This is also really funny because I have this policy where whenever someone attempts to call me out for whatever imagined crimes are being dished up that day, I go through the notes and meticulously block every single person who interacts with said callout. I block anybody who interacts with theerealcowboy, or lucky-strabismus, or neotrances, or the other various callout-mongers and idiots who populate this fertile blue website.

they bond over being losers/outcasts 🫶

^ like they're both seen as weirdos and crazy and stuff by their peers

remus does not really get any of her divination stuff but he likes listening to her talk about it

and on the other hand, sybill doesn't really get any of remus' dada/history stuff but she likes listening to him talk about it

both have something to prove about themselves which is what fuels them and also they support each other about it (even though sybill doesn't really know the thing remus is trying to prove about himself but she can feel it in a way)

they get high together

sybill practices palm readings and tarots and tea leaves, etc. on his all the time so he's had his future read like 100 times and it's always different

^ sybill does sometimes get visions when she's with remus- especially if the marauders are also there- but she never remembers it and remus thinks she's just dissociating or something

high-school sweetheart-esque relationship. but also remus is terrified of actually naming their relationship (ie. saying they're dating/referring to each other as boyfriend & girlfriend) but sybill is perfectly fine with this anyway

they're both very much bi and talk about their crushes on other people a lot

fleetwood mac songs are them.

remus does actually care about fitting in whilst sybill doesn't and that is partially why they break up/stop hanging out

^ but also with them being in an open relationship, sybill is seeing other people whilst remus is not (& he thinks that because sybill is seeing others, she doesn't really like him that much despite the fact he's the one that chose to be in the open relationship), but then remus kisses sirius and feels immense guilt and breaks up with sybill because of that

"But you don't."

He looked at her, but she wasn't looking back. Instead, her eyes were locked on them, standing across the room. They were laughing, tilting their head back as Marlene pushed them of the sofa.

"I want to, though. Maybe with time-"

She turned to him, "I can't see that happening."

His mouth gaped open, "But you love me."

"So what?"

His head flopped against the window in anger or confusion, maybe a mix of both.

"So, I'll return it."

"You can't return it."

"I will. You can't stop me from doing that. I just need a bit of time, maybe it just takes me longer to fall in love but I can do it-"

"Remus!"

He looked at her, her eyes wide and filled with sorrow and knowing. She always knew.

"You do love me, just not enough. Just not in the way we both want."

"What?"

Sybill huffed, turning her head back to them, "How do you feel about Black?"

"Sirius? What the fuck is this?"

"Just- describe how you feel about them, please."

Remus shrugged, "I don't know... they're one of my closest mates. We hang out a lot. People think they're unpredictable but they're the most predictable person I know, maybe because I know them so well. I'd trust them with my life."

Sybill leaned forwards, "What's it like to touch them?"

Remus jumped up in panic, "Sy, what the fuck?"

"Have you ever kissed them?"

He froze.

"While we were together?"

Panic seeped into him, "Why would you think that?"

Sybill pointed to herself, "Seer... And Mary might have seen you, it's why she's been ignoring you, on my behalf. Sorry about that."

"Why are you apologising to me? I cheated on you!"

Sybill shrugged, "I don't really blame you for that. Well I do, but I know I'm partially to blame. I knew you loved them, yet I still went after you, knowing you'd never like me in the same way you like them."

Remus grabbed her hand, "I'm really sorry."

"I know", she smiled, "But I'm strangely glad it happened. Neither of us deserve to be in a relationship where only one of us truly loves the other."

"So... are we broken up?"

Sybill lifted an eyebrow and smirked, "Geez, Re. You couldn't wait at least an hour before dating someone else?"

Remus groaned, "That is not what I meant!"

Sybill laughed loudly.

"Are you really okay with all this?"

Sybill shrugged, "I kinda want to see what dating a girl would be like... but I'll wait at least a week unlike some people."

Remus flopped his head in his hands with a small grin, "that wasn't what I meant!"

Sybill grinned, "you know I'm forever going to be making comments about you cheating on me."

"Fine", Remus folded his arms with a smile.

1993

Remus stood in the great hall, the rest of the teachers all sitting down. He recognised most of them, teachers or classmates from his time at school.

Then a familiar face smirked at him. A face he hadn't seen for almost 15 years now. A face that was about to ruin his reputation amongst the staff.

sybill passed the joint to remus. "what a date, huh?" she asked, smiling, pushing her hair out of her eyes.

"smoking in the greenhouses is, if you ask me, the perfect date. it won't get better." he grinned, taking a long drag and letting his head hit the woode table behind them. "it's not a hogsmeade weekend, so this is the best i can do, really."

she scoffed. "yeah, right!" she laughed. "we could have set out a blanket and had a picnic, yet here we are."

"do you not enjoy my presence nonetheless?" remus asked, pouting dramatically.

"of course i do, you doofus!" she exclaimed, lightly shoving him, which earned her a laugh from the boy. "i don't care where we're spending our time, remus, as long as it's time with you."

"would you go to a swamp with me?"

"of course."

remus put a sloppy kiss to sybill's cheek. "you're a right darling, sybill, did you know that?" he asked.

she could feel her cheeks tinging with pink. of course, she could have gotten used to love already, but she never thought she'd love remus the way she did. she had loved him ever since she met him, of course, but not like that. there was something about him that drew her in. he was ordinary, painfully so, and yet still, he was so... it was hard to explain.

were they polar opposites? of course.

were they almost identical? of course.
