decided to make a sort of master post for @thistlecatfics, @blackstarkink and my rp turned fic series "never craved attention until i tasted your -extended universe-" fun fact, the original series, "never craved attention until i tasted yours" has fewer fics than this alt one, which seemed to have taken over our brains for now. originally prongsfoot and moonwater endgame turned into wolfstar, jily and kingsley/reg, but hey, we are not complaining. aas a matter of fact we are a bit obsessed. and we want to drag you all into this obsession with us.
we simply love toxic and problematic and second chances because well... that's life.
featuring chubby alcoholic (later in recovery) sirius black, ED (later in recovery) posh regulus, post-car crash broken baker remus who is terrible at therapy, kingsley is a king as usual, the best of best james. includes pining, infidelity and wrong choices, coping in ways that are terrible for the characters and everyone around them. and most of all lots of hope.
below you can find all the fics in the series so far in chronological order (and yes prongsfoot is present in our extended universe too because 'never saw one without the other' is canon)
✦ it lingers (and claws you when you're down)
by @thistlecatfics Sirius Black/James Potter, Sirius Black/Mundungus Fletcher, Sirius Black/Sturgis Podmore, Regulus Black & Sirius Black M || 5k || mind the tags Five times Sirius said no. One time he said yes.
✦ love handmade for someone like me.
by @thistlecatfics (Sirius) and diamondmeadows (James) Sirius Black/James Potter E || almost 20k || 2 chapters || fave tag: the highs and lows of dry humping your best friend for the first time In November in year 13, Sirius skips James’s rugby match, and they don’t exactly fight about it. Or - James is not gay. Sirius is a little drunk. Those facts balance each other out.
✦ guard down for you.
by @thistlecatfics (Sirius) and diamondmeadows (James) Sirius Black/James Potter E || 4.6k || fave tag: bros being bros A month after their confusing encounter, James finds himself confused with Sirius once again. At least this time it’s just a dream. They can just say it was a dream.
✦ claim the dreamer from the dream.
by @thistlecatfics (Sirius) and diamondmeadows (James) Sirius Black/James Potter E || 4k~ || 1/2 chapters || fave tags: Sirius' normal relationship with alcohol, James' normal relationship with Sirius A Christmas escalation. Or, what’s a blow job between friends?
✦ I'm a self-destructive landslide if you want to be the hill
by @thistlecatfics Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, Regulus Black/Remus Lupin E || 4.6k || fave tag: Walburga is dying and Sirius isn't dealing with it well Walburga Black is dying, and, even if he’ll admit he’s drinking a bit more than he ought to at the moment, Sirius doesn’t care at all. He does, however, need to apologize to Remus. By the end of the night, he owes a few more apologies.
✦ if you want spotless, i'll always lose
by @thistlecatfics (featuring @blackstarkink in chapter 2, 3) Sirius Black/Remus Lupin E || 24k~ || 4/? chapters || fave tags: older wolfstar, eventual happy ending Sirius knew starting an affair with his brother’s boyfriend would end terribly, but he underestimated just how hard rock bottom would hit. He also underestimated just how much sobriety could offer him. Then, decades later, he and Remus try again.
✦ landslide.
by diamondmeadows Sirius Black/Remus Lupin M || 10k || fave tag: Sirius only physically appears at the end of the fic but he is actually all over it Remus thinks of pulling his scarf up to cover his chilled face, but somehow he doesn’t seem to be capable of moving even an inch. It’s mockery or just an irony of fate that the water beneath him does. It keeps gurgling loudly as it’s taken down along the rapid current heading towards the North Sea. The water beneath him doesn’t care about his unwise choices, his betrayal, his scattered thoughts or feelings. It doesn’t even beckon him, which would surely be one of the choices if he were a main character in a book or a film, but unfortunately, this is just real life. His life. Which means: Remus has to live with the consequences of his own actions. -or- Remus is a canonic runner and this is a fic to honour the fact.
