Regulus Black Fell First But James Potter Fell Harder And I Will Be Taking Zero Criticism

Wolfstar hits harder if Remus isn't conventionally attractive.

Because while Sirius is still deep in denial and internalized homophobia, he's convincing himself like "it's okay, i'm not gay, anyone would want to kiss Remus once in a while, he's just objectively hot"

Except Remus is ankward and quiet when not around friends, he's too tall like he grew up too fast and doesn't know what to do with this extra height, his scars scare people away, he wears grandpa sweaters, drinks tea in his free time and goes to sleep at 9 pm, he can't flirt for the life of him (even though he could bc he's witty and sarcastic) because he has no self-confidence and it shows.

He's basically a loser (affectionate) and Sirius is like "it's okay, no need to panic, he's the sexiest man on earth but that's just an astute observation, no gay thoughts here"

and i just think that's funny as hell

what am i missing :3

AU where Regulus is a tattoo artist and Sirius was his first canvas.

Okay 6th year gryffindors learning the patronus charm and James is one of the first to get it (after Lily and Sirius, remus found an excuse to sit it out bc he didn't want to risk the class seeing a wolf and putting things together). They've already done the theory so they know the whole 'reflective of your soul' or 'changes to represent a loved one, especially if they are your happiest memory' and when they eventually manage corporeal patronuses, James' happens to be a lion.

A big, prowling, majestic lion. Most of the room are impressed and a little jealous but not too shocked by it, they automatically assume that it's the animal which most resembles him because...gryffindor lion. It doesn't get much more James potter than that. But his group are very confused. Patronuses were supposed to match animagi and they'd already managed that one, so they had silently accepted that it would be a stag. So when it isn't, they have to hide their shock. They sort of brush it off after a while because James is similar to a lion so maybe it's just something to do with strength in the memory he chose?

But James knew the second the lion looked at him that it wasn't his animal. He would always be a stag, he knew that much for sure. This was Regulus. Cor Leonis. The lion, brave, strong, and powerful but cowering behind the powerful women in his life and 'lazily' biding his time until he has no choice but to do something. More importantly, James loved him, and nobody was supposed to know. His patronus has shifted from a stag- prideful and representative of James as an individual- to a lion- a symbol of his love, power and courage. And he is the only one that knows.

Remus: Annoying.

Sirius: Okay, rude. Try again.

Remus: Infuriating. Ridiculous

Sirius, pouting: Moony—

Remus, kissing the tip of his nose: Fine. Mine.

The whole school was aware of how gorgeous and sexy Sirius was. But what no one knew was how he looked in the mornings, that honor was Remus' only.

Sirius would often wear this disguise, pretending to be confident and tough, to hide his real self. How insecure he actually was and all the thoughts that clouded his head.

So, the first time that he went to his boyfriend's bed because he had an awful nightmare since they had started dating was special.

They slept with their legs tangled under the blankets and Remus woke up with the best view in the world.

Because yes, everyone could see Sirius wearing his mask, but no one had seen him like this. He looked delicate and pretty. And so, so cute.

With a few of his dark curls falling in his face, which was almost completely buried in Remus' chest and his eyelashes opening sleepily, showing his beautiful grey eyes shining in the morning light.

After a little while of being awake, he whispered "hi"

"hello sweetheart"

He smiled at the pet name and they stayed in silence for a few minutes before Sirius murmured "you're staring moonpie" and giggled slightly.

"Well" Remus answered "you look incredibly pretty and adorable, and I liked waking up with you"

"suppose we'll have to sleep like this forever then, so you can see my adorable face every morning"

"of course, love"
