Everytime a person portrays Remus as conventionally attractive an angel loses its wings. Not even that, the angel straight up dies.
The world would reach peace if we all accepted the fact that Remus John Lupin? Yeah, that lad has been a loser since birth. He calls the librarian ma’am and bites the skin of his fingers.
So in British secondary terms an absolute freak. Without the marauders this man would’ve been bullied so hard, and it brings me great sorrow to acknowledge it.
That makes wolfstar funnier though. Sirius is meant to be the stereotypical sporty rich boy, but here he is, swooning over the guy he should be making fun of while also not realising this bloke he thinks is miles out of his league actually isn’t. Sirius is just pathetic and queer.
It’s a beautiful dynamic. Give me fourteen of them right now.
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 awkward 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
fundamental differences between wolfstar and jegulus/starchaser:
sirius goes on his tiptoes to kiss remus
regulus grabs james’ collar and pulls him down to his level to kiss him
marauders as things my friends and i have said
Sirius: I'm nonchalant as fuck
Remus: I'm going to push you down the stairs and you're going to let out the biggest scream
Sirius: No? I'm nonchalant, so I'm barely going to reac-
Remus: pushes him lightly
Sirius [letting a girly scream]: REMUS DON'T YOU DARE!
Remus [laughing]: Nonchalant my ass.
“Scary? My God, you're divine.” / “Your beauty never really scared me.” but it's wolfstar <3
Wolfstar “Our story (we) didn't have to end that way,” vs Starchaser “Our story (we) will always end that way,”
Sirius Black is the father of all time. He works on homework with Teddy the second they come home with it, even though they’re just a kindergartener. He kisses every single injury, from paper cuts to broken arms. He carries them everywhere. He reads bedtime stories every night. He celebrates every birthday like it’s a massive milestone. He plays all the silly games they come up with and is completely in character it the whole time, be it dress up, tag, or make believe, he’s down. He never raises his voice, let lone his hands. He wakes up to change diapers or feed in the middle of the night. He welcomes every friend and partner into the house with open arms, so long as they’re good to his Teddy. He attends every parent-teacher conference and pays rapt attention to everything the teachers say. He bakes cookies every weekend and keeps track of all of their favourite foods so they’ll always enjoy what he makes. He buys thoughtful gifts at least once a month just to show his love a little more. He makes time for all of their school plays and sports games and competitions. He brushes their hair even when they’re well past the age he should if they forget to, just because he can. He pays for their wedding and pretends not to cry when he sees how happy Teddy is. He drops off fresh baked goods and leftovers at their house when they move out whenever he can. He shows them how to fix their car and appliances and everything else. He teaches them how to do makeup and hair when they ask. He gives advice on anything and everything. He researches all of their interests so he can have good conversations with them. Eventually, he becomes the world’s greatest grandfather, doing everything he did for Teddy and still being there to help them alone (he babysits whenever he’s allowed because he loves them all so much).
Remus Lupin calls Sirius Black baby!! It doesn’t matter that Sirius is 6’5” and 300lbs with a strongman build, covered in tattoos, heavily pierced, and insanely strong (in all ways possible), he is Remus’ baby. He sits on the ground between Remus’ legs and rests on his thighs while he works. He curls up against Remus’ side, arms around his waist, nuzzling into his neck when he feels too vulnerable. He routinely lays on Remus’ lap and silently begs for forehead kisses and praise. Remus refers to Sirius as “baby” in public and then this massive bear of a man walks over and wraps his arms around Remus and pulls him into his chest and people are terrified. But Remus is just like “yeah that’s my baby! Hi baby!” and Sirius kisses his head and calls him the most heart-wrenchingly touching and beautiful names ever… I love them to death omg
My Marauders group ships! I know that Charity/Peter isn’t popular at all (I’m pretty sure I made it up) but it’s captured my heart. Closeups under the cut! Featuring: my headcanons for their handwriting and eyes, along with the symbols I’ve given them.
