Hi! I altered your request just a little bit, I hope that’s alright. If you want me to fix anything or write you something else, just let me know. I hope you enjoy it!

(Warnings: swearing, let me know if i missed anything)

“I am so bloody sick of their pranks,” Lily groaned, marching into the dorms. You put down your book, sitting up.

You gave her a sympathetic smile, patting the spot on your bed next to you for her to come sit. “What did they do this time?”

“I just finished transfiguring a few of the second year’s faces and hair back to normal. They were nearly in tears when I found them downstairs. Apparently, Remus found a way to charm jellybeans into a form of polyjuice. Their hair was as white as Dumbledore’s. How they managed to get one of his hairs, I’ll never know.”

“They played that prank on Sirius last week,” you laughed, remembering the tantrum he threw when he couldn’t fix it himself. “It took me ages to figure out how to reverse it. I have to commend Remus on his brewing ability.”

Lily groaned, clearly not sharing your idea of humor on the matter. “I’m a prefect, you know. I can’t always turn a blind eye.”

“Who’s idea was it to use the jellybeans? I thought Remus just used it to get back at Sirius for nicking his chocolate stash.”

“I managed to crack James,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Apparently, it was meant for the Slytherins. There was some kind of mixup, and the second years got a hold of them before they could stop it.”

“Morons,” you mused, shaking your head.

“We need to get them back. They’ve gotten a little out of hand lately, and I don’t fancy being the subject of their next joke.”

You grinned, rubbing your hands together. “What do you have in mind? I’ve got plenty of ideas personally, but I’m open to yours.”

“Think about pranking your boyfriend often?” She asked grinning, her brow raised.

“You think I’m safe just because I’m dating him?” You asked, chuckling. “Even I am not immune to his little games. It pays to be one step ahead.”

Lily sighed, taking your hand in hers. “We’ll have to just come up with something good, then. It’s the full moon in two days, you know.”

“What does that have to do with anything?” You asked, turning your body to face her. “Remus will be preoccupied all day, I assume the boys will be as well. You know how he gets the day before, they’ll probably stick to the dorms so he doesn’t have to exert himself much.”

“Exactly.”

You furrowed your brows in confusion. “What’s your plan?”

You knew that Remus was a werewolf, as did Lily.

It didn’t take long for either of you to figure it out, and Remus reluctantly told you the truth when you confronted him about it and promised you would never tell. You had even offered to swear an Unbreakable Vow, but he declined. You resigned to letting the boys fill you in on what happened when Remus would return to their dorms, knowing they’d be the ones he turned to if he needed someone.

Lily knew that you were an Animagus, too.

She was the one you came to when you began training for it. Each month when Remus would return from the hospital wing, you’d cringe at the sight of his fresh scars. You wondered if there was a way you could help him, beyond brewing Essence of Dittany and visiting him the morning after. There had to be a way you could help him each transformation, something you could do in the moment, and not after. The thought led you to your training, which you eventually had to confide in Lily about so that she could help you.

Surprisingly, she was very helpful about it. She did scold you, and berate you about how dangerous and not to mention illegal it was. But she wanted to help Remus, too, so she agreed to help you.

What you didn’t know was that the boys beat you to the idea. They had already begun accompanying Remus on full moons, a fact that Lily discovered for herself. She was just that clever, putting together the pieces before anyone else.

The nicknames they openly called themselves may have had something to do with that.

The boys becoming Animagi probably eased her reaction when she discovered you were also training to become one. She had by then done some research on the topic herself, helping you with the final stages.

Together, you finished the trials, and you finally took the form of a wolf. Ironic, considering what had inspired you to begin training in the first place. You had yet to follow Remus to the Shrieking Shack on a full moon, figuring going alone probably wasn’t the best idea. You hadn’t quite figured out how to tell him or your friends about it, figuring they would think the idea was insane.

It was a wonder they had somehow managed to hide the fact from you that they had already done it themselves. You’d figure it out later, and have the opportunity to scold your friends and your boyfriend for not including you.

But for now, Lily was the only one who knew the whole truth.

And she would use it to her advantage. What better way to get back at her friends would there be, than to scare the shit out of them in their own dorm?

“I have a plan,” she smirked, giving you an uneasy feeling. “Not on the full moon, of course. I’m not reckless in the way they have been recently. But if they have a wolf, I think it’s time we use ours.”

Your eyes widened at her words, and you shook your head. “Are you mad? You want me to show the boys that I can turn into a wolf at will? Don’t you think they’ll wonder where I learned how to do that?”

“Oh, come on. There’s no harm in it. They won’t tell anyone, I promise. I wouldn’t suggest it if I thought they would react badly. Trust me on this.”

“Are you sure?” You sighed, your voice less than confident. “I’m not so sure Sirius will fancy the idea of his girlfriend turning into a giant beast.”

Lily grinned, disagreeing. “I have a feeling he’ll be very open to the idea. You practically have him on a leash. Where you go, he follows. It’ll be fine.”

You missed how she tried not to laugh at her own joke, and you stood, finally agreeing.

“Alright! How do we do this? Alone, right? I’d prefer scaring the shit out of them without other people seeing.”

“Tomorrow night, just after dinner starts. We go eat, and hurry back here before them. We’ll say you aren’t feeling well or something, and tell Sirius you’ll wait for him in his room. Their dorm will be empty, I’ll make sure of it, and they’ll be the only ones coming back so early. You sneak in and wait for them, I’ll come down and make a big fuss. They’ll rush up, and you scare them. Easy enough, right?”

You looked at her warily, both impressed and terrified by her plan. “You’re fucking scary, you know that? I’d hate to see what you and those idiots could come up with if you put your mind to it. It’s a good thing you don’t ever join them.”

“Never have, and I never will,” she mused, grinning at you. “But I’ll join you. It’s about time they got a taste of their own medicine.”

—

The next evening, as planned, you excused yourself from dinner. You made sure Remus’s plate was loaded up so that he ate enough to keep his strength up, and then you stood, pressing a kiss to the top of Sirius’s head.

“I think I’m gonna go lie down a bit,” you said, smoothing your hand over his hair.

Sirius turned around, looking concerned. “Are you alright, love?”

You smiled, reassuring him. “I’m fine. Just a little tired. Mind if I lay down in your dorm for a bit? Some of the girls are in mine and they’re always quite loud after dinner.”

He nodded, running a comforting hand up and down your arm. “Of course, darling. Do you want me to come up with you?”

Your eyes softened as you looked down at him, almost regretting the prank you were about to pull. But as your eyes met Lily’s, she reminded you of the plan, and you shook off the feeling.

“No, it’s fine, stay and eat,” you said, squeezing his shoulder. “Lily, would you mind coming with me, though? I wanted to ask about the Potions lesson today, I think I missed some of the notes.”

Lily nodded, standing up. “I’m finished anyways. Come along, darling.”

