“bub,” sirius nudged your shaking frame. his eyes were still blurred from sleep but he had heard your whimpers before he woke up. “hey, sweetheart. 's just a bad dream.”

remus pulled open the curtains when he recognises the distinctive noise. he knew you've been having night terrors and that's been bothering you for days straight. his lycanthrope hearing made him rush right over.

“don't shake her,” he scolded sirius before he could press his hands on you. sirius raise an eyebrow in questioning. then how do you plan on doing it? “darling,” he mellowed in the softest voice he could muster, running a hand up and down your forearm. “wake up.”

your stirring halted. instead of whimpers now your forehead twitched as if you were concentrating in waking up.

remus called out your name softly and you finally opened your eyes, letting out a breath in relief when you felt you could move and wasn't stuck in the damp and dark place your nightmare put you in.

sirius frowned at your tear-stricken cheeks, he hadn't even noticed you were crying before turning on the lamp at his bedside table. “hey, you're okay. t'was just a bad dream.” he repeated, helping you sit down and lifting a hand to dry your tears. “it's alright.”

you immediately buried your head in his shoulder, letting more tears fall. sirius exchanged a look with remus and he left for a few minutes.

james’ silhouette appeared at the edge of your bed, drawing sirius' attention. “nightmare again?” he mouthed, adjusting his glasses to enlighten his sight. his eyes saddening upon seeing your curled up frame.

sirius nodded.

“you want to talk about it?” sirius brushes your hair away from your damp neck, pecking the top of you head gently. “you can feel me, right?” he inquired after a moment of silence. your nod was the response he needed to carry on with the sweet affirmations. “okay. this is real. you can touch me, you can hear me clearly... you're here.”

the bed creaked as james sat on it, curls completely disheveled as he refrained five yawns from coming. “maybe we should talk about something else?” he prompted. a smile breaking out on his lips as you glanced at him with interest. “yeah, let's do that. starting with wormtail's monstrous snores, I'm casting muffliato and sleeping here tonight.”

you let out a giggle as he attempted to squirm between you and sirius, who scoffed in faux annoyance.

“hey!” peter roared startling everyone who was speaking quietly. he pointed a finger at all of you's direction but you knew who it was directed at. “i don't snore, prongs.”

james sighs, shaking his head as if he was tired of saying the same thing over and over again. he laid his weight on you, causing you to huff in surprise. “yes, you do, wormtail. it's awful. I sleep right next to you, the sounds you make are traumatic—”

“shut up.”

“no, because sirius can agree with me— and remus! moony, dear. say I'm right. we're kicking wormtail out of the dorm.”

remus ignored all of them and walked over to your side to offer you a cup with tea. you thanked him with a smile, before taking a sip you looked up at him knowingly. “lavender?”

remus hums in agreement, perching down on the bed as sirius gave him some space.

as you finished your tea, you eyed them with a fond gaze. at some point james had ended up laying on your lap, half napping half awake — you took his glasses carefully and placed them on the bedside table, he barely moved. peter was cuddling james’ side, the previous bickering having completely slipped from his mind — he wasn't snoring. yet. sirius and remus were speaking in hushed whispers whilst resting against the headboard.

setting the cup of tea away, you attempted to position a pillow under james’ head as you moved out of the way. he let out a mumble, the middle of his forehead creasing until it smoothed out as if nothing happened.

“where are you going?” sirius frowned, seeing you standing up.

“my dorm,” you stifled an upcoming yawn. “i've kept you awake enough.”

remus rolled his eyes, lifting his wand and muttering accio along with your name. sirius watched with amusement as you cried out in protest. your floating body reached remus’ lap and he accommodated you at his side.

“just sleep here,” remus said.

“you're already in bed, it's more pratical.” sirius poked your side and grinned as you squirmed giving him a glare. “c'mon, bub.”

“and if I have another nightmare?”

“you won't,” remus pressed his chin on your shoulder, “but if you do... then we'll help you fall asleep again.”

a frown etched between your brows. “you won't sleep well like this.”

“yes, we will,” sirius insisted stubbornly.

“we sleep better when you're here anyway,” remus admitted with a shrug, leaning away slightly to inspect something. “we can go to mine, though. it's more... spacious than pads’ right now.”

sirius scoffed in disbelief, earning a satisfied smirk from remus.

“you're trying to steal them away from me, traitor?”

“your bed has barely any space left.”

“then you move out.”

remus turned to you, raising a brow in silently questioning. sirius flickered him on the ear. remus swatted his hand away grumbling.

you chuckled, “stop—stop it. you'll wake them up.” when you finally gained their attention, a yawn interrupted you. “let's just, just go over there. stop being idiots, I'm starting to get annoyed.” you said, rubbing your eyes, now feeling the tiredness of a bad few hours of sleep.

sirius softened slightly, “okay, bub. let's go.” he wrapped an arm around your shoulders, leaning you towards remus’ side of the room. the other boy arrived first, laying in the middle of the bed. “now you're just asking to be thrown off the astronomy tower, moony.”

remus snickered, folding his arms across his chest with a smug expression, “thought you liked to cuddle me, too?”

“not when you're annoying like this.” but the corner of sirius’ lips went upwards betraying him.

you moved to the left side making yourself comfortable on one of the pillows, it smelled like remus; a mix of sandalwood and tinge of tobacco. “don't be loud, I want to sleep.” you ordered, fluttering your eyes shut.

it didn't take long for both of them to curl into each other and bring you closer. you sighed softly involved in their warmth, letting sleep defeat you easily. a little further into the night, two more weights inserted themselves on top of the three of you.

you didn't have any bad dreams again that night.

