@ crane wives and marauders fans:

The parallel between Tongues and Teeth

and Never Love An Anchor

feels so significant when applied to the Black brothers' situation. Both Sirius and Regulus came out of their ancestral home with the feeling that everything they touched would rot just because of the exposure to their darkness, approaching relationships the same way. That's the same mindset that the singers of both Tongues And Teeth and Never Love An Anchor possess.

The singer of Tongues And Teeth goes into detail about what they think will happen with their potential lover with them from the start, warning them of the danger of just Existing near them. The song is from the present tense of the situation, as they're in the middle of making the decision to give in to indulgence. They jump into things, impulsively and headfirst. They can't hold back, even though they know the consequences. If it's okay with their new lover, it's okay with them.

Meanwhile, in Never Love An Anchor, the singer talks about the situation from far in the future, if they had instead decided to stay away. If the singer had never given in to the temptation, and had let their "rotting" mindset keep them on that track. It talks about the grief you feel over the knowledge that loving you only brings awful things, and that staying away is the kindest thing to do even though it hurts so much. The situation is long over, and the singer is left wondering if they're hated, or even remembered.

Tongues and Teeth is written about the same kind of experience that Sirius has in every goddamn Wolfstar fic, and there are so many unrequited and avoiding love Regulus Black fics that Never Love An Anchor feels like an obvious fit, especially with Jegulus. Tongues and Teeth represents Sirius in that he lives his Life like this song. He can't hold back how much he wants and feels, so he talks back to his parents, gets sorted into the house his parents absolutely Hated, he constantly verbalizes his hatred for his family and all of the darkness they represent, I could go on and on. At the same time, he feels that he is stained by that same darkness and that he can't ever escape its presence in the lives of those he loves. He just doesn't want to have to hold everything back, so, just like the song, "if you're fine with that, can be mine like that," he'd want to have it like That. Him and Remus are so often characterized in fanon as being so magnetic to each other, causing them to clash just as often as they come together. They think they'll ruin each other because of the darkness they possess, but Sirius especially tends to put Remus on a pedestal of goodness, like the singer does to their potential lover.

Regulus Black's name is somewhat synonymous with tragedy in fanon. Whether it's the "no beta we die like regulus black in the cave" tags for shock value, the black brothers angst in everything from major fics to tiny headcanons, or the unrequited love for either James or Barty that permeates most Regulus Black media, he's a character that doesn't ever really get a break. Never Love An Anchor and the grief it represents feels relevant to him when the subject is Sirius or James, but I'll stick to James (keeping it romantic with the Wolfstar/Tongues and Teeth comparison). I'm a Choices coward (couldn't make myself finish it, I got too sad), but the "person on the dark side can't leave it but can't stop loving someone they have to protect from it" trope is still pretty common amongst Jegulus fics. Whether or not the love is requited, it doesn't change the mentality that Regulus always uses to approach it. "I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel." His darkness is the reason he never lets himself get close. In the cases where he does get close, he cuts it off to avoid inevitably hurting the one he loves, the epitome of Light and happiness that he thinks he doesn't deserve, James Potter. Honestly, thinking about the two of them while listening to the last bit in the lyrics (scroll back up to read) is a painful experience but it just fits so well.

I think both songs apply to their respective Black brothers very well individually, but it's also such a good comparison to see how their upbringing affected them. Sirius was always the impulsive, headstrong one so Regulus wouldn't have to be, and this is a direct result. They have the same beliefs about themselves but it manifests so differently because of how their environment shaped them.

I've been having brainrot about these two songs and how they relate to the Black Brothers for over a month at this point, so I hope somebody else appreciates how much I've thought about this thank you <333

wolfstar + story of another us

my greatest discovery of the day is the fact that story of another us by 5sos fits all too perfectly the story of wolfstar from remus’ pov. here’s why :

(disclaimer : this is way too long and maybe excessively useless but i’m posting it anyway, hoping that it’ll reach the people gravitating in both the marauders fandom & 5sosfam)

because i may have masochist tendencies, one of my favorite things about wolfstar is how doomed their relationship is -- okay, maybe not my favorite thing so to say, but it’s something that i’m a sucker for because it makes it all ten times more tragic than it already is (and i know y’all love it too, don’t lie to yourselves).

story of another us begins with an ending. the very first verse deals with the end of a relationship, compared to the dreaded end of a movie : 

Play the scene over again Before the credits rolling in Inside my head I don't recall a single word They hit me faster than I heard Inside my head

aside from the cool meta-reference it could simply be to the hp movies themselves (haven’t we all rewatched the shrieking shack scene over and over and over again), an ending being the subject of the first verse seems to anchor the relationship into the only thing canon wolfstar could ever be : relaying on second chances yet fated to be destroyed. it sounds so dramatic, i know, but that’s why it’s such a touching story.

and if you look closer into the lyrics, i can’t help but think of the fights that might have occurred during the first war just before all hell broke loose. the narrator here feels the words flash past them in the violence of the argument, and who other than mr. sirius orion black is there to lose his mind in such a way? the fact that they would end up so wary of each other to the point where they’d doubt the other’s trust could only result in heated arguments and repetitive scenes with either of them storming out of the room, flat, whatever. they couldn’t communicate, and when they did it involved cutting words coming from a place unknown to the other, all of this resulting in an impossibility to understand whatever one might say, thus ‘they hit me faster than I heard.’ their shared stubbornness and inability to get over themselves led them to terrible fights and possibly breakups and, despite pretending that they’re not affected by it, they so obviously are -- the scenes can only replay themselves in their minds as well as in the real world. it’s what they inevitably gravitate towards. the start of something new brings along its fated finitude : beginnings and endings come as one.

