Hey lol, so I finished rwrb in like less than a day and Iām entering abstinence, do you know any cool fic recs to fill this void? Xo
OMFGOMFG OMFG!!!!
Hiya my little RWRB duckling!!!!
I wish I could apologize for the void you have suddenly found yourself thrust within, but like this was expected and I feel like I warned you :P But itās okay I love you enough that Iāll be cute and listen to the request ;) klsajdglkasjdofiajewghsljd
Okay so like in all honesty, Iām trash, and even though I run āthe fandom serverā for it, I havenāt read much FIC for RWRB at all, and itās simply because it was around the time the panoramic really hit and I reverted to my wolfstar roots LMFAO but Iāll list some really amazing works/peeps below.
The Poem You Make of Me » Cmere » Like obviously my first recommendation, like obviously itās Bethany!!! But listen, listennnn. Sheās quite literally the most talented, most remarkably gifted soul i have ever met! The way you will just absolutely devour her words!! She will make you laugh, and sob and get Henry on main and get contemplative for no God damn good reason! And this is her magnum opus!! Her master piece!! Itās based off of a conversation in canon in which Henry says if he was born into a normal family, heād be w writer, and Alex says heād be a model. So Beth just went ahead and constructed such a rich and beautiful story full of magnificence and beauty and poetry and getting to see it coming from her rough drafts to standing as like one of the best pieces of fiction I HAVE EVER READ has been such a ride, and I will forever be thankful for this story!!!
If You Hold Me Without Hurting Me, Youāll Be the First Who Ever Did » Cmere » I could really just list off this bitches entire fucking repertoireā but I wonāt. But if the former is her magnus opus, this is simply just the most heart aching and glitteringly gorgeous thing I have ever readā EVER READā- itās Henryās perspective of his and Alexās time in the Lake House, and her ability to wiggle into Henryās mind and stroke out such gorgeous words and perfect characterization and flawless thought processesā it makes me go static with feelings and I will forever hate her for this!!!
The Bet » bleedingballroomfloor » Iāve only ever heard the best things from this FIC!!! Mal is a gorgeous writer and a brilliant mind and so, so wonderful! This is definitely a Fandom classic, hands down, and one of those things you have to read if youāre part of it!! And God, I donāt wanna spoil anything, but everyone has one specific part in this FIC that made them absolutely dissolve and I canāt wait to feel the full impact once I read it and cry about it and yell at this whore for it!!
Also absolutely anything by @tedddylupin @im-captain-egg @bi-disaster-fsotus is ABSOLUTELY SURE to be glorious!!!! <3<3<3 Beautifully sided little hoes!!!
And just because Iām conceded, Iām gonna add in my own FIC that Iām sorta proud of lol, donāt give me that look Linda!!! I do what I want!!!
The Spoken On The Edge Of The Unspoken »» Me, PrefectMoony » Henry figuring out what it means to be happy, and falling in love with Alex on the wayā¦. āORāĀ AU in which Alex and Henry are Volleyball rivals and they fuck a lot and stumble into love.
If you want any other recommendations donāt be shy!!! I love pimping out my talented friends!!! <3 <3 <3

Okay but best friends Remus and Regulus š Regulus being protective of Remus towards his own brother is comedy gold
Referencing This Post
OMFG BABEY!!!! I KNOWWWWW!!!!
I absolutely am MAD over the idea over their dynamic!!! It just feels so wonderful to me! Theyāre both so dry and sarcastic IMHO and both seem to have a tendency to stay reserved and aloof, especially in front of folks who they donāt consider important to them, only real when theyāre aroundĀ friends and family. It reminds me a tun of the back and forth of Declan and Adam IMHO, especially that one scene in TRB (Or maybe Dream Thieves?? IDK iām dumb) when Adam is taking both him and Ronan to taskā like yes boo defend your boyfriend to his over baring brother but also criticize him, bahaha. God I hope that we get so much more of that in Mr Impossible!!!
But also like with Regulus, I love Declan to bits and always have hahahaĀ
But back to Remus and Regulus being bros, I just see them having their own language and such a quick wit and banter with one another and idk in my head from that post, I see them befriending one another accidentally with like Remus maybe taking Regulusās typical table at the library or campus coffee shop, and Regulusā being the highfaluting son of aristocracy that he isā goes over to give him a quiet tongue lashing, and Remus is just absolutely ignoring his rant while he continues reading his textbook and sipping his caramel macchiato and when Regulus is done heās like, āGrab an extra seat or leave me the hell alone,ā so obviously Regulus is like, *Finally someone whoās my level of bitch* and they fucking vibe.
