Wolfstar Week: Hogwarts Fluff ☁️

Summary: “Eclectic, is it?” said Sirius, eying the television with suspicion when he entered the common room later that night. James and Peter were with him, and they also eyed the flickering screen—interested, but warily so.

Remus blinked. Then he realized: “Oh, electric. Yes.”

Remus brings a television with him to Hogwarts! They watch a soap opera! Be careful with electricity, kids!

Comments: I thought the technology at Hogwarts concept would throw me off, but this fic made it cute and believable and still a little magical. There’s something so domestic about them watching ridiculous soap operas together.

43 and 45 :D

Thanks for the numbers, Molly! <3

43. hoodie, leather jacket, cardigan, jean jacket or bomber jacket?

My black faux leather jacket all the way! It's one of my top three favorite articles of clothing.

45. which genre: sci-fi, fantasy or superhero?

Ooh okay, I'd say superhero for movies but fantasy for books. Fantasy is more my jam, but I'm usually disappointed by the film adaptations. (Did anyone else see the Eragon movie? Oof.)

Questions from weird asks that say a lot!

93 and 96!

hello n thank you babs!

93. nicknames?

planned to stay like...totally anonymous on here and never share these things but then i post my personal spotify all the time like its a personality trait which very clearly reveals that my irl nickname is nels. all my family either call me nels or refer to me by my initials, and my friends refer to me by my surname like we're a bunch of private schoolboys. i don't think my parents have called me my real name to my face in at least a decade to be honest. which is fair, my real name is very dull. and obviously on here! ridi, taken from my url.

96. desktop background?

sigh...a black and white photo of the beatles...everyone booed everyone hissed...

weird asks!

“You know,” Remus said. “We joke, but it's not actually that bad. Barely smells like curry at all, really—the times that I’ve slept on it, anyway.”

“That's because he cleans it whenever he knows you’ll be over, doesn't he,” Peter said cheerfully, clapping Remus on the shoulder. “Full scouring, top to bottom.”

Remus grinned and turned to Sirius, ready to share the joke; except that Sirius had turned a bloody, splotchy red and was already getting up, yelling “Who’s brought the Firewhiskey, then?” to the room at large.

This fic - Inflations, Invitations, and Flirtations - by @squidgilator is an absolute delight to read. It’s fun, light-hearted and the pining is simply superb. The pun - where everyone but Sirius ‘Lo-Li’s’ at Lupin’s gels together a series of wonderful, heartwarming moments. Highly recommended!

🎵for Refuge!!

🎵 - what song do you associate with [specific fic]?

Oh noooooooooooo unfortunately music is a bad thing to ask me about, because I generally don't listen to it, and especially not when writing! I don't really associate any particular song with Refuge, but you can feel free to choose something for that fic that is appropriately sad and mournful :)

8 from worst of the worst for ask game! what's your least fave plot twist?

I try so hard to stay out of drama and you send me this??? The betrayal! (Jk love you.)

I don’t know why anyone would, but just to be safe: PLEASE don’t reblog this in case the author is on here. I’d feel so horrible!

Okay so I realize my blog does not give this impression in the slightest but I’m actually a multi-shipper when it comes to reading fic! I find it really interesting to see how authors handle pairings that don’t match canon/my headcanons.

Anyway, I was in a time travel phase at one point last year and saw this Remus/Hermione fic that had some very unusual other pairings and tags. Basically, it was one of those situations where I started reading something out of morbid curiosity, already knowing it wouldn’t be my thing. It was not. It was kind of entertaining though until this:

We discover that Hermione had an affair with older Remus in her original timeline when he was already married to Tonks and parenting Teddy (they survived the war in this one).

Younger Remus in the new timeline tells Hermione she’s his werewolf mate and he can tell by her scent. So older Remus had married Tonks knowing Hermione was his mate and apparently decided that age gap was acceptable but the difference with Hermione was not? But then had an affair with her anyway?

Hermione tells younger Remus that she’d already slept with older him when he was married to Nymphadora Tonks. Remus’s response to this revelation: heh wow I’m such a stud, I was nearly 40 and I had a wife in her mid-20s and a mistress who was 19. 😏

Congrats on 100!!!

Padfoot, and the word: "heart" :))) <3

Thank you, friend! <3 I'm really excited to read To Build a Home this month once I get back into my usual routine!

Padfoot: A sentence from my Wolfstar WIP.

I'm going to give you three whole sentences because the first one that came up with "heart" doesn't really make that much sense in isolation, so good job with your choice of word. ;)

Is this how Moony felt, that unspoken summer? Like his heart had been clawed open and left shredded in the light of the full moon? Like there was nothing left to do but to let it harden and scar over in the weak rays of morning?

glad you answered 14 already, but also... 15. what’s your least favorite thing about writing?

Molly!!! Thank you for the ask and for being so supportive and generous!!!

Honestly I think my answer to this is basically just the flip side of 14! As much as it's been fun to experiment with how to write fiction and think through the structure of a story, it's also been an exercise in frustration for me. I've got a clear idea in my head of what I'm aiming for in terms of the character/plot arc, but I don't really know how to translate that to the page. I'm learning, it's just all very slow.

I've found that individual lines and moments come to me pretty easily, but stitching it all together is a real challenge. I'm still messing around a lot with where exactly the starting point should be and whether I want to stick with my original nonlinear storytelling plan. Hopefully the fic will be stronger for all my agonizing over it in the end, but it's a little disheartening to feel like I'm not making much progress day-to-day!
