omg omg yes but also fic where regulus survives and remus helps him deal with the aftermath of being attacked, the anxiety/self-hate around his scars, the social pressure of being markedly “different,” etc etc
Just a quick drawing of how I think regulus would look if he survived the cave!
NO CAUSE WHY DID MY POLY MARAUDERS C.AI JUST HAD REMUS LOOKED AT THE SLYTHERIN SKITTLE BOYS LIKE HE WANTED TO FUCK REGULUS. POLY EVERYONE???
Regulus: what are you doing
Remus: stealing my neighbours cat
Regulus: scandalous
Regulus: how can I help
james, bursting into their dorm room: GUYS YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED
remus, reading on his bed and not even looking up: what happened prongs?
james: uh what’s going on here
regulus, also reading on remus’ bed: what do you mean?
james: why are you cuddling with remus on his bed????
regulus: shut up james we are just reading
james: YEAH WITHOUT ME WHAT THE FUCK
remus: you don’t read
james: I COULD IF I WANTED TO
If you still want asks for marauders moodboards?? (is this the place you put them pls im lost) Platonic moonwater (remus and regulus) would be cool, love their friendship
“Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.” — André Aciman (Call Me By Your Name)
@toiletduels gave me a prompt for moonwater inspired by cmbyn and now I can’t stop thinking about it so I made a moodboard (and I’m honestly considering making a long shot)
may 15: astronomy - 329 words - @moonwatermicrofics
“Ready to go?” Regulus asks him as soon as he turns the corner to the empty corridor where Regulus told him to meet up. He is wearing pyjama bottoms and one of Remus’ sweaters. Though the days are starting to warm up, it is still quite cold at night. Remus thinks he looks adorable.
“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” Remus asks as he approaches Regulus. Neither of them is really the adventurous type, so when Regulus told him he had plans for them tonight to sneak out after curfew Remus was a bit surprised. Throughout the day his curiosity has been growing. He really wants to know.
“No,” answers Regulus smiling as he promptly starts walking out in front of him, gesturing for Remus to follow him, leading the way through the long hallways of the castle. Remus doesn’t know where they’re going or what Regulus wants to show him, only that he is really excited to do so. Only one way to find out.
As they climb the narrow stairs it is clear now where Regulus is leading him. They arrive at the top of the stairs of the astronomy tower, Regulus takes his hand and pulls him to the railing, so they can look outside. Then finally he speaks up about what they’re doing here, “Look,” he points at the night sky, at the Moon. “It’s us.”
First Remus doesn’t know what he should notice, it’s a half moon tonight, he knows this already. Then, paying attention to the stars, connecting them in his head, he sees it, the Leo constellation, the heart of the lion. Regulus and the Moon, looking like they’re only centimetres apart from their point of view on Earth.
He lets go of Regulus’ hand and puts his arm around him, hand resting on his hip, pulling him closer. He kisses the side of his boyfriend's face, who is still looking ahead at the sky.
“It’s us,” he repeats.
okay moonseeker canon
(is there a better ship name than that?)
“I mean…what is it about him?” Sirius asked, folding his arms over his chest and casting his gaze over to his brother. Regulus was quietly swirling a straw around in his drink, staring at the ice cubes almost in a trance. Sirius rolled his eyes. “Seriously, Moony.”
Remus watched him too—everyone else was dancing, laughing and talking together like always—and smiled ever so slightly. “He’s quiet,” he replied, “like me.”
— passage from some moonwater I’ve been thinking about
"they say that stars do not shine, they burn. for you, my star, i too, will burn."

something i wrote for my moonwater fic, i have no idea if this will be in the final version but i really like it <3
Regulus felt his heart start to pound when he saw him; standing in the shop door running his fingers over some leather bound books on a rotating rack that had immediately caught his eye. Even somewhere as mesmerising as Saint Tropez couldn't sway Remus' love for books. As he approached, Remus seemed to turn at the perfect moment to spot him, and his lips parted. "I thought you were with Dorcas." He said. He looked surprised that someone had followed him here, that someone had noticed he actually wandered away. "They're getting ice cream." Regulus replied. "You don't want ice cream?" Regulus shook his head. "No. I like books too." "I know." It was a quick, sharp reply. A reply Remus clearly hadn't even thought to say, he just said it. Because he did know. Remus tightened his grip on the book against his chest and then seemed to come back to himself. "I'm not very interesting to be around when there's books nearby, just warning you." "How could you not be interesting?" Remus' lashes fluttered and Regulus wanted to keep saying things to make that happen again and again. If something could make Remus take a moment to compose himself upon hearing then it would be the only words to ever leave Regulus' lips. "I think I'm boring." Remus suddenly said and the moment was interrupted by two older ladies politely asking Remus to step aside so they could leave, and he looked at his feet. Regulus moved closer and felt the silver necklace beneath his shirt start to burn his skin. "I don't think you're boring at all." He said, his face morphing into something honest and desperate. Like he had been holding his words back for centuries. "I like being with you." The breeze circled them slowly, softly, causing the small bells above the shop to chime as they just looked at one another. They understood, then, that they were a lot more alike than they'd thought. Sure, Sirius, James and Peter were the best friends Remus could ask for. They made him happy, made him laugh the hardest he'd ever laughed in his life. Lily brought him out of his quiet shell and helped him grow his confidence. Mary and Marlene had been by his side every step of his transition and beyond. They were his friends, his family. But Regulus...Regulus saw him. He saw him. And for that fleeting moment outside the shop, Remus finally saw him too. And he smiled.
