I'm on my way to Holyhead.

And unless there is a priest who is also a musician and flirts with me in both roles without letting me know that he is both people, then I choose violence.

cupid

On the tiny stage in the corner of The Hollow is Remus’ favourite place to be, with his battered guitar in hand and a microphone before him. The pub is fairly packed, as it is for the weekly open-mic night. This song was one of the first Remus learned to play, and an old favourite with the usual crowd.

“It's been some time since we last spoke, this is gonna sound like a bad joke,” Remus sings, smiling as he sees Marlene and Lily singing along at their table. The chords flow from his fingers without him having to even think about it. “But momma I fell in love again, it's safe to say I have a new lover.”

That’s the moment James sits down at the table, and there’s someone else with him that Remus catches a glimpse of through the dim pub lighting. His breath catches in his throat: shaggy black hair and high cheekbones, lean muscle and long limbs. Instantly, Remus is struck, his fingers nearly faltering on the frets of his guitar. He knows it’s James’ friend from back home coming to visit but that doesn’t make the way he feels any easier. Shit, the next line seems even more poignant now.

“And I know it sounds so old, but cupid got me in a chokehold.”

songs for my moots, pt.3

god, this is for one of my favourite moots and the one person I feel I can reach out to any time. @irateturtles ilysm. ur heart is gold. based off of the prompt :

also, I'm 100% sure I was possessed by a gay cowboy while singing this so. southern sirius black, anyone?

lyrics :

[i am not from south america. i don't even come from america! why do i sound like a cowboy]

i'm feelin' moony, right down to my rotten core like somethin' that you know is there but don't believe moony, like a dog at your front door, waitin' in the rain for you to feel

oh the way that you look tonight, the moon in your starry eyes i can't help, but feel some typa way the way your laugh is flatterin', i drink it in like the wine we sip and i can't look away

im feelin' moony, like a drunk boy on the roof prayin' his loony smile don't reveal

how he feel inside, for a boy who thinks he's kind who believes, who believes

oh my poor, dyin' beast of burden, i love you like the fleas on your back like the roll-in, swept up heat of summer, aching at your weary bones it's time to come home

my rabid, unloved child, who done told you the land won't hold you strong who you love, and who you kiss, don't matter much in all of this, you just gotta stick around

and stay moony, like a little teenage crush like something that you know time will heal moony, like a bedpost in the wind stick around the cyclone when it hits

laugh out loud and sing and bring everything to its knees little man, hand of god

hand in hand, oh, johnny cash, can't hold a dime to what we have i love you, i do

my poor, dyin' beast of burden, i love you like the fleas on your back like the roll-in, swept up heat of summer, aching at your weary bones please come home

my rabid, unloved child, who told me that the land won't hold me strong who i love, and who you kiss, don't matter much in all of this, i just gotta stick around and find out

all my guilt, all my love everything i have won't save me

my kind-ness will not purify me my love will not save my kindness won't bring you back

im feelin' moony, right here with a half-pint glass sitting at your grave like a dog thinkin' bout your smile, the way you'd crack a half-moon joke every once in a blue moon - tonight

i need you, i want you, i cant live without you but i know you're gone.

i swear, if i had proper equipment, i'd be a singer

Except sanpe is the kind of terp that only signs SLS, remus runs into james, CODA, who helps him out.

[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

Remus Lupin being a guitarist who is always playing something old, something popular, or something new (it doesn't matter), and Sirius Black being his biggest fan, sitting very close to him, putting his chin on his shoulder and watching his fingers strumming softly.

The Marauders (Part 2)

@jilymicrofics I swear this time there won’t be as many parts as it happened with Connection and Desperate Times, Desperate Measures but the Marauders, or what is left of them, as a band it's too funny a concept not to be explored from James' POV as well

Prompt: Tempo (prompt 18)

PART 1

Words: 179

James reread the songs listed on the setlist, perplexity furrowing his brows. It wasn’t overwhelmingly long, so it made sense for it to be filled with more energetic tracks, but the venue was much smaller than what they’d been used to lately, and he wasn’t convinced that certain excerpts from their first album were what their audience expected.

“Why don’t we switch The Kiss with Worst Memory?” asked Sirius, who was peering at the paper over his shoulder.

“Wouldn't it be too difficult a transition between its and Careers Advice’s tempo?” wondered Remus, from the armchair he was nestled in. Indeed, he was right, but with only four albums under their belt their choices were rather limited.

“We could ask the fans,” James suggested. “I think they’d appreciate, and I’m sure there’s at least some of them at the pub down the street.”

“Sure, you're saying this because you suddenly care about other people's opinions, not because you think the redhead we saw pulling up the shutter is cute,” Sirius teased, and for some reason, James felt himself blush.

wading in waist-high water by @colgatebluemintygel (82.060 words) Rating: Explicit Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

modern AU, muggle AU, Great British Bake Off AU

Summary: Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off host. or, Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.” Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Comment: This is one of the best fics I've read in a while, I just love how it almost felt like I was actually watching GBBO with all these lovely characters (I have a special place in my heart for Arthur and all his ties!!) and reading about Remus and Sirius and how their relationship slowly develops and all the tension between them (and the dough kneading!) and the whole forbidden love theme was just PERFECTION. If you haven't read this fic already I highly recommend checking it out!!

