wolfstar are definitely the kind of couple to go grocery shopping where remus is trying so hard to just stick to their grocery list, while sirius is throwing in anything and everything that looks even remotely interesting. remus tries, but can’t even tell him no because sirius is so genuinely excited and adorable
No cuz I’m not exaggerating when I see a notification in my inbox on Ao3 I literally start giggling and kicking my feetðŸ˜ðŸ˜
friendly reminder that sirius chased his own tail and jumped at pigeons as padfoot because it made harry laugh
Remus: *stands up and all of his joints make horrifying noises*
Sirius, falling to his knees: rail me rail me rail me rail me
Remus: *drinks tea and immediately burns his tongue*
Sirius: Do you need me to kiss it better? Because I will.

the marauders picking up habits from each other. they all run their hands through their hair like james. they pinch the bridge of their nose like remus. they tilt their heads like sirius when they're thinking. they bite their thumbs like peter when they're stressed.
Ok but what if Remus was a pirate and stole noble Sirius' most valuable possession... So Sirius goes to hunt him down... But then they fall in love

Remus Lupin is cigarette burns in knitted jumpers, tea stained journals, mismatched socks, late night study sessions and unfinished poety about the stars
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.
