Who is more affectionate?  ::  alastor initiates it, though augustus gives just as much as he gets. honestly, I think they’ve both been starved of affection that now that they have it with one another, they can’t get enough? until they get in public, of course. homosexuality is illegal in britain in the 70s, guys. I can’t stress this enough. and given how behind in the times the wizarding world is for a LOT of things, I doubt they were more open to homosexuality than the muggle world. plus there’s the appearances they have to maintain. they’re far too professional for blatant pda. so yeah, when they’re in public it’s more on the down low. aka quick shags in the broom closet/ stolen kisses in the elevator.Who angers the easiest?  ::  alastor. augustus’ whole character is centered around the fact that he’s so in control of himself, manipulating people by changing his facade.  by twisting words around and monopolizing information. augustus HAS to be in control, which is why this relationship scares him so much because he CAN’T control how he feels about alastor. but he’s still more reserved than alastor.Who is the one too drunk to drive home?  ::  pffft. augustus. we had a whole thread where they had a drinking contest. and augustus lost. spectacularly. so yeah, alastor would just knock back those drinks like they’re water and by the time augustus’ completely blackout drunk he’d just be sober enough he’d sling him over his shoulder and apparate them out of there. Who’s the the one bandaging the other after a fight?  ::  augustus. the perk of augustus’ line of work is that he’s generally not in the line of fire. until he’s in death eater costume. and even then he’s so cautious that he rarely gets harmed severely. alastor’s an auror, and one of the most active members of the order. it’s an odd day when he doesn’t come home needing to be patched up.Who is the one to pull the other to try new things? Like the weird restaurant down the street or skydiving.  ::  alastor in terms of food and places, really. he’s always trying to “educate” augustus on proper food rather than the ridiculously bland and subpar british equivalent. especially dim sum. dim sum is his life not really but really. augustus always has him trying strange new things he gets from his department. the stuff he can technically share without being killed. it’s fun toeing that line, tbh. alastor makes augustus try muggle things, though. Who is the driving/riding shotgun?  ::  alastor drives. because he is james bond and no one can tell him otherwise. augustus is totally chill with being his bond girl, so long as he’s the ONLY bond girl.Who has the weirder taste in music?  ::  alastor, probably. comes with loving muggle rock, wizard music, irish pub songs, and old irish folk songs.Who tears up during Titanic movies?  :: neither of them. augustus points out the illogicality of them all and alastor just makes fun of the entire plot. then he throws popcorn at the screen, which turns into throwing popcorn at augustus. and then it’s a popcorn fight. which somehow turns into intense makeouts with the movie as background noise.

        it’s late when he finally deigns to look up from his eyes. the lights outside his office are out, the bullpen where everyone works completely black. automatically, he reaches up to rub at his eyes, pinch the bridge of his nose against the rising headache. so much paperwork. he’s barely made a dent in it all. but he can feel the lulling tug of exhaustion on his limbs. a few months ago he would have just worked until he passed out. would have spent the night in this chair, working himself until he fell into exhausted, fitful sleep. but now... now he has something to come home to. even if he cannot announce such new publicly. he rubs at his eyes once more before pushing himself up, grabbing his coat. he’s ready to head home now. the lights are still on when he gets to the flat. before this would have concerned him: few know about his flat in dublin, and fewer still could have made it through the wards. but he’s been coming home to something like this for awhile now, and while it’s not normal exactly, he’s come to accept relish that he can come here to find someone waiting for him. he leans on the doorway to the living room, smiling at the sight he finds. 

          ❛   ya ‘ave a bit    o’ ink. right thare on yer nose.                            didja just get back as well, then? I swear,                            yer as much o’ a workaholic as I am.      ❜

who's your daddy || augustus & fabian & gus

          Azkaban had changed him, but even after almost two decades apart Fabian still recognised the ghost of Augustus Rookwood lurking behind the dead, devastated eyes. 

          To think that he had once called him a friend.

         “Gus,” Fabian said, voice low but intense. “Go back to your mother. Look after the others. I'll take this one alone.”

          He had slipped into the ‘stern father’ tone he so often employed with Phoebe, but rarely had to employ with his eldest son. Unfortunately, it also was even less effective with Gus than it was with his sister. The boy was stubborn – he got that from his mother – and if he realised who the approaching man was, there would be no sending him away.

          He could only hope that, for once in his damn life, Gus listened to his father's orders.

Character solidifying! meme: Not accepting

39. What do they like to ridicule? What do they find stupid?

Snobs. Pureblood or not, anyone who thinks they’re full of it is open to ridicule in Alastor’s eyes. And stupidity. Ignorance is okay, so long as it’s due to a lack of education, but if it’s intentional, if someone chooses to not acknowledge something simply because they don’t like it, he loathes that. And he will be cruel in his joking.

Pub Chats ||

coloursofaugust     She was working late again, if only because she didn't want to go home, to her empty flat where her on-again-off again boyfriend would not be home, he'd be on another mission, gone for more months at a time, and she'd be left alone. So, the pub was the place; at least here she felt like she was doing something good, something worth while. She was helping.     So, she was working late, working as usual, noting the customers that came in, memorizing faces, any names she heard. Anything she could. It was a slow night, information wise.        "What can I get for you tonight, love?" she asked to the man who came in; she recognized him. He came in often enough, normally in a group of four or five, quiet men, the lot of them. Him less so though.

        "On your own tonight?"
