Got inspired and wrote a little something for @wolfstarmicrofic! CW: (mild) internalized acephobia
11:52pm
Remus is panicking, just a bit.
Maybe more than a bit.
He’s been dating Sirius for eight months, a relationship record for Remus. Embarrassingly long-held feelings for Sirius aside, Remus has never met anyone who was okay with the lack of kissing and sex that dating him entailed. Sirius has been nothing but accepting and even loving; he says he’s fine with not having sex, not kissing on the mouth, even with Remus not sleeping in the same bed some nights.
But Remus can’t stop thinking about New Year’s traditions, and expectations.
The whole kissing thing is just…gross. He can’t. He won’t. And a corner of his brain is adamant that Sirius wouldn’t want him to if he didn’t want to anyways.
11:56pm
James and Sirius rush in from the kitchen, balancing glasses of champagne. James joins Lily and Peter on the floor while Sirius nestles into Remus’s side on the couch, nudging their glasses into his hands. He wraps Remus up in his warm, strong arms and Remus relaxes, feeling the anxiety brewing in his chest lose a bit of its fizz.
“Hi, my Moony. What’s going on in that silly head of yours?”
Remus sighs. “I just, just—you know I can’t kiss you at midnight right? I can’t, it’s…icky and it makes me feel bad and it’s not fair for you to miss out because of me, you’re supposed to kiss the person you want to spend the year with and I can’t—”
Sirius squeezes him tighter, rocks him just a little. “Shh, baby. It’s okay.” His mouth is right by Remus’s ear, voice hardly above a whisper. “You’re being silly. I don’t need a kiss, I just need the year with you.”
Remus tips his head back to look at Sirius. “Promise?”
Sirius smiles at him fondly. “Promise.”
11:59pm
“Guys! It’s 11:59!” shouts Lily. Everyone leaps up and piles onto the couch, Sirius squishing even closer to Remus to make room for all five of them. Lily ends up on James’s lap.
When the countdown begins, they scream along, and when the clock turns to midnight they all cheer. Sirius leans in and presses his cheek against Remus’s with a satisfied sigh. “Happy New Year, Moons.”
Warmth creeps into his cheeks, and Remus is sure Sirius can feel it. They stay there until Remus has gathered the courage to turn to his boyfriend and gently kiss the top of his head. “Happy New Year, Pads.” Sirius looks up at him with a sleepy smile on his face, and Remus smiles back.
«Dear Your Holiness» Remus will probably always be my favorite Remus. Drawing him with a darker skin was challenging but I wanted to paint him how he is described in the fic. I don't know if I managed but well I tried. Thank you @mollymarymarie for writing this masterpiece. It means so much to me and I am forever grateful ❤️
Oh, "Sirius is the big spoon", "Remus is the big spoon"
wRONG
They are SPAGHETTI
They are a MESS OF LIMBS
If someone walks in on them, they can't tell what the FUCK is going on
i don't want to see AI art and i don't want to read AI stories. you know what i do want? typos. you using the wrong word because it sounds just like the right one. plot holes. shaky lines. pencil sketch marks you forgot to erase. a scribble in the corner you didn't crop out. you know why i want them? because they're yours. your typos, your scribbles, your plot holes, your shaky lines. you know why i want them to be yours? because i'm in love with you. i'm holding your hand right now and our pinkies are wrapped around each another. you're pointing out all the ways you're flawed and i'm kissing your forehead anyway
Chapter 7 of BRTC is up!
In which Remus removes chest tape and Sirius learns about it.
The next chapter of BRTC will be the final chapter, which is so surreal to say!
basic fandom etiquette rules if some of y'all forgot
1. don't put ship tags in your hate/anti posts
2. if u hate someone opinion/hc just block or mute them and move on
3. never leave a criticue under people's work, it's not a published book, juts close the fic and find something for your taste
4. always ask artist for permission to repost their art and always use credits
5. if u don't like something click the button mute
6. if u like a art or fic please leave something nice in comments, it will inspire creators and keeps them motivated

hey!!!!! it's super uncool to reblog art from people who are stealing it from other artists!!
I've seen more and more accounts posting other people's fandom art and putting "credit to artist" in the tags -- that isn't real credit, especially if the artist doesn't know!!!! that is scummy behavior!!!
reblogging that stuff happens on accident sometimes for sure (I've done it myself without realizing!!) but I think we should all try to take some more care to make sure that the actual artist is getting credit and appreciation for their hard work and not someone who is ripping down other's art, reposting it, and de facto passing it off as their own!!
ngl i’ve always hated reading wips in fear of them being abandoned (i’ve been burned too many times) but i did this for the first time with @madefortherain as they wrote Don’t Delete the Kisses and it was so fun
i might be a wip reading convert