She linked her arm with yours, leading you away from the table and out of the Great Hall. As soon as you were out of sight, you snickered together, rushing for the dorms.

“Get up there quickly,” she said, ushering you through the portrait entrance. “Sirius seems rather worried about you, the lovesick git. He chooses now to be a good boyfriend?”

“He‘s always a good boyfriend,” you laughed, heading up the stairs to the boys dorm.

“Yes,” she agreed, playfully rolling her eyes. “It’s sickening at times. Now hurry up, before he decides to come back and do something sweet and ruin it all.”

You nodded, quickly pushing open the door to the boys dorm, closing the door behind Lily. You looked around the room once you both were in, and Lily’s eyes widened in shock.

“Merlin, they’re messy,” Lily gasped, bending down to pick up stray items of clothing and pieces of parchment.

You snickered as she tried to clean. “I’d be careful what you touch, love. You don't know where all this shit has been.”

She grimaced, quickly dropping everything in her hands. She took her wand out of her pocket, casting a cleaning spell. You watched as everything on the floor hovered in the air, before categorizing itself either onto a bed, bag, or in the bin.

“I casted a listening charm in the common room, we’ll be able to hear when they come in.”

“I’d probably be able to hear it, anyways. Wolf hearing and all,” you thought out loud.

Lily nodded, turning to you. “Alright, let’s see it. Do your thing.”

“Where do you want me?”

Lily thought a moment, before shrugging. “It doesn’t matter, I don’t think. A wolf in any part of their room will freak them out…although maybe you should sit on James’s bed. Something tells me he’d scream the loudest.”

You laughed, nodding. “See you in a bit, then.”

Without another word, you shifted into your wolf form, now on four legs. You stood tall, bowing to stretch as you got used to being in this form.

Lily nearly gasped when you finished, looking at you with wide eyes. “I nearly forgot how big you are like that. Of course you’re black, too. You match your boyfriend. Why am I surprised?”

You huffed, jumping up on Sirius’s bed. You sat on the edge of it, laying down. Lily came over to stand next to you, running a hand along the fur on your spine.

“You really are scary, you know. I think James is going to cry.”

You wished you could laugh, turning to nuzzle your head into her hand. Suddenly, Lily perked up, heading to the door.

“They’re coming! Get down, stand right here behind the door. I’ll corral them all in here, and shut the door so they can’t get out. Do try to not get hexed, I’ll do my best to make sure that doesn’t happen. Be right back!”

She opened the door, feigning terror. She let out a scream, bounding down the stairs.

“James!” You could hear her call. “Sirius, Remus! Someone help!”

“What is it?” A unison of voices said, and then there were footsteps bounding up the stairs.

You took the sound as your cue to hide, stepping behind the door so you couldn’t be seen at first. The door was pushed open, and one by one, the boys filed in. They all stopped in their tracks, looking at each other confused. Lily closed the door behind them, standing against it so they couldn’t leave.

“Lily, there’s nothing in he—“

Remus was cut off by a low growl, and the boys turned to see you stalk closer to them from the side of the room. James let out a yelp, clambering to climb up onto his bed.

“What the fuck?” James screamed, nearly shaking on the bed. “It’s humongous.”

“Is that…that’s a…it’s a…,” Sirius stuttered, before Remus grabbed his shoulder, pulling him behind him.

“A wolf.”

“A werewolf or a wolf wolf?” James asked, and Sirius scoffed from behind Remus.

“Don’t be daft, James. Werewolves can’t just turn at will, not like this. And it’s not a full moon yet.”

“That’s not what I look like is it?” Remus asked, looking down at you cautiously.

“Where’s Y/N?” Sirius asked, frantically looking around. “Wasn’t she up here with you?”

You had yet to move, looking between your friends. From the door, Lily was trying to hide her snickers. You huffed out a breath, taking a slow step forward. All three boys let out a squeal, stepping back.

Lily rolled her eyes, taking a step towards you. “Not very brave, for a bunch of Gryffindors.”

“Lily, no!” James yelled, jumping down from the bed. You let out a growl at him, making him hesitate. He tried to step forward again, but Sirius held an arm out across his chest, holding him back.

“Sirius!” James argued, but Sirius wouldn’t relent.

“Just wait!” Sirius said, looking at you with curious eyes. “Evans…keep going.”

Lily nodded, slowly approaching you with an extended hand. You feigned interest, sniffing her hand. After a minute, you nuzzled her hand with your snout. She let out a giggle, running her hand through your hair, reaching up to scratch behind your ears.

“Is Lily petting a fucking wolf?” Remus asked, looking back at his friends. “Am I going mad?”

“If you’re mad, then I’m batshit crazy for this,” Sirius said, slowly approaching you. “Please don’t bite me, please don’t bite me…”

His voice trailed off as he crouched down in front of you, letting you sniff his hand. He avoided your gaze, his hand slightly shaking with fear. You decided you had stalled long enough, flexing your paws. Suddenly, you leaped, landing on Sirius and knocking him to the ground. You pinned him to the floor under you, hovering your face just above his.

“Fuck!” Remus said, reaching for his wand.

James had already drawn his, moving to stun you, when Lily stood in between you and them to block you.

“Don’t!” She said, drawing her own wand. “Don’t hurt it.”

“Are you mad? It’s on top of Sirius right now, move,” Remus said, trying to reach around her. “Lily, this isn’t funny.”

“If we aren’t going to do something about it ourselves, then we need help. I’m going to get a professor,” James said, headed for the door.

“No need, boys,” Sirius called up from the floor. “I think I’ve got it handled.”

Lily moved out of the way to reveal Sirius on the floor, with you resting flat against his chest. The boys looked at him stunned, and Sirius was reluctant to move under you.

“We may need a professor to help get you out,” Sirius said, smoothing a hand down your fur. “But I think it’s safe to say you aren’t going to kill me.”

Lily whistled, and you climbed off Sirius’s chest, moving to stand beside her. She gave you a look, and you took that as a sign, slowly shifting back into your regular form. You stretched once fully stood, smoothing down your clothes.

Sirius gaped up at you from the floor. “Y/N?”

“What the fuck is going on?” James asked, pushing his way out from behind Remus. “How did you do that?”

“She’s an Animagus,” Remus realized, nearly grinning. “And a wolf. Ironic, isn’t it? Should I feel flattered, Y/N? Do you love me?”

He drew out the ‘o’ in love, making you laugh. Sirius looked between the two of you with wide eyes, flustered. You cooed at him, reaching for his hand. He begrudgingly let you take it.

“I hate to disappoint you, Remus, but I’m not in love with you. I am loyal to you, though. A bit protective. I suppose that had something to do with it. I didn’t choose my form, you know. It just happened. It’s like a patronus.”

Lily let out a small gasp, smirking in realization as she looked at Sirius. “Sirius…the wolf is akin to the dog, is it not? I wonder what your thoughts are on the matter.”

