Vampire Hunter Sirius Black/ Vampire James Potter
| 6.1k |
Sirius comes from a long line of hunters. He was trained his whole life to become one too. All he needs to finish his training is his first kill.
The vampire he finds for that purpose turns out to be a challenge though. James is fast and daring and beautiful.
And lethal to Sirius' heart.

1. How do they get together? They hook up as a stress relief thing, or the mistletoe gets them during Christmas and they realize one snog isnât enough.
2. Who proposes? I could see both of them proposing, but I lean towards James.
3. Do you imagine that they have any clashing habits? And how do they resolve them? Sirius as an early riser, and James who prefers to sleep in - solved by James becoming an octopus and keeping Sirius beside him.
4. Would they live in a city or in the countryside? Countryside. Although they enjoy city life, I think theyâd like to return home to a place thatâs quiet and just for them.
5. Do they have any hobbies that they like to do together? Besides sex? Flying/driving really fast.
6. What's their favorite type of vacation? I can see them visiting vineyards across the globe, and wine-tasting.
7. Would they have any pets and if so, how many and how do they name them? They somehow attract and honorarily adopt the wild animals around their house. They name them after random objects, or the actions they (the animals) partake in the most.
8. Would they/ do they want kids? If so, how many? Names? James wants like, a thousand; Sirius is wary at first, but after the first he warms up to the idea of more very quickly. I donât have any name ideas right now, but maybe theyâd start a new theme for themselves (like the way the Blacks have celestial names)
9. Do they have separate closets or one big one because they like to share clothes? Yeah, they share a big closet.
10. Who does the cooking? Mainly James, but Sirius will sometimes make simple breakfasts (he makes a mean pancake)
11. Who kills the spiders? Sirius
12. Who realized their feelings first? Sirius
13. Who admitted their feelings first? James
14. Who is more jealous? And what moment proves it? James! Whenever someone tries to flirt with Sirius in Jamesâ line of sight, James will initiate a makeout session.
15. What are their love languages in private and in public? In private James likes to cook for Sirius; in public itâs PDA. Sirius will give James massages in private; in public heâll go through clothing stores, hold items up against James, and tell him how good heâd look in (and out) of them.
16. Where do they stand on PDAs? James is all about that, and Sirius enjoys the people witnessing getting jealous.
17. How did their friends react when they got together?
Remus: Supportive of their announcement, but he wallows in private later because now his feelings are officially unrequited.
Peter: âAbout damn time!â
Lily and the rest: âYou werenât together before?â
18. If they had to pick one word capturing how they feel about each other (other than love) what would it be? James - possessive; Sirius - fond (but the way he says it and the look in his eyes makes it clear that his feelings transcend fond)
19. What do they consider each otherâs most annoying habit? James sometimes snores like a freight train. Sirius is able to roll out of bed with perfect hair.
20. What about their most endearing habit? Sirius talks to all wild animals like heâs a disney princess. James will enthusiastically press his face against the glass windows of quidditch shops when a new broom model is released.
21. What is the term of endearment that they use for them and them alone? James uses âLoveâ and Sirius uses âDarlingâ
[I literaly forgot about fest, and I also don`t have much time to write and translate this week. I maybe would have some next week, so I would add them in this collection. but I write two - for 1 and 2 days!]
only gazing [T, 1,114 words]
Sirius refused to allow himself to indulge in gazing at James, even though the firewhisky flowing through his veins urged him to smile foolishly at every movement of those calloused hands and sharp shoulders.
2. I'm here [T, 767 words]
James kissed Sirius, first on the lower lip, then the upper. He kissed his jaw and buried his nose in his neck, wrapping his arms around him and breathing in the scent of leather jacket and cologne.

