Prompt 6 - First Full Moon

@wolfstarmicrofic January 6, word count 665

Tonight was the night. The night he’d been dreaming of since he found out Remus was a werewolf. He’d spent hours researching how to become an animagus, roping James and Peter in to help. They’d been just as excited as he was to be able to do this for their friend. Remus had been coming back to the castle with more and more injuries since he hit puberty and Sirius wanted to do all that he could to ease Remus’s pain. 

It had taken months to be able to change into an animal at will. He was rather proud of his animal form. An enormous shaggy, black dog. He was sure he looked almost like a werewolf in this form, so he would match Remus perfectly.

They’d gathered in the Shrieking Shack, Remus having told them how to get in. Thank Merlin, that Peter was a small enough animal that he could easily get under the Whomping Willow’s flailing branches to press the knot at the base of its roots and render the damn thing motionless. 

A creak downstairs told them that Remus and Madam Pomfrey had entered the derelict building and that they needed to keep completely silent until they were sure she was gone.

“I’ll see you in the morning, Remus dear,” She said kindly before they heard the sound of the metal bolt on the other side of the door being slid across, the quiet mutterings of her spells to lock Remus in and then nothing.

Remus appeared in the doorway of the bedroom they were hiding in and Sirius raced across the room, slamming into him in his haste for a hug.

“You ready?” He asked once he’d righted himself.

“I think so,” Remus replied, sounding nervous. All of Sirius’s research was based on theory. There was no definite proof that in animal form they’d be safe from the werewolf. Remus had been reluctant, but eventually, he gave in as he usually did where Sirius was concerned. So here they were, waiting for the moon to rise.

It wasn’t long before Remus’s winces and low grunts became more pronounced as the pain of transformation began to overtake him. He fell to the floor on his hands and knees, his back arching as he whimpered. The others took this as their cue to change.

The room was suddenly very full, what with Sirius’s large size and James’s antler span. But all Sirius cared about was his best friend now writhing on the dusty ground, his body twisting and shaking. 

He moved forward, nuzzling his nose against Remus’s side. A clawed hand swung out, barely missing him as he jumped back. Remus let out a low snarl that no human should be able to make and that's when the cracking started as his bones broke and reformed, revealing the beast within. 

Sirius sat back on his haunches as he watched his dear friends be completely destroyed, slowly turning into the animal he’d hated since he was five years old.

With a final roar, Remus was gone and in his place towered the wolf. His silver-grey fur glinted in the patches of moonlight creeping in through slits in the boarded-up windows. Sirius stared at him through his canine eyes and realised that he looked nothing like this majestic beast. He would have been jealous if his canine brain allowed such emotions. 

Remus moved nearer to him, sniffing the surrounding air. This was it. The moment of truth. In the next thirty seconds, they’d find out if Sirius’s theory was correct or if they were about to be torn to shreds.

Remus’s wet wolf nose touched Sirius’s wet dog nose, and he knew right there that they would be fine. He barked happily at the wolf, jumping around him playfully, nipping at his legs, enticing him to play.

The next morning, for the first time in ten years, Remus woke up without a single cut, scratch or bruise, much to the amazement of Madam Pomfrey.

Mother, im sitting here at 4am, eating mini easter eggs and ive had tge most brilliant idea!! (Inspired by @inkdrinkerworld 's fic)

Okay so, poly!moonwater and readers been having trouble sleeping due to tensions/problems with her pureblood family. As a result shes been taking more naps, but they arent restful. So reader were napping in Rems bed (the dungeons were too cold) but after a fitful 30 minutes she gets up groggy, sleep deprived and beyond frustrated. She stumbles her way down to the common room, pin point Sirius lounging across the couch and promptly throws herself down to cuddle with him and continue her nap. Everyone (minus Siri) is shook. Jamie even asks if she got the wrong person because Reggie was sitting over there (in which he got a one eyed death glare before she burrowed into Siris chest and passed out).

Now, what everybody else didnt know was that Siri had more or less adopted reader as his own (she remined him so much of Reggie, being her big brother was 2nd nature). And while Barty was her person, he was a little too crazy to be comforting in this situation ("y/n, i'll get rid of them for you. Its not hard to do so" "Barty, no."). And of course Siri nows how bad their kind of familys are so he'd been taking care of reader on the down low as an older brother would.

Bonus if Reggie then decides that looks warm and fuzzy and wants Siri cuddles too so he joins ( it took him so long to get to a point where he could let himself be vunerable enough to openly allow Siri to take care of him 😭)

aweeee poor reader. this ended up being way more serious than I thought it would be? like it's not funny at all, there's no humour (which feels odd to me, usually I can throw some jokes or banter in there) but plenty of hurt comfort???.......idk, I can't tell if this is any good, it feels very different from my usual pieces

poly!moonwater x fem!reader whose family sucks (but it's very Sirius-centric)

CW: mentions of insomnia, mentions of abusive families, making fun of only children (sorry), hurt/comfort

You were miserable to say the least; you couldn’t remember when the last time you had a restful sleep was, and nothing you did seemed to help.

The closer it got to the Winter Holidays, the more your mind seemed to spiral. Every time you began to relax, your heart pounded as if you’d accidentally leaned too far back in your chair, reminding you of your upcoming visit home. Every time you closed your eyes, you were bombarded with images of angry faces and violent curses being shot at you.

The Slytherin dungeons were too cold, and every time you found your way into Regulus’ dorm, Barty insisted on butting in, and though you appreciated his support, you couldn’t handle his threats promises to burn down your home with your parents in it. 

Remus and Regulus both suggested you perhaps talk to Madame Pomfrey about getting some dreamless sleep or sleeping draught, but you were too embarrassed to admit to your two overprotective boyfriends that you’ve used them so frequently during your life for this very reason that they had lost all efficacy. 

It had gotten to the point that you managed to get the most sleep in the library bent over the table with your face on your book whilst Remus and Regulus did their work (and sometimes yours), and that honestly left you feeling more painfully tired than you had been before your nap.

So, you were nearly falling asleep at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall over your chicken and roast potatoes when Remus gently nudged you and suggested you go lie down for a bit and you wanted to weep into your potatoes which was only slightly less embarrassing than sleeping in them, causing him and Regulus to bring you up to Gryffindor tower.

You’d kicked them both out of the Marauders’ dorm room after some time – Remus for snoring and Regulus because the sound of him turning the pages of his book was distracting you. He promised to stop reading, but then he breathed too loudly and you started crying.

You were overtired, emotional, and running on fumes.

You’d counted puffskeins, you’d had a warm glass of milk, you’d taken off articles of clothing and reconfigured your outfit numerous times (which was currently Remus’ jumper and no pants), and you’d tried every position imaginable to no avail. 

You think you might have perhaps gotten five minutes of sleep before you woke up with a start, a barely repressed scream grating through your teeth.

Feeling disturbingly weepy and no less groggy from your horrid sleep, you pulled on a pair of your sweatpants and grabbed the throw blanket from the end Remus’ bed before trudging down the stairs to the common room.

“You should have seen the look on Filch’s face- oh! Hi Y/N!” James called as you made your way over to the three-seater and stood over the black-haired boy currently occupying it.

“Oh, Trouble.” He cooed sympathetically at you before kicking his feet out, laying back, and opening his arms for you to join him. You quickly climbed on top of him, and he tucked you in between the back of the sofa and his side, bending your knee so that your thigh rested on top of his, and pulled the blanket over the two of you.

You let out a shaky sigh and felt the first few tears fall from your eyes and onto Sirius’ chest.

“Uhm...” James said loudly, looking over to both Regulus and Remus cuddled in a large plush chair from his place on the loveseat with Lily like ‘are you seeing this right now?’. “I think you’ve got the wrong wizard there, L/N.” He said with a nervous laugh.