I think I hate people because on my fic about Sirius struggling with societal norms and wanting to dress feminine but not wanting to be perceived as weird I explicitly stated TWICE that he wasn’t trans (in that fic) and somebody STILL commented about how it was a great female Sirius fic??? I’m so sorry are we illiterate? Are we dumb? What happened? I literally told you he’s a cis guy. He made a big deal out of it. It’s a fic about how society puts people into boxes based on appearance and he didn’t want people to do that. Where do I go wrong? Did they just not read part of the fic? Did they just close their eyes? It was literally tagged as “boys in skirts” what do you mean female Sirius???
They're the sillies
Remus “he’s too beautiful for me and way out of my league”
And
Sirius “NO I SWEAR IM NOT CRAZY HE IS THE MOST GORGEOUS GUY EVER”
Me when I love somebody so much I write them porn for their birthday (targeted)
Sirius: “No I’m normal everyone thinks Remus is the hottest person alive”
Remus: excuses himself from a party after 10 minutes bc he wants to go knit. Wearing the most heinous jumper even your grandfather would shy away from. Blacks out after one (1) beer. Dies if someone makes eye contact with him. Sits awkwardly in the corner trying not to cry when he has to stay in a party for too long (fails every time). Bones pop 87 times every time he stands up. Cannot sit on the floor or he will need to be picked up bc his back is so bad. Asks Sirius + James + Peter to kiss his booboos bc his mummy used to do it and it made it feel better. Always has at least 3 books on him but needs Sirius to carry them bc he’s too weak. Hates smoking bc he’s worried about cancer. Very awkward. Loser.
I need more sapphic WolfStar with trans Sirius.
I want transfemme Sirius with a buzzcut and a tight little tank top and cargo pants and massive boots and piercings and tattoos. She first grew her hair as long as possible to prove her gender to the Blacks, then, when she ran away, buzzed it and has cycled through every haircut imaginable since, just to stick it to her family that she can be a woman with short hair. She cuts her own hair, too. She pierced her own ears and septum and did stick-and-poke tattoos on her ankles in her bedroom at 12 Grimmauld Place (everything else is done professionally). She’s taller than most men and absolutely uses it to her advantage.
I want fem!Remus who wears ankle-length skirts and 70-year-old-man jumpers and blouses only grandmothers wear. She has curly hair that she doesn’t know how to take care of and usually just wears it in a messy ponytail. She always has her mom cut her hair. She tries to cut her own bangs a few times. She tries to do her makeup on special occasions, but, somehow, it never ends up looking as nice as it does on other people. She spends all day in bed when her monthly cycles match up too closely. She bites her lip and chews her nails.
I need Sirius teaching Remus how to do her makeup. I need Remus teaching Sirius about periods and what it was like growing up a girl and all the little things that she missed out on. I need Sirius seeing an “I <3 girldick” shirt and buys it for Remus (who refuses to wear it in public, but it’s comfy and oversized, so she ends up wearing it at home). I need Sirius who knows about periods, but is fucking appalled to learn how bad they can get, and spends all of Remus’ worshipping her. I need Remus who keeps getting whiplash every time Sirius changes her haircut but cannot get over how nice she looks constantly.
I just need sapphic WolfStar with trans Sirius.
Remus who can’t swim because of his physical disabilities which mostly affect his legs and hips and back. Remus who, despite being a little scared of it, loves the ocean and water. Remus who feels bad every time he sees somebody swimming or a pool.
Sirius who is a very strong swimmer and puts Remus on his chest to just exist in the water with his feet off the bottom for once. Sirius who invests in pool floaties so Remus can swim on his own. Sirius who teaches Remus how to float on his back so he can be in the water without floaties.
Who hurt you 😭😭😭 I was smiling and then I read some of your stuff and I was bawling
LMAO I’M SO SORRY. Tis the curse of being a Marauders Era fic writer 😔
The Marauders? Oh you mean Sirius’ harem
Closeups under the cut!
