Hey you, I'm here for Wolfstar raising harry recommendations 🤗

Hello!! I'm also going to tag @imsiriuslyreading because I know Lana was also looking for some recs!

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but these are some of my very favs:

Wolfstar Raising Harry

Ten Reasons (To Go To Michigan) by @greyeyedmonster-18 (I also love these two unrelated wolfstar raising harry microfics by the same author) — This is a Sirius raising Harry and meeting recently divorced Remus (who happens to be a writer) on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A must read! that's the art of getting by by sarewolf — Remus becomes Harry's guardian and they move to a muggle village in the middle of nowhere. Eventually, Sirius is freed and comes to stay with them, but can they get back what they once had? Honestly, majorly obsessed with this one, but watch out for the angst! Stealing Harry by copperbadge — In an alternate universe where Sirius Black never went to Azkaban, Harry divides his life between the Dursleys' house and Mr. Black's bookshop -- until Sirius realises what the Dursleys are doing to him, and takes him away from their care. This series is fucking amazing and actually spans several of the books!! Mr Mouse by TracingPatterns (which continues in their wolfstar raising harry series) — A lovely little piece in which a young Harry learns about grief.

Like Real People Do by third_crow (part of the coffee shop au series) — Sirius raising Harry, when he starts falling for local barista Remus Lupin. This is also a beautiful story about what it's like to live with epilepsy and I am extremely obsessed with this series. The Things I Did by Lolo_row — canon compliant, Remus gets custody of Harry and works to get Sirius out of Azkaban. A bit of angst, but tasty! the dogfather au by hollimichele — Harry was raised by his adoptive muggle family, when one day a big black dog shows up. His parents just thinks he's a stray, and Padfoot becomes the family pet (to keep an eye on Harry, and protect him from Voldemort). Eventually this morphs into Remus also coming into the picture.

Wolfstar Raising Teddy

the mayors of simpleton by @fruityindividual — Divorced wolfstar are co-parenting a very mischievious Teddy who is not about to let his dads stay divorced!! Honestly this fic is so funny, so heartfelt, so fucking lovely. It also features the most beautiful portrayal of a blind character that I ever seen. A must read! Of Memories and Milk Thievery by @mayescapade — Divorced wolfstar raising Teddy again! Wolfstar have been co-parents for years and they wont stop terrorizing/pranking one another. An Infinte Ocean by orphan_account — Single dad Remus. Remus Lupin knows two things--working and caring for his son, Teddy. When his babysitter sets up crowdfunding so Teddy can go swim with the sea turtles at the local animal rescue, Remus doesn't realise how completely their life is going to change. Especially when he meets Sirius Black, the weekend merman in the aquatic show, and someone who might convince him of love at first sight. Honestly a lovely piece, and it also features the Potter clan.

Other (raising both teddy and harry, wolfstar girldads)

Let's Play Pretend by MsAlexWP — My current obsession!! I can't tell you how many times I've read this. Single parent Remus and single parent Sirius meet at a play date and end up pretend dating so that the old women in Sirius' building (who basically stalk him) will stop trying to set him up. Neither of them can date at the moment, so what could possibly go wrong?? Ultimate comfort fic. Of Quiet Hearts And Thundering Dreams by TracingPatterns — This is single parent Sirius and single parent Remus, both having moved to a small village and meeting at Harry & Teddy's school. A Cup of Sugar by MsAlexWP — Again, they are both single parents. Harry Potter is recovering from surgery and facing the worst summer ever until a guy with the same crutches as Harry moves in across the street with his son. So lovely!! Hide-and-Seek by onehundredflamingos — Wolfstar girldads raising their adoptive daughter Cassie, who is also a werewolf. This is the story of her first transformation. It's soooo sweet! @industrations has done a bunch of wolfstar and Cassie art, which you should absolutely go and cry over!

