sirius huffed. 

“You take that back,” Remus said, outraged. 

“Shan’t,” Sirius folded his arms across his chest and stuck his nose in the air. “Besides, the park has trampolines,” 

“I hate to break it to you, Padfoot,” James said, grabbing hold of the curtains, opening them fully and revealing the heavy rain thundering down outside. “But I don't think the trampolines will be open today,” 

“Erm, I might have an idea,” Regulus piped up, his words only heard because Sirius hadn’t started talking again. They all spun to look at him, and he visibly shrunk. James felt very protective of him all of a sudden and wanted to comfort him. 

“What’s your idea, love?” He asked gently. 

“We’ll, erm, there’s an art exhibit, and they’re exhibiting some of my work.” Regulus squirmed uncomfortably at all the attention. 

“Sounds perfect, love,” James grinned broadly at him. “Art exhibit it is,” And for once, Sirius and Remus didn’t argue.

I think that when they’re older, Barty and Evan get a cat. But the catch is that they name it something really long and absolutely stupid, and they called the cat by its full name the entire time it was growing up, and so now it won’t respond to anything other than it’s entire mouthful of a name. And Regulus swears he loses a shred of his dignity every single time he goes over there and Barty and Evan force him to greet their silly little cat by it’s silly little name

[barty-whore-jr]

barty trying to take his sweater off but halfway off it gets caught on a piercing so he’s struggling, dorcas and pandora are trying to help him. regulus is just staring at barty’s exposed back dimples and he’s so pissed bc he normally would find the situation amusing but all he can think about is how badly he wants to reach out and touch them

[myopicmeerkat]

*On a hike* Remus: It's beautiful out here. Regulus: And quiet. Remus: Too quiet. Regulus: Did we lose someone? *Cut to Sirius & James, each with a bear in a headlock*

[reggies-fake-horcrux]

hc that James was adopted and that's why effie and Monty like adopting kids and why James feels out of place. like he was a brown kid raised by white parents and constantly feels like he has to be perfect and impress them to feel like he's enough. not because effie and Monty ever did anything to pressure him, just cause he feels different than everyone else.

Head canon that none of the Black cousins knew how to drive and so their respective partners attempt to teach them and it goes terribly wrong and most likely scares their partners for life.

Like just imagine;

James: Okay love, lightly push the gas pedal to start.

Regulus: Alright!:Absolutely floors it

....

Remus: alright, now what you want to do is make sure you check your mirrors before-

Sirius: I know Moony! Gods, you act like I'm an idiot.:Doesn't pay attention at all and nearly drives into a ditch-

....

Andromeda, already driving: And, which one is the break again?

Ted: *Has a panic attack*

....

Alice: Wow Cissa! You're doing suprising well, considering- :Looks over and notices Narcissa using the rearview mirror to fix her hair,:OH MY GODS, EYES ON THE ROAD!

....

Rita: Trixie, stop someone's trying to cross. Trixie. BELLATRIX STOP- OH MY GODS!

Bellatrix: oops!

thinking about a shadowhunters universe jegulus/marauders au. specifically the TMI era.

Sirius and Regulus being the kids of the leaders of the London (?) institute. Their parents used to be circle members but feigned fear and manipulation. Like the lightwoods they're allowed back into the shadowhunter homeland on important business due to having children. They still very much believe in the ideas of the circle and are incredibly upset that the Black name has been tarnished and have put pressure on Sirius and Regulus to bring them to glory once again.

Remus was the son of a prominent shadowhunter family and during training when he was young he and his father got ambushed by a pack of werewolves. Remus got bitten and, even though it's not a 100% chance a bite means being turned on the next full moon he's locked in his family's basement and writhing in pain as he changes for the first time.

Peter, I imagine, would be a close Hodge equivalent. Not a 1-1 obviously, but close. His parents were Shadowhunters who also followed the circle but died by being ripped apart by demons and he witnessed it. Hatred festering every time he was sent out on the field. Which, sadly, didn't happen often as physically he was behind Sirius and Regulus (which isn't a fair comparison due to the fact that since either of them could properly hold things weapons were shoved in their hands).

