FLATMATES (part 2)
Two years ago today I made my flatmates rec list, which is my favourite list ever. I never get tired of this trope. So, since it is once again my birthday, here are some lovely additions!
losing my mind, thinking about you, by drowsyanddazed (16k)
The black kohl along his water line is smudged, black flecks of it dusting his cheekbone. His hair is still flying everywhere, whipping across his face. He’s a mess. He’s the blurred edges of a photograph. He’s a heartbeat and stinging lungs. He’s the rattling behind Remus’ ribcage. And Sirius grins at him, tongue between teeth —illecebrous and tantalising and all things beautiful and dangerous— and all the air rushes out of Remus’ lungs in one fell swoop. He’s lightheaded and dizzy and burning.
An absolute gem, this one. In which the first wizarding war is on the rise, but the boys are flatmates and they go grocery shopping!! The jealousy and pining is perfect.
Heat the Winter Floods + A Little Sincerity Is a Dangerous Thing, by daphnaea (6k)
(Two parts)
It was funny, Sirius thought, the things you could fail to learn about your best mate despite sharing a dormitory for seven years.
A story of pining for you flatmate, in two parts. Set during the first war, it’s slightly angsty but oh so lovely and well-written.
Seeing Other People, by swings_and_roundabouts (21k)
Where Sirius is hopelessly in love with Remus Lupin who is always just a little out of reach. But their friends with benefits situation isn't sustainable, Remus is so close yet so far away and Sirius doesn't know if he can take it anymore.
Once again, they live together and are friends with benefits. Lots of pining, jealousy and idiocy follows, as well as a sort of “break-up”. This is quite angsty, very much a “requited unrequited love” kind of fic (which I LOVE).
Friends Don't, by shadow_prince (2k)
That didn’t stop him from glancing over the top of the paper to where he stood at the edge of the hallway. He was frozen in the way you froze just before you kicked off the ground on your broom. Right before a runner pushed off the block. Right before you dove off a cliff into the sea. Frozen with the promise of movement about to burst forth.
Sirius watched him, holding his breath.
“You’re lying.”
Short and sweet, less angst and more fluff!
the son and heir of nothing in particular, by @steelycunt (24k)
Remus is nineteen and tired, now. And he knows that if he and Sirius were ever going to become anything—if Sirius loved Remus the way Remus loves, and will probably always love, him—it already would’ve happened.
Another fic that proves that this trope is the absolute best. In which Remus is a stubborn prick (we love him) who refuses to move in with Sirius — but in the end he has no choice. There’s arguing, hurt feelings, and a stupid amount of pining. And, let’s now forget, the writing is out of this world lovely. Ridi’s characterisation of Remus is to die for. A must read!
Don't Make Me Beg For You (Because I'll Beg For You), by CuriousMay (14k)
“What?”
"You know, Rita Schaffer? She was that 4th year who had that incident with Bleatchley's Beauty Bleach in '75 just after our exams and Madam Pomfrey had to regrow all her hair-" Remus starts as he puts down the tomato but Sirius cuts him off with a sharp wave of his hand.
"No, not that, you idiot. The other bit. You said - you said you're in love with me?"
This fic was so much fun! In which Remus thinks that everyone, including Sirius, knows that he’s in love with him. Turns out: Sirius didn’t know. Some big realisations, pining and lots of sexual tension ensue.
Practical Oddities, by lurikko (48k)
Regulus needs a place to stay, Remus needs to get over Sirius. It’s August 1979 and things are getting out of hands.
In which Remus lives on Sirius’ sofa. That is, until Regulus shows up. Slow burn and beautiful pining in a First War setting. Lovely!
stars by the pocketful, by simplyylupin (16k)
But Sirius, Sirius is winter. He’s the cold mornings that startle you awake the instant you step outside. He’s the intricate snowflakes, the blunt shards of ice. He’s the holiday cheer, the twinkling lights and dainty decorations. He’s Aurora Borealis twisting around blinking stars. Remus always feels like he’s dying during winter. And if that isn’t the most ironic thing.
A wintery muggle au 5+1 fic full of not so subtle mutual pining. Very very cute!
Hic sunt dracones, by aryastark_valarmorghulis (5k)
Remus and Sirius try putting on makeup and end up trying a lot more: sex, kissing, and maybe even talking about feelings.
Well-written and spicy🌶️ Also very sweet! Poor Remus is pining like mad, and then he has to live through Sirius putting makeup on him? Torture☺️
I've sat upon the setting sun, by fiddleleafedfig (4k)
Sirius could see the swoop of long eyelashes that lined the brown eyes, still glued to the notebook in front of him. And as those sunrays danced, Sirius felt something heavy hit the pit of his stomach, simultaneously lodging itself in his throat.
A short story of falling in love over the years. They don’t live together in the beginning, but they do later on. Sweet fluff!