For supplementary material, feel free to check out my Wolfstar Raising Harry, Wolfstar Raising Teddy and Wolfstar Girldads tags!

the twin conundrum

I wrote this in like 20 minutes and it’s all @battlehamster‘s fault.

----

“Remus.” Regulus’s head appears in the fireplace, making Remus jump. “I need you over at the Manor. Quickly, please.”

Remus doesn’t hesitate, grabbing his cloak and his wand and hurrying through the Floo after Regulus. Sirius is supposed to be picking up Teddy from the Manor right now. James and Regulus had agreed to watch their boy for the day while Sirius worked a shift at St. Mungo’s and Remus put together his lesson plans for the coming semester. If Regulus is calling him now, then something has gone horribly wrong.

Not to mention the fact that Regulus never calls him by his given name. He’s always Lupin to his brother-in-law.

James is there to greet him when he comes stumbling through the fireplace, offering him a hand to steady him. Remus glances around the room, and warm relief rushes through him when he spots Sirius on the couch. Sirius gives him a tiny smile, but it doesn’t reach his eyes.

“What’s going on?” Remus demands. “What’s happened?”

It’s then that he notices that Regulus is holding Harry… and so is Sirius.

Remus blinks several times. No, his eyes are not playing tricks on him. There are two Harrys in the room, and not a sign of Teddy.

Oh, dear.

“I see,” he says. “Teddy, change back, please.”

He addresses the child in Sirius’s arms, who protests, “But I’m Harry!”

“Yeah!” says the child that Regulus holds. “Me, too!”

Remus pinches the bridge of his nose. “Boys, this isn’t funny. It’s time for Teddy to go home. He’ll be back here at the weekend, you know that.”

Both Harrys look puzzled. Regulus and Sirius both appear faintly annoyed, but James seems to be on the verge of tears.

“I need some tea,” Remus declares, “and then we can settle this properly. James, give me a hand?”

He forcibly steers James into the kitchen and props him against the countertop. “Right, what’s wrong?”

“I can’t tell them apart,” James says in a rush. “I’m his dad, I love him more than anything, and I can’t tell you which of those boys is my son!”

“Neither can Sirius or Regulus, and they love Harry and Teddy just as much,” Remus soothes, squeezing James’s arms. “You brought me here to sniff out which was which, yeah?”

“That was the idea.” James rubs the back of his hand under his nose. “Can you do it?”

“Yes, of course.”

They return to the sitting room. Remus plucks the child from Sirius’s arms and gives him a good sniff--the toddler giggles as Remus inadvertently tickles him. Remus does the same for the child in Regulus’s arms, and then wrinkles his nose.

“What on Earth did you have them doing today?” he demands of James and Regulus. “They both reek.”

James flushes, and even Regulus looks a bit sheepish. “Er… we might have gone flying. And gone to the park. And jumped in some mud puddles.”

“That’s what I thought,” Remus says, exasperated. “I can’t tell the two of them apart when they’re like this. They’ll both need to be bathed before I can figure it out.”

James holds out his arms for one of the Harrys, and Sirius hands him over. “Right. We’ll get these two menaces cleaned up. Back soon!”

He and Regulus hurry off with the boys. Sirius gets up from the couch and comes over to Remus.

“You know which one is Teddy, don’t you?” he says.

“Oh, yeah. James was holding him.” Remus shrugs. “This means we don’t have to do bath time tonight.”

Sirius grins. “You sneaky bastard.”

“That’s why you love me.”

“Why does Teddy wear dresses?”

(Word count 584)

Regulus was sitting on the couch with his feet in James’s lap, a worn book in his hands. He heard the pitter patter of little feet down the stairs mixed with the pitter patter of the rain. Harry didn’t come closer though. Regulus knew sometimes when he had something on his mind, he tended to be more shy, unlike the normal energetic little six year old he loved. James and Regulus made eye contact, both knowing they could wait and Harry would come when he was ready. Regulus flipped through a few more pages before the pitter patter got louder.

