[chaoticmultifandom28]

I’m just full of prompts.

New prompt: James survived smellydeathboi’s attack because he was out getting something when smellydeathboi came (lily didn’t make it though) and Regulus survived because Kreacher was desperate and got Sirius. But because Dumb ass door was the one to suggest Peter as the secret keeper, the marauders didn’t trust him anymore so they went into hiding and made golems of Harry and James (Sirius knew how to make realistic ones to fool The creepy principal) so to the world no one survived and to keep this charade up wolfstar had to come off as unaware so jegulus raises Harry Potter (it was safer to have regulus live with James because he had a long recovery from nearly drowning) but they aren’t together.

Other facts:

-jegulus pining (regulus fell first but James fell harder)

-it wasn’t a pre established crush for either James or Regulus

-if this goes into Harry’s Hogwarts years he goes by Harley Black (no one can know he’s Harry Potter, and I chose Harley because gender neutral name and also I hate Harrison and Hadrian is too fancy. People at school [teachers and students and creepy old man] think he’s wolfstar’s kid)

-Harry can be paired with either: Draco, Blaise, Fred or George in his later years (while draco is my least favorite for a pairing I don’t mind it)

-I want all the cheesy antics of co parenting

-the ‘are they flirting or do they hate each other’ vibe between jegulus

-if this goes to Harry’s Hogwarts years, you can do what you want but I need Luna to be Harry’s closest friend and for her to be a seer

-I still want the horcruxes to be a thing and for the war to happen but I just want it with jegulus raising Harry so that dumbledore can not manipulate him once he realizes Harley is Harry

Mother's Wish - a Dramione story set in a No Voldy AU.

Posted both FFN and AO3

For his own reasons Draco wasn't concerned with his mother's desire for him to wed. When the Prophet's front page story indicated her son would soon be married, Narcissa was ready to press the issue. On the other hand, Draco knew the time arrived. He and those closest to him long cultivated a plan to ensure his life would be his.

Summary

For his own reasons Draco Malfoy wasn’t much concerned with his mother’s desire for him to wed. Or at least marry in the social event of the year. Narcissa had very little to do with Draco’s life by and large. After Lucius’s death Narcissa claimed the role of house regent and held it over Draco’s head as if she had the actual ability to force her wishes on him. And so when Draco turned seventeen he assumed the role and removed Narcissa’s authority.

All Narcissa’s plans seemed to fade into the mist and she didn’t understand why. When the Prophet’s front page story indicated her son would soon be married, Narcissa was ready to press the issue. On the other hand, Draco knew the time arrived. He and those closest to him long cultivated a plan to ensure his life would be his.

Harry Potter || Yuri On Ice || Miscellaneous

WIP Lily’s Thorn || Rating: Teen || Pairing: Drarry || Harry starts experiencing physical changes two days before the Final Task of the Triwizard Tournament. He doesn’t think anything of it until his fifteenth birthday when the changes escalate and he receives a letter from his mother that will change his life forever. || Tags: Severitus, Enemies to Friends to Lovers || FFN

Disillusioned || Rating: Teen || Pairing: Harry/Daphne || Harry’s fourth year has not been going according to plan, and Harry blames a lot of it on the Slytherins in his year.

Opus Heros || Rating: Explicit || Pairing: Snarry || The Resistance has no other choice but to use a powerful ritual to call upon a hero to defeat Voldemort, despite Severus’s skepticism.

James Potter x reader

Summary: James practices how to ask you out with Sirius and Remus

Wolfstar is established >:)

Warnings: potty mouths

<Marauders era if it wasn't obvious>

She/her pronouns used and I'm open to rewriting this gender neutral

________________________________________

Bursting through the doors of the 6th year boys dorm, James was nearly on his knees. "You have to help me!"

Sirius being knocked out asleep next to his lover Remus, wasn't responsive. "What happened?" Remus asked shutting his book," Are you okay..?"

"Yes and no, Moony I'm- I'm- not me!" His voice was as if a madman had taken control of it. "Why can't I talk to her!" He dramatically fell onto the bed Sirius was practically unconscious on. Though all the beds were the same size, it was like Remus' was always the biggest. Unfortunately for Sirius though, James' collision was just enough to wake him.