And then itās like senior year, and theyāve been living together for like three semesters, and Siriusā whoās basically like Regulusās pseudo parent because both of theirās snuffed it and Sirius is nearly a decade his seniorā pops by randomly from the other end of town, because he needs like Regulusās passport or some shit to plan for their vacation with Lily and James during Christmas and itās the first time heās visited during school term because they live in the same damn city and whatever.
And listen Linda!!!! Homie did not expect to open the door only to be smacked in the face with an entire fucking entree!!! A five course meal!! A babe to have shamed all babes!!! And heās like gobsmacked and moving his mouth and trying to make words happen, and Remus is just like, *Holy fucking shit is Regulusās older brother so damn hot.* And like obviously trying to figure out how to get railed and all that fun stuff. And then obviously Regulus would walk in, carrying take out, and heād give Sirius a long suffering sigh for not calling or texting before hand. And then he would watch the way his older brother is so obviously trying to impress his roommate/best friend, talking about his degrees and his job and some batshitĀ case Regulus knows heās already finished with like a month ago. So obviously he has to pop like five Advils because damn it his brother is trying to get into Remusās pants and itās a whole shit show.
This would probably include protective Regulus, and preening/pining Sirius, and Remus wondering how he could make the Black brothers dance like monkeys for him that particular day hahahahaha
Okay also, this reminded me of reading this absolutely delicious FIC from the total babe @livelovelupin  » Fate and Other Ambiguous Notions !!!!Ā Ithas Slytherin!Remus, and Regulus and Remus being besties, and Sirius being a pining fool!! And itās everything!!
Ugh, yāall I really want to write something like this now laksdjglkasdghoiaefjdklsghzlk.,gsjalhgjkĀ

Yes yes yes to all of the things you just reblogged about tiktok and atyd. I've been in the fandom since the terms used where slash and lemon. So a while. I don't know if it because lots of new fans are really young (I'm talking 13-15 years old. Literal children) but I've been the one who now feels "uncomfy" in the fandom because well, I like complex, raw and real portray of characters and not versions reduced (by the readers) to a bunch of bullet points taken religiously. Where everything else is sinā¢. And it's not even about atyd or its author really (who shockingly, left the fandom. I reaaally wondered why) bc their other r/s fic is bloody great (it's a hairdresser/band Au. Highly recommend) but it's mature and I'm pretty sure would be considered really problematic by the same people (especially the bits about Remus past). I'm seeing a trend in this fandom that I absolutely do no like. Atyd is a fanfiction. Nothing more. Everyone has their hc. And if you are a child do not consume media that's not made for you. Fanfic authors are not responsible for your inability to read tags. If they want to write pwp (with or without the plot) and you feel uncomfy bc you are a child and description of sex should make you uncomfortable DON'T READ IT. If you are 14 your understanding of adults is not complete, because you aren't one. You can't know. But if I, an adult, wants to write a lie low at lupins where two other adults take out their frustration by having angry sex after a shouting match of insults and low blows well, Im bloody hell writing it and won't be made feel bad about it.
sugar pop!!! this entire rant is LEGIT SO FUCKING ON POINT!!! truly āØsexy as fuck⨠and i LOVE IT!!!
ok so first off THIS POST by @eyra is just amazing and that angel is so much more eloquent and so much smarter and more precise than I could ever be so if you have not read that, plz do so immediately!!
but off to give my too sense khdujfdykhfjjghļæ¼
I think you were specifically talking about my tags about how I was just indifferent about ATYD and then began actively disliking it because of the fucking TikTok feed! Like literally, folks began using ATYD as a replacement in tags for like marauders and shit, and that was INSANE to me!! And like this is absolutely no hate to the author because Iām sure they are lovely, and they should obviously be so fucking proud of what they wrote and how huge it is, but JFC I hate it when folks find one FIC to latch onto and pretend this is the end all be all for FICs written for marauders era, this was way before my time, but Iāve been told countless times over that this was basically what happened when The Shoebox Project came out, and itās just maddening to me!! Like ppl taking characterizations from a specific FIC and pretending this is the holy grail, only valid thing??? Like fuck off, no! And itās also pretty obvious, and Iām sure the author wouldnāt be insulted by this, but ATYD feels very inspired by the movie versions of the marauders we got, and I just simply donāt vibe with those sort of personifications rip.
