John and Paul’s 70s meetings - part three (part one, part two)

Before they drove into Manhattan, Paul telephoned Yoko to establish John’s whereabouts, and was given the phone number at his new apartment. The McCartneys arranged to visit John and May at their new digs on July 26, and they returned for a second visit the next day. Julian, who landed in New York on July 25, had not seen Paul in several years, and told him he had memories of his dad and Paul playing music together at his house when he was growing up. And John and Paul reminisced about the Beatle years, finding that the passage of time had given them both some nuanced insights into those days.

“Paul was here, and we spent two or three nights together talking about the old days and it was cool, seeing what each other remembered from Hamburg and Liverpool,” John told Melody Maker. “When we did a tour as the Beatles, we hated it and loved it. There were great nights and lousy nights. . . . I’ve got perspective now, that’s a fact.”

May remembered the conversation as casual and friendly, though she thought both men were a bit wary. “They liked each other,” she wrote in her memoir, yet “they seemed to feel fragile and uncertain, and they dealt with the feelings by pretending nothing at all had ever been wrong.”

*In a church*

Sirius: Why are you looking at me like that?

Regulus: I just don't wanna miss it when you burst into flames.

sister - february 11 - black brothers - trans regulus - @black-brothers-microfic - word count: 248 - (I used a similar idea in Clandestine, but I can't get enough of it)

Biting his lip, fourteen-year-old Sirius Black stood in front of the mirror and gazed at his reflection for a brief moment. He bit his lip and nodded to himself before opening his mouth to speak. “I have a brother,” he said softly, voice wobbling a bit, lacking confidence. 

He sighed, then tried again.

“I have a brother,” he repeated, voice stronger this time. “His name is Regulus.”

His reflection seemed satisfied, at least.

Turning, he found a stuffed animal on his bed and picked it up, only feeling a little stupid. “Hi, nice to meet you,” he said to the stuffed frog, laughing to himself a little as he grabbed one of the stuffed webbed feet and shook it. “Siblings? Yes, I have one. His name is Regulus. He’s thirteen. He’s a Slytherin and he’s kind of a prat but I still care about him for some stupid reason.”

The empty eyes of the stuffed frog stared at him and Sirius decided that the frog (dubbed ‘horse’ by Peter) believed him.

He looked back to his reflection, swallowing thickly. “Regulus is my brother. Sh-he likes to read and argue and play Quidditch. And he’s a boy,” he told himself earnestly.

Yes. That was right.

He practiced for several more minutes.

“Will you pass the salt to your sister?” Walburga Black asked Sirius several hours later as they sat down for dinner.

“Brother,” Sirius corrected confidently, voice firm.

Regulus’s answering grin could have lit up the entire city.

how it feels to be a jily shipper in a world of jegulus

I love when platonic love and romantic love is so blurred that it doesn’t even matter anymore. All that matters is the devotion that’s there, the unwavering devotion

first heartbreak - @wolfstarmicrofic - word count: 331

"I think I'm homophobic," Sirius says, the words rushing out of his mouth like vomit as soon as he and James are the only ones in the room. He's been sitting with the thought for hours, the idea that he actually could be like his family, and he needs to talk to James, the only person who will never judge him.

James's expression, though, is amused. "Homophobic?" he asks, biting the head off of a Chocolate Frog and offering the rest to Sirius while sitting on his bed next to him. "You?"

"I know, I just..." he pauses to take a bite. "Moony's miserable, yeah? He's been so sad since he and Benjy broke it off...It's his first break-up..."

"Yeah, poor guy," James agrees, then freezes looking at the chocolate in his own hand. "Probably shouldn't eat his chocolate, huh?"

"Yeah, but it's just," Sirius gulps, not wanting to admit it out loud, but knowing he needs to say it, "I'm happy, Prongs. Why am I happy? That's so horrible! I- I never liked Benjy and I'm so fucking glad he's gone, even though Moony's sad!"

James gives him another strange look, throwing the packages back to Remus's bed and fixing him with a gentle stare. "Do you think there's a different reason besides homophobia that you didn't like Beni?"

Sirius purses his lips, contemplating. It was just...the way Remus touched Benjy. Looked at him. Smiled at him and laughed at him. Why didn't he do that with Sirius? He-

"Shit," he swears, eyes bulging as he nearly jumps out of his bed.

"Hm," James nods calmly, taking the last bit of Frog Sirius had abandoned on the blanket. "Would be weird for you to be homophobic when you're horribly gay for Moony yourself, eh?"

And Sirius, blushing, can't even deny it.

"'Course, it helps that Moony only went out with Benjy to get over you, so-"

"WHAT?" Sirius yelps, completely shocked.

Conversations of Chocolate Frogs and homophobia are suddenly forgotten.

Golden trio

It was the 90's! Yeah babe!

I read a head canon saying Harry hated tight clothes after his childhood with the Dursley, always wearing Dudley's too big for him stuff. So here he is in his baggy!

Hermione's in high colored outfit

And Ron with the inevitable combo backpack/army jacket.

I had to get this silliness out of my head *runs away*
