thrilled that it's once again my favorite time of the month! I am so glad I started doing this back in January - it's been so fun to keep better track of what I'm reading & scream about the fics I've loved on here.
for the first time all year, I think 100% of these are wolfstar fics <3
it's a crazy time of year work-wise, so I've been truly loving and appreciating short one-shots I can read as little bedtime stories. here's hoping for a chill summer filled with lots of reading!!
WIPs
we will not be lovers by @fruityindividual [E | 5.9k | Wolfstar] - rj lupin is just having a miserable time - his girlfriend has dumped him for THE sirius black. obviously the only logical solution is for remus to seduce sirius as revenge.
time passages by fruity_individual [E | 86.8k | Wolfstar] - divorced, sad, lonely hogwarts professors. this is somehow both silly goofy fun and heartbreaking and devastating all at once, had to stare at the wall after the last chapter because it was that good/painful, I love it.
Rumspringa b-sides by @lifeisabitch-butimcute [G | 518 | Wolfstar] - feeling blessed to get even a glimpse at more Rumspringa!! this first scene was so sweet I loved it sm <3
My Husband is a Total Stranger by celebimine [E | 19.7k | Wolfstar] - sirius is a famous rockstar playboy w committment issues until he wakes up in another life where he's domestic and settled and married to a stranger, remus lupin. two chapters in and I'm fully immersed already!
Bradied Grass and Abalone by celestialremedy [E | 21.8k | Wolfstar] - celestialremedy has a way of writing that makes my brain go fuzzy in the best way. I love continuing to follow this r/s as they merge their lives together <3
Melody of Wildflower Honey by @outromoonyy [NR | 300k | Wolfstar] - we are 300,000 words in and they're holding hands, that's how the slow burn is going and it's SO delicious. I love the dual timelines and the yearning.
Remus Lupin's guide to falling in love as an old man by @brandileigh2003 [E | 24.2k | Wolfstar] - my love for old man wolfstar continues! I loved the recent reapparence of teddy and the way r/s care so deeply for each other as they navigate a new relationship.
The Road to Thistle Creek by @just--vi [E | 85.4k | Wolfstar] - what a true treat and delight to read the most recent chapter just this morning. this slow burning relationship feels like hundreds of dominos slowly being lined up, and it's going to feel so satisfying to watch them finally fall into place!
Multi-Chapter
Whispers of the Night by nixfics [M | 1.6k | Wolfstar] - lately I've been obsessed with secret relationship outsider pov wolfstar reveals, and this has hermione stumbling into r/s at grimmauld place.
from something to nothing to something again by @superficialextent [E | 25.7k | Wolfstar] - wolfstar exes (kind of) to lovers will always hit for me. this had incredible building tension and a worth-the-wait payoff!
don't look much like a lover (doesn't mean that i won't try) by @barkingatthemooninsteadofwriting [E | 161k | Wolfstar] - truly my saturdays are emptier now that this incredible fic is finished, but what an amazing journey! thinking very fondly of my close personal friends remus, sirius, and teddy living happily on the beach forever and ever <3
One-Shots
Bad Timing by nixfics [E | 1.9k | Wolfstar] - harry walks in on r/s kissing (and more!), and they are forced to have an awkward conversation. plus, fun wolfstar banter!
Famous Last Words, or: We're Only Getting One (1) Cat by @igetje [G | 2.4k | Wolfstar] - this is my new canon, I am now imagining r/s growing old and filling their home with cats. <3 <3
The Daily Horoscoop: Love, Loss and Second Chances under the Strawberry Moon by igetje [T | 1.9k | Wolfstar] - there is something so quietly romantic about only reading the horoscope of the person you love...seems like a very likely thing for r/s to be doing during the PoA era. I loved this!!
Spring Break by plagueherheart [E | 2.6k | Wolfstar] - sickeningly sweet smut in the very best way. remus is a teacher on spring break and desperately misses sirius during the few hours they're separated while he's at work :')
hope your touch makes it better by @sorealis [T | 4.3k | Wolfstar] - lie low at lupin's (!!!!) where remus and sirius are both trying their best to make things better. featuring traumatized sirius and remus who is trying his best to help, so tender, so angsty, so perfect.
Why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite? by @shunstanpike [T | 1.9k | Wolfstar] - camp-themed speed dating where both remus and sirius get it slightly wrong! a very fun and sweet meet-cute :)
Pier Pressure by @theoryofanamnesis [M | 13.5k | Wolfstar] - a 20-year reunion on a cruise ship! remus has not so fond memories of sirius in high school, but finds the older version of him to be much nicer. this was full of longing looks and flirty banter, my two favorite things <3
nice little ride by MoonstruckConstellations [E | 2.1k | Wolfstar] - remus and sirius are friends, just friends (even though remus wants more)...until they get stuck in an elevator together. forced proximity smut!
It Can't All Be Cake by archduck [T | 1.1k | Wolfstar] - at lily and james's wedding, remus and sirius have a conversation about marriage. this made me Sad (in a very good way).
A Ringpop Wedding by aimforthedogstar [G | 1.6k | Wolfstar] - harry doesn't understand why moony and padfoot aren't married like his parents are...so they have a wedding. so so sweet!!
a million little stars (spelling out your name) by woltstar [E | 3.3k | Wolfstar] - sirius thinks he's home alone. he's not. maybe he gets carried away thinking about his roommate, maybe he calls out remus's name...maybe remus walks in seconds later.
The Last of the Bugs by @astralsunshine [T | 1.7k | Wolfstar] - every single noah kahan song already makes me think of wolfstar, so why not make it official? this first installment is atmospheric and immersive and so, so good.
Sure Bet, Losing Streak by astralsunshine [T | 2.7k | Wolfstar] - did not expect to have my feelings hurt so quickly, and for it to feel so good when it happened! remus and sirius start kissing, and then they stop. <3
All That's Best of Dark and Bright by Nara_Riya [T | 6.3k | Wolfstar] - sirius has a date for valentine's day. it's breaking remus's heart...if only he can figure out who the date might be! oh, oblivious remus lupin you are so dear to me!! <3

Would You Still Love Me if I Were Polyjuiced Into Someone Else?
T | 4.1k | Wolfstar
a @2wolf2star wolfstar wobble
"Just say yes to the Polyjuice, Remus," Sirius sighed. "Say yes. Meet me again as a stranger, lie about your life, I'll lie about mine, and see if you match with me in the end. If you do, I'll let this go."
"And if we don't match?"
"Then, I don't know. Then at least we'll know."
Remus turns forty-two. Sirius has a crisis about it.
Sirius is mostly awake when he feels the soft brush of a kiss against his cheek, grumbling unhappily when Remus scoots away from where he was pressed against his back and gets out of bed, able to hear Teddy’s alarm beeping faintly down the hall as he squints his eyes open to glare at the open door that Remus has just disappeared through before turning his attention to the lightening window.
He groans as he flops over onto his back, throwing his arms over his face with a sniff, listening to the sounds of the house waking up—birds crying outside, the waves crashing against the shore, Teddy and Remus speaking in hushed voices, the burble of the coffee maker—a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth when he decides that he may as well get up too. He waits until he hears Teddy vacate the bathroom before he sits up, snagging one of Remus’ discarded shirts from the laundry bin as he heads towards the hall, pulling it overhead and smoothing his hair back into place as he claims his turn in the bathroom, smiling when he spots a sticky note with a little crooked heart stuck to his deodorant.
chapter 40 of don't look much like a lover (doesn't mean that i won't try) is now available on AO3... meaning that this fic is now complete! thank you so much to everyone who has gone on this journey with me. i can't believe that it's really done. <3
