hm so idk if it’s something you’re okay with writing, (if it’s not you can ignore this!) but could you possibly write something with drunk Remus/coops? Like at a party or something idk HAHAH
Um, YES? So it's a bit late but Happy Birthday to the One and Only Remus John Lupin!
Me? Write something short? What? That's a new one. Short and sweet.
CW: alc.
"Hey," Sirius said, coming up behind Remus and wrapping his arms around the waist of his boyfriend, who was swaying a bit to the music. "You good, Mon Loup?"
Remus groaned. "Don't call me that, not when I don't have the energy to do anything about it." He smirked, leaning back into Sirius' hold, steadying him. "This was perfect."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Thank you, baby." He turned his head to kiss the man behind him.
"It was Talker's idea. Well, mostly."
"I knew I liked him. That's why he's my best friend."
"What am I, chopped liver? I helped plan the birthday party too! And hosted it. Which means I'll have to do the clean up tomorrow and-" Sirius teased, cutting himself off and tightening his hold on Remus.
"He's m' bes' friend, but you're m' boyfriend. And I love you." He slurred out, though Sirius could tell it was more caused by sleepiness than the alcohol.
"Ready for bed?"
"Yes. I'm tipsy enough to be tired and I want cuddles."
"Shall I tell everyone to head out?"
"Nah, let 'em hang for a bit, or stay if they can't drive. It's my party and I'll turn in early if I want to." Remus stated, turning around in Sirius' arms to kiss him before grabbing his hand and tugging him towards the stairs.
They made it upstairs and Remus pulled Sirius to the bed where they collapsed in a pile of sleepy giggles and kissed lazily until Remus fell asleep half on top of Sirius' chest.
Sirius traced up and down his back and left a kiss goodnight in his curls, whispering a soft, "Happy Birthday, Re."
Thought I would just quickly refresh tumblr and now you have me just thinking about sirius reading to remus :0
Thanks to @niamhooo3 for implanting this idea in all our heads!

Sleepless Nights
Sirius felt his lip quirk inadvertent as Remus sighed loudly for a third time in a row, turning onto his side grumpily.
“Re?” He asked cautiously. “Everything okay?”
“Fine.” Remus snapped, turning onto his back before rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands. “Sorry, that came out harsher than I meant. I just can’t sleep. My brain just won’t shut off.”
Sirius nodded, not that Remus could see him in the dark. He was debating moving them both downstairs to watch a movie when he was struck with a much better idea.
“Désolé.” He grunted as he stretched over Remus for a minute, his fiancé letting out a confused squeak as Sirius’ torso covered him. Sirius groped around the nightstand for a second before moving away from Remus.
“C’mere.” He said, propping himself up ever so slightly so he was somewhere in between lying and sitting. A forty five degree angle as it were. He held out his arm and Remus shuffled over under the covers until he was tucked in tight.
“Better?” Sirius asked, pressing a kiss to Remus’ forehead as he let him settle, adjusting his top which had slid up a little and shifting his weight a couple of times until he was satisfied.
“Yeah. Much better, thanks baby.”
Sirius just bummed and flicked open the cover of Remus’ kindle, the device automatically turning on. It was perfect really - it had a lit screen, so Sirius didn’t even need to turn on a lamp, instead he could let Remus drift to sleep in the dark.
“Chapter 37,” He began, but was interrupted before he could even get any further.
“You’re reading to me?”
Remus’ voice was quiet and soft, vulnerable in the tendrils of night. Sirius lifted his free hand up a little to twine Remus’ hair around his fingers.
“Oui. Now be quiet and relax, okay?”
“Okay.” Remus whispered, resting his hand on Sirius’ chest, fingers splayed wide right over his heart. “I love you.”
“I know.” Sirius murmured, adjusting his hold on the kindle and lifting it up again. “I love you too. Now hush.”
Remus huffed, amused, but did as instructed. Sirius smiled again then looked to focus on the screen and began again.
“Chapter 37. It had seemed, at first, that the victim was correct. But with the new evidence coming to light…”
this song for coops. (characters by the amazing @lumosinlove )
i just had to write it.
Cw: swearing, injury, hospital, angst, hints at homophobia, being outed
~
Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
“Re?” Remus blinked. “You were staring,” Sirius explained. “Are you alright?”
