Zuko: So what’s for dinner? Sokka: I can’t tell you, it’s a soup-prise! Zuko: … Zuko: Is it soup? Sokka: I soup-pose it could be! *winks* Zuko: Please, enough with the soup puns! Sokka: Wow, you’re soup-per mean. Zuko: STOP! *one hour later* Zuko: It’s fucking tacos?!?!?!

What if all fanfiction writers had the same attitudes that so many readers do? What if we treated our stories like content?

Readers: I won’t read WIPs, only completed work and LONG fics.

Writers: I will only post finished works once a year, you will never see 90% of my ideas and have no part of the creative process.

Readers: I will only read works that have tons of views/kudos/bookmarks.

Writers: I won’t update unless I have interest in my story. I’ll post a new chapter for every 100 kudos, 10 comments, and 5 bookmarks.

Readers: I can do whatever I want with fanfics, sell bound copies and criticise them publicly.

Writers: I will delete my fics without warning and never share more.

This is how you end fandom culture. This is how you lose AO3 and access to so many incredible stories for FREE.

✨Fanfiction is NOT content to be consumed! It is community and creative expression. ✨

(Moonwater! I really need to write them their own fic. The nerds deserve to be happy together.) A shadow falls over their table before James composes a reply.

“Hey, Reg. Didn’t expect to find you here, but it’s a nice surprise.” Remus accompanies the greeting with a friendly grin. “James,” he adds with a flinch. Didn’t he notice James at first? But why would he approach them in the first place otherwise? Side note, this hiding spot sucks if so many people found him here. But also. Reg? Since when are Remus and Regulus, which, by the way, sounds like one of those muggle myths Lily told him about, on a nickname basis? As troubled as he is by Regulus’ news and worried about Sirius, he can’t help but observe the scene in front of him with fascination. 

Remus is still watching Regulus with a gentle smile, crooked thanks to the scar that tugs at the left corner of his lips, and James expects a scathing reply, possibly containing any or all of the following: filth, half-breed, scum, impure, not worth to lick the soles of my shoes. Or at least that’s what Sirius has him believe. Instead, the younger Black’s behavior performs a complete turnaround. The aloof amusement shrouding him during the conversation with James disappears as if Remus has put a Disillusionment spell on him. Red blotches pop up on his cheeks, and he sputters for a moment before he replies, and when he does, his voice comes out all squeaky, all its posh enunciation gone. 

“Hi, Remus, uh. Sorry. Hope I’m not intruding. I’ve had—a thing, well, a problem, really, I needed to discuss with James.”

“No, of course not. I’m just surprised because you usually take the nook under the stairs, right?” Remus says as if his familiarity with Regulus’ study habits is normal, then blushes furiously.

What in Godric’s name is happening here?

“Yeah.” Regulus meets Remus’ eyes. 

“Quietest place in the library,” they say in unison, both turning even redder than before. 

James bites his lips to stop himself from doubling over in laughter. Oh, this is beyond excellent. Regulus, stand-offish, holier-than-though, stuck-up Regulus, the pureblood heir par excellence, has a crush on the resident werewolf. You can’t come up with this stuff. And Remus seems to be crushing right back. He’ll so owe him for the wingman service he’s about to provide. 

“Regulus was just telling me how he needs help with his transfiguration work. Don’t you, Reg?” he says, dragging out the nickname. Savoring it. The younger Black stares daggers at him but holds his tongue. Clever boy. He understands James is working in his favor here.

“Really? I’ve got Transfiguration to review for the NEWTS. Maybe I could help you?” Remus offers, guileless. Regulus swivels his focus to him, and the daggers melt into puppy eyes in an instant. If James weren’t beside himself with worry about Sirius, he’d pop over to the kitchens for some snacks and then spend the rest of the evening sitting here, enjoying the show.

“That’d be, um, appreciated,” Regulus mumbles.

"Dreamer's Tale"

Moonwater one-shot, 640 words, angst

“Have you ever been in love?” The question jolts Regulus back into awareness, looking up from his book to frown at Remus. For the past few hours, they had been studying together next to the Black Lake in peaceful silence; well, they had been, until Remus decided to interrupt it with his nonsense.

“Of course I haven’t, I’m only fifteen.” Remus shoots him a disbelieving look, to which Regulus merely raises an eyebrow in return. “Are you telling me that you have been? Love is a fool’s errand, it’s completely unattainable and only leads to heartache. It may be romantic in theory, but that’s simply unrealistic, all of the stories on it are merely a dreamer’s tale. Anyway, who have you found yourself ‘in love’ with? One of the Gryffindor girls, I assume?”