A Hideous Thing Inside [M, WIP] by @arliedraws
series about Slytherin!Sirius Black [from T to M, mix of finished one-shots and 10k+/18k+ WIPs] by @arliedraws
these works convinced me that Prongsfoot could be the main ship, and I don't regret for a day that I once came across them. beautifully written, easy to read, completely enjoyable, and I want to reread them again and again. AU in both cases: the first is about Sirius the werewolf, the second - of course - about the charismatic and sometimes super evil Sirius, if he were sorted into Slytherin. James is also different, which it suits him in circumstances

Five Times Sirius Black Fucked James Potter and One Time He Didn't by @greyeyedmonster-18 [M, 11,8k]
loved this so you should read
and some Explicit works by SeaPrince49 that I found interesting
After their fifth year, Sirius is cursed to be a merman and James, who doesn't know sets out on a mission to find his best mate.
Ao3
***
James Potter hasnât been the same since Sirius Black, his best mate of five years, disappeared. He knows that it had nothing to do with what happened at the Willow in Fifth Year, no matter what Remus or Snape said â at least not that he was sent to Azkaban for it.Â
Deep down, he knows that it probably as something to with his parents not liking the rumors about Remus that he just knows Snape spread. Especially since his brother was sent to a different school, but it was clear that Sirius wasnât sent there.
He just disappeared.
And James was never the same.
He tried â to move on. Remus and Peter had both encouraged him to.Â
But ultimately, he missed him.
He wanted Sirius in his life, and he needed answers.
So, he worked on one of their special projects. The one that would allow them to find each other no matter what.
A compass.
Itâd taken all of his focus for the last two years of Hogwarts, but heâs finally done it.Â
Perfect timing for the ending of their schooling.
***
His charm leads him to the water.Â
He gets himself a ship and follows the compass deep into the ocean. He doesnât need to worry about getting stuck because he knows that his magic can save him.Â
âIâll find you, Sirius, wherever you may be.â
***
Sirius had been furious when his parents had told him that they were taking him away from Hogwarts and that werewolf and those blood traitors.Â
He had tried to get back, get out, get to James, but heâd been caught and cursed.
His so-called parents had been determined that theyâd rather lose him to a curse than to those people.
Then, they dropped him in the ocean to live a lonely life of a merman. Cursed to be a merman until or unless kissed by his one true love.
Siriusâ only problem is that his one true love is his best mate, and his best mate loves someone else.
So, he swims far away from the British isles for warmer waters.
***
James is confused when his compass leads him to the middle of the ocean on the outskirts of Australia.Â
He expected that maybe heâd been sent to school in Australia, but why had the charm led him to the middle of the ocean?Â
Surely, Sirius wasnât here.
UnlessâŚ
***
Sirius is swimming with some of his new mermaid friends. They could change back as long as they were dry, but he couldnât. The human man that was trying to figure out the magic on the mermaids had been so fascinated by Siriusâ tales of curses and magic, and wanted to experiment on him.
Heâd let him, but he got tired of that sometimes.Â
âDid you see the boat outside the island?â Rikki asks, the blonde, curly haired firecracker of a mermaid asks when they surface in the moonpool. âItâs been there for days.â
âHavenât left the pool much,â Sirius offers. âBeen feeling a bit down. I shouldâve been finishing Hogwarts around now.â
âWe might be able to figure it out â how to uncurse you,â Cleo offers, the dark-haired peacemaker of the three is the most optimistic of his chances to be free of this.
Sirius shakes his head. âI know how to undo this, the problem is that James is never going to find me here.â
âI wouldnât be so sure of that,â a new voice â a voice that he hadnât heard in more than two years says.Â
Sirius snaps to look at the underwater opening of the moon pool, where sure enough, thereâs James wearing a bubblehead charm and treading water beside the other blonde mermaid, Emma.Â
âJames!â
âSirius!â
He pops his bubble and swims forward, throwing his arms around Siriusâ neck. âThis is where youâve been?â
âYeah, er, my parents cursed meâŚâ before he can contemplate how to explain the curse or uncursing, James kisses him soundly on the lips and he feels the warmth of magic surround him, and suddenly, heâs got legs again.
