TW: Internal homophobia (Walburga and Orion nothing could make me like you)
Give me Sirius Black who knew he liked Remus romantically. Who wanted to say something but was stopped by an overwhelming fear of rejection because that was what heâd known all his life (courtesy of his parents).
Sirius knew he liked Remus but anytime someone asked him how he felt he would deny it because he was terrified that it would get back to Remus and it would ruin their relationship forever.
Give me Sirius who knew how he felt about Remus but was scared of it. Scared because heâd been told it was wrong. Scared that Remus would think so too.
Sirius was scared because what Remus thought mattered. He wanted Remus to approve of him. He was scared Remus wouldnât look at him the same way anymore.
Give me Sirius who was denying his feelings for Remus from himself too. He knew that he was in love but he wouldnât allow himself to think it because then it would be real.
Sirius was denying his feelings to himself because he didnât want to feel that way. He just wished he could be normal.

Do you think you could do Sirius Black with the âI hate everyone but you.â Personality.
James is immediately alerted to your glum mood when you sit down without so much as a greeting, and he leans across the table with narrowed eyes.
"What's'a matter, Y/L/N?"
"Sirius is mad at me." You reveal drearily, wrapping your hand around the fork set at your place even if you don't feel like eating.
"Oh," James's brow scrunches, "Don't take it personal, babe. He's having a shit day, he heard from his mum. Nothing nice, I bet. Wouldn't let me see it. Just- he's grouchy with everyone today, don't let it bother you."
"But he told me to come back tomorrow," You recount, "Like he can't stand seeing me for the entire day! What am I supposed to do, James, we're set to study in the library at three. And- and I could help him! I could be there for him, but he's pushing me away instead."
James's brows raise, and a pitying smile works its way over his face, "Love. You're the kind of person that wants to be around people all the time. You seek comfort out when you're sad; Sirius doesn't. If you love him, y'gotta let him sulk for a bit. Then he'll come to you. And-" His nose scrunches, his brows wrinkled, "And all he said was 'come back tomorrow'? That's nothing. He told me to get my bespectacled arse out of the room before he shut the window on my head."
Your face contorts in horror, "James! James, that's so mean, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, darling." He snickers, "That's what I mean, that's just what Sirius does."
"Not to me he doesn't," You frown, "That's not okay, James, he should treat you better than that."
"He's having a rough time," James shrugs, "Doesn't bother me. He's all talk, he'd never do any of it. Just needs to blow off steam, y'know? And I think we both know why he tones it down for you, Y/N."
"I'm not special," You snap, reigniting the age-old argument between you and James that Sirius totally does not have feelings for you, not one bit.
"Right," James gives you an overexaggerated roll of his eyes, curls bouncing as he does so, "That's why he threatened to behead me and all he did to you was kindly shoo you away."
"Maybe you just piss him off more than me," You stick your tongue out at him, and turn to Remus for support as the boy sits down beside you.
"Morning," James takes the lead, shooting you a smirk out of the corner of his eye, "Talk to Sirius today, Moony?"
"Little shit told me if I didn't stop talking to him - which I only tried once, by the way," Remus groans, "- he'd 'mess me up' so hard my transformations felt like reprieve."
James's eyes widen and he tries tamping down a snort, tucking into his breakfast instead. Remus turns to you and your once-more incredulous gaze, scoffing lightly, "And I suppose he just told you to come back tomorrow?"
"That's exactly it!" James slams a fist on the table, a chunk of egg flying from his mouth that Remus shakes off of his hand with a grimace, "Moony, tell her she's special."
"I'm not special," You desperately try deluding yourself, shoveling your own forkful of food into your mouth as soon as you're done speaking, so that you don't have to answer to their protests, "He just hates you both."
#sirius afterwards shuffling up to james and remus with a scripted note in hand that you wrote#and you're behind him pushing him along like >:(( apologize#and they've both got the biggest shit eating grins on their faces as sirius grumbles out how sorry he is for being 'verbally abusive'#sirius black x reader#sirius black imagine#sirius black scenario#sirius black oneshot#sirius black one-shot#sirius black one shot#sirius black headcanon#sirius black headcanons#sirius black hc#sirius black hcs#sirius black fanfiction#sirius black fanfic#sirius black fic#sirius black blurb#sirius black drabble#sirius black dialogue#sirius black fluff#sirius black x reader fanfiction

if u think that sirius only stopped believing blood prejudice propaganda bcs his family abused him & not the opposite u r fundamentally misunderstanding his entire character
#like the whole point is that he SO STRONGLY was against their beliefs that rven when they abused him for it he refused to back down#saying that he only qas on the light side bcs of a grudge against his family invalidates his entire character#sirius black