What if muggle AU Sirius and Remus meet in a mental hospital. What if Sirius is angsty and suicidal from his parent’s abuse and Remus keeps having panic attacks due to being in a car accident that left him physically disabled and they meet there. What if Sirius is grumpy and mean and aggressive because of trauma and Remus is quiet and jumpy and shy because of his pre-existing anxiety. What if Sirius takes a liking to Remus because he never treats Sirius like he’s some kind of bomb about to be exploded and that fascinates him. What if they get close because Sirius looks for people to protect after the death of his brother and Remus definitely needs protecting. What if they get close because Sirius needs someone to support him and help him stay calm and Remus is really good at both of those things. What if they learn to lean on each other and accept help together. What if they sit together and listen to music together while Sirius draws and Remus reads. What if James comes to visit Sirius and he’s so much calmer and even smiles and when he asks about it Sirius talks about this cute boy with freckles and a cane who sometimes needs a wheelchair and has the sweetest laugh. What if Hope and Lyall come to visit Remus and see how much he’s come out of his shell and how much more comfortable he’s gotten, and when they ask why, tells them about this boy with long hair and piercings and the sharpest wit he’s ever seen. What if they slowly get closer and closer and closer while bettering their mental health. What if they fall in love with each other more and more while watching each other become healthier and healthier.
Don’t worry, all, the parent AU is in the works :)
I’ll definitely do my best to get oneshots up at least once a month while I’m writing this, though!
I love writing oneshots and that’s most of what I post buuuut I’m currently simultaneously working on 2 big stories/series (story 1 in series 1 is 65 chapters, story 1 in series 2 is 30 chapters).
The first is a MASSIVE werewolf!Sirius AU featuring lots of angst in the past and some less severe angst in the present that follows him from fourth year to adulthood (guys it’s literally huge). The second is a Sirius-is-a-father AU with, again, a shit tonne of angst, both past and present, that has a big focus on recovery. Both feature WolfStar, big Marauders friend-group stuff, and Sirius and Regulus being close (I know right? I started plotting them a while back, which I hope is a sufficient explanation).
Which one would you guys prefer I work on first? I’m gonna get both of them up eventually, of course, but I struggle to stay focused on one thing for long periods of time so I’m gonna take a break between them.
Sirius Black with a pain kink and Remus Lupin with a marking kink. This leads to Sirius walking around with hickeys on his thighs, chest, and shoulders, scratches up and down his back, rope burn on his wrists, yellowing, bite-shaped bruises all over his body, welts on his lower back. Remus blushes like a tomato every time Sirius’ collar slides down enough for a red mark to peek out. Sirius purposefully wears shirts he knows will make them show at certain angles.
My most lovely Tumblr people, please help. I cannot recall the name of this character for the life of me. I first heard of him because I saw a bunch of posts about him like a week ago, and never heard of him again. His only mention was in like book 5 (I think) in reference to a bunch of death eaters. Only his last name was mentioned, then She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named tweeted to say more about him. His birthday is in December and I’m 99% sure his initials are EM. His first name is like… Elias…
EDIT: I love you @fauna-flora11 thank you for reminding me about Aelius Montgomery :)
Sirius who is so fucking confused when Remus doesn’t hit him. Whose memories of romance are all centred around his parents yelling and hitting, but everyone says marriage means they’re in love, so they must be. Who assumes that blood and broken bones and insults are all as much a part of a relationship as kissing and touching and giggling. Who wonders, one day, when he’s a little high and a little drunk, if Remus really loves him like he says he does if he won’t hurt him. Who gets on his knees and begs Remus to hit him, to hurt him, to make him bleed, because that’s all he knows.
Little Teddy doesn’t know what Daddy’s name is, but they figure it must be either “Moony,” “Love,” “ma Lune,” “Amour,” or “Chéri,” because that’s what Papa always calls him. They assume that at a few of the names must be nicknames, because, as far as they know, people only have one name. They’re pretty sure his name is Moony, though, because that’s what James and Peter call him, too.
