With a sweat-glazed forehead, you blinked up at the guard towering above your melted form in the tufted chair, his girth still snug inside of you as you clambered around him, a tender kiss to your flush cheek from one of the others at your side aided in speeding up your recovery from your second of many highs on your usual nightly visit from the castle’s uppermost security. 
Though as you laid there, panting to regain your breath, your right hand fluttered out to locate guard’s at your side, a solemn look washing over your blissed-out features. 
“What,” Remus placed a soft peck over your knuckles as he weaved his fingers with your own, “what is it, darling?”
Fuzzily tilting your head around to catch each of their eyes, you asked, “what if someone finds out?”
Tilting his head, James reached out and caressed your left cheek, “your highness, I promise you with every bone in my body that they won’t,” the soft swipe of his broad thumb across your cheekbone assisted in your digestion of his unwavering promise. 
“We are the security in this palace,” Sirius gazed down at you with a gentle tilt to his head, “you’re safe with us.”
“But what about when I no longer live here?” you felt your bottom lip begin to quiver, “I’m a princess, I can’t keep stalling marriage forever…”
“Then we will come with you,” Remus found your weary gaze, enclosing his other hand around yours as well, “or if it comes down to it and you wanna get away, leave this life behind forever, then we may or may not have already made a plan or two,” he added with a hopeful smile. 
“Nothing is gonna happen…” eyes still firm on you, Sirius turned his head to peck your leg still resting on his sturdy shoulders, the usual playful glint swiftly returning to his eye, “except of course this,” you let out a gasp as he suddenly rolled his hips, gently kickstarting his movements once more, “that’s gonna happen as much as you will let us,” he smirked, leaning down to capture your lips in a kiss. 
“Heavens,” a breathy moan rolled off your tongue as you soon watched James’ fingers reach down to rub lavish circles over your clit, “what have I gotten myself into with you guys….”
“Love,” Remus pointed out with an adoring smile, “that’s what,” one that you couldn’t help but mirror because of how accurate his doting statement was.

“Princess.” James wraps a hand around your elbow as you try to go out into the garden, his grip gentle but firm. “Just wait a minute, Remus needs to do a sweep before we can go out.” 
“But it’s leaving!” you cry, gaze fixed on the orange cat slinking into the bushes with something akin to longing. “He’s gonna scare it off!”
Sirius chuckles. “Remus is great with cats, angel. Knowing him, he’ll have the thing sleeping at the foot of his bed by tonight.”
“But where’ll you sleep?” James asks innocently, snickering when Sirius shoves at his shoulder. 
“It’s so cute,” you croon, eyes so heart-shaped James tenses in case you try to bolt for it. “Do you think my mom’ll let me keep it?”
“Think King’s allergic, so no,” Sirius says, squeezing your shoulder in apology. 
“What if we keep it a secret?”
James smiles at you, ready to indulge you in your hopeless fantasy, but then Remus comes back. 
“All clear,” he says seriously, and James nods at him as you rush through the door. 
It never fails to surprise him how quick you are when you want to be, and he and the others have to break into a jog to keep you within a reasonable distance as you dash for the cat, stopping a few feet away so as not to spook it. 
“Don’t do that,” Sirius says breathlessly, but it’s pointless. You’re beyond listening, all your focus on the orange tabby in front of you. 
It hisses as you get closer, and you coo, making little kissy sounds. James tries not to laugh at your obvious desperation, staying back so you can’t blame him when the cat inevitably runs off. 
“Be careful,” Remus warns. “We don’t know if it’s friendly, don’t grab it or anything.” 
“Oh, of course he’s friendly,” you murmur liltingly, advancing toward the cat slowly and low to the ground. “He’s just scared, the poor baby.” Your voice is light and sweet as meringue, and James’ heart turns to mush in his chest at hearing it. You start to extend your hand cautiously, and the tabby tenses, eyeing you warily. “It’s okay, honey, I’m not going to—” you gasp as the cat lashes out with its claws, drawing your arm back reflexively as it dashes into the bushes and out of sight.
Remus had to have been anticipating it, because he’s at your side before James can move, crouching beside you and taking your arm in his hand. He shushes you softly as you call out after the cat, and James exchanges a look with Sirius, waiting for the dark-haired boy to nod in confirmation that he’ll keep watch before James joins Remus beside you. 
“I didn’t even get to pet it,” you say morosely. James frowns at you, patting your shoulder consolingly. 
“He didn’t deserve you, angel,” he says, and Remus tsks as he turns your arm over in his grip, four shallow but long scratches oozing blood down your wrist. 
“Let’s go inside and get you fixed up,” Remus says gently, and he and James help you up, guiding you back towards the palace as you cast forlorn looks behind you. 
“This isn’t a great look for us,” Sirius teases you. “The three of us walking back into the palace with a bleeding princess.” 
You give a little laugh, your usual levity restored instantly by his joking. “It’s not like it’s a grave injury,” you reply, rolling your eyes good-naturedly. “I don’t know why these two are acting like I can’t walk by myself.” 
James chuckles but keeps his hand on your back. “Like Sirius says, it’s not a great look for us. May as well appear to be taking it seriously.” 
“Some guards we are,” Remus agrees lightly. “Can’t even protect you from a feral cat.” 
“He wasn’t feral!” you say defensively. “He was just scared. He’s misunderstood.” 
