SO real. I could, maybe, hypothetically still get behind prongs but wormtail and padfoot???

moony is such a cute nickname 10/10. and then there’s … the other three.

—Come on, it’s our reading time!

—James, I know it bores you to death. You hate reading time.

—Maybe, but I like spending time with you and I don’t hate that.

SO REAL

i love sunshine james and i love soft reggie i really do

but PLEASE someone give me fic recs for arrogant egotistical asshole james becoming obsessed with rude spiteful regulus IM BEGGING

It's like Dostoevsky said your worst problem is you fucked up

James' response to everything, all the time: "Oh, you want me bad."

when ppl say James is oblivious to someone flirting but I know him for the cocky shit he is who thinks everyone is flirting with him.

do you guys want another edit i never put this here

OOF now that's an idea

okay imagine after The Prank, Remus starts hanging out with the Slytherin Skittles. He obviously still hangs out with James and Peter, and Lily, Marlene, and Mary, but wherever they are, Sirius tends to follow. So he hangs out with the Skittles. And of course he won't tell them exactly what he and Sirius are arguing about, so he just says it was a prank. A bad prank. A disastrous one.

And it's obviously a new dynamic between the Skittles and Remus. Of course, his friends are fun and free and love pulling off insane pranks, but the Slytherins... they've actually got a bit of crazy to them.

So Barty, my crazy genius, decides that Regulus and Remus should fake-date to get back at Sirius. It's genius -- Sirius's ex-best friend (and still crush that 'no one knows about') dating his brother. Absolutely genius.

And Remus hates Sirius so much -- hates him because he could never hate him, even after what he did -- decides to go along with it.

So Regulus and Remus show up at the Great Hall, holding hands and looking all love-dovey. Barty is giggling so hard he almost gives it away. Sirius is glaring at them from the Gryffindor table, clutching his knife so hard his knuckles are bone white.

But James isn't looking at them at all. And now he won't talk to Remus, either.

Because James has been in love with Regulus for a while now, but he hasn't told anyone. And one of his best mates is holding Regulus's hand, and he wishes so hard it was him instead.