But this expounds further, like you highlighted in your ask.
TIKTOK COMMENTARY IS SO FUCKING BLACK AND WHITE AND IT MAKES ME INSANE!!!! It feels so ingenuous and phony, and like so many of these folks are in some sort of āwoke olympicsā or some shit. And listen, this has nothing to do with fucking representation so donāt bring that into my inbox. Iām literally a neurodivergent, pansexual, brown girlā Trust and believe I love all different representation e get and absolutely crave it to a tee. The problem comes when folks begin vilifying others for āproblematicā things they write, as if topics like such havenāt been written FOR CENTURIES! and havenāt been explored countless times in traditional media, so yes, Fanfic can both be a valid form of media while also being just a way for some people to get out some practice or whatever the fuck else. Also you donāt know what the fuck trauma people have been through, and I know if I wrote about my experiences, I absolutely will not be validating them by giving you guys my sorted history or what the fuck else, that shit is for me and my future therapist lmfao.
I think we all have no gos, and I think we all know the large ones that I personally am thinking of, so I wonāt name them here, but like Iām not going to go into someones comments section or their Tumblr inbox and yell at them for it, hell, I probably wonāt even subtweet about it unless itās mad vague, I keep that shit in the DMs, like a fucking decent human beingā and this does not include a server of 100s of folks, becs thatās still shitty, and I know as a Admin for my own server, Iāve had to scold folks for shit talking certain FICs in RWRB and told them to keep it in the DMs, even if I agree completely with what theyāre saying.Ā
However, Iāll include the caveat that itās really, really important to listen to people in those actual communities, like queer folk or people of color, who find portrayals problematic. Like they absolutely do not owe it to us to speak their minds, but when they do, we HAVE TO LISTEN. But Iām going on a tangent, I think my main point here is thatā¦
NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!!!Ā
Thatās the flat out truth, and if shit like toxic relationships or sexual writings, or whatever the fuck else isnāt your cup ofĀ tea, yuh mood. Hell, we probably agree, but why are you out here making a TikTok scolding this characterization or trope or whatever??? As if a majority of us arenāt above 18 and like writing and reading about sex BECAUSE THATāS A PART OF ADULT LIFEā unless of course you are on the Ace spectrum, then you of course are completely valid for not caring for it.
Just, listen . AO3 is miraculous for a lot of things, but their tagging system is absolutely fucking incredible. Folks are out there giving their entire triggers list in the tags, and in the rating, and if not, I will bet my bottom dollar that they talk about it in the Notes section before the FIC, so itās on you to fucking read it and understand what your getting into. The only responsibility a writer has is to warn you in those sections, LEGIT THATāS ALL THEY HAVE TO DO!! And like listen, when I was a wee ten year old trying to read FIC, I was stuck with fucking FF net and read shit I definitely shouldnāt have been reading becs I wasnāt lucky enough to have AO3 and all of the ways it protects and warns minors.Ā
Okay, Iām not sure where exactly Iām going with this, but this was a good way to let off some steam tbh lakfsdjlkgjaeoighklsdg so thank you Nonny!!!
And if you write this angry sex LLAL FIC PLEASE FUCKING HIT MEĀ UP!!! Thatās the shit my angst ridden mind loves to see!!! This is why first war era is my absolute favorite thing! Because we can still get these moments of fluff and light heartedness, amidst all the mistrust and pain and the way that a heart wrenching sort of love spills across all of it, ugh itās so good!!! Awful for my emotions, but SO FUCKING GOOD!!! bahahahaĀ

I love your last prompt fill!!! Wondering what Siriusā reaction to finding out Remusā theatre snogs with Fabian š§
OH MY GOD BABE!!!! You are SO BEYOND SWEEEET!!!!!Ā I get so flustered when folks ask for HCs from FICs Iāve already published becs I canāt believe anyone cares and Just do a little happy dance that probs makes me look insane and my puppy judge me on flaksdgjlasdkhfaoiegj But okay Iāll stop being a dweeb!!!
So at first, when you said theatre my mind went to Remus playing Mercutio for some reason and then i was like homie doesnāt kiss anyone and Sirius would definitely j be focussing on dem leggings bahahaha But yes, yes, to Remus and Fabs snogging at the movies!!
