James and Sirius would shout Chappell Roan at the top of their lungs. Prove me wrong.

James and Sirius are lounging on the couch in front of the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, their sides pressed together in a way that speaks of years of comfortable friendship. The firelight bathes the room in a soft, golden glow, crackling gently as it burns, the only sound in the otherwise quiet night. Everyone else has long since retreated to their dorms, leaving the two of them alone in the tranquil warmth.
James stretches out, his head resting on the back of the couch, staring up at the ceiling as if lost in thought. Sirius glances at him, his fingers idly toying with the loose threads of a cushion. The silence between them isn’t awkward—it’s peaceful, easy. It’s the kind of quiet only best friends can share, where words aren’t needed to fill the space.
Without warning, James blurts, “I’m in love with Regulus,” and immediately slaps a hand over his mouth, eyes wide in shock at his own admission. His heart races, and he looks at Sirius, as if expecting an explosion.
But Sirius doesn’t explode. He just smiles, a soft, knowing expression that James rarely sees on him. “I know,” Sirius says quietly, his voice warm and devoid of any judgment.
James hesitantly lowers his hand from his mouth, staring at Sirius in disbelief. “What? And you’re not mad?”
Sirius chuckles, the sound low and reassuring, like the crackle of the fire beside them. “James, when you love someone, you wear it on your sleeve. You always have. It’s one of the most beautiful things about you.” He glances away for a moment before meeting James’ gaze again, the warmth in his eyes unwavering. “And of course I’m not mad. You look happy, mate. Happier than I’ve seen you in a long time.”
“Yeah?” James asks, his voice barely above a whisper, suddenly feeling exposed but hopeful.
“Yeah,” Sirius nods. There’s a brief pause before he adds, more gently, “Maybe I’m a little hurt that you felt like you couldn’t tell me. But that doesn’t mean I hate your love.”
James can’t help it—he practically launches himself at Sirius, wrapping his arms tightly around him, a wide grin splitting his face. Sirius grins just as widely, his arms circling James in return, and he tucks his head into the crook of James’ neck, laughing softly. It’s a moment of pure joy, of relief, of two best friends rediscovering their connection.
When Sirius pulls back, there’s a playful glint in his eye. “Are you two together, then?”
James’ face heats up, and he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. “No. I’m not even sure he likes me back. Actually, I’m pretty positive he hates my guts.”
Sirius snorts, shaking his head. “He doesn’t. Trust me. Regulus has been smiling more these days, and the dark circles under his eyes aren’t as bad as they used to be. From what I’ve noticed, anyway. I think you’ve had a bigger impact on him than you realize.”
James sits up straighter, his heart leaping in his chest. “Really? You think so?”
“One hundred percent.” Sirius nudges him with his shoulder, a crooked grin on his face. “You’ve probably been dying keeping this a secret. So, go on. Tell me about him. What do you love about my little brother?”
James doesn’t need to be asked twice. He grins, eyes lighting up, and begins to talk, his words tumbling over each other in his excitement. He tells Sirius everything—how Regulus’s eyes glint like starlight when he’s amused, how his sharp wit makes James’ heart race, and how, underneath all that cold, polished exterior, Regulus has moments of softness that make James fall for him even more. Sirius listens with a small, fond smile on his face, as James finally allows himself to speak openly about the boy who has quietly stolen his heart.
and if i say that trixie and katya remind me of james and sirius then what?
Imagine thinking Sirius could hate James for dating Regulus. Imagine thinking Sirius could hate James for anything. There is literally no way.
The difference between the Black brothers is that Sirius would scream family line at the top of his lungs, while Regulus would just lay on the floor and sob.
James and Remus are concerned for both of them regardless
PLATONIC MOONFLOWER. PLATONIC MOONWATER. THEY WOULD HAVE A BOOKCLUB TOGETHER.
yes sirius and james would feel betrayed in a silly childish way and yes they would say "it doesn't matter THEY don't get to have us" because they feel left out
Prongsfoot vs. Moonwater (platonic)? Not a this or that question, I have to say. More about which you like better or why you like/dislike them. ☣️
hi again anon!
oooo, okay. i do like them both, a lot, so i dont actually know that i could pick my favourite ahahaha
i love prongsfoot because james and sirius truly are each other's second half. james has always been there for sirius when hes had issues with his family, and sirius has always been right there supporting james with his attempts at wooing whoever you ship him with. one of them is thinking of a prank and the other is already right there with them figuring out how to make it happen. any time they have to keep a secret from the other, it never lasts more than ten minutes. everyone has learned that if you tell one of them not to tell anyone, that means they wont tell a soul other than their other half. i think sirius is slightly more unhinged than james, if only because of the family he grew up with, but james is always there to reign him in and remind him of his morals. but at the same time, sirius is there to push james beyond what he felt he could do. together they definitely become a bit more morally grey, especially when it comes to defending the other. they definitely competed about who could transform into their animagus first (sirius won, and in james' dramatic distress over his loss, he then transformed seconds later). sirius also always helped james figure out quidditch plays when he became captain, even though sirius wasnt on the team anymore. once, though they did have a major fallout. no one knew what it was about, but they didnt talk for a whole three hours. their reunion was very teary and apologetic though.
with moonwater, theyre much quieter about their close friendship, but that doesnt make it any less strong. if one of them doesnt like you, the other wont either, whether you wronged them directly or not. they definitely have bitching sessions together and claim its 'book club' (but they also do actually have a book club). also, since in this scenario, both prongsfoot and moonwater are platonic, they also definitely swoon over james and sirius together. regulus is a little sick of hearing how sexy his brother is though, but he and remus also definitely fake dated at some point, if not actually dated (though decided to stay friends instead). regulus used to wear silver rings, but silently changed to a different metal once he realised remus was a werewolf. they didnt talk about it, though.
l know fanfiction got me when there's two characters who share bed in a platonic way just because they're sleeping better like that. like??? you can't tell me 12y.o. sirius black didn't slip into james's bed every night after summer at least in first two weeks back in school.
and do you remember crimson rivers? that one ruined me with wolfstar&jegulus sleepover scene, I'll never recover after black brothers in this.
also, I love the idea about moonwater like that, remus just big enough to cover reggie completely with his arms. and he's so warm (especially when fullmoon is near), and regulus is just always cold (and calms remus a little in those days).
Sirius's and James's first meeting (aka the start of a tragedy)
He's sitting in front of you with a grin way too wide for his face, his mouth dirty with chocolate, eyes brimming with childlike wonder and you know: You are going to love this boy with all your heart.
And you do. You love him through endless heartbreaks, through war times, through fire and prison, in life and in death.
You love him even as you stand above his lifeless body, even as you lie in an endless darkness slowly forgetting his voice, even as you stare into a face that both is and isn't his; because loving him is all you are, all you have, the only form of love you've ever known.

the bestest of besties 🙇♀️
What if Sirius couldn’t transform while he was in Azkaban so he was just stuck there forever and no one ever found out that he was innocent.
Harry would hate him.
Remus would spend the rest of his life thinking that Sirius was the traitor.
Wouldn’t that be so fun :)
The giving tree is so James Potter coded what
Take absolutely everything that I have so that I can be helpful to you because if there’s nothing that I can do for you, then there’s no reason for you to want to be around me and I have no purpose in life.
Marlene: gun to your head, kill either lily or sirius
James: the gun would go off
