Sirius hates his last name. He always joked around by going by his friend's names instead.
Sirius Potter was the most common, of course. He was practically raised by the Potter's, he and James had been brothers for years of course he was a Potter.
Second was Pettigrew, mostly when joking around with Peter.
He'd make comments like "This is why it's so great to be a part of the Pettigrew family!" and "Don't you dare disrespect the Pettigrew Brothers!"
A handful of times he even used Lily's last name, referring to himself as Sirius Evans.
She finds it hilarious, as soon as she catches on that he hates his last name she starts calling him Evans too.
Whenever she'd pass by the group and greet James as Potter, she'd always make sure to reply to Sirius' "Hey, Evans!" With a "Hello, Evans." In return.
Every once in a while he used their other friend's names too; Meadowes, Longbottom, McKinnon, he went as far as to use McGonagall once and nearly got detention for a week.
But he never used Lupin.
Remus asks him one lazy Saturday morning as the group was sprawled across the furniture in the common room.
He'd wondered for years, they all secretly had, but it never meant enough to any of them to really ask.
"Why do you never go by Sirius Lupin?" Remus asked, filling the lull in conversation.
It was supposed to be a casual question, but there was nothing casual about the look Sirius gave him when he replied,
"Because you haven't asked me to marry you yet, Moons."
The room was silent. Remus and Sirius were staring at each other for a long time. Remus slowly stood up and walked over to him, kneeling down in front of his chair,
"Sirius, will you marry me?" He whispered.
"Of course, Remus." Sirius breathed.
Nobody else could tell if they were joking or not. They'd never once shown feelings towards each other, nothing more than what they normally did.
Remus wasn't even gay.
But then, all of the sudden, Remus and Sirius were found walking the halls hand in hand, placing gentle kisses on each other's cheeks.
They started sleeping in the same bed at night, Remus curled on his side with his nose nuzzled against Sirius' neck.
Sirius exclusively went by Sirius Lupin now, refusing to go by anything else. He also made it very clear to all of his suitors that he was engaged and off the market.
The others still couldn't quite tell how much further they would go for the bit, but they seemed happy?? So they were all happy too.
Immediately after graduation they got married and made it official. Everyone was kinda blown away, but then again, it was Remus and Sirius, they've kind of always been dating, even when they weren't.
The others finally asked years later if they'd been secretly dating prior to that, since it was the only thing that made sense.
Sirius shook his head, "No, I had no idea Rem liked me back. I was just really in love with him."
Remus nodded, explaining he wasn't actually sure if Sirius was joking or not either at first, but he was too in love to question it, and took the chance he got.
It ended up working out, Sirius was now- in all ways including legally- Mr. Sirius Lupin.
And he'd never been happier.

the ‘big three’ of coping mechanisms are jerking off, fucking up your hair, and playing your favorite music real loud
aids has traumatized the queer community.
when i was 10 years old i didnt know i was queer yet. i never saw any queer people on tv. id never met any queer people, other than my uncle. i was aware that there had been a plague that killed a lot of gay people.
i honestly thought my uncle was the only survivor. i thought there were none of us left.
i didnt know queer people could live. all i knew was my uncle was gay, all his friends died of some disease that killed all the gays, and his mother wanted him to catch it too.
i didnt know there was a chance for us. when i realized i was queer it was terrifying. i thought i would end up like my uncle or his friends who died.
i had no idea that queer people could survive to old age.
i thought it was a death sentence.
even though im older now, im still traumatized. im still learning that i have a shot at life. im not going to die. but im still scared. i havent seen my uncle in years. i dont know any queer people old enough to have actually lived during the 80s.
its scary growing up knowing that people like you dont get old.
you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.
I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.
we are not the same.
we love a devoted husband 🙏🏻♥️

James and Regulus hyphenated their surnames.
They wanted to break the cycle. They wanted to prove that having the name Black did not inherently make you evil. Regulus never truly believed he had escaped the burden his name brought until James added their names together. If James can be a Black, then the name can’t be so bad anymore.
And all their little children got Black-Potter as well.
oh and, by the way, if you hear anyone saying any of that “your body my choice” bullshit? press sexual harassment charges.
“but it’s not a big deal” WRONG
“but he was only joking” WRONG. RAPE THREATS ARE NEVER JOKES
WE WILL NOT LET THAT SHIT SLIDE. EVER.
and if you don’t think the cops will help and you’re safe to deal with it on your own?
do it yourself. cuss him out. hurt him. do NOT let it slide.
FASCISTS AND RAPISTS DO NOT GET TO FEEL SAFE.
gimme james potter who dated regulus for years before his seventh year, where he completely abandoned reg the second lily (who had no idea) showed the littlest sign of attraction
gimme regulus who cried and cried, gimme rosekiller who wrapped reg in blankets and told their teachers it was a "hip flare-up, you know how it is, professor, his hip never really healed properly" and just generally bullshitted until reg could move again
gimme regulus who grew to depend on rosekiller even more, not in a romantic or sexual way just. complete qpr
gimme evan and regulus who got the mark that winter, gimme barty who got it to make them feel better about it (and also because riddle was hot)
gimme regulus who realized he was doing the wrong thing and tried for redemption.
gimme rosekiller who thought he had died a death eater.
gimme barty who tortured the longbottoms to find out who killed reg.
yk. just them