***
James breaks the kiss and grins. âWow, whereâd your tail go?â
Sirius laughs as the mermaids around them clap and cheer before Emma, the blonde mermaid that had led him here, drags the other two away to give them privacy.
âI â it was a curse. True love was the only way to get rid of it.â
James grins. âThatâs good news, then. Now, we can be together forever.â
Sirius hums. âYeah, I like the sound of that. Maybe we can stay here, too? My friends â they arenât just mermaids; they can remove their tails by staying dryâŚâ
âYeah, I am more than happy to be here as long as Iâm with you.â

@mycupofrum blessed me with amazing art of vamire James!! Look at hiiiiim đ No wonder Sirius couldn't resist!
The moon shines bright tonight.
Sirius sits on the rooftop of James' house and looks down at the forest that changed so much for him, bathed in light and shadows. He listens to the sound of the wind in the leaves and the soft rustling of small animals running through the undergrowth. The water in the creek nearby is rushing past.
It's peaceful in a way.
Sirius hasn't expected this feeling of freedom. He takes a deep breath, taking in the cool night air. It's like breathing freely for the first time.
âThere you are.â
Sirius opens his eyes to see James climb onto the rooftop. His heart does a funny little stumble in his chest when seeing him. It brings a feeling of warmth he only now lets himself feel fully.
James picks his way across the roof to Sirius' side. Their shoulders brush slightly when he sits down next to him.
They sit side by side, enjoying the quiet night, watching fireflies dance on the grass.
âDo you regret it?â James asks eventually.
Sirius looks at him, at the one person who made him question everything. James is bold and fun, he's mischief and trouble, and he's so much more than that.
He's home.
âNo,â Sirius says and gives him a smile that shows just a hint of fangs.
James reaches out and brushes his fingertips along the corner of Sirius' lips. âGoodâ, he says and leans in, kissing him softly. He lingers for a bit, letting the kiss grow just a little deeper, before he pulls back and stands up.
He holds out a hand to Sirius.
Sirius looks up at him, then reaches up and takes his hand. He lets James pull him up and uses the momentum to lean into James' space, quickly stealing another kiss and making James laugh. It's the best sound in the whole forest.
âReady to hunt?â James asks and steps closer to the edge of the roof, his eyes on Sirius.
Sirius smiles at him. The edges of his new fangs brush along his lips as he does so. âLead the way.â
James grins at him in return, a challenge in his eyes, and jumps. He lands lightly in the grassy area around the house and then he's off, running into the forest, slipping into familiar shadows.
He's fast, but Sirius knows he'll catch him eventually. The thrill of the chase brings another grin to his lips. He doesn't hesitate.
Eager to catch up, Sirius jumps off the roof and follows James into the night.

How do they get together? A random kiss after maybe a little bit of joking about them being a couple.
Who proposes? James. He's the one that wants marriage more than Sirius.
Do you imagine that they have any clashing habits? And how do they resolve them? James can be a bit obsessive and it drives Sirius crazy. Sirius isn't as into the romance side of things and it makes James kinda sad.
Would they live in a city of in the countryside? Countryside.
Do they have any hobbies that they like to do together? Everything.
What's their favorite type of vacation? Nature. I think they love hiking and playing around as Padfoot and Prongs.
Would they have any pets and if so, how many and how do they name them? OHHHH, I am conflicted between lots of pets and no pets. It all depends.
Would they/ do they want kids? If so, how many? Names? James wants kids, Sirius wants to give James anything he wants. I wanna say that they definitely have Harry, but who knows if they have any others.
Do they have separate closets or one big one because they like to share clothes? One giant closet because they love sharing (and seeing each other in their clothes).
Who does the cooking? hmmmm- James?
Who kills the spiders? hmmm - Sirius?
Who realized their feelings first? Probably Sirius. James was a bit confused on a crush that he had someone else and then felt like he was hit by a train of feelings.
Who admitted their feelings first? James, once that train hit, he just HAD to tell him.
