[mourningliliesmorningglories]

“Passed Alger Brook Road, I'm over the bridge.”

Remus never thought he’d be sitting on this train once more. In this moment, he’s 14 again. The hills roll by and if he closes his eyes, imagines just hard enough, he can still hear the clamouring and giggling that used to belong here. The train is empty, save for Remus, a special trip just for him. In the worst way, this is all too familiar. Like the trunk remembers the axe, Remus can’t help but feel he is gently travelling towards a terrible thing.

“A minute from home but I feel so far from it.”

Remus had lived in London for so long that the Welsh had been bleached out of his accent. Hope and Lyall were long gone, finally resting. And Remus was alone. Home had always been where his heart had lived. Never Wales though, never a place, always a person. Cariad. Cariad. Cariad. With every beat of his heart, Remus knows where home is. He thinks of James and Lily and Harry. He thinks of a home that once belonged to them.

“The death of my dog, the stretch of my skin.”

He thinks of a home that belongs to him, of a basement with a torn up mattress and a master bedroom with a leather jacket hanging on the back of the chair. Remus could never understand how people could one day lock a door and never open it again. Until he did. Slowly, the cottage grew to be too much, bore a weight so goddamn heavy that Remus shouldered it all. That house held the three people he loved, “love” his mind corrects him. He wonders whether in 11 years of solitude, that house too, would be reluctant to see him again.

“It's all washin' over me, I'm angry again.”

In a way, only Remus could understand why James and Lily had to die. Unfortunately, there is always a greater good. There is always someone, ‘something’ his mind hisses, greater than him. The rage is dormant now. The war is over. Remus knows loss incredibly well, walks hand in hand with her most days. Instinctively, he tightens his grip on his thigh. It serves as a reminder. You survived the war. You lost everyone you love. You are real. You are neither punished nor the punisher. Not anymore.

“The things that I lost here, the people I knew.”

Remus takes a walk along the length of the train. Nostalgia’s sake and all that. The open compartment doors rattle gently and the seats are vacant. For some reason, Remus half expected to run into a brick wall at King’s Cross. He doesn’t know how to exist in this space again, how to walk the halls of the castle without feeling like a ghost instead. Mostly, Remus doesn’t know how he could look into James’ faces and Lily’s eyes again, and see them on someone else.

“They got me surrounded for a mile or two.”

Logically, he knows “No.” is as good an answer as any. He made sure that there were no more favours, no more secrets. Remus knows that from 11, the castle cared for him. He also knows that care and respect go hand in hand. He has no debt to the castle but he does have duty to fulfil. For every man who obeys his duty, there is another who cannot. A prison cell briefly flashes in his mind, then a cupboard under stairs, then a set of silver handcuffs.

“The car's in reverse, I'm grippin' the wheel.”

The train shudders and stops. The sky is dark. Remus’ eyes are closed. He inhales deeply and lets muscle memory take over. His steps now echo down the empty train carriages. He is just as tall as the last time he stood here. This time, he leaves behind four giggling boys. He leaves behind the weight of a head in his lap. The image is superimposed into his eyelids. Remus hopes that everything that ever existed still exists in moments, even though we don’t get them back. The doors slide open and he steps onto the platform.

“I'm back between villages and everything's still.”

For the second time in his life, Remus John Lupin has the sudden and crashing realisation that he is totally and utterly alone.

Cover art by the talented, beautiful creature @evyltalks for my newest wip. My friend got me a commission with Evyl as a Christmas gift and I knew instantly I wanted to see her take on the Black brothers from my fic. I literally cried when I first saw this piece. Evyl, you absolutely blew me away with this, my heart is SO full, THANK YOU!! 🫶🏼💖🖤

This story has been running around in my head since this summer and I’m so ready to share it. I’ll be posting one chapter at a time with 10 chapters total.

The Black brothers are so fucking special to me and this fic is me pouring a bit of my soul & relationship with my older sis into it (she’s my best friend) and the Sirius to my Regulus.

Chapter 1 coming 12/23 ✨

A Jegulus reunion: how Regulus Black ended up having positively filthy reunion s*x to the tune of Third Eye Blind

(Fic)

James finally shakes himself from delusion, and is the first to step toward Regulus. He doesn’t say hello, or ask what he is doing here. He doesn’t ask if he’s back for good, or when he arrived. James wraps his arms around Regulus’ lower back and hauls him off his feet, using one arm to wrap under his leg, forcing him to open his thighs and lock his legs around James’ back.

