A Sirius Crush On Moony

Hannah/31/England I adore Bartylus, I pretty much invented Barty x Antonin (Bantonin), I also really ship Wolfstar. I ran a blog called Maraudertexts but it was sadly deactivated by tumblr. This is a sideblog so I can’t comment from this blog. If I do comment it’ll be from my Marvel blog: starkerobsession

Hi lovely followers!

I just want to say this blog isn’t just for quotes and such, you can send me headcanons and prompts and asks and whatever you want, I’d love to interact with you all some more 💕

[inthetags]

Reblog and put in the tags a pairing you like despite the characters never interacting. (Not counting crossover ships, I mean characters who plausibly could have crossed paths at some point but never did.)

I FINALLY WROTE A FIC

My first HP fic since 2018. I know. Can you believe it?

Weirdly enough, I randomly got inspiration for my old OTP - Blackcest (of the Sirius/Reg) variety. So I just went with it.

So if anyone's interested, my fic is here:

The Other Type Of Love

(Don't read if you're not into Blackcest obvs)

Hi!! I have gone down a very deep rabbit hole of pre 2020 jegulus and have looked through So Many Blogs today, which is how I also ended on your blog (youve been shipping bartylus since 2013?????) And i noticed that a lot of the jegulus shippers that were around in 2016 on tumblr all somehow disappeared around 2020 which seems a tragedy and vrry much a mystery to me. What happened back then?? Anyway. Here is an actual question. What was it like for you? Having shipped super rare rarepairs (bartylus, jegulus) only for then half the marauders fandom joining in and now there is So Much art and fics about them. Did you actually notice it or was it gradual enough that you didnt really pick up on it until it was too late? Do you miss the times when it was just you and your 5 friends? Are you upset with how characterisations have changed? Have characterisations actually changed a lot?

Anyway, please yap away if you want, i am SO curious about it all! Sending you a lovely time of day!!

Sorry for the late response, I don’t log onto this blog too often these days.

Yeah it’s crazy actually. I personally wasn’t a big Jegulus shipper but my friend loved them so I used to write Jegulus because of my friend. But Bartylus was (and still is) my HP OTP. I was probably one of the first people to even think of Bartylus as a couple 😂 I remember when I first started writing them in 2013 there were like NO fics. And yeah it sucked.

I’ve kind of fallen away from the HP fandom. I still love the Marauders era and everything but I just don’t really engage in the fandom side of things anymore. It’s got to the point that my own characterisations of minor characters like Regulus and Barty and others has become so ingrained in my head that I find it really difficult to enjoy fics because they don’t have the characterisations I have in my head.

I used to have a super interactive blog (Maraudertexts) where I posted as the characters and people could ask them questions and it was pretty popular. Bartylus and Jegulus were the main pairings on that blog so idk if that helped in some way with the exposure to those ships? I had a lot of people say to me that they’d never even heard of the ships before my blog.

But I still follow a lot of HP blogs and it’s so crazy to me now that I see these ships have become popular. Especially Jegulus. Wasn’t it like #4 of the most written ships on AO3?!? Like WHAT. Back when I was creating HP content I would never have believed it haha

As for all the shippers disappearing, idk. Personally I got into a new fandom and that kinda took over my life. I know my friends who were into HP at the time also moved onto new fandoms.

Thanks so much for the ask 🥰

I'm all for the reunion aus where Reg and Sirius reconnect as adults, work through their issues, learn to live with each other again, have a super tense, unstable relationship and its complicated and angsty, there's hurt and blame on both sides, and it's a process...

But also lets consider the realistic sibling approach of lmao how fucking awkward that you ran away at 16 and then we just pretended not to know each other for however many years, we were so fucking weird for that... before immediately picking up where they left off.

Everyone thinks they need therapy because they use their brief estrangement as leverage in petty arguments let me choose the radio station because you abandoned me when I was 14 / you watched me run away and said nothing I could have been dead in a ditch for all you cared so you're the designated driver tonight but they're fucking fiiiine they always knew it was never actually about each other, and maybe they get a little deep about it if they're drunk from time to time, but it's generally f i n e

I just love resilient sibling dynamics??

The black brothers

[lexithwrites]

barty carrying regulus into his flat in his arms, reg is wrapped up in his hoodie and completely passed out, and he just gently puts him on the bed and just watches him for a while. its the most peaceful barty has ever felt in his whole life, watching regulus curl up and nuzzle into his clothes

[angelofsaturday]

reading fanfiction about marauders made me realise how lonely I am and how much I would like to have a friend group

[limetimo]

What is Marauders fanfiction but the expression of yearning for a tight-knit group of friends closer than blood family could ever be?

Dear Diary,

Today I hung out with Potter for a little bit!

