“James formed the Marauders” “James made all the Marauders feel loved” “James taught Sirius how to appreciate hugs” “James never overlooked Peter” “James always let Remus complain to him” “James always defended his friends” okay so when is it JAMES’ turn

Remus is such a loser and Sirius thinks he's the coolest person on earth and I think that's beautiful.

you don't understand, sirius is almost disgustingly gay. but not in a femboy way, in a 70s gay club leather kink way. by the time sirius comes to terms with his queerness & begins to accept himself, the f-slur becomes his favourite self-description. young sirius jumps around dark clubs bare chested and bejeweled, showing off his carefully sculpted muscles. old sirius lounges around his dead parents' townhouse in nothing but a fur coat.

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)

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

Reading fanfiction isn't enough I need to make out with Lily Evans

Remus: *drinks tea and immediately burns his tongue*

Sirius: Do you need me to kiss it better? Because I will.

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.

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

“sirius would be the talker and remus would be the listener”

in public yes

in private, when remus was comfortable, he would talk to sirius for hours. about his books, or something he saw in the halls, or just anything, and sirius would sit there, just staring at the way remus smiles and how he talks with his hands, absolutely smitten

Remus: *stands up and all of his joints make horrifying noises*

Sirius, falling to his knees: rail me rail me rail me rail me

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.

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.

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

No cuz I’m not exaggerating when I see a notification in my inbox on Ao3 I literally start giggling and kicking my feet😭😭

"remus gets so annoyed when sirius asks him for things-" remus would crawl out of his grave to light sirius' cigarette

Literally me with Sirius in my fic… mans been THROUGH it

I always giggle when I think about it...

Am I psycho?

Sirius Black likes his hair braided because it not only makes him feel pretty but because Remus braids it for him and that's the most beautiful part.

sirius and remus arguing about who's last name they want to take

sirius: I'M NOT STAYING A FUCKING BLACK

remus: I'M NOT GOING TO BE WOLFY MCWOLF MARRIED TO DOG MCWOLF

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter

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.

I need art, I need affection, I need passion, I need rawness, I need stability, I need honesty, I need connection, I need communication, I need love.

i wish AO3 had, like, an option to tag certain characters as “main characters” or “side characters” because if you try to find fics about an unpopular character through their tag you end up browsing through like 3000 fics where one sentence mentions them scratching their ass in the background and that’s it 

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.
