Love.

@wolfstarmicrofic january 24, simple, 200 words

They’re lying side by side on Remus’ bed, when Remus says with a laugh, “You reckon James and Pete got caught?”

Before Sirius has a chance to answer, Remus lifts himself up onto his elbows, leaning over Sirius to pick up the map on his bedside table. Sirius isn’t sure what comes over him, but Remus’ face is right there, hovering over him, and it’s all too simple for him to tilt his chin up and press a soft kiss to Remus’ jaw.

They both freeze at the same time as the shock of what he’s just done hits him. It’s not until Remus pulls back his arm and settles back on his pillow beside him that Sirius allows himself to breathe.

“I – um. Sorry, I didn’t mean to make that weird,” Sirius says, eyes fixed on the curtains above their heads.

He’s surprised by the feeling of Remus’ fingers against his chin, turning Sirius’ face towards him. He’s even more surprised when, fingers holding him in place, Remus leans forward to press their lips together.

And suddenly it all makes sense – the way Sirius craves his touch, seeks it out – because nothing has ever felt as right as this.

Sirius: When I see initials carved into a tree with a heart I think it’s so romantic. Two lovers on a date... one of them carrying a knife for some reason.

Canon Remus was not a hardened orphan living in a group home. He was a chronically ill child raised by loving parents that were willing to FIGHT DUMBLEDORE to protect him. (Literally, Lyall DILF Lupin thought he was coming to take Remus away when Dumbledore personally delivered Remus' Hogwarts Letter)

So no, Remus was not a smooth-talking 7-ft-tall Casanova badass sex God with rippling muscles. He had zero friends before attending Hogwarts due to the fact that his loving parents kept him isolated out of fear that their son's Lycanthropy would be discovered, which would have ruined his life.

Canon Remus was most likely a timid, awkward, sheltered kid that was afraid of his own shadow because Hogwarts would be such an overwhelming experience for a little boy that has never interacted with another child in his LIFE and probably never even left his own home before. I imagine that books were his only connection to the outside world, which is why I can't stand the HC that he is completely illiterate when he first arrives at Hogwarts

tldr, Remus Lupin is the love of my life and is one of the few Marauders era characters with an actual backstory and personality, but this fandom just refuses to move on from a singular fic that completely rewrote everything about him.

And I'm not even going to start on how the Alpha Male-ification of Remus has also resulted in the complete assassination of Sirius' character for the sake of internalized heteronormativity that runs rampant in this fandom.

Sweet Dreams

Remus woke up to an empty bed. He got up and went down the hall. All was quiet, for once. Harry’s sleep schedule had not gotten back on track yet and all three of them were functioning on little sleep. 

He found Sirius in the nursery, staring vacantly forward, Harry asleep on his shoulder. Remus touched his shoulder and Sirius started, and looked up at his with red rimmed eyes. 

“Give him to me, love.”

“No…it’s ok…go back to sleep.” Sirius mumbled. 

Remus shook his head and took Harry out of his arms. The baby curled into Remus’s chest and he laid him down in his cot, without waking him. 

“Sweet dreams.” Remus whispered as he adjusted the blanket around Harry. He took Sirius’s hand and guided him back into their bedroom.

 Sirius flopped down in bed, burrowing into the blankets, falling asleep almost immediately. Remus ran his hand through Sirius’s hair. “Sweet dreams, Moony,” Sirius murmured, as Remus curled around him.

The first time Harry unwraps a birthday present that doesn’t make him want to cry after uttering a tight lipped ‘thank you’ he is nine.

He is turning nine and not waking up in the cupboard under the stairs. He is turning nine and doesn’t have to watch over Dudley’s bacon on the stove and bite his lip as he watches Aunt Petunia scoop a much more abundant portion of eggs in his cousin’s plate. He is turning nine and the carefully wrapped box in front of him is much bigger than anything he had been allowed to keep in his cupboard.

Sirius Black sits in front of him, a nervous smile on his face.

It seemed to be a default for his godfather, Harry thinks. That’s the same nervous smile he had sported when he showed up at Privet Drive announcing he was taking Harry away.

Harry had hidden behind the door, then, quietly listening to Sirius explain his name had recently been cleared and he was Harry’s rightful guardian. He used a lot of big words, explaining carefully as if he had prepared a speech ahead, as if he had got ready for a fight.