Evan and Pandora are warlocks, they're both a bit eccentric in their own ways, and they prefer to keep out of shadowhunter stuff, but Pandora can't help but see Regulus like a sopping wet kitten. Evan is the "official" high warlock of London (again, not sure on location) but they both share the responsibilitys.

Barty is Fae and grew up closed off from most of everything but eventually became close with Evan and Pandora. Barty's family is high up in the court, trusted closely by the Seelie Queen, but he doesn't give a shit. The second that the circle is hinted at returning he jumps at the chance to backstab his father and the court that treats him so poorly.

Dorcas is a vampire and close with Barty since they bonded when she was just a fledgling, one who sticks strongly with the accords. She realizes how bad it would be if the circle were to come back and at first tries to stay out of it before she realizes Barty is a traitor and her coven leader believes that the rules are below them. Which she soon overthrows.

James and Marlene were childhood friends until around age 13 when Marlene kind of disappeared. James' parents wanted to live in a world safe from all the conflict, especially when they found out they were expecting James, so they hid in the mortal world. James doesn't get his memories wiped, it's just more like a Percy Jackson type thing where he tries to bring up the weird stuff he sees, Effie and Monty kind of just gaslight him. They weren't a part of the circle but they were high up in the clave and outwardly against the brutalization of slaughter of innocents. It painted a target on their backs that only worsened overtime and to save their family left.

Lily is a "mundane" and close friends with Marlene and James until Marlene goes missing. Lily is kind of like the Simon equivalent, James and her stay close together, even more so since they never saw Marlene again, and even when James gets dragged into the world Lily sticks by him. Even when she accidentally drinks the wrong thing at a warlock party, ends up as a mouse, and gets turned into a vampire.

at least those were the ideas I had about it

Looking

James has the attention span of a goldfish. 

Actually that’s probably being generous- a goldfish can focus for long enough to eat its food. James on the other hand once ordered and paid for takeaway but only realised late that night that he'd walked home without collecting it. 

It’s become a bit of a running joke in the group- the way that he can recall every second of a mundane day he spent with Sirius four years ago, but gets distracted while he’s cooking to the point where his food is either raw or burned to a crisp. 

The way that he knows every one of his friends’ birthdays, favourite foods, and things they talk about during late nights conversations poured over hot chocolate and marshmallows, but there’s not a chance  in hell he heard what Remus just said about… something. 

No, nothing can seem to hold his focus for more than a few seconds at a time. 

Well, until Regulus. 

Who he never really noticed past the knowledge that he was Sirius’ brother, until one day he did. 

Oh did he notice him. 

And he keeps noticing him. Every single time they’re in a room together he’s drawn to the poised, sharp, refined beauty of Regulus Black. To his piercing grey eyes that only soften when he’s talking to his friends. To his hands that stay still unless he’s particularly invested in a topic of conversation. To his lips that Regulus doesn’t let curl into a smile in front of strangers, but they do so of their own accord when Barty cracks a joke or Pandora gently touches his arm. 

And now when he doesn’t hear Remus’ comment or Peter’s question it isn’t because he isn’t paying attention. 

It’s because his attention is across the hall with the most captivating boy he's ever seen, and there's absolutely no chance of him getting it back.

He's not even going to try.

Prompt 11 - Apparition

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.

Since I'm writing about this rn, it has struck me that Dumbledore is willing to drink the potion in the horcrux cave because he believes that Voldemort wouldn't wish to kill the drinker immediately so as to question them... Dumbledore's usually pretty good at guessing Voldemort's thought processes, but as Harry discovers, this isn't true, because the potion causes thirst which leads the drinker to the lake, and then they're pulled down by inferi and die anyway. I'm wondering, was Dumbledore simply wrong, or is this because Voldemort was arrogant enough to believe that he would immediately be able to tell his horcrux was destroyed and get there in time to question whoever it was before leaving them to die? (in DH he does seem to believe that he would be able to tell.)

This is a pretty big flaw in Voldemort's logic if so, because as Kreacher, Harry, and Dumbledore all demonstrated, I think most people would be more likely to take the horcrux and try to destroy it later. Maybe this isn't too hard to believe because Voldemort also committed the major oversight of not realising that a house-elf or an underaged wizard could also be accompanying the drinker (which is extra stupid since he himself travelled across the lake with a house-elf.) I guess it makes a certain sense because Voldemort, who ultimately works alone, who underestimates everyone he considers inferior, might not have been able to fathom the loyalty, trust and love required for Kreacher and Harry to follow Regulus and Dumbledore into the cave.

