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.

Sirius was staring at his boyfriend. They were in the library trying to finish a project due in two weeks so they wouldn't have to worry about it later.
Remus was reading and looked too beautiful to be true. Because, of course, when Sirius is REALLY trying to work, the light is just right and it makes his hair shine, his features softer and his laugh brighter.
It made Sirius dizzy how perfect he was. And incredibly prideful to be able to call him HIS.
-See anything interesting, sweetheart?- Remus asked suddenly, turning his head to look at him with a smirk
-Yes, actually - Sirius murmured without thinking, and blushing after he realized what he said
-Is that so?-
-Yeah...-
-What's on your mind darling?- Remus asked, a little smile starting to form on his lips
Oh, his beautiful lips
-It's just that... You make me feel...-
-Feel...?-
-...feelings-
-I make you feel feelings?- Remus said amused
-Maybe... It's just that you are too perfect to be real. Are you real?-
-I'm pretty sure I am real, yes- he chuckled- want me to prove it to you?
-Ok..
Before Sirius could even think what it meant, Remus gave him a short kiss.
-oh- he gasped, like it had never happened before and smiling dopily- ok, umm, good to know- he nodded
And just like that, they got back to work

Remus Lupin, who's hard of hearing but can't afford hearing aids always has to ask people to slow down or write what they're saying because most students don't know sign language.
Regulus Black, who's selectively mute and communicates mostly with sign language.
Regulus is going down to the medical wing to get a potion for Evan. He froze, seeing Remus, talking(?) to Pomfrey in sign language. Remus notices him, standing there frozen. He speaks up, βYou alright there, mate?β
Regulus blinks, snapping out of his trance and nods, crossing over to Pomfrey, and signing, βI need a Pepperup for Evanβ
βOf course, dear. One moment.β Pomfrey responds, walking off to get the potion.
Once she is out of view, Remus turns around to face Regulus, then signs to him, βYou know sign?β
Regulus nods, βYes, I do.β he signs in reply.
And that is how their friendship started.
the marauders group chat
peter: good night homos!!!
peter: *homies
peter: eh same thing
fan fiction isnβt enough anymore I need to inject James Potter directly into my veins
lily asks the "highly intelligent and mysterious dog of foresight" if there's a chance that James likes her (she's a bit oblivious) and it starts vigorously nodding its head (it's literally just Sirius) (#wingman)
"are you still crying over fictional charat-" SHUT UP YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THEY BOTH DIED THINKING THEIR BROTHER HATED THEM
honestly love being in the marauders fandom, there are so many talented creators, especially fic writers. like i read popular fics from another fandom, and it just does not hit as hard as the masterpieces yall create over here. other ppl are getting emotional over stuff, and i donβt even bat an eye bc of the absolute tragedies the marauders have put me thru.
"When Sirius first told me he was dating a girl and I was shocked I thought βhuh this is teaching me something about not making assumptions about people.β HOWEVER now that Sirius has come out as a gay man I would like everyone to know, Iβve never been wrong. Iβm never backing down again. And my assumptions? They are back." -Lily Evans

Prompt 1: aparecium - 216 words
Remus was feeling nervous. He had wanted to show his friends the map for a while, but he needed to make sure it was perfect first.
When he did show them, they were all impressed.
"So you're saying that with this we should be able to se everyone, at all times?" James asked, astonished
"Yeah, but I'm still working on a spell for that to apply to everyone in the castle. For now I just enchanted the teachers and Filch"
"I'll help!" Said Peter, looking excited. He always liked researching for pranks.
"We should put a spell so only us could see it. Like, with revelio or aparecium" Sirius suggested, still staring at the map.
James brightened up at this "it should probably be some frase, though. And if they say it wrong, the map insults them"
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" Remus whispered and Sirius' head snapped up
"Say that again" he said
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"
"Yes, Moony! That's brilliant" Peter said, excited
"You're brilliant" Sirius muttered, his eyes shining in admiration.
He usually looked at him like that, like he had hung the moon in the sky.
Remus would never admit it out loud, but those eyes melted him inside and out.
When I'm sad I just open ao3 and destroy myself more with jegulus fanfic.