Once Regulus is secure in his grip, James walks him into the kitchen and away from prying eyes. He pauses there, letting Regulus support himself on the counter and kisses him. It’s quite frantic - how their hands grab for every inch of skin on the other. It doesn’t take long before their noises pull snide comments from the living room.

“Yeah, it’s not like any of us haven’t seen Reggie in months either. Not like he’s my brother. Go ahead, have him all to yourself, you selfish prick!”

James laughs against Regulus' mouth and picks him back up. He takes him down the hall, and sets him down just inside the door to his room. Before closing the door, he flips Sirius a middle finger for the comment and slams the door closed, locking it for good measure.

They spend a solid hour in bed. Or rather, on the bed. Because neither of them had the patience to get under the covers before ripping each other’s clothes clean off. James did have the good sense to pause long enough to throw in the first CD he could find and turn the knob up to maximum volume so they could be loud without more reprimand. And that is how Regulus Black ended up having positively filthy reunion s*x to the awful tune of Third Eye Blind.

“I think you’re stupid-” she tasted like fags and vaseline. Her scent was sweet, and her hands were barely there as she ghosted the dark skin of Mary’s neck.

No thoughts were in her mind as they were burnt down from the hearth in the middle of her mind. Lily, right there, looking as radiant as ever, seemingly like the sun that helped everything grow in the day and was missed by the world at night.

Lips softly over against each other and Mary knew she wasn’t doing a good job, but together they found a rhythm. Mary had never felt so sober in her life.

“I thought you hated me,” Mary gasped.

“I do.”

Fic recs

Other Women and of Purer Blood by @saintsenara

Summary: Narcissa is adrift, rattling around Malfoy Manor, when an equally lonely man comes into her lonely life.

Thoughts: I have been wanting a story that contextualises the sexual charge and familiarity we see between Snape and Narcissa in Spinner's End for ages (canon compliant, that is) and this story is a lovely backstory to that. It also captures Snape in transition: Snape still ironing out his northern accent, how his movements are still spider-like. He is in the process of becoming the adult Snape we see in canon: whose speeches are a performance, and how he irons out the awkwardness of his movements in adulthood.

Excerpt:

Snape looks completely wrong in the flowery bower where Dobby has set out tea. His sallow awkwardness seems to repel the summer, even though Narcissa suspects he must be baking in his layers of shabby black robes. 

He doesn’t have the fine manners of the sort of person who normally comes to tea with the Malfoys. He eats quickly, and slurps his tea, and looks at the cakes with the greedy eyes of a boy who isn’t used to treats. Lucius would be disgusted, to have a greasy half-blood at his table spraying crumbs everywhere. She imagines the expression of horrified confusion on his pointy face and giggles.

Snape immediately goes scarlet and puts down his tea-cup.

In Infinite Remorse of Soul by @perverse-idyll

Summary: Albus Dumbledore never makes the same mistake twice. Certainly not in love.

Thoughts: My very first Snumbledore, which is a frightening meditation on the very vast power dynamics between Snape and Dumbledore from the hilltop scene in Deathly Hallows and expanding the very personal reaction Dumbledore had towards the wayward young Death Eater. Perverse Idyll is among the best writers in the fandom, brimming with words and fantastic imagery that just stays with you.

Excerpt:

"My boy," Albus says almost kindly, because kindness is something that mystifies his young servant. Severus' eyes dart upwards, apprehensive, accusing, and Albus can see the darkness inside the boy clawing to reach him. Guilt calling to guilt.

The moment quivers and thins until he judges that Severus has had enough and is about to rebel. A harsh rasp draws his attention. He looks down at the bruised, blackened fingernail scraping across stone.

"My boy," he sighs. "You never fail to disgust me."

The ritual word strikes Severus down. His obstinate body shrinks, wings of hair flapping forward to shut his scowling face from view.

To Build A Home by @mblematic

Summary: 1978-1981: Sirius stumbles on something in the woods, Sirius and Remus stumble into each other, everyone stumbles into the war.

