Sirius, winking at Remus: Remus, dropping his books: Peter: "Moony, you good?" Remus: "no. i'm deceased. tell my story."
sneaking this in just under the wire. thanks to @madefortherain for the tag!
(just a short one today because lotf chapter 3 has been giving me Issues)
And that...that earns a laugh out of Sirius. A real one, Remus can tell. He finds himself staring at the way Sirius's smile widens until it breaks open, the way his eyes flutter closed. Every single thing this man does is beautiful.

every time someone says they don’t like fem sirius i will just put him in more little dresses and skirts and give him more leg hair and chest hair and big chunky jewelry and messy makeup and make their shoulders broader and the straps on their tank tops thinner and their heels higher and hair shorter and
yes, their close platonic relationship in canon is important to me specifically because it's both close and platonic
yes, I also ship them romantically, or as part of a romantic poly ship
I refuse to lock myself into a single interpretation of a fictional relationship when there's multiple interesting ways to view it. I can do both
I like when remus is, at his core, a cutie pie
i think it would be sirius' personal mission to make remus look less like one strong gust of wind could finish him off. which means sirius always made a point of sitting next to remus during meals in the great hall. remus would often pick at his food because his appetite was ruined by the toll of his monthly transformations. sirius would pile remus’s plate high with everything he thought the boy needed—roast chicken, mashed potatoes, treacle tart, you name it, it's on remus' plate, and then threaten (affectionately) to feed him himself if he didn't start getting on with it. james would 100% back him at this endeavour as a certifiably insane mother hen ♡
sirius: we NEED to put some meat on all those bones! i can almost see through you!
remus: it sounds like you're trying to fatten me up like a sacrificial lamb, black *shoves some more mashed potatoes in his mouth*
remus has full body chronic pain, keeps dislocating his hip and shoulders, uses a forearm crutch, has chronic fatigue, gets chronic migraines, cracks all his bones (it freaks out the marauders and he finds it hilarious), regularly takes pain meds, has days he struggles to get out of bed, has the worst brain fog ever, random flare ups + activity flare ups
hi so we can in fact enjoy pathetic loser characters without being ableist! i looove pathetic loser remus but it’s disgusting and ableist to say he’s pathetic because he’s disabled…come on y’all, i’m so sick of this.
Honestly I love how wolfstar are both a little pathetic, but they still think the other one is so freaking cool lol
You'll see remus spilling tea all over his grandpa jumpers, complaining about chronic pain, going to bed by nine, hating on every new popular trend and sirius will remain absolutely terrified that one day moony's gonna wake up and discover he's just too cool for him.
On the other hand, sirius trips on every damn sidewalk because he insists on wearing pants too big for his size, whines every morning about his bread crusts and needs remus to kiss any paper cut he might have. And remus is still drooling all over him every step of the way.
peter betrayed lily, too!!! everyone talks about peter betraying the marauders and while, yes, they were friends for years and years, lily was their friend, too. she called him “wormy” and cared about him and trusted him enough to let him be responsible for her son’s life.
peter was lily’s second friend who joined the group that wanted her dead. and it’s so tragic because her death came because of these betrayals, too. snape was the one who told voldemort about the prophecy and then peter was the one who told him how to get to her.