“Whatever you say, gorgeous.” Sirius shrugs, opening the door for all of you. “All I know is, you’re never getting near an animal again that’s not pre-vetted by one of us. Too risky.”

Summary: Prince Remus never wanted to get married. He loved his single life, being in love with his best friends and not being king. But then his father sets him up. Remus never wanted to fall in love for the forth time. Neither did his guards. Neither did his wife to be. But none of them could help it
POLY!MARAUDERS X FEMALE!READER
ROYAL!AU
Tumblr media
The Lupin bloodline had always been kept noble. Kings marrying queens or the daughters of barons and noblemen. Lupins had been sitting on the throne for hundreds of years now, ruling with an iron fist.
That was until Remus’ father. Lyall Lupin had always loved riding off into the forest and shooting arrows at targets he had painted on trees (it was a passion he later shared with his son). One day when he was riding through the woods, chest heaving and sweat on his brow, he came across a girl from the village.
Hope. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. And she was in danger. 
The forest was full of all types of creatures, but they were usually found further in, where the forest got dark. They needed places to hide away and Hope had just passed that threshold. 
The creature was pulling at her skirts, long, claw-like nails tearing at the fabric. Hope was pressed against a tree, tears springing from her eyes. As soon as he saw it Lyall jumped from his horse and thrust his sword towards the creature, slaying it where it was. He offered her kind words and a kind smile as she shook like a leaf.
His original plan was to take her back to the village, but, when Hope started talking, Lyall realised she had no idea who he was. He didn’t take her back to the village just yet; they spent the afternoon together instead. 
At the end of the day, when Lyall was back in the castle and Hope was back in her tiny house in the village, Lyall knew he was in love. 
There was a lot of fight between Lyall and his father when he found out about Hope. They’d managed to sneak around for a little while, but when Lyalls father found out about them, all hell broke loose. No matter what the king did to try and stop them from seeing each other. It took him almost banishing Hope from the  kingdom before he realised how ridiculous it was. 
They were married a month after that. 
A year and a half after that they had a little boy of their own. Remus. He was their pride and joy for at least the first seven years of his life. He was given his first pony at four years old, his father often taking him out to the woods where his parent’s first met. 
When Remus was seven he went into the woods alone. Once his father had become king he had laws against going too far into the woods, about disturbing the creatures that lived there. Of course, young Remus couldn’t understand this. And he wanted to know what was in those woods. 
All of those creatures were magic. When his mother found out what happened, she wasn’t surprised. She was horrified, yes, but not surprised. Her little boy, future king, her only heir, a werewolf. If anybody found out he’d be run out of town, or worse. 
There was limited staff in the castle who knew. Just the men who’d helped put together a space to contain him. A cellar that was once for wine, emptied out, the wooden door replaced by one made of steel. As long as Remus had somewhere to go at night, so he wasn’t out attacking the towns people, it was a problem solved. 
Other than his furry little problem Remus’ upbringing was rather normal for a prince. He attended lessons and social events, watching his father give speeches and giving a few of his own as he got older. Getting older also came with his own band of guards. Well, squires until they were deemed capable enough to defend the royal family with their life. 
With Remus’ help, the three squires became knights in no time. Well, it was Sir James and Sir Sirius first, Peter was just a late bloomer. Sirius became Remus’ personal guard; James and Peter just happened to always be around. If anybody tried to scold them for being with the prince instead of actually doing their job, all Remus had to do was show his face and they’d shut up instantly. 
Of course, these boys had no idea about Remus’ furry little problem. It was always on the night of the full moon that Sirius had to himself, another guard that knew about Remus watching the metal door. 
Yes, the boys were smart, but they couldn’t figure this one out, not at first. Well, it wasn’t really something they thought about. It was a night Sirius had off and they all took it to rest (since most nights were staying up in front of the fire cracking jokes or planning pranks on the other members of staff. Since he was the future king, Remus couldn’t join in with the pranks, but he could help plan them. Nobody knew he was the real master of the operation.)
When Remus was eighteen years old, soon to be nineteen, his parents called him to the throne room. He was exhausted, bags under his eyes and a fresh scar down his arm. Most scars were covered up of course, except for the unfortunate few on his face. 
“Remus,” his father started, grimacing at the scars on his sons face. Remus couldn’t stop himself from shrinking away. Yes, his father would never want to make him feel self conscious, but he couldn’t stop the way those scars made him feel. 
“Your mother and I have been talking.”
“And we have decided it’s time we step down, moved out of this castle and into Huxton Manor,” his mother finished. Don’t let the name fool you, Huxton Manor was a castle. It was only slightly smaller than the one they were in now, one the family used to holiday in whe Remus was a boy, before his furry little problem began. 
Remus’ face paled further. “What are you trying to tell me?” He asked and took a careful step back. 
“We think it’s time you marry.”
In truth Remus already had two loves of his life. Of course, although James and Sirius felt the same, they didn’t know how Remus felt. They’d confided in each other on one drunken night, might’ve even kissed each other, but nobody could remember. 
And now Remus’ parents wanted to bring in someone from the outside. 
Panic shot through him. 
“Remus, we’re sorry,” his mother said and stepped down from the dais. “But with your… condition we can’t have you rule alone.”
“But I’m not alone!” Remus protested. “I have James and Sirius!”
