I was writing a fic today and I meant to type “Sirius had the sass to seduce anyone”
instead I typed:
“Sirius has the ass to seduce anyone”
my subconscious… Knows.

Sirius does not go to Azkaban and instead choose to follow Dumbledore to ask him to be the one to raise Harry.
But since he really does need his mother’s blood protection, they have to seek the only solution left : Sirius and Remus move in with Harry and the Dursleys so he can get both a proper family and the magic link.
The entire Harry Potter Saga is then replaced by an hilarious “unlikely roommates” type sitcom.
when i was a kid and i read the books for the first time, i thought the reason why remus’ clothes were all patched together was because he ripped them off when he transformed, and so 10y/o me read this display of misery and unfair result of discrimination as:
“haha what a silly guy 😀 you can just take your clothes off before you change, or wear a really ugly pyjama you won’t regret 😀 how did you not think of it?”
sirius : *texting remus out of the blue* HEY I LOVE YOU
remus : okay you’re either drunk or need me to bail you out of jail
8 – “You hide in jokes and sarcasm, but I can see how broken you are”
29 – “You can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to me.”
(i already did 11, so i decided not to include it? sorry, i just had more inspiration with combining the other two. also apparently im really going with that whole new writing style, huh. nice)

Masks. They were all there ever were to see. Remus Lupin was a man of secrets, and every single one of them piled up until the blur that was his truth lied invisible to everyone, even Remus himself.
“You hide in jokes and sarcasm, but I can see how broken you are.” Sirius’ voice felt soft and secure, but Remus knew the words meant threat. No one could see what was in between those masks, those thousands of lies that protected him.
“You can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to me.” The softness, again. Remus’ firm faith in his parents’ advice to never let others know faltered. Sirius’ voice was intoxicating, like a poison running through the cracks in his shield of acting and lying and pretending.
After all, he didn’t even know who was this “him” he wanted to protect.
(thank you! this isnt my usual style, but im actually quite fond of it)

Sirius gently pressed Remus’ hand. “How long do we have?”
“He’ll be back in half an hour.” Remus’ voice was determined and firm. “And he’ll probably be in a bad mood, so let’s make the most of it.”
Sirius nodded, and quickly wrapped his arms around Remus’ waist. He brought their lips together, and soon their kiss became more heated. They moved to the bedroom, knowing full well they would have to rush every caress, every word and sound, every gesture of love, for their love lived on borrowed time, and being caught would result in death.
They were aware that the oh-so-short timeframes which restricted their growing, blossoming love would soon left them feeling claustrophobic, but despair can lead a man to the less wise decisions. For now, their passion would take over the oppresive weight of their daily life, and every touch would break them free.
(thank you! this was fun to write even if i dont usually write or read ootp era)

Sirius clenched his fist tighter around the bottle in his hand. Tears were gathering in his eyes. He wasn’t certain if he should scream or sob.
“Please don’t leave me…” His voice was trembling, either with fury or tears. He wished for fury.
Remus averted his eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, my love, I hate this as much as you do, but I have no choice, Dumbledore needs me to talk to the packs and…”
The name felt like a sudden trigger, unleashing all of his rage.
“Screw Dumbledore!” he yelled. “We don’t own him shit. He’s the one who locked me away in that god awful house that I hate, he’s the one who sent Harry away, he’s the one who forced you to go back with Greyback even after everything he did to you!” A sob escaped, but once again his anger overtook and he yelled again. “And yet you’re still following him around, obeying him like you’re his good pet werewolf! You abandon me every fucking time he asks you to, because you’re a fucking traitor, Remus!”
He was immediately silenced by the weight of the word that he had dared to use. Remus turned his back on him and walked to the door.
“You’re drunk, Sirius. I’ll be back in three days if nothing goes wrong. No owls.” And with that, he went away.
james potter was a decent artist (he doodled a lot and harry called it good)
sirius black loved crosswords
remus lupin apparently loved fires, he was often mentioned to stand near chimneys
peter pettigrew was a fucking marauder
the marauders managed to become animagi, create a magic map, prepare thousands of pranks, have a love life, be politically engaged AND stay on top of all of their classes?