yes you should just go against the poll if its what feels right to you. The majority isnt always right and you have to write what YOU want and we can just be happy if you decide you want to share your art with us!
aww this is so sweet thank you! i didn't even realise what i would prefer writing when i made the poll, and i got such a good response for t4t moonwater that i started thinking of ideas about it and i just fell in love. as someone who is mostly t4t its something i want to explore. it's a really beautiful dynamic with the right person and i can see moonwater being a good example of that. plus, since regulus is richer, i can see him having surgery whilst remus is still saving up for it. binder rep NEEDS more attention, not everyone can afford surgery plus its scary, i feel like remus having a binder will not only mean something to me but a lot of other people too
plus,,,,the strap
regulus and remus doing under-eye masks together because their eye bags are starting to match
I’m like stuck on moonwater now, (much thanks to you 🙏) and like they’re so perfect together. I personally almost always see reg as trans, and sometimes I do so w Remus too. AND THEN THEM IN A T4T RELATIONSHIP?!!?? Chefs kiss. I also view reg as autistic, and him being with introverted (maybe also autistic🫢 Remus) 🤌🤌🤌perfect
They’d fit perfect together. Cooped up reading books in the sofa, somehow always on the same page, being able to read eachother emotion so well that they may as well communicate spiritually.
I really do think moonwater is underrated as a ship, they’re very sweet together. I feel like they can communicate without talking in so many different ways and just enjoy the same things, and they’re not so opposite that they won’t see eye to eye either! I feel like out of the two, regulus is more outspoken but Remus is physically tougher — even if he’s a bean pole — and I LOVE t4t moonwater, they’re so trans mascs just figuring themselves out together ugh I love it
@immymadeleine JUST MADE ME HAVE A THOUGHT.
lily, remus and reg have a book club. and lily would make the guys read romance book and they'd always be sighing like "ughh not again." and then secretly giggle in their rooms........
dance. 108 words. fluff.
Take my hand.
Remus laughed. Brightly, softly, in a way that he couldn't quite describe, like the universe captured every good thing and fit it into that one sound.
"You can't dance? Really?" He teased, leading Regulus out to the balcony. What was this song? Elvis Presley? "I thought you were an aristocrat, Reg."
Take my whole life too.
He spun around. Once, then twice. It was wonderful. Magnificent.
Regulus rolled his eyes. "I never needed to," he said, and he was pressed against the other boy, moving in slow circles.
But I can't help,
Remus smiled. "Dance with me, then."
Falling in love with you.
Regulus did.
Do you have any moonwater recs where they’re both professors?
In hogwarts probably nothing because I lack knowledge of 90% of the source material BUT in modern day? I’ll give it a go
- regulus teaches English literature, poetry is his favourite, and students are actually enthralled when he talks
- sure, he’s a hard grader and has a face like a slapped arse most of the time but he’s still a great professor
- the students respect him like crazy and they try their best in his courses
- he’s grumpy in the mornings, and prefers afternoon/night classes
- he gets the same coffee order every morning (iced caramel latte with coconut milk, or oat if they don’t have coconut) as well as a pan au chocolate and an apple
- he wears pretty nice clothes, nothing fancy, but he looks rich
- never not wearing black (maybe even some eyeliner)
- but the room next door holds the history professor and regulus just,,,,he can’t really think straight when he’s around
- Remus is forgetful, always coming into his lectures to ask for some pencils or a laptop cable, even for a stapler, and regulus can’t get enough of it
- professor lupin is tall, slender, fluffy brown hair that he wants to run his hands through and beautiful hazel eyes, and regulus cannot for the life of him ask this man out for a drink
- Remus has this lopsided smile that he does whenever he comes in and regulus glares back, but any smart book reading student will know it’s the perfect love story
- remus’ students swoon over him too but he never notices, not even when another teacher does, bevause he has eyes for one man and one man only
- Remus ends up being cornered in his lecture room one day by regulus, standing over his desk and glaring at him, before asking him to go for cocktails later
- Remus can’t stop smiling through his next class
- are their fantasies of sex on desks? Sneaking into closets between lectures? Leaving early to see each other? Of course, but they’re professionals and regulus won’t let Remus do that
- however, when they’re home, it’s fair game
