this is the kind of blog to peruse with a fluffy blanket over your legs and a cup of tea in your hand, if that happens to be your sort of thing. expect fluff around every corner and warmth in every word i’ve written, if i’ve done it right.
previously sunlitspence and exclusively a criminal minds blog, i made the decision to turn this into a multi fandom blog!

prompt from @redeyesthicthighs: I have been thinking about our girl Vix & craving some good ol’ hurt/comfort with a touch of groveling from one of the boys... I feel like we tend to see Sirius or James be the ones to step wrong and then have to fix it but… I know we are all obsessed with Remus and he truly is an angel (I KNOW! YOU KNOW I KNOW!) but how do you think he would grovel?
poly!marauders x vixen!reader who Remus needs to apologize to [1.3k words]
CW: fem!reader, Remus yelled at her/told her off off screen, Remus-centric, begging for forgiveness, hurt/comfort and fluff
“Sirius, I think you ought to at least pretend to be a little less happy about how upset your girlfriend is right now.” Remus scolded instead of acknowledging the fact that he was currently in the wrong.
Sirius simply snorted at him. “Of course I’m not happy about my girlfriend being upset, Moony. I’m just thoroughly enjoying the fact that it’s not my fault.”
”It doesn’t hurt that Moony was the arse this time.” James added rather unhelpfully.
“I wasn’t an-” Remus started as he stood straighter, cutting himself off and taking a steadying breath. He really was sort of an arse. It was the day after a full, Remus was feeling particularly sorry for himself - his hip seemingly giving him more problems today than it had in months - and you had been your normal, vibrant, effervescent self.
The way Remus spoke to you probably had you thinking that was a crime worthy of Azkaban.
You’d taken off - of course you had - because who would want to stick around to be spoken to like that?
could I request a Remus fic where he’s known and liked reader for a while and she’s recently had a glow up and is skeptical about her newfound attention? you don’t have to tho thank you <3
ty for requesting !! fem
You’re a cloud of dainty perfume as you flop down beside him. “That’s so weird.”
“What’s weird?” Remus asks, half-paying attention to you, his other half trying to finish the sentence he’d been reading.
“There was a boy at the front of the cafe trying to open the door for me even though I was already opening it myself, and then he, like, stood there holding it for a bit after I’d already come in.”
“Is it possible,” Sirius butts in, because of course he does, a cigarette between his fingers unlit, “that he was flummoxed by your beauty, lovely girl?”
You drive your face into Remus’ arm. “Not this again.”
“You’ve always been beautiful,” Sirius concedes, unaware or unaffected by your bashfulness, “but lately you’ve got quite the glow. I’ve been trying to hook you for weeks. Haven’t you noticed?”
Remus smiles at his friend, digging in his jacket for a lighter to throw him. Sirius opens his hand and catches it gracefully. “She’s always been beautiful,” he says agreeably.
“Be back in a minute.”
You lift your head only after his footfall has faded away, gaze first at the window where Sirius has gone to smoke outside, and then the table where Remus is laying his book to rest. “I can’t stand him when he does that.”
“Does what?”
“Acts like I’m prettier than I am.”
“When does he do that?” Remus asks, not quite monotone but getting there.
“You know what I mean.”
“Do I? You’re lovely, and Sirius can’t not notice because he’s Sirius.”
“Can’t not attribute every weird man’s behaviour to my change in appearance.”
“You’ve changed,” Remus acquiesces. “And boys notice you more, but I think that’s more to do with your sudden propensity for smiling and walking around with your chin up than any haircut or lipgloss.”
“Oh, quite right, professor.”
He pinches your thigh, savouring the laugh that bubbles out of you and your little jump in your seat. “You’re a trollop, is that what you want to hear?” he asks.
Your face falls to your chin, and yes, Remus has liked you almost since he met you, and yes, your recent change in appearance has made you more eye-catching, but he means it when he says the pull of your demeanour is your new confidence. You’re stunning, the smile you give him, that hint of brightness in your eyes as you start to squint, it yanks sorely between his lungs. He wants to kiss you now more than he ever has before.
“You really think he held my door ‘cos he thought I was pretty?” you ask.
“I didn’t say that, did I? Sirius did.” He stands and stretches, feeling bold but not brave. “I think he held your door because you’re the most beautiful girl in any room you walk into, but what do I know?” he asks, grabbing his empty coffee cup from the small table in front. “I’ll get you a coffee.”
“You dick,” you mutter. Such a short sentence, and yet he can tell you’re flustered without turning around to see it for himself.
It’s a good thing —if he were to see you now, your shy smile, he’d end up telling you exactly how he feels about you.
coat stays on [1.3k] - you and remus are at an evening market, and you might have lost the rest of your friends, but you're pretty content to be together.
i'd love to love you, someday [1.4k] - confessing his feelings to you is not a walk in the park, but remus tries his very, very best.
silly, lovely fool [0.5k] - remus takes a bludger to the face for you and is very proud of himself.
steady pressure [1.4k] - you’re overwhelmed and exhausted and teary and remus is going to make it better no matter what.
bluebells [0.8k]- remus has picked flowers for you and sirius thinks that’s disgusting, really.
EVERY SINGLE ONE
genuinely awe struck at how in love I feel when I read these. Truly talent <3
what an utterly lovely thing to say!! thank you so so much for such incredible words, i all so glad you enjoyed them <3
BRIDGERTON Season 3 Kanthony | Sneak Peek
Hello!!! I absolutely love love love your work <333 I was wondering if I could request a Remus x fem!reader fic where reader went out with the girls and drank a littleee too much, she got home super late and Remus had fell asleep waiting for her maybe she tries to be quiet but Remus wakes up bc of course he does and gets her ready for bed while she (affectionately) talks his ear off😭 my heart
Sorry this is super specific don’t feel pressure to write it if it doesn’t speak to you!!
hi lovely!! i absolutely love this ask and you are so kind to send it. any chance you’d be alright with me writing this ask without the drunk element? i only ask because i don’t personally drink and whenever I’ve written drunk characters before, i think i am just so bad at it 😭
but if you really want reader to be drunk, i’m happy to give it a go!! no objection from me other than i think my drunk characterisation leaves a lot to be desired hahaha
thanks again for being lovely <3
I’d love to see you write James and reader who’ve suffered the ‘never the right time’ trope, and finally, it’s the right time. It’s like so soft and just a moment of peace, like ‘finally, finally, it’s our time’. I have literally no ideas further than that, but I know you’d kill this Mae <3
hope you’re having a lovely day!
Thanks for requesting my love! Also, is that a new theme I see?? It's giving me renaissance vibes, like the clouds are going to part and there'll be an oracle and it'll be you ! I'm so here for it