Lyall shook his head. “You need an heir and to get that heir you need a wife.” He looked down at his son in a way he never had before, with stern eyes. "I have an old friend, a king from a neighbouring kingdom and he claims his daughter is wayward. He wants to settle her down before she tarnishes their family name or gets herself killed. I mentioned that your mother and I were looking into naming you king and the pieces fell into place."
"Father, you can't be-" Remus heard a snickering from somewhere behind him, one that stopped him from finishing his sentence. 
"She will arrive by morning."
Sirius’ snickering stopped. That was when Remus realised just everything James and Sirius had heard. Already in pain from what he had heard, he couldn’t imagine how they must’ve been feeling. 
***
There was so much Y/N wanted to do before she died or was married off. Either way, it was the same thing in her eyes. When she broke into the underground family vault just to see if she could, that was the last straw. 
A week later she was in a carriage going too fast for her to jump out, with a guard either side of her, and two guards either side. 
“How about we stop for a drink in the next tavern,” She offered, her feet up on the cushioned seat opposite her. One of the guards glared at her and pushed her feet from the seat. Y/N took that as a no and rolled her eyes. 
Every five minutes she asked to stop for a drink or something to eat. Every time the guards said nothing and Y/N would turn back to the window. But this was her way of coping; cracking jokes and irritating those around her. 
In no time at all she made it to the castle the Lupin family presided in. It was twice the size of Y/N’s own with walls and turrets and archers and guards, the likes of which Y/N had never seen. In a place like this she’d never get kidnapped. What a nice break this would be. 
And then she remembered why she was here. Oh yeah, the wedding. A guard touched her back to push her forward, and Y/N went limp, falling back into the guard. He grunted as he caught her and stood her upright. “Nice try,” he muttered and got her walking towards the steps of the castle. 
Of course, there was nobody to greet her as she got to the huge doors. Her carriage driver snapped the reins and moved the carriage around to the coach house. She shivered as only one of the doors swung open in front of her. Stepping through those doors, her fate would be sealed. Her guards held out their arms, reading her body language. 
They, along with serving boys belonging to her new family, led her through the long hallways, past the terrifying pictures of the kings and queens of the past. They led her all the way through the castle until she was standing awkwardly in front of the king and queen.
Y/N rocked on her heels, until her lady pinched her side, stilling her. She sent Lily, her lady, an apologetic look and looked at the King and Queen. It was the night of a full moon, coincidentally, and, at that moment, Remus was being chained up by the best friends he was completely in love with. But Y/N didn’t need to know any of that. 
She curtseyed, the way she was taught to, while rolling her eyes. But it was discreet and almost everybody but Lily missed it. “We’re very sorry our son can’t be here to greet you himself,” said the Queen as Y/N straightened up.
Y/N didn’t quite know how to respond. The fact that she was here to marry Prince Remus was one of the last things she was to know about before she took the journey up here. And now he wasn’t even here to say a brief hello. She couldn’t say anything though, knowing exactly how he must’ve been feeling.
“We know it’s late,” the king began. “And we will let you get to your room. We know our son is eager to meet you so, rest up, and we shall see you in the morning.”
Even this, the way the king spoke, was rather informal, something Y/N wasn’t used to. Well, she was, but not from a member of the royal family. From her old bar buddies. 
She then remembered the speech her father had prepared for her. “Your majesties,” she said, nodding at the both of them. “My father and I are very grateful for your hospitality. My short journey through your country has already been so wonderful and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of it. My father is hoping to be here in three months time and we are all excited to be a part of this family.”
At that, Lyall smiled. He could recognise something that Y/N had not written. The fathers had written to each other almost every day, talking about parenting. Of course, Lyall had missed out on all the important things. 
“Please, make  yourself at home.”
They had servants bring her things up. Y/N laid in bed, in her sheer chemise, listening to the sounds of the castle. Howls and growls and grunts. For the first time in her life, Y/N was terrified. She was in unfamiliar lands with unfamiliar people and creatures. 
And she had yet to meet her fiancé to be.

The group discovering that in fact Sirius is not just a random noble who hated his family but a true siren and things becoming a mess of confusion and worries until James calm everything down.
After explanation they decide that Sirius is still Sirius and nothing change and decide to accept Regulus on the boat too.
And bam Black brothers bonding, the Skittles becoming friends and Jegulily happening because it's my favorite ship and I love adding them 😌.

my pirate / royal marauder au :
regulus and sirius are princes, james and remus are pirates.
(along with placements of other marauder era characters who don’t contribute to this post)
so they (james remus and other) are all looting their mansion/castle and James is getting close to Regulus’s room, granted he is being chased that way by guards (aurors?)
and regulus yanks him into his room, “listen to me and you listen fine you ill mannered barbarian. you better zip it and keep it shut because i swear on merlin’s green earth if you get caught around my room and get me even more limitations you will with you never stepped foot in Gimmauld.”
and just like that James (possible masochist) Potter has love in his heart.

