ISWTF Chapter 4 is coming soon lads! I've had a bit of a break from writing since I've been so busy in the lead up to Christmas but the next chapter is definitely on its way. To tide you over, here's a little sneak preview consisting of some of my favourite dialogue I've ever written:

“That’s a shit origin story, mate,” James said through a laugh.  “Sometimes things are just shit stories,” Remus laughed back, shaking his head fondly. “Shit stories make real life and I reckon most people are just a collection of shit stories.” “Yeah, I’m definitely just three shit stories in a trench coat,” Marlene interjected solemnly. “And at least two of the stories involve scissoring.” “McKinnon!” Reg gasped, his head falling into his hands.  Bloody hell, Sirius had never been happier.

Read Chapters 1 to 3 on AO3 if ya fancy

Lateral Thinking

by sadspatula

complete | rated M | 20,146 words | wolfstar

At twenty eight years old, Sirius Black is well accustomed to what he believes his lot in life is and wants to make the best of it. He loves his friends dearly and their long-held tradition of the weekly pub quiz. He’s as happy as anyone like him deserves to be, but suddenly everything is changing and he can’t keep up. Isn’t it funny how quickly things can fall apart?

A modern muggle wolfstar AU written for the Siriusly Hozier Fest. Prompt: “are there limits to any emptiness?”

Read on AO3

Hello hi this is a self promo but this lil story is super special to me and I actually never posted it on here!! Mind the tags but overall it’s basically just self indulgent fluff 🫶🏻

Saying this, another disclaimer because I got kind of a shitty comment on it - the fic delves into some heavy mental health themes, many of which are rooted in my own experiences. Sirius is written as a character with BPD by an author with BPD - people experience this illness differently, his experience with it is based on mine.

Love n wolfstar

Wolfstar | WIP | Rated M | Chapter 3/ ?

It’s 1984. In the small Welsh town of Direidi, every day was the same and Remus was sick of it all - the same cobbled streets, the same boring small talk and now, the same strike. But when Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners arrive, and with them, Sirius Black, everything changes and the quiet voice in the back of Remus’s head that always told him he was different can’t be ignored anymore.

Chapter 3 just dropped chat!!

Lil snippet below:

“James?” Marlene called over her shoulder, a spliff hanging limply from her lips. “Care to explain why Tampon here is acting like a kid on a sugar high? Did you forget to feed and water him this morning or something?”

“He’s just excited to meet his miner mate ,” James teased with raised eyebrows. 

“Spill!!” Mary squealed, catapulting forward to shake the headrests. 

“I don’t have a miner mate ,” Sirius protested.

“Remus is so funny. Oh, did I tell you that Remus has such good music taste? Remus is the best and I want to marry him and have his babies,” Regulus said in that irritating monotone voice he used when he wanted to take the piss. Prick.

“I don’t want to have his babies,” Sirius mumbled, heat rushing to his cheeks.

“Yes you do,” James smiled. There was a hint of teasing still in his voice, but there was something else too. Something fond and familiar that made Sirius’s stomach twist with anxiety.

“This is the one you had to ring about the money, right?” Marlene asked into the rear view mirror, finally lighting the joint between her red lips as she said it. She took a deep drag and the van filled with its earthy musk. “You gone soft for a breeder or something, Tamps?” 

“It’s not like that,” Sirius shook his head. “Remus is just an…..acquaintance…who happens to also be a coal miner?”

“Miner mate!” James sang.

Sirius had wanted to say ‘friend’, but they weren’t exactly friends per se, not in the traditional sense anyway. If they weren’t ‘friends’, they also weren’t something as formal as ‘colleagues’ either. See, after their initial phone call three weeks before, Sirius had to speak to Remus more and more. And then, he found himself finding excuses to make the calls. James and Reg were absolutely raging when they saw the phone bill for all those long distance calls, but it was worth it.