Hi! I am looking for pining fics where Sirius or Remus are dating/hooking up with other people and the other has to sadly and quietly pine (but they eventually get together).
Especially if it is at hogwarts and maybe the other person sees or hears something they wish they hadn’t? Non-hogwarts also welcome! Love me some pining and miscommunication that gets worked out!
Hi love🌸 Here’s my best try! If I remember correctly, all of the Hogwarts ones include some sort of scene where Sirius walks in on Remus and someone else (;
Hogwarts era:
Befriending A Ravenclaw, by kreestar (55k)
Remus is a Ravenclaw Prefect and Sirius is finding it harder and harder to admit he isn't obsessed with him.
In which Sirius thinks he’s straight (surprise, he’s not), and gets very confused (read: jealous) when Remus gets a boyfriend. Slow burn pining on all sides — it’s bloody wonderful!
Casanova of Gryffindor Tower, by Moonystar_394 (16k)
In sixth year, Sirius Black had two major realizations.
First and foremost, Sirius was utterly, irrevocably and in an almost excruciatingly embarrassing way head over heels for his best friend.
Secondly, his best friend was kind of a slut.
In which everyone’s in love with Remus (as they should be), Remus is oblivious, and Sirius gets veeeery sexually frustrated. I love it!
Falling Into Place, by GreenEyedGoddess (6k)
There's always been something special about Remus Lupin, even if it's taken Sirius Black until his seventh year to realize it. Too bad he spends so much time agonizing over his changing feelings that he loses his chance. In which Remus acts like an idiot, Marlene is the snarky voice of reason, James is a mother hen, Peter is confused, and Sirius is seriously jealous.
They are so stupid!!! (I love them). In which r and s kiss, but then they completely fail to communicate afterwards. Can they talk to each other? no no no! Instead Remus starts dating Dirk Cresswell (because of a misunderstanding, ofc). Much jealousy and pining ensues.
Just Like Best Friends Do, by MsAlexWP (4k)
After uselessly pining for three years Remus decides, finally, to get Sirius out of his system by shagging as many blokes as he can. It doesn’t go quite as planned.
So much stupidity and miscommunication in one little fic! Jealous!sirius, oblivious!remus, and lots of mutual pining. #clown-to-clown-communication. Also, Remus is really hot (;
Non-hogwarts:
talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, by beep348 (20k)
Remus and Sirius are in the same literature seminar at university and while Remus is great at reading books he is very bad at reading people.
Ok so this is a muggle!au and I know I’ve recced this before. But it’s so good so here we go again! If you haven’t read this already, you definitely should!!! In which Remus is under the impression that Sirius is dating Mary. Things get complicated. Misunderstanding deluxe! It’s so so so lovely and well-written! Lots of pining and jealousy, a beautiful slow burn (for 20k).