Who is more jealous? And what moment proves it? Uh, James? I think he wouldn't know how to handle someone else hitting on his man, while Sirius tends to just be too chill for jealousy.
What are their love languages in private and in public? Uhhh, physical attention for both. Maybe gifts for both.
Where do they stand on PDAs? They are that annoying couple that can't help it.
How did their friends react when they got together? They laughed. They said "about damn time."
If they had to pick one word capturing how they feel about each other (other than love) what would it be? Warmth.
What do they consider each others most annoying habit? No idea.
What about their most endearing habit? Running their hands through their hair.
What is the term of endearment that they use for them and them alone? Love.
To celebrate their first Valentine's Day as a married couple, their gifts to each other are half a gift to themselves.
Ao3
***
Thereâs a part of Sirius that still feels insanely lucky that James had seen the light of day and decided to kiss him three years ago. He could have opted to chase after some bird, probably Evans, but instead, he chose Sirius.
His best mate.Â
It had happened on the heels of finishing Hogwarts, looking out at their suddenly bright future and realizing that they didnât have to worry about anyone else.Â
Just be happy and together.
Itâd been easier said than done for Sirius, but with his plan to get his own flat, he suddenly had the freedom to be who he wanted to be, which was freeing enough to tell James that he wasnât into birds of any persuasion and James, whoâd been surprisingly pining, had decided to celebrate that with a kiss.
It was the first and best kiss at the time, only to be utterly blown away by every kiss after that, which just got better and better and better. Every kiss is better than the last and Sirius is just thrilled by that.
Itâs amazing and surprising and heâs so damn lucky, he thinks as he looks down at that brilliant ring on his finger. The one that sealed his fate as a Potter (a brilliant fate) not six months earlier.
It had been another surprise that they had waited as long as they did to get married, but Jamesâ parents wanted everything to be utterly perfect, and they werenât going to stand in their way â too happy to just get to marry each other and get their happily ever after.
Now, though, itâs their first Valentineâs Day since they got married and Sirius knows that while he isnât really a gift person, James absolutely is, and so, heâs grown accustomed to giving James what he wants.
It helps that any gift he gives him is also half-a-gift for himself since he knows James so well.
***
âI have a present for you,â Sirius says as he hands his perfect present to his wonderful husband. âFor the holiday, but you know that I quite enjoy spoiling you as well.â
If only because his presents are a joy to James who gets to open them and himself, who gets to enjoy them.
James grins. âYou spoil me.â
âI spoil me,â Sirius counters as James gives him a kiss.
James smiles and opens the box. His eyes fall on the present inside: itâs a sheer skirt and red lacy panties. The lace also ties around the thighs in thin bands, and frankly, it leaves his delightfully sexy husband clothed in something that doesnât leave much to the imagination.Â
âYou like?â
âItâs beautiful,â James says, in awe. His eyes bright and gleaming. âYou know how much I love dressing up for you.â
Sirius hums. âAnd I love dressing you up.â
James grins as he stands. âWhy donât you help me get it on then?â
âGladly.â
Sirius lets James lead the way into their bedroom, but once inside he helps James undress and re-dress in the lingerie that heâd bought for him.
It looks as good as Sirius had imagined with the way it hugs his thighs and shows off his arse.Â
James looks good in anything and everything, but Sirius knows what catches his eyes and this⌠definitely does.
âYou like?â James teases as he watches himself in the mirror, his hazel eyes darting to Sirius behind him admiring his arse from behind. âCertainly, looks like it.â
Heâs got this arrogant, knowing grin that Sirius finds ridiculously enchanting.
âI love,â Sirius offers. âIâve got great taste.â
âYou definitely do.â
Sirius moves to the bed, undressing himself down to his pants and waving his wand to set some music for James to dance to.Â
âAnd I know how much you love showing offâŚâ
James grins as he turns to look at him. âI definitely do.â
âGood, then dance for me, love.â
âGladly.â
***
James laughs as cuddles into Sirius afterwards.Â
They hadnât made it the dinner that Sirius also had planned, but he definitely doesnât mind. Heâd rather sleep with Sirius than go out to dinner even for a holiday.Â
âWhatâs so funny?â Sirius questions.
