The 411 on Remus Lupin

[themostepotente]

I'll be the first to admit -- I don't write Remus Lupin well.

I know that I 'prefer' him submissive. I have a harder time wrapping my brain around alpha Remus, especially paired with Snape or Sirius.

I think people associate his lycanthropy with 'aggressive' tendency and sometimes forget that not all wolves are alphas of their packs.

So for those of you that write Remus Lupin on a consistent basis, do you prefer him aggressive or docile? Or perhaps a little of both?

When it comes to Remus/Bill, I'm easily bribable; I've been looking for reasons to write more of those two together. *G* Any particular scenarios you'd like to see?

How they got together. Definately that. *grins* Perhaps set in Egypt because Dumbledore wanted Remus to run an errand for him? *grins wider* Is there any particular picture you'd like? I'm open to almost anything. ^^; Though if you make it a long fic, I'll make it two pictures!

Exactly. Remus doesn't strike me as the crying type. He is much too controlled and used to dealing with a harsh reality for that.

Wait wait wait. You were the one who wrote Virtuoso? Oh my.

I'm totally with scribbulus_ink on this one. Someone above said "passive-agressive", and I think that's a pretty good way to characterize Lupin. He is a control freak, to a certain extent. Because of his condition, not having control scares him, I think. But this control he wields isn't very obvious, most people don't even realize he's wielding it.

In bed, I don't see him as exclusively dominant or submissive, but I think he would be very careful as to who he gave control to.

And, Sirius is *so* whipped. ;)