Happy birthday remu!
My favourite little man of all. To celebrate, here are some lovely fics with some very special remus characterisations!
Berlin Angel,
by de_sire (90k)
Berlin is absolutely miserable in February. Or it’s just Sirius.
Alternatively: A story of how Remus Lupin stepped into Sirius’ life, flashed his trademark grin, and reminded him that life is a beautiful thing meant to be enjoyed. No risk, no fun!
A muggle!au, slow burn strangers to lovers (Sirius is so stupidly oblivious!! I love it!!). Remus is literally sunshine in a person. A very different take on Remus, and I love him so very much!
take a shot of holy water,
by pinkpalaceapartments (73k)
a year after cutting ties with his family and taking steps to improve his life after coming to terms with his role in the tragic death of his best friend, sirius black reconnects with his past at an engagement dinner for a friend he thought he’d lost and the family he’d left behind. there he meets a priest named remus lupin, who is about to change the course of his life forever.
A fleabag au. Remus is the hot priest. *gulp*
Rourke,
by sreka (27k)
When wildlife filmmaker Sirius Black arrives on a remote Antarctic island for a year-long assignment, he isn't phased by the freezing wind, the perpetual darkness, or the hostility he meets from some of the biologists at the research base. He is used to living an itinerant existence. He is comfortable with unforgiving conditions. He expects the world to treat him harshly. But he does not expect to fall in love.
A wonderful muggle au that gives us scientist!remus. Let’s say he’s not the biggest fan of people. (I feel you darling)
A Brief History of Dragons,
by eyra (23k)
Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.
A very special remus that holds a permanent spot in my heart. He is everything.
from white-hot anticipation to cold-blooded fear and back again,
by drowsyanddazed (20k)
Remus is a storm blowing through Sirius’ small town and Sirius is laid out on the waterlogged cobblestone streets waiting to be washed away.
A Hogwarts era fic in which Remus is a confident Ravenclaw. He’s got rizz, as the TikTok people say. Sirius, naturally, doesn’t stand a chance.
Tidal Pull,
by Deya (10k)
Sirius sees a handsome stranger picking along the mud of the Thames foreshore and he needs to know more. He encounters Remus Lupin a man obsessed with the history buried in the London mud. Together they share moments and small treasures and grow together.
A beautiful fic in which Remus is mudlarking nerd. We love him.
Fine Motor Skills,
by femme_de_lettres (6k)
Sirius Black's car needs work—again. Meanwhile, Remus Lupin is amused to see his favorite customer back at his mechanic's shop.
A meet-cute in which Sirius owns a book shop and Remus is the mechanic—how the tables have turned! Adorable.
Happy holiday to all those who celebrate today<3

Hi! Could you rec some fics where at the beginning remus is in a relationship with somone else? Sorry if you've already answered something similar to this 😅
Hi anon🌸 Thank you for this lovely request! I just wanna clarify: Remus might not be in a relationship in the beginning of each of these fics — but at some point he’s dating someone else. Sirius is not happy.
Happy birthday, you.,by WrappedUp (66k)
Sirius Black is about to turn thirty. But, like, it’s not a whole thing. It’s fine. And he’s absolutely not going to have a meltdown, fall in love with his oldest friend, and sabotage his own happiness.
He’s absolutely not.
General themes: muggle!au; slow burn; oblivious!sirius; jealous sirius; pining; hurt/comfort; happy ending; Remus/OC.
lover, you should've come over, by dykesiriusblack (105k)
Sirius Black is a mess.
Remus Lupin is new.
It's all quite complicated.
or
The story of Remus and Sirius meeting at age 20, falling in love without meaning to, and not knowing how the fuck to deal with it for far too long.
General themes: muggle!au; ANGST!!!; themes of depression and anxiety (read the tags carefully!); slow burn; friends with benefits; happy ending; beautiful prose; Remus/OC.
a sawn off shotgun, by dykesiriusblack (14k)
But the stage lights blur out the crowd and Sirius gets to his knees in front of Remus with their guitar and bass between them, and he does it again in their hotel room, has been doing it since their first tour, has been wanting to do it since he first learned about wanting, the kind that ruins you.
a band, a tour, and the kind of undefined relationship that drives you insane.
General themes: band!au; friends with benefits; jealous!sirius; beautiful prose; Remus/OC (it’s a fake relationship tho)
Befriending A Ravenclaw, by kreestar (55k)
Sirius has made a point to never learn the names of anyone in other Houses. There was no need to, in his astute opinion. Everyone who was not in Gryffindor must lack some intrinsic qualities which would therefore make them utterly intolerable as companions. And the Marauders - all three of them - did not need any intolerable fourths, thank you very much.
i.e, Remus is a Ravenclaw Prefect and Sirius is finding it harder and harder to admit he isn't obsessed with him.
General themes: Hogwarts era; canon divergence; Ravenclaw!Remus; oblivious!Sirius; jealous!Sirius; Remus/OC.
A Bird At Your Door, by moongoblin (32k)
Of pub quizzes, old films, Chinese takeaways, broken arms, and impassioned discussions of literature: Remus is confusing, and Sirius is just trying to figure him out.
General themes: muggle!su; uni!au; slow burn; pining; jealous!sirius; light angst; happy ending; Remus/Gilderoy Lockhart (briefly).
Paper Walls, by Kember (66k)
Have you ever lived with a person you just can’t stand? Everything about them rubs you the wrong way, and yet, you can’t help thinking what it would be like to kiss them… Yeah, welcome to the life of Remus Lupin. He just wants to keep his head down, crack on with his studies, and maybe graduate at some point in the future. But his juvenile crush on his arrogant, impulsive, reckless housemate, Sirius Black, is going to be a major bump in that perfect road.
General themes: muggle!au; university!au; flatmates; light enemies to lovers; Remus/Mary (only temporarily ofc).
Enjoy! (Also, hi! I haven’t disappeared I promise)

