June 2: Night – @jegulus-microfic – word count: 266

The Sun is a large entity. It sits high in the sky, and signifies a new beginning, and gives way to The Moon, leaving space for it to have its time. The Sun is a giving being. It gifts heat and light to all life surrounding it with nothing in return. The Sun expects nothing. The Sun rises and falls, without fail, dusk and dawn, with small gratitude. Sure, there’s a sunset picture here and there but that’s about as far as the appreciation goes.

The Stars are small beings. They reside at night, glittering where few think to find them. The Stars, more often than not, are curtained by The Clouds. They drift by and smother what little light The Stars produce. Very few people appreciate the subtle beauty of The Stars. Things as such make The Stars quiet and dull, makes them wilt.

The Sun glow brighter than The Stars. The Stars are subtle and The Sun is loud. They are polar opposites, and yet, they are so commonly associated with each other. The Sun and The Stars, The Stars and The Sun.

But the thing is – the thing is – they are so very similar. Put The Sun beside The Star, and just watch how bright The Star shines. Watch The Star just be. Put The Sun next to The Stars and watch The Sun dim down, until it’s subdued and calm. Until it can truly rest.

Because, together, two things that are so completely different can exist freely as themselves, creating a universal stillness.

James and Regulus are much the same.

June 3: Enchant – @jegulus-microfic – word count:173

A threadbare cream sheet sits in the middle of an endless green field, and atop lays an assortment of fruit and snacks. A glass vase sits in the very middle, filled with a bouquet of lavender roses, and a bit of water.

Regulus lets out a small sigh, letting his eyes fall closed, and relaxing his head more into James’ lap. His fingers have found their way to Regulus’ hair, massaging his scalp.

“Jamie?” Regulus mumbles quietly.

James hums in questioning.

“I love you.”

“I love you, Reg.”

Regulus opens his eyes and looks at his lovely boy. His boy who has his eyes on Regulus, looking enchanted and horribly in love. It’s rather embarrassing, really. Regulus tells him just as much.

James chuckles gently, leaning in to nuzzle Regulus’ nose with his own. James tips his head down, capturing Regulus’ lips in a kiss. A flame spreads across his cheeks.

When James pulls back, he smirks down at Regulus, and says “Who’s embarrassingly in love now, Reg?”

Regulus can’t even defend himself.

June 6: stay – @jegulus-microfic – word count: 697

Footsteps echo in the dark corridor, as James and Regulus walk towards the come-and-go room. Regulus has his wand raised, a small ball of light bobbing ahead. As they pass, portraits chastise them, telling them to turn out that god-awful light.

James has his cloak, but they aren’t using it. James has been covertly checking the map, keeping a tab on Filch making sure they don’t wander into him. The only issue, however, is that the map doesn’t show animals, so they have to listen for Mrs Norris. James’ll have to bring that up to the rest of the Marauders. Lucky for James, though, she wears a small bell around her neck. An oversight on Filch’s part.

Regulus’ light turns a corner first, then Regulus, and, just before James could follow to do the same, Regulus flings himself back around the corner, and ridding the light, bathing them in black.

“Regulus, wha– hmph.” Before James could finish the question, a slender hand claps over his mouth and a cold wall meets his back.

“ Shut up, ” Regulus hisses out, barely above a whisper.

James wraps a hand around Regulus’ thin wrist, prying it away. “What is it, Reg?” James murmurs.

“Mcgonagall,” Regulus mutters back, wide-eyed.

“If it’s Minnie, we can’t stay here,” James stresses. Mcgonagall will see them if they don’t go elsewhere where.

“We can’t walk away. She’ll hear us!” Regulus grumbles.

“Fuck, okay.” James could use his invisibility cloak, but he doubts he’ll have enough time, and she will hear it. “I have an idea and I don’t think you’ll like it, but you have to trust me, okay?”

“ James, ” Regulus warns, as James grabs his waist and pulls. James knows Mcgonagall isn’t homophobic, and if she sees them she won’t mind, if anything, she will just be surprised. That’s James’ defense mechanism. “What are you- she’s going to see us!”

“That’s the plan,” James grins, and then he leans in, capturing Regulus’ mouth in a deep kiss, just before Mcgonagall comes flying around the corner, her own light following her. The footsteps stop, and for a beat it’s silent.

