Sirius Black Likes His Hair Braided Because It Not Only Makes Him Feel Pretty But Because Remus Braids

“You’ve already left kudos here,”

I DONT CARE LET ME LEAVE MORE. THE AUTHORS NEED TO KNOW MY LOVE FOR THEIR FIC

Remus: You have to let yourself to be loved, Regulus. You deserve happiness.

Regulus: hmm... it's a really good advice, Remus. Why don't you use it?

Remus: Oh, fuck off. I give good advices. I don't take them myself. Any good dealer will tell you to not take your own drugs.

Sirius and Regulus arguing...

Sirius: Oh yeah? I bet you still sleep with that stupid rat stuff toy.

Regulus: Algernon is A MOUSE! And at least I don't use 10 bottles of hairspray every morning!

Sirius: Oh fuck you. At least my hair looks fabulous

Regulus: At least my curls are natural.

Sirius: *gaaasssp*

Everyone: 😶😶😶

James: Oh snap

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.

idc how hard you try you will NOT get me to stop using snorted in my dialogue. i will always use growled and choked and hissed and huffed and grunted and breathed and frowned and sniffed and scoffed and spluttered and purred and snickered and exhaled and whimpered and smiled and laughed and sneered and frowned

i love you words that indicate sound and tone i love you poetics i love you dialogue tags they will never take you away from me i love you i love you i love you

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.

still thinking about how someone in the comments of asfteotw described remus as “efficiently chaotic and proactively cunty” like hello do you personally know rjl?? thank you for seeing him the way i see him. <3

Remus: Wow. James and Sirius and being really quiet today.

Regulus: It’s very pleasant.

Remus:

Regulus:

Remus: We should check on them.

Regulus: Immediately.

And they didn’t know this was their last night spent together