Honestly, I donāt think heād think much of it, becs crazy jealous is not my taste, and they werenāt even slightly together until the end of the ficā mutually pining idiots? Yes, definitely. But not together. But I do think that if he does find out, (Probably by Dorcas whoās ribbing at him becs sheās an icon) Sirius will just get pissy that he wasted so much time where he couldāve been touching and holding and kissing Remus properly, instead of other assholes. So he def just coincidentally takes him to the same theatre that weekend and just plunders his mouth with some vendetta, and Remusās mama didnāt raise no fool so he knows exactly whatās going on here, but like also doesnāt care even slightly. This version is way more self conscious than I usually write him, so heās probably just thrilled that Sirius is trying to stake a claim or proove something laksdjglaskdfoaighsdghfkjl;ads
But Sirius also gives Fabian the evil eye anytime he even glances Remusās way, and Remus actually does take him for task for that, because before anything started going on, he was good friends with him, and Sirius apologizes and starts nipping at that tenant in Remusās neck and they basically do not talk about it for the rest of the night because they be doing other things teehee (Pssst, itās smashing, they be smashing)Ā
Thank you SO SO much for the ask gorgeous and Iām sorry Iām such a dweeb!!! XSĀ

Referring to THIS FIC and THIS HC POST
OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!!! BABY!!! ANGEL FACE!!!! HABIBTI!!!! I AM ABSOLUTELY SOBBING!!!! I LITERALLY CAN NOT STOP HYPERVENTILATING AND READING THIS AND CRYING AGAIN!!!! YOU ARE LITERALLY THE MOST HILUA, MOST CHAFEEF DEM, MOST SPLENDID SUGARPOLUM BLOSSOM!!!! AND I WANT TO SQUEEZE YOU WITH THE BIGGEST FUCKING HUG!!!
This means so SO much! Because itās obviously so personal to me, considering Iām a Palestinian, and Iāve never EVER had Arab representation that wasnāt shit in the media that I loved, and I was nervous HCing his mum as Arab, becs obvi we donāt have even the fucking letter āpā in our language flkasdjglkasdhfoiejaglksdgh but I simply do not care anymore! I do what I want and imma write it this way as many times as I like!!!
Iām so SO happy that it feels genuine habibti! Like I said in my Headcanons post, I know that there must be some small differences considering the ethnicities, but also I feel like we Arabs in that area (AKA Jordan/Syrian/Palestinian/Lebanese have a lot in common <3 <3
God, I want to write so many snippets with this HC! Like him teaching the gang Debka!! Or Mama Lupin putting Hinna on them when they come to visit, and I HC Lily having visited him without the others a few times, so her too<3<3
I canāt believe that anyone else likes this self indulgent HC of mine alkdjlka sdfoiaejglskadhĀ
I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY!!!! And if you ever wanted anything written specifically about this ya umeri, I would cry to write it!!!!
Iām also going to include the first half of the first chapter I wrote for this To All The Boys Iāe Loved Before au Iām working on, in which Remus is also half Arab, though I think I might edit it and make him Palestinian just because Iām conceded like that XS And I really, really want to want to write it again, but my brain is refusing to think words!!!
THANK YOU A THOUSAND MILLION TIMES FOR THIS YOU BEYOND BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!!

āItās because he adored her little love.ā
āBut why?ā Remus asked, looking up at his mother and admiring how her eyes had shone in the dying evening light, and how her dark tawny hair had bellowed in the sea breeze. Their little family had decided to have a picnic on the beach before the summer warmth gave way to the trickling autumnal chill, and Remus was so elated. He loved spending time with the other kids around their small Welsh village, (he did)āĀ But he liked this most of all. Loved it when his Mama would croon to him her favorite tales and when his Tad would teach him how to find the flattest peddles to skip. When he wasĀ being enveloped in the love that rung out their home like the tolls of the most splendid bells.
Small, upturned nose wrinkled with humor, his mother had only laughed as she carded a hand through his fair curls. āI couldnāt tell you Remi, but he did. Was positively mad about her, thatās why they still call it the story of Majnun Layla.ā
āCrazy for Layla,ā Remus translated the ArabicĀ easily which made her smile like the setting sunā glowing but nostalgic. Remus wondered if he saw a bit of sorrow in his motherās face too, which didnāt make sense until a few weeksĀ later, whenĀ they had quietly sat Remus down in their small living roomā sandwiched between both of themā and wasĀ told of his mumās diagnosis, her illness that would slowly chip away at her vivacity and vibrancy and even her vigilance too. It would be the firstā but certainly not the lastā time he would ever see his parentsā his heroesā look so beaten down, so defeatedā so vacant of any life.