the first pre-chorus follows : 

And now I'm shaking, wearing thin I always wonder where you've been Tell me if you wanted it at all

easy enough : halloween 1981 happened, leaving remus in shambles and questioning whether or not it was all a lie from the start. and despite trying so hard to leave sirius behind, he can’t help but wonder, wonder, wonder again because how could it have been a lie? 

the first lines of the second verse follow the same idea and period in remus’ life (being the twelve years of thinking sirius was the killer) :

Memories are pay-per-view It costs too much to think of you I'm hanging by a thread

remus dwells on the past, analyzing every memory for a clue, something he might have missed while being terrified of what he might find, hence the ‘cost’ of thinking about sirius. 

then, looking into the chorus, i can’t help but see the ‘long-term plan’ of getting over yourself and your hurt crushed by the ‘short-term fixes’ of alcohol and whatever drugs which only bring relief for a few hours at a time. remus ends up with this ‘wasted heart’ battered by each full moon, each disappearance of the sun behind an all-encompassing, frightening ‘eclipse’. ‘trust’ turns to ‘dust’ in the tragically unlucky course of his life as he reminisces one of the multiple ‘us’ that he and sirius have been. 

I got a long-term plan with short-term fixes And a wasted heart that just eclipses And I'll push my luck from trust to dust enough That's the story of another us

but then sirius comes back. and he’s innocent. and here comes another cycle of trust turning to dust, another us. remus desperately needs the chaos of sirius escaping azkaban and of the overall panic striking the wizarding world to be the ‘one last ditch’, the last obstacle to ‘a new beginning’. once more, upon being given a second (third? sixth? fourteenth?) chance, they bleed into each other, unable to be together in any other way than completely, atomically and metaphorically -- only for that semblance of rebuilt trust to vanish into to dust again as sirius slipped into the veil.

One last ditch, a new beginning So take this heart, put yourself in it This surprise ending I'm depending on Could be the story of another us

during all these years, and despite trying his best not to, remus wished for the impossible, the ‘surprise ending’ of the problem resolving itself. and it happened... right? 

skipping the first lines of the second verse (that i already mentioned as they refer to desperation previous to sirius’ return) and here comes my absolute favourite part of the song :

An epilogue before we're done A sequel to what we've begun I'm hanging by a thread

for a minute there, they seem to get the happy epilogue. a short one, yes, but an epilogue nonetheless -- they’re together again, they’ve got harry back. but that’s not all of it. because if the (non-existant) optimist in me sees this ‘sequel’ as a continuation of the marauders’ early years (back when they were all happy and, well, not dead), the friendships they built and the joy they spread, my (deep-rooted) pessimism can only interpret it as an illustration of the fact that wolfstar were fucking doomed from the beginning. whether it was the first or hundredth chance they got, it still ends in the same way -- with hurt, with things untold and memories that won’t let themselves be forgotten, with a love so raw it can only bleed out.

And now before our hope is lost My heart is here at such a cost Tell me if you wanted it at all

finally, the last bridge sung by michael wraps it all up together. if last chance it is, they’ll suffer through it one last time together, each of them reminding the other of the people they’ve lost, the hurt they’ve endured and caused. the last two lines immediately bring to mind their role in both wars against voldy -- each time at the front row of the conflict. the first time they’d blindly followed the dangerous man that was dumbledore until they’d all lost something (whether it was their life or their sanity), teenagers at the front line of a war they’d become devoted to ; then turned into the ‘last resorts’ of a new army, attempting to protect another generation about to get slaughtered in a conflit thrice their size. 

Drown me, beside you Where I'll be to remind you We're still first in line for The front row of last resorts

between the constant mention of doubt and wavering trust and the foolish dream of living a different ending, story of another us perfectly shows the cycle in which two people can get stuck. it doesn’t mean they didn’t have their happiness and their love, they did -- of course they fucking did. but i feel like the longing for something else, something new, along with the paradox of needing to forget the unforgettable can definitely be linked to our favourite depressive bookworm wolfboy, the one and only remus lupin <3

(now someone please make an edit with this song so i can die feeling miserable but it’s okay because it’s wolfstar)

(i hope all of this was somewhat understandable, i wrote it in one shot without thinking it through whatsoever)

(and in case it wasn’t obvious, i fucking love a good tragic story)

back when we were dinosaurs (1/3) on ao3

Wolfstar. 1/3. 8.5k words. Explicit.

Remus has been coming to the museum since he was a boy. Since before all the renovations— before the Crystal. Back when the main entrance was off of University Avenue and the dinosaurs were huge, terrifying behemoths. Back when he would go running off with his stuffed bunny, and scurry through the low lit room housing the brontosaurus exhibit as fast as his chubby legs could carry him (his mother never far behind). The Royal Ontario Museum has always been magical to him and now, at 32, he is the curator for the paleontological wing. It’s a literal childhood dream come true. Or Remus is the ROM’s newest curator of the paleontological wing. Sirius manages the gift shop and has a dinosaur obsession. They are cute little nerds together and sometimes they have sex in the archives. (aka my Museum fic)

So I was sitting and chatting to @wdcmaxy, and we both realized that we've never read any marauders fic that takes place in Canada— thus, this was born. It will be fluffy. It will be horny. It will be extremely geeky. It’s my fictional ode to Toronto.

Read the tags!
