Can you please help me find a fic I already read?

I read it on AO3, it had Sirius as a famous actor and Remus and James as his best friends. Remus ends up moving into Sirius' place to save money as Sirius is always travelling for work. They start sharing a bed because the other room is used as an office and Sirius isnt there all the time so it "just makes sense." I am sure it had Jily in also. Remus was also an author? It was modern day non magical AU. I read it within the last year but definitely in the last 2. I am sure it had fake dating trope in there as well *I think*

I have been thinking about it a lot recently and cant for the life of me remember what it was called.

Thank you!! <3

Happy to help! Your description made this fic easy to find, and it's one I REALLY enjoyed reading.

Step & Repeat by @theresthesnitch

A banner with a repeating motif or picture that is used as a backdrop for pictures, like for a red carpet.

The act of actually falling in love with your celebrity best friend while being his fake boyfriend on said red carpet while the whole world thinks you’re already in love. Or, at least, that’s how it happened to Remus. Notes:

This Halloween jokebook I found at work says it was because “he robbed a blood bank” but I think it might have had more to do with all those people he killed

Hiya! Can you help me find a fic?

Modern AU Remus and Sirius meet at an airport after Remus swipes left to him on tinder. The flight gets delayed a long while and the spend the whole time becoming friends, they then find out they both know lily and James and that’s most of what I remember… they end up not going on the plane and instead go on a date (Sirius also ended up like BREAKING HIS ANKLE SOMEHOW) it was such a good fic and I have been looking for it forever!

It was really fluffy and had no smut, I can’t remember the rating.. sorry!

I read it on ao3

Thanks for the help (and the fic recommendations!)

Hope you enjoy revisiting this ADORABLE fic!

Swipe Left for Safety by @remywrites5 His finger hesitated over a picture of someone who absolutely couldn’t be real. He had long, dark hair that fell well past his shoulders and grey eyes that Remus thought must have been either contact lenses or photoshopped. High cheekbones and sinful lips the man looked like a model. Remus was not about to get catfished by a picture that was probably of someone famous that he just didn’t recognize. Besides, what kind of a name was Sirius anyway? It was obviously fake.

He swiped left. Not today, Satan.

“Hard pass on that guy, huh?” Someone said from above Remus. “Ouch.”

Hi! I'm trying to find a wolfstar fic I read earlier this year.

Here's all the information I remember about it:

- it was on ao3

- I don't remember the rating, I don't think there was any smut in it tho

- it was remus, lily, Alice, frank, moody, and Marlene working at an antarctica lab. Sirius and James were videographers making a documentary about them and their work.

-lily was a botanist. Remus was the director of the whole lab. Remus had a fear of going back to the mainland because of something that happened with his dad. Remus used a typewriter and was always awake super early (or he went to bed super late I don't remember)

-It was angst and fluff I think. Remus was a very reserved but sirius was whipped for him from the beginning

-it took place in antarctica, or some other very cold location. The fic lasted the duration of about a year. There was a boat that they took out to plot herds of whales or something.

-it was a muggle au

Hope this helps!! And thank you.

This is VERY helpful and a fic the Librarian absolutely adores. Below you'll find the fic, a book I think you might really like as it also takes place at the south pole research station.

“Lupin didn’t seem pleased that I was filming last night,” Sirius said lightly.

“Most people that come here…” Lily spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully, “Remus put it like this to me once: most people who choose to spend years of their life so far from civilization have a reason for leaving it behind. Remus wanted someone like us and he held out for so long because he expected he would get sent a bunch of finicky artsy types. I don’t think he expected you. And now that you’re here, I don’t think he quite knows what to do with you.”

When wildlife filmmaker Sirius Black arrives on a remote Antarctic island for a year-long assignment, he isn't phased by the freezing wind, the perpetual darkness, or the hostility he meets from some of the biologists at the research base. He is used to living an itinerant existence. He is comfortable with unforgiving conditions. He expects the world to treat him harshly. But he does not expect to fall in love.

I read this fic and I didn’t get to save it and now I can’t find it but Remus is trying to stop smoking so he’s using suckers but Sirius keeps taking them out of his mouth please help

Here ya go!

candy crush by @bizarrestars "Come on, Moony," Sirius needles, softening his voice the way he does when he's at a pub, flirting on purpose. He curls his fingers along Remus' jaw, tracing a soft line to his chin, reaching up to tap the side of the lolly's stick. "I can't have any?"

"You can have your own, if you want one so badly," Remus mutters, and his voice drops lower, too, matching Sirius', except rougher. His gaze roams Sirius' face, which means he's not completely oblivious to the fact that Sirius is up to something. He's not stopping it, though, so that's enough for Sirius to keep right on going.

"I don't want my own; I want yours. It's always better when it's yours," Sirius murmurs, and when he tugs gently on the stick of the lolly, Remus' teeth clamp down on it, flashing incisors. Sirius sees it happen, and his stomach gives a very visceral flip.

(Remus is trying to quit smoking, so he can almost always be found with a lolly sticking out of his mouth, which wouldn't necessarily be an issue if Sirius didn't constantly steal them.)

hello! I'm looking for a fic I read a while ago, that I just can't seem to find.

Sirius and James are Videographers/filming a Dokumentation about something on an Island, where a group of scientists(?), researchers live in a cabin. Currently living on that Island are Remus, Lily, Frank, Alice and I think also Marlene and Dorcas.

And Remus is really grumpy and not at all welcoming in the beginning but then he and Sirius just spend every day together and in the end they go back to London together. I don't remember more details, just that Remus is researching Orcas I think.

I would appreciate it sooo much if you could take the time to search for it, I will too.

Thank you :)

Hello friend! I'm 95% sure your fic is the one below. It features a grumpy Remus who's studying pseudorca crassidens (false killer whales, and lives in a cabin in Antarctica with other researchers, and Sirius is documenting their work for a film.