“No, she’s quite alright.” Sirius gritted back at him, looking far more severe than James thought the situation called for as he rubbed his hand consolingly up and down your arm. 

James looked to your boyfriends, his face clearly asking all the questions that his mouth wasn’t.

“He helps, sometimes.” Regulus admitted, not looking particularly happy that you chose his brother over him, but not nearly as murderous as James figured he might look if he’d found Lily snuggled up like that with some other bloke. And it appeared as though the look of heartbreak on Remus’ face was caused more by your current sorry state and less about your current cuddle partner.

“But...your brother?” James asked, still befuddled over this development. “Doesn’t she usually go to Junior for things like this?”

Sirius scoffed. “Junior’s solution to almost anything is fire or murder.”

“Or both.” You whimpered quietly, causing Sirius to tighten his arm around you and bring his other hand up to continue stroking your arm.

“Besides, Barty’s an only child.” Regulus said flippantly.

“What’s that got to do with it?” James asked, slightly offended at the insinuation that anything may be wrong with him on account of his only child-ness. 

Regulus’ irritable demeanor over Sirius usurping you was quickly replaced by a cocky smirk at getting under James’ skin.

“Let me ask you this, Potter: last summer when Lily returned your letters unopened and called you an arrogant toerag after saying she’d rather date the giant squid, whose arms did you cry into?”

“He didn’t cry.” Lily laughed at the same time as James answered “Sirius’” without any hesitation.

“What?” Lily asked, looking slightly horrified that she may have actually hurt James’ feelings.

“Oh, all the time, every time, actually.” James said readily. 

“He got snot on so many of my favourite band-tee’s, Red. As a matter of fact, I expect retribution.” Sirius commented.

“And why do you think you cried into Sirius’ arms?” Regulus continued.

“Well...because he’s my best mate.” James said simply.

“You may think��that’s the reason, but you’re wrong. It’s because Sirius is an older brother.”

James scoffed at that. “Please, that has nothing to do with it!”

“Have you ever cried in Remus’ arms?”

“No, but-”

“Pettigrew’s?”

James grimaced but answered honestly. “No.”

“No. Because they’re not older brothers.” Regulus said definitively.

“That actually makes sense...” Lily mused aloud. 

“You say that like you’re surprised, Evans. I know you’re not used to good idea’s coming out of men’s mouths, but I do assure you it happens more frequently than you might imagine.” Regulus taunted, earning him a pillow being hurled at his head. 

Much to James’ chagrin, his seeker reflexes caught the pillow before it made impact with his face. 

“Tosser.” James grumbled. 

“Would you guys shut up.” Sirius whispered, causing everyone to look over at you. 

Regulus couldn’t even find it in him to be miffed when he saw you sleeping what looked to be quite peacefully in Sirius’ arms. Your eyes were slightly swollen from your tears, and he could see the tracks they had left on your cheeks and over the bridge of your nose, but you looked so content. 

“So... all big brothers know how to do that?” James asked incredulously.

“I doubt it.” Sirius commented quietly.

“Only ones who know what it’s like to live in a Pureblood hellscape and needed to share his bed with his younger brother who was too scared to sleep on his own for years.” Regulus added quietly, staring unseeingly towards you and Sirius. Remus pulled Regulus tighter into his side and began rubbing his arm consolingly.

Suddenly, things started to make a little more sense to James. 

“I’ll write to mum.” James stated, causing both brothers, Lily, and Remus to look at him bemusedly.

“About what?” Remus asked finally.

“Y/N staying with us.” James said simply.

Regulus opened his mouth ready to argue; to argue that James didn’t have to and that he already took in both Sirius and Regulus. James didn’t owe Regulus anything. 

But Sirius spoke first.

“She should be with her big brother, Reggie.” Sirius said, shooting him an encouraging smile and wink.

And seeing how your breathing had fallen even with your mouth slightly ajar as you clutched to the fabric of Sirius’ jumper like it was a lifeline, who was Regulus to argue?

[lexithwrites]

can you write professors remus and sirius fucking when they’re older and being scared of being caught pls <3

nsfw aheadddddd (once again a muggle au because i cant write hogwarts lmao) also i didnt proof read this so sorry if its got mistakes lmaooo

Remus just managed to stop himself from knocking his mug of tea off the desk when Sirius thrust again, and instead gripped his boyfriends shoulder in attempt to ground himself; or at the very least get stabilised. He was already close, he had been since Sirius had sauntered into his office and locked the door, that cocky grin on his face that always had Remus blushing. He just had that kind of affect on him, he had since they first started dating as teenagers. Maybe it was embarrassing, but Remus couldn't care less with Sirius so deep inside him he felt it in his stomach.

"You gonna cum already, Moons?" Sirius purred into his ear, fingers grabbing at his hips to keep him place. Remus' legs had been wrapped around Sirius a minute ago, but the asshole insisted he keep them nice and wide for easy access, and who was Remus to say no to that hypnotic voice? His trousers, that he had ironed that morning for fuck sake, were now hanging off his left ankle, and his tie was undone and bouncing around his chest and shoulders as he was fucked into the oak wood of his desk, every thrust causing Remus to gasp and whimper into Sirius' neck.

"C-Can't help it." He mumbled, nails dragging across Sirius' shoulders at a particularly slow roll of his hips. "Oh god—"

"Sshh, someone might hear you." Sirius teased him in a sing-song voice, briefly glancing over to the door and seeing shadows walk past it. He felt a little on edge at the idea of getting caught, but he locked the door for a reason. "You don't want our coworkers to hear you getting fucked, do you?"

"N-No."

"You don't want them to hear how much of a slut you are? On the job? God, maybe they'd be jealous of you." He smirked and nipped Remus' ear when he felt Remus clench around him. "Jealous?"

"Shut up and keep going." Remus grunted, pulling Sirius' closer as he started moaning a little more desperately in his ear. "Please, Sirius, I need to cum please—"

"I know, love." Sirius was close too, sweating a little at how hard he had been going earlier. Bending Remus Lupin over his desk and holding him down as he pounded him had been fun, but being close to him like this was what really got him riled up. He liked hearing Remus' breathing against his skin, feeling him dig his nails into his back and rock his hips against his own. He liked feeling Remus fuck him back, god he loved it. "Let me cum in you?"

"Since when do you ask nicely?" Remus scoffed a little, leaning back to look into Sirius' eyes and push his matted, sweaty hair away from his forehead. Sirius could devour him right now, he was so gorgeous it hurt him. He bucked his hips and Remus gasped, feeling Sirius cover his mouth to quickly catch the cry of pleasure.

"Since you've got a meeting later, and I don't want to assume you want my cum dripping out of you during it." Remus' eyes almost rolled back into his head, lashes fluttering at the thought. "God, you're hot." Sirius moaned and kissed him hard, licking into his mouth and starting that brutal pace up again. "Cum for me, Moons. It'll make me cum, it always does."

Remus didn't last long after that, and later in his meeting he was asked if he needed anything since he was wincing a little in his seat. He blushed, saying his back was aching, and tried not to look anyone in the eye. Dammit.

[cazzythefrogking]

i think remus would forgive sirius pretty soon after the prank. He'd want to leave so bad but... he just needed them. Sirius was the one that was always there. Sirius was the one that made him happiest. And he told himself, it was just a mistake. Sirius made a mistake, and everyone does sometimes, right? So he forgave them. He hated them, but he forgave them. The hurt would go away eventually, right? So he let himself love sirius again.

And months went by, and he was still hurting. But the wound was still fresh, right? He needed to give it time. A few more months. Or a few more years.

But he still hurt and hurt and hurt. He couldnt stop hurting. He couldn't forget. But he stayed. Because Sirius stayed with him, even if remus hurt him. He had to return the favor, right?

And they stayed together. And they planned a future together. But remus didnt know if he even wanted it. But Sirius was trying to be better, to be less hurtful, to be less reckless. He was trying. It was just a mistake, right? He's sorry, right?