NATURE THEMED RECS🌿
Summer’s here, but I’m poor and stuck in the city. So, I wanna rec some fics that make me feel….nature-y. You know what I mean, now let’s go!
Beneath a Big Blue Sky, by eyra (69k)
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.
Eyra needs to be put first on this list, cause they’re most definitely the king of the nature-vibe. Always beautiful descriptions of nature, always. Go read everything they’ve written! You will fall in love with Yorkshire, trust me.
the private kind of purple, by greenscape (6k)
Post-grad summer. They are reaching for things they cannot name.
Or, it's four days out of Hogwarts and Sirius and Remus go wild camping in Scotland.
Beautifully written and slightly angsty—a perfect read for a rainy summer’s day!
How Fragile We Are, Between the Few Good Moments, by emergencymanagement (24k)
By the time it’s dark, there’s a fire crackling before them. The tent is set up. There are two chairs propped up by the fire. They have cooked and eaten dinner, and they are sitting in silence. It reminds Sirius of the dinners at home after he got sorted into Gryffindor, or after his mother found the letters from his friends, or lately, whenever he dares to show his face around the house at all. What lives in that space isn’t actually silence. Silence is absence. This thing that hangs between him and his mother, now between him and Remus, is the presence of something suffocating and cutting. It doesn’t serve as a placeholder for noise, it serves as a punishment. It cleaves him to the bone, flays him until he wants to cry. The soft, knotting feeling in his chest he feels when he wants to let tears out but can’t is rising in him. Sirius doesn’t know how to kill it except to hiss, “Well if you’re mad at me just fucking say so.”
Oh I love this so much!! It’s post-The Prank, and it’s done beautifully. It’s angsty, Remus is angry and the first war is coming ever closer. Also, it’s wonderfully written, making the Welsh nature feel almost dreamlike. It’s beautiful!
Highland Fling [+podfic], by picascribit (38k)
2004: The summer before college, Sirius goes backpacking through Scotland in order to escape his family's expectations. In a small village in the Highlands, an unexpected flirtation turns his whole world upside down. Alternately, the story of how Scotland loves Remus and wants him to be happy.
I read this a loooong time ago, but I still remember how this fic made me wanna visit the Scottish highlands. I also remember that this was a bit too smutty for me back then….perhaps it’s time for a reread.
Harmonicas, Hinky-punks, and Heather, by mblematic (24k)
Sirius and Remus get stranded in Scotland on Order business, and decide to walk to Hogwarts. Featuring the Brontës, a harmonica, a shrinking tent, and some self-discovery.
Once again: camping in Scotland, but this time with absolutely no angst! This fic is sweet and funny through and through!
Out There, by halictus (21k)
Sirius has to go backpacking to fulfill a college graduation requirement. He is comfortable in his own skin, he has friends, he has passions. But he's still learning how to fit himself into loosely-defined spaces. Remus is a graduate student leading the trip. He loves nature, and backpacking, and being outside, and smiling, and having lots of energy. They both have some learning to do—not necessarily tactfully.
Here you have some hiking, but on the other side of the Atlantic! Camping, skinny dipping and thunderstorms—and some strangers to lovers!
The Predatory Wasp, by munacy (23k)
Remus continues, “Alright then...of the survivors...I would marry Wormy.” Peter lets out an elated squeal. “I know for a fact that he can cook really well, he’s quite easygoing, and he’d make a wonderful little spoon for cuddling,” Remus winks cheekily at him. “Recipe for domestic bliss.”
“Aw, Moony, you’re lovely, aren’t you?” says Peter as Sirius mimes throwing up. Remus smiles, then blurts: “And lastly, well, I really want to shag Sirius, for obvious reasons.”
Everyone freezes.
What, Remus thinks faintly, in the ever-loving fuck?
This is so funny, and the nature-vibe immaculate! Features: camping, gay panic, James being lovely, and quite a lot of Walt Whitman poetry.
Go East [+Podfic], by xinasvoice (84k)
Remus has been running for a long time. Eventually, he runs into a strange castle built by a wizard and his young apprentice. The longer he stays, the more secrets he uncovers...and the less he wants to leave.
This is a novel-length adventure story that loosely follows the plot of Howl's Moving Castle. It does not require knowledge of the HMC book or movie to enjoy it.
This features nature of the more magical kind, but oh my does it do it well. The magical world building in this is INCREDIBLE! And the plot??? Amazing! Even if you’ve seen Howl’s Moving Castle, you’ll be surprised. The story is just amazing. Also, if you haven’t already, you really should listen to the Podfic—it’s really really good quality!
Do you have any nature-y fics that I’ve missed? Please rec them to me!!

