Ok- if someone doesn't write context appropriate wolfstar fic soon, I WILL.
The marauders left school in '78. Being gay then was a very big deal. Everyone writes flamboyant Sirius and witty Remus really well as a couple but do you understand how scared they'd be? Sirius already disappointed one family, he'd likely be terrified of the potters hating him for being this way.
Remus is already hiding his lycanthropy and doesn't want to be any more of an outsider or feel any more wrong.
Can we please have some fear and secrecy in the wolfstar fics because it needs to be appreciated how terrifying and brave it was to be openly gay back then.
Ok I'm done, I just have a lot of feels about this.
