my cosmic love, my rarest air

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

read When Again Your Eyes Open, the Sun Will Rise on ao3.

well, to be honest, i’m not really into humiliation kink for wolfstar. their dynamic already has so much built-in insecurity and self-loathing for me (especially remus) that adding degradation just feels like it would hurt more than it helps. i’m firmly team praise kink girlie and i feel like they’re the kind of couple who make love like the world is ending

so with all that, here’s how i see their kinks evolving later in the relationship:

heavy praise kink is their main one for me, just like i’ve already said. remus gets shaky when sirius murmurs “you’re so good for me, so fucking perfect” while he’s falling apart. sirius, who grew up never being enough, loses his mind when remus says things like “look at you, love, taking everything i give you so beautifully”. they’re both greedy for it. lots of eye contact, foreheads pressed together, constant affirmations

also sirius has a massive thing for being called pretty/handsome/beautiful. remus saying “my gorgeous baby” or “fuck, you’re so pretty like this” makes sirius flush all the way down his chest. he acts cocky about it but secretly craves the validation so badly

not sure if it can be considered a kink but domestic sex. this one develops deep into the relationship. lazy morning sex where they’re half-asleep and still whispering i love yous. kitchen counter quickies. shower sex that turns into twenty minutes of just holding each other under the water. the comfort kink is real!!

they’re also into cockwarming while working/reading. it’s their ultimate domestic intimacy. remus sitting at his desk grading papers or reading with sirius in his lap, fully seated on him, staying like that for ages. sirius gets addicted to the fullness and the quiet praise

consensual somnophilia & morning worship is a big yes for them. i can see them waking each other up with slow, lazy touches and mouths when one of them is still half-asleep. sirius especially loves waking remus up while mouthing at him gently, murmuring “let me take care of you, baby, you don’t even have to wake up fully”

mirror & reflection play is what they do a lot deeper into their relationship, but mostly it’s not just watching themselves fuck, but remus making sirius look at them in the mirror while he tells him every detail of what he loves: the way his hair falls across his face that day, the flush on his chest, how beautiful every version of him is. sirius cries sometimes from the intensity of being seen like that

they both get weirdly primal about smell. sirius wearing remus’ unwashed hoodies for days because the scent grounds him, then remus burying his face between sirius’ legs or in his neck during sex and praising how he smells like home and sex and love. they start collecting each other’s worn clothes like weird little treasures

and then lemme offer you guided sensory deprivation with voice only. blindfold + noise-canceling headphones on one of them while the other guides them entirely with touch/whispered instructions/praise. it becomes this incredibly vulnerable trust exercise where the one in the dark just has to surrender and believe every touch or “you’re doing so well, i’ve got you, you feel incredible” if they’re cancelling noise

the love service & worship kink flipped. sirius has a deep need to serve remus on certain days (bringing him tea, kneeling prettily, massaging his bad leg for ages) and remus praising him the entire time for how devoted and perfect he is. other days remus serves sirius with the same reverent intensity until the caretaking gets filthy

also hell yes to gentle dominance / guided submission. remus is often the one in control later on, because he’s steady and calm enough to pull himself together. he’ll hold sirius’ wrists down and tell him exactly what to do in that low, patient voice, making sirius melt when he says “easy, baby. let me take care of you”

voice kink for both of them. remus whispering sweet dirty things in sirius’ ear while they’re slow fucking. sirius moaning remus’ name in that posh drawl when he’s close, which always makes remus dizzy

marking / possessive bites is also something they would like ig, but in a loving way obviously. hickeys that peek out of collars, fingerprints on hips, love bites on inner thighs. later they’ll trace them in the morning light and smile like idiots. it’s you’re mine but soft and adoring

i also see them practicing edging with emotional intensity. they draw it out for hours sometimes because they want to stay in that space where they’re completely wrapped up in each other. lots of not yet, love, i want to feel you like this a little longer and stuff

lots of aftercare that borders on its own kink. wrapping each other up, feeding each other snacks, soft kisses on knuckles, sirius playing with remus’ hair while they come down. they’re both so touch-starved it becomes part of the whole ritual

i'm honestly a little confused by this because i don’t really see that in my own writing. i definitely write from sirius’ perspective sometimes, just like i write from remus’ perspective other times, but when i’m talking about wolfstar in general i feel like i usually try to explore both sides of their relationship.

it’s possible you’ve picked up on a pattern that i haven’t noticed, but it isn’t something i’m consciously doing. i don’t think of sirius as existing to highlight remus, and i definitely don’t think remus’ love for sirius is any less important or interesting. if anything, i spend a lot of time thinking about both directions of their relationship.

i do tend to enjoy writing from sirius’ perspective, though, partly because i feel like i see remus’ pov explored more often in fics and i like spending time in sirius’ head. i also relate to sirius a lot, both in terms of personality and his inner world, so sometimes i’m interested in writing about how he experiences things and sees the people around him. but that’s never meant to make remus shine, or that i think remus’ feelings matter more.
