evans! reader, sirius black x reader (when he ends up escaping to the Potters’)
Lying lazily on the couch in the Potters’ mansion, you tear a strip of paper and chew it in your mouth before shooting a spitball at James, giggling as he grumbled and swatted it away.
He was busy making small talk with your sister, as she tried to look annoyed but was hopelessly failing, what with the pink coating her cheeks. Lily was just as much in love with James as he was in with her, that much was obvious for everyone to see. Meanwhile, Remus was propped up on his elbows in front of the fireplace, his eyes locked on the storybook in front of him while Peter sat on the other end of the couch, face scrunched up in concentration as he tried to master a spell he learnt recently.
Everything felt right, spending the holidays with your twin and best friends. But the gnawing hole in your heart made you realise that something was missing, or rather someone - Sirius. You knew he’d never be able to spend the holidays at James’ place because of his horribly abusive family, but a small part of you missed his constant teasing and flirting. You found yourself aching to see that easy smirk which hung from his lips, and the stormy grey eyes which plagued your mind a little too frequently these days.
Sighing, you quit annoying James and flopped onto your back, gazing at the ceiling. “Moony?” you mumble. Everyone turns to look at you except him, as he hums in response, too engrossed in his book. “Do you think Pads is okay?” you ask quietly, the dark thoughts starting to get the better of you. Why hadn’t he written all summer? Remus frowns, tearing his eyes away from the page to glance at you, “Why wouldn’t he be-“
At that moment, the fire crackled loudly and turned a fiery blue as everyone swiveled their heads to look. A boy covered in dried blood and soot stepped out, a suitcase in one hand a broken wand in the other. His eyes looked stripped of their light, hazy as they darted around the room. It didn’t take long for Y/n and the rest to register their dark-haired friend swaying unsteadily in front of them, his eyes barely open.
You felt your heart jump to your mouth as he swayed forward. “SIRIUS!” you gasped, lurching forward to catch his arms just as he was about to crumble to the ground. Remus jumped up to help you lower him to the floor, taking a shaky breath as he grabbed your trembling hand and squeezed it reassuringly. James was anything but calm, his eyes wide in horror as he shakily yelled for his mother upstairs. Peter and Lily sat there with matching dumbfounded expressions, your sister letting out a shocked squeak.
You feel the tears start to well up in your eyes, terrifying thoughts running through your mind. You couldn’t lose him. Not now. Not ever. You couldn’t live without Sirius.
As though she could read your mind, Lily stood up and came towards you, gently grabbing your hand and pulling you away from Sirius towards the kitchen. You saw Euphemia flash you a small, reassuring smile as she helped Sirius into a spare room to treat him.
Your sister gently turned your head towards her, and you felt the lump forming in your throat. “He’s gonna be okay,” Lily murmured, squeezing your hands as you let out a small sob, clamping a hand over your mouth. She immediately pulled your trembling body into hers in a warm embrace as you muttered incoherently. “I… I can’t lose him… I love him too much.”
She just hums in response and rubs your back until your cries slow. “James’ mom is a great healer, you know? One of the best,” she says quietly. You sniffle, pulling away and wiping the tears off your face. “I know. I don’t know why I’m overreacting this much.”
She smiles softly, “Because you love him, duh.” You look away, your cheeks starting to turn red. “No I don’t,” you mutter, just as James comes into the kitchen, relief written all over his face. “Hey, Y/n, he’s better now. You can go see him if you want to.”
Lily nods at you as you take a deep breath, following James as he brings you to the room. You enter to see Sirius propped up against the headboard, his black curls all over the place and bandages wrapped on at least four different parts of his body. His eyes look up to meet yours, and you felt your whole world shift as you rush forward to wrap him in a bone-crushing hug.
“Wanker,” you whisper, squeezing Sirius tightly as he chuckled softly, wrapping his arms around you. “Hey gorgeous,” he sighs. “Missed me?”
You smack his back lightly and he lets out an exaggerated yelp of pain, making you giggle. You cling to him tightly, soaking in the warmth of his embrace which you longed to feel for so long. “I missed you.” he murmurs, his playful exterior finally melting away as he breathes in the scent of you.
You just snuggle more into him in response, unable to say anything. “I thought I lost you,” you finally say, pulling away slightly to hold him at arms length. You trail your eyes over his features, the light stubble that had settled on his chin and those metallic eyes you knew so well. He grins that same grin you want to wake up to for the rest of your life. “You’re not getting rid of me that easily, sweetheart.”
