Sirius and baby Harry
Aw thank you so much! I appreciate that someone cares enough about my silly little rambling to reblog :)
So, I’m writing a werewolf!Sirius AU, and I’ve written this quote from his POV.
“Being alright involves letting his guard down, it means putting his trust in someone else’s hands, it means opening his bleeding heart to show off the monsters living in there, clawing at the organ and smearing crimson over his insides.”
I need you all to understand the amount of symbolism I put into this quote, particularly the second half.
It refers to him having a “bleeding heart” specifically (and I know it’s not in this excerpt, but it’s in the bigger thing) in reference to his childhood, along with monsters (his parents, etc.). This is inferring that he is extremely sympathetic and kind, and, because of everything he went through, he can relate to people’s pain even more, which makes him more empathetic.
The monsters living in there bit is a pretty obvious reference to trauma and self-hate, but them clawing at his heart and smearing blood is also symbolism. Blood is red, which is a reference to how his treatment in his childhood made him Gryffindor-brave, along with extremely passionate (which is what red means in colour theory!).
Also, subtle reference to the phrase “bleed your heart out” (meaning, “to suffer a great deal of emotional pain; to feel extreme sadness for someone else”). My boy has suffered and thinks too much about other people.
Anyways, I just really wanted to show off how much thought I put into this line, please appreciate it :)
AHHHHH
“sirius, i’m stuck,” fleamont called out, tapping the crossword with the tip of his pen. “shade of sky blue, nine letters. come here.”
drying his hand as he came out of the kitchen, sirius sat on the armrest, looking at the paper. “cerulean.”
“doesn’t that have eight letters?” fleamont asked, pushing his rectangle-framed glasses up his nose.
“it can also be spelled as caerulean,” sirius said, leaning forward and pointing to a word at the top of the page. “that’s loquacious; overly chatty,” and gesturing the one somewhere in the middle-right , “demure; modest and reserved. so, not like james.”
fleamont chuckled as james put his hands on his hips in the kitchen.
“as if you’re particularly demure,” he retorted, accentuating the last word right as his mother gave him a look. james leaned down for her to kiss his cheek; euphemia patted it affectionately.
“i’ll be out to buy some groceries for dinner,” she said, “i should be home in about an hour or so.”
fleamont stood up, groaning as he peeled himself off the armchair. “oh, no, the boys and i are going to take care of that,” he smiled, as sirius and james headed towards the door, bickering, “right boys?”
both of them nodded, their topic of conversation shifting. fleamont put an arm around his wife and kissed her cheek, as james gagged and sirius chuckled at him.
A little teaser for a WIP for an AU :)
I will always and forever give my dearest Reloops a cane and chronic pain + back/hip/leg issues. I’ve been looking for excuses to do a Remus-centric fic in which he gets to have a cane + crutches + walker + wheelchair depending on his physical abilities/pain levels/weakness each day. Remus with chronic illness is also very dear to my heart. Disabled Remus is general is just really awesome, in my opinion. Lycanthropy is such a good metaphor for disability and, even in non-muggle AUs, there’s no way such brutal transformations twice a month wouldn’t affect his physical health.
Maybe this is my sign to start that fic…
fanfiction writers!!! special request to all of you!!! I need more fanfics where Remus needs and uses crutches!!! (especially if in the fanfic Remus has lycanthropy) I only see fanarts but rarely fanfics :(((((
If anyone knows of any fanfics where Remus uses a crutch or a cane, please send them to me!
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT A MISTAKE
Sirius smokes. Remus sits outside to talk to him while he does it. James follows them out and blows bubbles just to hang out with them. Peter follows James out and watches the smoke and bubbles.

Crying rn because I offhandedly mentioned smth in the end notes on a fic bc I was having feelings and most of the comments are referencing that n being so sweet abt it and I just love all you guys sm n feel so overwhelmed w kindness that tears are happening for the first time in like 6 months you guys are the nicest most wonderful human beings ever if you’ve ever commented on any fics ever I love you bc it means so much to us writers
Trans!Regulus makes makes sense to me for a few reasons, honestly.
For one, it explains why it took so long for Sirius to be disowned. We know that the House of Black had very old values, so I can picture them not being accepting of trans people and not wanting a “woman” to be in charge. We know they disowned easily— think about Alphard— but they didn’t get rid of Sirius until he ran away. I could picture them keeping Sirius around to try and have a viable heir.
For two, it would give motivation for Regulus to rethink things. In the end, he did betray Voldemort, but, before that, he was wholly devoted to the cause. Maybe the reason he rethought things is because he realized he didn’t fit the mold, causing him to ask questions, before he figured it out and backtracked.
For three, I just like trans characters. Fuck JKR, she deserves to be pissed off by us making characters trans. I’d make Regulus trans if only to make her upset.
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.
