This is Remus Lupin and James Potter. Photo taken by Sirius.
Sirius, narrating: *points to Remus* This is a werewolf
Sirius: Werewolves can be very aggressive creatures when not fed enough chocolate and coffee
Sirius: and they have absolutely no tolerance for dumbasses and idiots
James: But when taken care of, they can be very loving and gay additions to your family
Sirius: *internally* Everything’s normal. He’s just your friend Remus.
Sirius: *internally* Your FRIEND Remus.
Remus: *walks in and smiles* Hi, Sirius.
Sirius: *internally* Heyyyy, it’s your boyfriend Remus!
remus has a big appetite
trigger warning! if anyone is sensitive to the topic of food or weight fluctuation then please don’t read this post! having irregular weight is completely normal for some people who aren’t even werewolves! anyway, enjoy the post if you’re about to read it 💕
i’ve seen a lot of posts talking about remus not eating a lot because full moons make him feel kinda ill and stuff
and so i got thinking... what if, since he is literally part wolf, it was the complete opposite?
so here i present to you...
remus eats a lot
so one of the telling signs of remus having some sort of secret was in first year
very early on the marauders noticed how remus most definitely ate a lot
sometimes sirius would catch remus sneakily stealing a piece of chicken from his plate and quickly snatch it away with his fork
they’d have a snack stash in their dorm room, which they assigned remus to fill when it was empty
“well i’m not filling it, because half of this box is filled with stuff i don’t like. james only picks at the bertie bot’s and peter only eats the corners of the biscuits.”
it was when they found out he was a werewolf that they finally understood why he ate so much
they would ask him a lot of questions about it at first, such as...
“rem, do you like meat the most out of all foods?”
“why do you like chocolate so much when it’s poisonous to dogs, and you’re like, part dog?”
“how many mushrooms can you fit in your mouth?” (that one was sirius, very curious)
he would always answer these questions very truthfully, secretly finding them funny
“let’s just say... quite a lot siri”
however, eating a lot wasn’t just another attribute of his, it came with consequences
since during the full moon, he’d burn off a tonne
so he would always be a bit smaller than before afterwards
madame pomfrey encouraged him to eat more to gain back his strength, so he never really stopped
from his boyfriend’s point of view though, every point in the cycle was brilliant
he liked the immediate post moon, since remus would usually let him big spoon
he liked running his fingers across his rib cage and feeling the slight precense of bones there
sirius is very naturally cold, but remus is only really cold at around this time, so he enjoys the extra blankets they have in bed
around the middle of the cycle, remus gets “FRIGGIN RIPPED” as james says
he has regained his regular stature now and has veins for days on his arms
sirius’ favourite part about this stage is the little dip in his abdomen where he would have a six pack “IF he joined the quiddich team!” “more like quiddick team...” (you can decide who said what and in what way for yourselves)
it’s at this point where he gives the best bear hugs, which is especially good for sirius, being nearly a whole foot shorter than him
he often gets smothered by his pecks, which he doesn’t mind to be honest
this is what remus himself likes to call “peak remus form” as he feels minimum full moon effects, he is more confident and he has a lot of testosterone
and finally, around the end of the cycle, a week or so before the full moon, he starts to get a little bit tubby
and don’t get me wrong, sirius ADORES every remus body
but there’s something about this one that sirius has an incredibly soft spot for
first of all, in bed remus is so warm
remus likes to wrap his broad shoulders around sirius’ smaller ones and stroke his hair
and his tummy
he has a little bulge where that abdomen line used to be and sirius cannot control himself
he loves to snake his arms around his waist and touch any exposed skin he can find
he always finds himself resting his head on top of remus’ stomach at this time
and sirius loves to be carried at this point
cause his arms are all soft and he fills out his jumpers a bit more
so it just makes sense for sirius to love, who doesn’t want a very cuddly form of transportation?
nonetheless, sirius loves remus no matter his weight
(he finds him very sexy at all moon phases)
Day 5 + 6: Mistletoe Sparkle
December 25, 1976 (Prompt from @remus-john-lupin that I had forgotten to mention the past three days - ADHD/ADD, depression, and 2020 have been hitting like a freight train mixed with a semi truck... my brain is not okay)
“Come on, Pads! Just take Moony through the back door.” James whined through the landline. He heard Sirius huff through the other side.
