#unlike sirius

Being haunted by jegulus and moonwater 😔😔

#bold of you to assume that the two people closest to sirius #the two people he loved the most #and who loved him the most #closest relationships outside of his family #would have ANYTHING to do with his abusive family #this includes his brother btw #bc yea regulus was kind of a victim in the family too #but he also played the game #he went with what his family said #unlike sirius #this means he wasn’t a sad cat hated and judged by everyone #he maybe didn’t believe in the nazi’s beliefs but he still worked for them lmao #ffs #and REMUS DKSKDKDLDD #Remus would fucking despise all of Sirius’s family #and the moment regulus made any comment diminishing sirius in any way its get out of my house for remus #the only way jegulus or moonwater would ever make any sense is if sirius didn’t exist in James’s or remus’s life #you know who regulus would date tho #fucking Barty #or fucking snape #why?? #bc regulus went his whole life repeating abusive patterns #this is the type of person that would get in a relationship with someone as abusive and with the same beliefs his parents had #and like I’m not saying oh regulus can’t be happy put that boy in an abusive relationship #I’m saying what makes sense for his character #unless he fucking changes completely #lol #anyway

wolfstar will always be that old couple that thinks all 70's pop culture is superior to anything new. they get so judged by hari who's decked out in a blur tshirt and baggy jeans and chunky cardigans and wears tracksuits when he's not exercising and has a growing cd collection. remus, to him, is so old and uncool other than his smoking habit and cardigans, and although sirius will always be the pinnacle of cool to him, he can't believe his godfather still wears flares and solely uses records and thinks some band called 't.rex' are better than nirvana.

#(ik canon harry doesn't care about being cool/pop culture but this is non-war au where lily and james never dies and he has a normal life) #dorcas and marlene are the actually cool and trendy ones. they stay very much up to date and dress accordingly #(only thing is that they're both very much oasis fans over blur. but at least they know the bands unlike wolfstar) #marauders era #marauders #wolfstar #sirius black #remus lupin #hari potter

JKR. Ma'am. If you didn't want me to ship drarry why did you write all these darry & jily parallels?

This is almost verbatim what Draco says to Harry in their first meeting.

"Well, no one really knows until they get there, do they, but I know I’ll be in Slytherin, all our family have been — imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you?”

These parallels are absolutely intentional. (Tho presumably the point was to show that James was a bully. But JKR really didn't think thru these implications.) And then on the train just as Draco bullying Ron confirmed Harry's dislike of him, James bullying Snape confirms Lily's dislike.

Of course I would argue that James has a much greater penchant for cruelty and violence that Draco does and while he never became a Death Eater as a bully he was worse.

Also why tf does JKR think James is redeemable but Draco isn't even tho Draco canonically regretted his behavior and there's no direct evidence that James did?

#James also has similar attitudes to Draco about “the wrong sort” although who he considers to belong in this group differs. Sirius #unlike Harry #accepts the offer of friendship and turns his back on those he's been brought up with #drarry #Harry Potter #draco Malfoy #James Potter

i accidentally stumbled into remus/regulus and it is the most heartbreaking thing and i just want them to be happy together *sobs quietly in the corner*

#harry potter #marauders #regulus black #remus lupin #regulus x remus #remus x regulus #developing regulus feels really impacts my opinion of sirius #your brother sacrificed himself for the safety and comfort of a house elf while trying to destroy voldemort's soul #you got your best friends killed because you believed the man who would die for you was the spy #get your shit together sirius #yes i know sirius didnt know this but like it's still not a good look???? #then instead of getting remus's help he goes off alone and gets his ass framed and thrown in azkaban just *headdesk* you had remus why? #18yo Regulus defying everything he's ever known and risking his life to help take down the dark lord #and not trusting anyone enough to ask for help except the house elf he actually respects unlike 99% of wix society

its been two months

hey hotties

im back

til death chapter four is out!!

