Seeing Each Other Around Town

Summary: James discovers his favorite student and his mom are his across-the-street neighbors and now he can't stop seeing her everywhere.

Notes: Marauders modern elementary school AU, kindergarten teacher!James Potter x nurse!reader, mom!reader x son!OC (Liam), inspired by this post by @ravishinglavishingluvr. Tiny little bit of angst in this one but it's negligible. Y'all this is gonna be a slow burn but we'll get there. Also I'm updating sorta regularly now yay!!!

Poor James is completely infatuated with you after parent-teacher conferences

He just can’t get you out of his head

And Sirius and Remus are usually the ones who suffer the consequences

Their apartment is on the way to school from James’ house, so they almost always carpool

And lately, the entire car ride, James Cant. Shut. Up. about you

(“Boys, you should’ve seen her—she’s so sweet—of course she’s Liam’s mom—Pads, you don’t understand—they’re so similar—Remus, she’s gorgeous—did you see her????”)

By the end of the week, Sirius and Remus are very amused with James’ adoration for you

But it also gets kinda irritating after a while, so they’re pretty thankful when the weekend rolls around and they (hopefully) get a small break from his incessant enamored babbling

Saturday rolls around, and James is up at six thirty (hard to break out of the habit when he has to be at school at eight) and shuffling out in his pajamas, robe, and slippers to get the mail and the newspaper

But just because James’ body wakes up early doesn’t mean James’ brain wakes up at the same time so he’s out by his mailbox looking confusedly at the newspaper and wondering why he suddenly can’t read

And after like a solid thirty seconds of him just squinting really hard he finally realizes it’s because he left his glasses inside

He’s doing his best

So James is about to turn around and go back inside to get his glasses (and probably a cup of coffee) when he hears his own name— —just … well, kinda

“Mr. Potter?”

James just about jumps out of his skin because what teacher expects to see one of their students outside of school???? Like no thank you

But then James realizes it’s Liam and he’s lowkey relieved because like

If he has to see a student outside of school, he’d rather it be this one

And then it occurs to James that if Liam is outside his house at six thirty in the morning, then he probably lives around here

And if Liam lives around here, then …

“Liam?”

Poor James can’t help the full-body flush that rushes through him at your voice

His head snaps from Liam (or at least the blurry shape that sounds like Liam) to where your voice comes from, and it hits him that you’re shouting from the front door of the house across from his own

How the hell didn’t he notice you lived right across the street from him????????

(Not that he’s complaining ofc)

James realizes he hasn’t actually responded when Liam asks if he’s alright, and he’s just like “Yeah!!” and utterly beaming

And then you realize your son isn’t just talking to some rando, and you say good morning to him as well (from your front door) and James is pretty sure he’s about to melt

So you and him exchange pleasantries from across the street while Liam gets the mail from your own mailbox and walks it back to you

(he says “here you go, mama” in his sweet little voice as he hands the small stack to you and you say the gentlest “thank you, baby” back and James’ heart feels like goop in his chest)

James barely makes it back inside before he’s squealing and doing a goofy little dance out of overflowing joy

Over the next several weeks, James begins to notice you everywhere around town

He sees you and Liam at the grocery store (you’re there with Liam and give him the choice between dino nuggets and spring rolls; he decisively choses the later)

And on his way to work (on one of the few days where Remus and Sirius aren’t carpooling with him, James sees you in your own car on your way to work)

And when you and Liam go on walks on the weekends (James had taken to mowing the lawn shirtless every Saturday morning—for entirely unrelated reasons, of course …)

James still isn’t sure how he hadn’t noticed you before because how could he have missed you?? You’re gorgeous????

(Of course, poor Remus and Sirius get to hear about his fawning even more now)

(They both find it cute though, so it’s fine)

So eventually one Friday night, James can’t sleep and is done with his lesson plans

And he’s just bored, so what does he do?

Go to the grocery store, of course

So James ventures out, once again in his pajamas, to the grocery store to get some treats to eat while he watches Antiques Roadshow until he falls asleep

And of course—he should’ve predicted it honestly—there you are

(Also in your pajamas)

And James says hi before he can really stop himself, and you look a little spooked for a second (because who in the world would be talking to you in the grocery store at ten at night?) but then you realize it’s him and you say hi back

Apparently, Liam is at Alfie’s birthday sleepover and you don’t have a shift at the hospital tonight, so you decided to indulge in some celebratory ice cream

James ends up helping you choose which ice cream you want (chocolate chip cookie dough—a classic) and as thanks, you go with him to the candy aisle to help him pick out treats

James ends up getting a container of pretty much every candy, cookie, and chip the grocery store because he didn’t want to leave yet lmao

And when you’re in line to check out, James mentions that there’s a job fair at school in a month and he’s wondering if you’d maybe want to come and talk about being a nurse????

Pretty please??????

James doesn’t notice how your face falls ever so slightly. You kind of forgot for a second that he’s your son’s teacher and not just some pretty guy that you’ve sorta had a crush on for the past few weeks. Nothing could happen between the two of you—not if it mean hurting Liam’s education, or even impacting it at all. But it’s okay. You’ll just suck it up and stick to your job and your son. It’s fine. It’s okay.

You’re agreeing in an instant, and James promises to email you the details so you can plan around it

James leaves the grocery store with his bag of fifty dollars worth of treats feeling full to the bursting with warmth and his eyes are glowing the rest of the night

He sees this really pretty pearl and gold necklace on Antiques Roadshow and catches himself thinking about how pretty it would look on you, but he doesn’t bother trying to stop himself at this point; it wouldn’t be any help anyway

A Complete Guide To Chaotic Academia

bc its my fav aesthetic and there is not enough content about it

Outfits

most people say that chaotic academia is just dark academia but a little bit more messy, and, well, chaotic. the truth is, chaotic academia is A LOT more messy than dark academia. you can still use dark academia as kind of a "base", but you are going to replace your blazers with flannels, your turtlenecks with tshirts. as for pants, you can go with litteraly anything: cigarette pants, tailored trousers, ripped-up jeans or normal black leggings. i personally really ike ripped up overalls bc they give that "i dont really give a damn, im so misunderstood, my parents didnt love me, im a crazy lonely introverted teenage child" vibe...idk. whatever you wear, make sure you feel comfortable in it! even tho in chaotic academia there are almost no rules at all, here are some things that might help you!

colours: any earthy tones are fine, brown, caramel, dark green, dark red, white, etc etc

fictional characters that might inspire you:

-remus lupin

- any dpc character

- jess mariano

- sydney novak

accesories: flannels (a personal fav + they make even the most boring fit look better), cardigans, converse (bonus points if you draw/write on them or if you have them laced in a weird way), bracelets or necklaces that mean something to you, harry potter back packs, tote bags...

hairstyles: whatever you want, just make sure your hair is ALWAYS messy, looking like you just fucking woke up

Activities and Traits

ok now we're getting to the actually important part bc (repeat after me): chaotic academia is not about how you look, its about how you live and how you act. so here r some thing that might help:

- annotating books with the most unhinged random thoughts

- learning poetry or speeches word for word but not remembering most of the things for school

- studying in the (school) library and being besties with the librarian (optional)

- leaving notes (on trees, mailboxes or library books) for strangers to find

- "studying while listening to classical music" and then instead of studying you end up agressivly mouthing your favorite song

- im sure yall already heard this one, but yes, swearing and slag while discussing deep academic topics is incredibly important

- speaking of important topics: posting something important on social media knowing no one will read it

- doodles on your hands 24/7 (NO SUSAN, I DONT GIVE A DAMN THAT ITS BAD FOR MY SKIN)

- sarcasm. a lot.

- random thoughts

- random quotes

- knowing a ton of conspiracy theories that you dont even beileve in by heart

- listening to all different types of podcasts

- one day reading the classics, the next ya fantasy and day after that ao3 smut

- multifandom, multishipper

- tea/coffee addiction

- adding b.c. to todays date when writing it in school

- random thoughts and the weirdest annotations in your school notebooks, especially the classes that you find boring

- "going to the bathroom" and then spending half of your math class drawing/reading/smoking/crying/thinking/whatever the fuck you wanna do there bc ur tired of everything

- stealing random stuff from stores (tho it is not encouraged blah blah blah)

- watching gilmore girls every fall

- telling people ur favorite colour is green even tho it isnt just to let them know that ur gay

- reading in class, on breaks, at home, parks, meetings, aethletic events, and generally all the fucking time

- doing (mostly) everything last minute

- bad at photography, but you enjoy it

- cold tea my beloved

- wearing one item every day: it can either be a necklace, a flannel, a bracelet, a badge, headphones, earrings etc etc

- extremely messy handwriting, always writing with black pen

- crying at least once a day, but only when ur alone, being super emotional but never showing it

- hobbies include reading, screaming in your pillow, learning unique languages that you will probably never use, rewatching dead poets society, harry potter, enola holmes, end of the fucking world and gilmore girls

- massive bookworm, reads all the time, always has a book with them

- skipping class, not that often tho

- 💫anger issues💫

- hyperactive and lazy at the same time

- uses big words but makes fun of other people when they do it

- writes (rebellious) book quotes everywhere, every single one of their notebooks had IF WE BURN, YOU BURN WITH US written in them lol

- random useless powerpoints

- analysing taylor swift's folklore and evermore instead of sheakspeare because its just better

- retired almost-emo, had a phase when they wore black and acted all mysterious but were never really emo i cant explain it

- likes mcr. this one speaks for itself.

- gay and sad. no explanation needed.

★ Kate's trans wolfstar faves ★

this list is mainly trans sirius and muggle aus! there will definitely be a part 2 to this list with more trans remus + mwpp fics because i hold them DEAR TO MY HEART 🩷🤍💙 

you wouldn't like me - E, 40k

It’s 2005 and Sirius is trying to figure out his gender, their brother, and his new crush.

No More Secrets - G, 5k

Sirius Black didn't know if he would be accepted for who he was. Little did he know that he wasn't the only one with a secret.

Sirius Black and the Great Dress Code Revolution of 1977 - E, 61k

In a misguided effort to fight sexism, Sirius discovers he’s really, really into wearing the girls uniform. What follows is a disastrously oblivious Remus trying to protect his friends, Sirius’ introduction into a world more magical than his own (being trans!), and Marlene McKinnon growing increasingly annoyed with authority. A character study of Sirius’ fucked up gender, his relationship with his family, his body, Remus, James, and Marlene- disguised as a getting together fic.

