On Hiatus/extended leave basically! I have been for a while but I figured I'd update this after opening Tumblr up again after agessss.
--
Hallo, hallo!! I'm Nova, a pleasure to see you on my blog!! <33 I'm a Wolfstar addict, Belladora ship captain, Marylily/Dorlene admirer, Ao3 author, Dnd player and furry digital artist. I also post the occasional drabble here on tumblr when I get hit with inspiration but can't make the fic long enough (for me) to post on ao3.
My dm's are always open if you want to chat!! I mean about anything, really. Just chatting, questions about anything, etc etc. I love talking to people, but I'm real bad at reaching out first. My anons are also open if you want to send me anything <33 (If you send hate, I will simply use it as an exercise into descriptive writing of ways to say 'fuck you', but go off I guess.)
Anyway, here's my fics for those curious!
Ongoing Fics
They Never Expect the Squibs (TNES)
Planned to be a long fic, 75k+ at least. squib!trans!Regulus and genderqueer!Sirius are the main POV's, and there's lots of queer stuff planned. Possible violence, but no explicit smut planned. Mentions of past trauma. Updates every other Friday (bar any life issues).
Sirius only remembers glimpses of a sister he once used to have when he was tiny before she vanished without a word.
Regulus first remembers the dingy orphanage, which he was rescued from by a wonderful, accepting couple that raised him as their own.
Imagine their surprise when the two meet years later, in the middle of a raging war that was getting quite out of hand. They look almost identical, they could almost be twins. How are they supposed to handle a surprise sibling reunion when the world is crumbling around them?
And how are these muggles managing to survive Death Eater attacks, and even win the fights while they're at it?
Freak Like Me (FLM)
Also planned to be a long fic, 50k+ words at least. trans!Sirius as the main POV, with bassist!Remus and werewolf!Regulus as major focuses. Also very queer. Wolfstar and Jegulus + other pairs. Explicit smut planned, as well as mentions of past trauma, addiction, etc. Updates alternating Fridays with TNES and CitF.
They're still young, barely in their twenties, and they want to have fun in a world that's a bit shite. When Marlene drags the group to an underground, magical concert, they don't know what they're getting themselves into.
Music, werewolves, and rebellion flood Sirius's life all in the course of one night. A bassist with golden-amber eyes and tawny curls, a familiar grey eyed drummer he hasn't seen in years, and a singer with the most obnoxiously pink hair he's ever seen. What could this band possibly bring into his life that wouldn't be worth the way the bassist makes his stomach flip and breath hitch?
Corruption is the flesh that covers every bone. (CitF)
Definitely look at the tags before reading this one. James's POV with the occasional POV from Sirius. A dark!Marauders fic that will be filled heavily with dark themes with this such as explicit violence. Rosekillerstarchaser and Wolfstar pairings with other background pairs. Also baby Harry and Teddy (adopted, not with Tonks)!!
In the midst of a war, with a baby on his hip and best friends at his side, James Potter begins uncovering a whole treasure trove of things he never could have imagined. Lies, deceit, slander, and more. Things about himself and Sirius and Peter that they should have realized with the kinds of pranks they pulled, and things about Lily that disgust him.
Perhaps they really are more suited for the Dark side.
Kind-Of-Sort-Of-Dad-Uncles
MixedUpWritersFest collab with @therealrjlupin!! Wrong number texting fic. PoV swaps between Sirius and Remus.
Remus is more than excited for his kind-of-sort-of-son-nephew to be born and attempts to text Peter the exciting news! Except, it isn't Peter that he texts, it's some stranger who he continues to text because, well, they're quite interest, if a bit egotistical.
Sirius winds up getting an unsolicited “in active labour” text one evening from a random number. They find it quite amusing and decide to keep texting this curious stranger that has gotten them so invested in this child they don't even know! Perhaps taking a gift to them in the hospital would be nice if they're going to be updated more.
Oneshots/others below the cut
Oneshots
Beggin'
5.8k words. NSFW Belladora (Bellatrix/Pandora) fluff and smut. The first half is smut free, with a bit of cute toddler Luna before the smut begins~
Bellatrix has just finished 'taking care of' a group of Order members with Fenrir and has found some distressing news. She returns home to her partner Pandora and daughter Luna later that evening, and Pandora soon helps her to stop thinking about it for a while.
Hell's Welcoming
12.9k words. NSFW Priest!Remus just got dropped into hell and is welcomed by Devil!Sirius in a way that surprises both of them ;)
Beginning of a series of stand alone one shots that build on each other
Remus has spent the last forty-some odd years as a wonderful priest, following his vows to the letter and working to help to make the world a better place. He believed he would walk through the pearly gates of Heaven when he finally met his end... Except that's not at all what happens. Rather, he wakes up and soon finds he's been dropped down to Hell without a second glance.