“Nope,” Remus says, the corner of his lips twitching up like they always do when he’s trying not to laugh.

“Tsk, don’t laugh, it was the most obvious guess. Well then, if it isn’t one of the Gryffindors, is it a Ravenclaw? They would certainly match your intelligence, though I was not aware that you were all that familiar with one.” Irritation bubbles up inside him at that, and he runs his hands through the nearby grass, lightly tugging the blades up out of the dirt.

“Reg,” comes the soft response, that he steadfastly ignores, continuing to sulk at the knowledge that Remus had someone he was so close to that he fell in love with them, and Regulus isn’t even aware of their existence. “C’mon, look at me, please?”

Sighing, Regulus lifts his head, returning the piercing stare directed at him. They both sit in silence, as Remus attempts to find something in Regulus’ eyes (what a fool, he would never dare reveal his thoughts so openly like that). The older teen leans forward, and a hand lands atop his own, putting a stop to his destruction of the innocent grass. Regulus freezes, not daring to breathe at how gentle the touch was. While they have brushed against each other before, they usually avoid touch due to Regulus’ distaste of it. For some reason that Regulus can’t comprehend, he has always craved it from Remus, despite that, but was too afraid to reach out first, in case it revealed how weak he was for the other.

“Reg, it’s not one of the Ravenclaws either,” comes the gentle response. Confusion builds up inside his chest, and he squints in disbelief.

“Is this a trick? Are you going to say it’s some character from a novel, or something dumb like that? I’ve never even seen you speak to a Hufflepuff, it can’t be one of them. You would rather be caught dead than talking to a Slytherin, unless it’s one of my friends- wait, oh Salazar, please tell me you’re not in love with Barty. I would actually have to drown myself if that was the case, he would be insufferable about it.” The gentle chuckle he gets almost makes the mental scar of picturing his two best friends together worth it.

“No, I’m not in love with Barty, but he is a Slytherin.”

Icy water floods his veins at the admission. He thought Barty was the worst possible option, but he was so unbearably wrong. Evan would maybe be an okay possibility, even if just the idea of it splinters his heart into a million pieces. The other options though… Remus has to be lying to him, there’s no way he would ever even be friends with the other Slytherins, being in love with one of them is simply impossible. Abruptly, Regulus gathers up his books and stands up, not daring to look at Remus’ face. He heads back to the castle without a glance back, completely missing the way Remus falls apart where he left him.

Moonwater microfic - 422 words - explicit, minors DNI

(vampire!Regulus)

Just as he moves, the figure lunges forward, aiming to grab him. The body slams into him, pressing him flat against the door. While he freezes in fear, the other grabs his wrists and pins them to his side, leaning in close. “Hello, Remus,” it whispers, sending shivers down Remus’ spine. Sharp fangs graze across his neck, threatening to bite down.

“Please,” he gasps, encouraging the other.

The juncture  his neck and shoulder is quickly punctured by the teeth, his blood flowing into the mouth of the other. “Fuck, Regulus.” Groaning, he tilts his head to the side, giving his boyfriend more room to work, allowing the venom from Regulus’ fangs to inject endorphins into his system. 

Pleasure consumes his entire being as he gives in, nearly falling to his knees. Regulus presses closer, holding him up with his own weight and squeezing Remus’ wrists tighter, keeping him still. A whimper forces its way out of his throat before he can stop it, and his face flushes red in embarrassment, biting his lip in an attempt to keep any other noises from escaping. Fangs retract from his skin, and Regulus licks the wound, cleaning up the blood and letting his venom heal the punctures, erasing any evidence of what he had just done. 

“Color?” Regulus mumbles, pressing kisses to Remus’ jaw, who merely groans in return.

“Green, so fucking green.” As soon as he gets the words out, Regulus is dragging him over to the bed by the hold on his wrists, before using his unnatural strength to lift Remus and tossing him onto it. In the blink of an eye, Regulus has straddled his waist and is kissing him deeply, keeping him pressed into the mattress. By the time his boyfriend has finally pulled back, Remus is lightheaded from the lack of oxygen, causing him to gasp in as much as he can, and he nearly misses Regulus’ next words.

“You look so good spread out underneath me like this. I could kill you, if I wanted. It would be so easy, all I have to do is bleed you dry; you wouldn’t be able to escape if I pinned you in place, your strength is no match for mine.” Remus whines at the reminder, attempting to grind his aching cock against the body straddling him. Regulus tsks and raises himself up onto his knees, letting Remus thrust against the empty air between them. “I want to ride you, oui ou non?” 