And after all, who else could want him? No one had before. Sirius was his only chance at a happy ending. He was his only hope

And so he stayed

It was too late to leave

And he didnt want to be alone

[tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors]

the new jo lore also really recontextualizes her saying that she didnt think janus not wanting it would matter to remus. like its not really a condemnation of remus himself, but just that jo has only ever been with a man that she had to almost blind at one point to get him to stop hurting her. which like projecting is still bad and it still hurt remus, but yk

radfem brainrot is a helluva drug

[foursaints]

I NEEEEEEEDDDD your Regulus Black hcs. What is he like in your head??? Is he a perfectionist???? Is he downright insane?????? Which Sturniolo brother is he????? I need details on EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

omg to start im not really a Regulus Blogger... i love him ofc but hes usually only in the background to my rosekiller. and i love all the regulus characterizations i read (more than my own sometimes tbh)

my controversial take is that my reggie is tall 😔..... he's small growing up but now he's the same height as James. who has a sort of furious, lustful conniption every time he wants to make a snide comment and remembers that The Baby Black is now a perfectly grown 20-something with unimpressed eyes and the world's unfairest aristocratic jawline

he and sirius both have that ethereal, feylike house-black thing going on, except sirius is prettier and more striking and softer and more girlish. like snow white. regulus looks every part the conventional pureblood heir: dark and austerely handsome and fine-boned and patrician. the thickest eyelashes.

undisputed leader of his friend group but not on purpose. reggie sees himself as this unappealing boring loser (the opposite of sirius) but he just has this? ineffable main-character thrall? once he's in your life you just want to die for him

he didnt mean to have the skittles but reggie can't help collecting outcasts & freaks like hes putting easter eggs in a basket. they really love each other but sometimes i see the slytherins as being a far more exaggerated version of the marauders perceived "roles": regulus as james (undisputed leader), barty as sirius (sexy ride-or-die), rosier twins as remus & peter ("nerds" 1 & 2)

very very tender and sensitive. perhaps more so than sirius

my reg is fastidious and organized and ALLEGEDLY an insane compulsive control freak like evan rosier. he has repressed every emotion he's felt for the last two decades under a cooly unbothered facade. except the difference is evan never slips up and regulus is having hysterical meltdowns into $5 chili's bottomless margaritas at least a couple times a month.

like he's eating a pint of ice cream alone in his car scream-sobbing to Since U Been Gone after he broke up with barty for the 800th time. #evanwouldnever

much love and respect to grumpy emo regulus but that is not my reggie... my reg is an posh antisocial City Gay drinking an extra dry martini at a gallery opening on the upper east side and scowling. wearing a fuzzy cream sweater and $800 loafers with no socks. his back hurts and he wants to go home

i fully believe he could survive being dropped in the alaskan wilderness with 0 supplies he just seems like he'd do whatever it takes to Survive etc. just like crafting a spear with the most "it is what it is" look in his eyes. wouldn't even faze him.

my modern au regulus works running one of those little stuffed animal hospitals repairing teddy bears and thats really important to me, personally,

[tea-blankets-andstars]

I literally love Eclipse (james x remus) sm

their relationship is so special, James love language is phyical touch while Remus is words so you can always see them next to eachother whispering sweet things

they are also both lovesick idiots, they will push eachother against walls of the castle like no one is watching

who wants some angst??(tw read with caution)

james is not ok, okay? he dosent know why, but hes not; maybe its the fact that everyone expects him to be someone that he's not or maybe its the pressure of being "golden boy james potter". maybe his mind just hates him. Whatever it is he hates feeling that way, the blade taunts him. The need to skip meals so he can stay fit. The breakdowns late at night so no one can hear him. He just feels auful all the time, but hes glad no one knows.

Remus knows. He can smell the blood, its coppery smell stronger on bad days. He can hear james cry late at night when he thinks he's alone. Most of all he can see whats going on even if the others can't, he can see how James distances himself for people and how he avoids meals, he can see the fatigue in his face when he smiles. It makes Remus feel awful, his best friend is in pain and he can't do anything. 

One night its all too much for James, he just cant do it anymore. He dosent want to live, and he's sorry. So he makes his way up the the astronomy tower, blood dripping down his fingers from the fresh cuts, he is hidden under the invisibility cloak so no one can find him. He planned everything- of course its not James without a plan- he left a stack of letters on top of his bed for the Marauders and two more in his chest for his mother & father. He leans over the railing of the tower to make sure that this fall will be fatle, it will.

Of course Remus followed him, the smell of blood was stronger then it ever was and James had left the map. He willed his legs to climb all the way up to the astronomy tower and what he saw was so horrible he could have cried right then. James was quietly sobbing standing on the railing of the tower, his entire hands were dripping with fresh blood. He looked like someone had stomped out his spark and now he was waiting for the final gust of wind to finish him off. Remus quietly climbed up on the railing next to James and intertwined their hands.

"James can you hear me?" he asked

that comment brought the shorter boy back down to earth and a look of panic crossed his face.

"If you jump in jumping too James"

"No, please no" he was pleading for Remus to leave him here and let him jump, Remus was not going to let that happen.

"Jamie please, i know your life feels awful and you feel hopeless but you have so much to live for, you hear me? So. Much."

"No"

The way his voice trembled made Remus want to buy a gun and kill anyone who has ever hurt the smaller boy, but he refrained- for now at least.

Remus couldn't let him jump, so he did the only other thing he could think of, he reached out and pulled James against himself into a hug, hoping to transfer every happy memory into the other boy.

Upon the contact James went limp and a sob shook his whole body, he allowed Remus scoop him up and jump off from the ledge and onto the stone floor. He let the taller boy pull him to the floor and he sobbed in Remus' lap like a baby. Remus didnt try to leave or call him pathetic, he stayed where he was, carding fingers through James' curls and whispering reassuring words into his ear. 

Remus dosent know when they both fell asleep, but it couldnt have been for more then a couple hours as the early sighs of dawn were just emerging. James was still asleep so Remus carried him down the thousands of steps until he reached their room. He put James into his bed and pulled up the duvet then turned around to go back to his own bed.

"Rem?" The soft whisper of James voice asked theough the curtains, "stay." James bloody arm -which remined remus to clean the cuts later- reached through the split in the curtains, flailing his wrist to find remus.

"im here fy haul." (my sun in welsh)

Remus crawled under the covers and immediately James wrapped his arms around the boys waist and cuddled in close.

"Thank you." Was the last thing James said before they both fell asleep. 

[carbonated-olive-juice]

tma!sanders sides au bc i’ve been brainrotting over this for the past several days

(@wobblystrawberry helped a lot with this [hiiii])

Remus:

- The Corruption

- the bastard that made me start this whole thing (wanted to make The Stinky Trash Bastard Man, Stinky Trash Bastard Man Squared and it sorta just went from there)

- known as The Duke of The Crawling Rot

- raided the magnus institute with Jane Prentiss (where he meets Logan, they probably start dating sometime in the AU) (both Remus and Prentiss wore raggedy red dresses and Roman got pissy about Remus stealing his color)

- dating Janus and living with him + Annabelle Cane (more on her later)

Roman:

- The Desolation

- known as The Prince of Total Desolation/The Prince of Devastation

- was The Lightless Flame’s attempt to salvage the idea of having a Messiah and all the work that was put into that (a failed attempt at that)

- a lot of “he hurts everyone close to him because of the intensity of his love for them (“also he can’t touch anyone without burning them alive)” going on with him

- him and Jude Perry are lesbian/gay hostility (also Jude pretty much HATES Roman because he’s quite literally the “replacement” for the woman she loved) but sometimes have their moments of coexistence

- him and Virgil have something going on but it isn’t clear to anyone (including me) what exactly it is

speaking of…

Virgil:

