Giving - Dec. 12th - word count: 729 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Remus Lupin sat down near the hearth of Potter Manor, holding a plate of pastries and a mug of hot chocolate.

Sirius Black was sitting right next to him in the little circle that his friends had made. Remus smiled at his boyfriend and passed him a Muggle store-bought croissant, grinning when Sirius wrinkled his nose.

“Moony, are you trying to poison me? What is this- this abomination?” Sirius asked, dropping the pastry on the floor. “How dare you hand that to me?”

“Well, Sirius, you were the one who suggested we get some Muggle foods to try over Christmas hols. It’s not my fault,” Remus shrugged.

“How dare you, Moony,” Sirius said, putting a hand on his heart and pretending to faint like a Victorian-Era lady. “That is pure lies and slander, and you know it.”

“Shut up, Sirius. We want to start the gift opening,” grumbled Lily from where she was nestled into James’s side. “Save the dramatics for later.”

“Fine,” Sirius pouted, righting himself. “Who’s up first?”

“Sirius,” Peter sighed, “If you had been listening then you would have realized that it was you first. But noooo, you had to go and faint over a croissant.”

“Hey! It was an utter travesty to all French food, stop defending that atrocity,” Sirius protested, getting up and walking over to the tree to get his gift. 

Lily had insisted on doing something different this year, so she had chosen some sort of Muggle tradition called “Secret Santa” or something like that. It involved slips of paper and also a lot of secrecy, but Sirius was great at secrecy.

Oh, and his gift was for Remus. It may or may not have been a stack of books, but that didn’t matter.

Sirius grabbed the bright red present with his name on it from under the tree and made his way back over to the group.

“Unwrap it!” cheered James, which caused Lily to smack him in the arm. 

Sirius did as told, and was surprised to see a bright red and gold scarf. He picked it up, trying to figure out who had given it to him. 

It must have been Lily, he figured, as she was able to knit and she also liked to make her friends gifts.

“Lily, was this from you?” Sirius asked.

“No, it wasn’t, actually.” She smirked and glanced at Peter, who sighed at her devious smirk. 

“It’s from me, Sirius,” Peter said. “I also charmed it to be durable and also to be warm no matter what, so that Padfoot has something to play tug with that’s harder to break.”

“Thanks, Pete,” Sirius said, pretending to blow him a kiss. “Such a thoughtful lad, you are.”

“Well yeah. It’s the season of giving, after all. Now,” Peter clapped his hands together. “Remus, you’re up.”

Remus made his way over to the tree as well, picking out a deep blue box and going back to the little circle that his friends had made. 

Upon unwrapping it, his eyes widened when he saw first editions of all of his favorite books. Who the fuck would have this much money- Oh. Wait. Sirius and James would.

Remus made a guess at who the gift-giver was. He did have a fifty-fifty chance, after all. 

“Sirius, fess up. Why’d you do this for me?” 

Sirius’s eyes widened, obviously not expecting his boyfriend to guess him first try. “I mean, you said you liked those books?” he said weakly.

“No, no. Well, yes, I do, but these are first editions, Sirius. I expect you know how rare and valuable these are, no? Why?” Remus asked, already doing mental calculations for how much he owed.

“Because I love you? You mean so much to me, and also that was, like, barely a dent in Alphard’s money. I’d totally do it again. When Wally and Onion die then I’ll buy you all the books you want., actually. Make them roll in their graves a bit, you know?”

Remus sat there, shocked, before regaining his senses and pulling his boyfriend into a kiss.

A good few seconds into the kiss, Remus heard James gag. “Get a room, you two. Please. You’re dirtying the pastries’ innocent dough.” 

They broke apart, shooting him a dirty look in unison before bursting into laughter. 

“The pastries? Seriously?” Lily said, looking up at him.