"Everything had been above board (s)he wasn't sure."
~ Taylor Swift (The Manuscript) Pairing: none (Black Brothers Angst) - Rating: M -CW: Child Abuse (Walburga Black's A+ Parenting)
âThere are three Unforgivable Curses,â the Professor lectured, pointing his wand at the chalkboard to highlight the three spells listed there. âThe Cruciatus Curse is the first. It is used to induce excruciating and debilitating torture that can cause the victim to descend into madness in rare cases. Sometimes-â
But Regulus, who was sitting in the back of the room, raised a trembling hand.Â
âYes, Mister Black?â the Professor asked, looking up.
âExcuse me, Professor. But I know you said earlier these Curses are extremely illegal. Thatâs not in all cases, correct? I know theyâre allowed for punishment, for example,â Regulus asked blandly, his expression emotionless.
The Professor stared, blood draining from his face. âN-no, Mister Black. Theyâre illegal in all circumstances. No matter what. Not even the Ministry is allowed to cast them. Really, I canât imagine anyone wanting to use such an evil spellâŠ.â
But Regulusâs eyes had glazed over, as if he was a million miles away.
-
Sirius hadnât talked to his brother for months when, suddenly, the younger boy ran up to him, gasping for air and choking back tears. âIt- it- theyâŠSirius,â he stuttered, grabbing for his brother. âThey hurt us. They werenât supposed to. Were they?â
And Sirius, tears falling from his own eyes, both for the past and for the brother that stood in front of him now, pulled Regulus in his arms. âNo, Reg. They werenât.â

Sirius has a complicated relationship with his family. It is not always black and white. Orion and Walburga are not constantly abusing him with courses or yelling at him. Regulus is not always scared. Sirius and Regulus are not always fighting.
They are not the picture perfect family. Orion and Walburga are not the best parents and they are abusive in general. They are never present as love figures. But it is not always bad. At the end of the day, they thought they were doing the best for their family and sons. Let's remember the way they were raised as well and the values they were forced to believe.
I like to imagine brief moments of bonding between them. Like Orion teaching Sirius about manhood and girls. Or Walburga caressing Regulus's hair on a peaceful afternoon. Or Walburga and Orion having wife and husband's deep conversations about their future, their family and their children.
Of course these moments are very few. More are the bad ones. Mostly they avoid each other. And there are a lot of fights. They are not the perfect family. But they are human after all and somehow (maybe not in the nicest way) they care about each other.
#I feel like people are going to cancel me because of this#But at the end of the day they are human#They can be really complex characters to explore#And their dynamic could be more complicated and profound#It is not always poor Sirius being a victim of abuse from monsters#maraudersera#marauders headcanon#sirius black#regulus black#orion black#walburga black#the black family

so i think that even with orion and walburga being less pure evil than fandom portrays them sirius still has the right to go no contact with them bc for him itâd be like. my father forcibly forgets i exist and my mother only loves me as an extension of herself. i am their first child i am their favourite child but iâll never be told i make them proud. all of me comes from them but they donât like looking into the mirror. i remember a hand around mine guiding me in drawing letters but iâm unsure if that hand looked like my own does now. my mother almost murdered a teacher once for saying i was impossible but turned around and claimed he was correct right after. they told me what my favourite colour was and donât acknowledge iâve since found a different one myself. my father would rip a hole through the fabric of space and time to haul me away from danger but he canât even dredge up the energy to fake interest in how iâve been. i have my mothers eyes and she refuses to accept i donât see the world like she does. all i want from them is that they see me as me, but they keep looking away and say that i am theirs. i will be the downfall of this family and theyâll blame each other but agree i didnât try hard enough. iâll burn my likeness from that tapestry myself.
#sirius black#walburga black#orion black#most noble and ancient house of black#a child has a right to remove himself from a toxic situation even without physical abuse#sorry for not adding regulus i - much like orion&walburga - forgot he existed while writing this

