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.”

Prompt 13 - Arrangement

Wolfstar, January 13, word count 555

Previous part First part

The sun soon dipped behind the trees and a cool breeze took its place. Remus saw Sirius shiver, and they left Remus’s tree, returning to the house where apparently the party was in full swing. Remus and Sirius slipped inside the house and went into the kitchen to get a drink each. 

Remus grabbed a can of coke and Sirius followed suit.

“You can have a drink if you want, Sirius, don’t feel like you can’t because of me,” Remus said over the loud music and louder guests. Sirius shook his head.

“I’m driving. I never drink and drive, it’s just not worth it,” Remus loved that Sirius had that mindset. He’d known too many people from his school get into accidents because they’d had one too many and got behind the wheel.

“REMUS!!!” A ball of auburn waves crashed into him.

“Hi, Marls,” he said, patting her on the top of her head fondly.

“Ooooo, and who is this handsome devil? We haven’t met, right?” Marlene looked between the two.

“Sirius,” Sirius said, thrusting out his hand for her to shake. “Remus’s boyfriend,” He added, as she took his hand with a slightly perplexed expression on her face, which changed to a jaw drop.

“Remus John Lupin, you have a boyfriend?! Since when?!” Marlene turned to look at him in faux outrage. 

“Er…”

“Since Tuesday,” Sirius answered, beaming from ear to ear.

“And when did you meet?” Marlene asked.

“Sunday evening,” Sirius replied again. “My parents were hosting a party and Remus was one of the servers. I cornered him in an alley on his way out, and he took me for the worst kebab I’ve ever had,” Marlene sported uncontrollably at Sirius’s description of their first sort of date.

“Oh gods Remus, you didn’t take him to the Blackpool illuminations, did you?” She finally managed to gasp out as she caught her breath.

“The Blackpool Illuminations?” Sirius asked, confused.

“It’s what Marls calls the kebab shop because of all the lights,” It was Sirius’s turn to snort and Remus didn’t think he’d ever heard a better sound. 

“So have they told you about their totally bonkers, adorable arrangement,” James boomed, suddenly appearing and flinging an arm over Remus's and Sirius’s shoulders. He’d clearly had a few drinks already and was pleasantly floppy.

“No,” Marlene leaned in, interested.

“Sirius invited himself to stay over and Remus just let him,”

“What?!”

“Yeah, and then he let him come back and sleep over every night. Marlene, Marlene,” James leaned in closer until his nose was touching the end of Marlene's, using Remus and Sirius to keep him from falling on her. “They cooked dinner for each other!”

“Oh, my ever-loving Gods!!!” Marlene squealed in excitement, nearly headbutting James as she jumped up and down.

“And Marlene, and you know what else? They haven’t even done anything yet,”

“Shut. Up.”

“No, I’m serious.”

“No, I’m Sirius,” Sirius butted in, stopping James’s story from going any further. Both James and Marlene burst into loud belly laughs at his terrible joke.

“Come on, let's escape while we can,” Remus murmured into Sirius’s ear, gently guiding him away from where James and Marlene were rolling around on the floor, while he snuck Sirius upstairs to the guest room that was basically his and had been since he was a teen.

Before I go any further, are there any other marauders stans going to the Stockholm or Cardiff shows

[righteousenjoymentofthunder]

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]

Regulus: you’re a bitch

Sirius: thanks

[self-shipping-doll13]

With trying to change/grow myself for the better comes identity weirdness such as ‘am I actually shy or is it just my upbringing’ Lately I genuinely have seen my own growth as something I can be curious about and love rather than to fear in stagnation. I contain multitudes or whatever.

It’s great to have my blog to be unapologetically myself, here’s stuff for my Ivar/Liam era (and Liam as an oc was only created barely 2 months ago!!!)

Ivar is giving me the same look he gives Heahmund during that scene… hahahs no he’d be glad that I’ll protect myself from the harsh world by learning my worth as a person and that, since I am his I have a free pass to be selfish and dramatic. The more I am outside my state of insecurity the more he feels he knows who I am, the more it feels like me being sweet and vulnerable with him is because I trust him.

Liam’s always willing to encourage me out of my introverted shell, and is happy to see me talking eagerly to people!!! Irl or otherwise even if he doesn’t know much Abt my blog. His reaction to finding out about certain things I post would be to put on his old man glasses and take notes so he can bring it up later. He loves me being explorative. He feels so blessed to be able to witness me maturing as a person and guide me yep I wrote about this before.

[ziggy-stardust-08]

no no no. fuck y'alls headcanons

SIRIUS fell first REMUS fell harder

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.

[seriousbrat]

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.

Prompt 17 - Beast

@wolfstarmicrofic September 17, word count 567

Previous part First Wolfstar part

Over the next few days, they set up training classes for those in the pack who wanted to learn. Sirius was surprised by how many signed up. They had to share wands for the moment. A few had their own already, and by partnering up with those who didn’t, they had just enough for one between two. 

“Now you must follow the exact wand movement I show you, or you’ll blow your partner’s head off,” Remus warned the group. Some of the wolves shifted nervously, but Sirius had seen the mischievous glint in his eye. He was only joking, the worst a Depulso would do was give you a headache for a few hours. “Alight, repeat after me. Depulso!” Remus cast the spell on Sirius. Sirius was lifted off his feet and soared backwards through the air, landing on the cushions they’d transfigured from handfuls of moss. “Right, everybody, give it a go, and we’ll come round and help if you need it,” Remus told the group. He had Sirius, Regulus and James all waiting to jump in. It took a few hours, but by the end, all the wolves had cast a decent Depulso and walked back to the camp, chatting merrily.

“Marcus?” Sirius got the attention of the other wolf as they followed the others. “Can you explain what you meant the other day about me being a second, what is that?” It had been bugging him for days. He’d meant to ask, but then the diadem and the cup and his father happened. He’d totally forgotten about it, until now, when he’d had more than a second to think. 

“Oh, that, it just means you stepped up to the plate. You took over beside Remus, and the magics chose you. I was filling in, but I guess I’m more of a third now,” He shrugged. “Basically, your word is law unless Remus overrules you. You’re also in charge if Remus isn’t around or if he dies while a new leader is picked, though most of the time, the second becomes the new pack leader,” His expression turned serious. “You’re a totally different beast than what you were before, being a second comes with new magics as well. You’ll be stronger in your wolf form and be able to order us. It’s not as strong as Remus’s, but still, you’re a boss man now, and that my friend comes with responsibilities,” Sirius stared at him with wide eyes. New magics? New pack powers? His head was spinning with all the information. He’d never meant to invoke anything, he was just tired of them shouting at Remus. 

“Well shit,” He breathed. He was becoming even more entwined with the wolf pack. He hadn’t even thought about what would happen to them after the war was over. He’d just assumed he and Remus would leave and drop right back into their old lives once they didn’t have to hide any more. He was the Black family heir as well and that had its own responsibilities. But now, he couldn’t see himself leaving them. 

He had a lot to think about. Marcus left him to it, sensing he was lost in his thoughts. Could he do it? Could he permanently become part of the wolf pack? He needed to discuss everything with Remus. Remus would know what to do. He hurried after Marcus, determined to sort everything out.

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.