“Yeah, love. Siriusly.”

procrastinating studying by reading fanfic... and reading the third chapter and being absolutely SLAPPED in the face with mischaracterisation. and then im like: this concept had SO MUCH potential? *goes to write the fic im thinking of*

[anonymouse5]

[ziggy-stardust-08]

thank you goodnight

[marauderswolf22]

sad hdc bc every month is good in marauders era to make it tragic <3

even tho sirius's pure blood and has been coming across magic since his birth and earlier (he has been litterally written in the sky omg), he still believed that a simple kiss on skin would heal a wound or decrease the pain (or just simply make you feel better in some way) . you probably think "oh that's cute", im sorry to tell you it is not. bc remember how sirius till his brother like relationship with james wouldn't have that much physical touch, while his parents were abusive, also physically! ik that he had reggie, but he was younger and their experiences made them quite distanced from touch with one another imo. summaring, sirius would have so much physical injuries through his childhood and most of teenage years, but before james and him being so close (and with the kisses to a wound and a more intimate way before remus), he was never feeling like "healed" emotionally during the hurts healing or after it. it will just sit in the back of his head after years and months. one of my hdcs also says that he didn't recieve an amount of care that he craved and needed during sickness. since he was really young he would have to deal with it on his own, hiding anything that could couse someone seeing that he's not okay or asks for help. so the fact that he was clearly saing that he thinks other people's affection and attention can make you get better in that way is really sad.

I've said it before, but the fun of these characters is that they are messy arrogant berks.

Sirius is a glorious dickhead and that's why I love him.

so true my beloved artemisia-black!! I honestly can't understand this because the entire reason I like the characters is because they suck (read: they are complex, morally grey, multifaceted, interesting) it's very unrelatable to me the way people seem to purposefully ignore or rewrite the most fascinating parts of these characters.

mean girl dickhead Sirius Black is my entire life, my favourite character in harry potter and I love him exactly as he is.

ALSO, I received an anon a while ago about Sirius fic recs (I'm notoriously bad at recommending fic lol) so I want to take this moment to recommend artemisia's work because it's my fave and I've been thinking for like an entire week about how I completely blanked when I replied to that anon and somehow forgot about artemisia's treasure trove of sirius-centric fics lol.

James Potter is a wounded child prodigy but not like in a Sirius or Remus kind of way but in the way that all children pro-athlete are

The kind that have been trained to go pro since infancy

The kind that are never satisfied with their performance

The kind that burn when they think of the harsh words that come from coaches, family, and friends

The kind that inevitably leave the sport they loved imploding from the pressure of being the best or being overworked to the point of forced retirement

The kind that will never forget the rush of winning of being the best of seeing people be proud of them

James Potter is that kid and you can pry that from my cold dead hands because he was a prodigy at quidditch and that simultaneously brought meaning into his life and was the reason he was close to ending it

I have no problem with how people headcanon Remus and Sirius' sexualities but I think you need to really think about why you are choosing a certain sexuality and how that affects your perception.

I have been in this fandom for almost ten year (which is jarring for me) and I have seen how the sexualities have changed how they are both perceived. Remus was more often than not headcanoned as being gay and he was a soft boy who was quiet and didn't really take part in the pranks and he was focused on academics and was occasionally sarcastic and always had this "feminine" quality about him in both artworks and writings. Sirius was more often than not headcanoned as being bisexual and he was brash and loud and a "ladies man" who slept around and didn't care about pissing people off.

Now these have switched, and while they still do retain some of the original common traits, they are mostly swapped and I find it interesting that characters headcanoned as gay are suddenly soft and nervous and quiet and always end up feminised in some way, which ordinarily would not be a problem however it seems to come up again and again with gay characters. It is also interesting how characters headcanoned as bisexual become brash and mean and sleep around.

This fandom has a serious problem with playing into stereotypes about sexualities without even realising it and often defending it by saying you're queer so it's fine. It's not, if anything when you're queer you should be trying harder to break the stereotypes surrounding your own sexuality.

Anyway, just think about why you're choosing a sexuality for a character and how you perceive them before and afterwards.

if you have to horrible mischaracterize a character to the point where you’re being a real life abuser apologist then maybe you should find a different character to dislike
