The Marauders meeting as a whole group for the in nearly twenty years right after Remus dies and there all having this heartfelt moment until Peter walks in across the room.
And instantly Sirius loses it. Wants to go up to him and fight him and Remus and James have to physically restrain him because he's saying "I'm already dead. The little rat can't kill me again."
And Peter obviously hears this. He kinda shrinks into himself because Sirius could hurt him even without magic, but that's not why he walks away. Not why he gets scared shitless.
No.
He walks away because of the second pair of grey eyes that stand next to James. He gets scared as he remembers the threats given to him by the youngest black brother.
"You betray them, Pettigrew, and I will kill you. I don't care that you're a pureblood, or that your a spy for us. He treats you like a brother, and if you throw that away It'll be your own life your ending."t
He treats you like a brother
At the time Peter assumed he was talking about James. But now, with the look Regulus is giving him from across the room, as Sirius thrashes against the arms of his best friends, he knows who he was truly talking about.
The marauders fandom is basically taking any character from harry potter and saying "ok cool but make them GAY and give them EVEN MORE TRAUMA" and I love that
evan likes to play with barty's hair—pulling strands of it upward. barty never fixes it after, which is why his hairstyle looks messy, sticking up in every direction. despite that, he doesn't mind because he still looks hot in it—he thinks he's evan's hot mess.
Don’t ask me my lgbt+ hcs on the marauders era characters because I DONT FUCKING KNOW
THEY ARE ALL EVERYTHING AND NOTHING AT THE SAME TIME
my favorite version of "sirius finding out about jegulus" is when sirius is worried james (who he views as the straightest person on earth) sees regulus as a girl only to find out that james affirms regulus's identity more than anyone. especially if it involves james and sirius rescuing regulus from grimmauld, and especially especially if this rescue involves sirius and james seeing regulus in a ballgown. what can i say, i have very specific tastes

Barty and Evan are the kind of people to take literal centuries to realize their feelings for each other and then get married the day after having their first kiss/confession.
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, “You alright there, mate?”
Regulus blinks, snapping out of his trance and nods, crossing over to Pomfrey, and signing, “I need a Pepperup for Evan”
“Of course, dear. One moment.” Pomfrey responds, walking off to get the potion.
Once she is out of view, Remus turns around to face Regulus, then signs to him, “You know sign?”
Regulus nods, “Yes, I do.” he signs in reply.
And that is how their friendship started.
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
me watching harry potter in public: “yeah, so those two characters actually have a pretty interesting backstory once you get into the lore of it all…”
watching harry potter alone: *beaten, bruised, tear stained eyes* “—AND NO ONE GOT HIM OUT OF PRISON FOR 12 YEARS. NO ONE EVER EVEN LOOKED FOR HIM. NO ONE EVEN TRIED.”
everyone lowkey judging jegulus’ relationship bc james is a YAPPER and literally never shuts up and it seems like reg can never actually get a word in
but behind closed doors regulus talks and talks and talks until he can’t possibly talk anymore and james just sits and smiles as he listens bc he ADORES to hear about anything and everything that regulus has to say
i love them sm someone sedate me