Regulus seems to catch on quickly, and he really plays it up, making himself look focused and without a single ulterior motive.

“Mr Potter,” Mcgonagall chastises. “I will be entirely honest with you when I tell you this, Mr Potter, I am not even a fraction of what is the appropriate shock of seeing you out of bed, at this hour.” Her eyes slide over to Regulus, who is breathing heavy, and is resting his head against James’ chest. “You, however, Mr Black, have surprised me. Tell me, boys, what are you doing out of your dormitories?”

“Well, Professor,” James says, grinning. “I thought it is rather obvious.”

“Yes, very good, Mr Potter.” Poor Minnie sounds completely knackered. “Mr Black, anything to say for yourself?”

“I’m sorry, Professor,” Regulus mumbles miserably.

“Thank you, Mr Black, 5 points from Slytherin for being out of bed after hours. Mr Potter, 30 points from Gryffindor for the same reason. Go to bed, boys. Separately.” And with that, she sweeps away, bringing her light with her, leaving a spluttering James and a chuckling Regulus behind.

James wants to check the map to make sure Professor Mcgonagall has left, and isn’t just waiting around the corner – something she’s done before – but if James uses the map now, it would be too dark to see the words, but if he casts a light, Regulus will see it. Not that James doesn’t want to tell him, but it’s not his secrecy to share. So, James will just have to hope she’s gone.

A small kiss to Regulus’ forehead spurs him to start moving again, grabbing James’ hand and charming another light before he begins the trek to the come-and-go room.

Just as they turn the corner a little jingle sounds directly behind the pair, making them freeze. They try to hide from Mrs Norris, but, just as they turn to do so, a rough, croaky voice speaks ahead of them.

“Where are you two off to, then?”

Regulus sighs, dropping James’ hand, flickering his wand, banishing their light. James just groans.

June 7: welcome – @jegulus-microfic – word count: 414

It all starts with one small question.

“Reg? Do you think you would want to stay at my house for the Easter break?”

It’s mumbled into Regulus’ bare shoulder one night while he and James are in the come-and-go room together, arms wrapped around each other, and legs tangled in thin sheets. When James asked the question, though, Regulus pulls back to look him in the eye.

Regulus shouldn’t. He really, really should not. His mother would not allow it. But, he could just not go home. Regulus rids himself of that idea immediately. He can’t. His mother would hunt him down. The last heir to the Noble And Most Ancient House of Black? Regulus is mad if he thinks she wouldn’t leave him be for a single second.

“James…” Regulus murmurs back. There would be no way he would be able to go.

“No, I know. Just think about it, yeah?” James rushes out. “Besides, we have plenty of space, and Mum and Dad wouldn’t mind at all. You are always welcome back home. Sirius would be ecstatic. So would I.”

“Mother wouldn’t allow it, James,” Regulus says, but, Merlin, does he want to say yes.

“What if you just, like, don’t? Like how Sirius did?” James sounds hopeful. Can this man read Regulus’ mind?

“Run away, you mean?” James nods. “James, I’m their final heir. Mother would hunt me down. Maybe bring Sirius with me, while she’s at it. She would hurt us.” James presses his lips fiercely against Regulus’ cheek. “I don’t want that for Sirius. He got out, and now I have to stay. So that he can be safe.”

“I will keep you safe. Both of you,” James declares, and he appears to be confident that he, a seventeen year old, who is still in school, could fend off Walburga Black, a fully-trained, fully-grown dark witch. “Mum and Dad will help. They can fight, I’ve seen them dueling once. And they’ll set up wards, and they will contact the ministry and the school and we can talk to Sirius and we’ll–”

“Okay, James,” Regulus interrupts. Regulus wants to get out, and he has full trust in Euphemia and Fleamont Potter. They are brilliantly talented wizards. If they all work together – all five of them – Regulus trusts they can defeat Walburga and Orion.

“Okay? You’ll leave?” James eyes glitter with how thrilled he is. He swoops in and kisses Regulus on the forehead before swaying away again.

“Okay, James.”

