hello tumblr friends and family and frequent visitors, idk if anyone noticed and/or cared but I have been absent lately bc I’ve been feeling pretty awful about myself and life etc to the point not even wolfstar can fix me so. not doing very great™️.

if you’re feeling neglected by me that’s why. apologies and hope to be back once I feel like myself again and can stand reading/writing/indulging in fandom without feeling like shit. love u all x

[moonheavens]

my relationship with fic and writing is super complicated right now and I hate it so much like... can my brain stop being such a negative ass shitty place for once and let me enjoy the process of writing and reading R/S without doing the good ol' comparison thing thank you so much!

saw a bunch of people on here ask for demi-romantic Sirius … which I, coincidentally, have written … so may I humbly suggest those people read in the centre of a circle …

that’s all for now I’m returning to my writing cave g’bye x

[moonheavens]

“people who celebrate fictional characters’ birthdays are lame”

anyway happy birthday Remus Lupin thank you for being a source of comfort when nothing else was I will adore you forever x

[moonheavens]

Happy Birthday, Remus Lupin. You troubled, compassionate, smart, quietly determined, gentle but with an edge of coldness, patient, thoughtful, anxious, wise but clueless, hopelessly romantic but somehow aloof, bundle of softness with edges.

I guess after twenty plus years, I just can't shake you. I promise to treat you more warmly in my work than you treat yourself.

And I promise Sirius Black has you in his soul.

me finally having inspiration/motivation to write vs the first sunny weekend that feels like spring … my laptop and google docs vs a crisp cider with friends in the park … who will win …

actually NEED to know more about tearing down doors of time (or this life we choose if that’s already been asked) (or both) (lmao) pls pls 🤲

HELLO my sweet angel!! I adore u for asking this you are the best truly...

tearing down doors of time is a story about grief and hope, which I have answered in-depth HERE...

as for this life we choose, this is actually the 9-1-1 x Marauders crossover fic my best friend and I were working on together! not sure if you've seen the show (you should) (it's amazing) but if not, imagine the Marauders and co as firefighters, basically!

for those in the know, this would include wolfstar as buddie, dorlene as henren and jegulus as bathena... (yes, jegulus - I have never been too fussed about them but it's my bestie's fav ship, so I indulge her)

we re-watched the show like 3 times, took intense notes, assigned a marauder to every 9-1-1 character and changed their back stories and plotlines to fit with our whims & Marauders lore & the written format vs TV, and then just said, fuck it we ball and started writing. it was a lot of fun, really, and not to toot our own horn but the plot outline looks amazing.

HOWEVER.... despite us having the first 20 chapters outlined and having some of it written, this might not ever see the light of day simply because I co-wrote it with my bf and it feels weird continuing without her. If it ever gets done, expect a monster of a fic, but yeah. this is on hold for now, y'all...

thank u for asking I adore you endlessly <3

hello! for the wip game, the full extent of what forever is? (my guess is either this or 30 seconds or a lifetime are club remus fic but idk…i’m intrigued by this title regardless though)

hello!!! you are actually so very correct, and I adore you for putting two and two together, the full extent of what forever is totally is my club Remus fic!!!

the title comes from Hozier's Through Me (The Flood) which I adore and I just thought it fit perfectly for a fic that I have described as my "Remus just fully and wholly obsessed with anything Sirius does WIP".

basically it starts with Remus running into his old friend Dorcas in the club, and he catches her up about his relationship with Sirius in a retelling kind of way. truly one for the wet wipe Remus truthers among us, because he basically worships the ground Sirius walks on in this fic and daydreams about marrying him every spare second...

this retrospective format is just super interesting to write and very new to me, so I'm really enjoying it. then there will be a few next "parts" which are kind of just slice of life bits to indulge myself, from job-related things to a vacation to plain old smut to an actual marriage proposal, so yeah. very cutesy and mushy, mostly.

I've been very into established relationship wolfstar recently as a form of self-indulgence/comfort, and this fic and its versions of R/S are the ones that haunt my headspace the most, so it will definitely be written & published at some point. I have plans for them, and all of them are happy ones for a change :)

thank you so so much for asking & being so great about my work <3333

[moonheavens]

I wanna know more about the 'tearing down doors of time' WIP

hello my lovely! I adore you for picking that one bc while it's technically on the back burner, I do really love her and hope to write it someday when I'm in the right headspace and do it the justice it deserves.

tearing down doors of time is what I refer to in my head as "dog fic", funnily enough, even though the dog is only a relatively small part of the plot...

