#Teddy Lupin goes to Hogwarts
Text
Day 02 of @remadoramicrofics - Cat
“Alright,” Remus said as he, Tonks, and Teddy stepped back into the daylight streaming through Diagon Alley, “all that’s left is a magical companion.”
Tonks clapped her hands excitedly. “Perfect, we’ll get you an owl and then take an ice cream break at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour!” 
“Mum, I want a cat,” Teddy said for what felt like the thousandth time.
“We understand, but an owl would, perhaps, be a little more useful,” Remus tried.
“You know your father and I will have an endless supply of letters to send you,” Tonks added.
“I won’t need an owl for that!” Teddy protested, “Dad will be there everyday. Nan said that I could get whatever I wanted.”
“We know,” Remus sighed, “but a cat is a lot of responsibility. Hogwarts will tend for an owl, but you’d be entirely responsible for a cat – on top of being responsible for your studies.” 
“I’m not a little kid any more, I know!” 
Remus wanted to point out that eleven was far from an adult, but decided to bite down on that fact. 
“What if you’re allergic?” Tonks tried.
Teddy folded his arms in front of himself. “I’ll have to get one first to find out.”
In truth, Remus didn’t think a cat would be a terrible amount of responsibility, nor did they have any reason to believe Teddy to be allergic. Rather, Remus Lupin for the first time in eleven years feared that someone he loved would be irreversibly impacted by his disease. When Teddy had first mentioned getting a cat, he and Tonks had discussed it at length. Most of the conversations involved Tonks taking Teddy’s side while Remus worried that his condition would lead to the cat running off or displaying some other behavioral issues.
This fear had then, rapidly, morphed into the fear that his son would hate him for his condition. And of course, the ever-present fear that Teddy would find himself ostracized or ridiculed for his lineage reared its ugly head. Tonks had spent the last week insisting that was ridiculous, but Remus felt the familiar, isolating anxiety clawing at him now, in a busy street with the two people he loved most in the world.
Teddy folded his arms in front of himself, his roots tinging a deep burgundy color. “Why don’t you want me to get a cat?” 
Tonks, bless her heart, tried to come up with an argument that they hadn’t already rehearsed and given him, but Remus just sighed; he never wanted his son to think his parents were liars. “Teddy, I know you want a cat, and you’re right, I’m sure things would go fine at Hogwarts, but the cat will have to live at home, too and…well, pets and werewolves, especially cats and werewolves don’t always mix. I wouldn’t want to –”
“How do you know?” his son asked.
“Well, I…I just – it’s, what do you mean?”
“We’ve never had a cat, Dad, so how do you know all cats don’t like you?”
“It’s like the old adage – cat’s and dogs, you know,” Tonks said as she rested a hand on their son’s shoulder.
“But some cats and dogs get along and Dad isn’t a dog. Harry said that Uncle James’s anigamus form was a stag and those aren’t typically friends with wolves.”
“That was a little different, Teddy.”
“Well, can’t we just see? I mean, maybe we could meet a few cats before you outlaw one entirely.”
Remus nodded. “Alright, and maybe you could ask Nan about letting the cat stay there during holidays.”
Teddy rolled his eyes at Remus and Remus was struck, not for the first time, at just how much like his mother he looked. “I won’t get a cat that doesn’t like you, Dad.”
“Well, it’s good to have options,” Remus said, though he didn’t miss the look his son and wife shared as he led them to the magical menagerie. 
There wasn’t much room inside. Every inch of wall was hidden by cages. Remus, with his heightened smell and hearing, found the place to be quite overwhelming because the occupants of these cages were all squeaking, squawking, jabbering or hissing.
“What about this one?” Teddy said as he pointed to a tabby orange thing flopped onto its back. “I’d name him Gideon.”
“Because Gideon Crumb is a ginger?” Remus ventured.
“I knew you liked the Weird Sisters,” Tonks said enthusiastically.
“Just because I know a member’s name does not mean I enjoy listening to the two of you belt out the lyrics off-key.” That wasn’t entirely true; while Remus didn’t think either of them had a musical career ahead of them, he did quite enjoy the moments where they’d be cleaning their home and Dora and Teddy would turn every song into a duet.
“Can we see that one?” Remus asked the attendant. She wore heavy black spectacles and looked him up and down warily. 
“It’s his first year and he’s picking out a companion,” Tonks said as she set a hand on Teddy’s shoulder.
“Yeah, he doesn’t really show any prowess,” she said duly as she pulled the cat from the cage and plopped it, rather ungracefully into Teddy’s arms. He immediately morphed his hair to match.
“You have to admit,” Tonks whispered as Teddy headed to one of the sectioned off areas, “They’re rather cute together.”
“He’d be cute next to a boggart, Dora,” Remus returned fondly.
“Mum, Dad, come meet Gideon.”
Remus took a deep breath and held it as he reached his hand out to the orange tabby. To his surprise, Gideon immediately butted his head into Remus’s palm. “I think he likes you,” Tonks said with a grin as she ruffled Teddy’s hair. “So, now that that’s settled, who’s ready for ice cream?”

NO NO HEAR ME OUT
Remus had this plain white, really basic grandpa sweater, okay? And if you wanted to wear it, you had to stitch your initials into the sleeves. So there’s varying degrees of competence of his friends initials on the sleeves.
Sirius, Regulus, Lily and Pandora were all really good at embroidery, so everytime on of them would were it they’d add like, a little flower, or a smiley face, or a star or something to it.
After they all died, he never wore it again.

Back to the start, but this time together
Tumblr media
#250 - Rushing Train, prompt from @flashfictionfridayofficial
Pairing -Sirius/Remus
Warnings - Harry's low self esteem
Words -910
Summary - The occupents of Grimmauld Place are rushing to catch the Hogwarts Express. Its time to take a new trip on the train that hearlded so many changes in all their lives. This time they are going to catch it together. A03 here
Remus stood at the floo and looked around. He knew they were going to be late. They were always late for everything now days.
He cast a quick Sonorus on himself so he could be heard throughout the house. Grimmauld Place had expanded over the years, giving them all what they needed in a home. Including working internal floo places, so Remus didn’t have to climb the now 5 flights of stairs with his bum hip.
“Oy, hurry up you lot. We are going to miss the train,” he called into the house.
He listened with a smile as he heard three pairs of running feet. Two much too old to be acting like it was their first time on the Hogwarts Express.
Not that Remus really minded. He was excited about this year. He hated leaving his family behind when he went to work at Hogwarts like he had been for the last 4 years. Now he didn’t have to.
Teddy had turned 11 and was off to boarding school. Even knowing Minerva wouldn’t allow the same things that happened to Harry to happen to Teddy, Remus had refused to let him go if he didn’t have a close adult on sight.