James visibly paled, trying and failing to hide his shock as he put the pieces together. Lily knew. But how?

Sirius was beginning to wonder the same thing. “James, you dickhead! Why’d you tell her?”

“I didn’t tell her anything!” James exclaimed, raising his hands in surrender. “I don’t know how she knows!”

You looked between your friends with a confused look on your face, piping in. “Know what? What’s going on?”

“You figured it out, didn’t you?” Remus smirked, interrupting the bickering between the boys. “Nicely done, Evans.”

“Thank you,” she curtsied, grinning at the confused look on the rest of her friends' faces.

It was your turn to figure it out as your eyes widened in shock. “Holy shit! You’re all Animagi, too. How didn’t I figure that out sooner? It’s obvious, now that I’m thinking about it.”

“I didn’t know you were one,” James said, shrugging. “I don’t think it was that obvious.”

“That’s because you can’t keep your eyes off Lily long enough to notice much of anything,” you mused, making your friends snicker.

“Alright, I think that was a success,” Lily said, clapping her hands together. “Let’s go, boys. I’ll explain the rest.”

James and Remus nodded, heading for the door. Lily gave you a smile, following them as they filed out. You could hear her teasing James, stifling a laugh while he was still in earshot.

“That scream was truly something. How very valiant of you, James,” Lily said, smirking. “My hero.”

James groaned, the sound of his voice quieting down the further away he got. “Forgive me for not jumping into action at the sight of a fucking wolf in my room.”

You shut the door as their voices drifted away, turning back to Sirius. You narrowed your eyes at him, slapping him across the arm.

“What was that for?” He whined, clutching his arm.

“For not telling me you’re an Animagus!”

“You didn’t tell me you’re one, either,” he pouted, still rubbing at his arm.

“Don’t be a baby,” you said, rolling your eyes before bending down to place a quick kiss to the spot you hit. “I didn’t tell you because I haven’t worked up to going outside yet. You’ve all been going with Remus for months, haven’t you?”

Sirius gave you a sheepish look, nodding.

You groaned, shaking your head. “Your form is a dog, I suppose? I guess the nickname Padfoot is actually clever, then.”

“It is a dog. Ironic, I know. When did you start training?”

You thought for a moment, pondering. “A few months. Three, maybe?”

“Smart girl. It took me six,” he said, grinning. “I’m flattered, by the way.”

You furrowed your brows at his words. “Flattered?”

“Your form matches mine, you took after me since mine was established first. It isn’t because you’re loyal to a wolf, and therefore a wolf yourself. It’s because you’re loyal to me. We’re alike.”

You could feel yourself flush at his words, smiling. “So, you saw me. Do I get to see you?”

Sirius grinned, before quickly shifting into his form. You smiled as a wiry black shaggy dog appeared in front of you, with fur as unruly as Sirius’s hair could be. Padfoot was quite adorable, but also slightly terrifying. You had that in common.

You ran a hand along his fur, noting the black sheen of his coat. “We match.”

Sirius shifted back into himself, taking a seat on his bed. He held a hand out for you, pulling you to sit beside him.

“You might be cuter as a dog,” you mused.

He playfully nudged you in the ribs, shaking his head. “You’re insufferable, darling.”

“Hush,” you said, grinning at him before grabbing his hand. “You told James to stop. You let Lily approach me, having no idea whether she’d be attacked or not. Why?”

He was quiet for a moment, scanning your face as he gave you a small smile. “Your eyes.”

“What?”

“You have the same eyes as the wolf. I could see you in them.”

You smiled at him, pressing a kiss to his shoulder as you squeezed his hand. He squeezed back, letting his head rest against your shoulder.

“We’re gonna have to come up with a nickname for you," he murmured. “I suppose you’re going to want to come with us on full moons now, aren’t you?

You chuckled, nodding. “You won’t be able to stop me, love.”

Shy!reader skipping one of Sirius’s quidditch matches cause they’re having insecurity about whether or not they are good enough to be with Sirius cause someone said something about the personality difference etc.

ily🤟

ily too ! i implied a personality difference more than i outright said it, i hope that's alright :) also this is based off of my crippling fear of cheering at sporting events because it never sounds right when it comes from my mouth

Sirius finds you in the library, crouched by a pile of books and poking through a bottom shelf. It looks like you're researching astronomy, he gathers, from the titles he sees.

Your fingers hook around the spine of Prominent Constellations of the Modern World, and he wonders why you're digging through old discoveries.

You don't see him standing over you as you peel the cover open, flipping through each page that's alphabetized by constellation name. He sees you skid to a halt at a 'C's, then- oh.

You've opened to Canis Major, fingers skimming over the page until your pointer reaches Sirius.

"Not as pretty as I am," He drawls, crouching to hug you from behind and chuckling warmly at your shocked squeal. You'd recognize his voice anywhere, but you hadn't been expecting it, so it still frightens you.

"You scared me!" You gush, face turned to the side to stare at him where his chin perches on your shoulder, "You're the worst."

"No," He bumps his nose into yours, "I'm the best. I won today's match, y'know? Well, I mean, 'didn't catch the snitch, but I knocked Ravenclaw's seeker out of the way so our guy could."

"Good job, Siri," You croon, eyes dimming at the mention of the match, "I.. I know I said I would come, I just.. I got nervous."

"Nervous? Why," He unlocks his arms from around your torso, falling back onto his butt with a grunt, "Y'know, I'm not aiming to hit you with the bat, darling. Just the bludgers."

"I'm not worried you'll clobber me," You giggle, the dusty book still propped open to his own star in your lap, "I just.. I'm not very supportive at your games, am I?"

He cocks his head to one side, "Supportive? Um, you're there, aren't you? That's pretty supportive."

"But I don't cheer," You sigh sadly, "I.. I don't even think I know how. Shouting seems.. weird. I clap," You promise, reaching for his hand and spinning one of his smooth rings around his finger, "You know I clap, I just.. I think I'd mess up if I tried cheering with everyone. And- and I don't want to come and not cheer! 'Cause then I look grumpy, and your girlfriend shouldn't be grumpy at your game."

"You can't mess up a cheer," Sirius laughs, squeezing your fingers with his own, "That's silly, love. But if it makes you nervous, you don't need to come."

"Yes I do," You lament, "I- I like the games! I really do, it's just.. I feel sort of out of place, y'know? I'm not exactly the sports bunny. Broom.. bunny?"

Your nose scrunches at the way the phrase falls off of your tongue, and it makes you look rather like the animal itself. Sirius leans in to kiss it with a fond smile, letting his forehead rest against yours and his breath fan over your face.

"You can come if you want," He reasons, "And if you don't want to, then don't. 'S not any more complicated than that, love. And besides, 'm not gonna be deprived of cheering. Prongs cheers louder than the entire stadium, and he's the one they're cheering for."

