have - jegulus - @stag-microfic - word count: 216 - 16 September
James and Sirius’ favourite pastime was to sit on the steps outside the library and pass judgement on those going in to study. Their university was massive so the pool of randos was always plentiful.
“Sick as fuck bag”
“Frosted tips do not work on him.”
“She needs to ditch the scrunchie, that was so 2016”
Oftentimes it just resulted in a big game of smash or pass. Or rather it was a game for James where Sirius just offered his opinion. Sirius was hopelessly in love with his boyfriend, Remus. They had moved in together recently after problems with Sirius’ family. James doesn’t know the full story. Sirius hardly talks about his family.
“She’s lovely, look at her hair. It’s like a fire.”
“That’s Evans, she’s in my Physics class. Too bad she likes women.”
“Ugh, all the good ones do.”
“Hmmm he’s cute,” James tried again.
“Too many facial piercings for me. Are those snake bites?”
“Hot. Wait no. I’ve found the love of my life. That devastatingly gorgeous, grey-eyed god just behind him.”
“What the fuck Prongs?” Sirius exclaimed, his expression incredulous.
James, startled by this sudden outburst, tore his eyes away from the man in the dark green crop top as he entered the library doors. “What?”
James was freaking out, crouched beside the host stand at a local restaurant to hide from his blind date who was already seated at their table, and Sirius was laughing at him.
“Who did you expect me to set you up with?”
“I don’t know!” James whisper-shouted into the phone. “Remus’ coworker? A long lost cousin? Someone I don’t already know!”
“You don’t want to date any of my cousins,” Sirius said, and James could hear the shudder in his voice even across the phone line.
James twisted his body and sat on his ass to continue their conversation. “That’s not the point, and you know it.”
“You’ve been in love with my brother for ten years,” Sirius argued. “It’s time you guys finally went out.”
“I’ve been in love with him for eight years, and that’s ex—”
“I hope you’re talking about me down there, otherwise this is a real waste of an evening.”
“Regulus!” James all but shouted. Regulus was standing at the host’s podium, staring down at James as he sat there on the restaurant floor like a small child.
Sirius cackled on the other end of the line.
“Asshole,” James groaned, finally ending the call and looking back up at Regulus. “Yeah, I was talking about you.”
James pushed himself off the floor and dusted off the back of his jeans before following Regulus back to their table.
“So eight years, hm?”
James stopped short, only just realizing what he had admitted to.
A depressing entry for @marauders-rarepair-fics and @stag-microfic’s prompts 25 (respectively monster and immune) inspired by this work of art.
Plot: Sirius mourns James. Non canon compliant.
Words: 378
The deer lay limp on the blood-soaked wooden floor, the dog’s dark head on its mute, motionless chest, waiting in vain for an impossible awakening. They rested in a pool of sticky crimson, brown eyes wide open, blind to the sorrow they were now immune to, grey ones blurred with blame yet so tastelessly alive.
The hound bit his mangled lips, choked on air he couldn’t get inside its lungs. He needed to muffle his stuttering, stumbling brain, the echoes of remorse and regret spreading in his eardrums like a disease, but he was so angry his limbs were numb, so angry he could only stare at the round, shattered spectacles a couple of feet away.
“If I don’t survive, move on for the both of us,” James had told him the last time they spoke, but how could he when his absence felt like an amputated limb, when even fleeting flashes of the way he used to tuck stray locks behind his ears were mutilation? Every deconstructed image of their fingers intwined was a bullet in the leaking hole he once called heart, every memory of phantom kisses and knowing, toothy grins just an excuse for his throat to burn with the remnants of insipid grief.
At the funeral, Sirius kneeled in front of the casket, in death like he should’ve in life, and instead of proposing with a ring he gently placed a new pair of glasses on his best friend’s face. For the first time, they sat straight on his nose, a clear sign the stag was far away, his legacy alive in every place he graced with his presence but his remains ready to feed the moist, unforgiving ground. He promised himself to never look back, but guilt consumed him like a flesh-eating monster, its fruits so decadent in their ripeness they rot his soul from the core. He had wandered aimlessly, trying to escape a beloved ghost haunting the field of his vision, but in the end, when a tepid spring began to give way to a hot summer, he broke his vow, lashes heavy with the salt of dried teardrops.
“You’re avenged,” he murmured, caressing the marble headstone, but only the howl of a lone wolf responded in the murderous, moonlit night.

@struttingstag Feb 27 Prompt: I lost the map...
