"YOU'LL BE BACK" Gravity Falls Animatic!

This isn’t really new headcanons, but I’m so down bad for the fact that Sirius participates/adores things that Remus does that he normally wouldn’t. Such as the meditating or him following along with Remus’ hippie practices. Because yea know, it’s with Remus, and I think that makes it all the difference for Sirius. Then Remus being all nonchalantly possessive with kissing him in front of people and calling him when Remus’ Sirius senses are tingling. I’m more just gushing about how amazing this theme and pairing are. Their interactions and antics always make me smile. Thank u so much for posting and writing about them!

Wow, this is… thank you!!

This is genuinely one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my writing, and it’s so nice to see people enjoying the stupid things I write!

Anyway onto the (short) oneshot!! :)

Today y’all are going to meet crystal and weed seller Lily

“Lils, do you have any tarot cards with animals on them?” Remus asked, dropping his elbows onto the counter and smiling at her.

“Probably, I’ve stopped keeping track. How come? You’ve got an extensive tarot collection as it is.”

“Sirius wants to learn, I figured I’d get him his own deck for it.” They answered with a shrug, not noticing as Lily’s eyes widened.

“You mean your scientist boyfriend wants to learn to read tarot?” She asked, arching an eyebrow at him. When he just nodded, she kept going. “The one who has three different microscopes in his home office?” They frowned at her, confused.

“Yeah? You know he meditates with me once a day, I already told you.”

“Christ, sometimes I feel like you have two different boyfriends and just mix them up sometimes.” She said, straightening up and turning away from them to rearrange some incense holders. “Still, go check the shelves, there are probably some with- why animals?”

“A little bit of subliminal messaging.” They answered with a shrug. “I figure if I set everything up properly, I’ll be able to convince Sirius that we’re just meant to have a cat.”

“Have you even asked yet?” She asked, Remus starting to rifle through the decks.

“No, and he’d probably agree now. I just want to make sure.” He bit back a smile, finally finding the right deck and turning back to drop it on the desk. As Lily scanned it, she glanced at Remus.

“So he meditates with you, wants to read tarot, and didn’t you say he’s actually wearing the crystal jewellery you got him? And he’s really a scientist?”

“Believe me, all you have to do is watch a climate change documentary with him and you’ll see it.” Remus answered simply. “He does so much for me, listening to him gush about his work is the least I can do. It’s surprisingly charming.” They said calmly, grabbing the cards off her and going to leave the shop. “Tell Petunia I’ve put a curse on her.” He said as he left, drawing a laugh out of Lily.

Sweet Impossible Blossom by transjorts [Rated M, 16138 Words, Complete, 2022]

“As much as Andrew enjoyed observing men partaking in vigorous activity with very little clothing on, he despised the comparisons he couldn’t help making to his own body. He couldn’t do half as much as Kevin since he refused to not wear his binder in public. The one time he’d tried to mimic Kevin’s usual routine with his binder on he’d nearly fainted, listing sideways until his body slammed into the wall. Kevin had cradled the back of his head as he dropped to the floor. That hadn’t been one of Andrew’s finer moments.”

learning to love by deadwriter16 [Rated G, 3673 Words, Complete, 2021]

Kevin Day is one of the most famous Exy players in possibly the world, so naturally people say things about him. One of the most common rumors is that he's cold, aloof, even unfeeling. And while that may be true to an extent, Kevin knows that he's become so much more. He's surrounded by family and friends who love him and who he loves back. And it's because of them that Kevin knows how to feel, how to love. Basically just Kevin reminiscing about his friendship with each of the Foxes and the people in his life, and about how he recovered and finally became part of a family.

Kevin Day, picked up by Andrew Minyard, hand broken and eyes glossed over because he is dead.