Headcanon of the day: Remus didn’t mean to tell Sirius he had feelings for Tonks. It slipped out accidentally.

Sirius : If you have a crush, why don't you just ask her out..?

Remus : Easy for you to say, you're not the old and destitute werewolf who's in love with someone young and full of promise.

Remus : 😐

Remus : I just admitted to having feelings for her, didn't I..?

Sirius : Yes 😁..... Yes you did, you lovesick fool.

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

[randommultifandomrants]

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 —send me a shy!reader request for any character (with a plot) and I'll write a >1k drabble

sirius/james introducing shy!reader to remus. and shes just like quiet and in awe, but remus loves it.

luveline's 40k party ☆ tysm for requesting! remus x shy fem!reader

James is used to your personality after months of being your lecture neighbour, unperturbed by your quiet. "It's going to be fun," he promises, handing you a cold glass of cranberry vodka. "They're nice, okay? I won't let anyone irritate you." 

He's hosting a party and had the generosity to invite you round early. He's easing you in, so to speak. It took him two weeks of steady Hellos for you to work up the courage to say Hi back, another two weeks for small talk, a month before you felt comfortable speaking to him first. If you're that shy, a party is basically torture.

"It's not about irritating me," you say. 

"I know, I'm messing." James lists his head to the left. A second later, there's a knock at the door. "Aha. Wait here, shortcake, there's someone I want you to meet." 

"James," you say after him, wet from your glass leaking down to your sleeve, "what?" 

"I asked him to come early and say hello! He's quiet and handsome and you'll love him, just don't stare at his nose." 

What's wrong with his nose? you think, alarmed. 

James opens the door. Two new voices emerge, one scratchy and a little high, the other smoother. "I need to pee so bad," the scratchy one declares, followed by bounding footsteps up the stairs. 

"You alright?" the smoother asks.

You think there's patting, a hug, "I'm brilliant! You smell really nice, Remus, like a garden." 

"Lovely."

"In a good way! Come and meet my Y/N, you remember I told you about her nice gel pens?" 

James leads the smooth-voiced Remus into the living room. You hurriedly put down your drink and stand, wiping your wet hands in your shirt. You cringe at the darkening fabric but hide your grimace as they stop in front of you. 

"Remus, Y/N. Y/N, Remus," James introduces you both. 

Remus has a scar across his nose that seems cruelly cut. There's another beside it that starts in his upper lip, both of which end in his eyebrow. You know how self-conscious it feels to be looked at, so you manage to smile and offer your hand without too much of it. He's handsome with his scars, a nice nose with a ridge and brown eyes the colour of caramelised sugar.

"Hello," Remus says, shaking your hand. His is big enough to make yours feel small. 

"I invited her early because she's more fun than the rest of our lot," James says, throwing himself down on the sofa and kicking his legs out on the coffee table. 

Remus taps your elbow very gently as if to usher you to sit and sits down beside you, enough space to be casual but too little to stop the rampant nerves that blossom in your stomach. 

Remus asks about your life. What you're studying, where you're from, if James is being nice to you. While James is touchy in the rough older brother way, scrunching your shoulder and shaking you when you're not expecting it. Remus is touchy in a different way, you find, almost as if he doesn't know he's doing it. His shoe bumps your shoe, his hand falls down between his outer thigh and your own, his knuckles touching your jeans very lightly. He spins in his seat to talk to you. 

You don't notice other people arriving, nor the scratchy-voiced friends return. All you can do is look up at Remus with wide eyes. Your nerves meld to something warmer. 

"And what do you do?" you ask him. 

He smiles like you've wandered into a secret. "I'm trying to write a book." 

"He's being a bit much," Sirius says to James, the two now loitering in the doorway with matching beers. You and Remus chatter on, unaware of their running commentary.

"It's a very strong reaction. I knew she'd like him, but I didn't think she'd like him like that." James takes a sip of his drink. Remus asks you a quiet question. You duck your head, playing with your sleeves, and Remus, the bastard, ducks his head to follow your gaze, smiling at you all the while. 

James almost chokes, pointing his bottle toward you both as though Sirius isn't already looking. "He's eating it up. I forgot how flirty he is."

"She'll be nice to him, won't she?" Sirius asks, like it's a done deal. To be fair, Remus seems enthralled with you. 

"Definitely. She's very nice. Oh, look, that's sick, she's gonna pass out." James winces as Remus takes your arm into his hand. 

Remus wouldn't do anything cruel, but James wasn't joking when he told Remus that you were exceedingly, achingly shy. He's about to step in and rescue you, but you turn into Remus' touch and pull your leg up on the sofa to make yourself comfortable. Your voice is animated, if quieter than the average person's.

"Woah," James says, beaming.  

Remus flirts almost as a defence, like he wants to get the rejection over and done with so he can move on. You've yet to reject; you're looking up at him in moderate awe, your lips quirked into an easy smile. 

"Boo!" James calls, flicking his bottle cap at Remus, who brushes it away. "Took me three weeks to get a smile out of her," he mutters. "What a dick." 

[in-love-with-remus-lupin]

Headcanon of the day: Tonks constantly got on Remus’s case about the lighting in his room at grimmauld place. He had like one lamp and the ceiling light didn’t have a bulb. It was impossible to see anything. She decided to take matters into her own hands and redo the lighting for him. She replaced the bulb on the ceiling and added a few more lamps. He loved it and begrudgingly admitted she was right about it being too dark before.

OMG...this is so similar to their life too....he believed he liked the dark until she stubbornly brought him to light...only then did he realize how much he loved the light

[aphrcdites]

“not all men”

you’re right, my favorite fictional character would never.
