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
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.
My headcanon is that Remus has learnt how to braid so he can keep doing Sirius' hair up when it's hot and he complains at Quidditch in the summer that his long hair annoys him. And of course Remus always has a scrunchie for Sirius (unlike Sirius, who always loses them)
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: What's wrong, Pads? You've been mopey all day
Sirius, in a broken voice: Moony said he doesn't love me anymore
James: WHAT!??
Remus: I just said it's too hot to cuddle!
Sirius: All by myself
Remus: It's 40 bloody degrees!
Sirius: Don't wanna be all by myself
You should write the most niche, indulgent fiction that appeals to you specifically, because it will be much more artistically authentic and valuable than corporate slop that has been focus tested to death to appeal to the widest audience possible.
Write for yourself and you will always be making authentic art that has an uncompromised vision, and you will gain an audience that appreciates that.
Sirius: My kink is doing stupid shit and watching Remus speed run the five stages of grief as he realises he still wants to fuck me
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.
a hc i have about james and sirius is that their bond is not perfect. in fact, it’s far from it. they do fight. a lot.
and that doesn’t mean they don’t love each other enough, or they aren’t close enough. no. it’s because they are so close, because they love each other deeply, that they break easily. they know each other’s weaknesses. they know how to rip and get under each other’s skin. they know how to tear and boy does that get ugly.
sirius coming from an abusive home makes him feel alien, like he can’t trust his skin. he feels he’ll end up deranged or worse, just like them. his moods are unstable and his anger is like a punch directed at anyone near him, and james is always near him.
james is human, and only has so much patience in the world. but more than that, james feels guilty. he blames himself, thinking he’s incapable of helping sirius, of helping him recognize the warm, kind hearted soul that he is. james takes the anger out on himself, but there’s still a twinge of bitterness directed at sirius—believing that sirius doesn’t trust james enough to listen to him.
i don’t want to see james and sirius in a perfect little circle hopping around each other like bunnies on a field. i want to see them bite. i want to see them come together and heal together despite the cracks in their friendship.
because though sirius and james are very similar people, they come from very different backgrounds. and surely that’s bound to crash, isn’t it?
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
