Young Sirius and Remus are always on my mind I love them so much
The night before Valentines Day, Remus Lupin decides to drunkenly send one Sirius Black a valentine professing his love. @goodboylupin Prompt: Love Him
Am i the only one thinks Pads and moony sounds like dad and mommy? XD (yeah in my country, moony were translated as : moon shadow, edgier than moony hum? so many guys saw my comic and see the name is actually moony for the first time and said it sounds like mommy…) Either way, It must be confusing to baby harry tho :0
OH I FORGOT TO SAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMUS!!!!
As I’m still in my all the young dudes phase
Can we just appreciate Remus John lupin and his 15 minutes of fame as the quidditch commentator like that was iconic-
‘Nice one prongs!’
‘Oh bugger, slytherin back in possession!’
‘That’s how you bloody fly!‘
‘OH FU- I mean, FLIPPING HELL!’
‘SHIT, WATCH OUT JAMES!’
‘Get off your arse and referee the sodding match!’
‘Buggering Christ, that was close!’
‘FUCK ME!’
‘WE BLOODY WON! OH, THANK FUCK FOR THAT!’
Not to mention McGonagall was just sat there contemplating an early retirement
Petition for Remus to commentate more often anyone?
Remus: I’m proud to identify as morosexual. I’m attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively. Someone asked me what the Spanish word for "tortilla" was once, and now I dream of kissing them under the moonlight.
Sirius: What kind of animal is the Pink Panther?
Remus, already taking off their clothes: God, Sirius, you’re so fucking stupid.

James: *spits out drink*
Remus: ohhh fuck you-

Sometimes, especially after particularly difficult and draining transformations, Remus would end up delirous, burning with a fever and drenched in sweat. It was in one of those instances during their 5th year that Sirius stayed with him in the nursery, wanting to just keep an eye and take care of him. Remus was so sick and dazed that he didn't quite know if he was in a dream or not, especially when he opened his eyes and he saw Sirius, his Sirius, softly caressing his face and pressing a cold towel on his forehead. He couldn't tell if he was awake or not when he grabbed Sirius and just barely let his lips touch the other boy's just before letting his eyes close. Remus of course didn't remember any of this the next day which is why he couldn't explain why Sirius couldn't look him in the eyes and was o insistent on bringing up his new girlfriend in their conversations all the time
Peter and James definitely had a bet going on about how long it would take for Wolfstar to tell them that they were dating. Remus and Sirius thought they were being so slick and secretive and when Peter stopped yelling "OH YOU JUST COULDNT WAIT TWO MORE WEEKS", James told them that they had indeed heard them fucking like a month into their relationship
seriously, the only consistent exceptions I have seen on this website are odypen, percabeth, and frazel, and getting rid of those would like trying to make patrochilles, solangelo, cherik, wolfstar, or johnlock platonic. it would just be wrong.
and as a straight cis classics major who just finished the iliad for the 100th time? yeah, there is no platonic explanation, those two are a love story to last for millennia and a tragedy to tear your heart just as long.

Girl you're using TUMBLR. THE gayland. What did you expect?
I really want some angst after the prank fics. Do you have any? Thank you!
Oh friend, for many readers this is such a huge part of the appeal of the marauders. There are a few previous lists linked below along with some extra fics on this subject. Hope you find some new fics to love but be prepared for the hurt/comfort feels.
A Simple Fact by trailingoff Whatever happens, whatever he does, whoever he tries to be, Sirius’s father was right about one thing.
The Red Phone by @wanderingbandurria It’s the summer before Seventh year, and things haven’t been easy for Remus Lupin in the past year, between Snape gaining knowledge of his lycanthropy and him giving up his prefecture to avoid casting attention. Things with his friends have been strange too, James angry at Sirius for the first time, and Sirius making less flamboyant displays and making Remus nervous when he catches him looking at him with weirdly fixed eyes. And then, one hot afternoon, a red phone appears in the middle of the Lupins backyard. He takes it, of course, because he is a Gryffindor, goddammit, and even more, a Marauder, and not for nothing.
By the Seaside by shoebox_addict In the wake of 'The Prank,' Sirius visits Wales with Remus over the summer.
all lies and jests by @angwrites The days are measured as such: before Monday, and after Monday. The "after" days come one by one yet all at once, while James watches his friends fracture, and tries to help put them back together. In the end, it requires more than a single motorbike ride or bar of chocolate. It requires learning when to run and when to stand still, when to talk and when to say nothing, when to interfere and when to leave them to it. However...
Several Ways to Apologize by Aria "The thing is, though," Sirius said, addressing the scarlet draperies, "Moony's not going to give me legumes and yell. He's too nice."
Concerning the 25th by Psychomanteum (SilentP) The full moon rises at seven in the evening on December 24th, 1996. This is, coincidentally, the first full moon that Sirius knows Remus Lupin is a werewolf. Not coincidentally, December 25th is the first day Sirius will spend three hours waiting outside a Ministry building.

