cas | she/her | AO3

my inbox is always open! please come yell at me about my fics or your day or your favorite soup recipes or anything you want! come yap at me!

i have never used AI in my writing, nor will i EVER use AI to write, and if you feed my writing into an AI generator i will personally become your sleep paralysis demon.

i do not support JKR, or her views, and i beg of others in the fandom to stop supporting her financially. every single time you buy merch, stream the movies, etc, she uses that money to support anti-trans organizations. giving her money DIRECTLY hurts queer people. DO NOT watch that fucking show when it's released.

if you like my works, please drop a comment on ao3 and let me know! it's not just the characters that have a praise kink over here...

you can find me on other sites like instagram and tiktok. you can also find me on my 18+ wolfstar server! come hang out with us.

you can find my current wip's beneath the cut, or a full masterlist of all my fics here. interested in what i've been reading? you can find my monthly wrap up posts here.

don't look much like a lover (doesn't mean that i won't try)

In the wake of his father’s death Sirius Black finds himself living on the North Carolina coast in the beach-themed love shack that Orion shared with his mistress. His plan for the summer is to finish writing his novel, get the house ready so that he can list it for sale, and get back to New York before the leaves can even begin to change. Too bad his former college nemesis and fellow author Remus Lupin lives right next door, just as surly and withdrawn as he remembers him being, throwing a wrench into all of his carefully laid out plans. [explicit]

your baby is the size of a... 

“So get married,” Sirius says calmly, his scent giving absolutely nothing away as he turns towards him and stretches his arm out along the top of the sofa, arching a brow when Remus just gapes at him. “To fucking who?” he asks, giving him a baffled look as he throws his hands up in the air. “Am I supposed to track down the man who knocked me up, whose name and appearance I don’t know, and ask if he wants a husband? Take out an advertisement in the Prophet, perhaps?” Sirius gives him a flat look, tonguing the inside of his cheek before he looks away, eyes focusing on the wall next to the fireplace. “You could marry me.” When Remus finds himself pregnant after a one night stand he knows that he won't be able to keep his baby, no matter how much he wants them, due to the Ministry's draconian laws against werewolves. Luckily, his best friend has a solution... [explicit]

sharp as teeth and scars (i can't give you up)

The man, vampire, hovering above him and straddling his hips, his arms pinned beneath his knees, is beautiful. He’s made of starlight, silver eyes burning in the dim light of the alleyway, white skin luminescent and almost glowing from within, fangs flashing as he licks his lips. Their eyes meet, and the entire universe shifts on its axis, everything around them fading away into nothingness. His lungs feel frozen, those silver eyes staring into his very soul, and he’s never felt so terribly seen. He finally manages to gasp in a shallow breath, lungs filling with the scent of vampire, and instead of the usual panic and rage that accompanies it all he feels is a sense of peace. He supposes that dying here, at the hands of the most beautiful creature he’s ever seen, isn’t the worst way to go. [explicit]

Mean Wizards

“Who are the marauders?” “They’re teen royalty,” Evan says, glancing over at the field, and Remus follows his gaze to a trio of boys making their way out onto the field, wind artfully tousling their hair like they’re currently shooting a shampoo commercial. “If Hogsmeade was The Daily Prophet, they would always be on the cover.” “That one there, that’s James Potter,” Barty says, pointing at the dark skinned boy with messy hair and gold rimmed glasses, his gym uniform appearing to be several sizes too small. “He is one of the dumbest guys you will ever meet. Evan sat next to him in English last year.” “He asked me how to spell orange.” “And that little one, that’s Peter Pettigrew,” Barty continues, pointing out the smaller blonde boy, a muggle cell phone pressed against his ear, so focused on his call that he doesn’t even notice the dodgeball before it bounces off the side of his head. “Peter Pettigrew knows everyone’s business. He knows everything about everyone.” “And evil takes human form in Sirius Black,” Barty says darkly, an unpleasant expression crossing his face. -a marauders mean girls au [mature]

all along there was some invisible string (tying me to you)

Remus never expected to fall in love with Sirius, the man his boyfriend cheated on him with. Sirius, whose boyfriend cheated on him with Remus, also never expected to fall in love with him, but thinks it’s hilarious in retrospect. -a series of moments from remus and sirius’ lives, set during and after the events of when i was an old cardigan under someone’s bed (you put me on and said i was your favorite) [explicit]

Bad Moon Rising

It takes the Order nearly three months after the end of the war to remember he exists. Remus Lupin has given his life to the cause, and when he’s finally recalled from the field he discovers that everyone he loves is dead or gone. How is he supposed to continue when everything he lived for has been taken away? -a raising Harry, wolfstar centric fic set after the events of the first wizarding war [explicit]

The next morning when Remus gets to school he pauses just inside the front door, fidgeting with the strap of his bag, staring down the hall towards his locker, blinking a few times because he’s not entirely sure what he’s looking at. Sirius is leaning against the locker next to his, leather jacket hanging open over his t-shirt—which is much too casual for a Tuesday, he wonders if they’ve tossed their dress code out the window—face blank as he stares down Barty, who is standing on the other side of Remus’ locker with a nasty glare on his face and Evan at his side. He pulls his lower lip between his teeth, thinking about slowly backing away before any of them can see him, until he remembers that he’s trying to be friends, or more, with all of them and that those parts of his life will overlap sometimes, and that running away probably isn’t the best idea, sighing as he finally walks forward.