“Papa?” he heard a little voice hesitantly ask. “Hey Mon Chérie, what’s up?” Regulus asked as Harry came around the. “Do you know that today Teddy wore a dress? And I know that Mrs. Loveheart told us that boys can wear dresses too but Teddy was wearing shoes with a little bit of a block underneath his foot and he was wearing sparkly glitter on his eyes and yesterday he was wearing a pair of shorts and a Cars shirt and-” “Mon ange slow down sweetheart” Regulus interrupted Harry and reached out a hand to rub his back, soothing his anxious ramble.

“Papa is Teddy a boy or a girl?” Harry finally asked, getting out what was eating away at him inside. Regulus took a deep breath and made eye contact with James, before moving his legs off of James’s lap and patting the space on the couch he made for Harry. Regulus looped his arm around Harry’s shoulder so Harry could snuggle into his chest. “Remember how your Dadda and I have told you that when I was a little kiddo just like you I realized that I was born into the body of a girl but I really felt like a boy?” Regulus asked as Harry nodded his head. “Well, Teddy is genderfluid. That means Teddy was born into a boy’s body, but sometimes doesn’t feel like a boy. Some days Teddy feels like a girl, some days Teddy feels like a boy, and some days Teddy doesn’t feel like a boy or girl at all. Does that make sense?” Harry nodded, and then asked “But how do I know when Teddy is a boy or a girl?”

Regulus responded with, “Well I like it when you say I love Papa, he is the best. Not “she” or “they.” But, Teddy’s preference for how you talk about them depends on the day, so you can just ask them when you see them. Does that make sense?” Harry nodded and then climbed out of Regulus’s lap, grabbing his hand and looking at James saying, “Yeah it’s just like how he can change his hair with his feelings. Can we get some ice cream now?” James met Regulus’s eyes and they shared a giggle that they both turned into a cough before saying, “Sure kiddo, go get some shoes and then we can go.”

Mon Cherie-my dear

Mon ange-my angel

Thank you to @my-castles-crumbling for looking this over!

written with @wolfstarmicrofic prompt: scallywag

“Drat the scallywag!” Harry cried, the black tie wrapped around his head swinging in front his eye as he brandished his toy wand like a sword, “Send him to the plank!”

“No!” Sirius gasped, falling to his knees on the L-shaped sofa. “Not the plank!”

“You heard the captain,” Remus growled, using his wand to prod his husband across the bend of the sofa.

Resigned to his fate, Sirius hopped onto the arm of the sofa, swallowing heavily when he reached the edge.

Running across the floor of the living room with his hands clasped over his head like a fin, was Teddy. His hair alternatively flashed from white to blue, and his teeth looked unnaturally pointed.

Sirius turned to Remus, eyes shining with silent imploration. Please don’t do this to me.

Remus grinned. Oh honey. He pushed his husband, thrashing and wailing, off the side of the ship and into the shark-infested waters below.

Teddy, storming in & addressing Sirius: Dad, I'm not talking to your husband ever again!

Remus, walking in after T: Ted, I said I was sorry, c'mon don't you think you're overreacting a bit.

Teddy, storming out: Don't talk to me, Remus.

Remus: Hey.

Sirius: Oh, dear husband, what ever did you do?

It Would Have Been Enough

The promised Passover fic is finished and posted before the end of the holiday! Chag samech, everyone <3

Snippet:

"You can open the door, Harry," Sirius said, his voice muffled by Remus's shoulder. Harry shook his head at them and went to open the door. Remus released Sirius with a soft kiss to his forehead and they turned around to see Alphard grinning at them.

“Don’t let me interrupt…I just come bearing brisket,” he said with a wink.

Sirius raised his eyebrow at his uncle. “You’re early.”

“Never let it be said that I run on Jewish time, hintele ,” he said, kissing Sirius’s cheek.

Andromeda, Dora and Ted showed up a bit later, as Teddy was regaling Alphard and Levi with songs he learned in school. She came bustling into the kitchen with a covered pyrex dish. “Hello, hello. Thank you for having us,” she said. “You know I would have had everything ready on time,” she said with a grin and a wink.