- The Dark

- it was close between The Dark and The End but ultimately I went for The Dark

- ascended to Avatar-hood earliest out of everyone else (at like something between 14-17 idk)

- much more on the human-ish end of the spectrum (main thing is his eyes, i’ll drop the design soon i promise)

- Janus (who’ll i get to next) was like a mentor/older sibling figure for him, and tried to get him to become an avatar of The Web (is still trying to do so) which is why 1) Virgil is still closely tied to spiders, and 2) mostly why Virgil Does Not Like Janus

- Virgil still has a pet tarantula that Janus had given him, he’s tried to muster up the will to kill her or get rid of her more times than he can count now, to cut off his ties with The Web, but he just can’t bring himself to do it

- him and gerry (who i’ve decided doesn’t die in this au and instead becomes a fully realized Beholding Avatar) are close friends and most of their interactions go something like:

“You fell in love with the fucking personification of insanity and lies" "big talk for a guy with a crush on the biggest bitch of a fancy dumpster fire" "fuck you" "fuck you" "so you're trying to tell me you didn't name yourself after gerard way?" "i didnt" "bullshit, i bet you heard 'mama' and immediately took his name" (gerry’s trans in this, i make the rules)

- Virgil used to be friends with Julia Montauk before someone got jealous and tipped her off that Virgil’s an avatar (they get less toxic later i promise okay?)

- also he’s sorta friends with oliver banks, they have these “oh hey, it’s you” acquaintances and sometimes sit down to catch up like:

“how’s it going with your vast boyfriend? (mike crew)” “oh yeah a Hunter cop shot him he had to pretend to be dead while Buried for a bit but he’s doing better now, tea?” “how’s your bf in the red?” “my what.” “y’know the Lightless Flame’s Messiah 2.0?” “MOTHERFUCKING ROMAN??”

Janus:

- The Web

- okay yes The Spiral is literally the fear of deception, and yes Janus is literally called “Deceit” but this fits him better imo

- he/she Janus because fuck it

- as i said, tried to get Virgil to become a Web Avatar, still trying, how well this is working out for her is up for debate

- he is pulling all the strings possible to keep Virgil far away from The People’s Church of The Divine Host as possible (whether this is out of genuine care and fear for how being in a literal cult would affect Virgil’s wellbeing or a want to keep Virgil’s connection to The Dark as possible… that’s also up for debate)

- has severe scarring on the entire right side of her face, how did that happen? basically, Mary Keay wanted to test to make sure the Leitner skin book was real, so she hired janus (who also brought Virgil, and that’s how gerry and Virgil met) to help with that, long story short, she then backstabbed him and tried to skin him alive. janus got away but let’s just say she’s pretty damn lucky Virgil was there to get him to a hospital

- dating Remus (and eventually Logan) and lives with Remus + Annabelle Cane

- Speaking of Annabelle Cane, one day while Remus and Janus were just cuddling on the couch, Annabelle just walked in, said “We’re a colony now”, and set up in the spare bedroom s5 style and Janus + Remus were just like “oh-kay?” and went on with their day

- if you’ve ever seen that one “passive aggressive roommate” song on youtube, that’s Janus and Annabelle. both are the passive aggressive roommate.

- spider limbs from his back as well as the several hands thing because why the hell not, it works

Patton:

- The Eye

- mainly the being judged/having your secrets exposed aspects (because in sander sides he is literally the judge over thomas’ morality, his job is to watch over thomas’ actions and tell him whether or not he’s a good person)

- certain people make eye contact with with him and Know that he Knows all the bad things they’ve done, and feel the compulsion to spill their guts, once they start, they cannot stop no matter how hard they try

- after the fact, his victims find a teddy bear sitting on their bed that always seems to be Watching them no matter where they go

- works at The Magnus Institute, where he meets Logan, who, during his transition to becoming an avatar, was one of his biggest supports, since he was going through the same thing, they start dating after a while, and by the time of the Prentiss + Remus attack, they’re engaged (they both fully ascend only a few months after their wedding)

- [insert patton having a moral crisis because he doesn’t want to be a monster that feeds off of people’s fear but he has to and part of him likes it wow this is reminding me of a certain other Beholding Avatar]

- idk how it happens but he still becomes a father figure for Virgil somehow, i’ll figure out specifics eventually

Logan:

- The Vast

- while i absolutely love Beholding!Logan hear me out. the fear of insignificance works so well here.

- he started working at The Magnus Institute a year or two before Patton (and five or six years before the Prentiss + Remus attack)

- i cannot overstate how everyone in the au thinks he’s Beholding: Jon thinks he’s Beholding, Gertrude thought he was Beholding, Gerry, who canonically has an ability to tell if people are marked by an avatar and who, for the purposes of this au is an avatar of The Eye, thinks he’s Beholding, motherfucking Elias/Jonah thinks he’s Beholding, Virgil, Janus, Annabelle, everyone thinks he’s Beholding EXCEPT Remus, who just knows for some reason (at one point when Patton and Logan got engaged Remus was like “damn patton you’re so committed to the eye, wouldn’t have figured you’d marry a vast avatar.” “a what”)

- to be fair, he was like 0.5 seconds away from becoming an Eye Avatar then BOOM BITCH VAST JUMPSCARE (The Eye is immensely bitter) and is partially Eye-aligned

- when Patton and Logan started dating, Logan just kinda assumed that Patton knew he was a Vast avatar

- after Patton learns, the convo goes something like “but- you work with the institute? how are you an avatar of the vast?” “i still need to eat, patton, and rent in central london is not cheap.”“huh.”

- Logan has a tie that Patton got him after learning he was a Vast avatar, the tie has a blue sky that fades into a deeper blue at the top, has some clouds and birds scattered around, and has a colorful sunset at the bottom, he wore that to their wedding and every day after

- there is healthy communication between all parties when Logan starts dating Remus and Janus as well

- probably levitates elias/jonah over the edge of a building for threatening/traumatizing Patton at some point, Elias had no clue that Logan was a Vast avatar until that moment (self-made blind spot, like the one he had around Martin being a threat)

- Jon and Logan would be friends. they just would.

- Logan’s probably the one who convinces Virgil to go to therapy

that’s most of what i have right now, i will probably continue to talk about these bastards + post the designs

Movie Night Abandonment

Pairing: Janus x Remus, platonic moxiety implied Genre: Hurt/Comfort Tags/Warnings: selfharm (cutting), kissing, toxic creativitwins, Janus needs a hug and gets one Summary: Janus feels sad over not being invited to the weekly movie night, Remus fixes it.

Janus closed his bedroom door after stepping inside and sighed, frustrated. The others had a movie night, and didnt invite him? They invited Remus! But not him? Why was he even surprised. Of course they didnt invite him. He was Deceit. He was the lord of lies. No wonder they didnt invite him. He still wasn't welcome. Go figure.

He removed his hat, set it on his dresser amongst piles of books, and strode over to his bed. He flopped down onto it and let out another sigh. “Do they really not care about me?” Janus muttered aloud to himself. He scoffed to himself “Of course they don't…” He wanted to be mad, he really did but he couldn't ignore the stinging pain in his heart. He sat up and looked down at his covered arms, humming quietly. He knew he shouldn't, he made a promise to Remus, But just a few couldn't hurt, right? Janus swung his legs over the side of his bed and stood, walking into the bathroom connected to his room.

He rolled up his sleeves as he walked and opened the cabinet above the sink, grabbing his blood-stained razor. He closed and locked the door and put the toilet lid down, sitting on top of it. He took a breath and put the razor to his wrist, which was already littered with scars, and pressed down, swiping it across his arm. He reached over to grab a tissue and place it on his thigh to catch any fallen drops of blood. He looked down at his arm and smiled at the blood flowing out of the wound.