why do snaters not realize you can hate a character but still not blame them for everything
They're all like, "Oh, Snape deserved to be bullied, he deserved to be abused because he was such a horrible person." Like how do you defend that happening to a child???
I absolutely despise canon Sirius because he's so awful to Snape in the books, and also his personality is quite literally the exact opposite of mine, but I don't think that he deserved to be abused by his own parents at all. (I think only verbal abuse was confirmed, but it's been years since I've read the books so lmk if I'm wrong)
Like Sirius was a terrible person to my favorite character, but that still doesn't mean that I'd defend his parents' abuse since he was a child
Just like Snape

Star-crossed lovers (May 9th)
tw mention of abuse
word count: 590
@wolfstarmicrofic
âWe canât, Remus. Iâm sorry,â Sirius says and he hates himself. He told himself he wouldnât cry but heâs crying and he hates himself.Â
Remus looks lost, like he really canât believe or understand what Sirius is saying. âIâ Sirius, love, are you okay? Did something happen?â he reaches out to touch Siriusâ face but Sirius steps away and shakes his head. He has to do this. He reminds himself that he has to do this, for Remus.Â
Sirius suddenly wishes they were anywhere but here, on top of the Astronomy Tower. This is where Sirius kissed Remus for the first time. Sirius hates himself. âIâ weââ Sirius breathes out steadily and tries to summon every last bit of feigned courage and overwhelming love he has for Remus. He says, âThis isnât working out. Between us, I mean. We work better as friends, Remus.â His voice is harsh and heâs no longer crying. Sirius finds pretending to be cruel as easy as breathing. Heâs worked so hard for that not to be true but it is. Being cruel is easy for him.
Remus takes a step back. Sirius wishes heâd stop looking at him like that. Remus is looking at him like heâs just put out all the stars in the night sky.Â
Remus blinks and a single tear escapes, streaming down his face. Sirius wants to look away but he canât. Remus is crying because of him. Remus looks completely heartbroken, and Sirius is responsible. Sirius doesnât deserve to look away.
Remus smiles, and his miserable smile is the last blow that makes Siriusâ heart shatter into a million horrible pieces. âSirius, thatâsâ you donât have to apologize for that. I valueââ Remusâ voice breaks. Sirius wants to scream. But he canât. âYouâre my friend before anything else, Sirius. If thatâs what you want.â
It isnât what he wants. Itâs the last thing he wants. âIt is. Iâm sorry, Remus.â
Remus shakes his head, chuckling humorlessly. âPlease, stop apologizing. You have nothing to be sorry for, Sirius. Iâm sorry if I ever made you feelââ
âNo. No, you did nothing wrong, Remus,â Sirius says because he couldnât help himself. âRemus, youâreâ this is not whatââ Sirius tries to breathe but he canât. He closes his eyes and remembers why heâs doing this in the first place. He remembers Walburga storming into his room on the last day of Christmas break with an open letter in her hand.Â
Walburga Black is a lot of thingsâ bigoted, boring, cruel, horribleâ the list goes on and on. But more than anything she is honest. She doesnât bluff. Her warnings are more promises than threats andâ
âSirius?â
Sirius blinks and really looks at Remus. There is no way Walburga Black is going to hurt anyone Sirius loves. Especially not Remus. Not while Sirius is alive. No way. If only Walburga had taken it out on him. If only sheâd done anything else. Anything but hitting Sirius where it hurts, twisting his arm and forcing him to give up the most important thing in his life. Sirius canât say anything. Heâs just staring at Remus. He doesnât have it in him to continue lying at this point.Â
Remus stares back, and his eyes are the most beautiful thing in the universe. He smiles, again. âThatâsâ itâs okay, Sirius. Iâll see you at dinner, yeah?â
Sirius nods. He canât speak, he can barely breathe. He nods again.Â
Remus leaves, and Sirius is alone. But Remus is safe, and thatâs what matters, Siriusâ heart be damned.   Â
#tw abuse#tw horrible parents#I kind of hate myself for this#I donât want to write angst BUT THE PARASITES IN ME WANT TO#anyway I truly hate this Iâm sorry#Walburga WHEN I CATCH YOU đ„đ„đ„đ„#I need fluffy sugar sweet wolfstar asap plz and thank u#sirius black#remus lupin#remus x sirius#wolfstar angst#walburga black#my writing