Sirius has been doing their job as the Ruler of Hell extremely well for centuries. So they'd seen plenty of souls that would theoretically go to Heaven be dropped down to Hell simply because 'God' doesn't want them. None have ever been like the priest that landed on his desk one evening just after his death, though.
Remus and Sirius come to realize this arrangement is perfectly alright with them, however.
Special Nights
9.8k words. NSFW trans!Sirius ends up in a weird mutual masturbation situation on accident with James and Remus... It works out very well in the end
Remus came back for sixth year hot and of course Sirius noticed it. He managed to get through the first week just fine, he distracted himself well enough to not indulge in fantasizing too much. Until they go to bed early, high off adrenaline from a good day of pranking and he just wants to sleep, but he also keeps imagining Remus.
Then he hears a moan from somewhere else in the room. From James's bed, in fact.
But that's just the beginning for our delightful Sirius.
Gender Adventure
3.6k words. trans!James helps gn!Sirius come to terms with who they really are and protects them when needed. Second part will come out... eventually :D
When Dorcas comes out as nonbinary in the beginning of fourth year, it kick starts Sirius's thoughts into his own gender identity. With the help of best mate James and his wonderful parents, as well as wonderfully accepting friends, Sirius starts the journey- or adventure, as one may call it- into figuring out what it all leads to.
Coffee and Tea
888 words. Real simple Harry and Draco bump into each other at a coffee shop.
Harry's there to just get his morning tea, like he does most days. He isn't, however, expecting to hear the one voice he'd never thought he'd hear again. After all, who would have expected to find Malfoy in a muggle cafe of all places?
A Very Sassy Potter
748 words. Possibility of more in the future. Harry is a sassy Slytherin and he talks back to Snape in the very first potions class of first year.
Harry has grown up not taking any shit, so when Snape comes at him trying to make him look stupid, Harry shows him he's far from it.
Love of a Mother
3k words. Molly Weasley focused, multiple pairings mentioned. Tells a story of how Molly protects all the kids she can through the war~
When Molly Weasley sees Vernon Dursley and how he treats Harry, she decides to take Harry instead. She gives him a home and family, and against Dumbledore's wishes, doesn't let him go back to a place such as the Dursleys.
When Narcissa comes to Molly with a request, she takes Draco in with open arms. She gives him the kind of love Narcissa was never able to while around Lucius.
Molly loves her children, she just wants them to be happy.
Yule Ball Confessions
3.7k words. Drarry fic with vague Pansmione. Pansy and Hermione are fed up and make the boys dance at the Yule ball together.
Harry takes Hermione to the Yule Ball, but he doesn't quite realize that she's up to something. In what seems to be a coordinated plan with Pansy Parkinson herself, Hermione manages to somehow convince Draco bloody Malfoy to 'teach' Harry to dance... Which somehow leads to something highly unexpected?
On hold/Being rewritten
Another Black Sheep
79k+ words. 5 chapters so far. Currently being rewritten very slowly to be more cohesive and shite. trans!OC + twins focused. It follows their time in school and beyond during the war. Regulus lives, as do Sirius, Remus, etc. This was the first fic I wrote after coming back from a long ass hiatus and jumping from Wattpad to Ao3.
Fox Black has always been a bit strange. Ever since he was little he stood out. Auburn hair, always playing in the mud, and quite loudly wondering why daddy was always so mean about blood status. Of course, he was also once known as Vulpecula Bellatrix Malfoy, eldest child and sole daughter of Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy.
But he's always been trouble for the Malfoys, and that doesn't stop when he gets to Hogwarts. Instead, it gets worse, as on the very first train ride to Hogwarts, Fox meets a pair that became the most unlikeliest friends for a Malfoy: Fred and George Weasley.

I didn't want to make the message ace-specific because I wanted to make a point of how all of the above include aspec people, but I tried to use an ace colour palette for the background :) I also think the message applies especially (even if not exclusively) to the ace community!
Image 1: (in white text, on a background of rainbow watercolors) Gatekeeping hurts queer people who are questioning.
Image 2: (in white text, on a background of rainbow paint strokes) Gatekeeping hurts more queer people than it protects.
Image 3: (in white text, on a background of pastel watercolors) How about you let people question their gender and sexuality in peace.
Image 4: (in white text, on a photo of the rainbow pride flag flying in a blue sky) People don’t owe you a chronicle of their life experiences and feelings for you to decide whether they belong in their own community.
Image 5: (in white text, on a marbled pink background) I don’t know how to tell you this, but you are not the queer police.
Image 6: (in white text, on a background of multicolored textile) Stop siding with our oppressors.
Image 7: (in white text, on a photo of pieces of chalk arranged in a rainbow on asphalt) Not every queer person’s experiences need to be like yours.