Marauders/Royal court as quotes from my DND group (part 8)(but really just dnd)
Remus:“I am compelled- not by the moon but by my personal vengeances” Evan:"Put your faith in me- your messiah" Dorcas:"Well that is terrifying"! Pandora:"That would have required a gaslight check- telling the truth is free" James:“He challenged us to a wizard's duel” Peter:“You do know that's illegal-”? Sirius:“Oh don't worry we did NOT follow the rules” Remus gay over Sirius:“This man is dressed like a slut- chest bare, sluttiest man ever” Regulus:"I'm a protector of sorts" Dorcas:"You don't look the type-" Regulus:"That's exactly how I do it- catch people off guard, I'm an enigma" Barty:“You see me as a useless writhing pathetic little worm, and I find that hot” Remus:"Do you know what a bed of flowers is"? James:"I assume that's where flowers sleep" Marlene:“You’ve made your bed- now fuck in it” Dorcas:"You claimed your purse was stolen- that was a lie" Marlene:"Your right it was more of a man bag" Remus:“This is the only time I have relaxed in seven years” Regulus:“We didn't see each others dicks so it wasn't weird” Barty:“Why even go then”? Pandora:“You are very lovely when you aren't killing people~”! Lily:"It seemed like you were running away from something" James:"I'm training for a.. marathon"? Remus:"..Was it an altercation"?  Sirius:"Can you use a smaller word please."
James:“You say 'How do we trust a mass murderer'- but i've known many mass murders but they were very nice people”
(Bonus timeskip and relating to my fic, pinned post)
Sirius:"I feel like escaping jail will only make things more complicated" Barty:"I trust your judgment rich boy"

current wolfstar/jegulus/moonwater/prongsfoot ideas i have:
vampire reg and addict james - basically vampires are rare and are paid by humans to bite them and give them their venom and it makes them high and james gets addicted
werewolf remus and mechanic sirius - remus travels around in his truck and stays in motels until he does something bad enough in his wolf form to leave and he meets sirius who is also a runaway and they start dating before sirius ends up bumping into werewolf hunters and has to protect remus
mermaid regulus and surfer james - james lives in cornwall in his parents house after they pass away and he's taking time for himself to get back into his childhood hobby or surfing and he helps regulus who is injured and on the beach
knight remus and prince sirius/prince regulus and peasant james - the black family are royal dragon riders and remus is part of the kings guard whilst james is his friend that works in a tavern, chaos and seduction ensues (yes theres a vow of celibacy that might not last)
barista remus and college student regulus - this one is v simple but they meet and it's just very cute and fluffy because they're both book nerds
radio host james and college student sirius - this one is a lil more spicy, james hosts his own radio show and he and sirius aren't out as a couple just yet and they hook up in his studio whilst the mic is still on by accident and it gets around campus

kaeya's character draws inspiration from several fictional figures: most prominently hagen/hogni, the baby from midsummer night's dream, and possibly kai from the snow queen.
today, i want to talk about the play midsummer night's dream by shakespeare. tl;dr: prince kaeya theory isn't dead, it's his mother who was royalty
the story includes the plot of oberon, the fairy king, and his wife the fairy queen titania fighting over an unnamed INDIAN baby. there's other Shenanigans going on but we don't care about them. oberon is thought to be a variant spelling derived from alberich. remember alberich means elf king.
In the legendary history of the Merovingian dynasty Oberon is a magician, the brother of Merowech (Mérovée). In the medieval German epic the Nibelungenlied he is the dwarf who guards the underground treasure of the Nibelungen and is overcome by Siegfried and forced to yield the “cloak of darkness” (the Tarn-kappe).
this seems to check out as the merovingian dynasty includes figures such as clothar and caribert. so assume oberon = alberich = kaeya's ancestor or father.
now, this baby was the child of titania's human attendent and an indian king. the woman died leaving titania to take care of the child for her sake. in other words, this baby was an INDIAN PRINCE raised by a bunch of fairies: a changeling.
i think the baby being indian could be why they decided to make kaeya into a brown king. (wow i can't believe shakespeare is the reason why kaeya has melanin everyone say thank you shakespeare.)
LOTS of questions does this raise; but since this game likes to switch things around (remus founded remuria instead of romulus for example) it's really hard to predict what direction they decided to go in. we know at least the alberichs aren't of royal blood, so it could've been his mother who was a queen. because notice that the prince kaeya baiting has NOT stopped even after they told us the alberichs weren't royalty. just look at his hangout where he literally plays a prince and the fischl and kaeya cake.
Tumblr media
why would they drop hints about kaeya being a prince from his voicelines to OTHER people's voicelines to his constellation to his splashart to the play to the inspiration behind his character only to backtrack on it? even hagen, kaeya's other equivalent, was the son of a queen.
the question remains then, what exactly was his mother the queen of?

Narcissa: *Squeals* Panda! Can you believe it!? She kissed me!
Pandora: Cissa, calm down
Narcissa: I can't. It's just too exciting!
Pandora: Ok, ok. Can you at least stop screaming? Aunt and Uncle are going to hear you
Narcissa: The only one that comes in here is Ophelia. Plus, no one even knows you help Ophelia
Pandora: That doesn't mean anything. Someone could still come in here
Narcissa: Ok, I'm sorry. But still, she kissed me. A stuck-up princess
Pandora: Our cousins and siblings are all stuck-up. That's nothing new
Narcissa: Still
Pandora: I need to get back to work
Narcissa: Fine, kick me out, then

LETTERS
regulus black as the prince
james potter as the personal guard
prompt : letters, 27 june
royal au, 423 words, letters @jegulus-microfic
as the royal prince’s personal guard, it was james’ duty to protect him at all costs. that included following his royal highness, prince regulus of the black house, as he went through his daily tasks. walking through the courtyard of the grand castle, going to events and fairs that happened in village and most of the time, just sitting in the gardens or regulus’s room.