He made a few cuts alongside the first and patted it dry with a tissue, tossing it into the trash after. Now feeling much better, Janus stood and grabbed bandages, wrapping his arm. He rolled his sleeves back down and put his razor back in its hiding place. He sighed as he closed the cabinet before letting out a yelp at the sudden knocking on his bedroom door. “Deedee? I wanna hang out! Oh, we can dissect something and paint with its blood!” Remus giggled as he knocked on the door again “Cmoooon!!” Janus unlocked the bathroom door and walked out, opening his bedroom door. Remus grinned and quickly grabbed Janus’ arm to tug him along, said side cursing under his breath at the pain and discomfort.

Remus cocked his head like a confused puppy and looked at his arm. “Did you get hurt, Jan?” Before Remus could lift his sleeve, Janus pulled his arm away from him “No im fine.” He winced at Remus’ hurt expression as he realized. “DeeDee…Did you cut?” He took a step closer and gently took Janus’ hands in his own, squeezing them. Janus wanted to lie but he knew Remus wouldn't believe him if he tried, so he sighed and nodded, looking down. Remus frowned and pulled Janus into a hug. “Can you tell me why, baby?” Contrary to popular belief, Remus could actually be serious when he wanted to. Janus wrapped his arms around Remus tightly.

“It's stupid but…I was upset that the others didnt invite me to the movie night.” Janus admitted, feeling ashamed that he hurt himself over something so silly. Remus furrowed his brow and looked at Janus “Roman said you didnt wanna come.” Janus looked up at him with an angry expression “He never asked me.” Now it was Remus’ turn to be upset. He did want to beat Roman's ass, but he knew he couldn't leave his snake without comfort. He took a deep breath to calm himself down before pressing a kiss to Janus’ forehead. “I'll talk to him later, right now my double dee needs cuddles.” Before Janus could protest his pet name, he was being picked up and tossed onto his bed with a giggle from both him and Remus. They both knew “talking” actually meant possible violence. Remus joined him on the bed and gathered Janus up in his arms, showering his face in wet kisses. Janus let out quiet giggles and tried to cover his face to no avail. He tried to ignore the feeling of how stupid he was to have cut instead of having gone to Remus, who was making him feel much better already.

---------------------------------------------------------

Remus barged into his brother's room holding his morning star “Alright bitch wanna tell me why you left Janus out of movie night?” Roman looked over at him, currently painting his nails. “Remus, I did no such thing, he said he didnt wanna come.” Remus took a deep breath to calm down and leaned on the doorframe “You never even asked him, so before you can try to lie some more despite how much you berate Janus for lying, im gonna cut to the chase. We’re going to have another movie night today, and Janus is joining.” He said it in a way that left no room for argument, causing Roman to sigh.

“Fine, he can come.” “And we’re watching scooby doo.” “What, why?” “It's Janus’ favorite movie.” Roman huffed and waved Remus away “Fine fine now let me finish painting my nails.” Remus smiled and rested his morning star on his shoulder “Perfect!” He turned to leave but paused to say one more thing “And dear brother of mine, if this happens again, I won't be so nice.” Before he could listen to Roman's response, he closed the door behind him.

---------------------------------------------------------

Janus stood in front of his mirror in his scooby-doo onesie, nervous about being seen by the others in it. Remus walked over to him and rested his hands on Janus’ hips “You look great, Snack Mamba” Janus rolled his multicolored eyes and turned around, looking up at Remus “Are you sure im welcome?” Remus pulled Janus close to him and cupped his cheek. Softness from Remus was something only reserved for Janus. “Im sure” Janus took a deep breath and nodded, turning his head to kiss Remus’ hand. “Can you actually wear clothes this time?” Remus groaned “But wheres the fun in that!” Janus sighed “You can wear the gore onesie” Remus’ eyes lit up “Yes!” He giggled as he fist-bumped the air

---------------------------------------------------------

Janus took a deep breath and walked into the light sides living room in his onesie, ignoring Roman's snort and the following smack from Remus. Janus sat next to Remus who proceeded to pull him into his lap, the snake squeaking quietly before settling. He leaned back into Remus’ chest, smiling softly as the movie started. Roman was already talking about the quality, Patton was clinging to Virgil whenever something scary happened, Logan periodically commented on how it's stupid that Scooby can talk, Remus kept saying what monsters he would wanna fuck, and Janus, Janus was happy in Remus’ arms.

The thoughts about their experiences with family and grief hurt on many levels. R sees that s has parents who are rich and still alive and probably feels a bit jealious and cant understand how s seems to resent it. S is self aware enough to know that outwards his family seems ideal and struggles with how he could let people know how things actually are (maybe even afraid that they wont believe him). As seen in OAO he feels that he takes up too much space and r's mom has just died so he feels guilty ab burdening him with this and r will later feel guilty ab his anger/not understanding the situation. I am shaking. I want to hug them both. (Also yes, I believe that s really craved even a smallest hint that his parents cared. He couldnt live with them but leaving didnt really make it easier bc he understood that he lost all hope of having his birth parents love.)

yes yes yes !!!! absolutely!

the difference in class and privilege absolutely factored into it as well (as mentioned in oao, remus was one of the only kids at that school not from an affluent background, and it was definitely alienating for him, especially as two of his best friends grew up amongst immeasurable wealth (i picture peter's family to be more upper middle class than upper class like s and j, but it's still different to remus's background). definitely every now and again sirius would say really out of pocket things relating to how his parents treated him, but i think once he noticed his friends reactions, he'd also immediately backtrack and try to play it off as a joke. so for the others it was tricky to get a handle of the severity of the situation, and what was true and what wasn't. i think early on, some of the other boys (i'm thinking frank etc) would have made little jokes about sirius and his rich boy problems (ie: i imagine sirius would always be sad on his birthday—he'd receive these expensive presents, but they were never be meant FOR him; they were status symbols. and they just served as a reminder that his parents don't see him for who he is, and they don't love him for who he is -> cue meltdown. and i imagine remus would be looking in on this kinda like ??? perhaps internally thinking that sirius is being a little bit ungrateful (again, gift giving has a totally different meaning in remus's family). he'd NEVER say that out loud (well. aside from their big blow out argument), but in his head he'd be like.... rich boys.......) (while also being like :-(( my poor pretty padfoot :-(( and fantasising about kissing the tears from sirius's cheeks xx (all this conflict chat makes me want 2 reiterate !! remus ADORES him. like so SO much. this whole situation was such a change from their usual dynamic, it really threw everyone for a loop))

and YES and as you say: sirius's mouth works faster than his mind a lot of the time, and he would make comments maybe about wishing his parents harm, and it absolutely sent remus reeling. their main fight occurred over something incredibly minor (it was months and months of emotional build-up on both ends), but each of these little comments were a blow to remus </3 and of course sirius was never ever trying to cause harm. he had no real way of knowing what was happening with hope, because from the outside it just looked like something had happened to remus, who was now suddenly super reserved with himself and his body and seemed to be totally caught up in self-loathing. and i think sirius resonated a lot with that (even if he was expressing it all in a completely different way).

but yes... the idea that s takes up too much space. it's sort of all he's ever known. he was never taught how to emotionally regulate himself; he was always just punished. and that link between his emotions and punishment is so embedded in his psyche that even if his birth parents aren't around anymore to punish him for his emotions, he does it himself.

SOBS poor poor babs :-((((

[breakmyheartwolfstar]

Sirius closed the door to his apartment and had never felt emptier. He thought going for a walk might have helped clear his head but he ended up feeling worse. He leaned against the door inside and closed his eyes, playing the words over and over in his head, just like he had every day for the last month.

“I can’t do this anymore.”