James Potter x fem!reader ♡ 2.1k words
Sirius and Remus keep fighting over who gets to play the music. Sirius more pointedly, tracking Remus down every time he has to change the record, whereas Remus just sneaks over while his boyfriend is occupied to switch it out again. Now Fleetwood Mac’s come on, and James can only assume Lily has finally stationed herself by the record player.
A knock sounds at the door. Someone must have ordered pizza, he thinks. Anyone who goes to these things knows that Sirius always leaves the door unlocked. Being the closest to the door, James answers it.
He thinks he stops breathing when he finds you on the other side, clutching a dissolving paper bag in both hands and nearly wet through.
oh this is just beautiful :,) that ending!!!! i love pining as much as anyone, but i also absolutely adore when people just show exactly what they want and who they want and how much!!! you are perfection as always <3
This may be weirdly specific so feel free to ignore if so but
Jamie with a reader who’s never felt like she was someone’s first choice and is having a hard time grasping that she *is* his
thanks for requesting angel! 1.5k f!reader modern!au
he's my sweet boy i need him in a way i cannot describe
James' shrill ring tone fills the room, but neither of you make an effort to move for it where it's buzzing against the coffee table. You probably should be the one to do it, considering you're sprawled across the top of James, making it rather difficult for him to move. But, he doesn't ask you to, so you don't. Even when it rings a second time. You think James might actually be asleep, unaware to the incessant ringing. He's slept through worse, in all fairness.
But he groans petulantly when the ringing stops, turns to ping after ping, the texts flashing across his locked screen and illuminating the dark calm of his living room. His hand leaves it's place on your hip, reaching half heartedly for the device and when he fails, you sigh and reach for it yourself. It'd been a peaceful two hours of relaxing, just existing together in the same space, not really talking, not really doing anything except revelling in the feeling of each other's presence on James' couch after a busy week of barely seeing each other. Between your work, James' rugby practices, and trying to maintain social lives, it'd been hard to have quality time.
You're okay with that. More than okay with that. James has his life and you have yours. This thing you have, it's new and it's fragile, and you won't dent it or risk losing it by being clingy, by telling James that you miss him, that you want to spend more time with him, friends and coworkers, practices and life be damned. You refuse. So you slide the top half of your body off the couch, one hand holding yourself up on the floor, and the other outstretched for James' phone.

a/n: i just keep thinking of teeny tiny remus concepts and i have to write them every time. thought it would be fun to do another in the recent universe (1, 2 & 3) from sirius' perspective. this is quite unedited, but i'll have a check on it tomorrow. enjoy sunflowers <3