Gathering Home - E, 74k (unfinished)

Remus flipped the light on and sucked in a breath as he looked over his classroom, as neat and tidy as he had left it the day before. The room exuded warmth, colourful and bright, playmats on the floor and books stacked up along the walls, little boxes of crayons on all of the tables. By the end of the day, ten kindergarteners would arrive to what was functionally their second home, to once again tear it to smithereens. Eleven, Remus corrected himself—four months into the school year, a new student was joining their class. — Remus shouldn’t be attracted to Sirius Hill, not when Remus is responsible for teaching his five-year-old little brother to read and count, and especially not with that mysterious baby strapped to Sirius’s chest. He shouldn’t. He isn’t. He is not.

my jokes are my armour, my kindness is my sword - E, 28k

“My mum died last year,” Sirius says at last, perhaps more bluntly than he intended – perhaps not given the defiant set of his chin. “And we don’t have a gravestone yet, till the ground settles or whatever, so I want something I can put there to represent her and how toxic she was.” Remus blinks. Whatever he had expected Sirius to say, it hadn’t been that. He had inferred that he and Regulus had a complicated relationship with their blood family, but this was a wholly unexpected turn. Unfortunately, instead of the empathic response he knows is in there somewhere, what comes out is: “Yes, that sounds like a perfectly healthy response to grief.”

It's a New Dawn - M, 106k

What took place in the Lycanthropy ward was thankless, rotten work. Sickening for those who didn’t care for the monsters; heart wrenching for those few who did. Remus had an inkling of which category Lily belonged to, and he didn’t think it was fair that she had to go through this so early in her studies. “Why would you choose this ward, Lily?” he asked again, gently. Remus Lupin (19 years old, formerly home schooled, currently employed in a bookshop, forever afflicted with lycanthropy and a cheeky mother) leads a peaceful - if a bit lonely - life. Enter up-and-coming Healer in training Lily Evans, stubborn and determined to make a friend out of the sarcastic little shit that is her favourite patient. Secrets are disclosed, closets are exited, family is found. Lives are changed for the better.

A Fool and His Money - M, 36k

Remus Lupin has an easy life. He manages his University studies and his chronic illness, and lives comfortably with his flatmate Regulus Black. Then one day he meets Regulus’ older brother and his entire life gets turned upside down when he’s offered an opportunity to make his life just a little bit easier. It was supposed to be just a business transaction between friends. Feelings were never supposed to get involved.

Discards - M, 76k

When assistant librarian Sirius Black develops a crush on a college student at the Seattle Public Library, all he wants to know is whether he's cool about dating trans guys. But Remus's life is more complicated than Sirius ever could have guessed.

Without Translation - G, 5k

When Remus moves into the new University housing, he isn't sure what to expect, but the Deaf Artist, Sirius Black is not it. Especially as Remus only has the function of one hand, and sign language is beyond him. But in the end, when it comes to love and communication, the pair find their own way to say I love you.

Whatever Words I Say - G, 23k

When Remus Lupin is hired to control the antics of famous lead singer of the Marauders, Sirius Black, he knows he has his work cut out for him. Sirius is contrary and has absolutely no chill, and loves pissing off the press. Remus feels up to the challenge, but he certainly does not expect to fall head over heels in love from the moment he meets the charismatic singer.

Defectors - M, 53k

I'm supposed to be dead. I was ready for it. More than ready. He struggles to sort quickly through his muddled thoughts. If he's not allowed to die, he needs to find sanctuary. Somewhere where they won't find him. Someone who can destroy it. AU where Regulus survives the horcrux cave and Sirius gets pushed to the edge.

Ghost Notes - M, 12k

AU where Remus didn’t attend Hogwarts. Sirius is smitten with the cute boy he meets at a punk show, and is determined to win him over.

Quick Draw - M, 10k

Sirius has never been a fan of thinking things through, but Remus is always there to keep him grounded. A quick peek at the couple from their first trip on the Hogwarts Express through the AU conclusion in 1981.

[writteninlunarlight-years]

Hey, I was wondering if you could do a match-up for Harry Potter! Specifically the Marauders Era.

Female, She/They, Pansexual

Plus size!, but more thighs (and boobs) than anything, dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, i have glasses,

My personality is loving, patient, (surprisingly) smart and good at classes, but that's probably bc I'm determined and work hard- I can be really sassy though, nurturing, I have to stick to a semi strict schedule, forgiving, and I guess caring, also im an ambivert!! (I just kinda looked up personality traits and went with what I thought fit me. Bear with me.)

Likes: Reading, writing, SWEATERS, school, candles, blankets, sour candy, chocolate, sunflowers, sunsets, the moon

Dislikes: When my schedule gets completely destroyed, sudden and really big change, people who chew with their mouth open, feeling really embarrassed and like everyone is judging me, olives,

Extra fun facts: I have chronic headaches, bad knee problems in my right knee 😍, if I have an assignment I will always do way too much for it

Hope that's okay and you're okay with doing this, and I hope i did it right!!! Sorry for any spelling mistakes :)

Annos, please never apologize for spelling errors, lol. I don't know if you've read my posts, but I can not spell either. I am incredibly reliant on Grammarly, and my partner makes fun of me for it regularly.

Also, does anyone else pretend/feel like that lady from Mulan when they do these matchups? No, just me. Aight, I'll be in the corner now.

~~~~~MATCH UP~~~~~

Annon, I must match you with the sweetest boy of the tricksters.

Remus Lupin

~~Headcanons~~

This man would bake you and buy you the best chocolates. He will curb your sweet tooth like no tomorrow.

He respects a girl who is not afraid to be herself, and if anyone tries to put you down and make you get in your head, he's not scared to be a big bad wolf ( see what I did there )

He loves it when you can put up with his three headaches. Wait, he means friends.

He would want to study with you all the time, so much so that James, Sirius, and Peter complain about missing their friend.

MANS WOULD WEAR MATCHING SWEATERS PROVE ME WRONG

Remus strikes me as the guy who will get you flowers just because, so expect to be showered with your favorites. However, he always forgets that he should buy you flowers on a holiday.

Though he is afraid of the full moon, watching the skies with you any other time has become an enjoyable pastime, especially to see you light up.

When he has to hide away for the full moon, he makes you a goodie basket to 'remember' him by till he comes back.

If you are ever feeling unwell or hurt, he will carry you up to his dorm and make you comfy in his bed. He will get you all the fixings to cure your ailments. I'm talking hot water bottles, heavy blankets, blackout curtains, water, pain medicine, and, of course, cuddles.

~~~~~Blurb~~~~~

You sat in the library waiting for Remus to arrive for your study date. As you finished your potion essay for him to look over, an exhausted, panting Sirius appeared before you. You looked up at him, amused, "Y/N, I am telling you we need him for Quidditch. Please, please, tell him to skip Hogsmeade this weekend." As Sirius was begging, he got down on his knees.

Around the corner soon came James looking almost as exhausted as the other boy in front of you. You chuckle into your hand, knowing that the Librarian will soon grow tired of the Maurder's antics. "Boys, you know he is his own person, right? What makes you think I have any say." You looked at the boys innocently. With a scoff, Sirius stood, wrapping his arm around James' shoulder. "Y/N, the man is so in love with you that he talks to you in his dreams. Of course, he will listen to you."

Before you could open your mouth again, James and Sirius were on the floor, this time due to a perfectly timed nudge to the back of their knees. Remus looked up at you and smiled softly, "Hi, my sweet. I brought you some treats." Placing down your candy, which he knew you favored, he sat across from you, ready to study.