Minerva had taken it as a challenge.
This year Remus was going back as the History of Magic teacher and the Deputy Head. He was giving up his beloved DADA position, but he couldn’t help but beam when his successor came bounding through the doorway, a beaming smile on his face, hair every which way and his glasses askew.
“You might want t put yourself together before we get tot he platform, Professor,” Remus teased Harry, who blushed as he straightened himself out.
Harry just waved a hand behind him, as though Remus should understand why he looked like he had been tousling.
It turned out it was because he was. Remus rolled his eyes as Sirius Lupin walked through the doorway, looking magnificent for a 50-year-old man. Not that they could say that number around his delicate ears.
“Can you believe it, Moony mine? Prongslet tried to lock me in my room. Apparently it would be funny to see the new Charms professor come into the feast late,” Sirius said, a faux glare on his face as he turned, hands on his hips as he stared Harry down.
“Oh please, as if you wouldn’t have enjoyed the attention. Where is Teddy?” Remus said as he nudged Sirius towards the floo, looking for his son.
“He’s packing some last-minute supplies,” Harry said.
“What supplies?” Remus suddenly said, as he turned to look at Harry suspiciously.
“Just stuff he needs for Hogwarts. Don’t worry Moony, I helped him pack,” Harry said with a beaming grin.
“That’s what I’m worried about,” Remus sighed as he watched Teddy come in, his hair bright yellow, no surprise what House he wanted to get into.
Sirius walked over and helped Teddy with his trunk, accepting the hug the boy seemed to dish out so easily. Something that the three men had never experienced, even at his age.
“Thanks Pads, it’s heavy,” Teddy said, smiling softly.
“Its all right Teddy Bear, come on, we’re almost late,” Sirius said as he placed a kiss n Teddy’s head before taking the trunk and walking through the floo, Teddy on his heels.
“I think he loves that boy more than me,” Harry said with a laugh and a smile.
Remus knew he was joking, knew he didn’t mean it, but he instantly whipped around and grabbed Harry’s shoulders. It didn’t matter how broad he got, how filled out, how he aged, he was still the little boy Remus and Sirius had adored before he had even been born; he was the boy they had fought and literarily died (and came back) for.
“He loves you more than anyone in the world, Harry, including me. The wonderful thing about Sirius is he is made of love and loyalty, but I promise he doesn’t love Teddy more, he doesn’t love me more. He knows I can and will protect Teddy from the world. So even now, even with you as a grown man, you will always be the one he protects first, the one he thinks of first. For Sirius, you have been his first thought for 28 years. It won’t end now, it never will.” Remus said earnestly. Wanting Harry to understand, even now, the depths of Sirius’ love for the boy. All of their love for the boy.
“Ok Moony,” Harry said shyly.
Remus sighed, even a decade of counseling and self esteem work couldn’t get rid of the insidious voice that told Harry he was unwanted, that he was the last choice, that he was here to be used, not to be loved the way they did.
“Come on Prongslet, we have a new chapter in our lives. One we are entering together, ok?” Remus said as he gently squeezed Harry’s shoulder.
“I’m glad we can stay together this year,” Harry mumbled.
“Me too, cub, me too. Now come on, Sirius will hold the train up if we are any later and it will be me Minerva sends the howler too,” Remus said as he ushered him towards the floo.
Harry couldn’t help but laugh as he took the next step on his life journey, one that took him back to where it all began. But this time, he had his family by his side.

aus where r/s have a kid are a little strange to me sorry. because well s okay i sort of get it but r? what about that man makes you think he would a) want a child b) be a good father to one. be real
#when i say aus i also mean the child she made him father in the canon material. which never shouldve happened#teddy lupin means nothing to me. those are just words. there is no residual fondness left over from my affection for his father#sorry but even if they got married. i dont think theyre having kids. that seems like such a strange next move for them i cannot imagine the#wanting that#r endangered every child in hogwarts incuding his dead best friends son so as not to damage his reputation with the big boss. and now you#have to understand i dont see that as any sort of crime because i dont give a shit about any of those kids if it was up to me#he wouldve eaten harry when he got the chance. but the principle of it does not scream to me 'man who should have a child :-('#as much as i HATE to acknowledge the existence of hjp. he was kid enough for s i think and i grant you he was a good parental figure to him#but like. for him and his loser boyfriend to go out of their way to have a child. feels unlikely ill level with you. but this might all jus#be my disinterest in kidfic showing. i think im right though#like its one thing to take h in as the orphan son of ur dead friend in canon. but like in aus...hm.#its the same as i feel about them proposing to each other. said it b4 but i cannot imagine either of them planning some big heavily#orchestrated candles and roses down on one knee proposal. that is not them its just not. if they DO get married its because they are#brushing their teeth together and one of them goes we should get married and the other one goes what? and the first one says we should#get married again and the other one goes take your toothbrush out of your mouth i cant understand what youre saying like that. and the#first one takes their toothbrush out and repeats i SAID we should get MARRIED and the other one goes oh okay. if you'd like#anyway. this post got away from me no one is reading these tags are they jeez#r/s

dad!headcanons — harry potter ♡
requested by @inthehoneymoonwithconnorrk800 <3
harry potter x fem!reader, dad!harry, headcanons, fluff, headcanons for biological and adopted children
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
harry potter as a dad
biological children
•harry wasn’t sure if he wanted kids. he hadn’t had the best examples of parenting, he was never around young children or babies
•but when you came to him, pregnant, it felt like (almost) all of his worries fizzled. they weren’t as important as you, and the child you’d created together
•he visited his parents’ graves when he found out. to say hi, to ask for advice, to maybe just tell them they were going to be grandparents
•goes to see andromeda tonks too, where she’s raising teddy lupin. realises how much this child is something he wants
•when the time comes, he’s an amazing father
•splits responsibilities with you, never lets you end up doing everything
•has such a bond with his kid, and it’s not long before he’s tentatively bringing up the subject of more
•toys everywhere, he’s not a must-be-tidy-at-all-times dad. we’re talking magical train sets, muggle rubber ducks, doll houses, push cars, everything he passes in a shop somewhere
•naturally such a girl dad, but he is so happy with a little boy too. anything he can love
•makes such a big deal out of birthdays, really goes overboard
•raised around so many cousins and friends, massive family times, so many game nights gone wrong
•sincerely apologizing for the attention being a potter will bring his family, but they don’t really mind. at least he’s famous for a good thing
•as they get older, and they’re off to hogwarts, of course he’s missing them. he doesn’t want to stifle them, but the letters are twice a week, at least
•and your kids were raised well, with love, so they have no problem writing back to them all, and they know their home is always a safe place
•harry sleeps well at night knowing he created the home he wanted
•will cry at their weddings, if they happen
adopted children
•three scenarios — you’ve had a biological child, you want more, and for whatever reason that is, you two decide to adopt (harry’s fully supportive of this)
•or, for whatever personal reasons, you can’t or don’t want a biological child (harry’s fully supportive of this)
•or, not long after the war, the wizarding world is still overrun with orphans. there are leaflets everywhere begging couples to adopt. you wanted to expand your family as it was, and harry’s worries were overcome both by his previously mentioned visits, and his desire to not let voldemort ruin the lives of any more children
•whatever it is, he loves them like his own. because they are his own.