He rubbed his eyes and took his shoes off and wandered into the kitchen to make some tea when something shiny caught his eye in the bowl on the kitchen table. He walked over and picked it up. It was a key he was going to give Remus on their anniversary in December to ask him to move into his place. He stood there and stared at the ceiling while his eyes filled with tears. He started sobbing and slid to the floor against the counter. Sirius was heartbroken and angry. He thought of the whispered promises they made to each other and wondered if Remus had ever meant them. Now logically speaking, Sirius thought that he did maybe mean them at one point but it didn’t erase the hurt he was feeling or the fact that he didnt know what changed or happened. He put his heads in his hands as the tears streamed down his face. He felt like he was dying on the inside and didn’t know how to make the ache stop.

“I can’t breathe without you, but I have to…” - Breathe by Taylor Swift

Remus stared out the window of his apartment. He was tired and confused and heartbroken. He thought of the last month and how miserable he had been, the dull ache in his chest prominent every day. He rested his head against the window and closed his eyes and thought of Sirius’ face when he said those words.

“I can’t do this anymore.”

How Sirius’ face had crumbled and how Remus had turned and walked out of his life. It had been a month and Remus still didnt know why he did it. Sirius loved him and cared about him unconditionally, something he hadn’t known before meeting Sirius. He thought Sirius would get bored with him one day and leave. So Remus did what he did best, he ran. He thought by leaving willingly he would save both of them the hurt and pain. Only it ended up hurting himself more and unwillingly breaking the heart of the person he loved. He missed him with every fiber in his being and knew he owed Sirius an explanation. He was embarrassed and scared though, what if Sirius didn’t want to talk to him? He rubbed his hand absently over his chest and knew that he needed to try, even if the future was unknown.

Calmwrimo: Day 17 - 7324

So i rage wrote yesterday and got so much wirtten Admitedly its a new fic but never mind....

So, in honour of how shit the Uk school system is for Neurodivergent children, we have Remus Luipin being an amazing tutor and a staunch supporter of his students rights. As he should be. It just called "Tutor Remus" atm lol.

Remus had once again been dragged to the club by his friends. Not that he was happy about it, unlike them he had work in the morning. He stood at the bar, cane held tightly in his hand wondering how quickly he could disappear without seeming rude.  If anyone made any comments about him or his scars, he was walking out and leaving Peter, Marlene and Dorcas to it. He sighed into his whiskey at his maudlin thoughts. He had work to mark, lessons to play and to try to figure out how to get his new student to calm down a little, not a lot, just enough to listen and actually take in some of the lessons Remus had planned out for him.  Remus couldn't help the soft smile he had about his ewest student though, the lad was bright and vivacious. Clever and witty with a wild streak, however his autism and ADHD combined meant he wasn't able to settle into a mainstream school. He also wasnt able to sit for more then 30 miiutes without needind to move. Not that Remus minded, its just his cane made it harder for him to keep up with the lad. Though, he was 13 and extremely empathetic so Remus hoped it would work out.   Remus also had private clients, ones where the children were rich and posh, but his wilder students were his favourite, not that he would ever admit it. But htere sheer passion for llife was exhilarating. Well, if the mainstream school system hadnt dragged them down at least. Remus was proud of the way his students were alll thriving, even when they were no longer with him. That their zest for knowledge had been rekindleed. He still couldnt help the sigh he et out at how badly so many of his kids had actually been let down by the education system though/ It made his heart clench for these kids who were tol dhow wrong, bad, naughty they were. Whe in reality they were just not suited to a class of 25+ other kids. This lad though, he had been especially let down by his Local Authority. 4 years he had been out of the school environment with substandard tutors who didn't take the time to get to know him and his needs. Remus swore to himself he would do whatever he could to help the lad. He deserved all the best support Remus could offer.  Remus looked at his empty glass and decided to call it a night, his knees were hurting and he had a student at 11am. He wasn't exactly partying it up anyway, so it didnt matter if he was here when he culd be at hime trying to help inprove a young lads life. 

[famines-world]

so i saw a tiktok about james throwing sirius a party for his birthday regardless that his was two days before, and nobody remembered james' birthday. heres my take on it.

(james pov.)

He started planning on halloween, the day before his birthday. He has streamers, booze, snacks, everything.

The day had passed, he was setting up the party by hand with no help, he cast multiple disillusionment charms on the decorations to hide it from everyone. He told Remus to make sure Siri was in the common room by 7pm tomorrow.

He got a cake from the house elves, he had invited all of gryffindor to party aswell. he smuggled bottle after bottle of booze to help make the party more fun for everyone.

it was his birthday.

nobody. noticed.

He put on a smile. He acted normal, swallowing the hurt and the absolute heart crushing pain of his bestfriends not remembering his birthday.

"It'll be okay" he whispered to himself that night.

THE DAY OF THE PARTY HAD ARRIVED.

He prepped and triple checked if he had everything. (hint: he did.) he had padfoot's present, he had the decorations up, the booze, the food, everything.

IT WAS TIME FOR THE PARTY.

He removed his enchantments, all the streamers, banners with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIRI" written sloppily in James' handwriting with poorly drawn dogs that were enchanted to run around on the paper.

The common room had started to fill, silence filling the room as everyone readied for Sirius' arrival. James clenched his teeth, scratching at his arms in nervousness (he wasnt that nervous. he was just holding back tears.)

SIRIUS HAD FINALLY ARRIVED.

The lights switched back on, colorful and flashing as everyone screamed "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" while handing him booze to get ready for the party.

"Happy birthday Pads!" James hollered while handing him his gift with a grin he was known for.

"Thank's prongs" Siri said cheerfully, holding Moony's hand, starting to walk away and socialize with everyone around him. James' eyes dimmed, letting go of the fake happiness, letting some of the sadness he felt cover his features in a light cloud. he grabbed one of the slices of cake and walked to the bathroom.

"Happy birthday, James." he whispered by himself, tears streaming down his face falling into the cake(that was a flavor he didnt even enjoy.) he took a bite of cake, sitting against the wall when he heard taps against the window above him.

He stood curiously, opening the window with a confused look on his face, taking the note off the leg of the owl.

"Happy birthday, mon amour."

-R. A. B.

James' eyes filled with tears, sobs escaping the back of his throat.

someone cared.

AUTHOR NOTES

this was lowkey poorly written but i didnt edit it barely so enjoy this jegulus angst with a touch of friendly resentment

[handledwithgloves]

let’s debunk some of these just for fun and for the education of others. let it be known that op likes regulus so clearly their post is meant to be taken lightly.

first, things op considered bad by snape:

-blood supremacist/called lily a slur

lets also take into account that he has been abused and mistreated by muggles his whole life so its not surprising that he would lean towards hating muggles not to mention that almost all of slytherin house (his peers and who he spends majority of his time with) were blood supremacists and could easily influence him further than his current beliefs and he called lily a slur in a heated moment after which hes apologized profusely for which lily in her right rejected.

this doesnt excuse his actions but clearly he’s regretted since.

-invented sectumsepmra

honestly hes a very bright student for creating a curse at such a young age. should we ask why he would feel so compelled to create such a gruesome curse? for his enemies specifically not for just anyone to use willy nilly for people who he considered enemies. how horribly was he treated by the marauders that he felt he needed to create such a curse to protect himself? lets also note that he never used it against the intended anyway.

-joined death eaters

well, yes. as ive stated before it was were he lied politically based off of his own personal past experiences. an action of his that he spent the rest of his life repenting for and sacrificing himself for. that was how much he wanted to change.

-wanted to save lily only

well, he couldnt ask voldemort to save harry could he? voldemort would kill him on the spot. why would he ask to save harry? even asking dumbledore he couldn’t ask to save harry because just asking dumbledore for help was asking for too much especially because he was on the other side of the war until then. he had one life save and he chose lily because lily meant the most to him.

-george’s missing ear

well, hes alive isnt he?