Do you think Sirius did love his mom after all?
Yep! He loved her. He loved her so much and hated himself for it, though he would never admit to it. Or perhaps he never realized he loved her. But yeah, I believe he did. Heâs just so bitter about her. I think he wanted her approval and wanted her to love him. And she did love him but in a cruel wayâa horrible, manipulative, emotionally abusive way.
She nitpicks, insults, criticizes, and then drops a rare bit of praise whether itâs half a smile or her hand lingering on his shoulder, just enough to give him a shred of hope. But heâs never enough and heâll never be enough.

Prompt 8 - Bodyswap AU
@wolfstarmicrofic April 8, word count 1209
CW- Cronic Illness, Child Abuse (Not described, but you know what's happened).
Sirius and Remus regularly bickered. It drove their other friends mad. Remus thought Sirius was a spoilt rich boy brat, and Sirius thought Remus put on how sick he felt because he loved the attention that came with it.Â
The bickering got so bad one day that Remus shoved Sirius, and Sirius shoved him back. James had to come between them and break up the fight. Remusâs eye was swelling shut, and Siriusâs lip had burst open.Â
âI wish you two could walk in each otherâs shoes for a day. Maybe then you wouldnât bicker so much.â They scowled at each other until it was time to go home.Â
Remus awoke the following morning feeling better than heâd ever felt before. He stretched, and nothing hurt. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open onto an elegantly decorated room.Â
âYou are late for breakfast. If you are not presentable at the table in five minutes, there will be consequences!â A woman who wasnât his mother screeched through the door.Â
He got up and opened the ornately carved wardrobe. The clothes inside were not his and most definitely wouldnât fit his tall frame. He rubbed his eyes, grabbed a perfectly ironed shirt and held it up to his body. He used the mirror on the back of the door to see how it looked. He dropped it on the floor. The reflection staring back at him was not his own.Â
Sirius had never slept worse in his life. He felt like he had the flu. His joints ached no matter what position he slept in. The sun shone through too-thin curtains, stopping him from falling back to sleep. A gentle knock came at the door as it slowly opened.Â
âGood morning, darling,â A sweet honey-haired woman cooed at him. âIâve got you tablets and some toast. When youâre ready, Iâve got porridge keeping warm for you. Donât rush, though, my love.â She opened the curtains and planted a kiss in his hair before she walked back out, closing the door behind her.Â
Sirius panicked. Pills? What pills could he possibly need? He jumped out of the unfamiliar bed and rushed into the little bathroom across the hall. He stared at the boy in the mirror above the sink, higher up than he was used to. His hands came to his face, and so did the reflections. He pinched himself hard. It hurt a lot. So he wasnât dreaming.Â
âSweetheart, thereâs a phone call for you.â The womanâs sweet voice called through the door.Â
âC-c-coming,â He stuttered as he stumbled to the door. He took the portable house phone from her and put it to his ear. âHello?â He said into the receiver.Â
âSirius!âÂ
âRemus!â
âWhat the hell is going on?â They said together.Â
âAre you in my house?â Remus asked.
âI think so. Do you have blue striped bedding and a yellow lamp?âÂ
âYes! And do you have a ridiculous wardrobe and an insanely gigantic bed?â
âDoes it have green bedding?â
âYep.â
âOh my god, Remus! What the actual.â Sirius ran his hand through his hair. His fingers came away too quickly. Remusâs hair was a lot shorter than Siriusâs.Â
âYour mum seems like a lot,â Remus tried to make light of it like he always did. âApparently, I was late for breakfast. I didnât even know that was a thing. Now, Iâm meant to be self-studying. Then thereâs a Latin tutor. Sirius, I donât speak Latin!â
âYeah, she doesnât abide laziness. Your mum seems lovely, though. She brought me toast and some pills. What are they for?â Sirius followed Remusâs example.Â
âOh, you need to take them. Believe me. Youâll regret it if you donât.â Remus warned.Â
âSirius, where have you gone?!â Sirius heard his motherâs voice over the phone and flinched.Â
âRemus, you need to hang up now and go do whatever it is you were meant to be doing.â He couldnât help the touch of panic in his voice.Â
âWhat are you on about? Iâm only on the phone.â Remus chuckled back at him. Sirius heard his motherâs heels click against the hardwood flooring.Â
âRemus,â He whispered in a shaky voice. The line went dead.Â
Sirius knew what was about to happen to Remus, and he wished he could take his place. He snatched up the pills off the bedside table and swallowed the lot. This he could do for Remus, at least.
Mrs Lupin beamed at him when he walked into the kitchen.Â
âOh, love. You look a bit pale. Why donât you go snuggle up on the sofa, and Iâll get you some tea? She fussed over him all day, making sure he was comfortable. He had full control over what they watched on the TV, and she never uttered the word homework. He was glad he didnât have to do too much, as his body felt so delicate. Plus, with the bad nightâs sleep, he was exhausted. âHow do you feel about pizza for dinner?â She asked when it began to get late.Â
âYeah, MrsâEr, yeah, mum. That sounds perfect.â He smiled at her.
He asked to go up to his room after theyâd finished eating.Â
âOf course, you can silly. I donât know why youâre even asking. Oh, donât forget to take your evening pills before you go up,â Sirius did as he was told. The stairs were hard to get up. He was out of breath before heâd gotten halfway up.Â
He spent the next hour doing all of Remusâs homework for him. By the end, he just got into bed and passed out.Â
When he woke again, it was morning. His alarm was blaring next to his head, and his emerald sheets were wrapped around him in a tight ball. He could feel the bruises. Sheâd proper walloped him this time. He wondered if Remus had talked back at her.Â
He got ready for breakfast, but before he could leave his room. Regulus came in. And for the first time in years. He hugged Sirius and hurried back out when Walburgaâs shoes clacked across the hallway floor. Monday couldnât come quickly enough.
Remus, for once, got up early and arrived at school before any of his friends. He watched the town car pull up and deposit Sirius and Regulus onto the curb.Â
Regulus hugged Sirius and disappeared off into the building. Sirius and Remus stared at each other. Sirius moved first and gently wrapped his arms around Remus, knowing now how much that body ached and why he needed the extra care the school gave him. Remus gripped him as tight as he could. Heâd had no idea how bad Sirius had it. His parents made their lives look so perfect.Â
Sirius sucked in a breath when Remus squeezed against one of the bruises.Â
âOh, shit, Sirius. Iâm so sorry.â Remus panicked, loosening his hug.Â
âNo, no. Itâs fine, donât worry about it.â Sirius knew how much effort Remus was putting into that hug.Â
âAww, isnât this sweet?â James smirked as he walked up to them. âNice to see you hugging rather than fighting.â Sirius and Remus looked at each other, smiling happily at each other. Finally, they realised there was so much more to each other than they ever could have guessed.  Â

