sirius and remus are both unbearable perfectionists. i know this in my heart and soul. sirius is "i have to be perfect because otherwise i'll get in trouble" and remus is "i have to be perfect because i need to prove this isn't a mistake"

would love an au where Orion dies pre Sirius being disowned, so Sirius ends up like being like. 16 and Lord Black, and suddenly, any plans he might have been making are thrown out the window.

star wars & marauder stuff:

Sirius not knowing that Luke and Leia were RELATED.

Remus sits him down to rewatch Star Wars (i am a sci-fi Lily truther. and Hope loved Star Trek. she wrote spirk fanfiction.) and they get to episode 6 and Sirius watches Jaw Dropped.

(Lily also never knew that Luke and Leia were siblings. which. i think she would have been a Luke/Leia truther. smart, rich, witty girl falls for a farm boy who has a sword? she ate it up.)

Sirius was a Han/Leia truther (him&remus core lbr). Remus wanted to make out with Han. And Lando. And Leia. And Luke. Remus is bisexual as hell.

Peter was an OG fandom Nerd and wrote a epic fanfiction that predicted a Vader Redemption, and technically the sibling twist, except Han and Luke were the siblings. 70k+ words.

James did not understand this genre of films but he saw the movies so many times that he could recite them word for word.

another thing is that i think it'd be funny if in a Regulus lives au he just full on kidnaps Barty. like? his only living friend? dying? uh no thanks :) Regulus is temporarily cutting him off from magic until he helps him hunt down the rest of the horcruxs and then giving him a cottage and pseudonym to publish under after the war is over

[expecto-serotonin]

personally i love a Regulus lives au where he's still an asshole. he got over the bigot stuff but by merlin he is mentally torturing Sirius

James: Harry has to call you Moony because Remus is a mouthful–

Sirius: More than a mouthful–

Lily, at the exact same time: Only a mouthful, huh?

Sirius:

Lily:

Peter:

Remus:

James: Am I the only person who hasn't shagged Remus, yet?

[expecto-serotonin]

[expecto-serotonin]

Marauders Era Halloween Costumes, because why not;

Remus Lupin; He wears a sweater that says "I'm Not A Werewolf". Nobody but him thinks it's funny.

Lily Evans Potter; She definitely goes all put for something spooky. Like, a Zombie but it's actually good.

James Potter; He's a bit confused about the whole dressing up thing. He usually goes as a deer, but one notable year he dresses up as Lily.

Sirius Black; Also confused about dressing up. Jokingly says he'll go as Little Red Riding Hood, until he find out he can dress up as David Bowie.

Peter Pettigrew; Pirate. He's had the same costume for years. Nobody but him thinks it fun.

BONUS;

Regulus Black; "Who needs a costume when you spend your life dressed up as someone you're not?"

Severus Snape; He doesn't dress up, but everyone compliments him on either his Vampire or Bat costume.

the Rocky Horror Picture Show saved Regulus Black’s life 

[expecto-serotonin]

He hated James Potter with passion for stealing Sirius' from him; but deep down he knew the Potters were the best thing that ever happened to Sirius.

Regulus Black walks to his death with his head held high. The fake locket is trying to burn a hole in his pocket. The deep red of the stolen sweater against his skin makes it clear that he's pale to an unhealthy extent.

Regulus Black wrote letter after letter after letter before he walks to his death. Words had escaped him, he could speak five languages and none of them were right. He couldn't recognize his own hand writing when he was finished, it looked how desperation sounds. He writes it again.

Sirius has pages of words that will never reach him. Pages of nothing and pages of everything. All Regulus wanted was to make Sirius proud, proud to be his brother. There was a story, or maybe not, about dying vengeful.

He's not sure why, but in a moment of weakness he writes a letter--a sentence, really. He sends it off with the pages for his brother.

James Potter,

Thank you for keeping him safe.