âMy present for you,â James offers, thinking of the outfit heâd bought for himself that he had planned to wear tonight. Heâll probably just have to wear it tomorrow instead.Â
âOh?â
James hums. âItâs essentially a present for me, as well.â
Sirius chuckles. âYou bought yourself lingerie ⌠as a present for me?â
âWell, I know what you like.â
Sirius smiles. âYou definitely do.â
James leans over and gives him a kiss. âSo, Iâm sure youâll like it.â
Sirius racks his eyes over Jamesâ form. âI like you in anything, so Iâm sure Iâll love your present for me, too.â
âGood, Iâll show it off for you tomorrow.â
âSounds like a plan.â
James yawns slightly and knowing that heâs sleepy. Heâs always sleepy after sex with Sirius.Â
âHappy Valentineâs Day, love.â
âHappy Valentineâs Day.â
With that, he gives him another kiss and then, closes his eyes on a great first Valentines as husbands.Â
I think somehow through one of the drarry fanfics. if I remember correctly, Harry got drunk, thought about his sexuality, remembered Sirius, and came to the conclusion that the way Sirius talked about his father was more like adoration and love than friendship. I thought 'yes, why not'. but I started shiping after another drarry fanfic, where Sirius survived and confessed his feelings for James to Harry. I don't remember what fics it were, it was a long time ago, back in 2016-2018, when I first started journey in fandom
what I remember is that I wasn't really surprised, for me it was a natural continuation of things. like, yes, that explains everything
I wasn't looking for the fics specifically, but I was glad when drarry authors explored Sirius' feelings for James, whether platonic or romantic, although romantic is better, of course
day 2 What makes you ship Prongsfoot?
I just love them
I have a soft spot for the friends to lovers trope, even though I'm still looking for the perfect one. my favourite is when friends break up at a certain point in their lives and reunite a few years later. bonus if the other continues to deny their feelings and goes through emotional torture while the first doesn't notice. Prongsfoot is clearly the latter type.
they're nerds, troublemakers, complex characters (bullies who supposedly got better but really didn't), with complex fates. that's interesting. they're inventors! I have a really big soft spot for characters like that.
day 3 Whatâs your favorite part of writing or drawing Prongsfoot?
angst. I love fluff too, but angst - when Sirius is consumed by feelings for James, and he doesn't notice, in love with Lily or another girl, it doesn't matter if they end up together or Sirius finds another love - this is mine forever

âLittle cousin.â
Sirius stops at the bottom of the stairs at the bright sound of Bellatrix's voice. Her smile is much too bright too as she grabs his arm. Something isn't right. âWhat's going on?â
âIt's finally time to celebrate,â Bellatrix says and pulls him over towards the sitting room.
âCelebrate what?â
âYour first kill,â she says and gives him a push through the door. Sirius stumbles but catches himself before he can fall. When he looks up, he freezes.
His mother is sitting in a chair close to the fireplace, looking at him with disapproval, which sets off alarm bells in Sirius' mind. Usually, she's so proud at having produced such a strong hunter to continue their family line. Now she looks like she'd rather deny that she ever carried him in her womb.
His father and Regulus are not with her. They are probably out somewhere so Regulus can practice his tracking. He's not old enough yet to have finished his training.
But if there is anything to celebrate, shouldn't they be here too?
Sirius turns his head and his heart sinks even more.
James is sitting in another chair in the middle of the room, his hands bound behind his back with a piece of silver rope. He's looking up at Sirius, a grin tugging at the corner of his lips like it always does. Lips Sirius kissed just yesterday.
âSince you had such trouble pinning that one down,â Bellatrix says and holds out a stake to Sirius, one from the collection on her own belt. âWe thought we'd help you a little.â
Rodolphus snickers from where he leans against the wall right next to the door. Walburga purses her lips in even bigger disapproval. It's a shame for a hunter to have his first kill held down for him. She clearly expected better from her oldest son, her pride and joy.