James popped up from the floor, "Look, Y/N, he's even wearing a matching jumper with you! We have asked to match as a group of friends for ages. You can't tell me this man isn't whipped." You laughed at the remark, watching Remus nudge the back of James' knee again, causing him to collapse.

~~~~~EXTRA~~~~~

(You are looking up at the stars with the whole friend group. Your head is placed in Remus' lap. Peter is asleep lounging on the grass. Sirius, James, and Lily are all leaning back, looking at the stars.)

Y/N: Do you think that when the first people watched the stars, they thought they were crazy when they started moving each night.

Sirius: Wait, do the stars move each night?

James: I thought it was the moon that moved.

Lily: Sometimes it amazes me how you two breathe on your own.

Remus: (rubbing his temples, feeling the headache coming on) I'm glad someone else said it.

I hope you enjoy!!

To Begin Again

THREE

Summary: You're a new teacher at a large and influential school. It's a risky step for you, as you've been running from your ex for almost two years. But when Dumbledore asks you to take on a class at the renowned Hogwarts, you can't refuse. However, your life as a newly arrived teacher won't be easy. Especially when the other teachers don't seem eager to make friends. Or rather, two teachers in particular: Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.

Author's Note: Welcome, dear readers. Please leave your comments if you enjoy fanfiction. This fanfic takes place almost in the real world (with the addition of werewolves) and is not a wizarding fanfic. There will be some differences and changes in things from the Harry Potter story or other fanfics in the HP universe, but I promise to do my best writing this fanfic. There will be a love triangle coming in this fanfic.

TWO

One week since your arrival at Hogwarts has passed faster than you imagined. During this time, you discovered some things: single teachers tend to live in a building exclusive to Hogwarts, with one floor designated for each pair of teachers. Each floor is divided into two large rooms on the right and two on the left. These rooms, almost like suites, have a shared entrance between the two rooms leading to a bathroom. Meals are taken at the same time as the students but in a specific staff wing.

Before your arrival, there was a draw to determine who would share the floor and bathroom with you. To your "luck" (with irony), your floor mate is none other than Sirius Black. On the same floor as you, there are also Peter Pettigrew and Bellatrix Lestrange. Other married teachers or staff members of Hogwarts live in houses or mansions in the nearest village to Hogwarts. Students spend most of the school year residing at Hogwarts, being released only on festive dates and weekends if they want to spend time with their families. Not all families reside near Hogwarts or in London, so many students spend the year at Hogwarts. Harry Potter's parents, Lily and James, work at the school and live in the village. Therefore, Harry spends weekends with them. Draco Malfoy isn't as lucky. Lucius Malfoy, from what you've been told, prefers a luxurious life as CEO of a conglomerate over coming to London to visit his son. He apparently has a house in the village where he sends Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, when he's tired of marital life. She seems to be Draco's parental support. According to Remus, Narcissa volunteers frequently to help with school matters. Lucius Malfoy is a major donor of money to assist with the school's financial issues. Hermione Granger's parents are also known to make generous donations to Hogwarts, but as they are not wealthy, this means they spend more time working than being able to care for her. Therefore, she only visits them on festive dates. They apparently live in London, so it's a long train journey to get there. Just thinking about the poor girl spending much of her holidays on a train for hours makes you feel a bit exhausted. Ron Weasley is the son of two Hogwarts employees. Molly Weasley works in the school's administration, while Arthur Weasley works as a librarian. They live in a large house in the village, from what you've heard. 

And those were some of the pieces of information you managed to gather during this week. McGonagall assigned you to assist two teachers in their classes on your only day off, which happens to be today. Something tells you she might not have liked you much, but perhaps she just wants you to integrate into the team. And once again, by irony of fate, you will be assisting precisely the teachers you already know: Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. A curious fact is that you couldn't find out the reason why Lupin has a separate room from all the other teachers and it's so close to the school entrance.

"Excuse me, professor. May I come in to assist you on this fine morning?" You say as you enter Remus Lupin's classroom. His class takes place in an auditorium. Your voice echoes throughout the entire auditorium, and you feel embarrassed.

"Of course, please come in." Lupin replies, smiling warmly as he gestures for you to enter the classroom. The students look at you curiously, especially those who are not already your fans, like Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. You must have been the first one to, instead of fueling their rivalry, bring them together.

"Today, my dear actors, we will be doing some exercises that will prepare you for any theater play. Our first exercise and main lesson is improvisation. Professor Y/L/N and I will demonstrate it for you, and then you will practice with each other." Lupin says, gesturing for you to step onto the stage. As the students step down from the auditorium stage and take their seats as if they were spectators, you climb up, feeling uncertain if you are the best person to assist Lupin.

"Professor, who will tell you what to improvise?" Hermione Granger asks, all smart and eager. The smile she opens for being the first to ask is encouraging. You notice out of the corner of your eye Draco Malfoy sticking his tongue out towards Hermione. Harry looks at him and makes a gesture as if he's going to attack.

"I think it could be Mr. Potter. He seems eager to help us. Don't you think so, Remus?" You say, trying to attract the attention of the three students and observing them focus their attention on you. And then, when Malfoy was about to laugh at Potter, you put two fingers pointed at your eyes and then pointed them at Malfoy, as if to say, "I've got my eye on you."

"Indeed. Potter will tell us where the improvisation takes place, Granger will tell us who we are to each other, and Malfoy will tell us what we're doing. Learn that a good improvisation requires the factors: Where, Who, and What. Now let's see what my future actors have for this improvisation." Lupin seems to have noticed the same thing as you. In the end, it seems like you two make a good teaching duo.

"You're in a pub." Potter says quickly. It seems like he already had that answer ready to go. You and Remus exchange a glance and almost laugh, thinking that you'll probably have to pretend to be drunk. And the worst part, in front of the students.

"You guys are friends who have feelings for each other." Granger says after thinking for a moment. Something tells you she wants to see some good drama unfold.

"And you guys are arguing. About these feelings that Granger made up." Malfoy finishes the plot of the performance you and Lupin will have to do. You feel nervous. It's strange to do this kind of thing with someone you've known for a short time.

"You always act like this when we go out drinking. Flirting with anyone without remembering that we're together." Lupin starts the scene, giving you a slight wink while trying to pretend to be drunk and annoyed.

"That's rich coming from you. You're always out and about with a different person, like some big Casanova. Just to be clear, in a friendship, you have permission to flirt with other people." You act, portraying a sense of indignation.

"Our... our moments together should be just ours. But of course, you don't understand, how could you? You only think of yourself." Lupin says, and it's so funny the way he says it that you laugh, breaking character, but you quickly try to recover and finish the performance.

"You're mistaken, you stubborn man. I think of you. Night and day, all the time if it matters." You say, being overly dramatic, but it seems like the students and Lupin found it amusing. Your finger is pointed at the middle of Lupin's chest as if accusing him.

"Know that I think of you too. More than necessary, more than anyone would like to admit." Lupin says, holding your finger and looking deeply into your eyes. It's almost enchanting to gaze into his eyes. You both lean in closer, without breaking eye contact. Until you hear a noise like two bodies hitting the ground and immediately look down. Malfoy and Potter are fighting clumsily. You and Lupin rush down to intervene, with you holding onto Malfoy, who was pulling Potter's hair this time, and Lupin, who takes the task of lifting Potter off the ground and holding him back. No real harm came to either of them. After a stern talking-to from Lupin, both of them apologized, even Malfoy. It might have been the fear of facing McGonagall or missing the rest of the week's classes, or perhaps the prospect of their parents having to come in. You're not entirely sure what brought about the reconciliation, but it worked.

"Everyone else is dismissed. Except for Malfoy and Potter. As punishment, you'll accompany Professor Y/L/N to her next class as assistants and participate in the lesson. I'll inform the teacher of your scheduled class that you'll be otherwise occupied. When Professor Y/L/N authorizes it, you'll be released from punishment." Remus says, and you look at him in confusion. Is the punishment for them or for you?

"But Professor..." Draco and Harry speak in unison, looking at each other in surprise. You and Lupin laugh, and then you gently touch their shoulders. Then you point to the exit of the auditorium.

"Follow me, boys. Professor Black must be waiting for us." You say, leading them out. Before leaving, you wave gently to Remus, who waves back. The moments of improvisation between you are playing in your head like a movie trailer. The three of you take a long route, with Malfoy and Potter arguing about who is to blame for their punishment and which way to go. It feels like an eternity until you arrive at the hall where Sirius's class takes place.

"Got lost on the way and needed the help of two troublemakers to get to me, Y/N?" Sirius asks, looking at you with a hint of mockery. You take a deep breath because you know you can't curse him. At least not right now.

"No, Black. The two troublemakers are accompanying me as punishment, and I came to assist you in the dance class. I never imagined you'd teach this kind of class." You say, teasing Sirius, who continues with a charming crooked smile on his face.

"So, I have to inform you both that you'll be partners. We're practicing ballroom dancing today, which gives me the unique opportunity to teach this class with a partner. I'm sure Harry and Draco will manage each other just fine. In fact, I'll let you decide who will lead and who will follow." Sirius says, turning on the music for you to dance and extending his hand towards you. You smile, realizing it might be easier to handle the Potter/Malfoy rivalry than you thought.

"You handle them well. Better than I imagined. At least you know how to do that." You say as you feel Sirius' hand firmly hold your waist and guide you. One, two, three, one, two, three. You're being led by him across the dance floor, reaching certain realizations you'd rather not admit. The main one being that you're attracted to Sirius Black. The second major realization is that he's an excellent teacher.

"I know how to do many things well. I hope I can show you all of them someday. But it's easy to get them to focus in class when your lesson requires meticulous concentration. Not to mention, the music and the steps help scatter conversations." Sirius says with a playful tone, leading you through the dance with confidence.

"I find you handsome, and it makes me uncomfortable." Slips out of your mouth accidentally, and you silently thank the gods that apparently no one else heard you. Well, no one else except the idiot in front of you. 

"Let me see if I got this right. Are you uncomfortable because of my beauty or because you find me handsome?" Sirius teases, poking fun at you. You're not sure how to respond, pretending to observe the students. You actually check on Malfoy and Potter, and it seems that besides finding their rhythm, they found a bit of harmony. Malfoy even let Potter lead him in the dance.

"I think it's the second option. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I didn't come here for this. I don't even know why I said that. Just pretend you didn't hear it." You deflect, stepping back a bit from Sirius. As soon as he senses your retreat, he twirls you around and steps closer to you.