the young prince wasn’t very tall, nor was he built. he did however have beautiful dark curls that sat atop his head, contrasting with his fair skin. his eyes were like grey clouds on a rainy day. regulus had many unnoticed freckles that only james knew of because of the many times he’d watch the prince smile while walking in the garden or greeting villagers while the sun was up and shining.
sir james on the other hand, was at least a whole head taller than the prince and was pretty well built. he had jet black hair that fit perfectly with his tan skin. his bright hazel eyes had woody green flecks in them when the sun shined in his face that was only noticed by regulus when they went out in the gardens for walks.
this made both regulus and james seem very attractive to the common folk (and unknowingly to each other). because of that, they would both get confessions and love letters.
once on a walk around the nearby village, a pair of girls were following them. after a while, james had had enough of the giggling girls and regulus was also getting annoyed, so sir james turned around and confronted the girls. both the giggling girls passed a letter, each to the prince and his guard.
it’s been about 3 years since this whole thing started. they made it a tradition or personal routine to open and read all the letters and notes the both of them had received at the end of the week. james would have to endure the hundreds of confessions that regulus would receive and vice versa.
it took some time for both of them, separately, to realise that the feelings that they felt was just pure jealousy. james would start acting weird after seeing regulus feel impressed by a certain confession and regulus would start acting defensive when james did the same thing.
about 10 years later, both the prince and his guard, now husbands, would answer the same thing when someone asks “how did you realise you loved him?” “letters. all the letters and confessions he received”.
bonus point:
~ wolfstar exist in this universe, sirius is the next in line for the throne, and remus is his servant(?). kind of like merthur.
~ jily happens platonically. lily is one of the baker girls who’s close friends with remus. and becomes james’ friend because he’s always down in the kitchens looking for a snack after a walk in the gardens or getting something for a picnic with reggie.

James' arms around her was everything Y/N had ever wanted and more. They were strong, made her feel safe and secure. "What's your name, soldier?" She asked, looking up at him. Her face was almost in the crook of his neck, he was everything she could smell.
"James, your highness."
"None of that, please," she said, closing her eyes. "I'm just Y/N."
James smiled down at her. "Okay Just Y/N. I'll have to get you back on your horse before we reach the castle," he said.
"Naturally."
If  Y/N was caught like this, snuggling into the arms of her fiancés knight, war could be launched. Her kingdom couldn't handle war right now; all the threats of war and each time she was kidnapped had put too much stress on her parents. It was the whole reason she was getting married off.
Outside of the stable gates James jumped from Prongs. He helped Y/N back onto her horse  and grabbed both of their reins, leading them through the gates. “You are a kind man,” said Y/N, looking down at her hands.
James stopped outside of the stable and bowed to Y/N. It was just an act now, she hoped, but she couldn’t be sure. James was polite and formal as he pointed Y/N back towards the castle, and walked the horses back to their stables without another word.
Picking up her skirts Y/N ran back into the castle. “Sir James has returned!” She heard a knight call as she ducked behind an alcove. Several knights, all in armour that was for more than just daywear, rushed past her, their armour clanking together. As soon as they passed Y/N left the safety of the alcove and walked through the castle, avoiding all staff.
Once Y/N had made it back to her room, she slumped down against the door and let out a breath. “The princess is missing!” She heard a knight cry as they ran past her door. Chuckling to herself Y/N jumped onto her bed and laid back. This was how she kept herself entertained at home, causing chaos for the staff in the castle. Of course, this time she didn’t mean to cause that chaos, but she wasn’t going to put a stop to it.
When somebody cleared their throat, Y/Nsat up with a gasp. She couldn’t see their face, just the side profile of the person sitting by the fire in her bedroom with their chair turned away from her. “Can I help you,” she spat, sitting straighter. 
They stood, and Y/N let out a gasp. Prince Remus stood by her fireplace, leaning against the mantle. A shiver moved down Y/N’s spine. She didn’t get a proper look at him at dinner, too busy looking at his knights, but he was gorgeous. And oh so intimidating. She didn’t know why his face was covered in scars, but in the light of the fire, it made him look dangerous. Y/N couldn’t help the feeling that pooled in the pit of her stomach. 
“Did you have fun on your ride with Sir James?” Asked Remus, his face like stone. When he was king and Y/N his queen she’d have a statue erected of him. It would be a perfect replica, standing tall in the square. Y/N shook her head, banishing those thoughts.
Standing up and smoothing out her skirts, Y/N nodded her head. “Yes, it was very pleasant.”
“Drop the shit,” he barked as he turned around. Y/N jumped back, falling against her bed. “I saw the way you were looking at him and Sirius and I’m not having you ruin this wedding.”
Y/N frowned. “You actually want to get married to me?”
“Well, yes. It would make my mother and father happy.” And that was most important to him. Oh, and if he married Y/N he’d be free to pursue his boys. He sat beside Y/N. “And I need an heir, someone to take care of the kingdom after I’m gone.”
Sighing, Y/N laid back on her bed and linked her fingers together on her stomach. “I know it seems impossible because of our stations, but have you ever wanted to get married for more than political alliances and producing an heir? Have you ever wanted to get married for love?”
“We don’t get love,” Remus replied. 
Y/N took a calculated risk. She was quiet for a second, staring at him. “We could try.”