"What!? What happened? What touching me?!" Sirius looked down to see his friend holding in a laugh from the foot of the bed," Oh get off of me!" He shoved James off his legs and rolled back over to Remus. "Was having such a great nap too.." He muttered.

"Y/n again?" James nodded," Merlin you're James fucking Fleamont Potter! How is this where you struggle?!" Remus said, the frustration clear.

"I don't know? But she's just so pretty, my God she's so pretty," James gushed. A quiet 'mhm' was heard from Remus' side of the bed as well as the sound of a book opening.

"So tell her? What's the matter with you?" Sirius grasped James' shoulders shaking him back and forth,"Get it together!"

"I'm trying! Can't you see I'm trying? I just-" James through himself back on the bed,"she just- I can't!" He brought his palms to his face.

"You want to practice?" Remus asked not looking up from the pages.

"YES!" Remus mush have jumped since the bed dipped a bit after James' sudden outburst," Dammit Remus your mind!"

"I'm Y/n!" Sirius said raising his hand.

"Now James, just pretend this oaf over here is Y/n and do your best," Sirius gave a side glare to Remus and he returned it with a warm smile.

"Yeah flirt with me, won't you? Can't be that hard," Sirius said flipping his hair.

"Okay okay okay okay oka-" James started.

"You have to breathe Prongs," Remus pointed out.

"I'm trying to remember!" James responded.

"I'll start because you," Sirius looked deep into his friends eyes, seeing the insanity reflecting back,"need it."

"Okay so- Hi James!" He didn't need to talk in a higher pitch but Sirius was always known for going above and beyond.

"Hey uh Y/n. You look pre- I can't do this."

"Why not?" Sirius asked, voice still high and finger now twirling around a lock of hair.

"Remus you have to be joking," Remus sighed, closed his book and walked over to them both.

"You're fired," He said to Sirus. He let out a gasp and walked back over and plopped back onto Remus' bed. "I'll be you, you be Y/n."

"Okay," James didn't even have to think before answering, Remus had that affect on people. "So what do I-?"

"Follow my lead," Remus responded. "Don't you look nice today Y/n."

"Uh thanks," James responded looking nervous.

"Don't get anxious," Remus walked James back to the wall and with one arm on the doorframe said," I have no plans to hurt you, not until you'd like me too," Remus' tone darkened. His eyes glancing down to James lips then back to his eyes. Remus took a deep breath and James' face went deep red.

"Me next?!" Sirius said from the bed. "You were Casanova for me! I miss it!" Sirius said, and as I'd he was a damsel in distress put one hand to forehead and flopped back into the pillows.

"That's it?" James asked.

"That's it. Please don't freeze up though."

"I won't! But-" rustling was heard from behind the door. "No way in hell." Remus turned and opened the door. Marlene McKinnon had somehow smuggled herself up to the boys dorm.

"Which one of you likes my best friend?" She asked, evil plotting smile on her face.

"James!" Sirius yelled from the bed.

"Traitor! We're not best friends anymore."

"Thank you," with that she closed the door and left.

As Marlene headed back to of course tell you everything. Only since you've felt the same for way to long. She heard, as one might say a war, broke out in that dorm.

"...Why..tell her?!" A muffled James asked.

"...Fair...same..me!" A muffled Sirius replied. They NEED to work on their silencing charms.

Putting On A Show

Pairing: Remus Lupin x Sirius Black x Reader

Requested by: anon ‘wolfstar x reader where sirius is tied up by reader and remus sits at the end of the bed and gets off by watching his lovers play??’

Notes: so I imagine the dynamic in this is remus is like the Dom of both Sirius and YN, YN is the most submissive and Sirius is a it of a switch

Warnings: threesome, bondage, established Dom/sub dynamic, Sirius being a brat, praise kink, degradation, masturbation, daddy kink

Gif creds to owner

“Remus,” you said, pushing into Remus’s room, not really paying much attention to what was going on. “I finished that book you lent me, it was really good-oh!”

