yk how growing up some teenagers feel somewhat embarrassed to be seen with their parents? sirius is the entire opposite of that, he loves effie, loves going out with her, holding her hand when crossing the road, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, chatting about remus without a second thought, effie treasures every one of those moments, it took him so long to learn to reach out, he had grown so used to never asking for affection, convincing himself he didn't need it, seeing him so carefree makes her heart glow everytime
sirius looooves when remus kisses him. he'll be at the kitchen counter opening mail and remus will come up behind him, wrap his arms around his waist, squeezing him tightly while pressing a kiss to his neck, and sirius will melt back into him. he loves it when they're about to head out the door and he feels remus kiss his forehead or temple, or when remus wakes up before him and presses a sleepy kiss to his bare shoulder before getting up. remus knows how much sirius loves to be kissed so he makes sure to indulge him as much as he can. he'll bring sirius's knuckles to his lips when they hold hands or kiss the top of his head when he passes by sirius sitting on the couch. during sex, sirius is in ecstasy feeling remus's lips, teeth, and tongue on his skin. when remus gets home after sirius and sirius goes to greet him at the door, sirius will pull him close and then tilt his head up at him, a silent request, because above all he loves the feeling of remus leaning down to kiss him on the mouth, sirius humming happily as remus smiles against him.
whatever it is you’re doing don’t imagine wolfstar blasting their favorite songs and dancing together and yelling them in each other’s faces like crazy and laughing their asses off because first and foremost before all the ‘lovers’ thing they’re best friends forever
okay so pure bottom remus isn’t my most common read (i’m more of a bottom sirius / switch person) but here are the ones that lean that way:
language lessons by msalexwp (switches)
to all a good night by msalexwp (bottom remus only)
led by light of a star sweetly gleaming by wolfpants (1960s au, bottom remus)
when i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone’s bed (you put me on and said i was your favorite) by barkatthemoon (bottom remus)
dear mr. black by msalexwp (switches)
beautiful boy by peachyybabe (trans sirius + switches; this one is a heavy fic though, just a heads up)
if you want to focus on pwp, i recommend you LucyInTheSkye’s sirius & remus series, she’s written a lot of bottom remus. just keep in mind that there are a lot of kinky fics, so make sure you’ve checked the tags before reading
i’ve also seen people say gardenoflupins writes a lot of bottom remus, so you could check their works. i haven’t read them myself yet but they seem to have a good reputation for it
sirius is so touch-starved that the first time remus cups his face mid-kiss he actually forgets how to breathe and grabs his wrists for dear life. remus has to laugh against his mouth and ask if he’s okay
wolfstar as co-stars at a movie premiere, standing together at the red carpet, sirius determined to serve face, posing with effortless confidence, and remus beside him, hand resting comfortably on sirius’ waist, just waiting for this to be over, leaning down, whispering a ridiculous joke in his ear, you can see sirius trying to maintain his composure, smile breaking into his face, dissolving into this beautiful laugh, and remus loses it too, and suddenly they’re cracking up, turning into this giggly mess, leaning into each other, wide smiles, eyes crinkling, completely forgetting about the cameras
Sirius loves giving Remus hickeys and scratching down his back during sex, he gets so overwhelmed by the pleasure that he just has to bite and claw. Turns out Remus isn't too bothered by marks on his skin when they're proof he made Sirius feel good.
What are your all time favourite fics? I have a long drive ahead and I have a feeling you have great taste.
hi love, thank you for the compliment! honestly i haven’t read nearly as many fics as i’d like to (not even all the popular ones yet) but i’m working on it and it makes me so happy because people are ridiculously talented. here’s everything i’ve read and genuinely enjoyed so far, in no particular order:

remus kisses the tip of sirius nose when he wakes up first. sirius wrinkles it every time but his eyes stay closed on principle because he doesn't want it to stop
before sirius, remus didn’t feel comfortable with how tall he was. it made him feel awkward, like he took up more space than everyone else, like his existence was somehow louder, more noticeable, more inconvenient. he spent so much of his life trying to make himself smaller, folding himself into corners, hunching his shoulders, keeping his elbows tucked close so they would never accidentally brush against someone else’s.
he spoke just above a whisper because anything louder felt like drawing attention to himself. sometimes he would hold his saliva because he was convinced people would hear him swallow. he sat through boiling classrooms with his jumper still on because taking it off meant long limbs and awkward movements, meant the possibility of knocking into someone’s arm. he hesitated before taking off his backpack, before reaching for his water bottle, before doing anything that required him to move, terrified that he would somehow get in someone’s way.
before sirius came into his life and showed him that he could be beautiful exactly as he was, remus lupin wasn’t even sure he was comfortable with existing at all
sirius and remus playing mario kart after dinner and the loser does the dishes but its remus who always lets himself get lose on purpose so sirius doesnt have to wash them
