#the tension way that Wolfstarbucks has

[wingsmadeforflying]

Co-dependent Marauders.

Marauders who are so tightly knit after living in the same boarding room for years that they get a townhome or flat after they graduate (despite Sirius and James definitely being able to buy their own place)

Sirius and James who almost always have to be within eyeline of each other else they'll get fidgety and restless.

Sirius and Remus are similarly attached, but need physical contact every few minutes and will start seeking each other out subconsciously.

Peter needing reassurance he's a part of the group - it's hard to exist in the intense relationships that are Remus and Sirius and James.

James constantly worrying over everyone, a silent agreement of a curfew being made to soothe him.

Cuddle piles occuring at least once a week. Any longer and a fight will break out or someone will start crying. Subconsciously knowing it's been too long.

Sirius sleeping in everyone's bed, maybe sleeping in his own twice a week. One-night stands are generally a no-go in their house.

The fear of change when Sirius and Remus get together. When Peter gets a girlfriend. When James gets married.

They reassure each other it'll be the same. They'll be the same.

It never is but they try their best. Fights happen more often, tensions high when people first start moving out. But they come back together eventually, they're stuck together by an immeasurable force. A solar system.

They'll be ok.

#Peter who gets more and more lonely #coming back every now and again between girlfriends #eventually tearing himself from the group #leaving behind bits and pieces of himself #bleeding out to his core. #also they DEFINITELY had at least a threesome. #tone shift but. #idk how Peter would fit in he's never been. that way #the tension way that Wolfstarbucks has #he honestly probably watched if anything #BUT IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE #my toxic Marauders. #marauders #longer form writing #co-dependent #wolfstar #james potter #petter pettigrew

How many works do you have on AO3?

106 total.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just HP!

A. Step & Repeat - Wolfstar, Celebrity Sirius fake dating AU, Rated M, 62k words

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Omg 🫥. I do.... sometimes. I really, really love comments, and I need to be better about responding to them! It's a mixture of social anxiety and savoring them that leads me to not responding, and then I wonder if it's too late to respond, and then they stack up, and then I'm anxious over how many there are and I just.... never repsond. i try to repsond to at least some of the, but I'm very anxious about how many unresponded comments I have. (My inbox currently sits at 1136, and I've cleared it out before.)

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Dusk. However, i have 2 more in the works that (assuming I ever finish them) may be worse.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics have a happy ending, so I'm not sure what the MOST happy ending was. Maybe Save the Groom? I can't imagine STG James being any happier than he is in that epilogue.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Occasionally. It's rarely hate but I do occasionally get dissatisfaction, like "i don't like the way you ended this" or "I read the side along you wrote and I'm no longer interested in the main story" which is weird to get.

9. Do you write smut. If so, what kind?

Lol, yes, and.... all kinds? Honestly, what does that mean. I've written MM, MF, and FF. Also Multi (though mostly MMM+). I've also written both vanilla and kink?

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

NOPE. Not something that really interests me, tbh.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of, but I wouldn't be surprised.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've had a couple of people ask, but no one who has delivered on it. or at least no one who tagged me the way I asked them to if they did it.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Yes, a few! I'm actually very fond of cowriting. Quietlemonhush and I have been working on cowriting more, and I adore working with him.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I've gotta go with my Wolfstar boys. 💖

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doublt you ever will?

I'm not ready to call anything that's posted now and a WIP abandoned (though I know I occasionally get comments calling things abandoned). I think it's probably unlikely that I ever write my Voldy Wins AU at this point because I've been sitting on it for 2 years at this point, but it was never posted.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Worldbuilding and tension building, I think.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Sticking to a plan. 🤣

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've done it before, and I'm not a huge fan, tbh. I probably won't do it again unless I have a cowriter who is fluent. It's a pain if you don't know the language, and there's no way to really build the dialogue as you would in a language you know.

19. First Fandom you wrote for?

HP, but make it Hinny.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

Oh, gosh. I think maybe The Way We Fall. Ask me next week and that will be different.

WSB unfinished 👀

WELL, I'm happy you asked 😏 this was supposed to be written for Kinktober but I never finished it. The prompt came from @squintclover and was, basically, Wolfstarbucks where Remus and James are fucking and no-one is allowed to come until Sirius says so.

So, er, have a snippet. Below the cut for NSFW.

“Stop,” Sirius says with a little wave of his hand, and he can’t help but smile as James freezes instantly.

It’s not the Imperius, of course not, but with how quickly James does as he is told it might as well be. He can hear the curse that Remus somehow manages to hold back, and it’s impressive really, Sirius can just imagine how hard it is for him not to let it slip. He can feel their frustration even from a distance, can hear their erratic breathing, can see the sweat that’s broken out across their skin.

Remus’ gaze flickers for a moment, tearing away from James’ face to settle on Sirius’ again and he lets the corner of his mouth twitch upwards, into a smirk. He sucks his bottom lip in between his teeth, biting down softly, and it’s enough to draw the reaction he was waiting for.

He sees Remus swallow, the bob of his Adam’s apple, the little tension of his muscles and James’ reaction is immediate. He doesn’t manage to hold back the whimper, never was quite as good at controlling his reactions as Remus or Sirius, and Sirius takes a moment to admire the quiver of his muscles.

He regains control of himself though, the muscles in his arms, lower back and arse tensing. Sirius lets out an approving little hum, but he doesn’t tell them to start moving again. He can see Remus wrestle with himself but in the end his self-control wins, and Sirius has to admit he’s both surprised and slightly impressed by that.

Sirius stands, stretching languidly, and he can see the flash of hunger in Remus’ eyes as he watches him. He scratches a hand absently down his chest, he’s already discarded his shirt, and he pushes a hand down his jeans to adjust himself slightly. Not that he needs to, really, but because he enjoys seeing the way Remus’ gaze sharpens and the way his reaction sends a shiver through James.

He steps up next to the bed, reaching out to run the tip of his fingers of one hand lightly up the back of James’ thigh, over the curve of his arse. James’ skin is burning, damp with sweat, and this close Sirius can smell their arousal even without Remus’ famous werewolf senses.