“Yes, maybe. But it’s our turn and we’re doing it our way,” Sirius said, rising to the bait.

“Alright, you two…” Alphard said, waving them away good-naturedly.

“Whatever, Uncle,” Andromeda said.

“We’re glad you all are here,” Sirius said, taking the wine glasses out to the table.

They sat down and Teddy passed around the kid friendly coloring book style Haggadahs they’d gotten from his school. Remus flipped to the first page. “Shall we start?”

soooo can someone explain to me WHY the fuck did we kept Ted as wolfstar’s kid’s name bc I like it’s a really cute name but it doesn’t makes sense to me

bc ok Harry as jegulus or even rosestarkillerchaser kid awesome and the name Harry as nothing specific to do w/ lily so it’s alright and it’s cute

luna as pandalily same nothing special to Xenophilius….. I think, tell me if I’m wrong tho

so why did the whole fandom decided to keep Ted as his name like it’s literally Tonk’s dad’s name so why !! bc if he’s wolfstar’s and tonk isn’t in the picture….????? It does not make sense to me !!!!

#wolfstar #jude’ talking #jude’ questioning his life instead of studying #jegulus #jegulus raising harry #wolfstar raising teddy #pandalily #luna lovegood #rosestarkillerchaser #jude wasn’t studying even tho they have final exams next week

definitely not a sirius black festival fic

I was challenged by someone on here (who shall not be named) to write a Wolfstar Dads fic (for an unofficial festival that is definitely not happening) about Sirius and Remus being two single dads at a school carnival.

This fic.... did not cooperate and is definitely not that.

Contains: Grief/mourning/loss, long-term illness, second love, blended families, discussions of adoption, two people being very much in love but also still dealing with lots of trauma, cute children.

---

Remus, despite his initial misgivings, decides that they can call the school carnival a resounding success. Harry and Teddy have the time of their lives, running from booth to booth and playing every single game, emerging with more prizes than Sirius and Remus know how to carry (good thing they’re both wizards, though they have to be careful to ration out their shrinking charms so as not to attract attention.) Each boy eats his fill of sweets and then some, and they both fall asleep in the car on the way home.

Sirius carries Harry to bed, and Remus does the same for Teddy. Harry must be out cold, because Remus doesn’t hear any conversation from Harry’s room, and soon he hears Sirius pad back downstairs to clean the kitchen.

Teddy, however, stirs as soon as Remus settles him in his bed. Since he’s awake now, Remus coaxes him out of his clothes and into some pajamas, and then performs a mouth cleaning charm on him before tucking him in.

“Do you want a story?” Both boys are old enough to read, of course, but they still love being read to, especially at night.

Teddy shakes his head. He looks a little morose, but maybe that’s him coming down from his sugar high.

“What’s wrong, Teddy Bear?”

To his surprise, Teddy pushes back the blankets so he can crawl into Remus’s lap. It’s been a couple of years since he’s tried to curl up in Remus’s lap like this, and he’s a good deal taller now--just like Gideon, Remus thinks with fondness. He wraps his arms around Teddy, holding him close, and waits.

Teddy leans his head against Remus’s chest and says, “I don’t want Daddy to be mad at me.”

“Mad at you…” Remus trails off, a lump forming in his throat. Sometimes, Gideon’s loss is a dull ache behind his breastbone. Other times, it’s a sharp pain in his gut and a vise around his lungs. “Of course he isn’t. Why would Daddy be mad at you?”

Teddy fiddles with the hem of Remus’s jumper. “Padfoot is Harry’s dad now.”

“Yes, he is.” Sirius has essentially been Harry’s father since he was a year old, but they only went through the adoption process last month.

Teddy bunches Remus’s jumper in his hands. “If I wanted Padfoot to be my dad too, would Daddy be mad?”