here's a snippet, hope to write more but its 2am and I need to go to bed

“His soul has moved on to a better pace. He is now in heaven, with God and all of his angels-” Sirius wanted to scream. He wanted to throw himself at the pastor because no. No he didn’t. Remus didn’t move on to a better place. He visits Sirius in his dreams, curled against his body and pressing their lips together. Sirius falls asleep and there’s his love, fingers intertwined with his as they dance something familiar. Sirius never quite knows what it is, he never recognizes the tune Remus sings into his lips or the gentle sway of their hips, but he knows the familiar touch against his skin. He knows how those fingers trail up his arms, down his waist. He knows how they trail over his collarbones and oh, its beautiful the way that they cradle his face. He knows the feeling of his s,puɐqsnɥ scars better than his own, the map of jagged, raised skin leading him to a path down his lover’s body. Sirius is all too familiar with the gentle press of weight over him, the confessions kissed into his soul and down his neck. Sirius knows how he responds to his lover’s touch during the night, the sheets soaked with sweat and other sticky substances. But Sirius doesn’t mind it, no, the blankets that cling to his skin and stink of his filth serve as a reminder of his visits with the moon. So no. Remus didn’t fucking move on. His soul is tethered to the twin sized mattress that Sirius haunts. His body resides in the cherry mahogany about ten feet from where Sirius rots.

snippet from my Normal People wolfstar au

“I have something to tell you,” Remus started. 

Sirius grinned at him, “Oh fuck it, all is forgiven. Thank you for the flowers by the way. A bit queer but sometimes stereotypes are real. I nearly swooned when I saw them.” He still had a cheeky smile on his face. 

Remus couldn’t bring himself to grin back. There was a terrible pressure behind his chest. It shouldn’t be a big deal. It wasn’t when it all boiled down to it, Remus reasoned, it wasn’t as if he and Sirius could actually attend the formal together. 

But, if that was the case, why was his heart rattling like a rabid beast in a cage? Why was his breathing so shallow? 

It didn’t matter. It was a stupid dance that he didn’t even want to attend.

And yet, Remus felt as if whatever he said next was somehow very very important. 

Depending on which way he took a step, he felt as if his life could be rapidly catapulted into two different directions. He stood at the threshold of 12 Grimmauld Place, straddling his future with indecision. Remus didn’t move. 

Sirius seemed to sense some sort of unease and his smile slid off his face, “What? What is it?” He ushered Remus inside, concern clear on his face and Remus felt sick. 

He was horrible. This was horrible. He hadn’t wanted to come in. 

They sat down at the spotless kitchen island, like they had a million times before to do homework, to share snacks, to get wrapped up in eachother. 

Sirius placed a glass of water in front of him, “Remus, you look ghastly. Are you ill?” Remus didn’t touch the cup, hating himself all the more. 

“I don’t think I’m sorry for what you need me to be sorry for.” 

Sirius Black was a very expressive person, he always had been. Most people didn’t know this, because he could display a mask of indifference in a second. But, Remus had grown to know all his quirks over the course of just a few months- how he bit his lip when he was concerned, how he wrinkled his nose when he was embarrassed, how he fluttered his eyes when he was about to come. 

For a singular second his face was naked to Remus. A flash of confusion, a flicker of fear, a modicum of sorrow and then blank. Nothing. Every emotion was clear and vivid on his face before he composed himself.

“What do you mean?” Sirius’s voice was different now, cooler. It was like he could sense what was about to happen. He took a physical step back, out of Remus’s space, out of his orbit. 

Remus’s throat constricted and he felt himself falling aimlessly over the line to a different future. One without Sirius and his brightness and brashness to bask in. 

“I’m going with Flo Bagman to the formal. I’m sorry, I just thought you should know.”

James, Sirius and Remus being total strangers who find out they’ve all been dating the same man and deciding to team up to ruin the guy’s life as revenge for cheating on them?

#Yeah it’s the plot to ‘the other woman’ fuck off #but I still like the idea #Sirius would be the first wife #James would be the lawyer boyfriend #and Remus would be the sexy sugar baby #And regulus would be the brother James fancies because duh #oh and first wife and sexy sugar baby would get together because unlike the directors of the movie I’m not a coward

A mix of 31 prompts and microfic prompts…

@jilytoberfest

Prompts 1 & 2

Prompt #3: fire and #4: “I know, but I wanted to”

Sirius Black heaved an irritated sigh.

“For Merlin’s sake, I’m surrounded by incompetent fools!” he muttered to himself.

“Ha! If you think you can undo Prongs’ idiocy when it comes to anything remotely related to Lily Evans - good luck with that!” Peter snorted, downing a contraband lurid cocktail that Mary had concocted. It was supposed to look like a mint milkshake - it reminded Sirius of swamp water - vague rotten egg smell and pond scum colour. It was wonderfully lethal.

“I swear to Circe, if they haven’t gotten their shit together by May, I shall be forced to stage an intervention!” Sirius said, folding his arms.

