Wolfstar Shopping At Tesco ( a.k.a Sirius having the time of his life because muggle shopping is so ‘cool’ and Remus being done with him and actually trying to get some shopping done 😭😭😭 )

sunday snippet!

sneaking this in just under the wire. thanks to @madefortherain for the tag!

(just a short one today because lotf chapter 3 has been giving me Issues)

And that...that earns a laugh out of Sirius. A real one, Remus can tell. He finds himself staring at the way Sirius's smile widens until it breaks open, the way his eyes flutter closed. Every single thing this man does is beautiful.

Operation - @wolfstarmicrofic - wc: 254 - Trans!Remus

Sirius sighs in relief when Remus’s eyes flutter open. Not that he has any reason to feel anxious anymore. It’s been over a week since the operation, and Remus’s doctor assured them, quite insistently, at his follow-up appointment that everything is healing normally and that Remus should be back to his normal energy levels soon. Still, surgery is a big deal, and he knows how important this one is to Remus. If something goes wrong—well, Remus doesn’t like it when Sirius thinks that way, so he tries his best not to.

“Good morning, love,” Sirius whispers, propping himself up on his elbow to look down at his boyfriend. Just as he had done every morning since the surgery, Remus lifts a hand to his chest, as if double-checking that it’s flat. And then he smiles in relief, just as he does every morning. “Don’t worry,” Sirius teases. “You’re still breast free.”

Remus rolls his eyes, but he’s still smiling brightly.

“Here.” Sirius reaches over to the side table where he keeps a bottle of water and Remus’s pain medication. “You must be sore. Go on, drink up, and I’ll start breakfast. I’ll give you a bath and tend to your battle wounds after you eat, how does that sound?”

“It sounds wonderful.” Remus’s smile transforms into something softer, something that’s just for Sirius. “But you have to stop calling my top surgery scars ‘battle wounds.’”

“No can do, Moons.” He ruffles Remus’s hair playfully as he climbs out of bed. “No can do.”

hi so we can in fact enjoy pathetic loser characters without being ableist! i looove pathetic loser remus but it’s disgusting and ableist to say he’s pathetic because he’s disabled…come on y’all, i’m so sick of this.

Honestly I love how wolfstar are both a little pathetic, but they still think the other one is so freaking cool lol

You'll see remus spilling tea all over his grandpa jumpers, complaining about chronic pain, going to bed by nine, hating on every new popular trend and sirius will remain absolutely terrified that one day moony's gonna wake up and discover he's just too cool for him.

On the other hand, sirius trips on every damn sidewalk because he insists on wearing pants too big for his size, whines every morning about his bread crusts and needs remus to kiss any paper cut he might have. And remus is still drooling all over him every step of the way.

Sleepy Sundays

i have chosen violence on reddit tonight & i feel great about it bc y’all are insane.

OK, fandom, here’s a thing about Remus Lupin we don’t hear nearly enough about: sometimes, being a werewolf wasn’t an unrelenting cycle of angst.  Sure there was a lot of suckage, but sometimes there was fun.

‘And they didn’t desert me at all.  Instead they did something for me that would make my transformations not only bearable, but the best times of my life.  They became Animagi.’

(Chapter 19, The Servant of Lord Voldemort, PoA.)

Where are you all hiding the fic and arts when teenage Remus gets to actually enjoy some full moon high-jinks?  There’s more misery and moping around the hospital wing than you can shake a stick at and, I get that, I really do, we all love a bit of h/c, we hurt the ones we love the most and all that malarkey.  But surely there’s room for more?  The roaming the school grounds, running about the Forest, wild animal adventures?  Most times there’s not much willingness to even admit that Remus ever had any fun, instead just a grudging acceptance that his Animagi friends made full moon a bit less bad, maybe even tolerable.  but Remus very clearly says otherwise.  To repeat:

‘The best times of my life.’

Look, it’s not like Remus didn’t have enough misery, can we not let the poor bastard enjoy the one bit of fun canon gives him?  Oh, and while we’re on the subject, he goes on:

‘And there were near misses, many of them.  We laughed about them afterwards.’

Think about that for a minute.  Remus came close to attacking people during the full moon on multiple occasions, but far from being consumed with self-loathing and regret, managed to laugh about it afterwards.  I mean, he had a bit of a conscience about it, but:

‘I always managed to forget my guilty feelings every time we sat down to plan our next month’s adventure.’

Sure, he knew what he was doing was dangerous, and sometimes he felt a bit bad about it.  But it didn’t stop him doing it, didn’t stop him laughing off the dangers, didn’t stop him regarding the full moon as an “adventure.” 

There will always be fans of long-suffering Remus and, hey, knock yourselves out if that’s fun for you.  But, oh, what I wouldn’t give for a little more of canon Remus who is no sort of soft doughy cinnamon roll but is a bit of a thrill-seeker, not entirely honest, and definitely capable of having fun.  

Don’t @ me unless you’ve got recs or are up for planning next month’s adventure.

I think people let JK Rowling's transphobia define her too much, we need to acknowledge her other aspects.

She's also a racist, antisemitic, and a Holocaust denier, we can't forget that!

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started
