Okay, I actually have to correct this, but no hate or anything! Fanon has made it seem like James harassed her, but he didn’t! In canon, he asked her out one (1) time, during Snape’s memory, and, presumably, a second when they got together. There was no harassment. He was 15 and dumb, but he canonically changed for the better. On top of that, the Marauders never bullied Snape. Snape had a very large death-eater friend group who had a rivalry with the Marauders. It went both ways! The Marauders hated them because they were horrible people and Lily hated most of them, too. Point being: Jily isn’t toxic! They were young and did things a little quick because there was a war going on. I love Jamie I will die for him omg
I ship fanon jily but I do not ship canon jily. You're telling me a guy who bullied a girl's best friend, harrassed her, wouldn't take no for an answer when she made it clear she wasn't interested in him, told her he'd stop bullying said friend if she went out with him, ended up marrying said girl? And she had a baby at 21? Sounds pretty toxic to me (even if said 'best friend' was also a dick).
THIS THIS THIS!!! I love these so much. Your takes are so amazing
hellllloooo!!! i love your hcs, coz i may not agree with all of them, but marauders characters are so three dimensional it's almost refreshing to see a different take to mine! with that being said, would you mind sharing some wolfstar hcs? i really like your remus and sirius ones, and i hate to be a bother, but I really want to see what you think!!
thank youu <3
of course, anon! i agree with you, seeing different takes (even if you don’t agree with them) can be so refreshing, and sometimes even bring a “wait, i can actually see that!” moment. here you go:
remus is the perfect height for sirius to give him forehead kisses
(and sirius is the perfect height for resting his chin on remus’ head)
smoke together
sirius can be quite awkward with affection (due to growing up in an environment in which it was limited), while remus is quite affectionate (he was showered in physical affection as a child, especially by his mother)
remus showed sirius what gentle love can feel like
their dynamic didn’t change much after they started dating, especially since not a lot of people knew about their relationship
sirius is not used to verbalising his feelings (especially love) so when he told remus he loved him remus’ face broke into the biggest dopiest smile
do book exchanges! before they started dating especially, remus passed sirius his (annotated) muggle books, and sirius always enjoyed reading the little bits remus had added to the original story
snog in broom closets between classes. remus is always pressed against the door so no one can actually open it and walk im on them
due to knowing how to imitate handwriting, sirius does remus’ essays when he’s feeling under the weather after the full moon; he also helps him whenever else remus needs to, although he doesn’t want to admit it
in love with each other and SHOW it, but they’re not codependent
nerds
sirius always does the crosswords on remus’ newspaper. it’s become their thing
Remus is a big hoodie and no trousers kind of guy, Sirius is a big trousers and no shirt kind of guy. I’m imagining Remus walking around in nothing but Sirius’ jumpers (which absolutely drown him, by the way) while Sirius watches him, blushing with a grin on his face he can’t quite wipe, because there’s marks on his thighs and neck from last night.
I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR SO LONG YESSSSSSS
hear me out ; dyslexic james potter
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT A MISTAKE
Sirius smokes. Remus sits outside to talk to him while he does it. James follows them out and blows bubbles just to hang out with them. Peter follows James out and watches the smoke and bubbles.
James Potter who knows how to take care of long hair. He learned how to properly section and brush it, how to braid, how to make a bun, how to trim split ends, how to pick the right products, how to clean it, how to take care of curls, all of it. Lily doesn’t understand— his hair is constantly a mess and he only uses high-end product because his dad makes it. Then, she walks into the dorm towards the end of seventh year to see him sitting on a bed, a very disheveled Sirius in front of him, slouching and half-dead looking, while James gently brushes out his freshly-washed, mid-back length hair.
James, being the amazing friend and brother he is, learned how to take care of hair because he knows how much Sirius’ hair means to him, but he gets depressed sometimes and can’t do it, himself.
So, I’m writing a werewolf!Sirius AU, and I’ve written this quote from his POV.
“Being alright involves letting his guard down, it means putting his trust in someone else’s hands, it means opening his bleeding heart to show off the monsters living in there, clawing at the organ and smearing crimson over his insides.”
I need you all to understand the amount of symbolism I put into this quote, particularly the second half.
It refers to him having a “bleeding heart” specifically (and I know it’s not in this excerpt, but it’s in the bigger thing) in reference to his childhood, along with monsters (his parents, etc.). This is inferring that he is extremely sympathetic and kind, and, because of everything he went through, he can relate to people’s pain even more, which makes him more empathetic.
The monsters living in there bit is a pretty obvious reference to trauma and self-hate, but them clawing at his heart and smearing blood is also symbolism. Blood is red, which is a reference to how his treatment in his childhood made him Gryffindor-brave, along with extremely passionate (which is what red means in colour theory!).
Also, subtle reference to the phrase “bleed your heart out” (meaning, “to suffer a great deal of emotional pain; to feel extreme sadness for someone else”). My boy has suffered and thinks too much about other people.
Anyways, I just really wanted to show off how much thought I put into this line, please appreciate it :)

This is what I mean when I say that Sirius loved Regulus but did not like him. I don’t think I could ever stop loving my baby siblings, but I think I could stop liking them
no offence but if my younger sister told me she not only agreed to ethnic cleansing ideals and found it alright, but personally wanted to be part of it and kill children i would not really like her that much. and tbh. i think thats justified.
Oh my god, you’re so right! I’m imagining that the above scene took place in their dorm, because, again, traumatized and terrified, respectively. But even when they’re not on top of each other (like they are in private) they’re always touching somehow, even if it’s just holding hands. They’re physically close in public, but like Velcro in private.
WolfStar is disgustingly cuddly, even though Sirius is, typically, quite averse to physical contact (traumatized and physically abused) and Remus isn’t too touchy (scared people will find out his secret). The running excuse is that Remus is cold all the time (true) and Sirius doesn’t care (untrue) and is always warm (true). Before they go public with their relationship, everyone is mind boggled.
“You don’t care… that Moony is, quite literally, sitting in your lap, inside your jumper with you.”
“Why would I care?”
“One time, Marlene hugged you from behind without sufficient warning and you didn’t let anyone touch you for a week straight.”
“And?”
“… And now you and Moony have been cuddling for well over an hour, but you’re still sitting there doing nothing about it?”
“Astute observation, Prongs.”
“Y’know, Si, if you want me to move—”
“Who the fuck said I wanted you to move?”
“Well, James is right— you don’t usually like—”
“You’re cold, I’m warm. You’re all cuddled in. We’re both comfortable. Why should you move? That makes no sense, Moons.”
“Yeah, you’re right. That doesn’t make sense. I’ll stay here.”
“But? Padfoot? Hates? Being? Touched?”
Sirius literally towers over everyone. He’s like 6’5 and super broad. He’s not touchy, but his favourite form of physical contact is putting his chin on people’s heads (only his closest friends). Remus (5’10) likes cuddling up as close as possible to gather heat, like a little warmth-sponge, and will worm himself so far into Sirius’ personal space that he ends up inside of his jumper with him. James, being the second tallest Marauder (6’0), doesn’t fit unless he hunches over, but he enjoys it the most out of the whole friend group, partially because James is also pretty broad and Sirius is the only one who can make him feel dainty. Peter (5’3) likes it, but feels really short whenever Sirius does it, which is annoying. Lily (5'5) thought it was weird at first, but got used to it and started to find it sweet when he began doing it when she got close after getting with James.
