“learn your lesson”
written for day 4 of august microfic challenge for @wolfstarmicrofic with the prompt “sunburn”
439 words!
“Moony it hurts. It hurts so much” Sirius whines. He, earlier that day, had learned the unfortunate consequences of what happens when you forget sunscreen on a hot sunny day. His shoulders, back, arms, legs, face, you name it, were burnt.
Remus was sitting on the toilet, and Sirius on the ground right in front of him and Remus was currently rubbing aloe vera that they picked up from the muggle pharmacy on his burns. “I know baby, I’m sorry.” Remus murmurs, soothing Sirius.
“Ah, ah” He winces, Remus rubs a bit too hard on a really red spot.
“I’m sorry Siri, but this is necessary so that it’ll soothe the burns and help it heal faster.” He supplies, trying to get Sirius to understand.
“But Moony, I’d-“
Remus cut him off. “Sirius, you’d rather what? Get skin cancer or melanoma instead of suffer for a minute or two.” He chides. “Just a minute more ok?”
“Mkay Moons.” Sirius responds, a little dreary and tired.
Remus rubs the last little bit into his shoulders. “Ok, you’re done.”
Sirius stands up, “Thank you Moony,” Sirius says with a genuine smile on his face.
“You’re more than welcome Siri, but I have just one more thing.”
Sirius rolls his eyes. “And what would that be?”
“What was the lesson learned today?”
“Moony loves me and will do anything for me?” Sirius sneakily responds.
Remus rolls his eyes and responds. “Mmm also correct, but that’s not quite the answer I’m looking for.”
“Don’t go out in the sun, ever, ever again?”
“Siri.” Remus looks up at him and puts his hands on his hips, still sitting on the toilet.
Sirius sighs, but answers: “Wear sunscreen and reapply if you’re going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time.”
“Thank-“ Remus starts. But Sirius isn’t quite finished speaking.
“Even though your partner put on 30 spf once and I had to put on 70 spf. You should have told me!” He exclaims.
“Siri it’s not my fault that you’re as pale as a ghost.”
“Well it’s not my fault you’re not.” Sirius juts out his lip.
“Sirius, let’s not.” Remus says, not in the mood to get into a pointless quarrel with Sirius over the fact that they’re different ethnicities.
“Remussss” Sirius whines. Again.
Remus just stands up and kisses his forehead. “I love you.” He murmurs.
“I love you too Moons.” Sirius replies
Remus washes his hands and turns back to Sirius who is now waiting by the doorframe. “All we gotta do now is set alarms throughout the night to reapply the aloe vera.”
Sirius just groans.

Janus Estuaries Vol. 3, 1.25.24
“Midwest Madness"
Pitiless sun, gifting callous uncaring color
Stuttering that tightening embrace
How great even vapor will pause those beams
Raining destruction upon mankind's constructive teams
Rolling hills grant little more than sight
O'er the valleys boiling below
If your hand, from burning star to rock, will stretch
As the scorching hands of time do tick, so the sides will rend and wretch
Forgiveness is not the lights purview
Little is when looking down
Be it hot or cold with tears or naught
The earth will shake, will shiver, enjoying what it got
Beaten brow, beaten Brown, beaten down
Furrowed burrowing beneath the cloud of day
Should you hold me and in your grasp, I crumble
Enraged, I shall forgive, oh, erring sun, for each stumble
Soil, silt, and rock, and clay
Have made these words, thus ours to say

🏄 for Aisling!
Hello Mel!
Thanks for asking, this was fun, allowed me to delve in a lesser-faced headcanon... and made me wish to go to the sea, sigh.
The Lavellans call her Shrimp for this reason.
She put sunscreen on -she prepares it herself- but forgot to put it on another time. Probably got distracted by some fish or animal or whatever and by the time she realised, it was too late.
Now you can cook eggs on her.
Also, she's the one on the beach who brings food and snacks, here she is with her cooler bag.
