When you're two boys, who happen to be wizards, who also happen to be part animal, who ALSO happen to be in love...things could only go so very well. A prequel story to "A Strange Mixture", we follow the lives of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin's "long" lives. From Hogwarts to their dying days. From their first kiss to their last embrace. From being the two of them against it all...to a family of three. When war rages, is raising a child the best thing to do? Maybe, maybe not. Trial, Error, Trauma, and Abuse. That's what plagues the minds of the Marauders and Co. Thrusted into a war at the ripe ages of 17, trying to navigate through a world they thought they knew. Screaming, Crying, Perfect Storms. Is this how you act when fighting in a worldwide Wizarding War? Is this how to raise a baby? To love someone? Well...what would you do if your world came crashing down from around you?
"Your name means Werewolf McWerewolf, did you know that?"
That was the first thing that Sirius Black said to Remus Lupin. Sirius remembered that now. What an idiot! Sirius has always been an idiot. Remus John Lupin had put his world upside down from the very beginning. Sirius had never met anyone like him. Remus pushed Sirius to the limit. Remus made Sirius really angry but really happy in a second. Remus with his big sweaters and weird obsession with David Bowie and chocolate smell. His stupid little curls, his tiny freckles resembling a night sky on his freaking body. The scars. The way Remus could say the most harmful thing looking so adorable with his reading glasses and a book on his hand.
How lucky Sirius had been and how stupid he had been to not realize it sooner. Sirius had been a complete asshole and this was his punishment. Gracious God. His mother was right, Sirius was born deficient, and this was the proof.
Oh Lord. Oh, Frederic Mercury and all the Queens. Oh, Star Dog in the sky.
Sirius Orion Black was in love with Werewolf McWerewolf, completely and over heels in love. And now it was too late.
Wolfstar Muggle AU. Based on the movie Life as We Know It.
James and Lily die and leave their baby Harry in charge of Sirius and Remus. Fluff and light comedy. Lots of flashbacks with Jily so don't worry, very little Angst.
