as i promised you…
original idea from @siriusqueerionblack who has an amazing blog
warning : i’m cis so if i said anything offensive or innacurate please message me and i’ll fix it right away.
- remus figured out it was time he told his friends.
- after all, they had been completly acceptant about his lycanthropy when they had found out one year ago, so why not about that ?
- so he decided he would tell them, and he felt confident about their reactions.
- it happened friday evening, and they were working on the map, when he cleared his throat and asked them if they could listen to him for a second.
- the marauders shifted in “confidence position”, which meant all sitted on the bed of the one who wanted to talk, james holding him by the shoulder.
- he started to be very nervous, but when he saw sirius comforting grin, he started to talk :
- “guys, i know it probobly doesn’t matter to you all, but i wanted you to know that i’m transgender.”
- he feeled better as soon as he said it. but as he glanced at the marauders, he realized they are all frozen in shock and his enthiusiasm dies in his stomach.
- no one says anything for a minute, and remus breaks down and starts to ask them why they aren’t saying anything and if they hate for this, because if he is not at all insecure about it he is afraid his friends will throw him out of the dorm.
- but james laughes a bit and says “no, moony, i’m sorry, sorry if we scared you. it’s just that…”
- and he hugs remus very hard and announce “i’m trans too.”
- and remus just stares at him and he is too surprised to do anything so he just hugs him back and laughes a bit because what the hell is this coincidence ?
- but they are interrumpted by peter who whispered “you gotta be kidding me…”
- and james turns to him and asks him if anything’s wrong with that, slightly aggresive. but peter just opens his mouth and shouts “me. fucking. too.”
- and this time they all burst out lauging because this is crazy, but so cool.
- so james turns to sirius and says “look at that, sirius, you’re the only cis in the room.”
- and sirius blushes and mumbles “well… actually…” and he joins what will be remembered as the Super Trans Hug of Third Year
- so the marauders are officially all trans, and you can’t expect them to just ignore this.
- first, there are the puns.
- a monday night in the dorm : “remus can you help me with my trans-figuration homeworks ?” “sorry pete i already have a trans-lation to do in ancient runes” “any one can name me three muggles means of trans-port ? it’s for muggles studies”
- and those are the good ones
- because everytime james is back from quidditch practice, he is greeted by “go take a shower, james, you smell like trans-piration !”
- and of course it doesn’t stop with the puns.
- that won’t be very marauder.
- that means that when lily told james not to be a dick, sirius bursted in from nowhere and exclaimed “oh honey i can assure you there is no dick here”
- and then walk around the castle with james yelling that no one here’s a dick
- he still refers to it sometimes. he is way too proud of it, according to remus.
- but of course trans marauders also mean that there will be a “punishment prank” everytime a pure blood will use sirius’s dead name or the wrong pronouns
- but only after a Special Night Of Comfort Against Dysphoria, involving hot chocolate and stupid games and embarassing stories and soppy comfort lines.
- it’s during those nights they practiced binding charms together and learned how to prepare an hormonal potion
- and they always little references to their transgenderism in public, but noboby understands what they mean and is very confused
- for example : there is a reason the marauders started to call sirius “pads” and it’s not the short for “padfoot”
- basically trans marauders being super supportive of each other and really cute.
