    Summary

    “So… shawarma?” Yelena asks after everything’s cooled down and the cameras are all gone.

    “Really?” Walker sneers, “Are you serious right now, cause— cause that’s not funny—“

    “I mean, it’s a little funny.” Yelena chuckles, which obviously means Alexei has to follow with loud boisterous laughter, even if he clearly doesn’t know what’s going on.

    Summary

    “All in all, the build up to Hogwarts just made Remus feel more and more depressed as each day passed until September 1st. Why couldn’t he just be normal? he thought, lying on his bed one night. He just wanted a normal school experience without having to deal with his stupid body and his stupid lycanthropy. Having to hide so much, and having to transform every single month for the rest of his life. Every. Single. Bloody. Month. As well as going through the wrong damn puberty. It was all wrong. Everything was wrong.

    Remus bit into his pillow. The whole situation, every overwhelming emotion pressing against his chest, just made him want to scream.”

    ~~~

    Remus Lupin has more than one secret, and there’s no way of knowing who he can trust. All he has are his parents, but they can’t protect him when he goes off to Hogwarts.

    But then Remus meets a boy and his two other friends, and soon realises that some secrets can’t be kept forever.

    Canon compliant if you want it to be. Personally, this is more self-indulgent than anything.

    Disclaimer: I am writing this as nothing more than a big, long, over-complicated fuck you to jk rowling.

    Summary

    “Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.

    “Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.

    “The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.

    “S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.

    “Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

    Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

    Summary

    They say when you assume you make an ass of you and me.

    Matt wishes that the Avenger's assumptions about his seeming inability to read the written word did something as benign as making an ass of him and them. Being called illiterate shouldn't hurt, not when he knows he's not, and it's not like he can tell them the truth.

    Not that the truth would make much difference. He's just going to have to grin and bear it.

    If he can.