iâm gonna make a statement and the sirius/severus fans might not like this one butâŠ
sirius and severus are very much opposite sides of the same coin.
(before you continue, i would just like to suggest proceeding with caution as i will be mentioning topics such as abuse and bullying).
sirius grew up with wealth and privilege, severus did not. however, itâs heavily implied in canon that they both experienced some form of abuse whether it be mental or physical. gonna sight some sources because iâve had people argue with me over that:
^ as shown above, we get a lot from sirius that suggests the way his motherâs portrait acts is similar to the way she acted in life (although presumably more extreme). furthermore, we get a direct comparison of harryâs childhood house to siriusâ from harry himself, implying thereâs similarities in their treatment and the memories formed in these households.
it was actually much harder to find evidence for severusâ possible abuse, but thereâs definitely signs of neglect. he was obviously poor, so his appearance might just be a reflection of that but the stuff about the arguing and his fatherâs distaste for everything does imply abuse.
^ as shown above, this is actually considered a form of emotional abuse.
ANYWAY, onto my original point! both sirius and severus do negative things, possibly as a result of this abuse:
- severusâ distaste for muggles, stemming from a young age, is arguably because of his father. he joins the death eaters and picks prejudice friends as a result. however, itâs also possible he joined the death eaters to feel powerful, considering itâs implied heâs felt anything but throughout his childhood (and also during hogwarts because of james and sirius). this, obviously, is an awful decision and cannot be justified but itâs always interesting to look deeply into the motives of morally grey characters.
- also, he rejects his surname and creates the title âhalf-blood princeâ which probably suggests bad relations with his father (or maybe he just wanted a cool name, although thatâs not an argument that fits with my yapping).
- sirius similarly seeks power through his constant defiance: he becomes a gryffindor (there is some level of choice during the sorting, remember!), he completely opposes his parents beliefs and was probably only further motivated by their mistreatment considering he ends up disowned. additionally, he seeks out power through bullying in canon. itâs a well known fact that bullies maybe be acting this way due to bad situations in their home life.
arguably, these two guys are acting out in attempt to combat their shitty situations.
FINALLY, in adulthood these two guys seem to be heavily controlled by their past. sirius never got the chance to mature and grieve, stuck in a prison with creatures that literally sucked the happiness and positivity out of him. he was stunted, dealing with his grief and incapable of joining society. instead, he got trapped in his childhood home which was probably full of great memories!! (sarc) he remains impulsive and clearly still holds his childhood grudge against severus.
severusâ only purpose for living was avenging lily (i believe?). he joined dumbledore in attempt to save her, and then just continued to help him when he failed. heâs very clearly burdened by his mistakes and stuck grieving for his past friendship. adding onto that, he canât let go of his anger at the marauders: he takes it out on harry, absolutely jumps at the chance to get sirius âkissedâ and blatantly despises remus.
iâm done! iâm not doing a conclusion because i hate those so⊠enjoy my badly worded ramble? please donât be mean in the comments if you disagree!

