Sirius May Not Have Liked Regulus, But, As An Older Sibling, I Promise You, Sirius Sure As Hell Loved

Expanding on this post because I still love it:

They meet in university. I’m not sure what classes their respective degrees would have in common, but they both seem like they’d take psychology, so I guess they meet there.

Remus has been subjected to cumulative days of rants and speeches about Sirius’ degrees (he claims it’s to prepare for his classes, but it’s really just because he’s a nerd who likes geeking out).

Remus, after staying up too late preparing lessons for too many days in a row just before summer break ends, has absolutely spoken to Sirius like he’s six years old.

Remus has all of the gifts from his students on his desk. He’s a really good teacher, so he gets a lot. They’ve spilled over to Sirius’ desk now, and he likes complaining about how he wishes his students gave him cards.

They communicate so well. Remus is a pretty good communicator because he learned how to be in hopes of being a good example for the kids, and his experience in helping children explain their emotions is very helpful. Sirius is shit at talking about his needs/wants/feelings, so Remus uses the same tactics he uses on the first graders to talk with him. It’s surprisingly effective

Give me elementary school teacher Remus who teaches first graders and university professor Sirius who teaches physics and mechanical engineering. Give me Remus who takes out a feelings wheel and goes over basic communication skills with Sirius, because he never properly learned them as a child (namely due to Walburga and Orion’s abuse). Give me Sirius who helps Remus make little birthday and Christmas gifts for his students. Just… give me elementary school teacher Remus and university professor Sirius.

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 doesn’t like the closet in their dorm. Why is that?

“It starts when Sirius trips.

He’s alone in the dorm— James and Peter are serving a detention, as they’re the only ones that got caught for their most recent prank and Remus is in the library, studying with Lily. He’s pretty tired, as well; walking about the dorm, fresh out of the shower, not paying full attention to his surroundings.”

I know that Harry is, in cannon, on the taller end of average height, but I just… don’t see it. Like, he was abused and neglected and malnourished all throughout his developing years. Bro is not tall. He’s fucking tiny. Like, within the 5’2 - 5’5 range. He’s so small. Malnourishment and neglect in children, especially in the early stages of life, permanently stunts growth! Harry was very severely malnourished and neglected, therefore he is small. Sorry not sorry.

Anyways Sirius Black

Also the lines on his arms/chest/hips are sh scars because I said so. Fight me. Although! The squiggles on his chest/belly is hair. This is a very messy sketch but I liked it so here.

Lily is a pink girl, Mary is a purple girl, Marlene is a red girl, Emmeline is a blue girl, Alice is a yellow girl, Sybill is an orange girl, Dorcas is a green girl, and Pandora is a rainbow girl. I don’t make the rules.

LMAOO I’m just better like that (she also sucks so it’s a low bar lol)

Me when I love somebody so much I write them porn for their birthday (targeted)

Werewolf Sirius and Remus on the full moon!

This is for an AU I’m still working on and will be publishing on AO3 soon enough :) there is reasons that Sirius is more scarred

Okay I understand that! From what we see of Jily in canon (which was only actually 5th year and then how much they loved each other when they died) they were something akin to rivals back then. Which… they were 16 at most, so, y’know. I do stand by my point that Snape’s relationship with the Marauders wasn’t bullying, but their relationship was inherently negative. They both had friend groups that fought near-constantly, and it was definitely vicious, there’s no doubt about that. I just think that it went both ways and, honestly, I wouldn’t blame them if they were bullying a guy who was, for all intents and purposes, a death-eater in the making (and was very vocal about it). I would also like to note that Snape was obsessed with Lily and her feelings towards James were probably exaggerated to some extent by his negative biases towards James! From what we hear from Sirius, she didn’t actually hate him all that much, just found him a bit annoying (which, to be fair, he was also biased in the other direction, but he’s always a lot more honest than Snape in canon, so I’m taking his word a little bit more seriously). Circling back to what I said about James and Lily’s relationship, based on their actions when they died, it’s very clear that they both grew up a lot and are clearly much better people for it. But you are very right that JKR’s work is always kind of bad, even if it’s canon, so I’m glad that we, as a fandom, have managed to expand on her ideas to something less inherently horrible.

I ship fanon jily but I do not ship canon jily. You're telling me a guy who bullied a girl's best friend, harrassed her, wouldn't take no for an answer when she made it clear she wasn't interested in him, told her he'd stop bullying said friend if she went out with him, ended up marrying said girl? And she had a baby at 21? Sounds pretty toxic to me (even if said 'best friend' was also a dick).

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.
