Canon is so scary like what do you mean Sirius black spent more time Azkaban than with his friends
What do you mean the marauders didn't live happily ever after with their lovers
What do you mean Sirius and Regulus never fixed their relationship and died thinking one hated the other
What do you mean Peter wasn't the cool uncle who bakes cake for Harry and Luna
What do you mean Lily Evans wasn't a swiftie and will never know who Taylor Swift is
Like, WHAT DO YOU MEAN??

@jegulus-microfic january 6, exclude, 115 words
“Please include me in your conversation. I don’t wanna be a third wheel just because Moony is on prefect duty,” Sirius moans, lying across the seat in their train compartment.
Opposite him, Regulus is curled into James’ side, James’ arm slung around his shoulders, lips close to his ear.
“Oh sorry, Pads. I—” James begins, before Regulus cuts in.
“James was just telling me that he can’t wait to get home, where he doesn’t have to share a room and can fu—”
Sirius gets to his feet in a panic, hands flying up to cover his ears as he says, “I take it back. Please, for the love of god, exclude me from your conversation!”

Today's @wolfstarmicrofic prompt is a coffee shop au!
(596 words.)
Sirius Black is a heartbreaker.
James watches his best friend carefully, on date after date, leaving a string of broken hearts behind him. For a while, he thinks Sirius is just really quite picky, waiting for Mr Right, until James asks him how his last date went, and he just shrugs and tells him that he's just fucking around. Yeah, it frustrates him to no end, but what can he do? He wouldn't be as bothered if he didn't know Sirius as well as he does. He remembers Sirius back when they were in boarding school, talking about getting married one day, mentioning his future husband whenever he got the chance. It's just weird to see him throw all of that out the window.
Still, it's not like James can say anything. Sirius brushes him off whenever he tries.
He even stops talking about his dates altogether.
Whether it's because James kept pushing, or because Lily hates hearing it, he doesn't know. All he knows is that Sirius is staying strangely quiet about his love life. He can't push anymore, though. There's no point, it gets him nowhere.
"Afternoon, Remus!" James says brightly, shoving the door to his favourite coffee shop open and grinning at the barista. Remus matches his smile, before arching a wry eyebrow.
"Where've you been? Almost thought I'd leave without telling you my news!" Remus says, already wordlessly having tapped James' order into the till and getting started on it while he pays.
"Well, I'm here now! Out with it!"
He can see Remus smiling in the reflection of the coffee machine, which only piques James' curiosity. Finally, Remus turns with a to go cup, setting it on the glass counter and promptly resting his elbows behind it.
"I think I'm in love," he says simply, with a grin. "Actually, that's a lie. I'm definitely in love."
"Remus! That's amazing!" James says happily, grabbing his drink and beaming at his favourite barista. "Really, that's brilliant! Didn't you say you were off, soon? I need to hear all about this lucky person!"
"Oh, he's, er... he's actually taking me out again, today. He's picking me up in a few." Remus pulls his apron off, James following him across the length of the counter while he grabs his bag and waves goodbye to Marlene.
"I'm so happy for you, Remus. You deserve nothing but the best."
"Sap," Remus says with a smile, nudging his regular. Well, his friend now. "Oh, he's here!" He watches as Remus' face brightens, before following his movement with his head as Remus runs right over to-
"Sirius!" Remus calls, and Sirius smiles, arm immediately winding around Remus' waist and pulling him into a kiss.
Oh, fuck.
James told himself he wasn't going to intervene with Sirius' love life, but... it's Remus. Remus, who just told James that he's in love. He knows Sirius' track record, and he can't let Remus get hurt like that. Just as he opens his mouth to speak, to pull Sirius aside and give him a very firm warning, something makes him falter.
Namely, Sirius looking at Remus like he hung the stars in the sky.
Huh.
The way he looks at Remus is startlingly similar to the way he looked at his first major crush, the one he claimed to have fallen in love with. It's enough for James, to be honest. They're in their own world, like they're the only real beings in the universe. Sirius hasn't even noticed James yet, and that's really saying something.
Maybe he is just really bloody picky.