And rightfully so. He's a far better tracker than any of them, he should have had no problem at all in finding his target.
And he didn't have a problem finding James at all. The problem is more that James has rocked his view on the world, on his entire existence.
Not that any of them would be able to understand that.
Sirius reaches for the stake and takes it from Bellatrix, his eyes never leaving James'. He steps closer to the chair, his fingers tightening around the wood. James' bright, hazel eyes are watching him, but Sirius sees no fear in them.
Sirius draws his dagger.
âYou won't need that, silly,â Bellatrix huffs, like he's ten again and just learning his weapons.
âYou never know,â Sirius says with an air of someone who knows what he's doing. His voice is surprisingly steady to his own ears.
He slowly circles the chair, drawing out the moment.
âWill you kill me?â James asks, a low whisper no one else can hear when Sirius has reached his back.
Sirius hates that he even has to ask. He takes a deep breath and adjusts his grip on his dagger. âI'd rather die.â
He lifts the dagger and brings it down hard.
The silver blade cuts clean through the silvery rope that binds James' hands together, embedding itself deep in the wood of the back of the chair. The rope falls away and James explodes out of the chair faster than Sirius can blink.
âYou fool!â Walburga screams at Sirius, fury in her voice like she has seen right into his heart and notices all the feelings he's not supposed to be having for a creature of the night. âHow dare you betray us like that?â
Sirius has no time to answer his mother.
James makes for the door, but Bellatrix is ready for him. She already has another stake in her hand. Rodolphus pushes away from the wall to help block the only exit out of the room, a menacing grin on his lips, like he just waited for things to get messy.
James doesn't slow down. He throws himself at Rodolphus without a second thought, which is an insane thing to do. Rodolphus is taller than James and almost twice as broad, packed with muscles and weapons alike.
Sirius curses and steps around the empty chair, the stake in his hand ready to use in James' defence, but James doesn't need it. He uses his momentum and instead of trying to push Rodolphus down to get past him, he grabs his arm and spins them sideways.
Bellatrix raises her stake.
Things happen too fast. Rodolphus turns into Bellatrix's path, completely knocked off centre. Bellatrix goes for James, but misses.
The stake goes through Rodolphus' chest instead. Bellatrix screams, more out of rage at getting tricked than out of pain for her husband, who looks at her wide-eyed and drops to his knees, his hand going for the wood producing out of his chest.
James lets go of Rodolphus when he falls forward onto his face and jumps over him, then runs for the front door. Sirius doesn't hesitate. He jumps over Rodolphus' limp legs to get out of the room right after James.
Bella's rage follows him along with her own dagger.
The impact nearly takes all of his breath away. He stumbles but catches himself on the railing of the staircase, his stake goes clattering to the floor. James slows down, his eyes wide. He might not see the dagger yet, but he can clearly smell Sirius' blood.
âNot that door,â Sirius wheezes, trying to ignore the pain. He grabs James' arm and tugs him towards the staircase. His father, always paranoid that any creature could show up and kill them all, made sure the magic of the house was strong. They surely have lowered the magical barrier around the house to bring James in, but Sirius is very sure it will be back up by now. If James steps through that door, he'll be burned to a crisp in seconds.
Their only chance out of this house safely is through Sirius' bedroom window, a hole in the protection he made himself, the project of a very bored teenager.
They run up the stairs. Sirius' shoulder feels like it's on fire. He can hear Bellatrix burst out of the sitting room, ready to follow them. She's quick to abandon her husband, but Sirius' mother is very likely helping him, if there is any way to help him at all.
They make it upstairs and to the right door. Sirius rips it open and they stumble through before he locks it behind them, just when Bellatrix reaches the top of the stairs.