You know it's true. The curly-haired chaser has a habit of hyping up his team, whether they want him to or not. James could surely fill any gaps in enthusiasm that you can't.

"If you want to come, you can sit with Lily and Remus," Sirius plays with your ring now, one he'd given you from his own collection, "They usually sit and chatter in the stands. But if you want to stay back and read, or study, or stare at my picture," He brushes a hand over the book you've got open, and he practically feels the heat radiating from your cheeks, "Then that's fine, too. James will give you a second-by-second rehash of every move in the game, you know that."

He's done it before. He even tries doing it to people who were at the games, regaling them with the story of how he'd scored enough goals to make the Hufflepuff chaser sick to her stomach. Twenty minutes ago. In front of them.

"In fact," Sirius glances at the time, seeing it hasn't been too long since he'd gotten there, "I'm sure that's what he's doing now. If we rush to the common room you might be able to hear about how Peters took a nosedive 'cause a bee was in his face."

That tempts you off the ground and Sirius rushes with you for the exit, silently apologizing to Madam Pince who will be very upset about the stack of books left abandoned in the aisle. But he'd rather die than stop you now to put them away, not when there's an eager glint in your eyes and your hand is gripping his with a fervor.

"Come on, Siri," You drag him to the common room, voice made up of giggles and gushes, "I want to see him reenact it!"

Everything is fine? Do you still write for this blog? I would like to request Alpheratz and Sirius (separately) in some cute/domestic situation with the reader. Gn would be good. Thank you, be well 🩷

Cozy Moments: Alpheratz and Sirius

Pairing: Alpheratz & Sirius x gn!reader (separately)

Warnings: none!

A/N: so it's been 3 months... I'm really sorry!! And everything is fine, thank you for asking🫶🏻 hope it's good enough even though I took all this time to post it😭

Alpheratz

Imagine a lazy afternoon in the cozy confines of Alpheratz's quarters. The air is filled with the gentle hum of magic, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. You find yourself nestled comfortably beside Alpheratz, his brown hair illuminated by the soft glow of the room's enchantments.

With a contented sigh, you lean into his side, feeling his warmth seeping into your own. Alpheratz, ever the master of relaxation, is lounging effortlessly on a plush sofa, a book of ancient spells forgotten in his lap as he dozes off into a peaceful slumber.

Despite his usual stoic demeanor, his defenses seem to melt away in these quiet moments, revealing the softer, more vulnerable side of the First Sorcerer of Andromeda. As you watch him sleep, a small smile tugs at the corners of your lips, filled with a sense of contentment that only his presence can bring.

Outside, the world may be filled with chaos and uncertainty, but here in this moment, with Alpheratz by your side, everything feels right.

Sirius

Picture this: A tranquil evening bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, where the gentle rustle of pages turning fills the air. You find yourself nestled comfortably beside Sirius, the enigmatic First Sorcerer of Canis Major, in the cozy confines of his quarters.

With a serene smile gracing his ever-changing eyes, Sirius reclines against a pile of plush cushions, a book of ancient tales cradled in his hands. As you watch him read, his holographic hair catching the flickering light, a sense of peace washes over you, enveloping you in a comforting embrace.

Lost in the quiet intimacy of the moment, you find yourself drawn to Sirius, the barriers between you melting away with each shared breath. In his presence, you feel safe, as if the world beyond his quarters ceases to exist, leaving only the two of you in a world of your own.

As the evening stretches on, you revel in the simplicity of being together, the warmth of Sirius's presence wrapping around you like a cocoon. And as the night draws to a close, you realize that in Sirius's arms, you have found a sanctuary, a place where love and magic intertwine to create something truly extraordinary.

The Brightest Star Written for @hinnymicrofic - April Prompt 28: Star (660 words) Read expanded version on AO3

The Burrow was silent, all tucked in for the night. But Ginny knew Harry hadn’t gone to bed. Knew he wasn’t even inside the house. She could recognize his footsteps anywhere.

She found him just outside the orchard, laying on his back in the grass — his eyes staring up at the stars above. It wasn’t an unusual sight…in fact it had become quite common, ever since Hermione had gifted him that book about constellations for Christmas. But Ginny never got over the way he looked in the starlight — his face glowing, his eyes shimmering.

“Hey,” she said, her soft voice carrying a little in the stillness of the winter night.

He started a little, his hand reaching instinctively for the wand that lay beside him, but he relaxed immediately when his eyes settled into hers.

“Hey,” he answered quietly, smiling a little as he looked at her.

Ginny was beside him in an instant, nestling her head against his warm chest. “Which stars are you watching tonight?” she asked him.

His arms settled around her, holding her close against him, and her heart fluttered a little as she breathed in the scent of his cologne. “Same one as always,” he said softly.

Ginny twisted in his arms, turning to look at him. “Care to share, Potter?” she implored.

He smiled faintly and reached for his wand, muttering an incantation. When she looked up, Ginny saw a red beam of light shining against the canopy of stars. He moved his wand slowly, trailing the red light along a familiar constellation.

“That’s Orion,” he said slowly. “And this down here…this is Canis Major. It’s a dog. And this star right here—” he drew a circle around a particular star with the red light. “—that’s Sirius. It’s—” his voice caught a little in his throat “—it’s apparently the brightest star of them all. The brightest star in the whole sky.”

Ginny’s heart melted as understanding washed over her. “I didn’t know he was named after a star,” she said quietly.

Harry nodded a little. “You always were rubbish at Astronomy,” he joked, though his voice still sounded strained.

Ginny watched him for a moment, sitting in silence with him as he set his wand aside and returned his gaze to the sky. She reached down, brushing her fingers over the side of his face. When he looked at her, she could see the sadness that lingered in his eyes — the sadness he still tried to hide from the world, from everyone else in her family, but not from Ginny. Never from Ginny. With her, he was never anything but himself.

“He’d be really proud of you, Harry,” she said gently. “You know that, don’t you?”

He stared back at her for a long moment, before he slowly nodded his head. “Yeah,” he said. “Yeah…I know…”

And then he smiled again, and his eyes were bright enough to put all the stars to shame. “He liked you a lot, Gin,” he said. “He said you were…spunky.”

Ginny laughed, leaning against him again and quietly reveling in the warmth she felt there, in his arms. “Did he, now?”

“Oh yeah,” Harry chuckled, his hand reaching up to slowly card through her hair. “He was dropping all these hints, I think. About me and you. I didn’t catch on at the time, but…”

He was quiet for a moment, and though Ginny couldn’t see him — she was sure he was gazing up at his godfather’s star once again. “I think he wanted us to get together,” he said softly. “I think he would be really happy that we finally did.”

Ginny smiled, her heart swelling in her chest, and propped herself up to look down at her boyfriend’s face.

His beautiful, dreamy, starlit face.

“There’s something we have in common,” she whispered.