“Oh? And what kind of intervention would that be?” Remus asked, leaning into him and giving his shoulder a gentle push.

Remus was a bit drunk and much more generous than usual with physical affection, which Sirius deeply appreciated.

“A successful one,” he said in a lofty tone, resting his head against Remus’ own.

“Can’t wait,” Remus hummed.

***

James sat slumped in his seat, hand holding up his head, watching the dancing couples, eyes following a particular fellow Gryffindor - vivid green eyes, cheeky grin, cobalt blue dress twirling.

“She’s never going to go out with you.”

He turned his head slowly.

“Snivellus,” he sighed deeply. “What can I do for you?”

“There’s no point sitting there staring at her like a creep! She hates you.”

He hesitated. Had he actually been staring at her like some weirdo?

Looking up he saw Sirius reaching for his wand, Remus glaring at Snape and Peter’s eyes twitching nervously towards the professors’ table. The problem with friends who happened to have Furry Little Problems or furry alternative selves was that their hearing was too sharp. Minerva McGonagall was looking over at him too, wearing a sour expression, although she couldn’t possibly have heard the conversation?

“Apologies to Evans if I was making her uncomfortable,” he said.

“You don’t care how she feels, you just want to force her to go out with you, you disgust me! You disgust her!”

Sirius Black was on his feet and Remus Lupin had his wand out and McGonagall’s lips were a stern line as she dropped her napkin (was anyone else able to convey such disappointment and authority in such a tiny gesture?)

“For fuck’s sake, shut- “ he growled, feeling his shoulders tense, fingers finding his wand. In another lifetime, say this time last year, he’d have hexed Snape already.

Just then he caught Lily’s eye. She was looking at the with concern, her smile gone and replaced by drawn brows and pursed lips. Poor Evans, imagine having to deal with two stupid, selfish wankers like them…

He breathed out slowly, forcing his shoulders down and placing his hands in the air, a placating gesture.

“Look, Snape, you’re probably right - I’d say I do disgust her. I have no intention of asking her out, alright?”

One side of Snape’s top lip lifted in disgust, but he clearly wasn’t expecting that answer and couldn’t find anything to say. He stood there awkwardly for a moment.

“Can i interest you in a snack? Beetroot crisps? Twice fried chips?” he said.

Snape glared at him suspiciously.

“A glass of butterbeer?”

The thin boy squinted at him. James smiled, all laid back innocence.

“Wondering why I’m offering? I know, but I wanted to.”

“Fuck you, Potter!” he spat out, turning around and marching off in the direction of the Slytherin tables.

“Prick,” James said to himself, knocking back an entire glass of firewhisky.

“Alright Mr Potter?”

McGonagall was looking at him with an unreadable expression. It was difficult to answer when his eyes were watering from the strong alcohol.

“Right as rain. Fit as a charmed fiddle,” he coughed.

“Water, was it?” She asked, sniffing in the direction of the empty bottle.

“Something like that… a liquid, anyhow,” he said, with a sheepish grin as he ruffled his hair.

***

“Oh gods,” groaned Remus, face palming. “I can’t listen to this, it’s too painful.”

“Prongs is a useless liar when he’s drunk,” Peter noted helpfully.

“He’s an out and out idiot at the best of times,” Sirius said, wisely downing the remainder of his drink.

“Bit harsh, Padfoot,” Remus sounded amused.

“No, that’s it. I’ve told him time and time again. I’m not idly standing by while he makes a balls of everything. Tonight takes the biscuit.”

They watched as James moved towards McGonagall, who was muttering under her breath in response to his ineptitude.

“Care to dance, Professor?” they heard Prongs say.

“Smooth,” Peter said.

“Foolish,” Remus said.

McGonagall’s left eyebrow raised. Prongs swayed.

“Perhaps another time, Mr Potter,” she said, not unkindly, patting his shoulder in what could only be described as a consoling manner.

“Right. Another time. When I’m less drunk.”

“Precisely, next year’s Hallowe’en Ball, perhaps.”

James’ mouth gaped.

“Right. Spiffing. Merlin!”

“Holy shit!” Peter squealed.

Sirius was inclined to agree with him.

***

On the first of May, Sirius Black walked into Dumbledore’s office, unannounced.

“Professor, we have a problem,” he said, without preamble, sitting himself down opposite the headmaster’s desk and placing his right foot on his left thigh.

“Good evening, er, Mr Black. How kind of you to call in for a… chat. A problem, you say? May I be of assistance?” Dumbledore asked, periwinkle eyes curious as he reached over for the sweets. “Lemon sherbet?”

