Wolfstar, Marauders Era au. Sirius Black has found himself falling in love with one of his best friends, Remus Lupin. Unable to express his feelings any other way, he begins to write in a notebook, filling it with things he'll never tell him.

"but, james...prongs, come on, you've seen him, yeah? he's so fucking cute, prongs...please, you've gotta come with me and say hi, please." "padfoot, you're an absolute idiot. remus lupin wants nothing to do with you." "not yet!" or the one in which remus is a shy, bookish little nerd, and sirius is the giant dork determined to make him fall in love with him. takes place at hogwarts, side jily! modern!marauders

this is the way most disasters start, with sirius. it's no surprise that sirius gets james into another ridiculous situation. but -- sirius does end up meeting the cutest guy ever at a bar, and james does end up meeting this adorable redhead, so, small perks.

The Marauders are starting their fifth year at Hogwarts; Remus is starting with a massive scar across his face - a byproduct of the increasing severity of his furry little problem, which is a definite cause for concern despite his insistence that it it's fine. Sirius is starting with the memories of a certain morning at 12 Grimmauld Place in August: memories that he might not ever forget, yet is desperate to cloak underneath the facade that every is fine at home and that he and his parents just sometimes encounter minor disagreements. James is starting his fifth year, yes, but more importantly, he is starting phase five of his plan to woo Lily Evans: somehow his friends seem doubtful that he might succeed, but James, being James, is in no lack of confidence. And Peter, well, Peter is starting to wonder just why he puts up with these people, and if he should really be feeling sorry for Lily Evans, and maybe if he should have asked to have been sorted into Hufflepuff.

They put the drama in drama club.

"This is a bad idea," Remus breaths. "That's what makes it so good," Sirius replies huskily.

sirius black, self proclaimed rebel with messy hair, went to university wanted to make masterpieces. to paint, to make art, to create beautiful things. his parents, however, went against this, sending phone calls and letters that were far from shy of getting the point across, leading sirius to stray away from his goals. remus lupin, renowned for drinking black coffee and sarcastic comments, went to university for the same exact reasons. his parents allowed him to follow his, letting him keep his hands covered in paint and possibly dabbling in the stick n poke tattoo talent on himself. and after remus finds out about a portrait that he has to paint for his portfolio, he has to find someone aside from his friend peter (who won't sit still for anything), and he happens to find a certain young man willing to sit still for his final grade (as long as his friend james can get his number across to remus' friend, lily.)