•all the prior headcanons, because nothing changes for either of you. your family may not be nuclear, but why should it have to be?
•if anyone pokes fun at their adoption, you best believe harry is up there like a flash to get someone seriously scolded, and you aren’t far behind him
•when the time comes to tell your kids, harry is perfect with it. he knows what to say. you don’t leave it too long either, harry knows what it is to feel lied to about your family
•if any relationships struggle around that time, the strain is physically clear on harry. but he waits for them to be ready, knowing how personal it is
in conclusion
•in any situation, harry loves his children
•he’s a good dad. nobody is perfect, he’ll maks mistakes, but not with the gravity of the one’s he feared

“He had it coming to him,” said Harry. Broken images were racing each other through his mind: Sirius falling through the veil; Dumbledore suspended, broken, in midair; a flash of green light and his mother’s voice, begging for mercy … “Parents,” said Harry, “shouldn’t leave their kids unless — unless they’ve got to.”
Harry looked down at his feet, thinking of his father. Would James have backed Harry in what he had said to Lupin, or would he have been angry at how his son had treated his old friend?
I think this is a perfect estimation of how Harry sees Remus and Sirius’ influence in his life. Sirius is the person who’ll always come when Harry calls, Sirius is the person who’ll come bursting into Hogwarts and will sit in Grimmauld if Harry needed him to. Sirius is the one Harry writes pages upon pages of letters to sharing every little thing that goes on with him. Sirius is the one who wouldn’t leave him unless he had no other choice.
Lupin is James’ friend and Harry’s teacher who Harry ought to treat well for those positions he holds. Lupin is not the Godfather Harry should have had. He had plenty of opportunities to be the parental figure needed. But it’s too late. Harry’s found him wanting as Teddy’s parent let alone his own. Harry shouldn’t have worried what James would think about his treatment of Remus. Remus should have been the one worrying about what James would think about Remus’ treatment of his son.
There’s no world where he and Sirius are equal in Harry’s estimation let alone love.

@carlav-blogs and the Discord bullied me into this. An AU where the Marauders are all professors at Hogwarts, and the students can’t figure out who is dating who. @theresthesnitch has also written a fic in this ‘verse, and @carlav-blogs has done art for it. I am just jumping on the bandwagon :) 
----
“Hey, James.” Remus sticks his head in the Astronomy classroom. “Do you have plans for lunch?”
“I’ve got some seventh year essays to grade.” James looks up from the parchment he’s bent over. There’s a smudge of ink across his nose. “Why?”
“Want to go make out behind Greenhouse Four?” 
James tosses his quill on the desk. “Absolutely.” 
It takes fifteen minutes for someone to catch them, a second-year who gasps when she rounds the corner to see Professor Potter snogging Professor Lupin. Remus pulls away from James long enough to wink at her, and she scurries off. 
“Good?” James says breathlessly. 
“We’ve still got fifteen minutes,” Remus says. “No reason to stop now.” 
He returns to class that afternoon with rumpled robes and messy hair, and his students spend the rest of the week whispering about it. 
---
Remus is in the middle of a tutoring session one Thursday evening when Lily pokes her head in his office. 
“There you are,” she says, coming into the room with a steaming goblet. She sets it on his desk. “Drink that right away.”
“Thanks, love.” He gives her a quick kiss on the lips. The third-year he’s tutoring tonight gives a tiny little squeak, and Remus smirks to himself, knowing that more rumors will be flying by dinnertime. 
---
“Lupin.” 
Remus looks up, startled, and sees Regulus standing in front of him, hands on his hips. 
“We’ve known each other for twenty years, Reg. I think you can call me by my first name by now.”
“No,” Regulus says bluntly. 
“Okay,” Remus says. “Did you need something?”
“Yes, I need you and your freakishly long limbs to get that book down for me.” Regulus points to the bookcase behind them. Remus gets up from the table he’s commandeered in the library and goes over to the bookcase. “The one with the red spine.” 
Remus rests a hand on the small of Regulus’s back as he reaches up to pull the book down. When he hands it to Regulus, he leans down and brushes his lips over Regulus’s cheek. “Anything else, sweetheart?”
Regulus steps back and clears his throat, his cheekbones dusted with pink. Behind him, a group of sixth years are shamelessly watching the whole exchange, eyes wide. “N-no, thank you, that’s it.” 
He practically flees the library.
---
Sirius has him backed against the wall of the cupboard, his hands under Remus’s teaching robes while he sucks a mark into Remus’s neck. He rolls his hips, and Remus moans, grateful that he’d remembered to throw up a silencing spell the moment Sirius pulled him in here. 
“Yeah, Pads, like that,” he says breathlessly. It’s like being fifteen all over again, rendezvousing with Sirius in various parts of the castle after curfew. 
The cupboard door opens, flooding the tiny space with light, and Remus yelps while Sirius curses against his throat. They both turn their heads to see a wide-eyed fifth-year Prefect gaping at them. 
“S-sorry, Professors!” they stammer. “It’s, um. It’s after curfew?” 
“Yes, thank you, Melinda.” Sirius reaches out to grab the edge of the door. “Excellent job. Good night, now.” 
He swings the door shut again, this time locking it with a wandless spell. 
---
Teddy drops into the seat next to Harry at lunch with a huff and slams a piece of parchment on the table.
“They’re at it again,” he complains. 
Harry scans the parchment. It’s a list of all the times in the past few weeks their parents have been spotted being affectionate with each other, including locations, times, and a description of what happened. He winces as he reads about Sirius and Remus being caught in a cupboard, apparently seconds away from shagging--he didn’t need to know that. 
The student body has been trying to figure out which professor is involved with whom since he was a first year. He’d thought they’d lose interest after a while, but five years later, the rumors are still going strong, and none of the professors seem to care. In fact, Harry is convinced that most of them are doing everything they can to fuel the speculation.
At the head table, James feeds Sirius a bit of pie from his own fork. Sirius makes a show of eating it, and then kisses James on the cheek, setting off a new wave of titters. 
