And then it's time to reread.

James used to tease Sirius about smoking. He used to say the boy couldn't survive a week without a fag if he's life depended on it. Sirius knew he was trying to make both him and Remus quit the habit, but Sirius wanted to show him anyway.

Except, he didn't make it to the end of the week. He managed two days and lost a bottle of Firewhisky as a result.

"Oh, come on. You can do better than that, Pads," James said.

Those are the words Sirius remembers as he sits in his cell in Azkaban. He should've done better, so much better.

But it seems quitting smoking turned out to be the only thing he did even fairly right. And even that's thanks to Azkaban, the dementors aren't big on dealing fags.

Any new Jily smut that you recommend reading?

hi anon,

This took me a long time... I've seen some great recs already I think. The latest very smutty fic by @wearingaberetinparis Call it what you want is one I'm following along (I'd check out all her fics tbh, it's all amazing) There's one that I've not yet got around to but would still rec by @kay-elle-cee things that haven't happened yet (order Jily)

Lay all your love on me by @athenasparrow (and all her smut is worth checking out btw) Oh and she made the Smut Fairy Collection on AO3.

Absolutely hooked on the bachelorette wip by @tiffanytoms

Also Incoming by @charmsandtealeaves

Nom de plume by @annabtg (just got round to read the last chapter of this wip) and the premise is a lot of fun, and it's going to be incredibly hot (hotter than it already is - v soon i hope ;-) IDK if it's considered NEW, but Room service by @maraudersftw is so good. The sexual tension is insane!

out there... I mean The Reckless now by @mppmaraudergirl is a big rec for jily smut, is it new?! I don't know, it's def newer than the life and times ;-) I think it's temp (at least that's what I hope) down, but @missgryffin has some amazing jily smut (personal fave Secret Keeper, and STOLEN - that last one has excellent flirting and such a good James& Dad Evans talk, that one is not really anything to do with smut but there's something about that one that I need to ramble about it.

« je t’aime »

« je t’aime » sirius whispered down at the baby in the cradle who’s hair spiked up in all directions. « tu es très beau » and harry kicked his feet while sirius danced him around the house. « fière de toi » he gasped when harry finally walked. sirius whispered his love in french to harry. his harry. his beautiful, strong, silly godson.

the first time sirius saw the sunlight in years and all he could think of was his godson. je t’aime. je t’aime. je t’aime. and when he his arms wrapped around harry at last he whispered his mantra into harry’s ear « je t’aime »

and harry smiled.

McGonagall on 1st of September: If there were any points to take, you two would’ve lost them all.

James: How about you give us both ten and then take five?

Sirius: Personally I think the confetti over there deserves at least twenty.

"She's cute, right?" James asks.

He's staring across the room.

Sirius moves his knight on the chess board and follows James' gaze. He laughs when he sees the red-head Lily Evans chatting with her friends on the other side of their common room.

"What?" James asks.

Sirius glances at him.

They're thirteen and it's the first time James really talks about girls. And even if girls and dates and kisses are new and not particularly something Sirius is interested in, he knows the rules. He was taught before he even understood what dating a girl meant.

"She's a Muggleborn," Sirius shrugs as he states the obvious.

"So?"

There's defiance in James voice, it reminds Sirius of the times he used to refer the likes of Lily Evans with much worse vocabulary. It was James and their friends to make him change his ways.

Sirius sighs.

"It's fine by me," he says, honestly. "But I doubt your parents would approve."

James frowns. At first Sirius thinks he's acknowledged the problem and trying to come up with a way to pursuit his crush without his parents ever finding out. And really, how could they, James doesn't have cousins to tell on him.

But it's not that. James looks at him the way he does when he's trying to read deep into his mind. Like James did when they had their first discussions about blood supremacy. Or when Sirius was walking funny after last summer break. He had hurt his back falling down the stairs after an argument with his mother, but that wasn't the sort of thing to discuss with... Anyone really.

James' expression clears, he leans back and makes his move on the chess board.

"Your parents want you to marry a pureblood," James states.

Sirius shrugs.

"Of course. Yours don't?"

"Dad would probably prefer if I'd marry a Muggleborn. She could teach him how to use the Muggle box he bought for warming up food," James says.

Sirius stares at him, and it has nothing to do with the said Muggle device. He'd look more surprised, but he learned to hide his feelings years ago.

He knows James' family thinks Muggleborns can do anything a pureblood can. But it's one thing to treat people equally on the streets, another to break something as holy as the pure bloodline.

Sirius had thought marrying a pureblood was given, a duty, a fact, something every pureblood did. But here he is, looking at the heir of the Potter family - an heir who clearly doesn't follow any of the rules Sirius had been taught since the day he was born.

