#pining!remus

Hi! 😃

I was wondering if you could find me 2 fics?

In the first one, remus is really upset since Sirius is always so touchy-feely with everyone else but not with him, and goes to confront Sirius while he is with james, and than i think Sirius tries to explain it by kissing him

In the second one, i dont remember that much detail, but basically Sirius confess his feelings to remus and remus is really confused and rejects him, and then james talks to remus and makes him realise that he does in fact have feelings towards sirius that are more than just friendship.

Sorry for the very long question 😅 than you!

Hi anon🌸

For the first one, it doesn’t include the confrontation scene in front of James — but this is only fic like this I could think of:

Tried and Tested, by Remy_Writes5 (3k)

The one person Remus wants to be close to is the one person who won't touch him.

EDIT: @shitttttyteen found the right one! It’s:

Every Time We (Don't) Touch, by Marie_Tomas (6k)

By the time he reaches his fifth year at Hogwarts, Remus has started to realize that Sirius isn't very affectionate with him.

To make matters worse, Sirius is affectionate with all of his other close friends, especially James, causing Remus to feel a strange sense of jealousy.

When Remus confronts Sirius about his lack of affection, Sirius's response is rather...unexpected.

As for the second one, I’m not completely sure either. There could probably be quite a few fics like that, but the one that popped into my head is:

Well, We're Mates, by heart_axe (8k)

"Do you want my honest opinion? I think you'd make a pretty shit boyfriend."

Or, Sirius asks Remus out. Remus rejects. They continue on like idiots for a few days, then things get sorted.

Anyone else got any better suggestions?

No Matter the Wreckage

by @greyeyedmonster-18 (88k)

His first summer at the Potters after fifth year--the year of fistfights in hallways, chugging firewhiskey straight from the bottle, too much smoke, exam pressure, scathing letters from his parents, and a careless prank that nearly cost him his friends--was nothing short of painful and illuminating. Sirius Black returns for his sixth year at Hogwarts with longer hair, determined to be different.

A story on learning how to love, how to exist, how to be different through cracks and leaks. A story about love no matter the wreckage.

General themes/feeling: Hogwarts era, hurt/comfort, friendship, child abuse, trauma, healing, friends to lovers, slow burn.

Let me tell you about the grip that @greyeyedmonster-18 has on my heart! She really (REALLY) knows how to write, in such a way that it just makes me feel so much! It’s like when she writes a story, it’s always so much more than a story. Oh, how I love it!

This is a very Sirius-focused fic, even though there are parts from Remus’ POV. It’s very focused on Sirius’ past trauma and healing, his feelings and development - and it’s done beautifully. I’ve had a bit of a rough time lately, and let me tell you that reading this felt a lot like healing together with Sirius. It was so incredibly comforting to slowly experience his attempts to learn to accept and love himself, and to accept others’ love for him.

This fic is, of course, also a beautiful story of wolfstar getting together - as you might have guessed. It is something that happens incredibly slowly, and so very naturally. It’s not a fic of excruciating pining or jealousy (although Remus does pine quite a bit…). It’s more about healing, about Sirius slowly figuring out his feelings and letting a friendship turn into something new. It’s absolutely lovely!

To give you a taste:

“And Moony, of course, he’ll be there.”

Remus.

Still golden, but greying. Sirius could imagine the lines in Remus’s hands, knuckles scarred and fingers bit. Weathered and discolored and enchanting.

Will you still be smoking with me? 

“Yeah…Moony will be there.”

Go read this masterpiece right now!

Sirius is a trend setter. Sirius is a trend setter that doesn’t seem to notice it, or care, or make any comment towards the fact that he wore his hair in a ponytail last week and now half the school have styled their hair in exactly the same way.

Remus cares.

Urghhh this is so cute!! Remus being all jealous and oblivious—what more can you ask for? Oh how I adore him.

Boiling Point, by anniesj (8k)

Six hours stuck in a closet with someone you love -- it's the best kind of hell imaginable.

A much smuttier fic, but it’s also sweet and fluffy! Pining + close proximity + heat = yes please! Go read this!

Nineteen seventy-eight: there's beginnings and there's endings and there's love and elsewhere, there's war, and when you're seventeen and you're eighteen and you're Remus and you're Sirius, only some of these things are important.

General themes/feeling: pining, obliviousness, misunderstandings, a little bit of angst, happy ending.

I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS!

This little fic stole my heart. I’d sell my soul for it. It’s just so darn beautiful, sweet - it’s everything nice.

It’s a hogwarts era, 7th year, fic, with a mixed POV (Sirius and Remus). It includes: coming out, oblivious!Sirius, jealousy, figuring out one’s feelings, some quite big misunderstandings, and a LOT of pining. So basically, everything I want in a fic.

And it’s so well written??? I don’t understand. It must be sorcery - the prose is just fantastic! ✨ The characterisations? Incredible! The dialogue? Marvellous! The internal monologues? Hilarious! I genuinely sat smiling like a buffoon all throughout this fic. I totally felt smitten myself: reading this felt like being 17 and in love with your best friend.

So, if you want to have your heart melted, go right ahead and read this masterpiece of a fic!

A quote that had me laughing:

Marlene is watching him with the sort of pity one usually reserves for stray dogs, or idiots, which is a strange Venn diagram to be occupying the centre of.

A part that stole my heart:

Because Sirius would like to kiss him, now.

Which is terrible, because it’s not meant to go like this: the end of the world is not supposed to rock up in the common room, quietly one evening as an eyelash on Remus’ cheek. Nowhere – nowhere, had Sirius planned for that. And yet Remus is looking at him blankly and Sirius wants to kiss him more than anything and of course that isn’t supposed to happen – that can’t happen, since when did that happen, so how can this be anything less than the end of fucking everything?

Lots of love, Elliot🌸