Papa laughs for five whole minutes when they tell him their conundrum. Daddy just smiles like he does when they show him their cool jumps and tells Papa something in Welsh.

I have to go back to classes today and there’s a new phone policy so I won’t be able to check Tumblr like god intended me to (constantly like every 5 minutes because I am a fandom obsessed whore for my babies)
So we all know the AU where Sirius and Remus raise Harry, but I have a new suggestion. What if, after Alice and Frank are tortured to the point of insanity and James and Lily are murdered, Sirius and Remus take both Harry and Neville in.
Imagine Harry and Neville being raised as brothers with a solid support network. Imagine both of them having childhoods free of neglect and abuse and expectations. Them being raised with stories of their parents and a household full of love and kindness. Them getting to stay up at night, hiding out under the blankets with a flashlight to giggle about nothing. Them stealing cookie dough and bits of food while Sirius and Remus cook, making a competition out of it. Them going off to Hogwarts together, being sorted together, and having sleepovers in the same fourposter.
Then imagine little Teddy Lupin being born, probably when they’re still relatively young, maybe seven or eight. Them getting so excited, getting in Sirius and Remus’ bed to poke Remus’ stomach and talk to their baby sibling (and sometimes poke Sirius’ stomach just because they can). Them taking it upon themselves to teach Teddy new words and then turning it into a challenge to see who can teach them more. Them rushing Sirius to get them home from Hogwarts quicker every break so they can say hi to their little sibling. Them regaling Teddy with tales of the castle (some of which are more made up than others just to fuck with them) together.
Imagine their family being Sirius, Remus, Neville, Harry, and Teddy, living together and being happy. They all get a happy ending. They get to be safe and surrounded by love. Just… imagine.
So anyways Sirius buys way, way too many presents for everyone and spends way, way too much money. The worst part is that he’s also really good at gifting, so he buys a shit tonne of really great gifts. Remus buys fewer, very meaningful, very good gifts, but he prefers making memories in place of physical gifts. This isn’t to say he isn’t ecstatic when Sirius wakes him up on Christmas morning, nor is it to say that he doesn’t giggle like a little kid when he sits in a mountain of wrapping paper with his new things.
Padfoot curled around Remus while he reads, head in his lap, keeping him nice and toasty, and snarling at the kids who tried to call him “Loony Lupin” or anything else. Padfoot lying across James’ legs, on his back, while he does homework, barking to startle people for fun when they walk by. Padfoot sitting on Effie’s feet, warming them up while she knits, napping, listening to music on the record player. Padfoot balled up next to Monty on the couch, listening to him read the papers aloud and then work on his crosswords. Padfoot lying in bed next to Peter, demanding scratches while he works on homework, nuzzling him lightly whenever he seems stressed. Just… Padfoot being an overprotective, massive dog that likes to take care of his humans and be a cutie (he’s the size of a black bear, most people actually think he’s terrifying).
Sirius loooooves romantic gestures, so he gets Remus flowers and chocolate and all that jazz on their anniversaries and Valentine’s Day and pretty much every holiday. One Valentine’s Day, Remus gets Sirius a nice bouquet (he went to a florist and asked how to tell someone they’re perfect in flower language). Sirius cries.
Sirius literally towers over everyone. He’s like 6’5 and super broad. He’s not touchy, but his favourite form of physical contact is putting his chin on people’s heads (only his closest friends). Remus (5’10) likes cuddling up as close as possible to gather heat, like a little warmth-sponge, and will worm himself so far into Sirius’ personal space that he ends up inside of his jumper with him. James, being the second tallest Marauder (6’0), doesn’t fit unless he hunches over, but he enjoys it the most out of the whole friend group, partially because James is also pretty broad and Sirius is the only one who can make him feel dainty. Peter (5’3) likes it, but feels really short whenever Sirius does it, which is annoying. Lily (5'5) thought it was weird at first, but got used to it and started to find it sweet when he began doing it when she got close after getting with James.