Image 8: (in white text, on a background of shiny, rainbow chunks of metal (?)) Mind your own damn business.
Image 9: (in white text, on a mottled black & rainbow background) Let people change labels.
Image 10: (in white text, on a photo of a full moon in a dark sky) There’s no such thing as not being queer enough.
Image 11: (in white text, on a background of paint strokes in pink, white, magenta, purple and dark blue, the colors of the genderfluid pride flag) Vocabulary is designed to be constantly reinvented as human societies evolve, and labels aren’t the exception.
Image 12: (in white text, on a background of pink, purple, and turquoise) Gatekeeping is a product of privilege.
Here's one more addition per @secretlycrazyhummingbird's suggestion:
[Image description: (in white text, over a black background with trees decorated with multi-colored lights) Queer people don't have to make themselves palatable to deserve respect. End ID]
And another one, per @mixed-bag-of-tricks's suggestion!
[Image description: (in white text, over a wooden background with curved boards the colours of the rainbow) It's okay to use a label even if it doesn't fit perfectly. End ID]
...you know what, I think the message of this post really boils down to this:
[ID: (in white text, over a black background with striking rainbow lights) gatekeepers are nothing but bullies. End ID]
And I'm really glad this post has helped so many people feel a bit less alone in their struggles. Bullies have made a LOT of damage in this community—have made so many of us feel like impostors, like trenders, like maybe we were making up the things we were feeling—and it makes me so happy we're all pushing back against their hateful, narrow-minded, queerphobic rhetoric.
Sirius in the morning after they shared beds for the first time: *unbrushed and greasy hair*
Sirius: *oh fucking no*
Sirius: *tries to escape from remus' arms*
Remus: you really thougt that i think that your hair looks like from shampoo commercial all day? come back to bed
Sirius: *comes back to THEIR bed with a huge smile*
Reasons not to have your dog offleash at a public park:
1) roads (this one is self-explanatory)
2) it makes the park inaccessible to like, entire swathes of the population. If you have experience with police dogs or guard dogs in your neighborhood, or you're a new immigrant from somewhere with a large population of feral dogs, it sucks ass going to the park and having someone's massive lab bound up to you!
3) If, for example, you are in a protected wetland area plastered with friendly signs asking you to please leash your dog to avoid causing an ecological impact, having your dog offleash might cause an ecological impact! "Oh no, my dog is well-behaved, they would never bother the wildlife" wrong! your dog is in the pond trying to eat the endangered Blandings' turtles!
4) Non-zero chance of a jokerified park guide (me) just clipping your dog to a leash and stealing them
5) “Oh but my dog is friendly!” If your unleashed “friendly” dog runs up to my leashed UNFRIENDLY dog, and my dog bites yours, guess who’s getting the blame despite doing everything right?
Seriously, as a reactive dog owner it 1. Makes me really scared for the safety of all dogs involved 2. Is just annoying. My dog is triggered by your dog running up to her, which is needlessly stressful in an area where it’s illegal to have your dog off leash. The icing on top is that, when she starts barking and growling, people often go “Control your dog” - which I am, as she’s leashed and physically cannot harm your dog. Your unleashed dog, however, is by definition not under control.
I am once again thinking about the marauders in their uniform shorts only with the new addition of this going on through third year (ty fantastic anon)
so what we’ve got is fourteen year old sirius trying so hard to make this work for him but it is simply not a good look. remus has had like three growth spurts since christmas and his uniform is on the verge of becoming indecent. meanwhile james is just out here living his best life and bemoaning the fact that they’ll have to wear trousers next term.
So... I just got stuck in a little daydream loop about the marauders in shorts and Remus' tiny ones and my mind went:
Remus doesn't like to wear underwear. Nope, not even a white y-front.
One day he's walking along in front of Sirius and sees a Knut on the floor so bends to pick it up.
*Pop!*
Sirius also sees a knut...
(I have no idea if this has been said before, apologies if it's already been thought of)
remus you fucking freak way to flirt with danger
...unless you knew what you were doing...
either way, this has not been thought of yet and I think this works very nicely with scrungly crunchy granola remus who vaguely smells because he wears natural deodorant
JUST LIKE TO EMPHASIZE: THIS IS FOR SUMMONING A FIC WRITER. FURTHER, MORE SUBSTANTIAL SACRIFICES MIGHT BE REQUIRED IF YOU’D LIKE TO ACTUALLY CONJURE THE FIC.
Oh yeah while we are talking about my boyfriend who i love and adore, here are the posts i made about him before we even started dating :’D the whole thing takes place within the span of a year or two
genuinely fucked up that if i want to interact with someone online i have to say words and have a conversation instead of just mashing my face against them like a cat
So on the one hand, omega Remus being outnumbered in a house full of alphas is VERY funny. On the other hand, Harry and Teddy both presenting as omega and SIRIUS being the outnumbered one is also very funny. Much to think about, much to think about ;)
Toooo much to think about because, oh my goodness, the family dynamics in the A/B/O world must be so fucking weird. Like, yeah, everyone pulls the padge, but to have your parents actually need to buy you accessories for it?? I hate it here.
