can you turn the prompt 'he studies his scars in the mirror' into a wolfstar one shot? if you feel like taking prompts at some stage xxx
hi! yeah of course! iโm more than willing to do that. <3
so, for now i have this rule where i only write brief one shots with 600-1k words. it's short but sweet, i suppose. i hope you like it.
Warnings:
light angst, mentions of scars
~*~
Remus has never liked his scars. They make him feel on edge. A constant reminder of his imprisonment. His torture. Sometimes the only thing he wants is to kill the creature that lurks inside of him.
He studies his scars in the mirror. His fragile body pale and nimble. Trembling all over. He canโt remember it all, but last nightโs full moon was rough. He distantly recalls the feeling of his bruised, cut feet and Sirius' warm figure carrying his nude body along the woods.
"My beautiful Moony." Remus flinches at the choice of words, as he takes a moment to admire Siriusโ reflection appearing in the mirror. The nickname always reminds him of the unbearable pain, he so desperately wishes he could forget. Siriusโ gaze lingers over his bare arms and chest, pupils dilating and flickering over the scars. It lefts him feeling self conscious and a tiny part at the back of his head demands to move his body out of sight, but his body refuses to obey to his frantic thoughts.
"You're marvelous to my eyes," Sirius whispers, cloud like voice, softly wrapping around Remusโ senses. He lowers his eyes, his fingers running gently over one of his most recent scars, which hasnโt quite healed yet. Remus hasnโt said anything yet, but his chest feels too heavy and he holds onto his heart, instead of giving it to Sirius.
"I know what youโre thinking about. Itโs alright, Remus. Thereโs nothing wrong about you." He canโt find it in him to fill the space with words. Itโs not like he could, even if he wanted to. Remus takes a deep breath and slowly spins around to face his love. He stares into Sirius' dark eyes and exhales long and slow, nodding.
The level of intimacy they share in their glances is mesmerizing. Sirius is speaking with his eyes to express his love. Nothing is left unsaid. He brushes Remusโ cheek with his thumb and reaches for bandages, placing them on each of his scars carefully. With a little frown, causing a crease between his brows, he places a kiss beside one of the bandages.
Remusโ whole body reacts to it alongside a small, shaky sigh lost in his breath. Letting his gaze wander, Sirius places a few more kisses and lifts his gaze with a questioning look. "Does it feel better?"
"Yes..." Remus says quietly, almost like a whisper. He smiles slightly. A small but genuine smile. He lifts his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind Siriusโ ear and then his thumb strokes his temple, while his remaining fingers gently ease into his hair. โWhy is it always you who can make me feel these things?โ he asks, voice heavy.
Sirius instinctively leans into his touch with a tiny grin on his face. Remusโ heart flutters slightly at how close there are now. โI could ask you the same question,โ he replies softly and lets out a small, shaky breath as well, his hand threading into Remusโ hair and running through it gently.
He never experiences love, safety and happiness as much as he does with Sirius. How could he worry about his scars, when he has the biggest blessing of his life right in front of him? And when Sirius kisses him, the whole world dials down to just their little bubble, where itโs just safety, warmth and love.
"I love you," Sirius says, the words slipping past his lips like a prayer, whispered into the space between their mouths. A tiny whimper escaping Remus as Sirius kisses him again. Again and again.
Itโs as though theyโre minted love itself. His heart slams against his lungs as Siriusโ eyes penetrate his soul. He touches him like heโs the most beautiful creature he ever laid eyes on. Remus has never been more in love. Never known a soul like his. Sirius is what his soul knows and theyโll always meet for a love, that has never been more certain.
Sirius is the one
who heals him -
who makes his scars
feel beautiful.