Yes. He blinked again. “More than alright,” he responded. As he leaned in to kiss Sirius, he realized he had never been more alright than just then.
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered (Then discovered)
The rest of the world was black and white
“Mon loup!” Sirius’ voice was loud and Remus spun around. A bright flash blinded him for a second. “Oh this is a good one, i know it!” Sirius’ already accented voice, became even more French when he was enthusiastic. That fucking camera.
“Baby, I told you, don't aim that thing at me before warning me. It's a disaster.” Sirius huffed.
“This camera is my child, Re, don't insult it.” Remus snorted, “whatever, love.”
A few minutes later Sirius pushed a small stroke of paper in his face. “Re, look.” The piece of paper turned out to be a polaroid picture and Remus was on it, with a smile on his face and his lions jersey on. “This is going in my room with the other pictures.”
And what more could Remus do, but smile.
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking
Maybe he should’ve been more careful.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Because it became harder and harder. Pretending.
Pretending he was straight.
Pretending as if he was just friends with Sirius.
Pretending that he didn’t love him.
Because, oh boy, he loved him.
Little did Remus know that he hadn’t even entered the woods yet.
Looking at it now
Last December (Last December)
New years. The night Sirius had everything. A family. A chance at the cup. A wish.
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together (Back together)
They had overcome so much. So many challenges. And Sirius had chosen Remus each time, even if it cost him so much strength, he chose Remus.
They fell apart many times, but they always fell back together once more.
But that was before they entered the woods.
Ooh, your necklace hanging from my neck
The weight of the small necklace around Sirius' neck felt like nothing compared to the weight of the game he was about to play.
The night we couldn't quite forget
New years. The night he could never forget, even if he wanted to. Because the pictures would haunt him, for years and years.
When we decided, we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
New years. When Sirius realised once again that he wanted to spend every second he had with Remus.
Baby, like we stood a chance
It seemed ridiculous, but it always seems in hindsight. And somewhere in him there was a part of Sirius that wanted to laugh. Because isn't this exactly what he had predicted? That they’d both get hurt.
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinking
He had known the end before it started, and yet, he entered the woods.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Remus’ heart froze as he saw Sirius slam into the boards.
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
Remus’ heart froze once more when he entered the hospital room. Sirius looked, in all honesty, horrible.
“No,” he whispered as tears welled up.
When you started crying, baby, I did too
When Sirius had started crying was unclear, but some time later the unconscious man had tears streaking his face. And if that wasn't the most heartbreaking thing Remus had ever seen, he didn't know what else could be worse.
But when the sun came up, I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat?
“I get it, Re, if you want out.”
I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free"
“Please don’t let me trap you, Remus.”
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
It was during the first break, when he saw Remus’ face on the small screen of his phone, that Sirius realised what mattered. That the people out there, who were disgusted with him, could fuck off and Sirius wouldn't care. That the only person he so desperately wanted to stay, was Remus.
The monsters were just trees.
Unfortunately trees have roots. These roots turned out to be Fenrir Greyback.
When the sun came up you were looking at me
When Sirius woke up, the second thing he saw was a white room with bright lights. A hospital, he figured.
The first thing he saw were brown eyes, filled with concern.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Cameras flashed. “Sirius, can you tell us anything about your alleged boyfriend?”
Are we out of the woods yet?
“Sirius! How long have you been with Lupin?” Another flash blinded him for a second or two.
Are we out of the woods yet?
“Have you dated any of your teammates?”
Are we out of the woods?
“Are there any other people like you on your team?” Sirius felt disgusted with the reporters.
Are we in the clear yet?
“Sirius! Do you accuse Greyback of playing dirty and causing your recent injury?”
Are we in the clear yet?
“Sirius, can you tell us-”
Are we in the clear yet?
“Sirius,” a gentle voice interrupted the sharp ones. A warm hand pressed against his back. “Wake up, love.”
In the clear yet, good
And there, in bed, just the two of them, they were safe from the shadows of the world. There they were in a field of daisies, together.
~~~
well, that was a lot. i just have to write lyric fics from time to time lmao. (and i'll be honest with you, i was a bit tired when i wrote this)
Sort of fluff: coops slowdancing in their Livingston with furniture pushed aside
I loved this and as soon as I had it sent in I thought, ‘I know someone who would love this’.
