Remus and/or Sirius with religious trauma serving as a pastor is one of my favorite AUs. Dear Your Holiness by MollyMayMarie on AO3 really sparked a flame inside me.
Sirius grew up in the church surrounded by hate and shame only to stumble upon a Catholic priest welcoming so many people. Kind of like Judd in the mist recent Knives Out movie. Sirius, being confused, watches from a distance, but, of course, Remus notices him. He notices, but doesn’t call attention. They grow closer through community and the desire and hunger we feel as humans for connection.
Or—Remus stumbles upon a church run my Monty with James welcoming him into the church where he meets Sirius who also got welcomed in as a “Black” sheep.
Or—even possibly a third variant with Remus and Regulus being best friends sucked into this church with James and Sirius.
Religious guilt as a heavy theme will always toy with my feelings. I’m so ready for the new Leviticus movie, all the tears that will be shed, and fanfics read/written.