It's also interesting that Dumbledore creates a very similar situation to that of Kreacher and Regulus-- he expressly makes Harry swear that he will follow any orders without question, he even tells Harry to leave him behind if needs be, which is what Kreacher does in his case. We know house-elves can disobey/work around some orders if they really want to, and in both cases Kreacher and Harry are ultimately following orders not because they have to but because of loyalty and trust. (I know Kreacher is literally bound to obey, but think about it this way- would he have done as much for Sirius, or would he have found a way around it like he does in OotP?)

Really the foreshadowing (or post-shadowing really haha) for Kreacher's tale is so good. It's hinted at when Dumbledore points out that it's Voldemort's mistake to underestimate the less visibly powerful, and I also really like the way that Harry can picture the scene perfectly as Kreacher narrates it-- because he lived it himself, after all.

Wolfstar Microfic: Euphoria

"What'd you call it? The Mirror of Erised? What's it do?"

"Just try it, tell us what you see."

"I don't understand, why's it showing me Moony when he's all the way over there?"

And then a laugh.

"Why's the Moony in the mirror kissing me??"

Remus' jaw dropped, but he couldn't help the warm and cozy feeling that was growing in his chest.

This was heaven.

This was perfection.

This...was euphoria.

Sorry but I just cannot stop thinking about President of the United States Remus Lupin, considered one of the most popular and handsome bachelor of his time (like why and how is he still single?) Gets a little sweet surprise for his birthday.

All of the US most powerful people are reunited in the event to celebrate President's Lupin birthday. They auditorium is packed to the brim, Prime Minister and best friend of the President James Potter just finished giving a speech about Remus, but he doesn't leave the stage. Instead, he gives that wicked smile of his that only meant mischief.

"Ladies and Gentleman, it is my great honor to present someone who really wants to wish our dear President a happy birthday. For all of you, Sirius Black!"

Enter Sirius Black, one of the most famous actors of his time, a symbol of beauty and sexiness and all things carnal and desirable, covered in a big white fur coat while he delicately walks to the podium.

Everyone is holding their breaths, and most of them end out choking on their breaths when Sirius removes the coat from his body, revealing a beautiful dress that was filled with diamonds, every curve of his body was hugged just right, the definition of desire.

He carefully moves the microphone to his height, dainty fingers covered in delicate gloves, and everyone could hear how he took a small breath before smiling sultrily.

"Happy....birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy birthday, Mr. President" the song felt intimate, way too intimate, but Sirius Black didn't care, and by the enraptured gaze the President had, neither did President Lupin

"Thanks, Mr. President

For all the things you've done"

The song was rather short, it was like it finished in a blink of an eye, but you were not able to forget any moment of it either. The movements, the seductive voice, the garment that made Sirius look like he wore nothing at all.

That night was historical, and everyone knew it.

After that, there was obviously rumors of the relationship between US beloved President and US beloved icon, and if President Lupin had invited Sirius Black to his quarters in the White House after the gala, it was something History would have to question forever.

“I think,” said Marlene carefully, a smile slowly growing on her face. “I think we’re going to be the biggest band in the fucking world.” or  It's the summer of 2005 and MARAUDERS is headlining Warped Tour. Humid, hungover, and ready to start writing their next album, Marlene’s dreams of a semi-relaxing summer evaporate when an unexpected sibling reunion throws a wrench between two of the biggest bands on the tour. Outside of cleaning up the emotional fallout of their band-mates, Marlene and Dorcas forge an unlikely friendship in greenrooms and rest-stops, their bond evading claims of being strictly platonic as they fall for one another in a blur of sound-checks, shows, and sunburn. Between states and cities and behind make-shift stages, the pair traverse the great expanse of America as the clock counts down to the end of summer, and to the cold hard return to reality.

I’m thinking about a jegulily fic (cause I’m a touch obsessed) where James is blind and will purposely forget to bring his cane out with him on days where he’s going out with Regulus and/or Lily so he has an excuse to hold their hands for the entire day.

This is the most James potter thing I’ve ever heard.
