James who ran like his life depended on it when Sirius told him what he had done.
James whose only thought was Remus, and the fact that he had to save him from his own self because he knew that Remus would never forgive himself if he hurt Snape.
James who was ready to throw himself to death without another thought to push Severus away from the shack before just as moony is ready to pounce at him.
James who stays by the door the whole night to make sure moony was okay, and then by his side in the hospital wing when he wakes up.
James who holds Remus as he cries his heart out when he hears about what Sirius has done, who nurses him back to health as he becomes a shell of his own self.
James who comes learns how to take the muggle train to go to Whales every day during that summer because he can't apparate yet, even though Remus told him not to come. But he still goes and sits with hope in the living room or helps her around the farm when Remus doesn't come out of his room.
James who keeps bringing him books from Effie's library everyday since Hope told him Remus had been rereading his old books because he didn't want to go out to the library, and so he sets them by his door and sits there with his back against the wood, babbling about nothing and everything through it till the time for the last train back rolls around.
That is, untill Remus opens the door and James falls down on the ground, his eyes wide and his glasses askew as he watched the upside down face of the best friend he hadn't seen in a month.
Remus has a fond exasperated look on his face at the sight of the sweet boy who kept coming back no matter how much he tried to push him away.
They spend that summer running around in fields or sprawled under the shade of the trees as Remus read one of Effie's books and James rested his head in his lap, something that after days evolves into Remus carding his fingers through his wild messy hair, delicately removing his gold rimmed glasses as he dozed off under the shade of the trees while Hope watches them with a small smile on her face from the kitchen window, taking out her camera to capture the sweet moment because she knew that one day the oblivious pair would want it.
Sometimes I want to send you asks on instagram but I get scared bc it's my irl account but the doodle you did the other day of Remus sticking his tongue out makes me unreasonably happy

Whilst we're talking about the new HP show and the authors evident involvement, it's important to remember that the marketing team and likely others will know that Wolfstar and Drarry are the most popular aspects of this fandom.
They'll probably know about All the Young Dudes [David Thewlis and Andrew Garfield have been asked about it in random interviews, so any marketing team capable of basic research will know about it]. They will know that there is an entire community surrounding the Marauders (because there has been for like 20 years, it's not new)
And this information can be used in marketing. The focus has been so much on the author won't make them Canon (true), people are missing that that's not the only way to manipulate an audience into watching.
And it really wouldn't take much.
Just the idea of casting Andrew Garfield, or Ben Barnes posting a filter, or Aaron Taylor Johnson introducing the pet shop boys cover of All The Young Dudes has people who previously had "fuck jkr" in their bio foaming at the mouth for the show. It's already working without them having to do anything
They might queer bait, they might not. But the thing with queer baiting is
you can choose not to bite.
you're not turning your fandom hobby into a job are you? giving yourself deadlines and quotas that you have to meet? focusing on the numbers instead of your enjoyment of the act of creation?
If you want a new marauders movie/show/reboot then you are supporting jkr and also not appreciating the already beautiful fandom created by queer people for your entertainment for free. Pls leave.
«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 ❤️
"IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A ONESHOT!!!" i scream, desperately clawing at the floor, as the fic drags me back into The Depths to continue writing against my will for the rest of eternity