“Yeah,” Harry smiled. “I reckon we—”

But Harry never got to finish that sentence, as Ginny leaned down to silence him with a kiss.

There's something in the stars...

~An Eyeless Jack x Reader oneshot.~

Hello, yes, this is my first ever oneshot... My first ever thing to write, to be honest. I am new to all this, plus English isn't my first language and yada yada yada. I am sorry if this is awkward or not to your liking. I will do my best to improve!

Anyhow

Summary: EJ and you go stargazing! Yippee!

Genre: Fluff, platonic friends (maybe a bit of feelings for each other? Oh?) Also, a little angst, but just a smidge. It's like just a mention, but only because Jack is blind. ;;

It was a quiet night, the wind blowing softly as it carried the scent of the pine trees in the forest. Crickets and toads sang their melodies in between the bushes and ponds, signaling that the night had come.

As they strolled down a path, y/n and Jack looked around, him explaining every single detail he knew about which plants and trees they saw along the trail. They would constantly stop and discuss herbology before they kept walking to their destined place.

A few minutes passed when they reached a clear in the forest. They walked to the middle of it and gently sat down on the grass, Y/N laying down before Jack did, as they both looked at the stars.

"This isn't my forte, you know?" Asked Jack.

"I know. That's why I brought this book about constellations! I may know some basics, but it doesn't hurt to learn a bit more!" Y/N exclaimed cheerily.

Pulling the book out of their backpack, Y/N opened the cover to check the book notes before finding which constellations they wanted to see.

"I suppose you at least know the Ursa Major, no?" They asked, still checking the book's notes on the constellations. "You mean the most common constellation?" Jack replied sarcastically.

Y/N sat up and slowly looked at him, giving him an annoyed look before speaking again, "Jack, please."

"What? Can I not ask?" He replied humorously. "Anyhow, what else does the book say? Does it only talk about superficial stuff?" Jack asked again, "Because there is no way you insisted this much of coming to the clear just to talk about the Big Dipper."

"Of course not!" Y/N replied. "This is the time of the year that the Canis Major appears! I've been meaning to see it for a while now." They spoke excitedly. "Plus, there are other constellations, like Gemini or Monoceros. And..." they checked the book's notes again. "... And Columba, Puppis, Auriga..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. You're a star nerd." Jack laughed. Y/N chuckled with him, playfully hitting his shoulder, "Not a nerd, just passionate."

Jack chuckled softly, his voice a hum more than anything. Y/N cleared their throat before burying their face back on the book before exclaiming again.

"Oh! Camelopardalis is also visible!" Y/N said excitedly, momentarily taking Jack off-guard. "The what now?" He asked once he relaxed. "Camelopardalis, that's Latin for giraffe. It is a constellation named that way because it looks like, well, a giraffe." They chuckled.

Y/N raised their head from the book excitedly, looking up at the clear sky to find the constellation. "Ah, the sky is so clear tonight..." they sighed. "Is it?" Jack asked in a whisper. "Absolutely. I think you would love it." Y/N said, looking at his mask-covered face tenderly.

"Does it, y'know... Does it bother you not being able to see?" Y/N asked, their smile faltering as they wondered why Jack accepted to go stargazing if he was blind. "Not really. I have gotten used to it with time." He muttered nonchalantly. "I think I also don't miss it too much since I compensate it with being able to smell and hear good, I guess."

"Oh, you really do overcompensate..." Y/N whispered, returning to silence for a minute, before whispering.

"Thank you."

"What for?" Jack asked.

"For still wanting to accompany me despite all that... Sometimes, I feel selfish considering... well, what you had to go through." Y/N sighed, looking down as they played with the book's pages. "I appreciate it a lot."

Jack hummed, nodding in approval. He really wasn't a words guy, but he did express himself with small gestures. This was more of a "Don't even mention it" kind of gesture.

They remained in silence for a while, Y/N looking at the book, then up to the sky as they enjoyed this moment of silence. Jack was entranced by the sounds of the forest and the scent the wind carried, listening to the owls, the crickets... Y/N's heartbeat...

They both enjoyed this type of moment, each doing their own thing, just enjoying their quiet company.

"Hey, Jack?" Y/N asked, receiving another hum from his part. "I think it's getting late... Would you like to return to the cabin and drink some tea?"

Jack remained quiet for a second, slightly intimidating Y/N with the mask's blank expression. "Sure. Let's go." He said, then steadily got up, lowering his hand to help Y/N up.

Now, as the night seemed to turn into twilight, they both took the same path back to the cabin Jacked lived in.

Though the day was coming, neither of them felt tired. Y/N didn't because they were enjoying this time with Jack, and despite him also enjoying this time with them, Jack didn't really need sleep. It is a sort of win-win situation in these sorts of occasions.

Back on his cabin, Y/N got the thermos with hot water out of their backpack, along with one cup for them, and a couple of tea bags they knew were to Jack's liking, one for them, and one for him. As they were in his cabin, Jack brought his from the kitchen.

And as the sky turned orange once dawn arrived, they both sat peacefully on the couch, still enjoying each other's quiet company.

I have been summoned :D

Hello!! Thank you for tagging me because I love analyzing so much 😊

First, I’d like to say and warn you that my predictions may be too far-fetched/detailed. Quite literally researched so much to double check my facts and opened a word document to for out my analysis and to plan and space out my thoughts (Get it? Because constellations and all are in space…? Anyway-)

1) We gon’ analyze this from top to bottom. The top two corners of the cover have the same sigil, just inverted. A crescent moon, a star, and a girl. Now, if we were to just scrap the surface of the meaning; The crescent moon is Remus, the star (of the show) is Sirius and of course, the girl is the reader.

But what I find interesting is how you chose the waning crescent moon to represent Remus, instead of the full moon like most people do. The waning crescent moon symbolizes ‘the perfect time to rest and regenerate’. Ironically, the waning crescent moon is one of the first few stages of the moon before it turns full once more.

I’d like to think that you’re representing Remus as his own person. He is a werewolf, yes. However, it doesn’t define him as a whole. That is not all who he is. Not to mention, I love how the moon partially encompasses both the girl and the star.

The latter two are positioned in a way that makes it seem like they find comfort with the moon. The moon has a small opening; it doesn’t confine the star or the girl. Rather, it encourages freedom and independence.

Ergo, Sirius and Reader find comfort with Remus and Remus protects and shelters them in a way (reference example: when Remus calmed Sirius and Reader down from causing trouble with Barty Crouch Jr.). Remus doesn’t restrict neither Sirius nor Reader to be with him. They can come and go as they please, and Remus wouldn’t mind. But the positioning of the girl and the star make it quite obvious that they choose to be with the moon. They want and are drawn to it.

I also want to highlight the fact that the star is practically clinging to the middle of the curve of the crescent moon. Referencing Remus and Sirius’ good relationship (platonically or romantically, take it as you please) and how Sirius is connected to the moon, only because of Remus. However, the girl is sat towards the edge of the crescent moon. Almost as if she’s looking at the moon and the stars. Referencing that Remus and Sirius are not the only reason why she has this connection with the galaxy.