“You get used to it,” Harry says, and Teddy scowls. 
“Our parents are so embarrassing.”

“Curse you and your bloody skinny jeans,” James grumbles as he struggles to get the stubborn fabric down over Sirius’s knees, but with some more jostling and a lot of swearing, he can finally toss the stupid things into a corner and admire Sirius the way he was always meant to be admired—naked and just for James. Pulling off his own shirt as well, James savours the way Sirius’s eyes follow his every move, lids heavy and pupils blown with desire.

What's four more?
Tumblr media
Summary: What happens when the beloved Loki the cat goes missing for two weeks. Once he comes back, everyone’s relieved, thinking the chaos was over. But two months later a little surprise pops up on their doorstep.
Pairing: Fred Weasley x reader, Remus Lupin x Sirius Black
Warning: missing pet
Word count: 2.1k words
A/n: ik it's been about a week or so since this was requested, so sorry it took so long, my exams and projects were being a bitch but now they're over. Also thank you for sending this request, it is honestly such a cute thing that I was really excited to write it, tho I sorta focused more on Loki going missing for a bit.
"Love, have you seen Loki anywhere?" You asked Fred as you entered your room after having spent the last 30 minutes looking through every nook and cranny in the cottage.
Fred, who had been hidden away in your room to brainstorm new product ideas, had just noticed the absence of the very lovable cat. Fred had the tendency to lose track of time when he's busy planning and brainstorming pranking ideas.
"No, I haven't....which is odd."
It was very odd indeed. Anyone who's met Loki, knows that he's a very clingy and lovable cat. Which meant he was either bugging someone for cuddles and head scratches or following you around like a baby duckling. If it's neither of them, then he's probably off sleeping in his favourite napping spots. But even then, when you went to look for him there, he was nowhere to be found.
"Yeah, I checked everywhere. His favourite napping bookshelf, the kitchen cupboards, the laundry room, I even checked the bloody roof for Merlin's sake and he's not there." You ranted as you began to pace back and forth. Never have you been away from Loki this long.
Even when you guys were at Hogwarts, he would always find a way to get to you. Appearing randomly in the middle of charms or greeting you at the entrance of the transfiguration classroom. He never failed to make a random appearance every 30-40 minutes of being apart.
"What if he ran away?" You theorised with a worried look.
"Loki? Run away? Are you daft? That cat would rather face God himself than runaway from you." Fred assured as he got up from his desk and towards you.
"What if he got catnapped..." You suggested, your ramblings only went down hill from there.
Going from getting catnapped to a theory that maybe one one of Voldemort's minions got their hands of Loki and is gonna use him for ransom in exchange for Harry. To which you contemplated on actually giving Harry away in exchange for Loki.
"I mean Harry can handle himself, Loki can't and-"
"Love-"
"Loki just hates strangers so he'd-"
"Love-"
"go absolutely feral if he was placed in that situation-" You only continued Fred's calls as the worrying thoughts began to drown you.
"Y/N!"
Finally after a few minutes of worry filled ramblings, Fred finally got through to you. You probably would have sunk to the floor if you didn't have him to keep you upright.
"Everything is going to be fine. Teddy and your dads are going to be home before dinner, meaning we still have some time to search around the house and maybe even the nearby places in the forest. When they get here, we can ask them to help us look for him. Okay?"
Fred was trying his hardest to keep you as calm as you could. He knew that if anything were to happen to Loki, you would fall apart. You loved that cat like it was your own child.
You slowly nodded as you tried to slow down your breathing. It felt like your thoughts were going 100 miles per hour and everything was a mess.
You both started to look through the whole house again. It didn't hurt to double check things. Then your search stretched all the way out to the woods by the time Sirius, Remus and Teddy came back home.
When you broke the news to them, they immediately panicked. Sirius especially, he was almost as worried as you were. He himself started frantically looking everywhere around the house and even offered to try and "catch his scent" in his animagus form to try and look for him.
By the end of the night you had ended your search by the lake near the cottage. There was no sign of him anywhere. And it wasn't like you could ask any nearby neighbours seeing as you lived in the middle of nowhere with zero neighbours. Literally miles away from the closest town.
(time skip for 2 weeks)
It's been about two whole weeks since you last saw Loki and you basically lost all hope in finding him. You've left out missing cat posters at the nearby town but knowing Loki, he tends to stray away from crowded places.
Loki was the only pet you and Teddy ever had so it was hard to process it.
You deeply missed him and were starting to wonder about the possibility that he was...dead.
The mere thought brought a chill down your spine and tears to your eyes. You didn't want to think he was dead. Loki was a big part of your world and you loved him with all your heart.
Ever since the moment you found him in that little box that rainy night. You just knew that that little guy was going to be part of your family.
You went out to the garden to rethink possible places Loki could have gone. Even though you and the others have exhausted all options and locations possible. There was still hope he could have gone somewhere and was simply trying to find his way back home.
You sat down under the shade of a tree. You closed your eyes as you took in a deep breath. For a moment, you felt something soft and fluffy land on your lap. You thought you were imagining things but you started to feel the fluffy thing begin to purr and even let out a soft meow.
Your eyes shot open as you realized what it was.
"LOKI!?!!"
Your scream echoed through the house which called the attention of the two adults and child who were sitting in the living room.
"Is it really you, bud?!?!" You still couldn't believe your eyes but the moment you saw the dark green collar, you knew it was him.
You pulled him into your arms, noting the amount of dirt and twigs in his fur but you didn't mind, you were too overjoyed at the fact he was back to even realise it.
"We've been looking everywhere for you, bud, you can't just run off like that. Merlin knows what kind of mischief could have happened wherever you were." You cooed as you held the black cat tightly in your arms, scared he might run off again.
A head of blue hair poked through the back door. With a wide grin on Teddy's face. His eyes lit up at the sight of Loki.
He wasn't as close to Loki as you were but he adored the cat nonetheless. He ran to you and joined the two of you in a hug.
Then followed a very excited Sirius who nearly tripped on his way out the door and a cheery Remus who chuckled at the sight before he reached the little reunion going on.
Sirius may have not been too keen on having a cat before but ever since Loki entered their lives, he had a change of heart.
“Where the bloody hell has he been?!” Sirius asked as he knelt down and expected the cat.
“I have no idea but it looks like he’s been roughing it for the last few weeks.” You stated as you lifted up Loki’s paws to see his paws literally coated in dirt and mud.
“Poor boy, let’s give you a bath.” Sirius stated as he lifted Loki out of your arms and walked off to the bathroom. 
“See, you didn’t have to worry about anything. Other than the dirt, he looks completely untouched.” Remus stated as he pulled both you and Teddy off the ground.