You shut the door behind you quickly, hugging the book to your chest, biting your lip. Remus was sat in a chair at the foot of his bed, a few buttons on his shirt undone and his trousers tented. Immediately, you realised why; Sirius was sprawled out on the bed, his arms and legs tied to the posts, completely nude. “Sorry, I’ll-”

“No, Princess, come here,” Remus smiled, patting his broad thigh. You nibbled your lip, perching on his lap, eyes flicking over to Sirius occasionally as Remus eased the book from your hands and set it aside. “Sirius here has been… well a bit of a brat today,” your eyes widened as you watched Sirius roll his eyes and stick his tongue out. “And you’ve been being such a good little girl lately, so I thought you could help Daddy out a little bit. Do you think you can do that for me, sweetheart?” You nodded eagerly, smiling as Remus kissed your neck.

“Yeah,” you murmured.

“Good girl,” he smiled. “Undress for me, Princess, right down to your underwear,” you scrambled up, shucking off your shirt and jeans quickly, revealing your simple black underwear. You made to apologise that you weren’t in the sexy lingerie your boys had brought you, but Remus cut you off with a gentle kiss and a squeeze to your bottom. ��Shh, you look beautiful no matter what underwear you have on, darling,”

“I much prefer her without it. Saves money when I rip it off her body,” sirius piped up, and your cheeks heated up, and you hid your face in the crook of Remus’s neck.

“While I agree with you, Padfoot,” remus said, stroking your back gently. “I feel I must remind you that you are being punished for giving me attitude,”

“And you’re gonna get YN to do your dirty work for you?” Sirius said, rolling his eyes. You gasped at his cheek.

“No. If I wanted YN to do my dirty work for me, brat, I’d have her spank you and fuck you with that pretty little strap on of hers until you cry,” he said, pushing you towards the bed gently. “No… instead, I’m going to let YN take her pleasure, do whatever she’d like to you. Go on, Princess,” he said. You bit your lip, looking between Sirius and Remus, before beginning to unhook your bra and step out of your knickers.

“Today would be wonderful, YN,” Sirius said, huffing and pouting.

“Quiet padfoot. And be nice, or I’ll have to gag you,” remus hissed, before nodding encouragingly at you.

“Can I… ride him, daddy?” You whispered.

“Of course you can Princess. But I’d like you to face me when you do. Padfoot doesn’t deserve to look at your pretty tits,” you nibbled your lip and nodded, moving to straddle Sirius in a reverse cowgirl position, stroking his cock to full hardness.

“Jokes on you Remus. I get to look at YN’s arse,” Sirius smirked, and you knew that if his hands weren’t tied, he’d be grasping the globes of your arse, spreading, squeezing and slapping them. You looked over your shoulder at him.

“You’re meant to be being quiet, Siri,” you said, turning back around and holding the base of his cock, lowering yourself down onto it, whimpering.

“Good girl, YN,” Remus cooed, returning to his seat and shuffling out of his trousers, leaving him in his boxers. You moaned at the sight of a little wet patch caused by his pre-cum. “Now… put on a show for daddy,”

You began rocking your hips, your breath coming in little huffs and gasps as you took your pleasure on Sirius’s cock, the tied up man groaning below you. You squeezed your eyes shut briefly, and when you opened them, remus had his cock in hand, stroking over his thick shaft. You moaned at the sight, eyes now fixed on it as you began bouncing. “Good, good girl,” remus grunted, squeezing his cock as you took your pleasure on Sirius’s cock. “Does his cock make you feel good darling?” He cooed.

“Y-yes, daddy,” you whined, reaching up to pinch your nipples, before starting to rub your clit. Sirius groaned loudly at the feeling of you clenching around him.

“Remus…” he moaned. “I’m gonna-”

“Oh, you can come if you want, Pads,” remus smirked. “But don’t expect YN to stop. This is a punishment, remember,”

Sirius gave out a dejected cry, his hips beginning to buck up, causing your moans to tumble from your lips. “K-keep doing that, please, Sirius, please! Gonna make me come!” You moaned out, your fingers down toying frantically with your clit as your whole body began to throb and pulse.

“Good girl,” remus growled, bucking up into his fist, his cock now throbbing for release. “Come for us, Princess,” he groaned as you cried out, tossing your head back as your hips stuttered, your pussy clenching hard around Sirius’s cock, and you could feel his release painting your inner walls as he cried out. Remus grunted, his own come spurting into his fist.

