Down at the Wolfbucks Cafe by @wolfstargarden

The Killing Moon by @kattlupin
After a lifetime of dreaming of another mans life, Sirius finds himself in a race against time to find and save the man from the tragic fate that has befallen him in each of his previous lives.
Now I Wanna Be Your Dog by @remus-john-lupin
Sirius clunks about in his Doc Martens and listens to The Stooges and smokes cigarettes and wears his hair much too long and spends more time serving detention than not. And is way too forward about his sudden feelings for Remus.
What became of the dreams we had by @aryastark-valarmorghulis
Christmas, 1994: two young old men, a cottage, a boat and a love story. (Set during Goblet of Fire: Sirius is hiding in Hogsmeade but he visits Remus for Christmas)
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.
When the summer between third and fourth year begins, Sirius expects it to be nothing but lazy days, harmless pranks with James, and the occasional meet-up with the rest of his friends from Hogwarts. Those plans go out the window rather quickly when he gets a sudden glimpse of Remus Lupin, a mysterious boy who changes everything about Sirius Black’s life and shows him that love will always win in the end.
Resolution by @gooseberrybrains
Sirius had always figured that he wouldn’t get a happily ever after. It just wasn’t in the cards for him. For a time, he did have hope that it could be different, but when the battles and the deaths started increasing he knew that he was out of luck. People like him didn’t get to live out their dreams. Instead, he could hope to die for his.
Everyone deserves a little happiness, even Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Alternate Universe (AU) set during Harry Potter’s third year at Hogwarts.
Runes by @yumenouveau (pls also check out her AMAZING art)
In 1860 Hogwarts is a prestigious and diverse learning environment filled with bright young minds and forward thinking wizards. When Remus takes a job teaching Herbology, an incredibly annoying yet roguishly handsome Professor Sirius Black has inexplicably taken a keen interest in him. For whatever reason he can’t seem to say no to this man and finds himself surrounded by friends and companionship for the first time in his life. But something mysterious is happening under the castle eves and Remus and Sirius take it upon themselves to discover an evil hiding in plain sight.
What Glows in the Dark by @remus-john-lupin
Sirius’s fingers seem to know just what they’re doing as they trace the bright white lines that litter Remus’s skin; the scars that seem to glow phosphorescent in the flickering candlelight…
While trying to find a photograph for Lily Luna’s school project, Remus quickly becomes distracted by his gorgeous husband Sirius.
Sirius Plans by @artymakeart
Sirius Black had a plan and it got out of hand.
The Crooked Age by @aryastark-valarmorghulis
Remus was never allowed to go to Hogwarts and met Sirius later in life. “But who said the most logical, conformist solution was always the right answer? Mainstream, boring, by-the-book people. Remus seemed to be a bit of an eccentric. It was refreshing.”
How Remus Got His Groove Back by @theprongsletthatlived
After two years of noncommittal sex: Remus tells Sirius that he loves him. Sirius firmly rejects him. Remus tries to move on. Sirius is not happy. OR Remus Lupin becomes king of the cockroaches, Fabian Prewett writes a book, Gilderoy Lockhart is a catfish, and Sirius Black realizes he’s a fucking idiot.
Matchmaker Prongs by me (total texting crack)
James meets Regulus while out, and reports back to his bestie Moony about his new crush and his cute brother…
Remus Lupin has Veela blood, Sirius Black reads trite romance novels, and neither of them are quite sure what the fuck to do with their hands when they get to talking with one another.
Madrid, Spain — 1983. Two dancers from across the proverbial and literal earth join the same company. Amid the swirling atmosphere of new beginnings and old confusion, Sirius and Remus must figure out how to keep dancing and stomp out the embers of internal infernos while holding fast to the rhythm of each passing day.
Pas de Deux in the Upper West Side by @bringblackback
Remus Lupin is a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet. A lead role comes up for grabs in the company’s newest ballet and Remus is determined to have it. But only when Sirius Black — oozing talent, charisma and all the elements of a world-class distraction — joins the company does it hang in the balance.
Dulce et decorum by @shessocold
Sirius shows some common decency on the battlefield.
Grimsfall by @remus-john-lupin
There is a legend in the old city of Grimsfall that a large, black creature used to emerge from the forest at night, and anyone who met its gaze would be driven to madness before the thing dragged them into the depths of hell.
Remus Lupin and Sirius Black are two strangers both seeking solace in solo trips to Paris. Strangers that is, until happenstance sits them together on a plane and their solo trips turn into a romantic adventure together.
Where the Mist Falls by @yumenouveau
Remus loves being a deputy in the snowy mountain town of Greyback Peak. But when a crazy cult leader escapes in his woods and the FBI is called in, he’s not about to just hand everything over to the stuffy know-it-all feds. That is, until he’s confronted with silvery eyes, perfect cheekbones and a tailored suit that make his heart beat so loud it might start an avalanche.
Highland Fling by @picascribit
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.
Runaway by @gooseberrybrains
Sirius runs away from home and bumps into Remus, a sarcastic punk with an attitude problem. Sirius just wants to enjoy his life now that he is no longer under his parent’s roof, but life seems to have other plans, mostly involving Remus.
The Moon’s Favourite Son and the Guardian of the Forest by @artymakeart & shaggydogstail
When Remus was a little boy, he used to listen to stories told by the wind which came down his chimney. When he became an adult, he travelled to the place those stories came from, a magical forest far away. There he met Sirius, so beautiful and mysterious it was like he’d stepped straight out of a story book himself, and better yet Sirius promised to grant him three wishes.
‘You’re perfect,’ said Remus. ‘Will you marry me?’ Sirius blinked. ‘Come again?’ ‘Shit, did I say that out loud?’ Remus backed away, startled. ‘I um… what I meant to say… that is I should have said… Er. Would you like a cup of tea?’
The Hot Barista by @tonftyhw (please check out their amazing art)
Remus is a tired, hardworking Starbucks barista, and Sirius is a Hot Topic cashier. Slowly, but surely, the two find themselves falling for each other.