Thoughts: First War hijinks, dysfunctional Wolfstar - I was fed! I cannot rave enough about the gorgeous, subtle writing of relationships (the author really captures this raw, visceral vulnerability between two friends who are attracted to each other and how it explodes in heightened tension of war) and there is some fantastic world building and mirroring. Excerpt: Later, Sirius would remember almost everything from this night with crystal clarity except the sky, which in reality was clouded but in his memory would be open, star-studded, expansive and unknowable as the future. He’d remember, correctly, that the wolf was different than it had been at Hogwarts. He’d remember the restless, brutal, snarling fury, all of it undercut with a fear so intense it had its own meaty weight. The night took Sirius by surprise and he spent the whole long stretch of it trying to put himself back on track, trying to reacquaint himself with the wolf, and trying to convince them both that they remembered each other. At one point he found himself literally between Remus’ jaws, helpless and pliant, mewling like a supplicant. This, too, he would remember for the rest of his life. 

Second Life by Cassandra, nwhiker Summary: What happens when two men are given a second chance.

Thoughts: I finally got around to reading one of the most recommended Snirius fics out there. Beautiful, understated, deeply emotional - the authors take you on a journey with the two of them post war. It also feels....old?? As in, the kind of perspective this fic has is the perspective of someone in late 30s (which both Snape and Sirius are in this fic, post war). There is a fragile, "who else will understand what our generation went through?" running through the vein of this fic.

Excerpt:

It was like walking into a tiny garden in the tropics, and he was reminded of some of the places he'd visited while on the run after his escape from Azkaban. There were hundreds of plants, most of them unfamiliar, and a large table was filled with orchids. There was a tree, which turned out to be a frangipani, its white flowers soft and sweet. A delicate white flower with an exquisite fragrance that Snape said was bouvardia. Along one wall were plants Sirius recognised from Potions classes, wolfsbane and asphodel, wormwood and sopohorous, a shrivelfig tree, and others he'd seen but didn't know the names of.

"I'm not supposed to have them," Snape said.

Sirius turned to him. Snape was staring down an orchid, brushing planting mix from the edge of its pot.

Al Aaraaf by eldritcher

Summary: There is a place between heaven and hell.

Thoughts: An unsettling, poetic horror fic featuring a grieving Walburga Black. The whole fic is structured like a poem, with rhythm and repetition and metaphor shining through.

Excerpt:

He had her face. He had her scowl. He had her loathsome, loathing heart that mourned and loved. Hell dwelled in him, as a warm and heartful thing calved of mother.

The last of earth's make she held was son. His hands were placed in prayerful clasp over her belly.

The lamb in her was of Tartary, born of son fed and killed with milk and honey, birthed of widow's mourning.

"It is all right," Sirius said, and held her to him as if she weren't damned.

Runaway Boys by Delphi

Summary: Severus dreams of pirates, and Lily closes the nursery window. Thoughts: I'm not sure if I have recommended this fic before, but I am recommending it again, just in case. This is a wonderfully strange coming of age, a tale of puberty told in dreams/ fantasies featuring Snape and Captain Hook. Excerpt:

"Severus S—" He cuts himself off and then tentatively amends: "Prince. Severus Prince."

It's a better name, he's decided. His new friends at school know the Princes, but they've never heard of any Snapes.

"That is a fine name, Mr. Prince," the man says. "As for me, I am Captain James Hook."

A large hand extends into the branches, and after a moment, Severus carefully leans down and shakes it.

"Pleased to meet you," Severus says.

"Are those friends of yours?" the captain asks, nodding towards the neighbouring island, where the boys are now riding wild ponies bareback, jousting with each other using lances made of hollow reeds.

Severus shrugs. Of course, he thinks, the man would rather know them.

Note: Please check the pairings and tags in each of these fics and keep in mind your own triggers :)

the golden king by maladaptivewriting

word count: 319,416

finished?: No

main pairings: James/Regulus, Remus/Sirius, Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

warnings: graphic depictions of violence

summary:

When Regulus Black woke up in 1991 after he was supposed to die twelve years prior, he realized two things. One, the locket he had worked so hard to steal had never been destroyed so the Dark Lord was still alive. And two, Harry Potter, James Potter's son, was in danger.

OR

Regulus goes to school with the Golden Trio.

my personal thoughts below

oh my godddddddd i love this fic with my whole heart and soul. you get regulus, sirius, and remus raising harry. you get so much angst. there is so much content. it is one giant slow burn between every pairing. its so fun to read. the author is so great at doing what they do. it goes through the events of the books, but certain things are changed because of regulus, and they are done so well. im just dying for the next update i wont even lie.

A Turning Point

Chapter 5

He looked around the table, meeting Sirius’ earnest eyes, apprehension was written all over Peter, and with an approving nod from Remus. James ran head first, “lads, you cannot repeat this to anyone.” And that was the Marauder’s oath, they all knew it, whenever someone uttered those words they would take the secret to the grave.

