what do non mauraders fans do??? like my life revolves around them, every waking moment is consumed by just the thought of them. do they just do nothing???
“every magic spell ends when the caster dies”
sirius has always known that. it was one of the first things his tutors told him when he was barely a toddler, and it was mentioned in some hogwarts' classes once or twice.
he sometimes ponders about it, how certain magic wasn't everlasting.
he witnessed it once, in his seventh year. the war had already started, and with each passing day, more and more students got black letters delivered, all of them mentioning some recently deceased relative. it was a third year ravenclaw girl he doesn't quite remember, but who always carried a fairy doll that her uncle enchanted to act like a living one. she always carried it in her pocket and let her out when she was bored or to show it to other students.
the day she got her letter at breakfast, she frantically searched her robes and took out the little doll, and it looked just like that, a doll. no more flapping wings, tiny giggles and fairy dust, just a toy. she burst into tears then, and was inconsolable for months.
it's one of sirius' most vivid memories.
it seemed so bizarre.
he prayed something like that never happened to him, because it would hurt. it would destroy him.
he was only given enchanted things by the people he loved the most, so he would know immediately if any of the different trinkets were to just go dull. the second it happened, he would know he has to face a reality without one the fundamental beings of his very self. it terrified him.
it was one of his biggest fears.
and it happened to him.
it was a thursday afternoon.
they had a rare free day. no fights, no funerals and no war in his and remus' flat, not for that day. james and peter were there too, an 'afternoon with the lads' they called it. they were laying on the living room, sprawled all over, bowie on the record player and cards on the table along with some beers.
he was on the way to the kitchen when he felt his hair falling out of the messy bun he did in the morning.
and, with a little clink, there was a metal star hairpin on the ground.
he knew then.
it was a secret, how he kept that hairpin. well, not a secret per se, but no one knew where it actually came from. only sirius.
no one knew he had the most horrendous time trying to tie his hair when it was long enough to do so. his hair was just as temperamental as him, which meant that they usually didn't get along. he suffered for months until that hairpin was gifted to him.
sirius didn't quite know how it really worked, just that it was charmed to make everything easier. he just had to think about the hairstyle he wanted for the day, and the hairpin would do it, shrinking or getting bigger if it was necessary, securing his hair perfectly and without much fuss.
no one knew that except sirius.
and regulus, who gifted it to him in his third year.
regulus.
his baby brother.
“every magic spell ends when the caster dies”
trans regulus who thinks no one is taking him serious so he has to be a cold bitch all the time and put people in their place but imagine his surprise when he realizes james is actually taking him very serious. (after his friends) james makes him feel seen, he makes him feel confident because in james' eyes he is a boy no matter how much transphobia he gets to endure during a day.
james looks at him and sees nothing but a boy that is lethally beautiful and dangerous.
i can’t believe i started reading tgk when 22 chapters were posted and everyone (myself included) thought james was gone for good and now he’s slapping reg’s ass, that’s hilarious
i just feel like no matter what the circumstances are or what universe they’re in, james potter is the type of man to slap regulus on the ass
moonwater save me save me moonwater
james probably says “thank you god for this meal” before going down on regulus idk
[Insert any joke about Regulus and water here]
Sirius on the surface like hmmmm I wonder what’s taking them so long 🤔
Just remembered seeing a post that said “everything that made regulus quiet, made sirius loud.”
what. the. fuck.
Trans Regulus as "The rise of a king and the fall of a queen"
oh Seventeen
(After James comes out as Bisexual to the Marauders)
Sirius: I thought you were straight!
James: *points at Regulus* I thought I was too until he went and did that!
Remus: ...You just gestured to all of him.
