#this is mostly keysie’s fault

[solemilyswear]

I’ve read most of the popular Jegulus fics like Art Heist, Baby!, Best Friend’s Brother, Crimson Rivers, and The Missing Link; and I expected it might make me a Jegulus shipper but instead I came out a moonwater shipper???

Hi! Do you have any recs that are just mostly fun banter? something lighthearted and easy to read 😊

Hi love🌸 Sorry this took ages! I just couldn’t decide. But here you have a few that I adore:

Our Blood, Still Young, by templeg (15k)

It's nearly the last day of fifth year, and Sirius really isn't looking forward to the summer.

Get-together fic (spoiler alert, but really, what were you expecting?) set over the summer of 1976 and into the autumn.

(I’m not gonna comment each fic because there are too many… but I just need to say that this is GOLDEN! It’s hilarious and so so wonderful)

oh, we were bound to get together, by nikkiRA (7k)

For the record, it took Sirius a little over four years to understand how he felt about Remus. It took James Potter about 15 minutes.

A Short Summary of Things That Are James Potter's Fault, by xylodemon (2k)

In which the mistletoe is hexed, Remus would rather not spend the night in a broom cupboard, and several things are James Potter's fault.

Lupin’s Lethargy (and the Litter Lobbing Libertines), by SwissCheesePlant (3k)

It began, as so many of the Marauders’ misadventures did, with a heartfelt sigh and declaration of boredom from one Sirius Black.

Or, in which James is winning, Sirius has a strategy, Peter petrifies a toad, and Remus is just trying to sleep.

A Supplementary Story, by elixirsoflife (5k)

Honestly, if someone told him this morning that he’s going to be attacked by a vampire on his way back from the library, rejected half a second later because apparently he’s not delicious enough for the guy’s liking, and then have said vampire concerned about his health – well, he’d tell them to check out the local GP when they next have the chance.

Surely this isn’t normal?

The Not So Suave Coming Out of Sirius Orion Black (1977), by Keysie (4k)

The first time Sirius Black came out of the closet, it was, ironically, in a closet. Now he's finally ready to tell his friends, but there just never seems to be a right time. So, he picked the wrong time, and just rolled with it. Kinda.

Operation: Toebeans, by moonymoment (28k)

Sirius comes up with the ingenious idea to give McGonagall a Marauders-esque nickname, but potentially getting kicked off the Quidditch team for the sake of mischief is just over the "not-worth-it" line. A reluctant Remus comes up with the idea of using reverse psychology to trick her into calling him Padfoot, so it's only fair they can then call her Toebeans.

Sirius thinks it's brilliant. James is crying of laughter 90% of the time, Peter has a few rare strokes of brilliance, and Lily is pretty damn sure that's not what reverse psychology is.

Harmonicas, Hinky-punks, and Heather, by Squidgilator (23k)

Sirius and Remus get stranded in Scotland on Order business, and decide to walk to Hogwarts. Featuring the Brontës, a harmonica, a shrinking tent, and some self-discovery.

Hopeless, by OfficialStarsandGutters (3k)

You see, it is all very sudden and unexpected. When they parted ways after fifth year, Moony was just good old Moony. Soft, warm, a little tattered around the edges; smelling of old books, chocolate, and a light wolfish undertone that Sirius has only been able to pick up on since Padfoot came around. Moony with his comfy, oversized jumpers, his cardigans, of all things (really, what teenage boy wears cardigans?), his common sense, dry wit, and secret wicked humour.

But when they come back for sixth year, Moony is hot.

The Price of Looking, orphaned (2k)

Remus Lupin has always been blind, and enjoys trolling his dormmates with terrible blind jokes. But when Remus challenges him to let him see a bit more, Sirius definitely rises to it.

Passing the Time, by heart_axe (5k)

Sirius is bored and he's going to make it Remus' problem.