That was how they ended up chest to chest on Y/Ns bed, her hands tangled in his hair as they kissed. It was hot and heavy, tongues and teeth clashing. His hand was on her cheek, gently pushing her away. “Wow, Princess,” he whispered, his eyes closed and her forehead against hers. 
"What," she said, smiling. Remus didn't know she could do that.
Kissing her forehead, Remus stood up. "This still isn't love," he said and readjusted his shirt. 
Y/N laid down and propped her head up with her hand. “Tomorrow then. Take me out to the gardens, let’s have tea, get to know each other. Maybe bring your knights along.”
It was supposed to be a joke, but with the way Remus’ eyes darkened, Y/N fell silent. She didn’t laugh like she had intended to, not with the way he was looking at her. That feeling returned to her stomach as he walked back over to her, taking long strides.
He suddenly loomed over her, her arms pinned over her head. “Say that again, Princess,” he growled, his breath fanning across her cheek. It was a dare, and Y/N wasn’t going to take the bait. She whimpered as he leaned down and kissed her neck.
“Please, my prince. Please.” 
But Remus let go of her and stood up straight. He cleared his throat and straightened up his clothing. “Dress for walking tomorrow. We’ll be taking a walk through the garden for some tea,” he said and walked out of the room like nothing had happened.
Y/N had to just lay there for a minute. And after that minute, Lily walked back into the room. “I am so sorry Princess! I would never have left you but Prince Remus insisted.”
“It’s okay, Lily. Just help me get ready for bed.”
***
Y/N tossed and turned in her bed that night. When she couldn’t sleep at first, she put it down to the unfamiliar place she was in. But that wasn’t it. 
The Lake was bathed in moonlight. There were three figures on the other side of the lake, all tall in billowy white shirts. Their faces were familiar, but Y/N couldn’t place them. She herself was in a long white dress, her bare feet cold in the grass. 
Although the tall figures said nothing, Y/N was still beckoned towards them. She took a deep breath and started running across the water, leaving ripples in her wake. As she got closer to the other side of the lake the faces became increasingly familiar.
She spotted Sirius first. He reached his hand towards her as she got closer and pulled her into him. He kissed her briefly before passing her to the next person. 
James was next. He held her tightly in his strong arms and kissed her forehead. “There you are, Just Y/N he whispered, his fingers dancing up and down her back. James dipped his head down and kissed her lips. It was quick but breathtaking. 
And then he passed her to the last person. Prince Remus. “Hello Princess,” he said simply. Then he kissed her, his kisses bruising. His fingers pushed at her dress as she tugged on the strings attached to his shirt. “We want you.”
“I want you too,” she whispered back.
Suddenly Sirius was behind her, unlacing the ribbon holding her dress together. He kissed down her back as he went. Remus pushed the dress further down her shoulders as James leaned over and kissed her tenderly. His kisses were slow and sweet but they still made Y/N whimper. 
Once she was stripped down to nothing, her nipples pebbling against the cold, Sirius took off his own shirt. His skin was warm against her own but she still shivered, if only just from his touch.
Before they could lay her down and make her feel pleasure beyond her wildest dreams, Y/N woke up with a start. She was breathing heavily, her chemise bunched around her hips. “Wow.”

Factually, I know that there are a bunch of younger people in the marauders/wolfstar fandom who haven't actually read the books, but the thing I just can't wrap my mind around is: WHY??? And I don't even mean it in the sense of "these kids are ruining the fandom and should read the canon before they start writing fics" (well... at least not entirely). I mean that I utterly don't get it as a choice for them. Like, there is SO MUCH media out there that (a) has way better canon, (b) has canonically queer characters, and (c) wasn't written by a racist TERF. For example, Young Royals. In itself, a really good show. And if these new MWPP fans' fics are anything to go by, it has the exactly the kind of character archetypes, character relationships, and story lines that these folks are actually interested in seeing/reading. There's also Good Omens, OFMD, the (small but great) the Old Guard, etc. The options are abundant these days!
Now, for all I know, a lot of these folks might be in a few of these other better-suited fandoms in addition to MWPP. But why do they bother with MWPP at all? I get that MWPP & Harry Potter in general is a bigger, older fandom with a lot of existing content. But I feel like this newer pack of MWPP fans could really help build up more vibrant communities in the fandoms that genuinely suit them if they just invested their time & energy on that instead of on attempting to shoehorn characters & story arcs that they don't even (canonically) like into a form they enjoy.
I have many thoughts about this, actually! It's an interesting thing to discuss.
(I'm going to start out by saying that if you're a newer/younger fan here and you are reading this post...cool, you do you. I understand that the hyperfixation brain worms sometimes lead you places you didn't expect and you can't extract yourself very easily. But I'm still going to talk about how it 'tis a bit puzzling to me.)
This is not going to be universal at all, but I find personally that the fandoms I'm more active in are the ones where the queer relationships aren't canon, or are only hinted at very very slightly. Like, I wrote 18 fics for Good Omens before the romance was confirmed, and after that I wrote...1. I've written one fic for Maurice and 130 for Sherlock. I think that once the couple I want to get together is actually confirmed in canon, there's nothing left for me to do, you know? No more writing sandbox to play in. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that Aziraphale and Crowley kissed and I cannot wait for season 3. I'm just not as compelled to write fic for that fandom now as I am for, say, Temeraire. So I can see people being more drawn to write for MWPP, with so many possibilities to play with and so many characters/couples, as opposed to Young Royals, which was a fun show to watch but I am not compelled to write anything for because the romance already played out on screen! Same with OFMD and Old Guard - LOVED watching them, don't really feel compelled to write for them.