So @tetedump this is for you!! Lots of love💗
Character inspiration from @lumosinlove
Song: LOVE
ENJOY💗
Remus leaned over and turned the radio up, the intro of ‘Love’ by Nat King Cole playing softly through the speakers.
Sirius had decided that his whole house needed redecorating, the living room being the final room that needed a touch up. Sirius had decided to go for something different. A dark purple feature wall with dark brown furniture. Remus had insisted on dark green and gold but Sirius refused to have anything ‘Snakes’ related in the house. Including the colour. It was superstition apparently.
Remus placed his brush down into the tray, walking over to Sirius and placing his hands softly on Sirius’ hips, swaying them slowly in time with the music. It was soft enough that they could hear the birds chirping through the open windows. He started singing softly in Sirius’ ear.
L is for the way you look at me,
Sirius placed the paintbrush down in the tray, turning around to face his fiancé, arms resting lightly on Remus’ shoulders.
O is for the only one I see,
Sirius pressed his forehead against Remus’ nudging his nose slightly against his own. They starting swaying in time to the beat of the music, moving slowly around the vast expanse of the now empty room.
It was just them- alone in the world. Alone to feel the love shared between them. This was for them. No one could take their love away from them.
V is very, very, extraordinary,
Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius’ torso, nuzzling his face into Sirius’ neck. He could smell the scent of Sirius’ cologne mixed with the paint he somehow got in his hair. ‘You’re extraordinary’ he thought.
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love,
Sirius nuzzled his nose in Remus’ hair, kissing his head softly.
They carried on dancing around the room, slowly moving along with the song.
They both closed their eyes, absorbing the calm atmosphere they had created.
Remus could feel Sirius’ heartbeat against his chest, slow and soft. Remus loved feeling Sirius’ heartbeat against his own- allowing his own to beat in time with it. To beat as one.
Remus felt Sirius stop abruptly, body going stiff. He looked up at him- Sirius’ eyes wide. Remus knew exactly what had happened just from the expression on Sirius’ face.
“You did not,” he laughed.
Sirius closed his eyes and laughed as well, pulling his foot out of the discarded paint tray on the floor.
So in honor of hitting 100 followers here, I decided to write something a little different, so enjoy Coops reacting to Thirst Tweets
Yes these are all real thirst tweets I found, rip my search history
Coops credit to @lumosinlove
The camera started with Remus and Sirius in a plain white room, sitting on stools next to each other.
"Hi, I'm Remus Lupin-."
"And I'm Sirius Black-"
Remus shoved Sirius lightly, covering his mouth with a loose hand so he could speak, "And welcome to Thirst Tweets- did you just lick me?!"
Remus pulled his hand away with a face of disgust, staring at his fiancé. Sirius just grinned in response, flashing his smile at the camera.
"Where we read tweets of people thirsting over us, apparently. I came across one on Twitter the other day and let's just say I'm not sure if I should be concerned for you all or impressed with your creativity."
"What one?" Remus asked, wiping his hand on Sirius' leg. Sirius, in turn, didn't make a face at the wetness on his leg.
"The one with the shoes."
Remus looked to be thinking it over until he remembered, hiding his face from the camera as he laughed. Sirius bit back his own grin, staring pointedly away as he shuffled his deck of cards.
Remus calmed down after a few moments, face slightly red from laughing.
"Sorry, sorry. That one was just amazing. And for the record, I agree."
Sirius flushed at the same time Marlene yelled from off-camera, "What did it say?"
"Anyways," Remus tapped the deck against his thigh before pulling one out and reading it.
"'Does anyone else want to cover Remus Lupin in chocolate syrup and lick it up? No? Just me then, ok.' I- what? Is that really something someone shared to the entire internet?" He looked past the camera, then looked at Sirius who seemed to be contemplating the idea.
"No, Sirius. That shit is really sticky and hard to clean."
Sirius opened his mouth and then Remus stopped him again, "No. None of those jokes right now, thank you. Just read a card."
Sirius huffed, jokingly rolling his eyes before pulling out his own and reading it.
"'Sirius could kill me and I'd thank him. To be fair I'd thank anybody, but Sirius would make it hot.' Are you guys ok? Because these tweets are something else."
"Just keep reading!"
"Fine, Marlene. My turn, I suppose." Remus grabbed a new one, turning slightly red as he read it. "I want Loops to choke me with his thighs.' Ok, what is it with you guys and dying? I'm concerned for your mental health."
