Happy Father’s Day, Wolfstar!

Anyone who reads my fics knows how much I LOVE Wolfstar dads. It’s my absolute favorite thing to write and I do it A LOT, from Let’s Play Pretend to Dear Mr. Black. When I write them as dads, I’m writing myself, my partner, and my own dad, all rolled into one idealized, yet still flawed and funny, version of parenting. They’re everything I hope to be as a parent.

And happy Father’s Day to James Potter, too, of course! Even though I don’t always let you live, I love you so much.

Here are my Wolfstar-as-dads (and once as a grandpa) fics!

Remus Lupin calls Sirius Black baby!! It doesn’t matter that Sirius is 6’5” and 300lbs with a strongman build, covered in tattoos, heavily pierced, and insanely strong (in all ways possible), he is Remus’ baby. He sits on the ground between Remus’ legs and rests on his thighs while he works. He curls up against Remus’ side, arms around his waist, nuzzling into his neck when he feels too vulnerable. He routinely lays on Remus’ lap and silently begs for forehead kisses and praise. Remus refers to Sirius as “baby” in public and then this massive bear of a man walks over and wraps his arms around Remus and pulls him into his chest and people are terrified. But Remus is just like “yeah that’s my baby! Hi baby!” and Sirius kisses his head and calls him the most heart-wrenchingly touching and beautiful names ever… I love them to death omg

"When Sirius first told me he was dating a girl and I was shocked I thought ‘huh this is teaching me something about not making assumptions about people.’ HOWEVER now that Sirius has come out as a gay man I would like everyone to know, I’ve never been wrong. I’m never backing down again. And my assumptions? They are back." -Lily Evans

okay big talk time. in light of the UK Supreme Court ruling, i'm seeing a lot of posts about fandom spaces. i woke up to see a tiktok that says "if you write fanfic, there's blood on your hands too",,, so let's talk about it.

because there is no refuting that fandom spaces keep JKR relevant. there is no refuting that by producing any kind of media based on this franchise, we are engaging with her and we are keeping her universe relevant. we cannot deny that.

we often see people turn around and say "jkr would hateee what we write!" and that's true. that's so very true, but it isn't enough. your headcanons and your stories and your art Are Not Enough. particularly over on tiktok: if you post HP content over on that platform, you are promoting JKR. my existence in this space as a trans man is NOT an act of protest. everything else i do is, so what do we do about that?

we NEED to be talking about these things. about jkr, about her money, about her actions, about the bigotry in the source material, and if you are not in a position where you can have those conversations, then you need to be listening. because engagement with jkr is infact life of death.

and we carry that guilt. we do, of course we do. if you are somebody who hasn't yet been able to let go of this series like me, then we carry that guilt. even more so if you are a member of any of the communities that jkr has harmed - the guilt is heavy.

but,,, let me make one thing clear: this is not your guilt.

if you are not profiting her. directly, then you are carrying guilt that is not yours to carry. that guilt is hers to bear, and the lives we are about to lose are on her conscious. we have been forced, time and time again, to carry the weight of her bigotry.

but,,, we're carrying it. and i think there's a certain amount of guilt that makes us better. i think there's a certain amount of guilt that makes us more conscious human beings, and that makes us more receptive to these discussions.

you can use that guilt, you really can. you can talk. you can listen. you can educate. you can step away if the guilt gets too much. you can use that guilt for something good.

do NOT push it away. whilst it isn't ours to carry, we are not in a position where we can throw that guilt away and wash our hands of it - we are here, we are engaging, we have to accept that. if we simply pretend as though we are not, then all we do is cause harm.

because fandom spaces can do a lot of good, especially for those that jkr has harmed. fandom spaces can do so much good, but only if we are conscious of the ways in which we are engaging, and we are willing to sit and have these difficult conversations.

if i were not in the position i am in now, i would leave. i would leave this fandom space and at this point? i am in fact urging those of you are able to, to go. for your own sakes and the sakes of everyone around you.

but as someone who has been having conversations about JKR for ages? i am in no position to step back. i'm in no position to turn away and give up. not when there are so many people who benefit from these discussions and who benefit from safe spaces.

and the reason it's a safe space? it's because I Talk. because i Have These Discussions. and no matter how much i do, i am still promoting her when i go on to post a headcanon or update my fics. i am still promoting her when i engage in this space.

and there's still guilt.

don't chuck that guilt aside, let it fuel you in making safe spaces safe again.

there is absolutely no refuting that by being in this space we are causing harm. so if you are not in a position to leave this space, here's some things you can do to make it easier for everyone both in and out of it:

Listen. if you are not in a position to talk about JKR, then actively listen. actively listen, understand, process, and adapt.

Merchandise: stop posting your merch, secondhand or not. you know that you get comments asking "where did you get this!?", stop posting it. makes that small adjustment for wider good

Keep educated: on the bigotry in the books so that you aren't perpetuating it, on jkr's actions, on politics. keep educated as much as you can to make sure that you are not unwillingly causing harm in what you are doing

Block: block those who are going to the studios, who are posting merch, who are talking about the reboot, who are doing ANYTHING to support her. if you see a video? comment on it. the continued relevance of people in this space who have supported a bigot is Immense. do not allow for complacency - bigotry is bigotry no matter how many views it gets you.

and above all, hold that guilt. hold it. feel it. utilise it.

and if you are in a position where you can leave this space? then i encourage you to do so. i encourage you to Move On, and find new ventures. i encourage you to do that if you can. and if you can't, then i'll still be here to guide you through it all and keep having these difficult talks.

marlene who always has to have some plans for the day or else she's bored out of her mind

Peeta Mellark was the original empath

So tonks is definitely genderfluid right? We agree with that? I mean purple hair and hates their name? Yeah anyways

Think about Sirius (genderfluid) and regulus (trans man) helping them figure things out when they're a bit older. Ofc Andy and Ted never made their child dress a certain way, they were always allowed to dress how they want. But they never had words for any of it until the brothers came to visit

Remus Lupin is cigarette burns in knitted jumpers, tea stained journals, mismatched socks, late night study sessions and unfinished poety about the stars

rosekiller are the biggest girl dads and no one can change my mind

[yippymaylee]

been thinking a lot about how underused boarding school is in this fandom, they all LIVED with each other from 11-18, like the sheer amount of tropes and situations you can take from this is amazing. dorm parties? the first year who smells weed and starts crying, sneaking people into rooms, climbing out of bathrooms to smoke, practically doing the splits in-front of teachers to distract them from the fact that your entire dorm is MIA for role call. guys! they’re all out of touch teenagers with too much money and freedom!! think about what they would be doing!!!

jerk - @rosekillermicrofic - NSFW - word count: 170

"So, Emma broke up with me today," Barty said casually, straddling Evan on the couch in the sitting room of their flat and beginning to slowly kiss his jawline.

"What? Why?" the taller man asked, quickly throwing his phone to the side, and grabbing Barty's waist, thumbs pushing the hem of his shirt up so they could press against bare skin.

"Fucking called me a jerk," Barty mumbled as he sucked a mark into the already-mottled flesh of Evan's neck. "Said I cheated."

"Stupid. Who would you even cheat with?" Evan hissed between little moans, gripping Barty's waist tighter. "S'not like any other girls are interested in you."

"Ha! Get this," the shorter man rolled his eyes, pulling back and undoing the buttons of Evan's shirt. "She said I cheated with you! Just because we sleep together."

Evan, already undoing the Barty's belt, let out a bark of a laugh. "Idiot," he replied calmly. "It's not cheating if neither of us is gay."

"Exactly," Barty nodded, crashing their lips together.