"Go out with me. We can go to a bar nearby. If you want, I can invite Lupin. Maybe then you'll feel more comfortable talking about how you want..." Sirius starts to say, but you purposefully step on his foot.

"Watch what you say. The next place I hit won't be your feet." You try to sound threatening, but it doesn't seem to work. Sirius bites his lip and pulls your body close to his, making a strangely sexy dance move.

"I'm looking forward to our date tonight." Sirius says to you, then stops the dance. "Students, congratulations, you managed to concentrate enough for no one to get hurt in this class. Special congratulations to you, Potter." Sirius says, looking in the direction of Malfoy and Potter.

"And congratulations to you too, Malfoy. You two are excused from accompanying me. But no fights on the way out." You say, looking at the two of them, who nod almost in unison and quickly leave the class with the other students. 

"How will we handle the bathroom schedule  of the bathroom that we share, since we're going out together tonight?" You ask as you feel Sirius getting close behind you. You hear his muffled laughter near your ear and shiver all over.

"Not to be obvious, but I think we're grown-ups. We can use the same bathroom without any major issues." Sirius says, trying to sound charming, and you look at him seriously. Then you lightly slap his arm and leave the hall. After all, now you have a date, not only with one, but with two men. If that can be considered a date, after all.

So I thought I’d start of this blog with some of my favorites!

The Long Game by lackadaisical_lizard (M, 243k) - British modern high school AU where James is the popular jock/ football star and Regulus is the quiet artist who couldn't be less bothered by status or popularity. They work on a project together. Pining ensues.

Librarian’s Review: I had originally set out to read this as a sort of fluffy side fic, but I quickly became obsessed with the well thought-out character building and phenomenal plot. My emotions have short-circuited. Absolutely one of the best things I’ve ever read, and guaranteed to make me smile and cry in equal measure.

my almost lover by alaranai (T, 23k) - Regulus and James are a couple. James is the last person to realise this.

Librarian’s Review: The characters in this are so spot on. I swear it was written by the marauders themselves. I’m so impressed with this author - they’ve somehow managed to write an adorable story that stocks with you even after you’ve read it a bajillion times.

love is not a predicate by mordax (M, 132k) - Regulus wants to be a classical pianist but can only bring himself to practice at night, and James has insomnia and finds music is the perfect cure. An exploration of Regulus's mind and struggle with the Black family, his journey to accepting himself, and his path to mending broken relationships, building new ones, and maybe, possibly, finding love. (circa 70s in a boarding school much like Hogwarts, only muggle)

Librarian’s Review: A truly outstanding angsty read. Regulus is so broody in this that I want to squish him (and possibly the author too). The world-building is so well woven into the plot that you don’t even notice it until you start being able to picture scenes as they happen. 

Art Heist, Baby! by otrtbs (M, 219k) - When James Potter answers a mysterious ad in his local coffee shop, the last thing he expects is to be thrown into a world of white collar crime, but how can he resist when the mastermind behind the operation has dark hair and brooding eyes and promises wealth beyond James' wildest imagination? He would do anything for that boy named after a star, including stealing millions of dollars of fine art.

Librarian’s Review: Call me basic, but this fic is truly one of the pillars of the entire Jegulus fan-canon. It is a classic. Are you ready to be destroyed and left speechless in awe? Well saddle up buckaroo, because reading this for the first time (or even the 51st) will change you forever.

And in the Death of His Reputation He Felt Truly Alive by reggiesreputation (M, 79k) - Regulus Black is the biggest pop star on the charts, but when pictures of him kissing a man are splattered on every paper in the world, he is severed from his family's record label. He has lost his music, his home, and his reputation is in shambles. But with the help of producer Remus Lupin, his brother, and a gorgeous man he meets in a dive bar, Regulus Black will rebuild his reputation, write his best album yet, and maybe even fall in love.

Librarian’s Review: Ok, so I’m not exactly what most people would consider a Taylor Swift fan, so I thoroughly did not realize that this was partially about her until very far into the fic. It is really good though! I would check it out, simply because it will alter your worldview. 11/10 stars.

BROKE YOUR OWN HEART

(Can't Finish What You Start)

Remus Lupin & Original Male Character

cw: slight implied domestic abuse, angst, slow burn

Summary

CHAPTER O3

       When Remus woke up the next morning, Elliot's bed was empty.

        He had slept uninterrupted until 9am, so that made almost 13 hours of sleep, wich was crazy. But in his defense, he hadn't rested well enough since the full moon of a couple days ago, because of the stress about the internship and all, he barely closed an eye. So he let it slide. Besides, Elliot wasn't home, so it would be awkward to hang around the house without him there for so much time.

             Remus found a little note in Elliot's dresser, written in hasty, sloppy letters. "Late night shift. Be back 10". Okay, one hour of awkwardness. That wasn't so bad, right?

            He made his bed -mattress- and marched to the bathroom after finding another messy note. "Don't be lame. Take a shower". That one made him laugh. So after he did, he slipped some clothes on -not too librarian-y this time- and braced himself to get out of the room and greet the whole family.

          But when he did there was only Gia sitting in the armchair at the living room. She stopped reading her big book to look at him. "Hey... Rudolf, right?"

           "Uh, it's Remus, actually. Good morning"

           "Oh" they stood in an uncomfortable silence for a couple minutes. Remus sat on the couch, trying to act busy. Well, as busy as you can look while assesing the chipped paint on the walls.

           "Um, what are you reading?" He liked books, maybe that would be a nice conversation.

          "Some History book I got assigned" she answered, tucking a long braid behind her ear with hot pink painted nails.

         "Are you in summer school or something?" Remus asked, raising an impressed eyebrow. He remembered yesterday, when Elliot went into her room and told her not to study too hard. She shook her head.

          "I'm trying to get a scholarship at this fancy private school. They got a kickass Math program" she said, like that was the coolest thing in the world. "I have to know about the school's history or some shit" she winced, signaling to the book on her hands "Old white people are weird. No offense"

          "Non taken. Where is the rest of your family?" He asked, more to keep the conversation going than actual concern. Besides, Gia looked glad to take a break from the boring read.

          "Mom took Dominic with her to the store, Elliot's probably coming back from his shift at the bar right now and Lupe and Eric sleep as long as they can in summer"

           "What about your dad?" It was a cunning question to ask and Remus inmediately felt like an asshole after the young girl seemed to slightly flinch at his words.

             "Um, work trip. He'll be back this afternoon, probably" she answered quickly, going back to the book on her lap.

          Ten silent minutes later Elliot arrived home, wearing blue jeans and a worn down messenger bag on his shoulder.

           "Oh, hey. You sleep fine?" He directed to Remus after looking at him like he had almost forgotten he was there.

          "Yeah, thanks. Maybe a little too good. Just got up" he explained, making the other boy smile.

          Elliot didn't seem to care much about covering his arms anymore, now sporting a loose shirt with the sleeves chopped off. Maybe because Remus already knew what hid underneath, or perhaps it was because Remus was the outsider and Elliot could kick him out anytime he wanted if he did something out of his liking. And it was fucking hot outside. Yeah, that was probably it.

          "Want some breakfast?" Elliot asked, looking inside the mostly empty fridge.

          "Not really, I had like- three servings last night" Remus put a hand on his stomach, as to really probe how full he was.

          "As you wish. There's probably just stale cereal anyway" Remus laughed.

           "So..." Elliot leaned on the kitchen counter, arms crossed.

           "So"

           "No internship today?" Remus shook his head.

           "I start as a regular this monday. The last couple weeks I had to go was to meet some people, see how I adjusted to the way the office worked..." he explained.

          "Don't wanna pay you 'til next month, huh?" Elliot said, smiling knowingly and tilting his chin up a little. Remus cackled loudly, the type you let out when you hadn't expected to laugh anytime soon.

          If he was having this conversation with any of the Mauraders it would be very different. They would probably tell him how great it was to only have to go a few times a week, checking the place out and that he should take advantage of his last days of "freedom", no strings attached. It would be great if he hadn't actually been running errands for almost everyone in the office and working without pay for those "adjusting" first days.

          But Elliot wasn't part of the Mauraders. He lived in Jaywick and earned his own money since he was ten, took care of his family and knew how the real world worked. More than Remus, anyway.

          "Pretty much" Remus answered, still laughing softly.

          "Been there"

            Remus went in to say something, but the door opened and Marian came from outside, Dominic following close behind her. Elliot inmediately took some of the very few plastic bags she was holding and placed them on the kitchen counter.

          "Good morning!" She said, panting slightly at the long walk. The three of them greeted her in the same way "Look!" She pointed to the baby looking around the house and still standing on the doorstep.

          "He's walking!" Exclaimed Elliot after his little brother walked up steadily to him, arms streched to the boy, who took him happily in his arms.

          "Left him on the store's floor for a second and went straight for the Cocoa Puff's as soon as I turned around. Hasn't stopped walking since then. Well, 'til now" she said, looking fondly at her two sons while Elliot bounced him around and contratulated him "Had to get them" she said, taking the box of chocolate marbles out of one of the bags.

         "Good job, Dom! Go for the vodka next time, 'kay? I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" Elliot said when his mother slapped him playfully on the arm and sent him a stern look. Remus and Gia laughed.

         "You better be" she finished the conversation and going to put the groceries away.

          Elliot sat on the couch next to Remus, sighing loudly and closing his eyes while Dominic played with his long curls.

          "Tired from the shift?" Remus asked, looking at his friends puppy eyes and freckled covered button nose. Merlin, he was truly beatiful.

          "Six hours of sleep isn't that bad" Elliot said, turning his head to look at Remus. They stayed like that for a few seconds, like they finally had the time to study eachother.

          Maybe that was true for Elliot, but Remus has been watching him from a lot of time ago. Ever since the first months of third year, when Elliot and Lucas Servin -a really gnarly Sytherin boy- got into a passionate fight in the middle of Potion's, wich ended in the entirety of the ingredients shelf destroyed on the floor. That was the first time he noticed him, with a bruise forming on top of golden skin and another bruise.

          After that, no one in Hogwarts had Potion's Class for a whole week, since the professors had to replace everything. He remained a hero for the rest of the year, before everyone forgot about it.

          Besides that, the rest of the Mauraders never payed him much attention aside from the rare comment Sirius made about how 'rad' he seemed to be, with his cigarrettes and permanent too-cool-for-school demeanor. Elliot was the reason Sirius took up smoking in the first place -James kinda resented him for that-. But Remus liked it that way. It felt like Elliot was his underrated little secret, only a view for him to admire.

            Until that had to stop, anyway. The universe seemed to know that the little crush he had had only grown stronger by sixth year and that he intened to do nothing about it. So the universe decided to give the matter a little push. In the form of a socially clueless Sirius Black.

         Remus can still remember the day the long haired boy bursted open the door of their room while holding a bored looking Elliot from his wrist, screaming "He has muggle records!". Remus nearly choked on air at the sight. Partly because he was laying down in only his boxers when it happened. Marvelous for a first impression, really.