“Oh, sweetheart.” Remus bundles Teddy close, presses his nose to the russet curls he got from Gideon. “No, of course Daddy wouldn’t be mad. He could never be mad at you, and especially not for this.”

“Really?”

“You know how I was married to Daddy?” Remus says. “He was my husband, and now Sirius is my husband. I love Daddy, and I love Sirius. Both of these things can be true. We’ve talked about this, remember?”

Teddy nods morosely.

“Well,” Remus says, rubbing Teddy’s back as he speaks, “you have Daddy, and you have me, and you can have Sirius as well. You know how Harry has Daddy James and Mummy Lily? And now he has Padfoot, too? It’s like that.”

“I miss Daddy,” Teddy whispers.

“I know, baby. I miss him, too. Every day.” Remus continues to rub circles into Teddy’s back. “Do you want to tell him about this when we visit him tomorrow?”

Teddy nods.

“Okay, we’ll do that,” Remus says. “You can tell him about the carnival, too, and show him your prizes.”

Appeased, Teddy finally settles and falls asleep. Remus tucks him in again and kisses his forehead. He thinks it’s both a blessing and a tragedy that Teddy looks so much like Gideon. A blessing, mostly--even when Gideon is no longer with them, Remus never wants to stop looking at his face. At least he won’t lose that.

---

Sirius is sitting on the bed with his long legs stretched out in front of him and crossed at the ankles. His reading glasses are low on his nose as he peers down at the crossword he holds in one hand, a pen in the other. He looks up when Remus comes in.

“You were a while. Teddy okay?”

“He’s just missing Gid,” Remus says, and Sirius’s mouth turns down in sympathy. “I think tomorrow’s visit is going to be hard.”

“How about we do takeaway tomorrow night from that Thai place he likes? So he can come home to some comfort food after.”

Remus crawls into bed, heedless of his day clothes, and Sirius wraps him in his arms, crossword abandoned. “That sounds wonderful.”

“And you, too.”

“I don’t need the comforting.”

“Of course you do.” Sirius kisses his forehead. “He’s still your husband.”

Sometimes Remus envies Sirius and Harry--at least James and Lily are truly gone. There were actual bodies to bury and graves to visit. James and Lily don’t haunt the two of them the way that Gideon haunts Remus and Teddy, a living ghost.

He doesn’t know what he would have done without Sirius. They’d met in the middle of the night at a Tesco’s, of all places, each of them bleary-eyed and carrying their own screaming toddler. There were only two bottles of children’s cold medicine left on the shelf that night, and they each had taken one and the rest had been history. They’d bonded at first over the difficulties of single parenthood, and then friendship had gradually bloomed into love.

He’s so lucky to have found love with not one, but two wonderful men, and to now have two beautiful children. It’s taken him years--and a lot of therapy--to get to the point where he can love the life he has now, and not lose himself to the crushing voice in the back of his head that tells him the life he has now is one that came at the expense of Gideon.

Sirius tweaks one of his curls. “Alright?”

Remus hums, tilting his head up for a kiss. “I love you.”

Sirius’s grin is as bright and happy as the day they first said those words to each other. “I love you more.”

---

Gideon’s private room in the spell damage ward has been furnished so that it’s almost possible to forget they’re in a hospital. He sleeps in his childhood bed from the room he once shared with Fabian, the bookcase by the window came from his mother’s house, and his sister Molly knit all the blankets in the room. The walls are covered in photographs, as well as drawings from his niece, nephews, and Teddy.

Gideon is sitting in an armchair, staring out the window. He responds to sound sometimes, and his head turns as the door opens and the two of them come into the room.

“Hello, love.” Remus bends to brush a kiss over Gideon’s cheekbone, breathing in the scent of his skin, stale sweat, and antiseptic. Objectively, he knows Gideon’s appearance has changed drastically since the attack, that his skin is sallow and his bright red hair has faded, but he still thinks Gideon is as handsome as the day they married. “Come over to the bed, yeah? Teddy’s here to see you.”

