It's 1985 and the war that plagued Wizarding Britain is over. The Dark Lord is dead. History books have been updated, written in Ink for future generations.
Sirius Black is a war hero. Without him, the war would have been lost. Dark days would still hang over them all. Sirius resents it. The books fail to mention that he'd lost nearly everything he cared about to win. Set fire to it in a blaze of glory, leaving nothing but ashes in his wake.
But now, Sirius Black has it all. He's a world famous curse breaker. He's rich and handsome. The Black family legacy has been redefined in his name. He has it all and he's miserable. It's fine; he's better on his own.
The history books won't mention Remus Lupin. Secondary characters don't make headlines, and Remus has made a life out of staying in the shadows.
Remus spent the war towing a line, never committing, running before anyone could pin him down, and he'd lost everything he loved in the process. It's fine; he's better on his own.
Fics that are simmering
(Ask me about them and I'll give you every detail)
Another curse breaker AU
Magical historians Lily & Remus hire famous curse breakers James & Sirius to help them with a cursed artifact. (James/Lily & Remus/Sirius)
Into the underworld
James ventures into the underworld to bring Sirius back to life. (A James/Sirius Orpheus and Eurydice AU)
Death & Hope
A multi-POV canon compliant long fic.
Chicago
A band AU. Need I say more?
Fic Binding
When I bind a fic, it is a love letter to the author. My own version of fanart. I can't draw, but I can glue bits of paper together. If you take inspiration from this - please, I beg of you, talk to the author first. Make sure they're okay with their fics being bound and respect their wishes.
And for the love of James Potter, DO NOT offer your bound fanfic for sale, use any paid services in the process of binding, or buy bound fanfic from anyone, on any platform. This is shit behaviour that puts fan fiction as a whole at risk and is disrespectful to authors who are offering their art to you for free.
Most done with @/Marley1031. We are two creative souls sharing one pencil.
My liege im sorry to break it to you but your advisor that's actually evil and wants you dead turned out to be straight. I know you really wanted to have an enemies to lovers situation with him. Yeah I'm afraid the poisoning didn't hold any romantic intent behind it. The king of the enemy kingdom is bisexual though, I could send him a letter? Yes, I'll make sure to include multiple threats of homoerotic nature. You will have your toxic yaoi, my liege

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

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 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.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
tumblr users being generally knowledgeable about phishing attempts and scams and yet not hesitating to click various links from unknown users because they say such things as "spin the wheel to determine your alvin and the chipmunks band persona based on my favorite italian desserts" and we go "heck yeah."