Panting, you stilled your hips, feeling Sirius’s softening cock still buried inside you. “Daddy…” you moaned softly, reaching for remus.

Remus smiled softly at his loves, and with a quick swish of his wand, Sirius’s arms and legs were released, and you felt his elegant hands grasp your hips, and with the help of remus, you were laid between them, two sets of arms wrapping around you.

“Remus,” you mumbled, already feeling a little sleepy as Sirius kissed the back of your neck and nuzzled into your hair. “I think Sirius made up for being a brat,”

[Rec List] The Wolfstar Yearbook: 2003

Happy Monday! Today I have my reviews of six fics from 2003 for you. In my opinion, these are the best, most memorable Wolfstar fics completed that year.

Fics Reviewed:

A Fearsome Business by Canis M.

all souls' day by phineas

House by kestrelsan

How Bitter a Thing by victoria_p (musesfool)

Inhabited By Winter by yahtzee

Three Days by kestrelsan

Reviews after the cut.

Context: Order of the Phoenix published in 2003, both bringing lots of Wolfstar content for those who read between the lines and believed and canonically dooming the ship with Sirius’s death.

Disclaimers:

My selections are based on my based on my subjective taste and what I personally have read. YMMV.

I have done my best to flag potential triggers. Please let me know if I missed something.

I know one of these fics has a different year listed on AO3. I used the earliest posting date I could find on any site but provided an AO3 link for convenience.

I did not consider non-magical/modern AUs for this post, though I do read and enjoy them.

A Fearsome Business by Canis M.

Note: This fic is technically unfinished, but the final chapter ties up enough threads for me to feel comfortable making an exception to my “completed” rule. Love that I'm breaking a rule with the first fic.

Length: 31,609 words

Era: Second War

Trope: Lie Low at Lupin’s

POV: Multiple

Summary: Take one patient werewolf and one twitchy ex-convict: mix well. Add monsters, villagers, and small children. Shake and stir.

My Review: “A Fearsome Business” is a well-paced pre-OotP fic with a more layered, suspenseful plot than most on this list. It’s very atmospheric, with gorgeous imagery and an evocative writing style as well as plenty of well-timed comedic interludes. It opens from the perspective of the kelpie that lives in the tarn by Remus’s house—a fascinating, sinister character in its own right—and the addition of outsider POVs is very effective at further establishing the setting and conveying the mix of uncertainty and familiarity in Remus and Sirius's interactions as they slowly let each other in.

Vibe: Tentative relearning with a hopeful ending.

Illustrative Quote: There comes a point, he had discovered, in the exercise of true patience, when the yearning for resolution must at last dissolve. In the end there was nothing for him to do but relinquish hope—not to push it aside entirely, just to release his grip on it, to let go of the thing that was searing his palms. He had done that, or tried to. He would be hard put not to grasp at it again, now that Padfoot had come to his door.

all souls' day by phineas

Length: 2,007 words

Era: Second War

Trope: Lie Low at Lupin’s

POV: Remus

Summary: Remus waits. Sirius returns.

My Review: Written pre-OotP, “all soul’s day" is quietly expressive in the best way. Every interaction during their awkward reunion feels fragile and suffused with uncertainty. Remus’s confusion about Sirius’s actions and his own reactions makes him retreat into near-detachment as a defense mechanism, and it’s up to Sirius to bridge the gap. The raw emotion is understated but tangible, and phineas has some lovely turns of phrase in this one.

Vibe: Uncertain longing with a happy ending.

Illustrative Quote: Sirius is watching, sitting still but his fingers are twitching around his cup. Remus watches his fingers. Maybe this is it. Sirius will torture him with kind gestures and two feet of distance and beautifully long fingers around untasted tea. If this were the best offer—or the worst—Remus would take it.

House by kestrelsan

Length: 4,113 words

Era: Second War

Trope: Lie Low at Lupin’s

POV: Sirius

Summary: Sirius, Remus, a house.