"Just keep going! Sirius, your turn!"
Sirius laughed, pulling out another card.
"'I want Sirius to plow me like a fucking field so I can’t walk anymore.' Okay then. That's…um...what? You don't want to walk? Why not just break your knees instead? Then you have a valid excuse."
"Sirius, baby, that's not what they mean."
"I know that. Still though. If you don't want to walk find a valid excuse."
Remus rolled his eyes, reading another tweet. "'I want Gryffindor's Hockey team's PT to destroy my insides. I don't even remember his name but still.' Am I that forgettable?"
"'The Gryffindor Hockey Captain can break my back like a fucking glowstick.' I- where did this come from? Can I stop here? Please?"
Two 'no's came from behind the camera, and Sirius sighed.
"There's only like two left anyways."
Remus pulled his new one out, then looked into the camera and sighed.
"Mom, I am so sorry if you end up watching this. 'I want Remus Lupin to rail me so fucking hard that his mother feels it for months.'"
Sirius started laughing, covering his face in his hands as Remus stared at him in disbelief.
"How is that funny?! Oh my god, she's going to watch this. I apologize in advance, mom."
Sirius took a little while to calm down, and when he did he was still chuckling.
“Last one, mon loup. Ready?”
Remus grumbled in response but smiled anyway.
“‘I just want to tuck Cap under the covers and kiss his forehead that man deserves the world. (I mean Sirius Black, not Captain America.)’ Aww, that’s really sweet, actually.”
Remus spluttered from next to him, pouting.
“That isn’t fair! The last tweet I have to read is about my mother, and then you get forehead kisses?! What? Marlene!”
The video cut for a moment, coming back to still pouting Remus and laughing Sirius.
“I’m Sirius Black, and this pouting man is my fiance, Remus Lupin. Thank you all for joining us here at Lion’s Pride!”
coops credit to @lumosinlove as always :)
21 - jealousy (but like healthy and cute jealousy)
we love a little bit of healthy jealousy/possessiveness in this house
The hallway to the Lion’s locker room was lively with post-practice adrenaline. The grins and shouts and jokes of the team could barely be contained by the time they could get in the showers and attempt to cool off after a hard day of work. Coach had really pushed them that day, though not enough that they were tired, more that they were edging for more. Remus bounced on his heels and bit his lip as he followed the rest of the team. Team, that was new and still unbelievable.
What he didn’t notice was Talker following on his heels, or at least he didn’t notice until a still-gloved hand slapped his ass unexpectedly, “Hey, Rookie.”
“Please stop calling me Rookie,” Remus complained with no real bitterness. Most of the guys were probably half-way dressed at that point, so he could stop and turn to face Thomas fully.
“You did good today,” Talker replied with a smile. “I never knew how fast you were, Loops. No one else can compete.”
Remus chuckled, “Thanks, Talkie, but I’m sure they can.”
Thomas shook his head, wrapped an arm around Remus’ shoulders and guided him into the room as he hummed one of those new songs he’d added to the team playlist. The team - as he’d predicted - were in various states of undress. Logan leaned against Leo’s stall with only a pair of sweat pants that didn’t quite fit, whispering something in a low voice that caused a blush. Evgeni and Nado wrestled completely naked in the showers. Kasey, still pretty much fully dressed in goalie kit, danced around the room, occasionally inviting James or Olly to join him in his own world.
Remus’ eyes however went straight to Sirius’ stall to find his boyfriend laughing heartily at the scene before him. His freshly cut hair (which Remus absolutely took credit for) fell into his ocean blue eyes and the 12 necklace around his neck swayed with every move of his head. God, Remus was in love.
“Get naked, Loops,” Talker said far too loud as they made their way to their stalls. “There’s a new song I want to try out for shower karaoke today!”
Shower karaoke. How could he forget? “Alright, alright, I’m on it.”
“You bet you are!” Talker drawled out. Remus glanced over at Sirius again, still in his stall but now with one James Potter in front of him trying to coax him out, much to Sirius’ dismay.
Remus shed his heavy gear, carefully folding what could be folded in contrast to most others in the room, and stepped into the showers fully. The warmth of the rushing water dancing against his back was refreshing and somehow cooling, bringing him down from his high. Some people, it seemed, were not affected the same way.
