Sirius: Fuck The Blacks

Remus absolutely has a “Sirius Black only” smile.

You know the one—soft around the edges, a little crooked, like he’s trying not to smile but failing miserably. Eyes impossibly soft.

and Sirius?? he lives for it.

he’ll trip over his own feet, dramatically faint across the couch, steal remus’ tea and say “you weren’t drinking it fast enough, love”

Anything for that smile. And when he gets it?  when remus looks at him like he’s the only star in the sky.

Sirius could die happy.

Sirius: *has been talking for over two hours*

James, quietly: Moony... you know I love him, but...

Remus: Sirius, if you close your mouth I’ll kiss it.

Sirius: *stops talking*

Incorrect quotes based on my friend group.

Regulus: I really like this guy, but I don’t think he feels the same way.

Remus, staring at Regulus dressed head to toe in James’ wardrobe: Yeah… no, he’s definitely not interested.

Sirius Black is white as fuck. He’s pale. He might as well be translucent. He borderline glows in the dark. He spends more than five minutes in the sun without UV protection he’s turning a lovely shade of pink. James (who’s desi) and Remus (who might be welsh but has to explain to people that he is in fact white) scream when Sirius walks into a dark room claiming they saw a ghost and tell him to turn of the light at bedtime because they can still see him in the dark and and

Hello! If you like dead gay wizards from the 70s, this is for you: I'm the author of "The Serpent and the Viper" on Ao3, a fic centering noble Sirius and pirate Remus. It's an enemies to lovers (and I mean that, because they HATE each other), with lots of tension, hurt and comfort and a deep dive into Sirius' inner struggles. I update every 3-5 weeks and go by whiskeyinamug there too. I'm new to tumblr so I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, but if you wanna support a smaller author of the fandom and read a marauders pirate AU, it'd mean a lot if you checked it out! xx

james potter and sirius black are so in-sync that I imagine sirius coming out to james went something like this.

*sirius enters the dorm*

sirius: prongs, we need to talk.

james: *sits up* what's up.

sirius: I'm gay.

james: ...

sirius: ...

james: can I—

sirius: yes.

james: *gets up and hugs him* are you—

sirius: I'm fine.

james: does your mother—

sirius: no, but when she—

james: you know you're welcome—

sirius: I know.

james: ok, good ... wait, was it—

sirius: yes.

james: does he—

sirius: no.

james: you haven't—

sirius: not yet.

james: but you do plan—

sirius: yes.

james: well, go get him, tiger!

sirius: *leaves*

james: *smiles fondly to himself*

peter: ... what the fuck just happened?

regulus wanted to be james. to have sirius' undivided attention like that, to have such a codependent relationship which he could trust to hold. to be carefree and laugh with an abundance of friends like james potter the popular, attractive quidditch king did.

james wanted to be sirius. obviously, not literally - he appreciated his family being as loving as they were and wouldn't want for a second to be in an abusive household like him but... he wanted a little brother. he wanted someone who could actually care about him and take away some of his loneliness. but more than anything he wanted to be loved unconditionally in the way remus and sirius did.

but, arguably the saddest, sirius wanted to be regulus. to have their mother actually love him, or care about him to some extent. to be in slytherin and maybe have people tolerate him more as a black. to just generally have kept to himself more, as regulus did, would have meant so many of sirius' mistakes and regrets never even happened.

so yeah.

regulus wanted to be james. james wanted to be sirius. and sirius wanted to be regulus. of course, each boy loved the other, whom he envied. deeply. but maybe it was tainted with a strong sense of jealousy.

friendly reminder that sirius chased his own tail and jumped at pigeons as padfoot because it made harry laugh
