my cosmic love, my rarest air

a little excerpt from my sunrise on the reaping wolfstar au <3

i think remus absolutely thrives on playful humiliation from sirius. there’s this delicious conflict yk. his brain is like, oh this is embarrassing, but his body is screaming, more, please, wreck me

sirius knows remus’ tells. he knows the certain type of tremor in his thigh, the frantic flutter of his eyelids, the way his breath hitches when he's right on the edge

when sirius smirks down, “you’re gonna come? already?” it’s his way of saying, i see you, i see how close you are, how much i affect you, and i love it. and ohh how remus craves that kind of intimate recognition

remus lives with so much self-control. his constant awareness of his own body, his need to be “good” and responsible affect him so much every day. but in those moments, with sirius’ teasing words, he’s given permission to utterly lose it, to be messy, to be desperate, to be fully consumed by sensation. it’s a profound, liberating release, and sirius is the only one who can unlock it. emus might bite his lip, trying not to make a sound, but then sirius says something else, a little whisper, and he just breaks

also obviously remus knows sirius isn’t genuinely trying to hurt him or make him feel bad. it’s all wrapped up in this intense adoration

whenever remus whimpers or moans, sirius nuzzles into his neck, whispering, “hearing that, moony? sounds like you're having fun”

he loves to hold remus’ face, making him look him in the eyes while he’s just so close to the edge, then leaning in to order him to look right into sirius’ eyes

sirius uses a lot of the pet names. like “easy there, baby,” with a soft nip on his shoulder, emphasizing how feral remus gets for him. or “my gorgeous boy” said with a completely knowing smirk

there’s so much feigned concern. when remus is panting, completely flushed, sirius just leans back a tiny bit with a soft “oh, are you okay, baby? you seem a little… distressed. is there anything i can do to make it feel alright?” but his eyes are sparkling with arousal

he also likes the “you're so easy” thing, telling remus stuff like “always so quick to come apart for me, aren’t you, darling?” said with a deep, possessive purr

this isn’t a one-off. it becomes part of their intimate language. sirius learns exactly how far he can push, how sweetly he can wound, and remus learns to lean into it, to even anticipate the next playful taunt that will shatter his composure and send him spiraling into pleasure

i was thinking about merman remus and human sirius, (I'm thinking about writing a fic) but do you maybe have your own hcs? your favourite hcs?..

(I'm working on your ask I'm sorry it's taking me so long 😭)

hiiii darling!!! i’m so excited you’re thinking about writing a fic 🥺 merman remus and human sirius is such a sweet setup. personally i love the idea of remus being this wary merman who’s lived in the same hidden cove for years, watching humans from a distance but never trusting them. sirius would be the curious sailor (or shipwrecked rich boy) who washes up there and slowly wins him over with his loud laughter and terrible attempts at fishing. remus starts leaving little gifts for him (like pretty shells and shiny stones) and sirius is completely gone for this mysterious, scarred, soft-voiced creature

tho i love the merman remus idea too, i have to admit i’m personally obsessed with the switched version where sirius is a siren known for singing ships into the rocks. remus is a religious captive or a sailor who was taken prisoner on a ship. sirius becomes fascinated by this one human who looks at him with fear but also wonder instead of blind obsession. over time sirius starts visiting the ship at night just to talk to him (or sing softly for only him), and remus, despite everything, starts falling for this deadly, lonely creature who’s never had anyone see him as more than a monster. they fall in love in stolen moments while remus is still half-convinced sirius is going to kill him. the tension of “you’re supposed to be a monster” and “i’m supposed to be damned for this” is delicious idk. but yeah sorry i just rewatched pirates of the caribbean for the 450th time

another one i adore is sirius as a dryad (tree nymph). he's this ancient, ethereally gorgeous forest creature tied to an old oak tree, known for being vicious toward humans who threaten his woods. remus is the woodcutter who moves into a small cabin on the edge of the forest. sirius tries everything to scare him off at first, like making trees creak ominously, sending animals to mess with his tools, appearing in terrifying beautiful visions to drive him away, but remus is stubborn, respectful of the forest, and slowly starts leaving small offerings (a bowl of honey, carefully stacked firewood, wildflowers). sirius gets curious, then soft, then completely gone for this human who talks to the trees and treats the forest like it’s alive. their love story is full of sirius learning to trust and remus learning to believe in magic (also a sprinkle of tension bc tree nymph/woodcutter, you see)

i don't know, i just love when sirius gets to be the ethereally gorgeous, otherworldly creature and remus is the grounded, “normal” one who sees past the danger and loves him anyway. it flips the usual script in such a nice way

also i’d love to hear more about your ideas when you feel like sharing!! and no rush on my ask at all, take your time love <333