give me everything by @sorealis

A blindfold, a spell so he can’t hear, and giving his boyfriend full control shouldn’t be this exciting, but to Sirius it’s the ultimate show of trust and there is nothing hotter than that. Kinktober day 19: Sensory deprivation, Electricity [Explicit | 2,006 words]

Presto Bang-o by @r33sespieces

"I'm the Marvellous Mr. Lupin, here to dazzle with feats of magic you'll have to see to still not believe! Who's ready to have some fun?" The magician visibly deflates as scattered, unenthusiastic applause sounds through the conference room. Sirius almost feels bad for the man. There are probably few jobs more bleak than providing entertainment for a corporate networking event where everybody just wants to get drunk at the lobby bar or go to their room for a luxurious hotel wank that won't get interrupted by their kids. It's sort of the man's own fault for taking the gig, though. Kids' parties probably have a much more enthusiastic audience. Maybe Sirius should get his card and hire him for Harry's birthday. OR Is Sirius really thinking about seducing this magician? Really? [Teen | 4,119 words]

Pretty Little Baby by @moonman-84

Sometimes We're Lovers (Sometimes We're Friends) by @always-pining

A confession during sixth year. Sirius tells Remus he won't ask again. Years later, Remus still hears it like a promise: If you want me, one day, you’re going to have to be the one to ask. 1977 - 1995 [Teen | 3,213 words]

Clipped On You by @emperorem

After the C-Suite of James Potter, Sirius Black, and Marlene McKinnon assigns Remus a very boring work assignment, he decides to entertain himself by adding Clippy clip art, the once-upon-a-time Microsoft Office helper. And really, the whole thing starts innocently enough—he swears it does. But Remus stumbles across a surprising side of Clippy. Although in retrospect, it shouldn’t have been surprising. The internet truly has a little something for everyone. And this little something is sexy Clippy. [Explicit | 9,190 words]

Black Tartan by @sliebman10

When Sirius attends an event for his family's foundation, he decides to flout his mother's expectations by wearing his Highland suit rather than the tuxedo she provided. Remus is a fan of this decision and shows his appreciation accordingly. [Explicit | 3,182 words]

Loop Inn (Or: The Motel of Requirement) by @shunstanpike

"Please, Remus," Sirius begged. "I don't want my fantasies to come true. I don't want to sleep with the monkeys or become a human garnish. I just want a functioning shower, a clean bed, and a strong cup of coffee in the morning. Is that too much to ask?" "I can do that." "Can you?!" Sirius's voice broke and he thought he might burst into tears. He didn't want to think about how long he'd been awake at this point. – Sirius is in Vegas for a last-minute wedding, but every hotel is completely booked. Every hotel except Loop Inn. [Teen | 4,585 words]

Sirius Black and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Shirtless Curse by @astralsunshine

Sirius Black expected many things from his eighth year at Hogwarts after Voldemort was defeated. He did not, however, expect to be cursed to roam the castle completely shirtless, flaunting his visual assets to undeserving eyes. The sight of a shirtless Sirius Black is, of course, one to behold—but why won't Remus Lupin look at him? [Explicit | 8,048 words]

Chocolate Cake by RealityShowJunky

“Yes, Remus Lupin is gorgeous, smart, funny, and hands down the best lay Sirius has ever had. Sometimes, Sirius just can’t get enough of him—of his plump mouth or the sweetness that seems to radiate out of his pores. He’ll even admit that he does prefer Remus’ company to anyone else’s ninety percent of the time. But—just because your favorite dessert is chocolate cake doesn’t mean you’ll never crave a cookie, right?” Rich frat bro Sirius Black has a great thing going until he doesn’t. In order to win back the hand of his true love, he must defeat interloping psych majors, settle old vendettas, and learn how to properly stuff a non-engagement ring in a piece of chocolate cake. [Mature | 5,894 words]

of elf-ears, movie marathons, and (un)requited feelings by @barkingatthemooninsteadofwriting

The thing is that Sirius has been a little bit in love with Remus since… forever.  Maybe not forever, but he knows that one day in secondary school he looked at his best friend, the one that made the inside of his chest feel like a bruised peach and thought, Oh. I think I’m in love with you. He didn’t really know what love meant yet, or the difference between platonic love and familial love or the love that his parents claimed to hold for each other and their sons, but he felt it all the same, turning his entire teenage world upside down.  It didn’t take very long for Sirius to realize, however, that Remus didn’t feel the same way about him in return.  - Sirius grapples with his feelings for Remus during a Lord of the Rings movie marathon. [Explicit | 9,009 words]

Sirius Loses Mario Kart by c1garettesfor_m00ny

Remus watched as Sirius downed a shot of tequila, a bit of the clear liquid sliding down the front of his throat and soaking into his extremely tight and extremely revealing black crop top. The top left nothing to the imagination, hugging just above where his sternum met the flat of his stomach. Remus felt himself blush and looked away from Sirius, deciding that that was enough staring for one night. That would get him through the night just fine. “If you’re done staring, I’d like to play Mario Kart.” Sirius rolled his eyes at the flushed look on Remus’ face and grabbed his hand. He led him to the couch where he shoved him down and Remus just- let him. Or Sirius Loses Mario Kart And Remus Fucks Him [Explicit | 6,018 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings]

happy reading round up day! it's been a big month for me, because dlmlal is now complete, and my other two wips will be finishing up next month! i plan on taking a bit of a writing break over the summer (while working on some top secret projects that will be posting later this year) but i've had more reading time lately, which is always a huge bonus.
