ooc: Remus/Sirius reasonings and my take on the 'ship.
After being questioned about my 'ship after a friend of mine had asked me just why already, I decided to write this out. It's basically my reasonings behind being a supporter of Remus/Sirius. I'm also a supporter of Remus/Tonks, of course, but since that's canon I never get any WTF? expressions or questions

I adore the Marauders because of that bond and how much more they meant to each other than any four boys that shared a dorm. James was an only child. Peter had some clingage issues and the boys made him part of the group. Sirius was the outcast of the Black family. And Remus, well, Mr Werewolf himself wouldn't have had it easy either. But they find each other and make their little family among the four of them, which is why Remus and Sirius are so willing to kill Peter; he betrayed family and that bond they shared.
*snicker* And yeah, my take on the pair is that teen hormones lead to probably experimenting. But it got deeper than that before they realized it. And Remus having to possibly face more judgment for being gay/bi when he had enough issues with being a werewolf? That's why I doubt they would have outed themselves at all. Remus, at least. Heh, and I try to date things in canon as much as I can and find out about the time period whenever I write about Remus' backstory. Because it's just built that way, I think, and it's impossible to ignore what was going on, y'know?
And about it rekindling after that? My guess is that it wouldn't have been easy, it wouldn't have been just kiss-up-and-be-fine-the-next-day, but it makes sense to me.
No, I highly doubt it would've been that easy. It was a big, big betrayal they each made towards each other, even if they would've been JUST friends. But I think the fact that Remus actually moved in with Sirius rather than staying wherever it was that they had been staying before (because Sirius had been sent to 'lay low at Lupin's') is a sign that obviously they must have reached a spot where they were comfortable enough again. And, you know, that possible conflict actually intrigues me a lot and how they must have worked things out.

*nods* Peter's betrayal was... frightening. I think that THAT dynamic was very well shown and implied in the books.
Haha that's why I said teen hormones are AN argument for me. You put it very well - they ... led to some experimenting. What with all the Marauders extremely clever (even if one is misguided and a traitor and a coward! ahem.) I do believe they'd also be questioning sexual 'norms' the way they are questioning 'social' ones (e.g., Sirius rejecting his family, Remus being shown that the rejection of werewolves is not as universal, etc., etc.)

Eh. Both Remus and Sirius are characters who've been hurt very, very deeply. If nothing else, some sense of fairness in me pokes and says that if they could have found a bit of peace, a bit of a step closer to 'happy' in each other? OH yes, that's a right thing!