strangers
regulus black and remus lupin engage in some polite banter
1976, 2:45 AM
astronomy tower
as the end of the school year started approaching, regulus black began noticing the many changes happening at hogwarts.
for starters, the days lasted much longer than he liked, the sky only starting to darken around 6:30 PM.
the air became very wet as well- not warm, but not cold either. the clouds seemed to trap the warmth of the sun, composing the constantly humid weather that graced the school grounds.
finally, the people that he surrounded himself with began getting restless. constantly giddy and overexcited for summer, every conversation turned into plans to hang out over the school holidays.
“reg! you should come visit me and my family paris!” said rosier, who was sitting comfortably on a dark green couch in the slytherin common room. his limbs were lazily dangling off the side as his head rested on the worn down cushions.
regulus looked up from his textbook, meeting evan’s excited gaze.
“i’ll have to ask my mother,”
“why are you reading a potions textbook? let alone one from last year?” dorcas asked, her dress shoes tapping on the hardwood floor as she enters the room. she wore a dark red blouse with long, flowing sleeves and denim pants that flared out by her ankles.
regulus looked her up and down, one brow raised higher than the other as he leaned back in his chair.
“and why are you dressed like that?” he retorted. dorcas smiled, moving her arms rhythmically as her sleeves flowed around her.
“pandora and i are going to see a band,” dorcas shrugged, sitting down next to evan. he tilted his head backwards to meet dorcas’s eyes.
“why wasn’t i invited?” evan pouted, sitting up defensively. dorcas rolled her eyes, crossing one leg over the other.
“girls only.” she replied bluntly, ruffling evan’s bleach blonde hair.
by 12:00 pm, all of regulus’s friends had gone off to attend to their lousy attempts at rebellion or recreation. barty crouch jr was fooling around with a quirky little hufflepuff, evan rosier was getting stoned with a strange selection of people- all different ages and houses, and dorcas had taken pandora to a bar to watch a fleetwood mac cover band.
regulus would’ve rather taken a stroll over to the whomping willow than join in on any of their little endeavours (especially barty’s, obviously), so he decided to spend the afternoon alone again.
regulus black had began spending his nights in the astronomy tower at the beginning of his third year. he barley had any real friends, nor did he make any effort to gain some. despite his lack of initiative to form relationships, it seemed like one had whimsically fallen into his hands.
little 14-year-old regulus was annoyed at first when his older brother’s friend began coming up to the astronomy tower to chainsmoke and read shitty classic novels. remus lupin had the type of quiet energy that demanded solitude. he didn’t tell regulus to ‘go away’ but he sure heard it.
after 2 more nights of remus disturbing his peace, regulus spoke up.
“are there no other places on campus you can loiter around in?”
those few words turned into a few hundred, which turned into a 2-hour long conversation about the ethics of hogwarts as an institution. the conversation turned into a discussion, which turned into yawning and parting ways for the night, only to continue the very next day at the same time and place.
after a few weeks, remus stopped coming. regulus wondered why, but they had never talked about anything personal with one another. regulus didn’t know if he wanted to talk about personal matters with someone seemingly so close to his brother.
a month later, remus returned. this time, regulus didn’t hesitate to ask why he was back. why he wasn’t running around with those clowns he called friends. and remus answered.
“do you ever feel like there’s a weird distance between you and everyone else? and like, you don’t actually want it to be there, but you keep on like… making that distance?” remus asked, his voice tired, but his words fast.
regulus paused. “yeah.”
regulus was now 15 years old. the people that called him a friend were out partying, sleeping around, enjoying themselves- and here he was. back up in the astronomy tower for the first time in months.
he was sitting in a quiet corner, smoking on a cigarette he had stolen from the pocket of evan’s discarded puffer jacket. he flipped through the pages of his old potions textbook as the sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase.
“why are you reading a potions textbook from third year?” asked a husky voice, seemingly coming from the other side of the room.
regulus looked up, only to find a taller version of the boy he once knew. he walked over slowly, a newly formed limp stunting his pace. he was somehow even skinnier and much more pale despite the warmth of the early summer sun.
“just revising.” regulus replied bluntly. remus sat down next to him, leaning against the wall sloppily.
a few moments of silence passed, before regulus decided to speak up.
“we haven’t talked since april.” he stated. his voice was cold, but somewhat inquisitive. remus nodded, offering an affirmative smile.
“i’ve had less trouble sleeping, i suppose,”
remus pulled out a small metal box from his pant pocket. the act of opening it released a soft stench of tobacco and weed. he took out two cigarettes, before closing the tin and setting it down next to him.
regulus put out his first cigarette, taking the one remus had just offered him. after lighting both with his wand, remus took a inhale.
“your brother is a dickhead.” remus stated, letting the smoke exit his lungs.