Sirius Black shook his head.

“A problem. Of the very irritating, long-standing variety. And I know how to fix it!”

Sirius for the bingo!

CEO OF SIRIUS GIBSON RIGHT HERE

#the reason why i dont have a lot of headcanons for him is because theres already a lot to go off of from wh #unlike someone like metal sonic who has potential but it hasnt been properly explored in canon imp #imo* #hes not a beast unleashed hes more of a lizard to me #canon isnt real well.... yeah terrible things happen but i was very satisfied with sirius' conclusion #and the design aspect—i think hes clothes are kinda lame :(( he can do better... #replies

[enbysiriusblack]

dorcas meadowes and sirius black are the anti hero marauder characters.

#if you're wondering why regulus isn't here. i shall explain my decision. #right so. an anti hero is a character who does good but has un- heroic like traits #an anti hero focuses on personal motivation above a sort of greater good. #and is generally disliked/on the outs with the clearer hero/villian characters #dorcas is on a clear side of good. but the way they go about it isn't that moral #they kill practically hundreds of people (bad people) out of more anger and grief than anything else #dorcas could be classed as a hero with more villianous qualities (acting on more selfish desires/careless about people they hurt) #sirius comes from a family of more villian characters but runs towards good #his intentions are some 'for the greater good' and just. to rebel. #they tend to act selfishly and impulsively and make bad choices #sirius strives to be a hero but his trauma and intentions land them in anti hero #whereas regulus. #he (unlike sirius and dorcas) isn't on/striving for good. #he is a very neutral character that is trapped in a villianous world #an anti hero actively does both good and bad. an anti hero thinks firstly of themsevles #regulus doesn't. his good deed is stealing the horcrux. his bad deed is joining the death eaters. #he does do both good and bad. but that just lands him as a neutral character. a morally grey victim. a complacent rebel. #dorcas and sirius do good things with bad intentions and bad things with good intentions #whilst regulus does a bad thing and a good thing. and so on. which cancels each other out. making him neutral. #marauders era #marauders #sirius black #dorcas meadowes

[rollercoasterwords]

i think u may have alr answered this but i cant remember exactly so - will the wfrau have mcd for either sirius or remus or both? just wondering how mentally prepared i should be…

honestly idk if i've answered this either so no worries! the wfrau will be tagged mcd, in that at least one person who i consider a major character will die. however i do not plan on making that character either remus or sirius <3 no promises of course bc i am still only finishing up part 1 and i may change my mind, so right now the official party line is just: yes, at least one person will be dying, but i don't think that either remus or sirius will

#the death i have planned is absolutely set in stone #but in terms of how i envision an ending....yeah im like 90% sure remus and sirius will both be surviving #unless i have an idea that like. fundamentally shifts the ending somehow which is not impossible but IS unlikely #im pretty excited for the current ending i have in mind <3 #wfrau #spoilers #kinda #ask

[mrkeatingsblazer]

I’m not the biggest fan of Sirius, there I said it. I will never get over the prank and I hate when people try and erase it. 

#Sirius black #people get so mad too when you get mad at him #like I love him #and I ship #wolfstar #but goddamn if I was Remus I would have never even given him a second glance after what he did #Remus lupin #marauders #James potter #love fics were James ignored him #hate when people make him stick with Sirius #it’s so unlike what we’ve made James be as a person #jegulus #jily #marylily

[brandileigh2003]

Just curious why you focus on remus as the one with issues?

I mean... I think that they both have their fair share of things going on in all my stories. Maybe not shown quite as much in identically pining but that's a one shot with several different pov.

And-- as far as chronic illness and disability, remus canonically has them in form of lycanthropy. That is one of the things that draws me to the fandom, bc I have both and it means a lot to see that in stories so ofc I want to include them in mine.

I think that showing Sirius with mental illness and family trauma is how I mirror his canon aspects. I also identify with that.

But--- spoilers under cut for all--

1- In my longest fic silence between us, Sirius has anxiety, ptsd, nightmares and trauma from growing up in the black household.

2- in a matter of loyalty mental illness, potions reliance, war trauma

3. In An unlikely place to fall in love he's in hospital for his illness

4. In Guarding Remus he also deals with abuse from his family, plus has anxiety. Brief mention of self harm.

So ... I mean, unless I'm missing something or don't understand what you're asking, this is what I have to offer.

Hope it helps!