The Reader being a fairy already made that connection and helped her have a natural inclination towards subjects like Divination and Astronomy. I think her being drawn towards our two boys just amplifies it. Moving on!!!

2) The Sun. It’s partially filled in. Maybe it’s nothing. But I feel like it’s something. So I thought, ‘What could possibly block out the Sun?’. Short answer; the Moon. When do the Moon and Sun align together? During a lunar eclipse, werewolves don’t transform apparently. So, perhaps there will be a lunar eclipse to come within the next three remaining chapters? Perhaps a really soft Moony too 🤭.

Suns – There are suns scattered every on the cover. There’s a sun on the crescent of the moon, suns at each corner of the book title. Suns at the bottom. But that’s not just the Sun, but it shows Earth and Mars too. I’m not entirely too sure about the science behind this, but I do know that there will come a point in time the Sun, Earth, Moon and Mars will align together in a straight line, creating the total lunar eclipse. So perhaps, we wouldn’t get a regular eclipse, rather a total one.

Also, the Sun represents life, light, warmth, power, and divinity. This somewhat correlates with the symbolism of the fox. Perhaps this hints that the Reader is the biggest star among the three. Because if the Reader has some sort of correlation with the Milky Way, which contains so many suns, technically that would make her brighter than the brightest star of Canis Major and the moon put together ;)

Not to mention, moonlight is just reflected light from the Sun. Without the light, we wouldn’t be able to see the moon. (I actually have no idea where I’m going with this last paragraph 💀)

3) The constellations; (from left, right then center) Canis Major, Lupus and Vulpecula. All of which represent different animals.

Canis Major is a dog = Sirius

Lupus is a wolf = Remus

Vulpecula is a fox = Reader

Now the first two correlating with each other makes sense. Considering Sirius’ animagus and patronus is a dog, while Remus turns into a werewolf and his patronus is a wolf. (Remus never actually casts a corporeal patronus as to not make people suspicious of him. Poor Moony).

Now the link between the Reader and foxes interests me. My biggest hunch I have right now is that Reader is also an illegal animagus like Sirius. Which would make sense considering a fox is a symbol of spirituality, creation, omens, afterlife, offering wisdom, guidance, protection, nobility, and a sign of good luck to those they encounter them.

And the Reader has proven to show a majority of these traits naturally. How did the Reader become an animagus? In the earliest chapters of this book, I recall that young Reader and Sirius bought a book about animagi. I also faintly recall Reader copying some important pages off the book (most probably the process and preparation for the potion and all).

Next, there is something behind each constellation that represents our beloved main characters. Canis Major and Lupus have the marauders map behind them, representing their involvement with the famous Marauders, the four boys sharing their shared tendency to spread and cause mischief.

The same can be said about Vulpecula, however there is the faint sigil of the Milky Way. The Milky Way symbolizes coming of age and afterlife. Look at that, Vulpecula and the Milky Way share one thing in common in terms of symbolism. The afterlife. I think this correlates back to Reader being a fairy. One of the theories of fairy origins is that they are a representation of the spirits of ancestral dead. ✨ A f T e R l I f E ✨. Reader is about to pull out some serious powers >:D

That’s the suspicion anyway.

4) The moon cycle on the bottom. Initially I thought that it was a regular-degular moon cycle. Then it didn’t make sense because there were some stages that did not make sense. Why choose only certain stages of the moon? And they seemed slightly out of order. That’s when I realized, it was the blood moon cycle. Not a regular one. Plus, with the latest chapter being on the night of the blood moon, it makes sense. According to some resources, werewolves are most dangerous during these blood moons. So, assuming we get a chapter with a lunar eclipse, we would have witness different intensities of Remus’ transformations. I’ll end this here.

Whoever reads this, bless you and your patient soul for sticking through this long with (1230 words if you end at ‘with’). Also I just read the comments and realized that @starchaser-lily also made some points that make me look like I’m copying them… I swear I didn’t read it until I looked at the comments 😭 😭 😭 But you have really good points! Great minds think alike? Idk if I’m helping my case 💀

Have a lovely day and lots of love! ~

I cannot confirm or deny anything but, can I just say….

I freaking love my readers?!? I mean look at this 1k words worth of theories over a single poster that’s so freaking amazing! And son well thought out of and so detailed and ingenious. Like man, this is university worth quality analysis, and for my poster??!? I feel so freaking honored!

And the ATTENTION TO DETAIL holly mother of Merlin so freaking precious. Like all of your freaking theories, you guys are brilliant *cries*!

I literally have the cleverest readers of the whole cosmos! I’m so freaking lucky!

Side note: not sure why you think it’s only three chapters left?? It’s a whole lot more than that, like I’m already working on chapter 26 and the end toll is borderline going to be like 40 chapters so you guys are in for the long run.

I did say it was going to be slow burn, didn’t I?

For those who have no clue what this entire thing it’s about, some of you guys ( @cometsghost @starchaser-lily @moonyunebi and a certain little annon ) were theorizing over on this post about a poster/cover for Gilded Constellations!

The Sirians Masters of Light

“The Sirian's message is, "Be one with the nature, understand the nature and you are one with the universe, one with us and with everything that there is.”

Image art by --Mahaboka

Symbol Source: In Agrippa's second book, this symbol is actually given for Canis Major, the constellation that contains Sirius.

Agrippa is using a medieval source text called De Quindecim Stellis (On the Fifteen Stars) which is attributed to Hermes and is on the magic of the fifteen "fixed" or "Behenian" stars.

time to present myself

Hello! I'm Adhara (also called Adha or Hada).

The name comes from Adhara, the second brightest star of the constellation Canis Major.

I'm a november scorpio, my pronouns are she/her, my adjectives are chaotic/dumbass, and my languages are spanish/english.

I love writing with all my heart, even if it kills me sometimes. I've written several short and longer stories, i have a book to edit, and I'm working on a new one (or maybe just having writer's block).

As much as I love writing, I love reading. Classics are my favorite books, but i enjoy almost everything. (Some of my favorites: The adventures of Tom Sawyer, The picture of Dorian Gray, The Hobbit and LOTR, The black corsair and Robin Hood).

In music, my love goes for rock and some pop, depending on my mood. (Maneskin, AC/DC and ABBA are some of my favorites, but also modern pop artists).

Some fandoms i'm in or movies i like: Star Wars, Harry Potter/Marauders, Lord of the rings, How to train your dragon, Pirates of the Caribbean, Chronicles of Narnia.

In other things, I do archery, photography, baking and crocheting. I'm a curious person so I'm always willing to try new things.

I love dogs and animals with all my soul. I'm a proud german shepherd mom.