âWe don't have much time,â Sirius says and reaches for the hilt of Bella's dagger sticking out of the back of his shoulder. âShe'll get through that door sooner or later.â
Sirius' protection charms around his door are strong, but they will not stand forever against an enraged Bellatrix. Another project of a lonely teenager.
âDon't,â James says and tries to stop him from pulling the dagger out. âYou'll make it worse if you just rip it out like that.â
âIf I don't pull it, she'll track me though it,â Sirius says and closes his fingers once more around the slippery hilt. It's a very awkward angle.
âShe'll track you too if you leave a trail of blood behind you,â James argues but Sirius doesn't listen. It's agony to pull the silver blade out of his own back, but needs must. Shaking, he drops the dagger to the floor once it's done and clings to his bedframe, taking a few deep breaths. Maybe he should have sat down for this.
The world sways dangerously beneath his feet, but James' cool fingers steady him. âLet me help you now, at least.â
Sirius shakes his head, both as an answer and to shake off the pain. âThere might be silver from the blade in the wound. You shouldn't touch it.â
âI think I can handle it,â James says and reaches for Sirius' shirt. âMeanwhile, tell me what's next.â
Sirius doesn't protest further when James' quick fingers open his shirt and pull it down enough to expose his shoulder and back. He shudders when James' tongue touches his skin, brushing over the wound and the blood that spills from it. It's a relief when the pain softens with every stroke.
âWe'll get out through the window,â Sirius says, his voice shaking a little. âWhere did they catch you?â
âThe forest,â James says, brushing his fingertip over his work. The wound is closed now, but still red and raw. It will likely leave a scar.
âNot your home?â Sirius asks.
âNo. They wouldn't be able to enter that house anyway.â
Sirius frowns and pushes away from the bed. He pulls his shirt back into place and closes the buttons with shaking fingers until James brushes them away and takes over. âI've managed to enter it just fine.â
He never had any trouble at all.
James smiles at him, but says nothing to that. When the final button is done, he smooths out the fabric of Sirius' shirt and steps away. âPack what you need and let's get out of here before your dear cousin bursts through that door.â
Sirius packs light. It isn't much he will miss from here. Most of the things that belong to him are for being a hunter and he won't need them anymore.
They can hear Bellatrix at the door, but the way out of the window is still clear, just like Sirius hoped it would be. No one in this family believes that anyone or anything could break the magical barrier, especially not that one of their own would do it.
They all underestimated Sirius severely by only seeing what they wanted to see. They are paying the price for that now.
Sirius opens the window and James climbs up onto the windowsill. He looks back over his shoulder at Sirius and blows him a kiss before he jumps first out into the night.
Sirius follows him without hesitation and without looking back.

Another day, another attempt at writing! One of my favourite tropes is pillow talk for day 5 of @prongsfootweekarchive and prompt Hands (march 15) for @dailyprongsfoot
This scene takes place in an established universe (which is currently under construction) but can totally be read separately.
Jamesâ chest was still heaving, pulling in strong but shallow breaths even with him draped on top of him, and Sirius couldnât help but chuckle tiredly at the thought which crossed his mind in that moment. He couldnât be bothered to voice it now though, too comfortable laying there, his cheek stuck to Jamesâ sweaty chest as they both caught their breaths. Maybe a little after as well, he would languish here as long as Jamesâhis boyfriendâwould let him.
It had taken them long enough to get here, after all. If he could only talk to then-Sirius he could have shaken some sense into James before. Or perhaps himself; heâd been there too, but then-Sirius had thought that the inside jokes about blowing your best friend had been just that. Jokes. He had thought that it had been clear that they were together.
Sirius let his eyes flutter closed while Jamesâ hand tangled in his hair, the pads of his fingers methodically massaged his scalp in the way he liked. He always seemed to find the right spots; how was he supposed to stay silent? The moan was soft and sated and fell from lazily smiling lips.
If they could have, he would have stayed there, just like this, all night, but the Astronomy tower was not ideal. Sure, it was private for now, but it was also the place prefects checked first once curfew rolled around. Theyâd probably have to move soon.