As you both sit there in silence, taking in each other’s features after being starved of the other’s presence for weeks, you find yourself slowly inching towards him. You were lost in the storm that was his eyes, and he was gazing at the art that was your face.
Sirius reached out his hand to cup your cheek and you could hear your heartbeat quicken, thundering in your ears as he grazed his thumb over your lips. You let your eyelids flutter close and let out a content sigh, him taking that as his final confirmation as he leaned forward and gently pressed his lips on yours.
Fireworks explode in your heart as you melt into the kiss. One hand automatically goes up to cup his cheek, the other threading through his hair. His lips were chapped, his skin rough, and his hair knotted. Sirius was a mess right now, but he was your mess. Yours. This was all you ever wanted, and all you ever needed.
You finally break the kiss, feeling butterflies churning in the pit of your stomach as you pull away to smile at him. Sirius grins, resting his forehead against yours as he rubs his thumb over your cheek. “If I knew almost dying would make you fall in love with me, I’d do it a hundred times over.”
when u guys are talking bad about Regulus Black, this is who are u talking about
My fic where black brothers beat the shit out of each other.
Based on a post I made on a different tumblr where Sirius leaves because of Regulus.
Nah, because Petunia has 0 redeeming qualities. She's a child abuser. Even Lucius Malfoy is above her while Regulus is a redeemed child marytr. Sibling dynamics are actually worth exploring when one of them didn't starve others child. Petunia will always be a 2d villain, bragging about being normal, potentially not just about not having magic as a cis white, upper middle class woman.
However Narcissa/Bellatrix and Narcissa/Andromeda is worth exploring and that is misogyny I think.
i do find it inch resting how people frequently wax poetic about the black brothers' sibling dynamic but the evans sisters' sibling dynamic is given less attention. esp considering petunia and lily are both very present in the narrative, and part of one of the biggest themes of the series, but regulus is more a plot device for the horocruxes and to flesh out sirius' personality
Barely there Orion Black and Sirius' blood supremacist version Walburga Black.
Neglected child Regulus Black, problematic golden child Sirius Black.
You can't make me believe Walburga didn't thrive in Sirius' psychopatic tendencies. Oh, he tried to kill the half blood kid? Nice. Fandom likes to downplay it but it's in his every move and certainly things we saw wasn't the only ones. He was written as a anti-hero. In the right side but with 0 morality. And I LOVE him for it. I wish this was explored more. Him actually killing people he didn't need to, doing very disturbing things etc etc.
Fanon Regulus Black is actually Sirius Black and Regulus Black is just a brainwashed stupid boy who tried become a hero overnight. And becoming a hero 20 years later, an army of elves fighting in his honor, not because of his smarts and finding about the horcrux but because of the kindness he showed to Kreacher. And I love him for it. The most realistic depiction of a child in a cult he didn't belong to.
And Fanon Sirius Black is... something. I like him but he's just not cutting it for me. Not just the new wave, he's been stripped from his dark side the moment people started to write about him. I found just ONE fic, diving deep into it and giving him a some kind of redemption and it was a Severus Snape centric fic. It's telling a lot.
Let's normalize truly toxic black brothers I adore them
Sirius hating Regulus because he's mentally weak and believing their parents.
Regulus hating Sirius because he's copy paste of their abusive mother.
They are both hypocrites and they hate each other for it.
Orion is neglective and hating his life and burying his head to his work.
Arcturus is authoritive and breathing on Walburga's neck.
Melania staying with Lucretia and Ingatius because she hates Arcturus and Orion and their blood-mania. Arcturus wasn't like that before the global wizarding war. He was in the progressive side of the family.
On the other side in a different house Walburga came from, Irma takes the head of the house duty because Pollux is incompetent in every way. But he puts his nose in everything. Dorea gets looked down upon for marrying a Potter, they let her marry him because she's "damaged" mentally. Marius gets taken care of by Dorea without them knowing.
Cygnus and Druella are child groom and bride like Pollux and Irma and don't know what they are doing. They cope with their childhood gets stolen with alcohol and drugs. Rosier Sr. hates Blacks because of it.
Bellatrix being forced to grow early and take care of her sisters because of it like Walburga did. With no support system.
Let's write realistic abusive households and generational trauma.
I think it's because of Walburga's portait was prominent in the books, we know a lot about her and Sirius talked about Orion only when he talked about both of them.
Honestly neglective and enabler parents pisses me of more than active abuser ones. I'm fine with this dynamic if it gets explored more throughly.