āYes precisely little love.ā
āAnd you know Remi,ā his Da had interjected.Ā āThe poets say that love and insanity are a fine line.ā
Remusās face had scrunched up, displeased. āSounds awful.ā
āOnly sometimes,ā he retorted, a sly wink thrown his Mamaās way before kissing each of them, and finishing off his Guinness with a swig, wincing slightly when his Mama had elbow checked him for good measure.
āBut love is worth it, wouldnāt you say Lyall?ā Remusās Mama asked in a gently withering way, her beautiful face set in a well and proper scowl.
his Daās smile had absolutely transformedā turning as bright as the stars in the night sky and as strong as a heartbeat, but flecked with that same sadness Remus could just barely detect in his Mamaās own. He wish he knew how to ask about it. āAye Vivian, my darling of course. Every bit of madness is worth it in the end, when you meet your other half, your soulmate.ā
They leveled a tender glance over Remusās head, but he didnāt care, became soon distracted by the French cheese that he especially liked and the fizzy cider his parents gave him when they drank their adult beverages.
Remus didnāt have to ask about soulmates, he already knew what they were, had been saturated by the sight of them every day in his short, four and a half year old life. Soulmates were folks who adored one another more than anything else, āSave for you of course my little love,ā his mother would always interject when he said as much. His parents were soulmates, Remus was sure of it. Saw it in how his Tad would look at his Mama with softness in his gaze and how his mother smiled this strange, delighted way only at him. Knew it in how their words were almost always soaked in mirth and how they held Remus like he was a miracle to be marveled at. Remus with his fatherās butterscotch eyes, and Remus with the shape and colorĀ of his motherās pale pink lipsā plump on the bottom and thin on top. With his sandy hair that hovered between both their shades but sprung with curls all his own. Remus with his Mamaās mischief and Tadās quiet. Remus who they loved and taught what it meant to love and be loved.
He knew that his parents were mad for one anotherā truly soulmatesā and he was so prideful in theĀ fact of it.
āTad are you crazy for Mama? Just like that Qays boy?ā He asked just for fun, twisting out of her gentle embrace and leaping into his fatherās strong arms.Ā
āShould hope so laddy,ā he said, tossing Remus and all his giggling excitement up in the air before catching him again. āSoulmates will do that to you I reckon, ās why Iāve got all these gray hairs before even hittingĀ forty.ā
āVein fool,ā his Mama tooted with a smile.
āEasy for the beautiful ones to tease,ā Lyall leered, narrowly dodging another cuff to the back of his head.
Remus had laughed even louder when they began to scuffle,Ā and he didnāt quite see it when his motherās grin became thin, worn in ways that would become all the more prominent over the course of the next three years.
~*~
Remus reads the poem of Majnun Layla now as he sits on his bedā over a decade removed from that night, and years divorced from the last time he saw his motherās hazel eyes gazing at him. The tattered book in his hands is small and faded, pages divided in their original Arabic and itās English counterpart that Remus tries not to depend on. He remembers how excited his Mamaā lying in the hospital bedā had been when heād read out loud the rounded continents, and unfamiliar inflections to her, how she thought it was a way to pay respect to her Syrian parents who had died shortly after moving their family to Wales so that Vivian could attend university. And it might be some sort of poetic justice that heās only become more fluent after her own, untimely passing.
But as much as Remus would like to continue on practicing, the shouts being flung between Lily and Petunia in the next room over is starting to get too distracting. Besides, it smells like his Tad has finally finished with dinner. So tentatively, Remus shuts the book of stories that had belonged to his Mama,a and places it in the ornate, wooden box that had been past down through her side of theĀ family for five generations. Once a proper prayer box, it had transformed into merely a beautiful heirloom as they became more and more secular. Now Remus keeps his most prized possessions within it, including the book, and photographs of his Mama, but also expanded to ones of him and his best friend turned step sister, Lily. The movie stub from his first date after coming out in junior high, and a few other things heād rather keep away from his nosey familyās grasp. Including the stash of love letters Remus had written and never sent. Letters filled with passionate words and intense emotions, and a good amount of longing too.
It was a trick he picked up from his Tad, who told him that throwing fists at the bullies in the courtyard wasnāt appropriate, that he should write out his frustrations in a letter and then toss it out. Itās habit now he supposes. Whenever Remus finds himself turning absolutely barmy with feelings over some bloke, he sits on the windowsill of his room, and he jots it all down in one of these missives.