Im driving myself crazy over a fic I loved but have forgotten about and I think you might be able to help because Im rather sure I found it on your masterlist but cant find it again!!!! things I do remember: Sirius and Remus and flatmates, it's a bit angsty, Remus' mom dies, he has a sad sad moment riding a bus and a woman calling him "boy" in welsh and in the end he leaves a note telling Sirius he's gone home to visit his mom's grave and Sirius appears on the bus to go with him and brings him chocolate. Does it sound familiar? 😭 Help please
Hi love!!
The fic you’re looking for is the BEAUTIFUL:
the son and heir of nothing in particular, by aeridi0nis (24k)
Remus is nineteen and tired, now. And he knows that if he and Sirius were ever going to become anything—if Sirius loved Remus the way Remus loves, and will probably always love, him—it already would’ve happened.

🌸FLUFFY FRIDAY #55🌸
Warning! This could be too sweet to handle!✨
Heartstones, by eyra (5k)
Remus is a lonely painter. Sirius is a shopkeeper who might just have a solution for that. Summertime on the Yorkshire coast, with crystals, and candle-smoke, and sunshine.
You know, normally, anything remotely new age-y gives me the ick. Not this though! This was lovely, just like everything else eyra has written.
tell me what you want, say it like an oath, by drowsyanddazed (3k)
Sirius tilts his head. “What? What do you want?” Gray eyes. Collarbones. Body heat.
“Nothing,” Remus' eyes shift to Sirius’ lips and then quickly back to smoky eyes, “it doesn’t matter.”
Don’t look at me, no I’m not drooling, nope. Urgh, this short little piece of writing is just so perfect. Pining Remus, hot tension, and a wonderful (wonderful!!) scene where that tension is…resolved.
Btw sorry loves for being a bit absent lately. I’m not leaving this blog (you’ll never get rid of me!!), I’ve just had a few shitty weeks which have left me with absolutely no energy for anything else.

your favorite uni aus please and thank you <3
Hi anon🌸 Since many of my favourite uni!AUs are the same as my absolute favourites in general, you’ll recognise some of these fics from my others rec lists. But I just couldn’t exclude them! Anyway, I tried to include some other gems as well.
* = personal favourite
*Blends, by rvltn909 (191k)
Words got in the way sometimes, but Remus got the sense Sirius knew what he was trying to say.
General themes: slow burn(!!); pining; fluff; light angst; smut; strangers to friends to lovers.
(If you haven’t read blends yet, what are you even doing?)
*talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, by beep348 (20k)
Remus and Sirius are in the same literature seminar at university and while Remus is great at reading books he is very bad at reading people.
General themes: pining; misunderstandings (remus thinks sirius is dating mary); strangers to friends to lovers; slow burn; fluff.
Size of the Moon, by deadsea (39k)
remus & sirius are dumb (american) college radio co-djs who, of course, often struggle to express feelings through anything but their playlists
General themes: friends to lovers; poor communication.
*Impossible Things, by accioromulus (14k)
It was an impossible thing, living with Remus Lupin--but Sirius was doing it anyway.
General themes: flatmates; pining; slow burn; friends to lovers; soft soft soft.