That said, I do love the idea of Teddy being an Omega….
“Sirius, I’m going to tell you something, and before you answer me, I need you to listen to everything I have to say.”
Sirius put his coffee down on the breakfast bar and looked over the top of his glasses at his husband, who’d just shuffled into the kitchen after being on the phone in the bedroom with the door shut for the past 45 minutes. He was biting his cuticles, something he hadn’t seen Remus do since Teddy was an infant and wouldn’t sleep for more than 45 minutes at a time.
“OK,” Sirius said slowly.
“And I want you to remember that you’re not a slave to biology. You’re a calm, collected, rational adult who can use his brain to think and reason. Right?”
“Yes,” Sirius agreed, sitting back and folding his arms over his chest.
“And we love our son, who is 20 years old and perfectly capable of making his own decisions.”
“Whatever it is, Moony, just spit it out,” Sirius said, starting to get nervous now, and just a tad annoyed.
“Alright,” Remus said and plastered a bright, overly excited smile on his face. “So I actually have great news. Teddy’s coming home this weekend!”
“Oh! Great!”
And it was great. They hadn’t seen Teddy in months. Not since he left for Romania to work at a dragon sanctuary studying the mating habits of Hungarian Horntails.
“But…” Remus continued.
“But?”
“He’s bringing a friend.”
“A friend,” Sirius repeated.
“A good friend. A very, good, close, loyal, devoted friend.”
“Devoted?” Sirius asked, his voice slipping deep into his chest more than he meant it to. He cleared his throat theatrically and raised his next words to an unnaturally high pitch. “Sorry. Allergies.”
But Remus wasn’t buying it. They both knew Sirius’s only allergy was to gym bro Alphas sniffing around their sweet, innocent Omega baby.
And cats. But that was neither here nor there.
Remus narrowed his eyes at him.
“May I continue?” Remus asked. "Remembering our aforementioned agreement?"
“Of course.”
“Right, yes. So. His friend.”
“Who is devoted.”
“Yes. Extremely devoted."
“How devoted are we talking?”
“Hopelessly! Like Sandy from Grease. Or like you! It’s a little pathetic, really.”
Sirius took a deep, calming breath. They knew this day would come. And now it was here. And it was OK.
“What’s his name?” Sirius asked. Sirius was, indeed, a calm and rational man.
“I have to say, Sirius, you’re handling this amazingly well. I knew you would. You’re such a good dad,” Remus said. He crossed the kitchen and tucked himself into Sirius’s side, wrapping his arms around his waist and pressing his lips to the crook of his neck. Sirius’s eyes slid shut as Remus ran soft, slow kisses across his skin, behind his ear.
“The best dad ever,” Remus whispered, dragging his fingers up the back of Sirius’s neck and into his hair. “The best husband. Just…the best.”
Sirius sighed at the feeling of Remus’s soft voice and sweet kisses, at his summery, sugared strawberry scent, at his long fingers gently stroking his hair, at his lovely body pressed against him. He wrapped his arms around Remus’s waist and felt himself slipping, slipping…
But wait.
“Remus?” Sirius said, pushing through his love-drunk haze even as Remus grazed his teeth across Sirius’s neck. “What’s his name?”
“Hmm?”
“What is Teddy’s very, good, close, loyal, devoted friend’s name?”
“Well, funny you should ask.”
“Moony…”
“You know him well!”
“Moony?”
“Well, not that well, you know he exists, but…”
“Moony!”
“And his family is wonderful. Better than wonderful! Top tier!”
“Remus! Who is it?”
“It’s Charlie Weasley.”
“WHAT?” Sirius cried. He opened his mouth to say more, but he could feel the stress radiating off Remus now, turning his sweet strawberry scent into something sour.
“Yes!” Remus said, nodding solemnly. “I know! It’s Charlie Weasley. It’s Charlie! Weasley! A giant man who is old enough to be Teddy's father, and who is coming here this weekend to ask us—but mostly you—if he can mate our baby.”
A strange look crossed Remus’s face, and he stared off into the distance, hazy eyed, as his eyebrows slowly knitted together. His fingers on Sirius’s scalp clenched into fists, yanking his hair slowly by the roots.
And not in a sexy way. In a scary way.
“Our baby…” Remus repeated slowly. “Our only baby! Charlie Motherfucking Weasley wants to put his teeth on our baby’s neck and…WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING DOWN? YOU NEED TO GO KILL HIM! NOW! ARE YOU AN ALPHA OR NOT?”