“yeah, no shit,”
“i’m serious. he’s a full cunt.”
regulus looked at remus, his eyes curious, but his mouth too stubborn to give into his desire to know more.
remus turned around to face regulus as he noticed the look of intrigue in the younger boy’s eyes.
“did i ever tell you what happened on my birthday?” remus asked. regulus shook his head, letting copious amounts of smoke exit his mouth as he debated his response.
“no, you didn’t.”
remus looked down, smiling softly to himself. it wasn’t a smile full of fondness, but a smile that seemed to lovingly scold his past actions and feelings.
“i’m gay.” he said, slowly bringing his head up to look at regulus again. he rested the left side of his body against the wall as he waited for regulus to say something.
regulus’s voice was monotone, as if he didn’t really care rather than mind. it was apathetic, yet understanding. “okay,” he started.
“what does that have to do with your 16th birthday?”
remus took one last hit of his cigarette before putting it out on the wall.
“your brother kissed me.” he said bluntly. regulus nodded, urging him to continue.
“i had a thing for him, i guess. still do. but after that kiss, it all went back to normal, except it didn’t?”
remus rolled his eyes. “he was still constantly fooling around with random girls, but at the end of the day, he would come back to me.”
regulus was confused to say the least.
“for months we’ve been fucking around, pretending like everything’s normal- but i can’t help but feel so fucking angry at him.” remus said, his voice mellow.
“he’s very easy to be angry at.” regulus let out a dry laugh, putting out his cigarette and stuffing the bud in the corner of the wall.
“sirius- my brother, i mean…” regulus corrected himself. refusing to say sirius or james’ names seemed to be a strange expression of respect to each other- a promise of secrecy.
“my brother has a nasty habit of ignoring people like that. we would play card games with each other after he took beatings from my mother. you know, to get our minds off it.” regulus explained, looking to the side of the room as he spoke.
“but as we grew up, he got much colder. i’ve talked to him maybe three times this year. he acts like he doesn’t know who i am.”
remus listened intently, nodding in understanding.
“it’s funny- at family gatherings we still stick together. joke about our cousins while we hide in his room. but as soon as we come back to school, he sees me as nothing. another black family member to watch out for.”
regulus scoffed quietly, turning back to remus.
“i wish he knew you the way i do” remus said casually, lighting up another cigarette. “this would be much easier for the both of you.”
‘i wish he knew you the way i do’
those words lingered in regulus’ mind for a while. did remus know him? of course he did- but he didn’t see him- not the way sirius once did. he didn’t experience regulus- he didn’t talk to him outside of the astronomy tower.
but nonetheless, they were much closer than either of them had liked.
remus paused.
“you know he still loves you, right?” remus asked, looking into his eyes, only to meet an unnerving stare. unwavering in its coldness; its refusal to blink.
“of course he loves me. he’s my brother. but i don’t like it’s the type of love most people are familiar with,” regulus said.
remus tilted his head to the side. “how so?” he asked.
“you know how you love someone because you have to? like, you have to love your parents, even if they’re terrible.”
remus shook his head. “don’t have ‘em” he laughed pitifully. regulus smiled- a rare occurrence. “okay, okay- like… your caregiver?” he asked.
only then did remus nod in understanding. he thought of the coordinator at his boys home. she was an arse, but he still would visit her in the hospital if she got hit by a bus.
“i don’t love my brother like that. i don’t love him because he’s my brother and i have to. but, i also don’t love him as a person? like how you love the red head and her two little friends.”
remus pursed his lips. “so you just love him? not out of obligation or fondness, just cause?” he asked.
“not ‘just cause’. it’s involuntary, yet careful.”
regulus looked at remus, trying to gouge a sense of understanding from the other boy. a sense of understanding in which he received.
“i know exactly what you mean.”
two weeks passed and hogwarts was now empty. remus was couch surfing around wales with a few drug addicts and university burnouts, sneaking into bars and reading in messy rooms while his friends light up in front of him. he didn’t care though, as long as he wasn’t in the boy’s home.
regulus was wasting away his summer at his family home. his spare time was spent in front of his bedroom mirror, practicing polite smiles and agreeable gestures for the endless amount of dinner parties he was forced to attend.
regulus would hear yelling from down the hall as he stared at the mirror, forcing eye contact with himself.
he imagined himself as the voice from the hall, proud and stubborn. and as he looked in the mirror, he saw it.
he saw her.
when his brother knocked on his door in the middle of the night he was half asleep. he got up slowly and carefully. but when regulus finally mustered up the courage to open the door, there was nobody there.
regulus wondered if remus would understand what it was like to live so carefully. he sure didn’t act like it- running a muck around the school and such. but he would know better than to get up for a ghost, wouldn’t he?
or at least, he hoped he would.
it wasn’t until around october of that year that regulus talked to remus again. when regulus came to the astronomy tower for the first time since that night before summer break, remus had changed.
remus now knew what it was like to be more than ignored by sirius. he had been destroyed by him.
