Old Dogs - Tumblr Posts
I still want fic where R/S doesn't get together for the first time until OOTP, but not in a "we've been pining since we were 11" way, but in a "we both thought we were straight until our 30s" way. Give me bi Sirius who was even engaged to someone during the First War, and literally never once considered that he might also be attracted to men. Give me gay Remus who has had a few lackluster encounters with women and just thought that was how it was supposed to feel (or virgin!Remus, I will push the virgin Remus agenda til the day I die). Give me the two of them stuck together for weeks/months on end in OOTP and grappling with the confusing realization that they find men attractive and they REALLY want to put hands/mouths on each other.
I know everyone on Tumblr loves to push the "we've been in love all our lives" narrative, because I think people just can't conceive that just because you fall in love with someone doesn't mean you would have loved them at any age, at any point in their life. Love isn't just about the right person, it's also about timing.
Anyway give me Wolfstar thinking they were both straight until their 30s and then both having a sexuality crisis.