Obviously this is not universal because those fandoms are thriving, but it's just kind of how my brain works.
Also, there must be something about the way that Sirius's and Remus's characters have been watered down/changed entirely for TikTok videos that is compelling to the younger crowd. I don't know, because I don't go there, but I've heard so many younger fans say they started shipping Wolfstar because of what they saw on TikTok.
So...yeah. I am as baffled as you! With the abundance of queer content out there not written by a TERF, it is definitely surprising to see the fandom gain new members. I am only here because Sirius Black grabbed me by the throat when I was 7 years old and hasn't let go since. If I hadn't been seized by the series at a formative age (and before her TERFness was known), I don't know if I would have gotten into it as an adult. But I can't speak for those fans! I can only speculate, like you.

Wolfstar medieval AU where Remus is the son of a farmer and while he's driving his wagon to a village when he comes across Sirius, the runaway crown prince. Sirius asks if he could hitch a ride with him, and Remus who was raised to be polite says yes. They get along really well but then they get attacked by assassins! Sirius manages to steal a bow and arrows and a knife off them. And then they have to stay in the woods together!
They have to keep evading the assassins, but they manage to sneak into another village to steal blankets, a tent, and bandages. Remus is naturally kinda suspicious of Sirius and Sirius confesses that the reason they're after him is because he's the prince and he's vulnerable because he's not with his guards! Remus asks him what his plan was after he got out of the castle and Sirius confesses that he'd just been very angry at his parents after an argument and had had no real plan.
They stay in the forest for another week and start to crush on each other as they venture nearer to the city the palace is in. When they get to the city they end up having an epic battle in the market place against the assassins. They end up winning against their attackers but Remus is arrested and Orion sends the order to execute him because he thinks Sirius ran away to be in love with Remus. Sirius finds James(who is a duke) and they rescue him!
Orion has heart attack immediately after this and dies so Sirius becomes king, and he takes Remus has his royal consort.
Just imagine! Remus teaching Sirius to forage, Sirius teaching Remus how to hunt with the bow and arrows, them playfully bathing together in a river, stargazing, cuddling together for warmth
this is so well thought out, omg. for a second i thought you meant sirius' parents sent the assassins. i think a medieval au is a great idea. would remus be alarmed and try to get him to go back to the castle?

Paranoia was watching his targets move, staying quiet in the trees. Not wanting to startle them into starting a fight. After all he was much better at stealing when he wasn't noticed by who he was stealing from. This was his riskiest job yet, used to pick pocketing those who come to close to the alleyways, or breaking into places at night. But this, this was different. He was to steal the Crown Prince's crown, and his royal guard's bow. In order to do this, Paranoia had elected to follow them out of the castle and to the town of Coajot, and steal their items when they were asleep. But then it became more complicated. There were three of them adventuring, and, on the first day, it looked like they were taking shifts. Paranoia rubbed at the patchwork cloak, and nearly gasped when he swore the guard must have seen him. But thankfully he had chosen to have bark like skin, so he blended into the trees. After a few minutes the guard looked away and Paranoia breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't been caught, but he needed to be more careful. One wrong move and he's in serious trouble, this is the Crown Prince and his guard, not some random noble in the shadows. Everything had to go perfectly, or he was dead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Janus felt like he was being watched. He was traveling with the princes to colleges in Coajot, in hopes to find one for both of them. Although he only really cared about getting the perfect college for his love, making sure Prince Remus was entertained enough to not burn the whole place down was important to. So they were looking at not only a college for bards but also for necromancer wizards as well. Which was going to be hard, seeing as necromancy was still seen as this taboo evil thing. Back to how Janus was feeling watched, it started a few days ago, when they were packing for their trip. He swore he saw a set of purple and green eyes before they were gone. And there was the general feeling of being watched. However he could never find where it was coming from. Nor could he tell what it was because it wasn't his favored enemy.
"Love, is everything alright?" Roman, the Crown Prince to the Kingdom of Shalinglah, and also Janus's boyfriend, asked him. Janus really didn't want to lie to him, but worrying his boyfriend who'd been stuck in the palace his whole life wasn't his goal either.
"Everything is fine love, just seeing things or something."
"Oooooh! I see things all the time, often times dead things!" Remus, Roman's brother, piped up. While he wasn't the Crown Prince, he was still important to the royal family. So Janus had to make sure he stayed alive as well, which was harder to do some days.
Janus sighed, "the sooner we get this over with the better. And we're sure we want to venture on foot rather than take a carriage, a carriage would be faster-"
"No!"
"Adventure is fun!"
Both twins interrupted him, before Roman spoke up, "Janus, what is the point of an adventure, if we're just going to be stuck in carriages the whole time? Again love, are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"Just got a weird feeling about this, it's probably nothing."
"Oooh, what kind of weird?"
"Shut up Remus, Jan and I are talking!"
"Don't tell me to shut up!"
"Both of you stop, we'll walk, but we're going to be extra cautious. Whatever is happening, I want us to be on top of it." Janus snapped, anxious and frustrated with how everything has been these past few days. The twins looked at him, both of them concerned as Janus doesn't usually act like this. "Look, I'm sorry, but one of us is to be awake at all times."