A huge issue I have have with this fandom is the (Young) Peter Pettigrew slander. Everyone goes ballistic bc he betrays the Potters and yada yada even though Regulus, Barty, Evan and any other death eater did pretty much the exact same thing.

So, I want to write a fic. Peter centric all about Peter discovering himself and his sexuality / identity while his friends all fall in love around him. (+ a couple other things)

A list of stuff it would include:

Aromantic Asexual Peter

Non binary Peter (maybe, lmk)

Wolfstar, Jegulus, Dorlene, Panda/Marylily, Rosekiller

Childhood friends Peter James and Marls

NO PETER BASHING‼️‼️

NO LILY SLANDER ‼️‼️

Happy ending (bc I’m a sucker for a happy end)

Angst

Disabled Peter!!! (My love)

Sassy + Cunty Peter bc yes

I got the idea while listening to Little League by Conan Gray and it would be loosely based off that

There are a few things I haven’t decided yet so it’s not set in stone so ideas/suggestions/feedback/criticism let me know <33

I will put updates on this page for you all, should I decide to continue on with it, and it will be posted on my Ao3 (Fredtheemoplant)

Again, any suggestions or question can be said directly in my asks or in the comments :)

All that aside, the question isss:

The stress I feel when the end of the last chapter is coming closer and that one ship still hasn’t sorted their shit out 😥

Hot take: hcing Peter as aspec and plus-sized doesn’t make you fatphobic or aphobic. In fact, implying that being plus-sized means you can’t be aspec is more aphobic/fatphobic than thinking it’s okay to be so. But, yk, that’s neither here nor there, folks.

My single thought of the day:

When the Marauders become Animagi, surely they wouldn’t have been able to walk immediately, right? So, just imagine a a full grown stag with huge antlers tripping over itself, wandering around the castle, followed closely by a large, black dog doing the same, and finally a rat, that, under close observation, walks particularly human-like. And then there’s just Remus.

More animagus Marauders stuff bc I live and breathe them

James is as blind as a bat right? This is established. Do we think when he’s Prongs and still blind asf James would just sort of. balance his glasses there? Would he have a pair for when he’s Peongs which look so fucked up without him wearing them all elongated and shit. Would he just go around blind? I don’t think he would for actual Fulls bc safety

Thoughts?

“Stop the Twink-ification of Regulus! He’s not a Twink!!!”

He is. By Definition.

Sorry, I don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️

(This is based on Fanon, queer, Timothée Chalamet vision of him)

In my French class, two girls were talking about ATYD, so, naturally, I had to notify them I also know the gay men. I couldn’t work out a way to do it, and panicked when they started walked out of the class. As a normal, functioning piece of society, I coughed excessively, blurted ‘CRIMSON RIVERS’, then threw myself at a table in embarrassment.

Thinking about African-American Mary, who gets teased for accent by her friends, namely, Sirius and Marlene.

Like, Mary is just talking about her family, and Marlene cuts in like ‘MOM? You sent a letter to your MOM? What’s a MOM!?’

See how I don’t post about how much I don’t like your otp? Very respectful, Very aware.

See how I don’t tell you to kys when you post about how much you don’t like my otp? Very mindful, Very demure.

james: and what do we say when we feel like this

sirius: my depression is chronic but this ass is iconic

james: nO

TW : This is just me ranting. Disagree if you like, but please do it respectfully.

I literally love Wolfstar. In any shape, form, universe, AU, anything. I love it. They are (and probably will always be) my favourite ship.

Something that I don't like though (my opinion, not trying to be rude) is how in 'canon-compliant (with Wolfstar)' fics the characters themselves are never canon compliant. AUs, canon-divergent, canon-but-not-exactly-fics its fine to use your own headcanons. BUT IN CANON COMPLAINT FANFICTIONS, THAT ARE BASED ON THE BOOKS, that means the characters are complaint to this timeline aswell.

I know full well we don't know everything about characters, I know head canons are allowed and I'm not mad about them. I know this is a canon-compliant fic WITH Wolfstar. BUT WHY in this canon-compliant fic is Remus taller, why is Remus angry, why is Remus everything Sirius is. Why is Sirius small, why is a twink, why is he clingy and whiny and FEMININE. Because fuck no, canon-compliant, book Sirius, was not tiny he is described many times as being tall. He is described as an athlete, he is described as spoiled, he is described as angry, and hot-headed, and everything it is made Remus to be. In canon-compliant fics, Sirius should be shown how he is --a bully. It is never said anywhere that Sirius is physically abused. It is canon that he was verbally, and emotionally, abused. Stop trying to make abuse physical because that it when you deem it to be serious enough to care.