           After that, Elliot bonded with Sirius about music, leather jackets and the apparent admiration the other boy seemed to have for him (after spending more time with him neither could deny that Elliot was, indeed, the coolest out of them). But Remus and him always seemed to gravitate towards one another in a strange, nochalant way.

          "I was gonna hang out with some friends later. I can tell 'em to fuck off and we can do something together" Elliot was the one to break off the silence, but his eyes still fixed on Remus golden ones, who was the one to break eye contact. As nice as going out with Elliot sounded, being a burden to the boy was the worst thing that could happen to him. Remus didn't want Elliot to change anything of the way he lived just because he was there.

           "No. It's alright. I reckon I can find something to do" he answered quickly.

           "You can come with me" Elliot shrugged.

           Thank Merlin he didn't add "If you want" to that sentence, Remus thought.

            "Are you sure? I don't want to intrude" like he wasn't intruding enough already.

             "You won't. It'll be nice, you can meet my friends. You'll like 'em... I think. They're assholes but only with people they know" Remus laughed lightly and nodded at Elliot.

          "Alright. Sure"

          The rest of the day went by rather smoothly, Lupe and Eric woke up, they all had some lunch together and Elliot took a nap while Remus read 'A Room with a View' by his side. Soon it was time to meet the friends Elliot mentioned, so he changed into some old faded shirt and a pair of sport shorts, advising Remus to do the same, but shook him off saying that what he wearing was comfortable enough. Elliot had only looked at him up and down and said "Suit yourself".

            "Ma, we're going out" he said before opening the door.

           "But your father's coming today!" she answered.

           "Yeah, that's why we're going out" he said, lightheartidly.

           "Okay... be careful"

              They said their goodbyes and stepped outside, where a thin girl leaned on what was left of the torned down fence. She smiled at them.

           "Hey!" She waved as Elliot smiled back at her.

             The girl was absolutely beautiful, she had glowing skin, a pair of teal colored earings dangling from her ears and an afro so big it made her almost taller than Remus.

            "Hey, Mar. This 's Remus. Remus, this is Marcia" he pointed at him. The three of them started walking down the street.

             "Pleasure to meet you" Remus said, shaking her hand.

            "Woah, this must be the first person I shake hands with on this block" She joked, althought looking sincerly surprised, wich made Elliot snort "Where did you find such a cute, polite boy?" She directed to Elliot, who rolled his eyes at the blushing boy.

             "Boarding school. You coming with us?" He inquired, not leaving a second for her to say anything else. This was her turn to roll her eyes with faken annoyance.

            "Yup. Richie phoned me, said he wanted to spend as many time as he could with me before moving back to America" she kicked a pebble on the floor, grimacing slightly.

            "How you doing with that?" She shrugged.

            "As cracking as I can. I'll miss him but I believe trying long distance would be worse" Elliot nodded in understanding.

            The three of them enganged in some small talk after Mar said she would "get depressed" if they kept talking about it. She asked Remus about school and made jokes about how annoying Elliot was. She was nice, and it was funny seeing the curly haired boy pretend to be irritated by her antics. They were clearly comfortable with eachother, and Remus learned they became good friends after Elliot and his family moved to England, since she lived right next door.

          They got closer to the small basketball court where there were already a few boys running around. Elliot took off the moment they arrived and stole the faded orange ball from one of them, dodging exaggeratedly and finally throwing it inside the hoop. Show off, Remus thought.

          "Yo, I just got here and I'm aready kicking y'alls ass" he said jockingly, shit eating grin on his face.

          "Fuck you, man" one of them said, but he was also smiling widly. They started greeting eachother and Elliot introduced Remus to them.

            Mar went to give a shy kiss to a boy with short tight curls, who Remus supposed was Richie.

          "You wanna be on my team, Mar?" Elliot asked her, boucing the ball on the floor. "Ew" was all she said before going to sit down on one of the benches in the side of the court, making him snicker "Remus?"

          "Oh, no. I'm absolutely terrible. I'll just sit down with Marcia" he answered "Yeah, cheers, though" he said after Mike -a boy with a very strange mustache- politely asked him if he was sure.

           "Okay. More space for me to fuck y'all up, then" Elliot said, squating down to start the game.

           "You wish you could fuck me, Faye" was the last thing Remus heard before sitting down next to the girl, who pulled out a nail polisher from God knows where.

          "Elliot never told me he had friends from the boarding school" she told him without looking up from her hands.

          "We met properly last year. My mates pretty much stalked him everyday until he agreed to hang out with us"

            "That sounds like Elliot" they laughed lightly "I'm glad he met you, then. Doesn't seem so much against going back this summer. He always goes round and round about how much he hates all of that potions and charms stuff" Remus face paled.

          "You- You know about-?"

          "About the magic? Yeah" she said, shrugging like it was nothing "We went to some party on Christmas and got pissed, like- really pissed, and 'Lio wanted to smoke a fag but couldn't find his lighter, so he took this stick from his boot and lighted it. In front of bloody everyone!" she was laughing sterically while telling the story "He was lucky everyone was too fucked up to care. Except me, of course. I'm the only one who knows"

          "That's... an extremely careless and stupid thing to do"

          "Yeah, well, Elliot is extremely careless and stupid sometimes"

          Like if summoned, the boy trotted up to them while breathing heavily, wet curls already stuck to his sweaty forehead.

         "Jesus fuck, it's hot today" he said, more to just complain than to obtain a response. He pulled off his almost drenched shirt and throwed it to Mar's face, who grabbed it with the tip of her fingers and a disgusted grimace "Oops" Elliot faked, running away before the girl could throw a punch at him.

         "Ugh, he's disgusting"

         They kept talking while watching the boys play for a couple more hours until they were quite literally about to pass out from exhaustation. Mar had to get in 'Mum mode' and tell them to at least rest for a couple minutes, so they all sat near them, panting and passing a single bottle of water around. Elliot was sat on the floor next to Remus legs, resting his back on the bench. All they could hear for a couple minutes was eachothers heavy breathing, their lungs trying to get to normal.

          "Who's going to The Butcher with me tonight?" Asked 'Mouth' after a while, Remus almost didn't even understanding him by the accent and tired mumbling.

          That was something Remus noticed quickly, that the majority of the group had an American accent, foreign to him. Jay, Mar and himself being the only ones with a british one.

         Also, what the fuck was The Butcher?

           "Not me, man" said Richie, looking lovingly at Mar and grabbing her hand "I'm taking Mar to Lucille's" they all faked gagged at the smiling couple "Say whatever you want. There's a reason the ladies don't want any of you dogs" they boo'ed at his declaration and punched him in a friendly way from their places.

          Lucille's was the fanciest restaurant in Jaywick's perimeters. It wasn't expensive or anything, but they actually had tablecloths and served more than one option of pasta. That had to count for something, right?

          "Me either" said Mike "Rugby practice" they nodded, knowing that if he wanted to get that sports scholarship next year missing practice was off limits.

          "Jay?" The boy only shook his head sheepishly "Come on guys! None? What about you, Elliot? We are the only ones who participate, anyway"

            Elliot tensed. He rested his elbows on his knees, throwing a quick glance at Remus and trying to not look so obvious, but failing "I don't know, man"

          "What? You afraid white boy here getting heart burn?"

          Okay, they called him Mouth for a reason.

          "Shut up, Mouth" he scolded him trying to ignore the way Remus seemed to get a little uncomfortable and throwed a tiny piece of concrete at his head. Even Mike seemed to sense it, and shoved his shoulder.

          "It's double bets today, you can't miss that" he insisted, but Elliot still seemed unsure.

          "We'll go" said Remus, before Elliot had time to refuse the proposition. They all looked at him, suprised. It was obvious Elliot wanted to go -whatever The Butcher was- but was holding back because of Remus presence. Then again, all he wanted was to not be a burden. And maybe, just maybe, because Mouth's comment had pissed him off a little.

          It was getting dark already, the sun was just finishing hiding in the distance.

          "You sure?" Elliot asked him. He nodded surely "Okay, then. We'll go. But I should go pick up some clothes"

           "The Betting Pool starts in like- 15 minutes. We don't have time" said Mouth, checking his wrist watch.

           "You know they have a no shorts rule" Elliot directed to him.

           "I have a pair of extra jeans in my bag, I'll loan them to you" said Mike, unzipping the said bag and throwing the pair of pants to him.

           "You sure? I'll get 'em dirty"

           "Yeah, man. They're old, anyway"

          So Elliot stood up and pulled down his shorts right there and slipped the dark washed jeans easily. Mike was a lot bigger than him, Rugby and all, so they fit a little too loosly around his hips and legs. Remus thought he should start getting used to his friends lack of modesty and asked himself how could he look so good in anything he wore, baggy and all.

          "We should get going" said Mouth, getting up from the floor.

          Elliot, Mouth and Remus greeted the other boys and started walking down the street. Until Mar called for Elliot and pulled him apart.

          "You know I don't like you going to that place. And I'm sure your family doesn't fancy it any more than I do" she crossed her arms over her chest, stern but concerned look on her face.

          "Mouth's going too" he protested like a little boy who got denied to a sleepover.

          "Elliot, I don't give a bloody fuck what Mouth does. I worry about you"

          "Look, Mar. I aprecciate it, really, but don't worry, okay? It'll be fine, I always come back safe and sound" Elliot rested his hands on her shoulders reassuringly. He looked at her with his big puppy eyes until she gave up.

          "Fuck! Okay, just be careful. But I don't want to bloody see any teeth missing from your mouth tomorrow" Elliot laughed.

          "I promise, you'll see this beautiful smile again" he started walking backwards to meet Remus and Mouth again, talking loudier so she could hear him "Besides, it's the other guys you should be concerned about!" He smiled cockily, making her roll her eyes and fipping him while turning around to go to her boyfriend.

          "Ready?"

          "Yeah"

HELLO BUBBA!!! This is so fun!!

💐~ I’m Aggie , I’m from PeachTree Georgia but I moved to Maine for school! I’m a southern girl who loves writing, October’s, the smell after a rain storm, music that gives you goose pimples , and 19th century / Renaissance art. I love to watch the sunset, read in cozy libraries, and listen to music that has a rain sound over it. My favorite color is green! And my favorite scent is apples!

Could I please be paired with Minho from The Maze Runner or Remus Lupin in the Marauders era! Lmao I couldn’t decide 😂😂 you choose!

Love you bubba! Again, I’m literally so proud of it. You deserve it , honestly 💕🥲

HEY THERE BUBBA!! I HONESTLY COULDNT HAVE GOTTEN HERE WITHOUT ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT SO THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥲❤️🥲

Here’s one with Remus Lupin just for you ;)

Leaning over, you opened the window slightly, allowing the scent of newly fallen rain to waft into the library from window sill seat that you sat burrowed up on, your favorite book cracked open in your lap.

The beautiful grounds of Hogwarts distracted you momentarily in all its glistening glory, and you couldn’t help but sigh in contempt at the perfect day.

“Mind if I sit?” The voice of your best friend rang out from above you.

