working on my next fic…it’s going well i think :D
shoutout to @madefortherain for lurking on my doc <3
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
chapter five of BRTC is here!
Remus’s body aches; Sirius takes care of him.
*grabby hands* WOLFSTARBUCKS CAFE AU!!
ok there’s really not much else to say on this one, sooo snippet!!
i am absolutely not writing this one in chronological order so they are already together in this snippet but it is a getting together fic, they start out as strangers and everything.
also this is almost entirely unedited.
Remus attempts to pick up where he left off like everything is normal. Because it is. A minor accident, that’s all it was. Standard. Run-of-the-mill. Accidents happen.
His boyfriends seem to disagree.
They’re both standing from their stools, and James is already reaching out to take his hand. Their fingertips brush, and he yanks his own back as if the touch is what burned him.
“Moony, baby, come on, let me see,” James says softly.
“I’m fine! I need to finish your drinks,” he replies, a bit snappier than he intended. He’s just…embarrassed. And stressed.
i promise they’re happy he’s just being dramatic 😭😭
Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.
i actually need to know people's thoughts on this because at least in my experience the answer to this has drastically changed since i was on tumblr in the 2010s and its driving me fucking insane
*im talking about fandom takes specifically. not someone being horribly evil about a real-life issue or or blatantly factually incorrect. literally just harmless fandom disagreements or differing interpretations of a text/character/etc.
BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!
but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?
genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.
LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.
"I write for my own enjoyment"
And
"I'm happy when people interact with my writing"
Are two sentences that can coexist!
Happy Passover!
Umm also remus lupin buys a flowy dress to wear for his first date with Sirius because it's comfortable and makes him feel confident, but then gets too self conscious to wear it, and when Sirius finds out, he takes him out again (this time in the dress) and tells him over and over how gorgeous he looks ❤️
really wish i was a cool girl but instead my body cannot differentiate between being dropped into a life-or-death situation and asking for some chicken salad at the deli counter