My Review: This is another one with minimalist writing that gently grabs you and doesn’t let go. There’s a lot going on here, but it’s mostly beneath the surface. (Cue SNL’s Weekend Update segment on the iceberg that sunk the Titanic.) “House” was written pre-OotP, and it’s a comforting AU in which Sirius is pardoned by the Ministry before moving in with Remus. Remus and Sirius do a lot of gardening and slowly come back together. This fic has a sweet and wistful tone, and it’s definitely the lightest one in this list.

Vibe: Quiet recovery with a happy ending.

Illustrative Quote: Stacks of flower pots lined the back of the house. The morning smelled young. Sirius wasn't used to the sun, to the way the air felt this time of the day, before the grittiness of afternoon and the cold dampness of night; to the way the light and shadows made everything seem like it was created just that morning. Just for that moment.

How Bitter a Thing by victoria_p (musesfool)

Content Warning(s): rough (but non-graphic) sex

Length: 1,289 words

Era: Second War

POV: Remus

Summary: They fuck like other people make war.

My Review: The shortest fic on this list, “How Bitter a Thing” is a post-OotP story that’s written in an almost stream-of-consciousness style that makes heavy use of metaphors. It takes place during their year living together at 12 Grimmauld Place. Remus and Sirius have complex feelings about themselves and each other and don’t really know how to move forward at this point. Their relationship is one of suppressed conflict and explosive passion, with something like love hidden underneath the guilt and anger.

Vibe: Resentful need with a hopeful ending.

Illustrative Quote: Sirius is deep and changeable—and treacherous—as the sea, but the sea forever breaks upon the shore, and Remus is a rock, stolid and unyielding over the short-term, even as he's shaped by the relentless drive of Sirius’s personality.

Inhabited By Winter by yahtzee

(Edit - Note: This fic has been hidden on AO3; here is an FFN link.)

Content Warning(s): brief violence and injury

Length: 9,062 words

Era: Second War

POV: Remus

Summary: Remus wishes to be anywhere else; he wishes to be home, wherever that is. Number 12 Grimmauld Place isn't it. It could be, if he were free to choose. But he is not.

My Review: “Inhabited by Winter” amps up anti-werewolf sentiment in a way that feels more realistic to me than Harry’s perspective in canon. Remus’s martyr complex is on full display as he tries to accept that the Order won’t let him be with Sirius, and the tone of this post-OotP fic is bitter but sensual as the two of them balance on a knife-edge of desire. There’s a good mix of Order missions and Remus and Sirius’s quiet circling of one another that they’re powerless to stop.

Vibe: Repressed yearning with a bittersweet ending.

Illustrative Quote: This happens more and more often, now: They walk right to the edge, then step back. Unfortunately, seduction works much the same way.

Three Days by kestrelsan

Length: 11,370 words

Era: Second War

POV: Remus

Summary: Three days at 12 Grimmauld Place.

My Review: Kestrelsan’s understated writing style is also on display in this post-OotP fic. “Three days” is a subdued coming together, with a subtle blend of love and melancholy and “what if.” I particularly like the tangible and vivid descriptions of magic. Grimmauld Place feels three-dimensional and almost sentient, and you get a real sense of Remus and Sirius’s claustrophobia even as they try to make the house into something like a home together.

Vibe: Renewed familiarity with a hopeful ending.

Illustrative Quote: They ate in silence. The space between them had shifted again, into strange uncharted places. Remus didn't know if they were friendly or just neutral. He couldn't tell by looking at Sirius.

Mother's Wish

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/vD37GIp

by LemonsAreFun

For his own reasons Draco Malfoy wasn’t much concerned with his mother’s desire for him to wed. Or at least marry in the social event of the year. Narcissa had very little to do with Draco’s life by and large. After Lucius’s death Narcissa claimed the role of house regent and held it over Draco’s head as if she had the actual ability to force her wishes on him. And so when Draco turned seventeen he assumed the role and removed Narcissa’s authority.

All Narcissa’s plans seemed to fade into the mist and she didn’t understand why. When the Prophet’s front page story indicated her son would soon be married, Narcissa was ready to press the issue. On the other hand, Draco knew the time arrived. He and those closest to him long cultivated a plan to ensure his life would be his.