Nature, sunsets, long walks, daydreaming, sweets and baked goods, old books, looking at the sky, untied shoelaces, smiling without reason, weird things and more daydreaming. That's kind of my vibe.

You can talk to me freely, I love making new friends and talk about anything! I'm a friendly fox.

Here's my linktree so you can find me anywhere! (follow mee <3)

Hello! Can I request a wlw Genderbent!Seth/MC in a Flower Shop AU?

Thank you so much! Have a great day.

Thank *you* anon for making me so excited to write this, it makes for a perfect combination! Hope you like it, have a great day too!

secret love

"Oop! Alice, sweetie, is that you? Goodness, hand that over to me and stay put while we put the rest of the Civic Center's order in the carriage!"

Before the melodic voice of the florist can reach Alice's ears, it's her hands that register the angelic presence first - as Seth takes the large vase from her, her hands cover hers ever so gently... of course, this is all to ensure the safety of the contains of the vase - many, many white roses, so many, that they'd blocked Alice's vision completely as she attempted to walk out of the shop just now, thus putting her in her current situation where she was a mere second away from bumping into the florist.

Working at the Civic Center, Alice is used to the chaos that comes with the annual banquet, especially now that she's put in charge of decorating the large hall where it takes place. The order for fresh flowers alone is a heavy task, one for which she was provided with help from five red army soldiers who are currently rushing to upload the heavier flowerpots in the carriage waiting outside. But it's the inevitable meeting with the beautiful clerk at Canis Major that sends Alice's heart for a sprint.

Now that the vase, as well as all that remains of the lingering warmth, is taken from Alice's hands, she spends a short moment collecting herself with upwards-turned palms still hanging in the air...

She always remembers Seth like this; holding onto dozens of pretty flowers and easily outshining each and every single one of them.

Her tall frame, her long lashes; the neat ponytail holding her Cornflower Blue hair, everything down to the French tip of her neatly trimmed nails is grace incarnated; the way she puts the vase in the carriage with utter delicateness only to nextly wrap her hands around the wheelbarrow's handles and push so effortlessly where a soldier previously left it at rest to pause for a breather... Uploading the heavy pots into the same carriage a second later without the need for assistance, not letting a single drop of sweat roll down to ruin her perfect image. Something so utterly androgynous and divine about Seth; breathtaking and unable to be put into words. Alice helplessly stares.

"Here, you can take this instead!"

As usual, the flowers blur to uninteresting colorful splotches when Seth holds them, so Alice is left to blush with embarrassment the way she needs to look down to see what exactly is Seth giving her.

"Huh? I don't think this was in the order— Hold on, the list is on me somewhere, let me check—"

"Tut-tut, silly girl! You won't find it on the list. These are for you!"

A flower pot with gardenias.

The book on flower language that Alice bought impulsively last week and totally not while thinking of someone will come in handy. If she reaches home without fainting once, that's it.

Story: Battle strategy cards;‘Stellar Charm’ One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill

‘Angel Casablancas’ and their twin sister ‘Cassidy Casablancas’ are the reigning ‘Stellar Charm Card’ champions of the city. Why? From all the students and inhabitants of the city ‘One Tree Hill’ named after the ominous forest from which the entire town surrounds, the mythos and legends surrounding the condemned huaunted forest and tree upon the top of the highest mountain in the city seems to share a grim tale about a series of suicide that concerned the towns ever budding congregation that used to meet weekly for church gatherings at the foot of the ominous tree at the very top of the ecclesiastical tree, now condemned the fellowship now meets else where disbanded and scattered after the horrific events that were the result of students jumping from the top of the building, tree and mountain falling to the their deaths at the bottom of the city beneath the mountain. Walled off and forbidden territory as the signs and gates proclaim on the walls of the forbidden forest students constantly enter in hopes of finding the lost cards of a popular card game that once reigned within the town. ‘Stellar charm cards was a game of unique personal skill and talents that required one to sing, dance and use personal talents to summon your cards constellations the power from which the cards drew from. Unbeknownst to some of the students and card users, some had more than others and the more you possessed the more powerful you were compared to some who only possed two if only even one. The losers of these card games tragically forced if not pushed to end their lives from jumping to their doom amused the congregation leader who sought posses and collect all the cards. But the two twins, secretly would go from card user to card user in private consoling them and confiding within them in order to collect their card in secret, then adding their card to their book of protection, thereby spearing that student or card user from having to suicide. If one didn’t run the Forest deadly maze a deadly obstacle course of doom and make it out alive then there was no way for one to enter the condemned forest in hopes of connecting with one of the ‘stellar sacred tree’s’ one would find in hopes of connecting their soul with a sacred trees constellation of power. Thus, how the card game was born from the now candy factory that would harvest the strange fruits the trees would produce in order to create their sacred foods the town would consume in order to bring forth the unknown power within them.

Letters of Love pt 2

An elegant cursive in forest green was appearing on the paper:

Potions Essay, 2/18.

Amortentia, known as the potion of love…….

Lily was so confused as to what she was reading. She had expected something along the lines of, “Hi, who are you?”. Not some description of the potions essay that they had due next week. She quickly scribbled, “This isn’t spare parchment! It’s a communicator! I wanted to talk to the next person who checked out my favorite book…..”

She quickly got a response in a less-elegant cursive:

Ughh, now I have to restart my essay. Thanks a lot. I do agree with you though, that book was one of my favorites. I had kept the parchment as a memory of the book, but I ran out of parchment yet wanted to start my potions essay.

Lily was surprised, and quickly wrote back, “Why are you finishing the essay so early? We have another week to do it, and we haven’t learnt all of the material in class yet.”

To which the verdant script replied, “ I have more important matters to attend to, primarily spending my weekend at Hogsmeade, so I’d prefer to have this out of the way. Besides, there was so much DADA homework, so.”

Lily was even more surprised, this person was also in her year - meaning she probably knew them. She quickly scribbled, “Who are you?”, then, “ Actually, let’s use fake names, and try to figure out who the other person is. That’ll liven up my life a bit. “

The mysterious individual replied, “My life doesn’t need much living up, but I’ll humor you.” I’ll be Canis Major.