You looked up, grinning at Remus and scooting over to make room, patting the cushion beside you welcomingly.

He sunk into his spot, his own favorite book in hand, not yet opening it as he let you lean your head against his shoulder, both of you staring out the window in a comfortable silence. A silence that you feel like can only happen when you’re around Remus.

“Here,” He said softly, taking a wrapped up chocolate bar out of his pocket and splitting it in half, munching on his part while handing the other to you.

You hummed in thanks, chewing on yours as in sync, the two of you opened your books and began reading.

It wasn’t too long before you peaked over the top of your cover, noticing the sky had cleared up and the sun had begun to set, casting a beautiful pink and orange tint over the castle and everything around it.

“Remus,” you got his attention, nudging his side gently.

He looked up, eyes filled with wonder as he took in the scene before him, “Wow,” he breathed out.

Knowing that if the sun was setting, it meant that the library would be closing soon, so you sighed, looking up at the tall boy, “Come on, Rem, let’s go back before we get kicked out again.”

He chuckled slightly at the memory of the two of you accidentally falling asleep a week before and waking up to a less than thrilled librarian, rising before offering you a hand to do the same.

Stealing one last glance behind you at your new favorite spot in all of Hogwarts, you let your best friend wrap his arm around your shoulder and lead the two of you out.

Ps: THANK YOU BUBBA, LOVE YOU 💕

Week 28

To Make A Family by @wolfstarbuxks

Rated T. 10k. Wolfstar

Remus Lupin falls hopelessly and helplessly in love with Sirius Black, wins a war, kidnaps a child and starts a family (and then kidnaps another kid, but who's keeping track?).

The Panini Incident by @ravenclawesome42

Rated T. 22k. Wolfstar

When the yoga studio Sirius, Marlene, and Dorcas go to every Tuesday gets replaced with a bookshop, Sirius is upset. When one of the employees takes the last caprese panini at the local cafe, it's war.

Through the white night by soufflesaregay

Rated T. 3k. Wolfstar

Spiked eggnog, mistletoe, and confessions on a snowy night at Hogwarts.

The Boys of Summer by todaslasmadrugadas

Rated T. 74k. Wolfstar

The Summer of 1978 was supposed to be the same as the previous one. And the one before that. Because, in the provincial village of Fenneltown, where 16-year-old Remus Lupin lives, nothing ever changes. Not really. Until this year, everything does.

Astronomia Nova by @smodernlife

Rated T. 36k. Wolfstar

Sirius Black is almost thirty, almost always alone, and almost always stressed out. For the past four and a half years he's been raising his late best friends' son, just trying to keep himself afloat. But his exhausting life of school drop-offs and staff meetings is interrupted when he runs into a gorgeous librarian - literally - destroying a priceless book in the process. As the men continue to meet - by chance or by design - they become more drawn to one another. Soon Sirius will have to make a choice: risk throwing a wrench into his already-chaotic life and threaten the stability he's work so hard to create for Harry, or risk losing the exquisite man who's slowly but surely captured his heart.

Precious Love by adrianmanwaring (tiktok)

Not Rated. 189k. Wolfstar

Non-magic AU: Remus Lupin and Sirius Black are in a long term relationship. Upon moving into their new house in Jasmine County, they get a call that will change their lives forever.

@wolfstarhaven did a favorite author rec and I’ve made it my mission to read (or reread) every story they put on that list because the list, and the authors, truly are a work of art. I started with the following:

The Delegate by wanderingbandurria

Rated E. 28k. Wolfstar

It’s 1921, and Sirius Black is a sailor that wants to prove himself as a political agitator. He sets foot in a lost, forgotten port in South America, where he’s supposed to help with the local organization of syndicalists. He’s not expecting to meet a brown-eyed man who is there to help put his words into Spanish. A man that’s really not interested in anything but doing his job. Nothing more.

Summary: James meets his favorite student's mother for the first time.

Notes: Marauders modern elementary school AU, kindergarten teacher!James Potter x nurse!reader, mom!reader x son!OC (Liam), inspired by this post by @ravishinglavishingluvr

specifically james as a kindergarten teacher

(see inspiration post)

(just kindergarten instead of preschool)

(yaknow, for the plot)

Okok lets get started :D:D:D

You’ve got a sweet baby boy of a son (I’m sorry if you don’t!! I also don’t but idk my stepmom is pregnant with a boy and I’m super excited and this mess is what came out so here you go)

And he’s five and in James’ kindergarten class

Baby boy is just the sweetest little thing

James loves him to death

He’s smart and nice and helpful and just an absolute gem

Like seriously tho James goes to the library during his lunch break to hang out with school librarian!Remus and school secretary!Sirius and just can’t shut up about how much he loves your son like James just talks about him the whole lunch period

And Remus and Sirius are like

“That’s great, James 😐"

But James doesn’t care he’s just too excited to have such a bright young boy in his class

And also (because James is nosy af) he’s super curious to see what kind of parents this kid has

So parent-teacher conferences roll around and he’s like “What kind of geniuses are raising this kid?? Let’s see em????”

And then nurse!reader rolls up to the 7:30 PM meeting, still in her hospital scrubs and profusely apologizing for being like three minutes late

And James is like

What.

Not at ALLLLLL what he was expecting

(not that he’s complaining, you’re fucking adorable and a great break from all the stuffy parents he’s had to deal with all day)

So you and him sit down and talk about your son’s work at school

And James just gushes about him to you practically the whole time

Like legit James fell for him before he even met you

Meanwhile you’re like

1) damn i didn’t know my kid’s teacher was so pretty

(Not like that’s important ofc because you have priorities and your son always comes first.)

And 2) but like can my son read?? Can he do math?? Are you teaching him science sir????

And James is like “yeah but he’s NICE and KIND and EMPATHETIC

“DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET FIVE YEAR OLDS TO SAY THEY’RE SORRY

“AND HE JUST DOES IT”

And you’re like

“……yeah…… bc that’s an important part of learning to be a good person … ofc I showed him how to be kind?? Like what????”

And James

(poor baby’s bar is on the floor from all the Karens who’s kids he teaches)

He’s just so enamored about how you’re just like naturally kind and caring??

And you imparted that onto your kid????

Your conference time is the last one on James’ schedule, and he absolutely irritates the fuck out of Remus and Sirius as he drives them back to their flat

Like he can’t shut up about you

And your kid

Like he just loves your son

And has a little puppy-love crush on you

Remus pretends to be annoyed and Sirius teases him

But when James drops them off they’re already planning you two’s wedding

(Remus: “You know, we haven’t actually even met her …” Sirius: “So? Have you ever seen James this smitten??? It’ll happen, love. Trust the process.”

~ headcanons in no particular order ~

A select few know about Remus’ affliction. His biggest fear goes out to being properly shunned by everyone because of it.

Remus is not a fan of astronomy. He maintained high enough marks to pass but did not put full effort into the subject while in school.

Remus severely lacks self-confidence. Although he tries to hide that fact, it can occasionally come out. He is prone to second-guessing himself and afraid of saying things that may lead to his acquaintances deciding he isn’t worth their time.

Transformations have created an arthritic-like effect on Remus’ joints. Flare-ups before and after the week of the full moon can sometimes leave him bedbound or relying on pain potions to be able to function.

Remus has kept to keeping muggle jobs, fearing that the wixen world will ask too many questions if he manages to keep a job in the community. Money is tight and he is too proud to ask for help, keeping track of who and what he owes.

REMUS LUPIN

22 who works as a HEAD LIBRARIAN AT THE LONDON MAGICAL LIBRARY INSTITUTE. They are a HALFBLOOD/WEREWOLF who currently sides with the ORDER.  Their pronouns are HE/HIM and look like CHANCE PERDOMO.

ABOUT THE CHARACTER

Personality

 Remus has always been impossibly kind, and undeniably trustworthy. He’s more resilient than most, and he uses it not only for his own sake but for others as well. He is the definition of adamantine. More than just that, he’s clever, in both strategy and his words.

 However, Remus is also fervent and it’s that intense passion that can make him difficult now and again. There were times that it turned into something like righteousness. On the flip side, Remus has a tendency to curl in on himself. His insecurities undeniably get the worst of him sometimes.

School

They went to HOGWARTS and belong in GRYFFINDOR. Remus was sorted into Gryffindor without any hesitation from the hat. Though he didn’t stray from his friends for the first couple years, he did end up joining activities later on. He became a tutor rather early in his Hogwarts years. He joined the video game club in his third year, and later the potions club. In his later years, he was inducted into the SlugClub. He made prefect his 5th and 6th year, but was actually grateful to see James take on the responsibility of Head Boy his last year. 

Bio

Lyall Lupin forever changed the course of his son’s life with a couple of ill placed words in the heat of the moment. Five years old and Remus would always be haunted by what happened the night he was changed into a werewolf. No amount of time, acceptance, or family therapy was able to fully heal his wounds from that night. It got better for a while, but then his father left with a letter expressing his greatest apologies and explaining that the guilt was too much to take. Remus stayed in his Mum’s bed that night, and when she asked him to promise that he’d never turn into a coward like his father, he did so without so much as a breath of hesitation.

Eleven was an important birthday for every magical child, but for Remus it was unbelievably life changing. Not only was he accepted to Hogwarts, he was actually going to be able to go. On the train he met a group of boys, ones who promised to stick by his side, and the nerves he had started to dissipate. Remus felt like maybe things were starting to change for him. When he got sorted into Gryffindor, he was nothing but proud, especially when he sat down among all of his new friends. He wrote home that night to tell his Mum that he got into the bravest house there is; he’s going to keep his promise.

Remus was terrified when his best friends found out that he was a werewolf, but arguably he was more relieved than anything. Not having to lie to them every month was refreshing. However, a new wave of terror and a fresh one of awe washed over him as he heard their plans of becoming animagus. Thirteen and he couldn’t believe he had friends that were willing to risk this for him. It was hard to hate himself when he had a Mum that loved him wholeheartedly and friends that would risk just about anything to bring him an ounce of peace. Running each moon with a stag, dog, and a rat made it almost bearable, and at the very least, allowed him to stay grounded.

Which was why he'd been utterly betrayed when their routine had been broken by Severus, and he realized that he’d been betrayed by one of his own. Remus had felt that fragile thread of good start to fray. During the aftermath, he spent less time in his dorm and more time branching out, trying to avoid the awkwardness. It took him some time, but eventually he came to understand the situation in its entirety. From there, he was able to forgive Sirius for all of it. Though it took time, they eventually got back to what they were.

Right out of Hogwarts, Remus joined the Order without batting an eye. Even as a child, Remus understood that he had to fight for his existence, and fight he would. Remus wasn’t going to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing him fail. Still, he continuously rose above. He went on to study the intricacies of magic and muggle relations. When he got the job as the head librarian of the London Magical Library Institute, he was thrilled. It allowed him to not only continue his research, but to also update and fully advance it into the 21st century; bringing in the technological advances that it needed.

On the side, Remus did hacking for the Order, as well as app developing. The Marauder’s Map was just the beginning for them, and he knew that there was so much more that could be done now that the technology was there. As such, Remus did all that he could to develop it for the Order’s uses.

Wanted Connections