If heās being at all honest,Ā theyāre truly dreadful letters, sickeningly intense serenades of his feelings for these people that for the most part didnāt even know he existed. Sometimes, just for a laugh,Ā Remus pulls them out and cringes at himself for being so lovesick, but then reasons its not his fault. His parents had the sort of love storyĀ and subsequentĀ relationship that was meant for blockbuster romantic comedies. adoring one another at first sight once meeting randomly at a coffee shop, and falling all the harder amidst their budding romance that turned to a marriage built with brimstone and vows of forever. They even had that sort of tragic ending that gilded the classics.Ā
Itās ridiculous to think Remus wouldnāt always secretly crave that sort of intimacy, that sort of partnershipā even if heās always been far too inhibited to actually make a move for it. After all, as much as he remembers how it looks to be in love with someone so thoroughly that it quite literally lights you from the inside out, heās far more familiar with the aftermath. With the ruin and ravaging of someoneās heart once their other half leaves them.
He remembers the tears and the shattered eyes and the smothered sobs drown out by the drinks that almost got away from his Tad.Ā
So no.
Remus thinks that getting burned might not be worth the stint of short lived happiness. He thinks he prefers the quiet kisses and shy hands heās known so far. Prefers feeling a warm sunlight when touching his partner, over the supernova that he can chase instead.
And if Remus is lying to himselfā¦. Well thatās no one elseās business.
.-
Mornings in the Lupin/Evans household is nothing short of a circus.
Itās a delicate cohabitation he reckons, one painted with Petuniaās shouts over Lily leaving her trash in their shared room, and Lilyās prodding over Petunia trying to contour her too large nose, all the way to his Tad burning the toast downstairs and his step mother, Angela, begging Valery to wear something more sensible than her bathing suit to school. Which of course isnāt helped by Remus trying to drown them out by playing the Rap Caviar playlist from Spotify as loud as his speakers let him as he showers and tries to drown out their insanity.
A delicate cohabitation indeed.
.ā
Dressed in the beige slacks and scarlet blazer uniform for his first day of classes, Remus hurriedly sprits on the cologne Angela had picked out for him while they spent their holiday in France over the summer, and ruffles a hand through his combed hair. Just because heās got the prefect badge doesnāt mean he has to look like such a damn swot all the time.
Sadly, it doesnāt seem to have helped, because the moment he walks out with his satchel, heās met by Valeryā her strawberry blonde hair (the same as Lilyās) plaited down her back and her crooked nose thatās an exact replica of Lyallās scrunched. āYou look like a professor.ā
Remus sighs, long suffering. āThanks sprog.ā
āIām turning eight in three weeks Remus!ā She cries, completely affronted and stomping her foot. āIām not a baby.ā
āRight, whatever you say,ā he laughs and tugs affectionately at his younger sisterās braid while they stroll downstairs. āSo you got any intel on whatās going on with Lilās and Petunia?ā
Valery leaps right then, brightening ten fold at the sudden change in conversation. āOh yeah! Lily told Toonie that she canāt take that silver sequent top with her at university since she hasnāt even got any tits, and then Toonie started shrieking about Lily being insufferable and all that. And then she asked if she was just mad that Fabian isnāt coming over.ā
Forgive my ehm bluntness and lack of poetic words bc it's almost 2am but "#i suck"????? How dare you??? That was beautiful ughhh I absolutely loved it. That's it. That's my absolute favorite trope, wolfstar at its finest, them sharing a something that's so much more than love, it doesn't have a name. And it's hard to describe but you managed to. If soul mates ever existed they are the proof. I just want to scream how beautiful that was. Their are literally the definition of "it's you. It's always been you" fuck I'm emotional
JFC angel!! HOLY FUCKING GOD!!šš this is one of those messages that I read, and then I have to sit there for a few minutes, and then I have to walk around my room and then I wanna sob!!!!
This is so beyond kind!!! I want to acream to the sky!!!!šš
Just thank you!! Thank you and thank you and THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVERš£š£š£šššššš„ŗ you are such a lovely soul!!
But also YUUUUS! I completely agree, I recently read some thing that said soulmates are made not innate, and thatās simply the definition of sirius and Remus!! Like the romantic side of me just adores the concept of soulmates on some level, but also I prefer them to be something you choose by yourself and what u cultivate with another person Who you decide every day to spend the rest of your life withšøšø
But like to uour point, I also just think that there is some thing ingrained and some thing tugging them together thatās beyond words!! Like an energy shift between them and itās just electric but warm and just all the intensity combined with the deepest friendship!!!