but yeah, it basically follows Sirius moving back to Godric's Hollow after his brother's sudden death. they were close, so he's grieving and basically living a half-life until Lily urges him to babysit/petsit for her friend Remus. Remus is a book author struggling to juggle a small child, two pets, chronic illness, a high-maintenance job and his own emotions.

it's a story about grief and loneliness and allowing yourself to love again after loss, and all the murky, complicated feelings that come with that. it's pretty heavy, but also full of joy and hope, and I would love to finish her one day :) thank you for asking x

[moonheavens]

here to inquire about this starcatchers, inc. wip you speak of 🤲

HELLO sweet angel!!!!! somehow, miraculously, Starcatchers, Inc. is in fact one and the same as fairytale/medieval fic.... it's like your keen brain scanned that list of WIPs and instinctively said THAT ONE!

I actually already answered this HERE so go there for the more in-depth stuff I revealed about the content. but yeah! very, very, very excited about her. still a ways off because it's huge but hoping to start posting somewhere early autumn, if inspiration and motivation and time etc etc allows.

very excited about writing something quite plot-heavy for once, even if some of the loose threads are already kicking my ass (truly @languagelessonswolfstar is a magician for writing this kind of fic as a pantser not a plotter) so I just have a plot outline with a bunch of bold red question marks where the loose ends are, but. I am determined to make this work even if it kills me (which I fear it will)

love u xxx

[moonheavens]

actually kind of insane that I dropped this, answered two asks and then left -- going to finish the rest of the asks and comments now!

⋆ wip game ⋆

thank you for the tag my dear @madefortherain I am endlessly excited at the prospect of more of your writing!!

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

I spoke about my WIPs in depth very recently HERE but never shared the titles so here goes! more than happy to answer any questions about them, especially if that will motivate me to write them (lol) and also interested to see if anyone can link them to the WIPs I've spoken about before...

I am fully aware that I have a slightly unhinged number of WIPs, by the way, and I make no promises about them all ever seeing the light of day. and also, these are "only" the WIPs I have actually written parts for and not even all the ideas I have.... oops?

[moonheavens]

Hiii!! For the wip game: untitled soulmate x rebel fic👀👀

HELLO ANGEL!!!!!! that's such a fun one, it's an idea that has been buzzing around in my head for a long time and I've been chipping away at the story/plot when inspiration strikes, but I want to do it justice so it's mostly a "one day I will finish this" WIP as of right now.

it's set in an alternate universe where people are born with the name of their soulmate tattooed on their body, but the system is imperfect (kind of in the vein of, a relationship is hard work and communication and effort are important and you can't just rely on "fate") so a lot of people are very unhappy with their "forced" life partner. the government (run by Riddle and co, purebloods) is very strict about the soulmate system and rejects any and all opposition, so obviously where there's oppression there's an underground rebellion of people looking to escape their fates and overthrow the system.

Remus was born with Lucius Malfoy on his wrist, so he's due to be married into a pureblood family when he comes of age, so he runs away and seeks out the rebellion. Sirius works for the rebellion (he's a pureblood that ran away from his family's ideals, true to canon) as a tattoo removal artist, which is how they meet.....

it's strangers to lovers, and obviously falling in love in the middle of a civil war with their respective pasts and "hang-ups" is going to be intense. additionally this is obviously a huge undertaking as it's very plot heavy and will need much care and research put into it in terms of freedom fighting, dismantling a government, fighting an oppressive system, etc. so it's a large project but I'm hopeful I can dig my teeth into it one day :) <3

for the wip ask game, i simply must know more about this starcatchers, inc.!

HELLO MY DEAR! HAHA I am truly really glad you picked this one out of the line-up because I really wanted a punchy, eye-catching title for this particular fic... which, drum roll, is of course fairytale fic.

(fun fact, I initially really wanted to name it starchasers, inc. but I didn't want people to associate it with jegulus, so, starcatchers it is!)

I've talked about this a bit before but the general gist is a fairytale/folklore wolfstar love story set in a medieval-esque kingdom, with James as the prince and heir to the throne and Remus as a knight who's his right hand man and protector. I won't reveal Sirius's role just yet as it will spoil things, but trust that he's a very interesting character, and despite being a knight Remus isn't the brave, rigid figure of authority you'd expect him to be either (spoiler alert, he's a horse fanatic, for one).

it's split in four main parts and I'm expecting it to get pretty chunky... there's magic, politics and eventual war, but there's also proper old-school courtship between Remus and Sirius, big emphasis on friendships, and a lot of hope and love and joy, and it'll be a fun adventure!

it's got influences from all over, from Merlin to Aladdin to Rapunzel to a whole bunch of fantasy books and films, and I'm really excited about one day sharing it with everyone :) mwah!!! xx