 6th year friends // someone ( or someones ) that Remus grew close to during the fallout from the prank; people that he became closer to despite not necessarily being his full and true self with.

 Lovers // past or present loves in his life of varying degrees ( all based on plotting and chemistry of course )

Snippets from canon and admins

Sunday Mornings

It was a lazy sunday morning in Hogwards. The year had just begun and everyone was relaxing and easing back into the school year; the tests and exams still far away in everyone's minds. But not on the mind of a 7th years Hufflepuff student, who sat in the library since it opened, her nose stuck in a book. She was deep in thoughts and tried to understand what she was reading, making a few notes here and there in her worn down notebook next to the stack of books on her table. The tall girl didn't even realize that there were eyes on her the whole time while she studied, and if she did she'd probably blush, take her things and leave.

"I knew I'd find you here, Moony.", boasted the voice of Sirius Black, a smug looking handsome young Gryffindor, who walked into the library as if he owned it. He got shushed by the librarian and rolled his eyes that always held a certain gleam of mischief in them. He sat down next to a scrawny tall brunette, who glared at him in annoyance. "Still swooning after Sophia, I see."

"Shut up, Padfoot.", muttered Remus Lupin and got a little flustered when he thought he saw Sophia's head move into their direction. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that she just looked up to the clock that was hanging above their heads. "What are you even doing here? I thought you'd still have a hangover after last night.", he teased with a grin and bumped shoulders with his best friend, the annoyance quickly forgotten. Last night was the first Quidditch match and Gryffindor won by 20 points against Slytherin, which led into a huge party held in their common room. Remus obviously knew where they got the booze from, since he helped to create the map that showed the way to Hogsmead. Peter and James had snuck out of the school a few days ago to meet with their friend and "dealer", who gave them the firewhisky for a bit of money.

"Don't mention that bloody party." Sirius groaned and dramatically held his head. He was hungover pretty badly because James and him had decided to hold a drinking contest. James most likely tried to impress his girlfriend Lily, who actually got more annoyed the more he drank and acted up. "He and Peter are puking so much that I had to leave our room. Or I would have joined them.", he flinched and shuddered at the image that was locked into his brain. "So I thought to myself Why not search for my dear friend Remus and see if he is still obsessing after a tall hufflepuff like he always seems to be?"

The Black boy smirked knowingly and Remus scoffed; quickly acting like he was reading in the book that he randomly grabbed when he got there. "I am actually reading and preparing for the exams."

"The exams in 10 months?", Sirius grinned and leaned over the book to get a better look at what he was reading, only to laugh, clamping a hand over his mouth before the librarian could hush him. He took the hand away from his mouth and pointed at the text. "I didn't know that we are having exams about knitting.", he said amused and raised a brow. "I didn't even know you could knit. Will you make me a cute little scarf?"

Remus immediately shut the book and took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a second to regain his posture. Full moon would be in a few days, and he already felt the effects, being angered and triggered easier than before. When he opened his eyes again, he decided to fuck it and looked at Sirius. "What if I look at her? She's pretty and one of the few girls who isn't fawning over you.", he said, a little harsher than intended and his shoulders slumped in defeat. "Sorry…", he said quickly and looked back to the girl he had a crush on for more than a year now.

"Hey, it's fine." Sirius face lost his smirk and he actually smiled apologetic at the werewolf. "I shouldn't have teased you. I know that full moon is in a few days and how you react to it." He tore his eyes away from Remus and looked at the girl that stole his friends' heart. He didn't really know Sophia, barely exchanged words with her, but they did have potion class with her and Remus was her partner since last year. She was nearly as tall as his friend and always had colorful hair that never went past her chin. She had a few friends, one of them he even hooked up with, but other than that she seemed a little boring. Not only that, but she wasn't the best in a class, nor was she very popular. "What do you see in her?", he asked carefully. "Don't get me wrong, she looks cute, but she seems a little dull."

"It's fine…", Remus said regarding his apology before he started to smile when he asked her what he saw in her. "She's actually quite fun if you get to know her a little. She's very dreamy, which often leads to Slughorn throwing a fit when we do something wrong to a potion.", he chuckled. "She is sarcastic, a trait that you would probably appreciate if you got to know her. She is very passionate about a few things… She collects those funny muggle figures and even showed me one a few days ago. She smuggled it into class." He remembered how excited she was when she showed him a figure that was still in a box and when he asked her to open it she nearly threw a "Curciatus" Curse at him. "She loves her friends, even tho she doesn't have many. But she likes to talk about them.", he said softly. She reminded him of himself sometimes. The way she liked to keep to herself and only had a few close friends, a trait that he actually liked.

"Then why don't I ever see you talk to her outside of class?", Sirius asked him after listening to him rant about how much he liked that girl. If it was him, he would have gone to her ages ago and asked her to be his girlfriend. But not Moony. "If you don't talk to her, I will.", he suddenly said and acted like he'd stand up, only for Remus to grab his arm to pull him down. "Okay, okay.", he said amused and watched his friend battle his inner demons. He knew why he didn't want to get close to anyone, especially like that. Remus fought with many dark thoughts each day, and Sirius wished for nothing more than for him to be happy. And if Sophia made him happy, he would have to make a move.

It was silent for a few more minutes and Remus didn't look away from the Hufflepuff who seemed to desperately try to understand what she was reading. He found it endearing that she was trying so hard to learn by herself, without asking for help. Again, another trait that reminded him of himself. "I'll do it."; he said suddenly and stood up, the chair squeaking over the floor, making a few students glare at him. "Thank you.", he said towards Sirius and smiled before heading over to the currently redheaded girl. "Hey…", he said quietly and when her blue eyes snapped up to his in confusion, he smiled awkwardly. "I saw you staring your book down and thought I could help you with it?" It was more like a question and he cursed himself for not sounding a little more brave. The tall teen sat down next to her and when she sheepishly admitted that she indeed needed help with dark arts and he couldn't help but grin happily. "I can help you with that! I am actually quite good in that class." He hoped that he didn't sound too big headed, but when he saw her sweet smile and the blush on her cheeks, he quickly realized that he didn't. "Great… How about you show me what you don't understand…"

Sirius watched them interact from afar, and the smile slowly started to fade from his face. Remus looked happy next to her, and he knew that he probably didn't ask her for a date right away. He probably only asked if he could help her, but that would have to be enough for now. The young Black felt his heart clench a little at the soft smile that Remus gave Sophia, and he knew that deep down, he wished for that smile to be meant for himself…

Steamed up windows and cold hands pt. II [R.L.]

Part One: here

Pairing: Remus Lupin x Reader [female]

Warnings: I think like one swear word. Cheesy af.

Summary:  Remus has been living his life as always since meeting [Y/N], so has she, but when they cross paths again thing take an unexpected turn.  And Remus couldn’t be happier that everything ended up just like this.

A/N: Part two is finally here I’m super sorry for taking so long! I hope you like it. This one made me really realize how cheesy I am fr kinda embarrassing.  Also I recommend listening to ‘Mystery of love” by Sufjan Stevens while reading this one. 

Both of the quotes are from “Call me by your name” by Andre Aciman.

Picture not mine credits to the rightsful owner.

If you asked Remus' friends to describe him in three words, there would be many options. Helpful, kind, smart, funny, oblivious perhaps some would say, the list goes on and on. But he himself is almost certain that most of them would say forgetful. Remmy forgets a lot of things, names, birthdays, what floor is his herbiology class, the password to the common room, well there is probably more but for now he forgot the rest...oh the irony.. Remus sometimes forgets people. One time while organizing a birthday party for James he forgot that Peter Pettigriew, one of his best friends, exists, that resulted in him not inviting Pete, said boy getting sad, and a bunch of other bad things happening . But the thing is this was not not some cheap excuse, he genuinely forgot and Peter has yet to forgive him for it. As much as he hates to admit it he forgot about the train girl too. [Y/N]. Her name pops up in his mind suddenly almost as if his brain is starting to pity him. Honestly it makes Remmy a bit sad, her name no longer bringing shivers up his spine, her eyes aren't as clear in his mind no more, everything is becoming blurry and for some reason it makes Remus feel guilty. The boy lets out a sigh as his thoughts go dark for a few moments before  mentally scolding and reminding himself of more important stuff to worry about, as this wasn't the only thing cluttering his mind...A lot has happened since then.

The last week of summer was very hectic, Sirius had another fallout with his parents which resulted in all of their moods being not so great. The first week of school wasn't that fun either, prefect duties and all the assignments weighting on Remus’ shoulders like two heavy buckets of water hanging from a wooden pole. The exhaustion made his mind boil so at the end of the first week of the new school year Remus Lupin was barely able to think. Hence why he the first thing that he did after finishing all his responsibilities on the cold Friday evening was head to his favorite corner in the library, far away from anyone's eyes. Well not like there was a lot of people here on a day like this in the first place but still. With a slight flicker of his wand he fills his corner with pillows and blankets and a never ending supply of chocolate and his favorite orange juice. Honestly it's kind of risky but he's on such good terms with the librarian that he is not worried at this point. He brings her cookies from the kitchen every time he visits so frankly he deserves some privilege. Remus makes himself comfortable in his cozy little spot pulling out the book he is currently reading from his backpack and just like that he lets himself get lost in the world portrayed on the pages, ever so often reaching out to grab a piece of chocolate or sip some of the juice, honestly it's perfect. Remus absolutely loves moments like this. It may seem like such a main character moment to some but honestly everyone needs those once in a while. He really feels like he is making memories. His eyes wander back to the black ink..

"And on that evening when we grow older still we'll speak about these two young men as though they were two strangers we met on the train and whom we admire and want to help along. And we'll want to call it envy, because to call it regret would break our hearts."