Paper Walls, by Kember (66k)

He just wants to keep his head down, crack on with his studies, and maybe graduate at some point in the future.

OKAY PLEASE HELP ME ELLIOT!! i was searching everywhere but i couldn’t find a specific fic. I think sirius tells remus to flirt more and then remus ate chocolate in the infirmary and was liking his fingers and was looking sirius straight in the eye. And Sirius was kinda loosing his shit but was still oblivious that rem was flirting with him. He also did other flirty things i totally forgot (thats why i want to read it again). I have the feeling that you maybe already recommendet that one… if you can figure out which it is, i would be super happy :)
thank you anyways!! <3
Hi anon🌸 Sorry, but for the life of me I can’t find this fic /: Do you remember anything else about it? Any locations, other characters that were in it, featured objects, or anything else? Or perhaps anyone else recognises this?

🌸FLUFFY FRIDAY #54🌸
A dentist’s nightmare✨
It Took The Night to Believe, by wolfpants (7k)
Somewhere in the south of England, 2002. It's the first summer after first year at university, and Sirius, Remus, and James are headed to a gig at their local hellhole... literally. With a little help from some infernal intervention, can Sirius and Remus finally admit their feelings?
A story about gigs in the middle of nowhere, possessed CDs found in the woods, ancient PC crunching noises, and saying to hell with it when it comes to matters of the heart.
Fluffy, but also slightly spooky! This little fic is absolutely golden. Very unique, and oh so lovely.
Passing the Time, by heart_axe (5k)
Sirius is bored and he's going to make it Remus' problem.
Sirius is bored — which naturally leads to snogging and a coming out, of sorts. Sweet banter and a confident Remus — it’s incredibly cute all around!
Btw I’m sorry this is late! I’ve been quite sick for the last couple of days, and didn’t keep track of the days… so “Fluffy Saturday” is what you get this week!

Hi! I read a post where James' mom said that Remus would be her son in law one day (obvsly because of sirius her-second-son not james) and was wondering if there are any fics like that, about how James's parents or other adults/possibly students view wolfstar before/after getting together? Hope you know what I mean I can't explain it better, idk how to search for this :D wolfstar but not from their pov basically
Hi anon🌸 I couldn’t think of that many fics to fit this description, sorry. Does anyone else have a rec?
It's Written All Over Your Face, by Engie_Ivy (5k)
Hope Lupin and Euphemia Potter are good mums.
From Hope and Euphemia’s POV.
Head of House, by SwissCheesePlant (7k)
The consequences of Sirius and James pretending to be boyfriends weren't supposed to come to a head during a convoluted and unnecessarily kinetic drinking game... but such is life.
This fic begins and ends with McGonagall’s POV, although most of it isn’t.

🌸FLUFFY FRIDAY #53🌸
Bring a toothbrush✨
I Think I'm Gonna Love You For A Long Time, by @imsiriuslyreading (2k)
A silly little meet-cute of my favourite people meeting on the central line, London underground.
This is the definition of a meet-cute. It’s so bloody adorable!! A short story of social anxiety in public spaces, of pinky nudges and shared earphones. Lovely!
A Reckoning, of Sorts, by melpomenite (6k)
Sirius and Remus aren't exclusive, but that doesn't mean Sirius doesn't have a hard time when he sees Remus with somebody else.
I don’t know what it is, but these last few years I’ve just loved the ‘friends with benefits to lovers’ trope. It’s all that jealousy, tension, poor communication. Feels ironic, but I just can’t get enough!