“We were with Dumbledore yesterday.”

There was a heavy silence for a moment, Remus broke the tension, eyebrows high on his forehead. “Kinky.”

James chuckled, relief flooding him, “thanks for that Moony.”

Silence again, and then Sirius took the serious route, “so… you met with Dumbledore yesterday?”

My Favorite Fanfictions I’ve Been Reading Lately.

please be cognizant of the Trigger Warnings the authors give in each of these stories 

All The Young Dudes by MsKingBean89 (completed)

You know her and you love her. I actually started this fic in early 2021 and absolutely devoured the first 150 chapters. I stopped because I was really busy and then I didn’t come back to it because I just didn’t want it to end. I finally managed to finish her though!  It’s just absolutely amazing. It follows Remus through the 7 years at Hogwarts and beyond into the war. ATYD is pretty canon compliant except in parts of Remus background, as in the fic he was given to an orphanage at a young age. This story is just  heartwarming but absolutely tragic (honestly mostly tragic). Please, please read it if you are late to the party like me. It is a big commitment at 188 chapters but honestly it flies by because of how good it is.

just lovers (like we are supposed to be) by zzepazariel (completed)

You’ve probably heard of this one by now because of zzepazariel’s Crimson River fame (which I have also not read yet). I really enjoyed this fanfic. It’s a James/Regulus fake dating to real dating story that I really loved. It had a decent amount of angst but lots of fluff to help heal the hurt. This story made me love James even more than I already did, he is just all around very lovely in this. 

Declared False Start by @wanderingdonut (completed)

A modern and muggle world au that is Regulus Black centric with a background wolfstar. Regulus is a swimmer in high school who is dealing with a hard family life and the immense pressures of being an athlete. Usually I’m not super into sports related things, but I found this fic to be really compelling. It includes Regulus and Sirius reconnecting after many years of being estranged and having to rebuild their relationship. I really enjoyed the portrayal of Reg dealing with the mental health issues he was struggling with, sports trauma, and his parents no-so-great parenting. The mental health issues that Regulus struggles with in this story are very relatable to me which made me love this fic even more. I also hadn’t really read anything with Regulus as a central character until this fic so it was a really good introduction.

retreating from my private twitter reading account to say that the marauders is a huge fucking fandom now tell me why i cant find any filo socmed aus

#like where are all the filipinos #where is everyone. i cant be the only one #imagine filipino jily and wolfstar #imagine the humor #you cant do this to me #marauders #jily #wolfstar #IM BEGGINGGGG #while we're here does anyone know any jily fics where lily realizes her feelings for James too late. like he gets sick of being rejected at #every turn and just. stops #the angst people the angst #still need it to be jily centric tho #ok thats it mwah #lily evans #james potter #remus lupin #sirius black

[jenning-fcb]

Does anyone have any fanfic recommendation where Regulus also runs away from the Blacks' house, but he doesn't go to the Potters like Sirius?? Like, where he goes to live with Minerva or someone else. I just think it would be interesting Sirius thinking he's still with his parents, but he secretly isn't anymore. Please if anyone has any recommendations 😭

The fic doesn't need to have couples, (I love stories focused on platonic relationships, be it friendship or family) but if have wolfstar, jegulus, marylily etc, I don't mind. I just don't like straight couples that much lol, I don't read with OCs either

[aghastlymoony]

another fanfic related thing, but i’m not gonna reveal the plot just yet bc i don’t have it all figured out, which is what this post is for!! there’s probably gonna be a couple of these bc i can’t decide on some things. so like, ignoring the fact that the marauders storyline is canonically taking place in the 1970s, what decade could you guys see the marauders era characters being in? by the way, when i say what decade they belong to, i mean like, if james was born in the 40s and was a 17/18 year old in the 50s, that sort of thing. a timeline swap, if you will, but same age, just different year.

starting with james

You know what my roman empire is?

Is that back when Zar had an account here him and Jude said they got this idea of a little women au and I see the vision and I know they would make an amazing work.

So now everytime I see something about little women I'm reminded of this and I just hope that someday they decide to give it a go

#sirius black #remus lupin #james potter #regulus black #and i think that jt was jegulus centric but i hope there is plenty wolfstar #marauders era #Zar #jude #amazing writers #unless is already out and im an idiit that hasn't put enough attention