Remus Lupin is a very forgetful. He truly does forget a lot of things. Unintentionally. But Remus Lupin is also great at remembering. His mind can be empty at times but just a small trigger is enough to fill it with  memories, coming back to him like thousands of colors exploding and mixing, creating one shade, unique and special. There won't ever be a moment in time when this exact color appears again but it's okay because he can enjoy it for now. And just like a well seems empty at first when you gaze into the darkness, all you need is a small pebble to see how deep and full it actually is. That sentence is just like a little stone to Remus' mind, bringing up things that he thought he forgot about when in fact they were always there deep down below the surface of the water. And just like that sparks run down the boy's spine, making him shiver even under the layers of blankets and his mind becomes blurry for a second filling with thoughts like a meadow fills with fog on a chilly day of spring, making the air above, the dew covered grass, almost impossible to see through. And for a micro second Remus panics, worried that his is losing all the memories once again, but the fog seems way too familiar and so does the soft voice that reaches his ears. " Wow someone is really comfy over there" it's gentle and rather quiet but in a weird way very playful and confident, honestly it sounds like something Sirius would say but he knows damn well it's not his best friend. He lifts his gaze. "Hi Remmy." this one is way more shy and it's almost as if Remus can feel her cheeks become warm. "Hi there" he replies a bit embarrassed by how happy he sounds. "Long time no see" Dear Merlin the way her eyes sparkle makes his knees give out, it reminds him of that one night Sirius was teaching them about different constellations, bragging about how for obvious reasons he was named after the bringhtes of stars. Gosh her name should be Sirius. Remus furrows his brows at how weird what he just thought was. "Indeed. What brings you hear?" Great Rem why do you thing someone would be in a library huh? But then he hears her giggle and he is just a little less embarrassed. "Oh you know just looking for some eggs and flour. Felt like baking today." That gets a lough out of him " I know I know stupid question" he rolls his eyes at her. " Actually just looking for this one book my friend recommended me and you just happen to have good taste in alleys."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life is full of surprises. If 5 months ago someone told Remus that he would be sitting on a blanket near the Black lake, enjoying the sun warming up his skin, getting lost in one of his favorite books while watching the girl of his dreams collect flowers next to him, he would honestly think that person is out of their mind. But here they are and Remus has never been happier.

  “If I could have him like this in my dreams every night of my life, I'd stake my entire life on dreams and be done with the rest.”

"Remmy! Look!" The boy takes his eyes of the pages of the book instead focusing on the girl in front of him, quickly skipping steps, her hands outstretched in front of her, fingers gently holding on tiny blue wildflowers showing them off to her boyfriend. The smile spreading on her face was a sight for sore eyes and Remus couldn't help it when his lips turn into a grin too. "Wow they are gorgeous.. Forget-me-nots?" The girl hums as an answers and takes a sit in front of him "Blue because the soil's pH must be slightly alkaline." "How do you know that stuff?" Remus asks while playing with a strand of her hair but the girl just shrugs "Books." That makes the boy giggle "Books huh?" "Yes" [Y/N] rolls her eyes "Here now you look pretty" she adds as she places a few of the flowers behind his ear. Her hands linger in his hair for a moment before tracing down to his neck, fingers as cold as always yet this time all he feels when they make contact with his skin is the heat spreading all over his body, starting from his heart where thousands of sparks explode like fireworks on new years eve and ending at his mind where it's no longer blurry. Now everything is clear from the brightness. Aren't I always pretty? was what Rem initially wanted to say but instead he opted for "Your hands are always freezing.." "Oh? Sorr-" "In the most heartwarming way possible" And then the girl leans forward her soft lips colliding against Remmy's slightly dry ones and once again the sparks fill his body some would say he must be used to it by now. Never. Because every time it feels like the first and the last one, like he has never felt before but also like he could lose it at any second, like discovering happiness but also being afraid of  it disappearing any time and now Remmy doesn't need books to be his pebble because every time he sees her he is creating new unforgettable memories but the old ones are still there and so soon the well might overflow. " You're so corny Mr. Lupin" "And who's putting flowers in my hair and calling me pretty huh?" "Shut up Moony." Their laughter spreads in the warm spring air..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait wait so you're telling me he, Remus Moony Lupin aka Remmy the shy boy, the I could never make the first move guy kissed you in the library that day?" "Mhm" "And you're telling me about it just now?!" Sirius exclaims dramatically while throwing his arms up in the air. "Way to go Rem " James pats his friends back as Remmy only groans burying his face in [Y/N]'s shoulder. "Why are you even telling them about this for Merlin's sake??" He groans once again earning a giggle from the girl. "It was a dare and I'm no cheater" "No no no don't change the topic I need more details!" "Sirius let her be" Lily's soft voice sounds from beside James her legs thrown over her boyfriend's lap, it's the first time she's spoken in a while too focused on her book. "There is nothing more to say he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him for some time, I said yes, we talked for a good few hours and then he asked if he could kiss me and I mean I obviously said yes" "Awwwwe Remus you even asked her that's so freaking adorable" James laughs and holds his chest as if his heart was hurting from the cuteness. "Okay okay Remus truth or dare?!" "That's not how the game works" Lily scolds Sirius, who's basically screaming at this point, once again. "Shut it Evans. Moony?" "Ugh Truth." "Was there some tongue action???" "SIRIUS!" Lily and [Y/N] raise their voices at the same time as Remus groans once again covering his face with his hands. "What? I don't know what's your problem I'm just curious.." And just like that a heated argument full of laughter and teasing starts.

Life is full surprises but some things will always stay the same like Sirius always being the annoying git he is, Lily always being done with him. The train will probably always stay cold and the windows will always steam up from the hot air leaving their lungs. Her hands will always be cold, but it's okay, because everything is warm and clear now and Remus finally understands.

HELLO I was jw what were your favourite fics featuring POC Marauders without the shitty stereotyping 💜

Also thank you librarian for your content. Honestly this is the top tier rec blog in the fandom due to your amazing taste.

Well THIS is a great ask! It’s nice to see fans looking for authentic diversity in fics as opposed to tokenism. Just about all of these fics have been listed on various library lists, but hopefully people enjoying seeing them listed somewhere convenient. Also, this is just a VERY SMALL selection of fics featuring Remus or Sirius as POC, so if you’re looking for more of a certain representation, just send an ask!

Also, a note to authors looking to include representation (other than their own ethnicity) in their next fic: make sure that you read first hand experiences from multiple sources, research with advocacy groups, and THEN try reach out to a peer who can potentially beta/do a sensitivity read for you. It's important that we all try and learn as much as possible on our own before asking our peers to work as our educators. ❤️

POC Wolfstar

Black James & Cuban Sirius

Be My Baby by @remus-john-lupin It’s the summer of 1963, and 18 year old Remus Lupin discovers dance, love, and even himself. (A very romantic and very gay Dirty Dancing AU.)

Latino Remus

Forget-Me-Not by @halictus-writer

For someone who just woke up with amnesia and a bad concussion, Remus Lupin isn't too dispirited. He'll get through it with the help of his friends, taking it one day at a time, as Sirius says. The only (other) problem? There's something important that he's forgetting.

Retrial by phoenixgal

Remus Lupin, host of the popular podcast Retrial, decides to focus on the case of Sirius Black, a man convicted of murdering his high school best friend, for his upcoming season. Remus has gotten too close to his subjects in the past, so he promises himself that won't happen this time.

Desi Sirius

Young Hearts Intertwined by @goodboylupin

There’s a special kind of magic to a wartime wedding.

Latino Remus & Desi Sirius

A Lucky Mishap by softiejace Of course this would be just Remus’ luck - the library printer breaking when the deadline for his term paper is coming up. And to top it off, the pretty boy he’s been running into all week is there to witness his moment of misery… but maybe he can turn things around?

Sephardic Jewish Remus

Candles in the Darkness by @miraxb

In the winter of seventh year, James, Sirius, and Remus are all carrying their own burdens and fears for the growing darkness in their world. Together, they find comfort and light at the Hanukkah celebration in the Lupin household.

Half Syrian Remus

I Tried Writing Your Name In The Rain, But It Never Came, So I Used The Sun Instead by @prefectmoony

Don’t get Remus wrong. He loves his friends, he does! Loves them to the moon and back in fact. They’re his people, his favorite part of everyday, his found family. He’d do anything for them. But the thing is that doesn’t take away from the very simple fact that his friends are fucking ridiculous. Remus knows this, has known it for five years now. But it doesn’t stop him from startling awake on the morning of his sixteenth birthday surprised by the sound of fireworks exploding in their dormitory and a raucous chorus of “Happy birthday Moony!” being shouted into his ear with jaunty gusto.

Chinese Sirius

got a fascination (with your presentation) by @alifeincoffeespoons

When Remus thought of Oxford as a child, he envisioned turrets, laughter, and an unnameable, unforgettable magic. He did not envision vomiting his breakfast all over himself while standing in the halls of St. Catherine’s College.

Cut Your Bangs by @notmycatsname

"There’s something about him that catches Sirius’s eye. His voice is a little whiny, almost off-key. Sirius has heard it time and time again in the bands that Lily plays through their speakers at their apartment but it sounds more genuine, almost heart breaking, through his voice. Remus’s voice."

Black Remus, Desi Sirius & James

Palo Alto by NachoDiablo

Modern AU set in Silicon Valley. It's easy for Sirius to ignore his mixed-up feelings while he's got Remus all to himself, but when Remus starts dating again, Sirius is forced to figure things out before Remus moves on for good. Or before James and Peter strangle them both.

Japanese Remus and Taiwanese Sirius

kavaluan (means white lily here) by @claudiafekete 1926, Taiwan. Japanese empire's prized colony. Remus needed an interpreter. Sirius volunteered.

Philippino Sirius

Problems with Narrative Structure and the Rules of Manly Engagement [+Podfic] by @xinasvoice

"There were easily six hundred people living in the Paramount building in downtown San Francisco. That was a lot of neighbors to get to know, but it only took a single day of living there for Sirius to notice Remus."

Latino Remus & Japanese-American!Sirius

Discards by @picascribit​ When 21-year-old assistant librarian Sirius spots a cute hipster college student at the Seattle Public Library, he just needs to figure out a subtle way of determining whether he’s into guys. But Remus’s life is more complicated than Sirius knows.

Native American Sirius

Grimsfall by @remus-john-lupin

There is a legend in the old city of Grimsfall that a large, black creature used to emerge from the forest at night, and anyone who met its gaze would be driven to madness before the thing dragged them into the depths of hell.

Mexican Remus & Sirius

A Whole Queer County Fair by @bigblackdogfic Two queer Mexican kids talking, having sex, and feeling their feelings in Arizona.

Indigenous Australian Remus

Among The Gumtrees by WolfstarGarden Sirius inherits his uncle's farm, but finding the right farmhand isn't as simple as he'd hoped: Sirius just couldn’t help but wonder if fantasising about his straight farm assistant was maybe one boundary breach too far. On the other hand, perhaps Remus shouldn’t suck on the end of his pen while lost in thought.

South American Remus

The Delegate by @wanderingbandurria

It’s 1921, and Sirius Black is a sailor that wants to prove himself as a political agitator. He sets foot in a lost, forgotten port in South America, where he’s supposed to help with the local organization of syndicalists. He’s not expecting to meet a brown-eyed man who is there to help put his words into Spanish. A man that’s really not interested in anything but doing his job. Nothing more.

Thai Sirius

Whatever Words I Say -orphaned fic

When Remus Lupin is hired to control the antics of famous lead singer of the Marauders, Sirius Black, he knows he has his work cut out for him. Sirius is contrary and has absolutely no chill, and loves pissing off the press. Remus feels up to the challenge, but he certainly does not expect to fall head over heels in love from the moment he meets the charismatic singer.

Something Beautiful -orphaned fic When Remus Lupin’s ex talks him into a drunken tattoo mistake, he goes to his friend and co-worker Lily for help. Luckily her husand’s best mate is a tattoo artist who can help with the cover up. Unfortunately for Remus, the tattoo in in a rather compromising area, and he’ll have to get over his embarrassment. Luckily for him, Sirius Black is just the man for the job.

So many fics and yet so many more to go! As always, feel free to reblog with your own recs!