It's general misogyny on top of JKR's own misogyny. I don't like the term of fandom misogyny much. Fandoms aren't communities that can be judged socially, we don't interact with each other, we interact with content, it's like blaming the fandom for people's own misogyny.
okay right. why do we as a fandom hate on walburga so much and ignore orion? like he was a parent too???? I think it’s basic misogyny honestly 😔
personally though, I do headcannon walburga as a lesbian and I feel like she was a bit like bellatrix when she was younger.
She's a little crunchy, but here's the full portrait with Sirius :)
Dumbledore and Voldemort: This magic is so unknown... so arcane... no one except a select few in wizarding society will have ever heard of it. This intense obscurity makes it nigh impossible to defeat...
The Black Family:
Would anyone be interested in a canon compliant fanfic about the Black sisters? Andy and Bella are twins, cause why not, Narcissa is one year younger. It would have graphic depiction of violence (crucio, fights etc) and Bella slowly going insane. It would include Quillkiller, Tedromeda and Nobleflower (no smut or anything!!!) I'm thinking about writing it, but I probably wouldn't be able to update regularly and English isn't my first language. I can post some of it on Tumblr, but I'm planning the whole work on Ao3. It would be my first published fic. I'm warning you - A LOT of angst!!!
Bellatrix "I'm not homophobic but Alice needs get the fuck away from Cissy or I will crucio them" Black
Sirius "I'm not homophobic but James needs to stop looking at my brother like that" Black
Night talk at the astronomy tower circa 1973
Hi, want some sad black sisters/Andromeda Black headcanons?
When Ted died in Deathly Hallows, I'm pretty sure people were informed about it on Potterwatch (the secret radio).
Which could mean that Andromeda and Tonks (I'm NOT gonna call them by their first name, it feels like deadnaming to me) also found out that way.
My hc is that they were listening to the radio every day hoping that Ted is still alive. And one day... They heard he was not.
Can you imagine the absolute horror and grief they felt in that moment? Cause I can't.

“reg” he hears himself say into the dark. […] “you make me happy.” / there’s no response and james is fairly certain regulus has fallen asleep until a groggy voice spills into the night. “you are my happy.”
why does it feel like i’m about to get my heart ripped out? i was already crying bc james promised remus he would never be alone, but this fic is #canoncompliant so i KNOW he’s going to end up alone. also, reg took the mark and james still doesn’t know. i love the character chapters, like everyone being there for remus at his mom’s funeral. the way they all care. james asking for consent to touch regulus. those two cuddling. bro it’s gonna HURT when he sees the mark, i can’t DO THIS
I found my new hobby in trying to guess the Harry Potter era and Marauders era characters' handwriting.
And I'm dedicated to my new hobby.
I am a firm believer that walpurga black loved her kids and really just wanted the best for them. I don't think she was the perfect parent, I think that her parents were also abusive like the rest of those rich families. I think that she wanted so bad to be better than them, but kept falling back into the cycle. I think that she saw herself when she was younger in Sirius and got so frustrated with him, but also understood him. And I think that she saw how sensitive and sweet Regulus was, how he would do everything he was told and tried to protect him. But in the end, Orion didn't care, made her take the responsibility for them and made her punish them how he saw fit. I think that there was less physical abuse than most people find the need to show, it was more mental and emotional. But all in all, walpurga was just a girl who was treated the same when she was younger and wanted to be different, but couldn't. The mothers of this fandom get the brunt of the hate, like Orion definitely was more abusive than she ever was.
Did somebody say the Black Brothers parallel Cain and Abel?
OH MY GOD!!! ×i just watched a video by some guy about Bellatrix and he's totally right about her. The main reason she was SO loyal and SO obsessed with Voldemort was because he was probably the only one who was giving her attention, in any way. Andromeda got negative attention for running away with Ted, and Narcissa got positive attention for marrying pure blood. But Bella got neither, so when Voldemort started to make her feel special and different, she immediately flocked to him. It's just like a cult leader would do, they find vulnerable people who are insecure, or ignored, or traumatized(not saying she is all of these, I think her vulnerability is just from her state of mind, her unstablness), and make them feel valuable an indispensable. This causes them to never be able to leave, Bella knows that if she left him, she would be ignored once again. Even when he's not good to her, at least it's some form of attention. Everyone was so proper in her family too, she was probably outcasted a bit, she saw this man who matched her perfectly and felt connected to someone for once. Don't get me wrong, she very much believed in him and his beliefs, she wasn't a pure victim of manipulation, it's the very fact that she felt seen by him and his beliefs that she was loyal to him. She picks him because he's the only one who understands her truly