You nodded your head with a chuckle, “Yeah, I guess you were right. I should go write to Freddie that Loki’s home.” 
(2 months later)
You were going about your day in the Kitchen. You planned on making a cake and Fred volunteered to help out.
You chuckled at the sight of Fred covered in flour, sugar, eggs and some frosting. It looked more like he got most of the cake ingredients on him rather than in the bowl.
You looked a similar way since Fred decided to have a food fight since it didn’t seem fair that you barely had a speck of flour on your apron while he had the entire bag of flour on him.
Your attention was brought somewhere else when you heard a series of meowing coming from the front door.
You peeked your head through the archway to see Loki standing by the door as he scratched on the surface. He looked like he wanted to go out. 
You dusted off the flour from your hands and opened the door for him, but you froze when you looked down at the sight that sat on your doorstep.
“....uh, Fred! Can you come here for a second!” You called out to your boyfriend, not taking your eyes at the scene before you.
Fred rested his hand on your shoulder as he peaked over to the doorstep, “What is it lov- why is there a bunch of kittens and a cat on your doorstep?” 
“I-uh...I have no idea.” 
You looked down at the three kittens and mama cat and saw Loki go up to her and began to cuddle into her side.
“You don’t think….Oh merlin.” You cursed under your breath as you started to connect the dots.
You could even see the little similarities between the litter to Loki. It looked like they were only a few days old. It was a wonder how the mama cat even got them to your front door. The fact that Loki was cuddling into the mama cat said it all. Loki rarely ever goes near other animals. He’s terrified of them.
“Can you call dad and papa…And grab a warm towel too.” You stated as you slowly knelt down and examined the little group.
“Oh merlin, what are we going to do with you lot.” You sighed as you slowly reached out to the kittens. Making sure to check if it was okay with the mother cat.
Once she knew it was safe to touch them, you reached out the three kittens and felt the soft fur.
The mother cat had white fur with grey stripes across it which was quite contrasting to Loki’s black fur.
One of the kittens looked almost exactly like Loki as a kitten. The other two kittens looked more like their mama.
“What is it little wol-”
Sirius nearly dropped the ceramic plate he had in his hands when he saw the litter of kittens.
“What in Godrick’s name is this?!?!” Sirius asked as slowly walked closer to the kittens.
Fred handed you the warm towel before Sirius pushed him out of the way while handing the ceramic plate to Fred so he could get a peak of the adorable kittens.
“Oh merlin, don’t let Teddy see the-” Remus winced as he heard the footsteps coming up from behind him.
“Don’t let me see what?” Teddy wondered as he stood behind the group.
The boy pushed through the group and let out a yelp when he saw what Remus was trying to hide from him.
“Holy guacamole on a tortilla chip, is that what I think it is?!?!” Teddy’s eyes were as wide as tennis balls.
The group chuckled at the boy’s peculiar choice of words. 
“Yes, now move out of the way. We need to take them out of this freezing cold weather.” You stated as you gently carried the kittens into the warmth of the cottage.
As you walked on, the mama cat and Loki began to follow you through the home.
“Are they Loki’s? And if so, can we keep them, even the mama cat? Cause if we can keep them I want to name them. That mama cat should be called Astra, That sounds so pretty. That black one should be Loki 2.0- wait no that’s a horrible name. I’ll get back to him. These other two should be named after Apollo and Artemis- OH! The black one should be Hades! Yes that’s perfect-”
“Don’t get attached, Teddy. We’re not even sure if we can keep them. It’s up to papa and dad, you know that.” You reminded your brother.
Teddy turned to both his dads with so much excitement, you would have thought he was having a sugar rush.
“Pleeeaaase! Can we keep them?” Teddy was going through all the stops. Pouting his lips and looking up at your parents with his “Puppy dog eyes” that he learned from your dear papa.
Sirius and Remus shared a look and for a moment, you could tell they were having a little conversation of their own. After a few seconds the two adults decided on the verdict.
“What’s four more?”

Rec: Hogwarts Houses Divided (Gen-Teddy Lupin) 197K by @inverarity-the-writer
This is an old fic from 2007, that @inverarity-the-writer, has just recently posted to AO3. It's been backdated to 2007, which I think limited its readership so far. Many HP Gen readers know the author from the Alexandra Quick Series (1.15M) a story about an American OC in the Wizarding World that started in 2007 and updates every 3-4 years. The latest update Part 6 just came a few days ago. The series has a niche but very loyal following. But I want to talk about this Teddy Lupin fic! Summary: The war is over, and all is well, they say, but the wounds remain unhealed. Bitterness divides the Houses of Hogwarts. Can the first children born since the war's end begin a new era, or will the enmities of their parents be their permanent legacy? Comments: This fic has all of the charm of a fic written right after the release of HPDH. Not all of the additional canon info was known but a little was. It's unlike most nextgen fics I've read, it takes place when Teddy Lupin begins Hogwarts. He becomes fast friends with three other characters that are in the same Hogwarts Express Compartment as he is. Dewey Diggory (Cedric's brother born after his death), Kai Chang (Cho Chang's half brother), and my fav, Violet Parkinson (daughter of Pansy and Draco, though they never married and Pansy is still off the rails. FYI She was pregnant during the last Battle.)
All is not well at Hogwarts. Bitterness over the war and which sides the kids' parents were still spills over to the kids. It's ugly and worse than it's ever been. The Headmistress and Staff try to get a handle on it, but Teddy views it as not being fair at all. He's got strong characteristics of both his parents and a heavy influence from his godfather Harry. The plot, which is strong, begins with a mystery of wands being stolen from students. The direction it goes is surprising and the D.A. is reformed. You'll cheer for Teddy and his friends, and your heart will break for a few others. The Marauder's Map makes a strong appearance, and the moments where Harry, the Weasleys, Cho, Pansy and Draco pop-in are terrific.
So, if you're up for some strong nostalgia, and a first year adventure story, this will entertain you from start to finish.
Just a side note: This maybe the first fic I've read where Professor Binns plays an important role.

Day 11 of @remadoramicrofics - That's Disgusting
Remus watched lovingly as Tonks prompted Teddy through the platform. He smiled as Teddy braced himself and set off for the wall before disappearing. Remus glanced around one last time before slipping through after them. As soon as he passed through, he was assaulted by a barrage of noise. Parents stood with their children – some fighting to get away and some clinging to their legs.
Teddy turned to him. “Do you take the train, Da?”
“No, I have to be there early – someone has to welcome you!” When Teddy had turned six, Minerva had arrived at the Lupins’ doorstep with a job offer, noting that Remus would no longer need to be a stay-at-home father.
