I'm writing a fanfic (Remus Lupin and The Art of Gaslighting) and I have a theory that you can "manipulate" a boggart. Mainly because I don't see the moon being Remus deepest darkest fear, since he, at this point, has been a werewolf for what? 29 year? (Smt like that)

I personally believe it would be something closer to home (Like his friends dying/getting hurt, or him having hurt one of them)

So I wanted to include a scene where Remus is preparing for class and accidently gets caught of gaurd by the boggart and sees his "real boggart" and then decides he's gonna need to manipulate it later on (In class, so the students sees the moon instead or as Harry calls it 'A floating silver ball')

What do you think his true deepest darkest fear would be? I would love if it was Wolfstar coded since my fanfiction is wolfstar but like- totally fine if it isn't. It just needs to be something he doesn't want his students to see.

So I've recently seen quit a lot of people being mad/blaming Sirius for leaving Regulus, when Sirius left home and calling him a bad person.

As an older sibling and someone who litreally is exactly like Sirius down to small habits this pains me immensly. Because wdym he was a bad sibling for doing what he needed to do to survive?

Regulus could've left to but he didn't see the possibility so he didn't leave. I get that it was easier for Sirius to "just" leave, but if you're someone who thinks he just left without regretting leaving Reg there for the rest of his life, or someone who thinks he was a bad older sibling, I guess my question is why?

So I have two ideas for fanfictions (Mostly just titles) but I'm unsure if anyone would want to read it or not.

1st idea - 'Remus Lupin And The Art Of Gaslighting' So it's like adult remus, so from when he's offered the teaching position from Dumbledore till he dies. It's canon compliant, BUT with Wolfstar (And possible hints to Drarry and Jegulus if you look close) The title comes from the fact that I find it extremly funny how Remus, when Snape finds Harry out of bed in the Prisoner of Azkaban with the map (Keep in mind Snape MUST know who made the goddamn map and who Prongs, Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail is). Remus just looks Snape dead in the eye and is like "I have no idea what this is, but I will take it to look at it Snivellus", it's so funny to me how he litreally spends most his life gasligthing people also because of the werewolf thing.
Like imagine Lily before she knew "Remus you're sick often" "Poor immune system" "How come you're always gone during full moons?" "what do you mean, Lils, I'm not?" or something.

2nd idea - 'All The Things Her Portrait Never Said' So the concept of this fic is so intruiging to me. So it's like form Walburga's perspective and it's like tiny glimpses into her raising Sirius and Regulus and then it transitions into her portrait, because I love the thought of Wizard portraits capturing a person how they were in the exact moment they were painted. So if Walburga had thought about how terrible life is, her portrait would think life was terrible. I don't know if that makes sense.

Anyways, let me know if you would like to read any of these and if, which one?

EDIT: So I did start writing the first idea...
