OKAY BUT - Wolfstar 10 Things I Hate About You AU
Regulus Black is the perfect, beautiful popular girl that's got boys and girls alike swooning over him - not that Walburga would let any of them defile her precious baby
Sirius Black is his older punk brother who is fed up with his parents and the system. He's brash, annoying, and unlikeable and he likes it that way.
Remus is the rough around the edges trailer trash. (I heard he got in a fist fight with a wolf and won. I heard he spent the last year in jail - he didn't. He was taking care of his mom.) Sure, he's committed petty theft a few times but hey, kids gotta eat
Evan Rosier is the vapid model who wants nothing more than to be with Regulus. I mean just think about how pretty they'd look together?
James Potter is the sweet, caring new kid whose smitten with Regulus, but there's one problem - he can't take Reg on a date until Sirius does
Peter goes behind James's back and tells Evan he should pay Remus to go out with Sirius
Remus starts to fall for Sirius and he doesn't want to keep taking the money. It's just his mom's medication is so expensive
James and Sirius become friends when James begs Sirius for his help as he's lied about his French tutoring capabilities to get to know Reg better
Sirius starts helping James with his attempts to woo Regulus cause lord knows he's so much better than Rosier
Yes, Remus does the dramatic bleachers serenade
Maybe a twist and Remus accidentally stands Sirius up for prom because his mom ends up needing to go the hospital
Also Reg definitely gets to punch Evan in the face and kick him in the balls
A game of broken telephone causes Sirius to think that James paid Remus so he could date his brother. It take them a while to figure out that Peter was the mastermind behind the scheme
Sirius hates sonnets. He fucking hates sonnets. His mom made him and his brother study all the classics and when he decided to be his own person he decided to throw away anything that would bring his mother even a modicum of joy. But it's just he's got this stupid poetry assignment and all he can think about is Remus's stupid face and the weird trailer trash food combinations he love and how Sirius is the only one who knows the rumours about him aren't true, and his hands feel in his, and the way his lips feel against his... and Sirius hates that he can't hate him. He wants to. The only thing he's ever been good at is anger and when did he stop hating everything? And if there's anything he's sure of it's that this is Remus's fault and if he just so happens to tell him all this in a beautifully worded sonnet in class then it's Remus's fault anyways.
Remus leaves class because Sirius can't really want him. He has to be imagining it. He stops coming to school focusing on taking care of his mom and at the end of the day it's James and Regulus who pick Sirius's stupid ass up and drive him out to Remus's and drops him there until they sort their shit out.
And of course, alongside all of this there is lots of brotherly bonding where Regulus realizes Sirius thought he was protecting his brother and Regulus realizes how naive he has been about their family, love, and his future
I don't have time to write this. But I just needed to share! (Also I need everyone to know that Bernard the elf from The Santa Clause is in 10 Things I Hate About You, which I did not know)