Remus had politely refused, hoping to spare her the criticism Dumbledore had received following his hire. Minerva was insistent, though, and had roped Dora in on it. Eventually, he had agreed to return to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts on the condition that he could commute from Hogsmeade.
Teddy looked at his mother with wide eyes. “Do you think if I change my hair, the hat will let me pick my house?”
“Which house do you want?”
Teddy froze and Remus watched his hair dull from a vibrant teal to an icy blue. “I don’t know, which one do you think I should pick?”
“It doesn’t matter what house you’re in, Teddy,” Remus assured him with a hand on his shoulder. 
“You and Harry were in Gryffindor,” he pointed out.
Remus shrugged. “Yes, but your mother was a Hufflepuff and your Nan a Slytherin. Luna and Penelope were both Ravenclaws.”
“There’s no bad house,” Dora stressed.
Teddy nodded resolutely. “Alright.”
Tonks grinned. “Want us to walk you on the train?”
“No,” he said quickly and set off a few paces ahead of them, muttering, “how embarrassing.”
“Can you believe that our baby’s all grown up? I suppose that makes you a bit of an old man,” Dora teased.
Remus rolled his eyes. “He’s hardly all grown up.” He smiled at her. “Thinking of trading me in for a younger model?”
“Oh, you know I would never,” she smacked him playfully as they followed Teddy. It was getting a bit harder to keep up with him; he had pulled a hat over his head. As of late, his hair had been cycling through house colors while his eyes remained a steely gray. Dora had told Remus that the same happened to her the night before she left – she had been so overwhelmed she could control her morphs.
“Harry!” Remus said as he embraced his son’s Godfather. “Glad you could make it.”
“Are you kidding? I wouldn’t miss seeing my Godson off to Hogwarts.” Harry looked Teddy over. “A bit nervous, are we?”
Teddy shrugged. “Maybe.”
“He’s worried about the sorting,” Dora whispered.
“Oh, nothing to worry about there,” Harry said, “It doesn’t hurt a bit.”
Remus found himself chuckling at the joke. Harry had always looked like James, but lately Remus noticed he had begun to act a bit more like him, too. Sometimes, it was painfully hard to watch – especially the older Harry got, knowing his father had never reached that milestone.
He had felt that way the night he had come home from the battle – he was married, with a son he would raise, but he had spent the whole night wondering if he had deserved it. James and Sirius had never had such opportunities and they were far more deserving, could have been far better at it. When he had confessed these feelings to Nymphadora on a particularly sleepless night, he thought, for just a moment, that she was going to literally knock some sense into him.
She had simply pulled him close and insisted that everyone deserved to be happy and loved – it wasn’t something he had to earn – and that, really, his friends would only want the best for him. More surprisingly, though, she told him that she understood. That the ministry used to harp about survivor’s guilt after missions but that she had never really felt it until that night.
Remus was brought back to the conversation by Dora’s gentle hand on his arm. Teddy was rolling his eyes at something Harry had said and Harry was grinning at them. Remus, despite his usual hesitance at public displays of affection, pulled Dora into a quick kiss. “I love you,” he whispered.
“I love you more,” she said as she pulled him into another.
They broke apart at Teddy’s indignant protests. “Mum, Da, stop! That’s disgusting!”
Remus chuckled and ducked his head to hide his blush but Dora just laughed. “Oh, just you wait, your Nan used to give me a big kiss on the cheek right before she’d put me on the train.” 
She lunged for him, but Harry grabbed her. “Run, Teddy, I’ll hold her off!”
Teddy looked like he was considering it, but Remus caught a hold of his arm, “There will be no more embarrassing Teddy,” he declared, calling a truce between the three of them. “But you are required to give your mother and I a hug before you board.”
“A side hug,” he bartered.
“A real hug,” he insisted, “or I’ll let her kiss both your cheeks and sneak her into the sorting.”
“You wouldn’t,” Harry cried as Dora pulled out of his grip.
“Don’t test me,” he warned playfully.
“Fine,” Teddy reluctantly agreed, though he hugged his father tight.
“We’re so proud of you,” Remus whispered as he squeezed his son back, “And we always will be.”
Dora sniffled as she held him tight. “You better write to me or I’ll send a howler of me singing,” she threatened.
“I promise,” Teddy said.
“Want help with your things?” Harry asked.
“Sure,” Teddy said as he bounded for the train.
Dora turned to him, slack-jawed. “Can you believe him?”
Remus grinned at her. “Can you blame him; we’re old and embarrassing.”
“Speak for yourself,” she said as she pulled him into another kiss.

hey💕 do you happen to have some tonks and teddy headcanons? i never see headcanons with them, since it's always about teddy and remus (not that i don't LOVE them, it's just that i would like to see the other side too) have a great day🤍
this is a GREAT ask. Dad!Remus is popular, but Mum!Tonks doesn't get the love she deserves. Let's gooooooo! (Caveat: a lot of these are for an AU in which Tonks survives)
Tonks gets a Weird Sisters onesie for Teddy to wear immediately after he's born. He poops right through it.
The only cleaning spell Tonks masters is for nappies, out of sheer necessity.
Tonks and Teddy's moods and hair colors are similar; when they're both angry, it goes red or orange. When they're asleep, midnight blue. But their happy colors differ, pink and turquoise, and it's very easy to tell when Teddy is unhappy.
Remus decided Teddy's name, after Ted Tonks. His middle name was going to be Sirius, but Tonks decided last minute it would be Remus, because she wanted her son to be named after the two most important wizards in her life. Edward Remus Lupin.
At first, Tonks is afraid to hold Teddy because she's clumsy, but surprisingly, she's never clumsy when she has Teddy in her arms. She calls him her lucky charm.
Teddy likes to change his hair color based on who he sees. To challenge him, Tonks makes her hair multiple colors and watches Teddy's hair look like a confused rainbow.
Teddy is really chatty when he's little, like Tonks. But he's got more of Remus' personality, so he gets concerned over little things, like if something is out of order. He likes to correct people if they say or do something wrong. It drives Tonks crazy but she loves him anyway.
Teddy likes story time with Remus, but he LOVES it with Tonks, because she does voices and noses for all the animals or people in the stories. He learns to copy and then they both have a ton of fun reading fairy tales.
Tonks coaches Teddy to say "dada" as his first word. She does it by teaching Teddy how to clap so the first time Remus hears Teddy say "dada," he walks into a room and Teddy is clapping at him. Tonks is super proud of herself and Teddy, because they make Remus cry happy tears.
Tonks likes to teach Teddy about the moon and stars. Remus still hates the moon, but Tonks wants to show Teddy how beautiful it can be. Teddy's the best at Astronomy.