As Sirius looks at James, he realises it looks like freedom. Not that Sirius even really cares about girls and marriage, but for the first time he sees that James truly has everything. Money, brains, parents who send him sweets and chocolate even when he doesn't ask for it. But more than that, James has options. He can choose his future.

"Are you ok?" James asks bringing Sirius back from his thoughts.

"Yeah." He answers before focusing on the chess board again. "But if I have to marry someone like Carrow and you get to choose, the least you can do is to lose the game!"

His knight eats James' horse.

"Hey, it's not that bad." James says comfortingly and moves his queen out of the way. Then he grins and Sirius knows he's up to no good.

"You can choose too. If you don't want Carrow you can always take one of your cousins," James suggests as sincerely as a mischievous pre-teen can.

The sofa cushion hits James before he has time to dodge, and then the chess pieces fly around as Sirius reaches over the sofa table to James.

When Remus Lupin descends to the Gryffindor common room a few minutes later, his two friends are a messy, wrestling and laughing pile of loosened ties and wrinkled ropes on the floor.

He shakes his head and sits on the sofa after removing a few misplaced chess pieces. He takes a fat book out of his bag and continues his day as if two wrestling thirteen-year-olds in his feet were nothing but an ordinary day.

As he reads Sirius launches from the floor to find a safe haven next to him - James knows better than to bother his reading. When the long haired boy leans his head against Remus' shoulder and shows his tongue at James, something extraordinary happens. Nobody notices, but the corners of Remus Lupin's lips turn into a smile behind his book.

Sirius Black has many things to learn and unlearn during his Hogwarts years. And dating girls - or not dating them - is definitely one of those.

😭😭😭 snuffing out his light😭 And to think that he probably felt so bad and blamed himself for everything that happened, that he didn't even oppose to his sentence.

We don’t talk enough about how every institution Sirius should have been able to put his trust in betrayed him at some point. From his parents to his friends, to the light side he left everything for, to the dark side he would give anything not to be in.

The greatest irony of Sirius, is that for a person who is literally distinguished by his loyalty, a character who let himself be tortured to the brink in Wizarding hell for twelve years simply because he trusted the wrong person, a person whose animagus is literally a dog, is this: He would die, die after being kept in a cage at the urging of Albus Dumbledore and the Order he sacrificed his family for and then murdered by that very family itself. That he’d fall only after he has been utterly ruined by everyone he ever loved, everyone who he should have been able to trust, down to his house elf.

Sirius was 21 years old and lost his entire twenties to Azkaban because even Dumbledore who would bat for reformed Death Eaters and students rearing murderous spiders in his school wouldn’t consider giving him so much as a trial.

Friendly reminder that he wasn’t just locked up in a cell and left there, this was his state of affairs:

“…. he was one of the most heavily guarded in the place, you know. Dementors outside his door day and night.”

And we can infer, considering that he was a barely legal soldier raised in an abusive household that that was not a cakewalk. Dementors are terrifying torture machines even for the well adjusted let alone the traumatised.

It also speaks a lot about why he gives himself to James with such abandon and why no one else will ever hold that position in Sirius’ life. James is the only person to ever to take that love, that trust, that faith and to nurture it, protect it, to worship it. He’s Sirius’ guardian and Sirius’ salvation and Sirius’ font of security. Is it truly such a surprise that Sirius never quite recovers from his death? With James gone, where else could he go?

Sirius was the Brightest Star in the sky and apparently the only thing Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix could agree upon is snuffing out his light.

From 😍 to 😭 in one sentence.

I hope at some point Harry told Sirius that when he was younger he used to dream about flying motorcycles

[jamesandthedog]

James: A broom?! You have to tell Sirius to stop buying dangerous stuff to our baby.

Lily: Why don't you tell him?

James: Because he thinks I'm the cool dad!

Lily: Are you the cool dad?

James: No, but he doesn't need to know that!

Friendly reminder

- Don't repost a creator's work on Tumblr, reblog it

- Ask a creator if you can use their work outside of Tumblr

If you don't know what is reposting, ask the creator. Basically it's a way to share posts here without erasing the creator, whereas when reposting you publish a separate post that is not linked to the original work.

I personally don't mind if you use my work outside of Tumblr as long as you tell me about it, credit me and add a link to my post/Tumblr when possible. And yes, I used to not allow outside use at all.

I found out yesterday that someone is using my text posts in Tiktok with no credits. That sort of behaviour discourages creators from making you more content! And makes me super sad. So, don't do it.