Remus was not tall, he did not have a backbone, he did not stand-up to his friends. He literally describes himself as too cowardly to tell them no in their youth, because he was scared they'd leave him. His parents did not hate him, they were not dead, they were loving and kind and amazing. THEY LOVED HIM. HE WAS LOVED. Being a werewolf is bad enough, stop trying to make it worse to make him have 'enough' trauma.

I love these fics by the way, it just annoys me that they state they are canon-compliant but they aren't.

By the way this ONLY applies to canon-compliant fics based on the books. I'm not talking about AU's, or fics where it deviates from canon slightly. I'm talking about fics that STATE that it's canon-compliant (with Wolfstar) and that everything is as much to J.K Rowling's books as possible. This post is about those fics and only those.

I literally love 6'2-6'4 Top Remus and 5'7-5'10 Bottom Sirius but WHAT ABOUT :

6'4 Bottom Remus and 6'0 Top Sirius.

Sirius is well chuffed that he's in the 6' and up category, he's tall, handsome and then poof Remus is taller.

Like, Sirius who was taller than Remus for years, until fifth-year came about and suddenly the guy beats him by four inches. Sirius, who has come to terms with the fact that he likes guys, that he likes Remus and suddenly he has to come to terms that this isn't a normal heterosexual relationship just with two guys. Remus is taller than Sirius, even just by a little bit, and Sirius has to come to terms with the fact that the shorter one in the relationship isn't the submissive one. Because Sirius has never had control. Not in his house. In his upbringing he's never had control of what he says, what he wears, what he looks like, what he is. And now that he has it he can't let it go. He just can't. And Remus who has had to be in control, had to be in control of every situation to some extent, he had to know when to back out of a situation because it becomes detrimental to him and his 'furry little problem'. He wants for someone to take control, to tell him that it is all alright and he doesn't have to worry about keeping all of his cards so close to his chest. Remus was born into a muggle world, with loving parents, and then that was taken from him at a young age and he suddenly had to everything for himself no matter what because he was a burden otherwise.

I love this dynamic.

5'11 under, skinny asf, trans Remus Lupin.

over 6', muscular, biker bf Sirius Black

GIVE IT TO ME RACHEL

I'd just like to say that I hc pansexual or bisexual with a preference for men (Remus) Sirius Black and this is purely because I personally think he struggled so much with his crush on Remus literally for the reaosn that he had a crush on Mary aswell and couldn't understand how he liked both.

im sorry if this is controversial but :

Non-Binary Remus Lupin.

Who has short curly hair and wears ugly jumpers and corderoy pants and sometimes those sleeveless sweater vest top this i cant remember the name of.

But who also wears long skirts and slightly heeled boots because they like them and who can't handle any compliment that's stereotypically feminine or masculine, not for the fact that it is stereotypically feminine or masculine but because they feel like they're being percieved in a certain way and they hate being percieved in a way that just isn't true.

this is all.

Remus' relationships with everybody :

Remus & Sirius : Romantic Soulmates

Remus & Lily : Platonic Soulmates

Remus & James : Mother and Son (whose which changes every day)

Remus & Peter : cousins but its like the cousins where your best friends so they have a cousin-best-friend bond if that makes sense. i know what i mean anyway

Remus & Regulus : I want to call them brothers but i cant because that would be weird since i imagine them having that flirty relationships and im not apart of the Black Family so.... best friends or literally anything that would work but they just understand eachother. They don't have to be around eachother all the time or have a really excting friendship for that to be.

Remus & Mary : I love them and nobody understands but im just gonna say Mary calls Remus her bitch.

Remus & Marlene : marlene is like remus' cool aunt to him but to her HES the cool aunt if that makes sense.

Remus & Dorcas: I just wanted to add them because they are my favourite people ever and i hc them as best friends and that's how remus met regulus and nobody can stop me.