- outed remus as a werewolf

he was well within his rights to do so. remus was a danger to the students and proved to be so after almost attacking the golden trio. had remus been able to control himself and taken his wolfsbane before going to the shrieking shack, he never wouldve turned into a werewolf and almost killed the kids. i love remus but thsi is completely on him. this has been twice now that severus found remus to be extremely dangerous at the shrieking shack.

-bullied children / was neville’s bogart

he was definitely not made for the occupation he also didnt choose it. as for neville’s boggart it could easily be debunked as a similar boggart to hermione. his fear to fail in snape’s class not necessarily that snape is threatening him or hurting him. as for the toad he never said he would be the one to kill it he only said that next time neville made his potion he should be confident enough to feed it to his pet then see if it lives. which is hilarious. as for hermione idk about the teeth thing but he dislikes how by the book she is. she is smart but she recites books word for word and follows them to a tee. severus the owner of harry’s potion’s book is clearly a figure it out and understand the content yourself because books are not always trustworthy. i personally agree. a true scholar would seek their own answer with the logic to back it up.

*we’ll be skipping the good that severus snape did because the list would simply be too long

next, things considered bad by james:

-snivelus

personally i like the nickname bc i think its cute and a little funny

-bullied snape

lets also include that he sexually assaulted him. belittled, demeaned him his whole hogwarts career from the moment they met because…? because. they barely talked and he just decided to make severus’s life more difficult. severus who was abused and neglected at home and now abused at school. had james chose to befriend him instead you cant help but wonder if everything would be different. instead he chose to torment severus for no reason other than that he was close to lily and didnt like muggles and was a slytherin.

lets also add to this list:

-got his family killed

in the middle of a war he decided it would be a great idea to … celebrate halloween where stangers are disguised and come to knock on your door for candy. not to mention that his own child specifically is being targeted. yet he left his wand on the couch and let voldemort into his home to kill his wife and child. at what point was this brave of him to do? why didnt they come up with a plan b or c? why would they just trust peter despite originally only trusting sirius who didnt want the responsibility and lumped it onto the only other person in their friend group. young and dumb and because of his actions and carelessness and arrogance he is dead and can never redeem himself except through harry.

finally, things considered good by james:

-animagus

this was actually really sweet but illegal and irresponsible. anything for moony. except trust.

-took in sirius black

sirius wasnt even abused. he left that house out of his own free will because he thought he was better than them and disagreed with them politically. and it wasnt up to james sirius came to him and it was up to fleamont and euphemia to take sirius in. james was just there.

-stopped the prank

actually he saved remus. lets not say james suddenly had a change of heart and cared for severus’s wellbeing. he did it because if severus died remus will be sent to azkaban. its obvious because even after the prank and severus’s near death experience, they continue to bully and torment him which led to the drift between severus and lily.

-died.

as i said and will say again. what about this is heroic? he gave lily two seconds to get to harry. like what was james going to do other than hold his hands up to try to stop voldy from entering. you have to be joking. stupidest way to die. could’ve cheked the peephole maybe.

respectfully, why would people stan a man who lived his whole life being an asshole never got to become better and died the most ridiculous death in harry potter history! other than befriending remus despite his infliction what had james potter done that could make him so lovable? what do people see in him? respectfully, he was the worst bully in the whole series and never showed regret for it.

people do not like canon james. they like this completely new different character they created who was a bully for right reasons (?) (there are never right reasons to be a bully) and is silly and goofy and basically a marysue. you do not like james potter. you like an oc, that you created to fit your narrative.

james is meant to be a lesson to harry. thats it. a lesson that even people you think are good can be bad. its the very lesson sirius told him that every person can be good or bad and has the choices. its a welcome to the world of grey (the correct one, not the story). its to teach harry to be understanding (something a lot of you snape haters dont seem to get apparently). to let him know that the world is not black and white. and severus taught harry that people can change. that he doesn’t have to let his hurt carry on with him because he will hurt others. that holding onto love to the very end could make you a better person. that being kind can change someones life (that ones also from lily).

so yeah. why stan james potter when severus snape is right there? a very human and complex person who tried his whole life to right his one wrong. you dont have to like him or ignore all the bad things he’s done to make him likable. you just have to understand that hes not simply good or bad he’s interesting. unlike james who was an asshole, helped create harry, then died… essentially.

its upsetting that marauders fans would not only dimish snape’s experiences of being bullied and abused (at home and school) but also blame him for it? saying he deserved it or ‘who else would do it?’

it’s all a joke to you lot but sev does not need to be your villain/foil so u could praise your version of james potter. no one is ever deserving of being bullied (which was the main point of op’s post in the first place)

“but james potter was a bully””he bullied snape!!!” ok? someone had to do it.

🙄

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things Snape did canonically:

Bad:

•Snape was a blood supremacist who called lily a slur.

•invented a curse for enemies (marauders)

I don’t think a good person would make up a curse which mutilates someone terribly. That too, during his time in Hogwarts.

•oh yeah later on he became a death eater 😋 (the main goal of the death eaters wasto eliminate all muggle-borns in the wizarding world and establish voldemort as its ruler)(magical nazis basically).

Plus when voldy was going to kill lily, Snape was like yk what you can kill the husband and the INFANT just don’t hurt my lily flower teehee like okay james bullied him so him not caring about james made sense but harry was a child bro

•BULLIED CHILDREN DURING HIS TIME AS A PROFESSOR????? he was literally neville’s bogart ffs and not because “some teachers are just scary okay Neville was afraid of almost everything!!!” but because Snape bullied neville on a daily basis plus threatened to kill his pet after a failed potion thingy. plus he made fun hermione’s physical appearance (when draco made her teeth all big and Snape was like hah it’s the same there’s no difference) and he bullied for BEING GOOD AT ACADEMICS LIKE 😭😭😭???? He bullied almost everyone in Hogwarts I just know it.

•sectumsempra’d George’s year off.

•tried to out Remus Lupin as a werewolf for NO reason other than his childish misdemeanour.

Good:

•called Sirius and Remus an old married couple.

•saves Katie bell from a cursed necklace

•saves draco malfoy from a terrible curse that could’ve killed him by the counter charm “vulnera saneteur”

can someone guess which curse Snape saved draco from??? You’re right! It was sectumsempra!

•switched sides or smth

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things james did canonically:

Bad:

•called Snape snivellus (was funny ngl)

•bully snape

Good:

•turned into an illegal animagus at the age of 15 so his werewolf friend (Remus) has company during his transformations.

•took sirius black in after he ran away from an abusive hoursehold.

•SAVED FUCKING SNAPE FROM REMUS IN HIS WEREWOLF FORM AFTER SIRIUS SENT HIM THERE.

JAMES SAVED SNAPE.

•literally died trying to stall Voldemort so Lily and Harry have some time to escape or just live in general.

So my point is canon james was a bit of an asshole but he still did way more good deeds than Snape even though Snape was in all the seven books like one of the good things he did was literally the consequences of his own actions (healing draco).

All of this is canon btw. NONE of it is fanon.

sincerely keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth he did what should have been done.

[nsfsprince]

Hello! It’s the anon that requested the fae logince!!

I have an idea, but it is just an idea-

So, running off the image that it start with Roman doesn’t seem to be in.. control. At all-

Logan is that typical fae that was like ohh pretty human, I’m just gonna *pick up* and fucking keep it.

But even once you give your name to a fae and you belong to them- even if they wipe you a clean state, hints of your previous self shines through! It’s the chemicals in your brain, you can’t really wave them away!

So Logan has his little obedient human, who occasionally is very flattering and sweet and all ✨grand gestures✨ and looks ✨pretty✨ and Logan promptly realizes after a while, that he isn’t thinking of Roman the same anymore- he’s fond of the human-

He’s got a crush

So logan, realizing the pickle he is in, slowly lets Roman gain control again, in hope of freaking apologizing and wooing him. (Idk about that part, but hey, it’s an idea!)