"Oooh, what if we took shifts, that way none of us was too tired to continue onwards!" Remus exclaimed, hoping to be actually helpful for once. Janus nodded, thinking it over for a minute.
"That could work. Remus, you shall take first shift, I'll take the next one, Roman you have the last shift. If either of you see anything suspicious, you wake me up immediately."
After both princes had agreed to this they started traversing through the woods to the town of Coajot. During the first night in the woods, Janus swore he saw something in the trees. But he couldn't see well enough to tell what it was. 'Probably an animal,' he thought to himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roman was arguing with his brother, Remus, about anything and everything. Yet he couldn't help but be worried about his boyfriend, Janus. Janus was looking around everywhere, trying to find something out of place. And honestly, Roman was feeling watched too, although that may have had to do with the fact that he couldn't use the wastebucket in a private spot. However he had been feeling watched before that, and had honestly felt less watched when he was using the wastebucket. So maybe there was something to the caution Janus seemed to be going through. But whatever, or maybe even whomever, was watching them hadn't done anything yet. So Roman wasn't too worried. Still he was cautious, ready to use his voice to ensnare whatever was following them into a false sense of security before he and his companions struck.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remus was bored. And sick of being watched by whatever was hiding in the trees. Scaring Prince Perfect and Snake Face was his job. Not some random forest coward's. While Remus wanted to go into the forest and find whoever it is that's watching them to give this stalker the worst time of their life, he didn't because he couldn't endure as much as the others(and Janus told him not to, that it wasn't worth getting in trouble for. If whatever was stalking them wanted to cause them harm, it probably would have already). So Remus would wait to bring the fear of all living things on this stalker until they showed themself. It had been three days of wandering the forest, and only lightly tormenting his brother and Janus; trying to ease the worry they were both feeling, and they had finally reached the city of Coajot. All three of them thought they would lose whatever was stalking them, or at least be able to tell what was going on. But all of them kept feeling watched all the way to the local tavern, The Flying Crystal, when a sickly thin centaur came out of the alleyway and collapsed in front of them.
"Do you think he's dead?" Remus asked, genuinely curious. Despite studying necromancy, he'd never seen a dead body before.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patton knew they should've eaten that sandwich that they managed to buy. But were they supposed to say no to that starving kid on the street? Sure, they were also starving, but it's better that they starve than another kid who can't take care of themself. They knew they were not only small, but dangerously skinny for a centaur, and they felt so hungry, just wanting a bit of food just to eat. But, despite being a thief, they would not steal for themself. If they managed to gain people's sympathy, and they decided to give Patton money or food then yeah, Patton would eat it, if someone didn't need it more than them. They also hadn't had a good sleep in years, and as they came out of the alleyway that the kid was in, everything went dark. They couldn't see, but before they were completely out of it, they heard someone exclaim:
"Do you think he's dead?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were many things Logan was not intending to do today, or expecting to happen. Especially on his routine meal-break. But here he was now, trying to help this sickly centaur, with his minimal medicine skills. Thankfully he had managed to research some just a day ago. So it was easier for him to eliminate what would not work, and use what could. And he definitely hadn't expected to meet the prince's and their guard.
"Ah, it would probably be best to get him a bed at the tavern, and then get him something to eat afterwards, however too much might, erm what's the term, oh right, upset his stomach, and make his situation worse. After that, a diet will be best to put him on, for the longterm, and making sure he sticks to it is important as well." And Logan was rambling again. Coughing to distract from his thoughts, he barely remembered to add, "but taking him to an actual healer would probably work wonders, and they could tell you more than me." There was however something that was bugging Logan, he felt like he was being studied. Like the creatures in the college's nature observatory that he goes to. While normally Logan would even encourage being studied and used as an example for what to do, he did not enjoy being studied without his permission. Before he can start to look around, trying to find the source of whomever was studying him, the guard stops him.
The guard had an interesting appearance, as Logan had never seen scales on a human before, and one eye was that of a snake. He'd only ever heard of them. If Logan got permission, he would analyze that later.
"Will you help us get this centaur to a bed?" The guard asked, his voice silky smooth, and it felt like threads were being woven when he spoke too.
"Of course," with that both Logan and the Prince used the same spell, mage hand, to help carry the Centaur, with all four individuals picking up the centaur with their actual hands.
Once all of them were in the room the guard explained why he had stopped Logan from looking around. All about the stalking by a creature or individual, and how the guard couldn't manage to find any proof, but the feeling was there. And how the only way to stop whoever was stalking them was to let them get as close as possible, without letting their guard down. Also, Logan now knew and had permission to call them all by their names.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paranoia was pissed, first of all, of course the tavern that they all go in through is a No Changelings Allowed tavern. One of the one's that meant it and had a way of magically taking down a changeling's disguise through the front entrance. Next, now they have more creature's that Paranoia has to get around. Thankfully the room they got had a window, so he could sneak in. Unthankfully it was on the second floors, so Paranoia would have to climb to get in. So he waited until night, and when the moon was highest in the sky, he would sneak in and steal the crown and bow. As he quietly got in the room, he looked around, and everyone seemed to be asleep. Finding the Crown Prince's bag, it was more extra than he expected; red, with golden jewels glinting in the moonlight, Paranoia looked through it, and found the crown. Right after putting it in his pocket, and before he could turn around, he felt the tip of a sharp weapon, probably a sword, lightly pressed against his back.
"And just what do you think you're doing?"