Dark AU / @wolfstarmicrofic / 312 words
CW: violence, cruel characters
Remus watches without feeling as Sirius is forced onto his knees, wrists tied behind his back. He breathes heavily, blood dripping down his nose. The corner of his mouth was stained with blood.
âBring him with us,â Remusâs voice calls out and Sirius snarls silently at the other werewolves who move towards him. He directs his expression towards Remus who is standing next to Greyback.
Their expressions are carbon copies of each other and Sirius lets out a sharp, cruel laugh. He had trained Remus well.
Remusâs brow twitches at the abrupt laugh. âDonât make this harder for yourself. Youâve already lost.â
âGo to hell.â Sirius spits blood onto the ground.
Remus gives one curt nod in response.
When someone tries to haul him up, Sirius sinks his teeth into their arm. They cry out in anger and reel their fist back to strike Sirius in the nose again and again. Sirius chokes on another bloody laugh.
Remus does nothing. Sirius knew. He knew something had changed in Remus in the two years that heâd been missing. When they found each other again, he was a shadow of his past self. He kept the same face but the detached expression wasnât his. Those empty, soulless eyes werenât his. Not his Remusâs.
And now the pack was hunting down the purebloods, destroying them one family at a time.
âDonât be difficult, Padfoot.â
âNo.â Sirius shakes his head, struggling to breathe on the ground. âNo. You donât get to call me that anymore. You will never be allowed to call me that again.â His eyes sting and burn with emotion. With betrayal. With grief. With anger. With hatred. With remnants of love.
Remus doesnât even bat an eye. Feels nothing. âAlright, Sirius.â
Greyback places a hand on his arm and Remus turns to walk away. The signal to be silent. His little pet dog.

Every time you want to excuse the bullying Severus faced on the grounds that he called Lily a âMudblood,â remember that Lily had just almost smiled at a guy who was not only actively abusing and mistreating him right in front of the entire school, backed by his group of friends, but was also the same rich brat who, along with his other super-rich friend, laughed at Severus for looking poor. They had no excuse for being actively classist and abusing their socioeconomic status, so I donât know, my dear children, find another excuse because your heroes were pieces of trash, and they couldnât even claim to have suffered trauma to explain their terrible behavior.
#Seriously you complain about racism with a character who is literally HALF-MUGGLE#but you brush aside the classism and abuse of power from James and Sirius#They literally bullied him for being poor and laughed at him for being poor#and for being ugly/unnatractive#wich is nody shaming#like really are you defending them and then claiming yourselves like social justice warriors or something?#how old are you like 12?#damn#severus snape#pro severus snape#pro snape#severus snape fandom#severus snape defense#james potter#anti james potter shoud be called anti classist rich dicks#nobody is gonna make me like you james potter#sirius black#sirius black you posh bastard#sirius black sadistic bitch#lily evans#anti snaters