Tonks likes to teach Teddy about Muggle things, to honor Ted's Muggleborn heritage, and Remus' Muggle mother.
Tonks sings weird songs to Teddy, ones she makes up, and then he repeats the songs in unusual places, much to Tonks' embarrassment or joy. Teddy's rendition of "Teapots Full of Hot, Stinky Poo" is sung loudly and proudly at the Leaky Cauldron.
Tonks takes Teddy to his first concert, The Weird Sisters, when he's five. He loves it and decides he wants to be a drummer. Tonks and Remus become even better at Silencing Charms.
When Teddy is sorted to Hufflepuff, Tonks sends him happy Howlers announcing how proud she is of him. She also sends him ll her old Hufflepuff stuff.
When Remus is transformed as a werewolf, Tonks plays lots of games with Teddy to keep his mind off of it. When he's at Hogwarts, he becomes Hufflepuff's game master, leading lots of matches of Exploding Snap, Gobstones, and Wizard's Chess, at every full moon.
Finally, Tonks teaches Teddy all about "constant vigilance." Teddy likes to morph into other people at Hogwarts and shout "constant vigilance" at them, to keep them on their toes, and Tonks gets a sternly worded letter from Professor Sprout asking her to please stop trying to make a mini Mad-Eye Moody run Hufflepuff house.

Jeddy - James comes home after graduating from Hogwarts. For @phoebe-delia who is always willing to listen to my writing woes and help me shake some ideas out of the annoying mass I call my brain.
So I have two ideas of how this would go. The first one:
Teddy is an auror, or maybe a field healer who works with the aurors/curse breakers/unspeakables.
Teddy and James got together over Christmas break in Jamie’s 7th year. Not sure on the details, but obviously James has to finish school and Teddy’s schedule doesn’t always line up with Hogsmeade weekends so they’re limited to writing letters.
And Teddy is meant to be at James’ graduation but he gets called out on a mission that goes longer than planned and doesn’t make it back. And James obviously understands, Teddy’s been doing this job for a few years and James knew what he was getting into. But he can’t deny being a bit devastated to not have his boyfriend there to see him graduate
We don’t really have much info on how hogwarts graduation works, so in my mind it’s like my own high school experience - graduation happens about a week before all the other years break up. And as part of that, the 7th years travel home on the Hogwarts Express the day after graduation, just their year, as a final rite of passage. Even though they’re legal adults by now and most of them have their apparition license
And so Jamie rides back on the train, expecting to be picked up by his parents, and probably the entire Weasley family that isn’t still stuck at Hogwarts
But instead there’s Teddy, still a bit grimy and frazzled from the field, and James fucking launches himself across the platform. Feet barely hit the ground
And it’s that jump, catch, spin moment from all the cheesy rom coms, and even though he denies it later Jamie definitely cries, Teddy doesn’t even try to deny it. And they don’t really have a reason to be so emotional - it was one day longer than they’d expected to be apart. But they’re both home and James is going to move in with Teddy (don’t tell his parents, they don’t know yet) and they’re young and a little bit stupid still but a lot in love.
But I also had another idea because I got struck by the idea of librarian Teddy. In big glasses and chunky knits and permanent ink stains on his fingers:
James has been outwardly flirting since he was about 15 but “you’re underage, Jamie, and I’m practically your teacher”
And James turns 17 and argues that Teddy is not an actual professor, just a “stuffy librarian” - a phrase that gets him ignored for a few days until he produces an unholy amount of Teddy’s favourite chocolate and a completely overboard apology
But Teddy stands his ground and is annoyingly un-flusterable
At their wedding Teddy finally admits to casting a lot of wordless cooling charms whenever Jamie entered the library to try and stop himself from flushing
And to be honest James does understand and respect Teddy’s boundaries - and Teddy knows he does - but it becomes a bit of a game to try and rile Teddy up
Cut to Jamie’s graduation. As mentioned above I think the 7th years would take the train back, but it would be the day after because it takes so long. So James is just like, hanging out in the common room or something the evening after graduation, probably planning to sneak out to the party that the professors definitely don’t know is happening (even though it’s happened every year for at least a hundred years…) and a little first or second year pops up ���Mr Lupin says you’re needed in the library now”
And James hopes of course, but you never really know with Teddy. It’s just as likely James still has a book out that he’s forgotten to return
But as he opens the doors to the library a hand reaches out and yanks him inside. He can’t even fully see Teddy, what with there being no light apart from a few flickering candles, but he hears a rough “you’re not a student anymore” before he his pushed up against the door and kissed within an inch of his life.
I’d like to think that James becomes a professor, or an auror who does regular lectures or something, and that he continues to visit Teddy in the library and try to get him flustered
Don’t tell anyone, but it’s usually James that ends up flustered, when he walks in and teddy is talking to some students, his hair all ruffled from absent-minded hands and a smudge of ink on his cheek and his eyes alight with enthusiasm as he imparts knowledge about some niche topic or other.
James definitely makes use of the cooling charm trick.
If you want rambling dot points with my headcanons, send me a character/pairing and a situation/theme and I’ll do my best to answer it in a vaguely timely manner!

Master fic list
Hello and welcome to my writing corner. You can find all of my fics under TracingPatterns on AO3 but I’ve put together some of the things I’m the most proud of in this post. I’ve posted the rating and the rough wc, but please mind the CW and tags on each fic. And if you do read, and like, feel free to drop me a comment because it never fails to make my day. Happy reading!
Harry Potter fandom
Wolfstar
Wilder than Mountain Thyme - E - 109k Remus Lupin is a disillusioned werewolf who has mostly turned his back on the Wizarding society, content to work his mundane muggle job. Sirius Black is wizarding royalty, or at least he was until he walked away from his pureblood family to follow his own path in life. Sometimes love is found where you least expect it, and Edinburgh is no exception.
Mr. Mouse - Teen and up - 2.9k James and Lily Potter are killed by Voldemort, but when the spell backfires off of baby Harry, Voldemort actually dies and the war ends. Instead of being shipped off to the Dursley's, Harry goes to stay with Sirius and Remus, which had always been according to his parents' wishes. This is a little snippet of their life together.
Of Quiet Hearts and Thundering Dreams - E - 46.7k Sirius Black never thought he was the kind of person who would ever settle in a sleepy village outside of London, but that was before Lily and James Potter died, leaving their son in Sirius' care. Remus Lupin never thought he would return to his childhood village, but that was before he found himself being a single parent in a foreign country. Neither of them thought they were looking for something, but maybe they were.
Betrayal - Teen and up - 4k Remus Lupin returns to Hogwarts.
Full moon - M - 1.7k Sirius’ first full moon in Azkaban.