“Loops, I mean this as platonically as possible,” Talker leaned over from his own shower, “But that ass though! Sirius is one lucky man!”
Remus, only mildly mortified, couldn’t help but laugh, “If that’s platonic to you, then I’m not sure what you consider ‘romantic’.”
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” He winked slyly.
The shampoo bottle in Thomas’ hand suddenly became his personal microphone as Harry Styles started to sing over the speakers. At some point, he held it up to Remus to try and get him to sing along.
“Absolutely not,” Remus tried. “My shower karaoke days are behind me. I’ve retired.”
“What a shame,” Thomas complained. “I quite enjoyed your solo rendition of ‘Alexander Hamilton’.”
Remus rolled his eyes and grabbed the bottle right from the other man’s hands, beginning to sing off-key. More guys had entered the showers, joining in to their awful kind-of concert. It was a good job they were good at hockey, Remus thought to himself.
As he hit a high note with all the vigour it deserved, Remus heard Talker wolf-whistle loudly, “Go, Loops! I would totally date you if it wasn’t for Noelle, you know.”
“And you’d have to get through me,” another voice called out as they stepped forward. As Remus got a better look, he saw Sirius, the only thing on his body the silver necklace that sparkled under the running water. His face was playful though his eyes were stormy as serious. Thomas only whistled again.
“You get your man, Cap,” He called out with a grin.
Sirius flipped him off as he moved closer to Remus for a brief kiss, “Hey, baby.”
“Hi.”
“You played good today,” Sirius said honestly, not even realising he was parroting exactly what Thomas had said before. “You always play good, I love you on the ice.”
“I love you too,” Remus smiled to his ears. Just as he was about to place a hand on Sirius’ shoulders and meet his face again, Thomas spluttered from his shower.
“Keep it PG, guys,” He said. “As much as we love and support you, just remember that you are butt naked right now and sex is better for the bedroom.”
Sirius’ eyes widened as Remus flushed all over. The rest of the room erupted in uncontrollable fits of laughter, including Thomas, as Sirius shooed him off with one hand, “Ok, ok, leave us alone.”
“But, you know, If you wanted to...” Talker started.
“NOPE!”
This fic is written by me and the brilliant dani! @unadulteratedpaperparadise. she'll probably say we both did the same amount, but without her there wouldn't have been a remus birthday fic today, so give her all the love! she deserves it.

“I don’t know about this…” Remus said questioningly.
“C’mon, Re,” Sirius pleaded. “It’ll be fun, I promise.” He punctuated his sentence with a kiss to Remus’ ear.
Remus sighed, “Fine. One time and if I hate it, I get to do yours.”
Sirius' eyes lit up and he actually bounced a bit on his toes. “Hell yes, Re! You’ll look even better than you usually do.”
A blush crept up on his face and he couldn’t keep the smile from his lips. “So?”, he asked, looking expectantly at his boyfriend.
“Ooh, okay. Sit down”, Sirius barely hid his smile as he turned around to get the makeup from where he’d put it.
“Okay, baby,” Remus laughed as he sat down. “You’re really excited about this, huh?”
“Yeah, I mean I just think you’ll look hot,” Sirius said. “I mean, you always look hot but-”
“Relax, I know what you meant,” His infectious chuckle continued.
“Okay. Can I start? Are you ready to become even more beautiful?”, Sirius was smiling over both cheeks now as he picked up a brush and some kind of container.
“Stop it,” Remus blushed a little every time Sirius paid him a compliment, even after all this time.
His smile turned into a grin and he was sure Remus knew what he had gotten himself into. “What? I can’t tell my gorgeous, brilliant, wickedly hot boyfriend that he is the light of my life and the best person on earth? Now what’s the fun in that?”, he leaned down and kissed Remus’ cheeks, where his blush had darkened to a deep red.
Remus hid his face in his hands, willing the blush to go away. He stared up into those beautiful blue eyes and suddenly it didn’t matter if he was blushing; it didn’t matter if he was at the bottom of the Mariana Trench or the top of Mount Everest, he would look up into those eyes. Those eyes that looked at him like he was worth something… worth everything.
Sirius’ smile softened, “You’re perfect.”, he paused and just looked at the other for what felt like an eternity, “Okay. Makeup!”
