Wolfstar Hockey AU🏒

Because we've all been watching Heated Rivalry darlings...

chéri, darling, and other terms of endearment by Siriusly_Reggie_13 on AO3 (WIP - 88,382 words, rated mature)

Summary: Sirius Black's life has always revolved around hockey. Until, fresh off a Stanley Cup win, he finds himself stumbling upon Remus Lupin in a random London bookshop.

Remus Lupin's life has always revolved around books. Until, ready and waiting to head over to Yale, he finds himself distracted by grey eyes and a charming smile.

Suddenly, their romance crosses the Atlantic Ocean, blurring the lines between casual and something more. Is Sirius willing to possibly lose it all for love? And is Remus willing to chance a broken heart?

Summary: Remus works for the Gryffindor Lions as a physical trainer, and has been half in love with Sirius Black, the Lions' heartthrob captain, for a while now, but he never expected Sirius to return the feelings. Read if you like cute nicknames, slow burn, and pining. Yep. That's it.

Because Soph has given us so many wonderful works as a fandom, I think it's only fair I shout out one of their original works that is a hockey AU. Give it a read!! Thanks for the stunning writing always, Soph.

Holding by Messermoon on AO3 (@sophsicle) (WIP - 72,123 words, rated explicit)

Summary: The thing about king making, is they never mention the guillotine until after they’ve crowned you. This is a story about hockey. By the way.

A Merry Wolfstar Christmas Fic Rec🎄🌟🌙

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! In honor of this time of year, here’s some holiday Wolfstar I’ve read, am reading, or am planning on reading.(Yes, there are a lot of MsAlexWP fics because Alex is THE Christmas Wolfstar writer in my humble opinion.)

Elucidation Practice by montparnasse on AO3 (21,359 words, rated mature)

Summary: Christmas, 1978. Remus, wrestling with the mighty problems of gift-giving on a budget, contemplates life, love, London in winter, and falling off the edge of the world with Sirius Black.

Tags: Post-Hogwarts, First Wizarding War, Friends to Lovers

I’ll Be Home for Christmas by MsAlexWP on AO3 (45,744 words, rated explicit)

Summary: Hope and Lyall Lupin hoped that their wizard son would come home to their little village in Wales and marry a nice, quiet Muggle accountant. So when Remus wants to bring home the flashy curse breaker Sirius Black for Christmas, Remus and Sirius pretend to be just friends at first to ease Mr. and Mrs. Lupin into the idea of their relationship. But everything doesn't go to plan.

Just Another Winter’s Tale by Elliepenny on AO3 (13,452 words, rated mature)

Summary: Celebrity singer Sirius is asked to collaborate on a charity Christmas single--and since James is going, he says yes. But someone else is there who Sirius doesn't want to see (or at least that's what he tells himself).

Based on the 1984 Band Aid recording of 'Do They Know It's Christmas.' Some things inspired by actual people/events, some completely made up.

Tags: Christmas, Singer Sirius, Bad Communication, Getting Back Together

Let Nothing You Dismay by montparnasse on AO3 (18,993 words, rated mature)

Summary: There are a few things Sirius really didn't count on for Christmas of 1979. The extreme sexual confusion is one of them; Remus Lupin is approximately seventy-eight of the rest.

Tags: Post-Hogwarts, Smut

merry christmas, war is over by dykesiriusblack on AO3 (5,834 words, rated teen and up)

Summary: Christmas: 1981 and 1995.

Tags: Christmas Angst, First and Second Wizarding Wars, Canon Compliant

Read This If: You cannot escape the dichotomy of melancholic joy that the holidays bring each year with time passing, slipping away. The writing is lovely, and I especially liked this line, “Now he is here, with a photo that should feel like lies but sits rocking on the edges of his chest, clings there, and Remus is pain boiled down to the living boundaries of tragedy.” Fast forward to 1995, and it’s a story perfumed with hope, older Wolfstar, and a bit of parent Wolfstar.

Second Chances (But What If I Call) by futurefortem on AO3 (21,114 words WIP, rated explicit)

Summary: Christmas in London has never felt less festive for Remus. Trying to handle his new life as a single-parent widow, he feels anything but jolly. And love really is the last thing he's searching or even hoping for. Until a charming artist with hair like coal and eyes like smoke dares to prove him wrong. And soon, Remus feels like he has arrived in his very own version of a Hallmart movie.

Or, between grief, bi-panic and second chances, Sirius teaches Remus to love again.

Dear Mr. Black by MsAlexWP on AO3 (73,957 words, rated explicit)

Summary: When famous TV chef Sirius Black is publicly outed and needs to escape the London paparazzi, he heads to a very rural B&B in Northumberland where he's astonished to taste the most delicious almond croissant he's ever tasted and simply must meet the chef. Featuring falling in love, snowy hikes, seeing the stars, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, unconventional families, letters to Father Christmas, wishes coming true, finding authenticity, getting to the heart of things, and lots and lots of food.