Sirius/Lily/James | 332 words | ao3
Warning: explicit smut
“James!” Sirius called.
Lily’s head popped off of James’s cock and she glared at James, as if it were his fault.
“What!?” James said to both of them.
“I lost the Map!” Sirius said, his distraught voice carrying from the changing room.
Lily rolled her eyes and resumed licking at James’s cock, and pulling at his balls.
“The Map?” James asked, voice slurred in pleasure. “It’s in my locker.”
James heard a series of bangs that must have been every locker in the changing room, but his mind was on Lily’s tongue, the glide of it from root to tip. She suckled at him before taking him in earnest, bobbing her head expertly.
“Found it!” Sirius called.
James relaxed against the shower wall, and Lily took him all the way down to the base of his cock. James’s hand found the back of her head.
“This doesn’t make sense, Lily doesn’t even like Quidd–“
Sirius stepped into the shower room in time to see James’s eyes rolling back, gripping Lily’s hair, holding her head in place as he came inside her mouth.
There was a moment of silence where James shuddered and Lily stilled, come drooling out of her full mouth.
“Prongs!” Sirius said, scandalized. “You told me you were a virgin!”
James laughed. “Yeah, three years ago–right before you made me come in my pants.”
Lily had heard this a thousand times and would hear it a million more. She pulled off, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “Come on, you ungrateful gits, what’s the point of having two boyfriends if I don’t get any more orgasms?”
Sirius stopped his teasing for a moment to appreciate Lily on her knees. “Alright, Little Red,” his lips turned wicked smile, “Prongsie, whoever gives Lils the most orgasms in the next hour gets fucked next.”
James offered Lily a hand up, eager, “You’re so on.”
Sirius tossed the Map back into the changing room, quickly followed by his clothes and wand.

April 5th Prompt: Quiet in the library | 1530 words
James/Regulus/Sirius | Warnings: NSFW, blow jobs
James was at the library studying with Regulus for the third day in a row. Regulus wasn't studying though, he was just making James study since he had his NEWTs coming up in a month. It didn't help that Regulus kept biting his bottom lip every time James got the answer correct, which happened quite a lot and the longer they sat there the tighter James' jeans became.
"Reg... if you keep doing that, I'm going to end up launching over this table to ravish your neck until we can get to our secret room," James whisper-yelled across the table after he slammed the transfiguration book closed.
"Aww, baby," Regulus cooed. "Am I distracting you?"
"You know you are." James scoffed as he rolled his eyes.
"Well, maybe having you ravish me in the library is my end goal. Did you ever think about that?" Regulus asked as he batted his long lashes at him and James had to adjust himself in his seat.
"You're the one who wanted me to study." James threw his hands up in the air in frustration.
He didn't know how much longer the blood flow was going to continue to go to his brain before it all travelled south in a hurry. Regulus laughed quietly before he stood up and walked around the table to stand behind James and whispered in his ear as he ran his hand up and down James' chest.
"Ten more minutes and I'll let you do whatever you want when we get back to our room. Okay?" James nodded dumbly.
Regulus straightened and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?"
"To get the last book that you need."
Regulus disappeared into the stacks a minute later. James was trying to calm his body down so he could focus. He could wait ten more minutes. Right? James was about to open the book in front of him again when Sirius appeared and plopped himself down in Regulus' chair with a huff. James gave him a confused look before he started speaking.
"I don't get it," Sirius said as he looked around for a second before he locked eyes with James again.
"Get what?"
"What's so special about Reggie? Well, no, I know what's special about him but why him and not me?" Sirius complained. "What does he do better than I can?"
"What are you talking about?"
"We have been best friends for years and we've done stuff in the past, right?" James nodded. "So why him?"
"Well, for one," Regulus smirked from behind Sirius, who nearly fell out of his chair at Regulus' sudden appearance, "I'm better at sucking cock than you are."
"You are not!" Sirius gasped as he put his hand over his heart in offence.
"Pretty sure the noises you were making the last time I sucked you off prove that I am." Regulus shrugged as he sat down next to his brother.
"That's beside the point," Sirius pouted before he turned away from Regulus, who was quietly laughing, and back to James, who was trying to hide his smile behind his hand.
"Is that why?" Sirius asked, gesturing to Regulus.
"I mean, he is quite an expert at it but that's not the only reason," James replied with a shrug.
"Told you," Regulus taunted as he stuck out his tongue at Sirius who was still pouting.