Sirius pulled out the makeup bag that Lily had prepared for him. It was reflective, proclaiming “Find yourself and be that!” Sirius smiled at the wording, knowing that now he had found himself and that he was, in fact, being that.
He got out a sparkly eyeshadow and a big fluffy brush and then stopped looking a bit sheepish, “What do I start with?”
“From the one makeup video I’ve ever watched, I think you start with foundation?” Remus guessed, shrugging.
“Ah. Yes, of course,” he went looking through the bag again mumbling to himself, “Foundation. Yeah, I know what that looks like, I’ll just-”
“Glass bottle.”
“I knew that, but thank you. Foundation.”, he said as he held up the bottle in victory, accompanied with a sponge in the other hand.
“I think you gotta wet the sponge first,” Remus supplied helpfully (?). “I mean, I think.”
“You’re awfully knowledgable for someone who’s only watched one makeup tutorial, huh?” Sirius smirked as he splashed a little foundation onto the back of his hand.
“Maybe I watch the occasional beauty guru,” Remus conceded. “Maybe I watch beauty ASMR videos and if I do, it’s my business and mine alone.” He huffed out, a little embarrassed.
“You are adorable.”, Sirius placed a lingering kiss onto Remus' forehead, “And now, foundation!” The black-haired boy carefully soaked the sponge into the liquid and dabbed it onto his boyfriend's cheeks. “Is this right, Mr. Makeup ASMR?”, he asked Remus in a teasing tone covering his face slowly in the light beige Lily had brought them.
“Yes,” Remus gritted through his teeth playfully.
“Awww, you look like an angry little puppy when you do that,” Sirius cooed whilst continuing his ministrations. “Don’t pout, it’s bad for the makeup.” Remus’ eye twitched in mock-irritation.
Remus sighed once the other was satisfied with his work. “Concealer is next. So please, make these under eye bags disappear.”
Sirius acted annoyed, but he knew Remus could see, he was glad for the instructions. “I love them, though. They’re part of you. You work too hard, that’s what they show.”
“This is makeup. It’s reversible.”, Remus smiled. He had never liked his eyebags, which had always kind of just been there, but it made him warm up to hear Sirius did.
“Fine.” a pout on his lips, the taller man covered the skin under Remus’ eyes with a lighter shade, watching the light purple disappear.
“So pretty, baby,” Sirius said lovingly as he patted the product into his boyfriend’s delicate skin.
“Hey, that’s my line,” Remus reached out to hold Sirius’ left hand, which was resting lightly on his cheek to give him stability when applying the makeup. He gently tugged it away from his own cheek to place a kiss in between his boy’s knuckles. “You’re so soft here. I thought your skin would be rough.” He flipped Sirius’ hand over in his his, analyzing every nook and cranny, crevice and callous.
“Why would my knuckles-” Sirius’ affection for the man before him killed the query on his lips. His eyes fluttered down briefly then, softly, met Remus’. “I like being soft with you.”
“I like all of you, baby. Smooth sides and rough edges,” Remus said, still absently playing with Sirius’ hand.
“Even after all these years, you still always know what to say to me,” Sirius said, staring deeply into Remus’ light amber eyes.
“I still don’t think that’s true,” Remus huffed a quick laugh.
“I’ll be the judge of that,” Sirius pulled away slightly to pick up a small pot of blush.
He used a large fluffy brush to pick up a little bit of the bright pink product and leaned back over to his lover.
“Light, upward strokes,” Sirius spoke softly, intently focused on the application of the blush.
“Huh, never knew you to be one for light strokes,” Remus joked.
Sirius couldn’t help the smile, but chose to wash over the comment, instead applying the pink power onto his boyfriend’s cheeks. “You look so cute! Like you’re blushing.”, he said, once he was done, looking at Remus.
“If that’s what it looks like you might have added too much.”, he laughed, ignoring the actual blush that spread under the makeup across his cheeks. As Sirius just kept staring at him,his face felt hotter. Remus took a deep breath, “Come on. Want to do something with my eyes?”
The black haired shook out of his trans, “Yes, yeah, of course. This is the most important part. You’re going to love it.”
“You promised that for the rest aswell.”
Sirius turned around, the smallest amount of actual hurt on his face mixed with a load of cockyness. “What? You don’t love your look so far?”