He doesn’t need to fight anyone, the Dursleys are all-too-eager to give him away.

Harry packs all his belongings in record time, there hadn’t been much anyways, and he walks out of Privet Drive, number 4 hand in hand with his godfather.

He walks out of Privet Drive, number 4 for the last time and that had felt like a dream come through already.

‘So? Aren’t you going to open it?’ Sirius asks, pushing the gift towards Harry.

Harry nods. ‘Thank you.’

‘No need to thank me already, you haven’t even opened it,’

Harry blinks, confused. Aunt Petunia didn’t like it when he wouldn’t thank them for each thing he was given, from Dudley’s worn out socks to the broken clothes hanger he had unwrapped on his sixth birthday. But Sirius wasn’t Aunt Petunia.

He scratches the tape on the side of the box, careful not to ruin the wrapping,

A surprised sigh escapes his mouth when he sees what looks like a box of LEGOs. It was a big box too, and he knew LEGOs were expensive. But after a second look he realises that it had nothing to do with the bright red toys Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon would buy Dudley, because the pictures on this box moved and bright gold letters spelled out ‘Build Your Own Quidditch Pitch!’

‘I didn’t really know what you’d like,’ Sirius speaks to fill in the silence, he scratches the back of his head with one hand looking rather bashful. ‘I know you probably don’t know much about Quidditch, but your dad loved it, so I thought—‘

‘My dad loved it?’ Harry bites his tongue when he realises he’s interrupted his godfather. He didn’t want him to be annoyed or mad at him but the mention of his dad, and to know what he loved—

‘Yeah, his room used to be full of these gimmicks,’ he says fondly and Harry breathes a sigh of relief, because Sirius wasn’t mad he had interrupted him.

He looks back down at the box, the golden letters and moving figures flying all over the cover. His dad used to love this? He was holding something that his dad used to love.

He doesn’t notice it, the way tears start welling up his eyes, at least not until Sirius stands up looking alarmed.

‘Shi— I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you don’t like this? It’s okay, we can go out and you can choose anything you want as a special birthday treat, okay? We can throw this away—‘

‘No!’ Harry is shocked by how loud his voice is. His arms wrap protectively around the big box on the table and he shakes his head violently. ‘I love it!’

Sirius seems to calm down at once, and Harry feels his hand gently rest against his head and twist his hair.

‘Alright, I’m happy you liked it, sprong,’

‘Loved it!’ Harry insists, eyes still wet.

‘I’m happy you loved it.’

Harry relishes in the soft touch, something he was still trying to get accustomed to.

He was nine years old, and he got a birthday present.

“Is there a name you’d like me to call you?” “Um, yes, it’s… Harry.” “Well, Harry, I think I ought to be honest and tell you that… I’m just like you. I’m transgender too.” “…You are?” “Indeed. And I’m telling you this because I wanted you to know that you are not alone. Never alone. And your parents, Harry, they… they would’ve loved you and supported you unconditionally. Just like they supported me. Never forget that there will always be people that accept us in our most truest.”

New Years Day

The only place to be, on the 1st and 2nd of January, was Sirius' flat. In her tiny kitchenette, he would somehow produce plates piled high with every conceivable hangover curing food. Padfoot always knew what you wanted, three days before you did and had already stocked the fridge.

Remus' full Welsh breakfast, including cockles and laverbread cake. Lily's full English - with black pudding, a head nod to her Scottish Granny. Peter's roll and sausage with hash browns on the side Even though the big fluffy pancakes were supposed to be just for James, Sirius always made extra. She knew he would share them with everyone otherwise and not have enough for himself. The giant mug of chai was the same, if they made a pot James only ended up with half a cup.

A pot of Earl Grey went on the coffee table, nearest to Remus - who could be trusted to make sure it was shared evenly. Sirius himself? She'd lean against the counter, nibbling at a bacon sandwich (streaky and cooked to just this side of burnt black), and sipping coffee.

Hangover potions were provided with each plate, along with a smirk. The clear glass jug of ice water - always with lemon - was a welcome relief too. Eventually Remus would raise an eyebrow, and Sirius would join them, leaning against his legs on the floor. Happy New Year.