Read This If: You like gooey parent Wolfstar and the Great British Bake Off vibes.

A Silver Moon Christmas by MsAlexWP on AO3 (19,691 words, rated explicit)

Summary: It's been two years since famous TV chef Sirius Black left his high-flying life in London in favor of running a beautiful, idyllic B&B in rural Northumberland with his new husband and family.

To All a Good Night by MsAlexWP on AO3 (36,110 words, rated explicit)

Wolfstar All Time Favs

Hello Peeps,

I've been working on compiling a list of my favorite fics of Wolfstar that I've read over the years. Thank you x1,000,000 to all these gifted authors who shared their life changing words with us. I put them alphabetically because I could never truly rank them (that's like picking a favorite child). Again, this is all subjective and will be updated because there's still so many wonderful works out there to read!!

All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89 on A03 (526,969 words)

Canon Compliant - Maybe a better title for this would be the New Testament. This is fic is the very foundation of most modern characterizations of the Marauders. You're never going to be the same after meeting our boys this way and following their story. This work is a masterful classic. Have something fluffy and warm to read cued up afterwards though. Thank you from the bottom of our sad little hearts, MsKingBean89.

ALSO

All the Young Dudes - Sirius's Perspective by Rollercoasterwords on AO3 (628,178 words)

Canon Compliant - How lucky are we to get both perspectives? Hat off to this author (this was their first fanfic), they entered the mind of Sirius Black and captured it all for us. SOOOO good.

A Black Mass Over Highway Ninety by greenvlvetcouch (mpr3g) on AO3 (243,539 words)

AU - The author called this their magnum opus. I haven't read their other works, but I doubt they're wrong. They described it as "idiots in love and the idealistic nature of being young, love-struck, and so startlingly alive." Coming of age (in more than one way - if you know what I mean). Vegas, concerts, old trucks, love... It's good. REAL good.

Brave Face by zoe_millin_writes (@zoemillinwrites) on AO3 (675,907 words - WIP)

Canon Compliant - There's a lot of very real and heavy emotions in this, but Zoe writes them beautifully, giving them meaning and resiliency. Or as she puts it, "Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense." PLEASE KEEP WRITING ZOE - WE ALL APPRECIATE YOU!

The Cadence of Part-time Poets by motswolo (@motswolo) (979,910 words)

AU - Even the title is one of the best things I've ever read. The slowest burn, god it's so lovely. If I could interview or get into the mind of any fic writer, it'd be motswolo. I have never before laughed out loud in my bedroom by myself in the dark while reading a fic. It's. That. Good. The characters are so clear but have so much room to grow. How we get the nicknames of Moony, Prongs, Wormtail and Padfoot is all hilarious and needs a round of applause. (motswolo if you are ever reading this I will start a fundraiser to pay for a year of your life so you can focus on writing part II with no interruptions. Thank you for this lifechanging work).

Crimson Rivers by bizarrestars on AO3 (865,00 words)

AU - This is my gospel. This is the true word of God (aka bizarrestars). I can feel the love that went into this fic in every decision made. It feels realistic in its dealings with PTSD and intimacy issues and so much more. There's lots of complex feelings. I want to get the line "You're hesitating, love" tattooed on my forehead. There's a me before Crimson Rivers, and there's a me after (with parts of my soul missing). This is mainly a Jegulus fic, but there is Wolfstar big time too.

Darklands by newsom (@newsom) on AO3 (107,562 words)

Canon Adjacent - Sigh. What a beautifully, indulgently, heart-rewiring fic by an artist of words and technology. I love the letters. They made me want to throw up and kick my feet up and down simultaneously. This is a truly original work and just stunning. You'll devour it and keep coming back for seconds, thirds, fourths - lots of rereads!!

lover, you should've come over by dykesiriusblack (@dykefever) on AO3 (105,124 words)

AU - Oh boy our boys are bad with feelings. We feel for them. This hurts sooo good. dykesiriusblack does yearning so well. Go read anything and everything by them. NOW. (they're who I want to write like when I grow up).

Pride and Prejudice by Vixeree (@heirofslytherpuff)on AO3 (97,856 words - WIP)

This human is a sucker for period pieces ever since she fell in love with Jane Eyre at 11. This is a well-thought-out, stunning timepiece story. It's not complete but doesn't end in a bad place. (Vixeree if you see this how can I support you or encourage you to finish this, love? Send them some love if you get a chance <3)

A Wolf's Heart by mizdiz on AO3 (87,051 words)

AU - Such a creative snapshot of a beautiful relationship. The story deals with Remus, who has a congenital heart defect, and a learning Sirius. It's quick paced but still savory.

(Will be added to)
