"No."

"No," Regulus mutters, grabbing at James's hands which pick at cuticles, instead handing him a stress ball without even looking up from his own work.

"No," James replies sternly to Regulus's questioning of his love, always patiently reassuring him that he does not hate him.

"No," Regulus rolls his eyes as James shows him a giant stuffed animal in the store, pointing firmly at the shelf from which he took it.

"No," James shakes his head, refusing to allow Regulus to lift a finger when he is ill, fetching water and potions and food and all the books he needs.

"No," Regulus whispers to a shaking James when, after a nightmare about infidelity, he sobs in Regulus's arms, and asks if he will ever actually leave him.

"No," James laughs warmly when Regulus asks if he is annoyed with him, after he shows up at their shared apartment with more books.

"No..." Regulus gasps, shocked, as James lifts his shirt to reveal the R.A.B. tattooed across his hips.

"No," James wrinkles his nose as he looks at ring after ring, none of them being perfect enough or beautiful enough or amazing enough for the love of his life.

-

"Yes," Regulus cries, shaking, as James reveals the engagement ring he picked with Sirius, both of them half-sobbing as they embrace.

Happy International women working days for all that celebrate.

Let’s work together for a more inclusive, intersectional feminism ( and fuck the TERFs obviously)

We are the granddaughters of the witches you didn’t burn.

Read that while listening to The View between villages and just like that I’m sobbing while walking my dog 🥲

Chime - a wolfstargazer microfic - word count: 303

When they were younger, time had meant freedom; a far off notion, shimmering with possibilities and the potential of things to come.

Then time became a fixed date on the calendar - 31st October 1981 - a way to measure all that had come before, and everything that fell apart.

Time was then twelve years, the days and months running together, marked only by the absence of anything worth marking; a hollowness that stole his youth before he realised what had happened.

And then time was, finally, never enough; when they had found each other and every moment had slipped through their fingers, precious and fleeting, wishing that time was forever...

...until Sirius had fallen through the veil and time stood still.

Remus stood before the clock that they had fixed in Grimmauld Place, that he had let run down and hadn't wound since the moment it had happened. He closed his eyes, struggled to recall its chime, and imagined a familiar voice in his ear whisper, "You should wind it, you know?"

Remus leant into the fantasy, conjuring Sirius' arms around his waist, the scratch of stubble against his ear.

Remus gave a shuddering sigh. "I can't," he said.

"But it took so long to fix it."

"I know."

A pause and the words he then imagined hit him hard, snatching his breath as he heard Sirius say, "It won't hurt like this forever." And then, "You will forget -"

"Never."

"Maybe," he imagined Sirius saying, that infuriating smile playing about his lips, before he said, finally, "But it will get easier to remember."

Remus opened his eyes and turned, lost to the hope he always felt when he conjured him so clearly. But there was nothing. There was no one. Everything was dark. The silence of Grimmauld Place was absolute. He wouldn't wind the clock.

Not usually one for audiobooks but this is SO good. No matter whether you read it already or not, I recommend listening to Clara’s version✨ Chapter 6 coming soon 🫠

Hiya ! Are you the one reading Crimson Rivers on Spotify ? If so, you are so f@!#%$* talented ! I had a 5-hour drive and listened to Crimson River all the way, experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions. You didn't even need to say "Regulus or James says" because you gave each character their own unique voice.

So, massive kudos and thank you 🥰

OHMYGOD???? yes it's me!! thank you so so so much🥺, you truly don't understand how much this means to me! i'm so glad you liked it and that i could entertain your road trip!!

I’m melting, seriously. We love a supporting Minnie ❤️

Sirius Lupin

Thanks, @beautyoftheships for letting me write your idea!

"Mister Black!" Minerva McGonagall called across the classroom, not for the first time, as Sirius and his friends packed up their things.

Sirius ignored her. He seemed to be grinning to himself.

"Mister Black!" Her voice was more insistent, and she approached Sirius's desk, annoyed.

It was only when she stopped in front of him that he looked up.

"Oh! Were you talking to me?" He asked, clearly feigning innocence.

James Potter snorted beside him, but quickly smoothed out his face at the glare she sent him.

"Explain the meaning of this, Mister Black," Minerva demanded, pushing a paper in front of Sirius.