By “hung out”, I mean I was sitting alone because Barty was in class and I was just enjoying my own company and Potter must have seen me alone and thought I could use his company and sat with me for a while.

It was really sweet, actually!  There was no teasing or animosity about the Quidditch match a few weeks ago, which I was grateful for.  It was going really well and I was having so much fun until Sirius randomly appeared and ruined it with:

“Ew, why are you hanging out with my BROTHER?”

And then Potter got up and walked off, not even saying goodbye.

Well it was nice while it lasted…

Dear Diary,

I’m getting a little bit worried because lately I’ve been seeing Sirius and Remus acting like a couple in public – kissing, touching etc.

I don’t have a problem with that, but if Mother and Father find out they will go CRAZY.  I just don’t want Sirius to get into trouble.  I don’t want him to get disowned.  I don’t want him to leave me at that place all alone.  He’s the only brother I’ll ever have and if he goes, I’ll be miserable and I’ll have to deal with Mother and Father on my own.  Plus, all the pressure will come down on ME to marry and produce a worthy heir.

Ugh, it’s not fair to be worrying about this stuff at the age of FOURTEEN.

I wish I could live someone else’s life.  A life with a normal family.  I drew the short straw.

Dear Diary,

Today we learnt Colloportus in Charms.  That is the locking charm.  I could definitely use that one in the future for locking my bedroom door and more importantly locking my diary (you) so that Sirius doesn’t get into it. Not that I’m legally allowed to do that till I’m of age, and by that point Sirius won’t live with me.  So, pointless.

Barty messed up, as usual.  His locking charm became more of an explosion and he is now in the hospital wing.  He also put Alecto in the hospital wing with his explosion, so I’m grateful to him.  I’m not a fan of violence, but when it’s against Alecto it’s perfectly okay.

I visited Barty earlier with sweets and he was really happy to see me.  He was a little bit high on pain medication and said a few things I don’t think he’d say if he wasn’t on pain medication.  Things like:

“I wish you were my boyfriend”

“You have the best face”

“Cuddle me”

I pretended like I didn’t hear him, and he fell asleep soon afterwards so hopefully he won’t remember that.

Dear Diary,

Sorry I left you with such miserable news last week.  I didn’t feel like telling you that we lost because of me.  My stupid feelings for stupid Potter.

Yes, I was staring at Potter scoring a goal when the Gryffindor seeker caught the snitch.

I have no other excuse.  I was preoccupied. Ugh, when did I become this sort of idiotic lovesick fool? Barty says it’s not my fault but he’s just being nice.  He thinks I can do no wrong.  He’d be correct in most cases, but in this case I really did wrong.

So Gryffindor wins the Quidditch cup this year.  Thanks to me. Well done, Regulus.

Dear Diary,

Slytherin lost.

Wednesday 14th April 1976

Dear Diary,

Tomorrow is the day.  The day I have been anticipating all year.  The day Slytherin goes up against Gryffindor in Quidditch.  More importantly, the day I face Potter.

Barty has been giving me pep talks and his main bit of advice was to “not focus on Potter, he might be hot but we better not lose because of that”.  And honestly, he’s right.  Potter is a fine specimen of man, but I won’t let that stop me from playing to my full potential.  I’ll make Potter stare at ME.  I’LL be the hot one.

So wish me luck for tomorrow, it’s going to be the match of a lifetime!

Dear Diary,

What did I say in my last entry?  That I didn’t think Barty’s relationship would last…

Well, it ended.  They were together for A DAY!

He’s crying right now so I’m going to get him some comfort food from the kitchens and help him through his “heartbreak”.

I’m such a good friend.

Dear Diary,

Barty has got another girlfriend.  This time she’s a fifth year Slytherin.  Her name is Maya.  She’s pretty but bears no resemblance to me so I have no idea if she’s just a distraction from me…

You’d think he’d go for people who look similar to me if I’m his type?  Anyway I don’t think this relationship will last more than a few days because she’s already acting entitled and telling him he has to keep their relationship a secret like she’s embarrassed to be with him.  Barty, as usual, is infatuated.  He thinks she’s the best thing in the entire world.  I feel like reminding him that he’s felt that way about every single crush he’s had and they’ve all lasted less than a week and then he forgets about them.

Is it weird I feel kind of flattered that I’m the only person he’s had a crush on that’s lasted through all of this?

Dear Diary,

Today Professor Slughorn had a chat with all of the fourth year Slytherins about our OWLs next year, informing us that we really needed to buckle down and start thinking seriously about our futures.  I was annoyed because he was acting like all of us were imbeciles who mess around in class and don’t take school seriously.

I take school every seriously, thank you very much.  

It isn’t my fault that my peers are stupid and have no care for their futures.  I wish I wouldn’t get banded with the rest of them and I wish I’d get appreciated for all of my hard work.

Ugh.