Playing with fire - E - 7k Over the years, Sirius had perfected the careful manipulation of Remus’ possessiveness into getting exactly what he wanted, when he wanted it. He had poked and prodded and twisted and bent until he knew exactly how far Remus could be pushed before the Wolf came out. This close to the full moon it was like playing with fire and Sirius lived for the burn.
No-one say (how pretty you were) - E - 5k Remus shares a memory.
Countdown - E - 6.8k In which Remus teaches Sirius a little something about patience.
Push - E - 7.3k “Ah,” Remus said, slowly. “Decided to be difficult today, then.”
Family on the Mend - M - 76k (co-written with @heartofspells​) Sirius and Remus are struggling with parenthood, stretched too thin trying to bring up two children with a significant age gap, soon-to-be-fifteen year old Harry Potter and two year old Teddy Lupin-Black. When their chaotic life boils over during a dinner party, their friends intervene and suggest they need help. Sirius and Remus both agree they can’t do it on their own, however, the kind of help that they suggest - a Muggle Reality TV Show which focuses on helping struggling families - is not what either of them had in mind.
Trust - E - 4.8k Five times Sirius trusted Remus and one time he didn't.
An heir and a spare - Teen and up - 3k The new term has started and Regulus has to face his brother for the first time since Sirius left Grimmauld Place to stay with the Potters. Tragic Black brothers.
Nothing without you - M - 6.4k Sirius, he thinks again, the only word that seems to catch in his mind as he stares at the bed. It’s Sirius, there, body stretched out and eyes closed and black hair spilling over the pillow and blood. So much blood. He looks like he’s sleeping, only not, because Sirius doesn’t sleep like that, on his back, still and quiet.
Secrets in the Black of night - E - 6k It all starts when Remus is paired with Sirius fucking Black in Potions, but Remus didn’t think this was where they would end up. Sirius is in Slytherin, Remus is in Gryffindor. How different things could be.
Chase - E - 7k “For the last time, Padfoot, I’m not going to play hide-and-seek with you,” Remus exclaims, an exasperated sort of tone to his voice as he looks at his boyfriend. (Or shameless, plotless smut)
The wolf submits - E - 4.6k When the moon has been particularly cruel, when the wolf has been especially savage, when Padfoot and Prongs haven’t been enough to calm his thirst for the hunt, that’s when he wants this, needs this. When he comes to, racked with guilt and with the taste of blood in his mouth, that’s when he needs this.

Drarry
As The Tide Pulls - E - 24k People are always awed by how powerful Harry Potter is. Little do they know it comes with a price. When Harry steps through the doors to Draco Malfoy's shop Magical Mends they don't know that both their lives will change forever. Despite the history between them they manage to find something within each other and they start building a life together. Just as their life settles down, Harry starts to show symptoms that turn out to be more than just stress and a diagnosis reveals that there is something wrong with his magic.
Mixed
over blackened water - Regulus Black/James Potter - E - 14k Regulus knows it as clear as anything. He might be a Death Eater, might be one of the Dark Lord’s most trusted, but Regulus Black belongs only to one other man and that is James Potter.
Scent of Summer Snow - Sirius Black/Remus Lupin/James Potter - E - 15k Remus had spent seven years watching James Potter and Sirius Black. It was impossible not to the get drawn in by their magnetism, impossible not to watch them when they were together, impossible not to be affected by the way the whole world seemed to centre around them. It wasn't that he was jealous, exactly, but when he lay awake in bed listening to the two of them whisper, unaware that he was still awake, he couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to be a part of that.
Little Lion - Sirius Black/James Potter, Sirius Black/Regulus Black, James Potter/Regulus Black, Sirius Black/James Potter/Regulus Black - E - 35k Sirius Black and James Potter are two sides of the same coin. Rivals since the first day they set foot on the Hogwarts Express, constantly trying to beat the other whether it’s on the Quidditch pitch or in the classroom. Together they are the embodiment of the Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalry. Regulus Black is caught in the middle, stuck between his older brother and his Quidditch captain.
Descent - Sirius Black/Draco Malfoy - E - 22k Everyone thought that Sirius Black was dead, and maybe he was, until he suddenly isn’t. It turns out that coming back from the veil is not as easy as one might think. Between infiltrating the Death Eaters’ ranks and ghosts of the past haunting him, he begins to descend into reveries. As Sirius finds himself back with what remains of his family the line between then and now starts to blur and fade away.
This is how it ends - Draco Malfoy - Teen and up - 6.2k The executioner leaves through the same door that he came, his face hidden behind a mask. It’s ironic, really. Draco’s father was sentenced to death because of the mask he had worn, and now his life has been taken by someone wearing a different one. A mask for a mask.
A mother's love - General Audience – 3.8k Sirius might have left, but he was going to come back. He was going to come back. He had to come back. A Walburga Black character study.
The Malfoy Gambit - General Audience - 2.4k Narcissa had always been the one left behind to pick up the pieces. Her sisters were selfish, doing whatever they wanted without a thought on how it would affect anyone else. Their family. Their parents. Her. They wreaked havoc through everyone’s lives and left their little sister to pick up the pieces and hold everything together.
Pieces - M - 3.8k Some missing pieces from Halloween 1981, multiple POVs.
After the fairytale - General Audience - 4.7k Over the years he’d perfected the mask of a carefree wizard. He had grown from The Boy Who Lived into The Man Who Triumphed and he bore it well. But the darkness wasn’t gone. A Harry Potter character study.
Hate - General Audience - 425 Severus hated him. Had always hated him. Had hated him since the first time they met on the Hogwarts Express, standing face to face with him and the insufferable Potter. A short Severus Snape character study.
West Side Story
Riff/Tony
Family - Teen and up - 5.5k Tony had come back from upstate a changed man. He didn’t know how to explain it to the guys he’d left behind, but prison did that to a person. He’d only been gone a year but a year in prison was like ten on the Upper West. Locked up, he had nothing but time. That was all it was, doing time, and there was so fucking much of it.
You feel like home - E - 4.8k The first time it happens, Riff thinks it’s a mistake. He doesn’t mean to think of Tony when he’s on the cusp of release, but he turns his head and his gaze snags on a shirt thrown over a chair. It’s Tony’s shirt, left behind the last time he’d crashed at Riff’s instead of going home, and suddenly he thinks of Tony, shirtless in his bedroom, and Riff comes into his own hand. It's just one of those things, he tells himself afterwards. An accident, it doesn’t mean anything. He was already so far gone, it had nothing to do with Tony. Not really.
Supernatural
General
Christmas - General Audience - 1.8k The Winchesters don’t do Christmas. They never have, really. Dean figured they used to, must have, sometime before everything went horribly wrong but he doesn’t remember it.
