These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We're motivated by the scars that we're made of

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We take our places in the dark

And turn our hearts to the stars

Wolfstar Microfic: Darling

Remus and Sirius were sitting in the back of the library studying, much to Sirius’ chagrin. He would have much preferred to be in the back of the stacks snogging, but that wasn’t exactly the way life worked. 

One of these days he would tell Remus how he felt. 

Sometimes Sirius thought he might already know. Sirius caught him staring every so often, and he couldn’t help but wonder if it was because he knew what Sirius was hiding. Did he know how often Sirius thought about him? How he consumed his heart without even meaning to?

“I’m so tired of astronomy,” Sirius muttered under his breath. 

“What was that, darling?” Remus asked, distractedly. 

Both of their heads snapped up at once. 

Remus had never called him that before. Had never called him anything remotely like that. 

They stared at each other. 

“That didn’t- I mean I didn’t- Can we pretend-” Remus attempted, never finishing a single thought. He was blushing furiously.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Sirius could feel himself breaking into a grin. He couldn’t help it. 

Did that mean…? Could it mean…? Well, there was only one way to find out.

Sirius leaned back in his chair. “If you want me to be your darling, I’m all yours,” he drawled, smiling in that way he knew made witches melt. Maybe it would work on wizards too. He’d never tried. But he was very interested in this wizard in particular, so it was worth a shot. And if it didn’t work, he could just say it was a joke. 

Remus’ mouth opened and closed a few times. 

“What are you saying?” he finally asked, bluntly. 

Sirius grinned wickedly. “If you want to go back in the stacks and have your wicked way with me, you’re welcome to, darling.” He raised his eyebrows as an invitation.

Remus slowly smiled, and it was a real, heartwarming sort of thing, no posturing about it. 

“Yeah, okay, if you’re serious,” he said.

“I am always Sirius,” Sirius quipped. Before Remus could roll his eyes, he finished quickly. “But in this case, I’m extra serious, grab your bags and come with me right now.”

He winked at Remus, who had never in his life gotten his books together and stood up faster.

Well this was going to be fun, Sirius thought.

Blanket

It was a quiet, clear night with the winter chill in the air and the waves crashing in the background. 

Sirius’s favorite kind of night. 

Remus joined him on the veranda, handing him a steaming mug of tea and pulling the red knitted blanket over their legs. 

“Can you see it?” Remus asked, settling into Sirius’s side and looking up at the inky blue expanse above them. 

“Yup. Just there,” Sirius said, pointing and drawing the outline of Canis Major with his wand.

“This star is much brighter,” Remus said with a fond smile, poking him in the side.

“Flatterer,” Sirius said.

“Is it working?” Remus wondered, setting his tea down and snuggling closer.

“Of course,” Sirius said, turning his attention to Remus and tipping his chin for a kiss.

Sirius was born as a Star. He was meant to be great, be the best in everything he did. He was meant to be a winner, a conquerer of girls, attractive, good with words, have many abilities. He was raised to be the perfect Heir for the Black Empire.

But that Star was so bright, it shadowed the real Sirius. A flawled boy. The vulnerable one, the imperfect one, the one Sirius himself hated.

Nobody liked this Sirius. They were too busy craving the other. They all looked at the Star. They all look at the shine. They all looked at the beauty. They all look at the brightness.

The Star was the beautiful one, the desired one, the one everyone wanted around or wanted to be. The Star was unstoppable and powerful.

And the real Sirius was behind that. So vulnerable and scared. Would anyone be able to see pass the brightness and see the real Sirius? Even like him?

If not even Sirius himself liked him, then who would? So he let the Star shone and took the spotlight. He personificated the Star so well, he became the Star. So the real Sirius was constantly drowned down. Hidden behind layers and layers of brightness.

''So, what are we doing up here, Ahadi?''

''Why, this is the perfect vantage point to view the antelope, of course!'', exclaimed the male cub in a deliberate, know-it-all tone of voice. ''You see, they always feed in the grasslands, so viewing them from a high place is a must if you want to study them without scaring them away. They use their horns to fight each other, though no one knows why they're curved like that. Which reminds me...''

As they waited for their parents to return, the sound of the morning breeze and the distant rustling of the leaves and grass was adorned by the extensive, information-filled speech of the cub, ocassionally interrupted by his playmate's further questioning, which prompted him to keep talking. It was clear to Uru that Ahadi was barely anything like his father; although they had a certain, serious air about them, Ahadi wasn't apprehensive to being talked to, and it was obvious to her that he was a very intelligent cub. Others would've dismissed his interest in the world around him as boring or arrogant, but Uru was excited and invested in the things he told her about.

''Wow... You know a lot for sure! I want to learn more! What else can you tell me?''

''Ah? Huh... I...''

Suddenly, he was at a loss... Let's just say he wasn't so used to anyone, much less someone the same age as him, be interested in what he had to say.

A drawing I've had to put away for a bit as I've been dealing with sickness and a lot of stress recently :') I've wanted to draw my version of Ahadi and Uru as cubs for the longest time, so here it is! In my version, Ahadi's father is the Selfish Lion seen in The Brightest Star, and Uru is Mohatu's daughter.

After the events that transpire in the book, the Selfish Lion's pride and Mohatu's come to an agreement to join their prides and leave their hostile past behind them, and with them comes the tradition of arranged marriages. However, before either Ahadi or Uru are made aware of what's in store for them, they become friends and develop a strong bond which evolves very naturally into love, so when the time comes, they're not opposed to the idea of becoming King and Queen of the Pridelands.

Ahadi comes across as a bit of a smartypants as a cub, but he's genuinely intelligent and invested in learning around the world around him, which comes from his mother's nurturing of this side of him. Meanwhile, Uru is a strong-willed cub that enjoys scouting with her father, and exploring just like him. I'm looking forward to drawing more of them in the future!

Sirius and Harry relationship is something I love and treasure even if I don't engage with it because I've my own personal bias about them ~😔💜

The reason for "orion the hunter" constellation on Sirius face is because a headcanon I came up with that Black family doesn't choose their children's names, the magic does. Every black member have a constellation or flower tattoo-like somewhere in their bodies.

"the sun is alone but it still shines!"

the sun doesn't shine. it burns. it burns and his flames are full of rage, a rage formed from the injustice of this universe.

have you ever wonder why the sun is even alone in the first place?

no right. its because everything that goes close to him dies.

if a planet gets to close it will be destroyed.

'oh! but then another sun can keep him company!' no. less of a chance. if there where two sun's we would die.

at this point is just a ball of rage and madness. the fire that comes from him representing his rage. now his ability is to burn itself and burn wathever is around.

when you became untouchable, you wont be able to touch.

the brightest stars aren't allways what you think they are. sometimes they just consume himself so it can bring light to the rest..