And Lily decided that she would be Dracaena.

never not thinking about canis & relda's fight in the 5th & 6th books btw

I've said it in another post, but their fight about charming is less about charming himself and more a clear difference in values. canis wants to protect his family above all else and relda wants to help people above all else. there's no way for both of them to get what they want.

the tension between them in the 6th book is just a continuation of this tension, but slightly worse because now neither of them trusts the other's judgement. canis decides 'fine, if relda won't protect our family, I will' and does his best to make sure he - the person he currently views as the biggest threat to the grimms - ends up dead. meanwhile relda decides 'fine, if Mr. Canis won't try to help people in spite of the danger involved, I will' and does her best to get him out of jail without considering the consequences

at the end of both of these books, there's a part where they stop fighting and get back in-sync with each other because there's a bigger threat to face. and this, I think, is why they don't argue at all in the 7th book. there's a war going and they know they can't afford to be arguing with each other

but here's the thing - that underlying tension of 'I can't trust your judgement anymore' is still there. in the 7th book, canis brings up the idea of bringing out the wolf again and relda immediately shuts him down, but then in 9th book he decides he doesn't care what relda thinks is best and tries to unleash the wolf anyway. and you honestly can't tell me canis had no reaction to the fact that relda has repeatedly told him off for trying to give his own autonomy up to protect his family - only to turn around and do the exact same thing herself.

there's so much tension there and I think it'd be interesting to explore in a post-war environment. the question of 'should we help people or focus on our family' still very much hangs in the air and the two of them would have very different answers.

and of course, the tension is made worse by the fact that both of them have put the other on a pedestal for the majority of their relationship.

the books repeatedly state how important relda is to canis - which i wont deny. she's the first person to trust him and give him a second chance, to believe he can be more than a monster. however, i think the fact that canis is equally important to relda is glossed over

like after basil's death, she lost everything. her husband was dead, both her sons were gone, and nobody in town knew what she was going through due to her own actions. plus i imagine knowing that people you consider friends would turn on you in a second doesn't help matters. but canis was there for her when she had no one else. of course she would have rose-tinted glasses when it comes to him.

so the two of them having to actual deal with those differing values and tension instead of ignoring the other's flaws would add an interesting edge to their relationship

The Stars and Padisarahs

Fandom: Genshin Impact Ship: CynoNari

Summary: Cyno calls Tighnari by different nicknames. Tighnari searches the stars for an endearment for Cyno as well. However, he doesn’t know what to choose.

“Master Tighnari, why does Cyno call you a Padisarah?”

“It’s a term of endearment that Cyno uses for me sometimes. People will use such names to express affection for a person. The endearment they choose might have a special meaning or be something more traditional like ‘sweetheart’. Cyno told me that I smell like flowers. I don’t think it’s a noteworthy trait because I work with plants.”

“What is the name you gave Cyno?”

Tighnari had that conversation with Collei a week ago but the question lingered on his mind. He knew Cyno from their time in the Akademiya but they only started dating recently. While he would call him by nicknames like ‘Nari’ or ‘his Padisarah’, Tighnari continued to use his name. They were happy together and he didn’t believe they needed to imitate overly cute couples found in fairy tales. Now, he wondered if it was something important to Cyno.

“Lupus Aureus? Canis Major?” Tighnari listed names out loud and tapped his quill against the paper. Since Cyno gave him an endearment based on flowers, he considered a nickname related to the stars. His silver hair reminded him of the moon and stars that decorated the desert night. In contrast to that, his red eyes were the colour of the sunrise. It was difficult for him to visit the desert but he saw its beauty in Cyno. If only he could find an endearment to express that.

He heard familiar footsteps outside of his hut and stood to greet Cyno. Since he brought Collei to Gandharva Ville, Cyno would visit them more often and see her progress. He tried to keep himself hidden so she wouldn’t be reminded of the sealing ritual but Tighnari knew the moment he entered the forest. He pulled the curtain open and grinned when he saw Cyno on the other side.

“Found you.” Tighnari repeated Cyno’s signature line in a sarcastic tone. He leaned out the window and lightly pushed the hood from Cyno’s head. “For someone who tracks down criminals for a living, I would expect you to be better at hiding. Do you need to return to the Akademiya tonight? You can rest in my room if you have time. I’ll tell you about Collei’s progress since that’s why you came, I predict. There’s coffee too.”

“Coffee has a rough time in your hut. It gets mugged every day.” Cyno said.

“Since you have the time to make jokes, I assume you’ll be staying the night. It’s late so no more jokes like that tonight.”

Tighnari returned to his room and organized the books on his desk to make a space for them. He heard his door open and leaned back in his chair to search for Cyno. The front legs of his chair lifted off the ground and held onto his desk to keep himself from falling backwards. Cyno quickly crossed his hut and placed his hands on the chair. He looked down at him with worry in his red eyes.

There wasn’t a risk of his chair slipping but Tighnari reached up to tangle his fingers into Cyno’s hair. He gently guided his head down until he could feel his lips brush against his. Tighnari missed him and their time apart made him cherish the kiss all the more. He could feel the curve of his lips when Cyno smiled. “I missed my Padisarah. I brought Nilotpala Lotuses for Collei’s medicine and honeyed dates for you.”

“Thank you. The sweets will pair well with coffee.” He said and rocked his chair forward so it was upright again. Tighnari moved to sit in a more comfortable position with his legs tucked under him and his tail over his lap. Nights in Avidya Forest were peaceful and he was grateful that he could share it with Cyno. “Have the Akademiya been giving you too much work again?”

“No more than I can handle.” He reassured him. His job required him to travel often so he liked to give Tighnari gifts to remember him. Cyno sat in the chair across from him and took a sip of the coffee. In the corner of his eyes, he noticed the textbooks Tighnari had set aside. “Astrology books?”

“It’s nothing.” Tighnari blushed and pushed the book out of his sight. They rarely kept secrets from each other so his reaction piqued Cyno’s interest. He used his foot to pull Tighnari’s chair closer to him. Their eyes met and Tighnari couldn’t bring himself to break their gaze despite how flustered he felt. He confessed: “I was searching for an endearment to give you, Cyno.”

Tighnari could hear Cyno’s further confusion from the silence that stretched between them. He plucked a Padisarah from his vase and twirled it between his fingertips. “I feel happy whenever you call me your Padisarah so I thought I should give you an endearment too. I planned to find one before your next visit but this might be better. You can choose what endearment you like, Cyno. Darling? Sweetie?”

He had a direct and curt personality that Cyno liked. They sat in front of each other with their knees touching but he pulled him closer. Cyno took Tighnari’s hand and lightly tugged him forward so he would be on his lap. He hummed loudly as if he were considering each endearment carefully. As he did so, he took the chance to pet his ears.

Finally, Cyno declared: “Cyno. I like when you call me by my name.”

“You don’t want a traditional endearment?”

“Everyone calls me General Mahamatra or Matra. You’re the only one who calls me by my name after the ceremony.” Cyno was dedicated to his job but there were moments it made him feel isolated from his peers in the Akademiya. Tighnari saw him for the person he was and loved him. He picked a stray flower petal from his black hair. “My Padisarah.”

“Cyno.” He whispered his name. Cyno cupped his face and traced his thumb over Tighnari’s lower lip. He loved hearing his name on his lips. Tighnari’s voice was soft yet it also had an assertive tone. “Your nicknames for me are nice but I want you to add one more. When we’re alone, in bed or anywhere else, call me Tighnari.”

“As you wish, my love, my Tighnari.” His endearments were filled with a teasing affection but whenever he used his name, he could hear a deep love in his voice.