Hi! Do you have any recs that are just mostly fun banter? something lighthearted and easy to read 😊
Hi love🌸 Sorry this took ages! I just couldn’t decide. But here you have a few that I adore:
Our Blood, Still Young, by templeg (15k)
It's nearly the last day of fifth year, and Sirius really isn't looking forward to the summer.
Get-together fic (spoiler alert, but really, what were you expecting?) set over the summer of 1976 and into the autumn.
(I’m not gonna comment each fic because there are too many… but I just need to say that this is GOLDEN! It’s hilarious and so so wonderful)
oh, we were bound to get together, by nikkiRA (7k)
For the record, it took Sirius a little over four years to understand how he felt about Remus. It took James Potter about 15 minutes.
A Short Summary of Things That Are James Potter's Fault, by xylodemon (2k)
In which the mistletoe is hexed, Remus would rather not spend the night in a broom cupboard, and several things are James Potter's fault.
Lupin’s Lethargy (and the Litter Lobbing Libertines), by SwissCheesePlant (3k)
It began, as so many of the Marauders’ misadventures did, with a heartfelt sigh and declaration of boredom from one Sirius Black.
Or, in which James is winning, Sirius has a strategy, Peter petrifies a toad, and Remus is just trying to sleep.
A Supplementary Story, by elixirsoflife (5k)
Honestly, if someone told him this morning that he’s going to be attacked by a vampire on his way back from the library, rejected half a second later because apparently he’s not delicious enough for the guy’s liking, and then have said vampire concerned about his health – well, he’d tell them to check out the local GP when they next have the chance.
Surely this isn’t normal?
The Not So Suave Coming Out of Sirius Orion Black (1977), by Keysie (4k)
The first time Sirius Black came out of the closet, it was, ironically, in a closet. Now he's finally ready to tell his friends, but there just never seems to be a right time. So, he picked the wrong time, and just rolled with it. Kinda.
Operation: Toebeans, by moonymoment (28k)
Sirius comes up with the ingenious idea to give McGonagall a Marauders-esque nickname, but potentially getting kicked off the Quidditch team for the sake of mischief is just over the "not-worth-it" line. A reluctant Remus comes up with the idea of using reverse psychology to trick her into calling him Padfoot, so it's only fair they can then call her Toebeans.
Sirius thinks it's brilliant. James is crying of laughter 90% of the time, Peter has a few rare strokes of brilliance, and Lily is pretty damn sure that's not what reverse psychology is.
Harmonicas, Hinky-punks, and Heather, by Squidgilator (23k)
Sirius and Remus get stranded in Scotland on Order business, and decide to walk to Hogwarts. Featuring the Brontës, a harmonica, a shrinking tent, and some self-discovery.
Hopeless, by OfficialStarsandGutters (3k)
You see, it is all very sudden and unexpected. When they parted ways after fifth year, Moony was just good old Moony. Soft, warm, a little tattered around the edges; smelling of old books, chocolate, and a light wolfish undertone that Sirius has only been able to pick up on since Padfoot came around. Moony with his comfy, oversized jumpers, his cardigans, of all things (really, what teenage boy wears cardigans?), his common sense, dry wit, and secret wicked humour.
But when they come back for sixth year, Moony is hot.
The Price of Looking, orphaned (2k)
Remus Lupin has always been blind, and enjoys trolling his dormmates with terrible blind jokes. But when Remus challenges him to let him see a bit more, Sirius definitely rises to it.
Passing the Time, by heart_axe (5k)
Sirius is bored and he's going to make it Remus' problem.

A dentist’s nightmare✨
Morning Coffee and Petty Arguments, by dogpawsnwerewolfclaws (1k)
Remus goes to the same coffee shop every day, one day he spills coffee on someone and so ensues the strangest argument of his entire life.
It feels like it’s been a while since I recced a coffee shop!au. And we can’t have that, now can we? What it says on the tin.
midnight train going anywhere (in upstate New York), by wearegods (4k)
Sirius is a legacy kid at an Ivy League. Remus has seen him in a few of his classes, but they’ve never talked. Heading home for a long weekend, Remus finds himself in the same train car as Sirius.
University!au, strangers to lovers, and flirting on a train. This, apparently, is the recipe for the perfect fluffy little fic. It will brighten up your day, I promise!
Hey, how are you all? Have you survived through winter so far?? I hope your shoes have always been warm enough, and that you haven’t lost a mitten! ❄️
