wolfstar who have this unspoken rule of always sitting next to each other, and one day someone else takes the seat beside remus, sirius stands there for solid ten seconds staring at the occupied seat, genuinely confused, as if the laws of the universe have been broken

mary seeing marlene and dorcas together and wanting to be happy for her best friend - she’s gay! and someone is interested in her! - but feeling like there’s something not right about it. not because she’s homophobic. i mean, come on, half her boyfriends seem to end up queer. which is just her luck, isn’t it? but no, it’s not because she’s bothered by seeing marlene with another girl, it’s just…it was always mary standing beside her. it was always mary that marlene leaned in to make some wry comment to. it was always mary fixing marlene’s hair or wiping away flecks of mascara from her cheekbone. and it was always mary that marlene looked at across the table to share a knowing look with. and it was always mary that marlene told all her secrets to. and mary is the one who knows how to calm marlene down when she’s stressing, and mary knows what cuts of clothing are the most flattering on her friend’s body - which is actually a very nice body despite how insecure marlene always gets - so she can give her the best guidance. and maybe mary doesn’t always understand everything marlene is talking about when she and lily or sirius start talking about science stuff but she still likes to listen to it. she always listens to marlene. marlene has always been so much more interesting than all the boys mary dates. and that’s why it feels wrong that marlene isn’t turning to her first to tell her what’s on her mind anymore.

teenage summer wolfstar being clumsy and awkward together. remus chewing with his mouth open, getting his curls all greasy and tangled from the sea salt, wiping sweat off his forehead only to be drenched again two minutes later in the heatwave, sneezing violently every time ragweed drifts by, forgetting sunscreen and ending up with a farmer’s tan. sirius with a constant runny nose, falling off his bike and scraping his knees bloody, getting his hair caught in remus’ watch when they cuddle on the grass, burning the roof of his mouth on hot chips, spilling sticky soda down his freshly washed shorts, and getting his fingers and mouth all stained with tomato sauce from scarfing pasta

lily and james marrying and they've decided that her best friend marlene is gonna be their photographer. but when marlene comes home that night with an ache in her stomach, she realizes that every single photo she took is of her. not of them together, it’s all her. lily smiling at her when she's getting ready. lily standing bright and tall during the beautiful reception. lily laughing as she walks down the church steps with flowers falling around her face. lily cutting the cake. lily dancing surrounded by her bridesmaids. and marlene wants to throw up because she can’t show any of this, but they're gonna want the pictures and they're all gonna know that she's-- that she's-- why was she so scared of confessing? this is worse than the hell she feared. this is a nightmare. she will have to watch as the woman she's loved for over a decade moves into her new house on that idyllic street, and they're gonna get a kid and oh god-- she's never been more in love.

there’s something so very beautiful about sirius, who was raised to prize elegance and perfection, falling head over heels for remus, who had to accept the reality of being a monster and believing someone like sirius would never even look his way, because sirius could only ever be drawn to extraordinary things. little does he know that sirius has never found anything more extraordinary than a lanky boy with unruly curls, freckles, a tooth gap, and a heart too big for his own good