"Professor, that's my test," Sirius explained calmly, his face maddeningly blank.

Minerva briefly questioned why she was not already retired. "Then why does it say Sirius Lupin on it?" she asked, irritated.

"Well, Professor, Moony here's finally lost enough brain cells to consider dating me," Sirius explained sincerely, smiling a bit when he saw the way Remus Lupin, who was on his other side, blushed scarlet. "So I've decided to waste no time and made it permanent."

Minerva stared at him for several seconds, again contemplating her choice of career, before asking hesitantly, "You two haven't gotten ma-"

"No!" Remus interrupted, looking mortified. "No. He's just being ridiculous."

"I just wanted a better last name than mine, Professor," Sirius shrugged. "Merlin knows I don't want to be associated with my family. So who better to be associated with than my Moony, here?" he asked, eyes wide and genuine, a smile playing on his face.

Minerva blinked at this, and looked over at Remus, who looked quite as taken aback as she did, but also thoroughly smitten.

Perhaps it was the fact that she understood why Sirius wouldn't want to be associated with the horrible family he was born into, or maybe it was because she was just a hopeless romantic, but she sighed.

"Don't put it on any official paperwork," she grumbled, hating how she always seemed to have a soft spot for the two.

"Aye, aye, captain!"

Moonstruck

Written for @wolfstarmicrofic prompt 22 February - moonstruck (650 words)

The first time they saw the wolf, Sirius was stunned. Remus had made them wait outside during the transformation. He told them to make sure they were in animal form before they came in. He didn't want to take any risks, none of them did.

So the first time Sirius saw the wolf, it was muted. He was in dog form, colours washed out and scents overwhelming his senses, but he was still amazed. The wolf was huge, almost as big as Prongs, with sharp teeth and predatory eyes. But he was also skinny, ribs sticking out through his fur, and had patchy fur from years of being left on his own to destroy himself. He didn't seem to want to attack the new animals in the shack either. He approached them slowly and sniffed them apprehensively. Eventually, with some persuasion from Padfoot, he began to trust them, and the nights of the full moon became full of games and running freely in the forest.

10 years later, the amazement of seeing the wolf had faded. They had spent almost every full moon together for a decade, and Padfoot and Moony were almost as close as their human counterparts. It had been just the two of them for years now. Peter had stopped joining them at the end of school, when his job at the ministry got too busy for him to take the time off. James had stayed on until Harry was born and he decided to become a stay-at-home dad. Both of them had offered to come back in the years since, but Sirius and Remus had never needed them. They had their routine down: dinner, apparate to the edge of the forbidden forest, walk to the clearing, wait. The next morning, Sirius would heal any injuries and get them back home, and they'd sleep it off for the next day, snuggled close to each other.

The February full moon of 1985 was different for the first time in a decade. Damocles Belby and Lily Potter had had a breakthrough. After years of development and testing, the Wolfsbane potion was complete. And it worked. The Sleekeazy company had funded the project and as a result the potion was now available for any werewolves who needed it. For free.

Remus had been taking the potion for the days up to the full moon, wincing and retching at the taste, but trusting Lily's judgement and expertise. This was a life changer. He could stomach the awful taste if it meant keeping his mind at the full moon.

The transformation was the same as always, despite a change in location. Sirius had to hold back tears as he listened to Remus's screams echoing throughout their flat, grateful for the silencing charms keeping their neighbours from hearing the noise.

When Remus emerged from their bedroom, still insisting on transforming out of sight, Sirius was struck by the sight of the wolf for the first time since he was fifteen. He was used the the size of the animal by now, as well as the lush fur and healthy appearance that had come in the years the marauders had spent with Moony, but this was the first time he had seen the wolf in his human form. For the first time, he could sink his fingers into the coarse fur and bury his face in the wolf's neck the way Remus did with Padfoot.

The wolf flopped down on his lap, crushing his legs beneath his massive body. Sirius laughed and leaned back against the couch, burying his hand in the wolf's fur as he got comfortable. Moony fell asleep there, his breath coming in heavy huffs. After a while, Sirius fell asleep too, mindless of the spasm his neck would surely be tomorrow and fully aware of the way he was falling more in love with Remus every day.