“No, I adore it. I look fantastic.” Remus answered, his voice dripping in irony.
The other smiled and then dropped a kiss onto his nose, “You always do.”
“So we’re done?”
“You’re not getting out of this, love,” Sirius came back with a whole palette of colors, ranging from deep purples to sparkly golds. He struggled to open it and after a while wordlessly held it out to Remus.
He smiled, but opened it for his lover and returned it.
Sirius sprinkled a light layer of sparkly gold over Remus’ eyelid. He added a burgundy to the crease, accentuating the shape of his eye with classic Lions colors. He added a couple swipes of mascara.
“I’m not fucking around with eyeliner,” Sirius laughed. “I feel like I could do some real damage with that stuff and I do not want to go to the ER today. Or anyday. No ER for you, my sweetheart.”
Remus joined in with his boyfriend’s laughter. “Yeah. Imagine having to explain that.”
“I accidentally stabbed my love blind with eyeliner,”
“Sounds about right,” Remus chuckled. “That would definitely happen to us.”
Sirius made grabby hands at Remus’ sweater paws and reached out to pull him up and out of the chair he was sitting in, spinning him around slowly to face the mirror.
“I look…” Remus trailed off. Sirius came up behind him and snaked his arms around his waist.
“Pretty. You look so pretty, sweetheart,” Sirius cooed sweetly.
this is my first coops fic but i’ve been dying to write about them for ages :) I am probably definitely the least qualified person to be writing about the sw characters seeing as I'm British, can’t speak French and play field hockey, not ice

“You’re joking?”
“Remus please, I would never joke about this. We know you’re an outstanding player, you did more than prove yourself at family skate, and Sirius agreed with us too,” Arthur smiled, giving Remus a moment to process.
“You want me,” he started, gesturing briefly to himself, “to play for the lions? As in actually be a proper player, train with them and everything.”
“Well those are the basic qualifications yes,” Moody laughed.
Remus rolled his eyes, but laughed along too, feeling some of the tension leave his chest as the reality of what was happening fully hit him. He beamed at the two men in front of him, the same two who had given him hope for his future when he joined as a pt, something he hadn’t felt for a long time after the accident.
“I, honestly I don’t know what to say. I was expecting to come over here to talk about the next season, or new superstitions the boys seemed to have picked up,” his smile never left his face as he talked, playing with the cuff of his jacket to give his hands something to do. “Of course I want to be a lion. I really do, and I don’t know how to thank you.”
“You’ve done a lot for the team, it’s you we should really be thanking. I think you’ll add something to the play; you all communicate well with each other and your skill set is extraordinary. But please, go and talk to Sirius, I think he’s been close to bursting with not being able to tell you.”
He gave Arthur and Moody a quick handshake each, but he could’ve hugged them. Sirius was exactly where he was when he left him, a beaming smile plastered on his face. It took all his self control not to sprint back to him.
“You okay mon loup?”
Remus hugged him in response, hiding his face in his boyfriends neck. “I’m gonna be a lion,” he mumbled, feeling Sirius’ grip tighten around his waist.
three months later
Remus walked into the Lions locker room behind Sirius, his jersey on, the back of it hidden by his lions jacket. Sirius squeezed his had comfortingly.
“Alright Loops, we get it you’re dating the captain, is there really any need to wear his jersey though I mean come on,” James chirped, punching him lightly on the arm. Remus just laughed, rolling his eyes.
“Oi Lupin, stretch me will you?” Talker shouted as he walked from his stall.
“Nope.”
“It’s literally your job man come on.”
“No it’s not.”
The locker room exploded at that, shouts of “what?” and “if they fired you I swear to fuck I’m fighting a bitch” could be heard from varying spaces in the room. The last comment was most likely from Tremzy, Remus thought
Dumo, who had stayed relatively quiet, shushed them suddenly, pointing towards Remus. “That’s not caps jersey,” he stated, “there’s no c stitched into it.” You can always count on Dumo to see the things no one else seems to.
“What the fuck Loops. Who’s jersey are you wearing then?”
He looked to Sirius who gave him a small nod, before taking off his jacket and turning around. The room went silent before it exploded again, the boys crowding Remus in a hug.
In that moment, surrounded by the team, his team, with Sirius’ eyes locked on his, he knew he was home.
I don’t know how happy I am with this, but for my first fic it’s okay ig