“Fine, Prongs. I will take him through the back door.” Sirius gave in. “We are almost done here at his parents. We will be there shortly.”
“What did he want?” Remus asked, wrapping his scarf around his neck.
“Go through the back door of the manor.” Sirius sighed, lacing his fingers through Remus’. “We are okay, right?”
Remus placed a soft kiss on his boyfriend’s lips. “Yes, baby. Do not worry. I promised you through thick and thin on our third date, one year ago.” Remus then led him out the cottage door. “Now come on! Let’s have some fun, forget about this stuff for now.”
Sirius sighed for the third time that night as he threw himself into the seat of Remus’ car. “Babe, please. I hate that you never want to actually talk through things, I know that this bothered you and I am trying to apologize. It was not my fault though, Peter needed a book from the library and Snape overheard. Yes, I know I need to be more careful but it was nine o’clock! No one should be roaming the halls then, we only do-”
Remus leant over the console and kissed Sirius hard. He let go, leaning his forehead against Sirius’. “I forgive you. I do not believe anything that slime ball says. I know that we are rough on him, but honestly people are seeing it all wrong. It was an accident, and you have taught me that they happen. Yes, I still struggle being a wolf and being around all these peers in our classes, but as long as I have you guys…” he paused, shrugging as he turned the corner. “I’m alright. Please stop worrying about it, we are still friends, I’m still your boyfriend, and I love you.”
“I love you too.” Sirius smiled, still a little uncomfortable for what had happened.
A few moments later they were walking through Euphemia’s garden to the backdoor, hand in hand. Sirius pushed through the back door with Remus trailing behind. Remus noticed it first, the mistletoe hanging in the middle of the bridge. He groaned. Sirius chuckled.
Sirius spun him around then whispered in Remus’ ear. “I have a bad feeling about this.”
“Just kiss me.” Remus laughed.
“Happy to.” Sirius smiled, wrapping his arms tightly around his boyfriend’s middle as Remus’ arms went up to wrap around his neck.
Lily and James were upstairs when they had entered. Lily was peering over one side of the banister bridge as James stood in the entryway of the hall peering over the other side of the banister. Once their friends had made it underneath and had embraced each other, they both threw a small cup of glitter on each of their heads.
They both laughed as they ran down the stairs, the collective unhappy groans coming from both boys. Sirius spoke first.
“Lily, Prongs! You got glitter in my hair!” Sirius whined as Remus doubled over laughing. Sirius shook his head and growled. “This does not come out well.”
“Does it-” James paused to control his laughter. “Ahem, does it-” He started laughing again, finally calming down and resting his arm on Sirius’ shoulder.
“Does it make you feel better knowing that it is rainbow glitter?” James said in between laughs before lunging for the backdoor to try and escape Sirius’ wrath.

Remus always finds himself slipping a hand under Sirius shirt to run his hand over Sirius skin when they're just sitting around. Sirius loves it because Remus hand is so soft and gentle but he has rough calluses and the feel sends chills through Sirius every single time.
"They're absolutely perfect Moons." Sirius smiles softly as he looks down at the little infant in Remus's arms. The newborn opens their storm gray eyes slowly, smiling as they do.
"That they are Pads." Remus leans forward slightly and kisses his husband on the forehead. "We are going to be a perfect, little family."
"Well, perhaps not little for too long." Sirius's smile even more at the thought of having a big family with the man he loves. Little kids playing outside in their yard on warm day, laughing with the biggest grins on their face. Remus reading them bed time stories as they yawn sleepily. Play dates with James and Lily's children. Finally his wishes for a family with Remus were coming true.
"I would love that" Remus takes Sirius's hand in his own, and for a moment, all of their problems melt away. It's just the two of them and their little baby, and everything is absolutely perfect.