“Do you have a secret admirer you haven’t told us about?” Sirius asks, as innocently as he can.
The question has Remus sitting up a little straighter on the stool in your kitchen, just as he intended. Remus may never have spoken to him about his feelings for you, by some miracle, but they were plain as day to anyone with a brain cell between their ears. Sirius was fairly sure you were equally enamoured - but you were harder to read than his precious Moony.
“What are you on about now?” you laughed, able to shrug off the question easily. Sirius sidled up to the tiny vase of flowers that sat on the granite countertop, filled with imperfect bluebells that didn’t look shop-bought.
“Only the very pretty bouquet in your kitchen that someone has clearly picked for you,” he practically purrs, “And don’t try to convince me you picked them yourself, doll, because I know for a fact you haven’t been walking in the woods.”
hi lovie !
I ADORE your writing and get so excited everytime you post 😭
I wanted to ask if you’re okay with writing a poly!marauders x reader fic where r is an overthinker and over analyzes small things. It brings r to think the boys are mad at reader so r begins to close off— happy ending w/ healthy communication, just them reassuring r
🤍you can absolutely ignore this!!
thank you baby! I'm so glad to have you here with me 😭 thanks for your request 🫶
poly!marauders x fem!reader
CW: insecurities, overthinking, belief of conflict, eventual healthy communication skills, men behaving rationally (that's how you know it's fiction) jkjkjkjkjk 👀
You knew you were overthinking; you could actually hear yourself spiraling as you chewed aggressively on your cuticles. You ran through every single interaction you and the boys had throughout the past few days and couldn’t help but come to the same conclusion every time.
They were mad at you.
And even saying it aloud made you feel silly because, really, what could you have possibly done that would have managed to upset all three of them without knowing about it?
this is!!! precious!!!!!!! because there is humour!!!!! with the comfort!!!!! to make it more believable!!!!
i adore this <3
Can i request something bit angsty? 🥺 its totally fine if you dont wanna write it tho!
I was thinking, wolfstar x reader got into an argument and reader started to occlude and the boys got scared they might be out of line bcs she only occlude when shes really hurting?
this is my SHIT - love me some hurt/comfort. thanks for requesting, lovie 🫶
poly!wolfstar x fem!readerCW: hurt/comfort, arguing, mention of past family discourse, toxic family memories
“I’m sorry. You did what?” Sirius beseeched, walking into the living room from the kitchen and interrupting the points (arguments) you and Remus were each in the process of making. You gave him an unimpressed look, knowing he wasn’t actually asking you to repeat yourself, he just couldn’t believe what he had heard.
“She gave Mary-Ella over a grand.” Remus muttered bitterly.
“I did not give Mary-Ella money, I loaned her money.” You were quick to correct.
Sirius just scoffed. “Sure you did, dollface.” He sneered, making his usual pet-name burn to the touch. “You are never going to see that money again.”
“What were you thinking?” Remus implored.
I’m the anon who I asked for the Remus x teary and tired reader fic and ohhhhh, it’s exquisite!! Thank you for treating us to such lovely writing. And what a wonderful way to start the weekend! You’ve spoiled us, truly. <3
Ahhhh I love it SO much when anons who request things let me know their thoughts! It means an awful lot that you’d take the time to do that, lovely. Very happy to spoil you anytime, just say the word! Have the best weekend <3 <3
Your Remus x reader fics have melted my cold, cold heart and now I’m a mess. They’re so soft! And I’m so soft for gentleness! Please write more if you feel like it. Maybe something where reader is exhausted mentally and a wee bit teary, and Remus is his lovely, comforting self. Regardless, all the air kisses for you!!
thank you so so much lovely!! this is one of the most beautiful asks i’ve had in a while. i hope this is what you were looking for, so many air kisses back at you!! this is a continuation of this and this but doesn’t have to be! || remus lupin x fem!reader, 1.4k words, cw pet names and a teary, tired reader

Remus is not having a good day because it’s abundantly clear to him that you’re not having a good day.
He’s spending the day working at yours, because his wifi is fucked and for once it isn’t just an excuse to spend time with you. Although he supposes he could have turned to Sirius who lives far closer to him than you do, so it’s a bit of an excuse to see you after all.
His wifi is fucked though.
So he sits at your tiny dining room table that can only fit two chairs and spends the day trying not to look at you too much opposite him. He fails miserably, and it’s not usually miserable to look at you but each time he does, you look thoroughly despondent.
“Another cuppa, lovely?”
‘Remus is not having a good day because it’s abundantly clear to him that you’re not having a good day.’ - excuse me while I lose my mind because holy shit!! holy shit this is lovely and so so sweet and I need to find me a real life Remus oh wow
I am so so grateful for you 😭 Holy SHIT thank you I love you <3