[spikybanana]

I just want to shove a guitar at remus lupin and watch while sirius loses his shit ffs or vice versa I'm not fussed

[clios-purls]

Sometimes, sometimes a fic is marketed so directly at you, that you have simply no choice but to spend all day reading it

🌸FLUFFY FRIDAY #51🌸

Bring a toothbrush✨

Five Times Sirius Silently Pined for Remus and the One Time he did Something About it, by [anonymous] (3k)

What it says on the tin. Remus Lupin is not your average man, and Sirius Black is painfully aware of that. Or: here is a series of instances that would be ridiculous if it were anyone but the Marauders. Featuring watermelon seeds, alcohol, leather pants, bad dancing and too many cigarettes.

Pure fluff! Adorable.

Nosebleed, by WrappedUp (8k)

“I can’t have a threesome, Lily. I do puzzles for fun. I drink Ovaltine. I have a mug that says ‘I heart spreadsheets’. And it wasn’t even a present; I went out and bought it for myself because I really do. I heart spreadsheets.”

A muggle au in which Sirius is a pianist and Remus is stupidly oblivious. It’s so incredibly sweet, well-written and lovely all-around!

[soysaucevictim]

Me EDM loving ass thinks it'd be hilarious if someone made a breakcore remix of "Forbidden Fruit."

Up there is contemplating on how in tf one could do a psytrance remix of that song.

Reeeally got space out those stanzas for a runtime of 8+ minutes. Double-time the tempo.

Throw in some random genre shit like electrotango and psychedelic rock and typical goa fair probably bouncing off the the source's instrumental arrangement heavily... so much music theory would be involved.

Especially since psytrance is kind of a antithesis genre to show-tunes/Broadway/musical-theater. (Lyrical content is non-negotiable, more live/acoustic elements, not as genre-blendy, not super heavy post-production, not as focused on instrumental arrangement over lyrical focus.)

... Lowkey I think one reason why I like instrumental-heavy music comes from being an orchestra kid and having mild lang-processing issues w/ lyrical music. :,D

[cornishpixiez]

i’m working on a angsty black brothers fic (with a lot of jegulus and wolfstar) and can’t wait to start sharing snippets over here.

i’m very proud of it, but a little self-conscious since it’s my first fic written in english - not my first language, but i really wanted to try :)

it’s a modern AU focused on art, religion (and lack thereof), and love, where the brothers got unwillingly split up in their teen years for a very fucked up reason - regulus was brought to france whilst sirius stayed at grimmauld place until he found the strength to run away.

they spent 14 years without daring to reach out to each other when fate (a.k.a. james) reunites them once again.

here’s a little something,

CW: angst, depictions of violence and child abuse (implied)

“Regulus looked away, fighting a lump in his throat. He didn’t want to talk about family but he kept thinking of them, and what he did. Sirius’ swollen lips. The way their father stood tall, his signet ring dirty with fresh blood. His mother's claw-like nails carved Regulus’ skin, holding him there - crying and pleading. His packed trunks by the entranceway the next morning. Sirius’ resentful face - behind the window, watching him go.

He focused on how Delacroix mastered the movement of clothes instead. Trying to think of something else. Anything.

Sometimes Regulus wondered if fate existed and if that moment defined what he would become - an artist haunted by his past, mourning the children he and Sirius could never be. He was drowning in nightmares that took him back to an empty Grimmauld Place, and how it felt when his brother left before he could return. The last nail in the coffin.

If he didn’t have art, there was nothing left.”

[birlwrites]

lily is a violinist, she befriends regulus because she needs a pianist to play something for her composition class and she knows (from being friends with sirius) that regulus is a good sightreader

oh my god and if lily is the concertmaster for the conservatory orchestra THEN WHEN THERE'S THE BIG CONCERTO PERFORMANCE SHE'LL BE RIGHT BY REGULUS ON THE STAGE

[elliemarchetti]

The Marauders (Part 3)

My entry for @jilymicrofics’ prompt 27

Part 1 | Part 2

Prompt: Stage

Words: 299

The stage was small, just as Lily had imagined. The venue was close to the pub where she had worked the opening shift, where she had served cheap beers and burgers full of sauces bought at the discount, so she and Marlene had managed to reach it on foot, in spite of the not too promising weather. Nothing, however, would be able to spoil her evening, not even facing a downpour without an umbrella, not after James Potter himself, along with the rest of The Marauders, had stopped at her workplace for a quick dinner.

“You have to be full of energy to do your best,” he had justified himself, after he had ordered enough food for an army. Lily had laughed, perhaps a little too loudly, but no one seemed to have noticed, probably too fascinated by the fact that famous people were sitting together, chatting and exchanging tastes of their respective dishes like mere mortals.

“You should come to the show, if he lets you out in time,” Sirius had told her, after she had brought them drinks, alluding to his portly boss, who was glancing furtively at the trio from behind thick eyebrows.

“Oh, don't worry about Abe: he seems tough but underneath he's a softie,” she replied, trying to sound less enthusiastic than she was. She was talking to her idols, to those who had written, arranged, played, and sung the soundtrack of her entire post-high school life, and her most unattainable crush was looking at her not like you do with a nice, kind waitress you'll never see again but how you do with a girl you hope to have a chance with.

“We should close with Fool in Love,” she overheard Remus declare while serving a nearby table. “It would be definitely fitting.”