"What if I prove I'm better?" Sirius asked suddenly with a determined look on his face.
"What?" James choked out. He wasn't sure if he heard him correctly. "Better at what?"
"Sucking cock."
"You really think that you're better than me?" Regulus scoffed as he rolled his eyes.
Now see, James loves Regulus. He really does but he has also fantasised about Sirius in the past. They had done some stuff but it never went any further than making out and fondling each other over their clothes. They were teenage boys who just hit puberty and they were curious. James didn't know what to say. He looked at Regulus for a minute with the question on his tongue but Regulus seemed to have already read his mind.
"It's up to you, Jamie," Regulus said nonchalantly as he leaned back in his chair and gestured to his brother with a lazy wave of his hand.
"So what do you say, James?" Sirius asked hopefully.
"What? Now?"
"Yeah. I mean you're already worked up," James glared at Regulus before looking back at Sirius. "Why not let me help you out?" Sirius finished.
"We're in the library," James remarked aghast.
Regulus stood up and walked around the table again to whisper in James' ear.
"He's not going to let it go until you let him suck you off. Plus, if you let him do that, I'll let you tie me up later. I know how much you love doing that."
James could feel his cheeks heat up and he was sure the three Hufflepuff girls could see it from across the library.
James nodded slowly as a soft 'okay' fell from his lips.
Regulus grabbed his hand to pull him up from the table. James went willingly and followed Regulus without hesitation. He didn't know where they were going but he didn't care.
"Are you coming?" Regulus called back to the table where Sirius was still sitting with a confused look on his face.
Sirius jumped up so fast that he nearly knocked the chair over and walked quickly over to them. By the time they stopped, Regulus had dragged them to a secluded part of the library where they kept the outdated books that they refused to get rid of. Regulus pushed James into one of the armchairs before he ran his hand up James' chest lightly and positioned himself behind the chair but close enough to keep his hands on James.
"Let's see what you got, brother."
Sirius nodded and dropped to his knees with a thud and started to release James' cock from its confines. It sprung up quickly once his jeans and pants were pulled halfway down his thighs. Regulus started to run his ring-clad fingers through James' hair, tugging gently at the roots. James' heart flipped in his chest at the prospect of having both brothers at the same time.
"What are you waiting for, Sirius? He's willing and I can already see him leaking from the tip," Regulus scoffed as he ran his lips along the helix of James' ear, making him shiver with anticipation. "If you don't hurry up, I'm going to kick you out and take care of him myself."
Sirius didn't waste another second and swallowed James down in one go, gagging slightly. James moaned at the sudden wet heat and Regulus put his hand over James' mouth.
"You have to be quiet, baby. This is the library remember," Regulus breathed into James' ear and James nodded before he let out another muffled moan into Regulus' hand.
Sirius started to swirl his tongue around James' cock as he bobbed his head faster and faster. James was starting to see stars at the corners of his vision. Was he better than Regulus? James couldn't tell. He was good with his tongue, James would give him that. He could feel himself crawling to the edge and peering over it. He was teetering and when James went to tell Sirius that he was close, he was cut off by another muffled moan from deep in his throat.
"You're close, aren't you, baby?" Regulus asked, always in tune with James' body.
James nodded as he closed his eyes for a second to focus on the feel of having Sirius between his thighs and Regulus behind him. Regulus removed his hand after another rather loud muffled moan and replaced it with his lips, swallowing the moan that followed.
"Quiet, Jamie. You need to behave if you want your treat," Regulus whispered seductively into James' ear, causing his whole body to shudder and his hips to buck up into Sirius' mouth before he spilt down his throat with no warning.
Sirius swallowed every last drop, licking James clean before he pulled off with a smug grin.
"So?" Sirius asked. "Who's better?"
"I- I don't know," James replied as he looked between the brothers.
James was still coming down from the high of his orgasm as Regulus put him back into his jeans. Regulus was trying to hide his own smug grin as Sirius scoffed and threw his hands up in the air. James was sure if Sirius had a chance to prove it by himself then James might be able to make a decision but he was still reeling from having them both at the same time. Could he have them both at the same time?
Once James had calmed his body down, Regulus grabbed his hand again and pulled him along back to the table to pack up their stuff. Sirius was trailing behind like a sad puppy.
"Good boy," Regulus whispered into James' ear after he pulled him in for a kiss after they left the library.
If the three of them ended up in James' and Regulus' room, that was nobody's business except their own.