โsome people think sirius loved remus despite his lycanthropy. wrong. sirius loved remus WITH his lycanthropy. he accepted and loved this side of Remus with everything he had. sirius loved remus, lycanthropy and all.โ
i like fully want to agree with this, like wholeheartedly wish I could- but if he did love remus with lycanthropy he wouldnโt have used it as a excuse to stop trusting him
Same with James and lily, sure they never believed Remus was the spy but they still didnโt tell him they were switching the secret keeper, so there mustโve been some doubt in their mind/ mistrust (and letโs face it, it was because of his lycanthropy- nothing else) that Remus was in fact the spy because as a werewolves he had a โmotiveโ
SIDE NOTE: I bet you if peter was also a werewolf (hypothetically speaking) I bet you they wouldnโt have trusted him either in that time
thatโs fair! my fan interpretation was clouding my judgment a little bit. nevertheless, i still think only sirius didn't trust remus enough to tell him that they changed the secret keeper. isnโt that whatโs given in canon? and even if he trusted remus fully, peter wouldโve been the more tactical choice bc remus was in "dangerโ all the time and wouldnโt be able to keep it safe. peter was less of a target. iโm confused tbh, but tell me if iโm wrong pls. :) itโs been a while since i read the books, but i donโt ever recall reading that james and lily mistrusted remus or suspected him. i donโt think they wouldโve ever done that. sirius mistrusted him at some point and james was definitely aware of that, but i'm sure he never ever bought that. in the end he agreed not to tell remus, but i think not bc he believed what sirius said, but bc he loved him and he deluded himself thinking that not telling remus would be a way to keep him safe. mistrusting remus was one of sirius' biggest regrets, but i donโt think it was only bc of his lycanthropy. he suspected remus as the spy bc he was distant and more of a "loner", not necessarily bc he was a werewolf, but thatโs just my personal opinion you know. maybe iโm wrong. i know in the prisoner of azkaban they both said sorry to each other bc they thought of each other as the spy. tbh i also think making peter the secret keeper wasn't necessarily a choice of trust. they made him the keeper bc no one wouldโve suspected him to be the keeper. it was a trick. ngl this is actually a topic worth of discussion haha. thanks for sharing your point of view with me and if you like, you can write me your opinion on what i just wrote. would love to hear your thoughts and also the thoughts of others.

just remembered that The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite Harry Potter movieย and Rem is my favorite characterย
Moony and Padfoot
Remus reading muggle books to Sirius is the headcanon Iโm here for
โณ "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals"
โCome dance with me Moony.โ Sirius was holding out his hand to Remus, who was sat on their couch.
you are all i long for
โLet me finish grading this paper.โ Sirius gently put the papers to the side, ignoring Remusโs protests.
all i worship and adore
โYou need a break babe, come on itโs your favorite.โ He wasnโt wrong, Sinatra was one of his favorite artists. Remus broke out to a grin as Sirius pulled him up.
in other words, please be true
Sirius leaned his head on Remusโs chest while they let the music play.
in other words, i love you
Taylor Swift really wrote the line You drew stars around my scars, but now i'm bleedin' and expected me to be fine.
Remus always knew he was destined to fall in love with Sirius, but it isnโt until he wears a certain leather jacket does his heart finally explode. Requested by @stubborn-angels!
Send me more requests here, Iโd love to write something for you!
He didnโt know when he was going to fall in love, or how, but from the very first moment they met on the train during their first year, Remus knew that someday, some way, he was going to fall in love with Sirius Black.
Remus waited patiently, spending plenty of nights in the library with Sirius sitting across from him, wondering if it might happen then. If their knees would brush and he would feel the air change, or maybe when Remus tried to reach for a book and Sirius had to help him, because in those early days, Sirius was the tall one.
He dreamed that maybe they would fall in love at a Quidditch game, cheering wildly as Gryffindor won the House Cup, so overwhelmed by their emotions that they hugged each other and never let go.
But it wasnโt until Remus was left stranded in the rain one afternoon in Hogsmeade, huddled together under a short overhang waiting for the sudden deluge to slow so they could run back to the castle, did he finally feel that bolt of lightning electrifying his veins.
โIt was literally sunny five minutes ago,โ Sirius frowned, wiping off the spots of water from his leather jacket. The thrill of finally having his very own jacket hadnโt quite worn off yet, even though the leather was already a bit stained and still smelled like the thrift shop.
โI told you I hear thunder earlier,โ Remus said, rolling his eyes. Leave it to the rain to ruin his perfect day alone with Sirius, James having run off earlier to chase after Lily.
โAre you cold?โ Sirius asked, glancing at the swath of goosebumps rising on Remusโ skin.

Sirius Black is Reputation 100 %. This album just radiates his badass and confident energy.
James Potter is Lover. This album radiates positive energy, good vibes and just makes you want to smile and dance. It fits his bubbly personality.
Remus Lupin is Folklore. No questions asked. august and invisible string are literally about him and Sirius. He would also absorb the cottagecore/dark academia aesthetic of this album.
Marlene McKinnon is Fearless. That was an easy one bc sheโs literally this strong, fearless character and her and Dorcas deserved a love story moment.
Lily Evans/Potter is 1989. She would love this album and bop to Shake it Off in the common room. New Romantics also gives off major Jily vibes.