Que enemies (??? Will ro be upset???) to lovers speed run were Logan realizes Roman is VERY STRONG, and pins him to wall to make out

Jfkdkd ohhhhhh I definately like that. Some minor tweaks that i'd make based on my initial idea from said image is that Roman gave his name and thus himself over, willingly, to Logan.

(The rest under the cut cuz this got long)

He was a prince with a missing twin brother(ehem. Remus went and dipped to party w/ a certain pair of fae, maybe relevant later but only story wise and not getting involved with Roman and Logan wise, plus Remus didnt intentionally bail on his brother, time just works differently in the fae world, he had every intention of coming back to see his brother again) so with the weight of the kingdom looming on his shoulders he decides he cant do it.

Another aspect of this needing to run away idea is that Roman is trans, and is thus the only remaining heir and technically their kingdom's crowned Princess(which he Hates but since Remus is Missing, no one else has the power to fight his father on it) and his father is looking at marrying him off which Cannot Happen.

So he runs into the massive forest where he last saw his brother go and runs and runs, even when his skirts rip and his sleeves tear and he trips on tree roots, he runs.

And when his legs finally give out, he's caught in strong arms, a gentle hand cradling his head and a crooning voice lilting through the clearing. Hes in a fairy circle, he can see the trail on the forest floor, looping around him and this new stranger neatly.

He looks up and sees this beautiful fae, sharp edges and ethereal beauty, ice blue eyes sharp and calculating and mouth curved into a comforting grin just a hare sharper than human teeth can manage. A Fae. Roman swallows, unable to quite look away.

Hes still being cradled by the others impossible strength, though theyve now lowered to the ground.

"Breath, little one, breathe. Thats it, good boy. Im so proud of you. Just take your time, you look so tired from running all that way, I'll protect you, my dear." The low, lilting voice says, a gentle hand carding through his mussed hair. Its as if Roman hadnt been running for so long, every breath hurts less and less, his exhaustion evaporates and his mind clears with every passing minute that he remains trapped in the others warm gaze.

'To hell with it,' Roman thinks tiredly, 'out of the pan and into the fire.'

Inevitably, the fae gently tucks him closer and asks if they may have his name, and Roman knows he should deny it and play it smart, they seem to know full well all the thoughts bouncing around in his stressed out mind, but he cant seem to do it. He leans into their side firmly and tucks up against their chest, ducking his head as he gives his answer.

"Yes, you may have it, and you may have me. I am Roman Elizabeth Sanders, Second Prince of Creetivea."

And if the Fae, Lo, as Roman would come to know the other as, paused for a whole 40 secounds out to sheer bafflement over such a brilliant mind giving up so instantaneously, no one but Roman was there to witness it.

Continuing with your thoughts tho, Lo really does start developing a crush, because Roman is sweet and dramatic and still so very brilliant even without even a third of true awareness or control, and Logan finds himself challenged by this little plaything of his in a way few fae have even managed in a long time. And Logan's protective of his things, of course, especially his favorite pet. No one is allowed to touch his Roman but him.

And so he starts to give Roman bits of pieces of control back, a back and forth over an idea here, a little debate over theatre there, a handsy cuddle-turned-makeout session here, a firm and steamy scene there. Even just a quiet stargazing date that remains soft and calm throughout their quiet exchanges. Giving the True Roman chances to shine through and seeing how he handles it all, how he handles Logan.

And boy, Roman is infuriated by Logan, with his pretty mouth and cocky grin and accurate debate points, he just wants to find a way to knock Logan down a notch every once in a while, never quite to be in charge of course, but Roman loves picking a little on people he loves.

And Logan is falling harder and harder. Oh he adores his Roman. Enough so to give Roman his full name, "Logan." The sound of Roman mewling his name over and over in pure coherent bliss later that night is more than reward enough.

Around other fae Logan is likely very protective and wary with Roman present, and has his own protection spells and the like over his mortal love just to be on the safe side. But hoo boy he absolutely doesnt regret giving Roman near total control back.

The only time Logan pulls him back under control is for fun times, and only ever enough to make roman's body obey, but never enough to override romans mind or consent. Roman discovers just how pliant human biology is when commanded to cum over, and over, and over again at the drop of a single word, and its overwhelmingly hot.

Roman is also very weak for riding Logan, hes got the stamina to go for a while but Lo still far outbeats him, but not to worry, his Fae Love is happy to grip his hips and keep fucking his dripping, oversensitive hole slow and teasingly, till Romans usually overactive mind is finally reduced to overstimulated mush.

What im getting at is that Ro is used to being in a position of power and working doubley as hard to be respected, heard, and listened to, and when he couldnt take it anymore he gave it all up, and at most he might try and pin Logan for kisses and cuddles, it is entirely a show of dramatics and none of strength. He might play a little bratty role here and there and he will happily get into heated debates with Logan over things, but hes never been too interested in overpowering Logan.

Logan, on the other hand, has plenty of fun with (consentually)overpowering his favorite pet-turned-lover~

[analoceits]

ok i was going to put this in the tags but i WOULD have reached the tag limit so. under the cut

anyway. SCREAMS. duckie i FUCKING LOVE THIS THIS IS SO REAL. i have so many thoughts about this. FUCK.

virgil who predicted himself leaving the darkside and tried so damn hard to avoid it. he was the first to relent in arguments he would always find the middle ground. he was good. he stopped snapping. no matter how hard it was he did it. because the idea of leaving his family was terrifying enough.

being the bigger person builds resentment. and the other dark sides didnt even know, he didnt dare tell them. all of them had abandonment issues. he knew how that would go. but virgil was so tired. and one day, tired and bitter, janus slips something about how miserable it would be to live with him forever. remus agrees.

and virgil snaps. he doesnt even explain what he saw he just screams at them and packs his bags and crumbles in to the light side living room. they dont even ask why. virgil realizes what that was then: a self-fulfilling prophecy.

also the HORROR potential of the visions themself. does virgil only see them, or does he experience them? he doesnt know they arent real in the moment. hes bleeding out or falling or cradling a body covered in blood. it all feels so real. it hurts real, at least. how long do they last? maybe whenever he wants it to end its hours. and whenever he needs to find out more its seconds. no rhyme or reason.

imagine the paranoia from that. is he actually awake, or is this a Vision? did that really happen or was that a vision? maybe theres a time limit. so when something goes terribly, awfully wrong virgil counts down the seconds until he should wake up. and if he does its relief and terror all at once. and if doesnt he starts sobbing.

the other sides slowly convincing themselves that virgils visions are mostly fake. because the things rarely happen. and no matter how much virgil explains thats because he stops them, they still dont get it.

until one day, virgil tells someone to not do something. maybe he tells patton to sleep in the living room tonight. or he tells roman to stop writing something. or logan to stop researching something. and they dont listen. its not worth it, they think, it wont happen.

and it does happen, or at least gets close. and they are horribly injured or sick or at least traumatized. and virgil fixes it. like always. but now whenever they tell him hes being absurd or they go to ignore him, they glance at the blood stains on the carpet or the scars across their friends back and remember. then they listen.

(and also: on a much more light hearted note, virgil getting annoyed with the others for things they do in visions. and them trying to argue "i didnt even do it! what!!" and hes just like glaring at them "but you WOULD. and you COULD.")

SANDERS SIDES FANS HEAR ME OUT!!

Future seer virgil 💥BOOM YOUR MIND HAS JUST BEEN BLOWN!

Just imagine, a Virgil who has so much anxiety about the future and the visions he gets. He stresses about all the possible timelines and what terrible things could happen. He urges the others to not to do certain actions because theres a timeline where that leads to everybody dying, but it has like a 0.0002% chance of actually happening. The visions can be so scary and vivid and they haunt him, he can barely sleep at night when his dreams show him horrible prophecies. The visions give him terrible headaches and the others help him afterwards.

DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND MY VISION!! Also itd be so fun to give him a third eye