He squeezes Gideon’s hand, and Gideon allows himself to be pulled out of the armchair and steered over to the bed. Teddy clambers up next to him.

“Hi, Daddy,” he says. “Da and Padfoot took us to the carnival at school yesterday, and I played so many games, and I even beat Harry, and look, I won all these prizes--”

Teddy chatters at Gideon for half an hour while Gideon stares vacantly at the wall opposite. At one point during the conversation, Gideon reaches out to touch Teddy’s head, and Remus swears he sees a spark of something behind his eyes. But then it fades, and Gideon drops his hand.

Eventually, Teddy works up to what he wants to say. He chews on his bottom lip for a moment, takes a deep breath, and says, “Daddy, I know you’re my dad, but… I think I want Padfoot to be my dad, too. And I hope you won’t be mad or sad or anything, because I’ll still love you forever.”

Remus has to go over to the bookshelf and pretend to examine the titles there so that he can discreetly wipe his eyes. He returns to the bedside and sits next to Teddy, reaching out to rest his hand on Gideon’s leg.

“You’ll still legally be his dad,” he reassures, as wizarding law allows for multiple parents to be listed on a birth certificate, and for multiple parents to adopt a child. “We would just be adding Sirius.”

“That way I’ll have three dads,” Teddy says happily. “And that’s more than everyone else! Well, except for Harry.”

Gideon doesn’t react to their words. He never does, not in a way that shows he understands what they’re saying. Remus doesn’t know if Gideon even realizes there are two people in the room with him.

When it’s time to leave, Remus bends down to wrap Gideon in a gentle hug. Gideon doesn’t hug back, of course, but Remus thinks he does relax fractionally.

“Sirius will be here to visit you next week, because it’s the full moon,” he says. “He’s got loads of Ministry gossip to fill you in on. We’ll be back the week after that, okay?”

He kisses Gideon on the cheek. “Love you forever, babe.”

---

As promised, Sirius has Teddy’s favorite meal laid out when they get home from St. Mungo’s. He and Remus let the boys eat in front of the television, an exception to their usual rule, and after dinner Harry goes outside to practice some new maneuvers on his broom that he read about in one of his Quidditch magazines. Instead of joining him, Teddy lingers in the room.

“Padfoot,” Teddy says, “I have an important question for you.”

Sirius raises an eyebrow. “An important question? Well, I think that calls for some hot chocolate, don’t you?”

“All important questions do,” Remus says, and the three of them go to sit in the kitchen. Once they all have steaming mugs in front of them, Teddy folds his hands on the table and regards Sirius with a solemn expression on his face.

“Padfoot,” he says again, and then stops, looking suddenly nervous. Remus squeezes his arm.

“Take your time, baby,” he says softly. “It’s okay.”

Teddy takes another deep breath, and then he says quickly, “Would you please adopt me?”

“Adopt you?” Sirius repeats, stunned. His eyes flick to Remus, and Remus gives him a tiny nod. “Are you sure, Teds?”

“Yes,” Teddy says firmly. “I want you to be my dad like you’re Harry’s dad.”

“We told Daddy about it today,” Remus says.

“I said I would still love him forever,” Teddy puts in.

“Of course you will,” Sirius says thickly. “Yeah, baby. I’ll adopt you, if that’s what you really want.”

“It is,” Teddy says. “Is it okay if I still call you Padfoot, though?”

“Teddy, you can call me whatever you want.” Sirius wipes his cheeks with his sleeve. “Can I have a hug?”

Teddy gets up and all but throws himself into Sirius’s arms, hugging him tightly. Sirius buries his face in Teddy’s hair and tries not to ugly sob--Remus can tell when he’s restraining himself. Eventually, Teddy extracts himself and exclaims that he’s got to tell Harry, and he’s out the back door like a shot. Sirius does sob then, and Remus is there to gather him in his arms.

“We’ve got good kids,” he says.

“We really do, Moons,” Sirius says wetly. “The best.”