âI could listen to that sound all day,â James said with a raspy voice, unmistakably thick with desire. If the voice had not given it away, his handsâcalloused from countless Quidditch hoursâcaressed the curve of his back before coming to a rest on the slight slope of his arse where they continued their massage, would have. âNot too tired for another round then?â he teased, and heat pooled in Siriusâs stomach.
He turned his face into Jamesâ chest, his nose pressed into him as he inhaled deeply. âDonât tempt me,â he groaned just as he gave into the temptation of tasting Jamesâ skin. His tongue trailed upward, tasting the salt before his mouth closed around a nipple and pinched the soft, pink nub between his teeth. The sound that filled the rapidly chilling evening air was worth every single second of soreness he would endure if he decided to indulge.
âConsider yourself tempted,â James rasped and gave his arse a long, hard squeeze. âI want to make liberal use of the fact that I now had a boyfriend.â
âYou know youâve had one for a while now, right?â Sirius countered with his mouth still full. His tongue pointed as he traced circles around Jamesâ nippleâa slow and deliberate attempt at driving him insane. It felt like appropriate vengeance for not being considered a âboyfriendâ despite countless clear signs and some very hard (well, currently getting there) evidence that should have made their status abundantly clear.
Jamesâ chuckle rumbled through them both, the sound vibrating through Sirius like the purr of an engine; his stomach twisting with desire. âIf only I could go back and tell myself that, we wouldnât have to make up for lost time,â he remarked, and with one powerful pull of his arm, pulled Sirius on top of him.
âIf only,â Sirius agreed, the corners of his lips curling into a smile that he instantly smothered against Jamesâ lips.
James finds a nugget of Gryffindor Bravery to confess his feelings for his best mate.

***
There are so many things that Sirius loves about James.Â
Heâs his best mate. Heâs the sunshine in his life.
Heâs cute and lovable.
And⌠Sirius has been pining for him something terrible since they left Hogwarts.Â
While the war had helped to distract him for years, but now, he finds himself looking at a bright future that might go on forever and a best mate that he fancies that ⌠doesnât appear to fancy him.
Itâs not that James has a fancy of his own. They both opted to wait on the love front until such time that the war was over.Â
Now, though, Sirius watches from afar as Lily flirts with James and he suspects that Jamesâ waiting will have paid off. Heâs going to go home with her and celebrate and Sirius is going to go home, heartbroken, he just knows it.
It hurts, but he could⌠try and find someone else. Someone to take his fancy off of pining for his best mate.
He looks around and finds a few of the Order members that he knows would be open to something with him (if only because heâs Iâd turn gay to sleep with you gorgeous according to a couple of them). Heâs open to that.
Anything to take his mind off James.
***
James is smiling politely on Lilyâs flirting.
Itâs nice. It feels good, but she just isnât Sirius.Â
Heâs come to realize that heâs hopelessly pining for his best mate.Â
Heâd assumed incorrectly that putting the war first would take his mind off his terrible pining, but, unfortunately, it hadnât.Â
Things had only gotten worse after that.Â
Jamesâ pining increased every day of the war, and now that it was over, he doesnât really have a good excuse for not confessing his feelings⌠well, other than the obvious.
âOh, just go kiss him already,â Lily states.
âWhat? No, Iâm â Iâm not ââ he flushes.
âYou definitely are. Youâre flushing so hard right now, and despite your fancy of me when we were younger, itâs plainly clear that you fancy him now.â
Sheâs giving him that knowing look and he sighs.Â
âPerhaps youâre right.â
âGood, so go celebrate winning the war with a new love.â
He gives her a smile and she gives him a slight push.Â
He nearly stumbles as he weaves through the party guests, but as he makes it over to where the likes of Gideon is flirting with Sirius, he finds that little nugget of Gryffindor bravery and turns him around.Â
âI fancy you,â he confesses.
It takes Sirius a second before his face splits into a grin and he kisses him soundly.Â