“Yes, yes, please,” Remus begs, tears blurring his vision.

insomnia on the road

i missed rockstar AU Sirius so much that i don’t even mind that it’s a little oversaturated and i just re-used the already drawn tattooes from the illustratsions of @lovelymasks’ fic instead of coming up with new ones… especially that it’s 2AM and i have to go to work tomorrow so i really should be sleeping by now… just as Sirius on this picture probably🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[amethystheart2421]

I'm currently in the process of figuring out the plot for my Professors Marauders fic that I'm working on, and I'm trying to decide how plotty to make it. So I'm coming for opinions.

The premise is this: Remus leaves during the first war with his friends believing he is the spy. The war ends with everyone surviving. Twelve years later, Remus comes back to teach at Hogwarts, and James, Lily and Sirius all teach there too. (For snippets of this fic, see the #professors marauders tag on this post.)

The question is what gets Wolfstar back together. So...

#my vote didn't help the situation #still exactly even

[amethystheart2421]

They each have enough angst on their own. I love that they are alike in certain aspects, and can understand each other in a way that nobody else could.

You like what you like, that's fine, but it's no reason to yuck someone else's yum. *UNDER THE MOONWATER TAG*, which is where I come to find other people who like the pairing. Why tag a ship just to say "I don't like this"???

I don't have a problem with Jegulus. But I am getting so. fucking. tired. of the Moonseeker and Moonwater tags being usurped by Jegulus posts.

I'm just so tired, y'all 😩

i love platonic moonwater don’t get me wrong

its just that romantic moonwater doesnt sit right with me

remus and regulus are TOO SIMILAR so both of them can’t actually benefit and improve from the relationship

in simple terms,

its missing the angst that jegulus has 😖

[amethystheart2421]

sometimes I get so burned out from the task of surviving the work week that I can't get out of bed all weekend even though I have another task list that I was supposed to get done on the weekend. I hate it.

If someone could just tell me how to function properly that would be great thanks. I feel like I’ve been winging it forever nd honestly this is not easy

'“Pick up a book for me?”

The boy from the Slug Club, Sirius’ brother, stood by the other side of the table. He held both hands in front of his body, enhancing the prefect badge that shone on his chest. The green of Regulus Black’s Slytherin robes glowed in the faint light of the library.

"Pardon me?"

"Can you pick up a book for me? I can't reach it.”

“You’re Sirius’ brother."

It wasn’t a question. It hadn’t been one from the second the boy had mocked him for wearing Sirius’ tie at the party. Remus cringed internally after saying it. Regulus wasn’t as subtle.

“Why, thank you for providing me with that information. Yes, as much as Sirius likes to pretend otherwise, I am."

“And you don’t talk to me, or Sirius.”

“Sirius doesn’t talk to me, and I am talking to you now.”'

 or

With the war as a constant threat held above them, those at Hogwarts enjoy their remaining days of safety and careless youth. Between conflicts and mistrust among his friend group, Remus finds yet one more reason to spike friction, as he nurturs an unusual infatuation with his best friend's little brother.

I really like the idea of Regulus recruiting other people into the Death Eaters. Both because it makes sense (he was sixteen when he joined, still at Hogwarts, it seems like recruiting his peers would be the most useful thing he could do during the school year), but more importantly, because there's so much potential for angst and tragic irony.

Like, let's say Regulus was the first one to suggest joining the Death Eaters to Barty. Maybe he's not the only reason Barty did it, but he put the initial idea into his head, and he put him in touch with the right people. Then, as Barty becomes more and more fanatical and unhinged, Regulus is realizing he's made a terrible mistake - but it's too late to take it back. Regulus dies knowing he gave Voldemort an incredibly loyal and dangerous follower. He dies trying to make Voldemort mortal, and years later, it's Barty who brings Voldemort back.

Or, this is harder to make work timeline-wise, but what if he played a role in recruiting Peter? What if he was the first person they sent to try and persuade him? It would make sense, after all: Regulus is Sirius's brother and would probably know Peter better than most of them. Not well, perhaps, but well enough to know his weak spots and how to manipulate him. Maybe when Regulus dies, Peter hasn't given in yet, but Regulus laid the groundwork that others would later build on. So they both betray their respective sides, without ever meeting in the middle or knowing what the other one did.

Or just in general, by the time Regulus dies, he wants Voldemort dead and would rather die himself than keep working for him. But if by that point he's convinced other people to follow him, and can't do anything to take that back or convince those people he was wrong...

I don't know, it just feels delightfully tragic.

#omg yesss #we need to talk about Ratwater #because this Regulus recruiting Peter idea has been haunting me!!!
