An AU - reverse wolfstar

((Inspired by the works of: @praecipiopatronum  @sirussly   @dontthinkonithermione @asktheboywholived  @siriussly-serious @ohtheclevernessofme1972  @softsiriusblack - they have varying levels of how active they are currently, but these are just a few of the creators whose content I have really enjoyed! 

My biggest wish is to be able to participate in the HP RP community. I love the idea of cosplaying and creating stories and worlds that are away from reality where things go the way you plan them (to a better degree than daily life). Since I can’t participate in the RP side, here’s my contribution to an AU I created a story around that I hope creators, writers, or anyone can enjoy using and playing with if they like it!))

The thing with Wolfstar that makes it work is this: they balance each other out. Sirius is confident in himself and his identity, he’s secure in himself. What he’s not secure in is his family, or where his identity stems from. Remus, on the other hand, is not secure in his identity at all. He sees himself as a monster, as dangerous, as a beast whose worth is titled by the number of X’s beside this species in a Magical Beasts textbook. But from what we know of his backstory, he is secure in where his identity stems from - his parents. We know they’re fiercely protective of their son, and they want him to have an ease to life that they all know isn’t feasible. It’s a balance of security of identity versus security of origin, or family. 

So, we must switch it. 

Lyall Lupin is a “world-renowned authority on Non-Human Spirituous Apparitions” (Harry Potter wiki) and his knowledge of dark creatures helped contain the threat of them during the prelude to the first wizarding war. He sat in on Greyback’s hearing, which not just anyone of the ministry would do. In canon, this is where he made a comment about werewolves deserving nothing but death, which caused Greyback to bite Remus in retaliation. 

But in this universe, Lyall was the one to find, and was one of the men to capture Greyback while he was off biting and killing muggles. He now can testify the facts that he knows to be true, that he has seen to be true, and suddenly his status of the ministry begins to rise. And sure, Greyback can testify with tears in his eyes that he is innocent, that he had no control, that he promises to keep himself away from people and they can let him go. But now Lyall has a higher position in his department, now he has higher power, and now he, a bloodtraitor, has power that he didn’t before. 

But this time, Orion Black is sitting in on the hearing as well. And before it starts, he makes a side comment about a filthy blood-traitor handling the work for a real wizard, and an argument spurs to a near-fight between Orion and Lyall. Lyall worked hard for his position, and his happy family has no business being in the mouth of a foul, dark, and insane wizard such as Orion. 

The Blacks hate that Lyall has power within the Ministry. The Lupins were purebloods before Lyall married Hope, a muggle, of all people. And Orion’s blood supremacist views show through. 

Lyall is removed from the courtroom and told to go home, finish more important work that he has. So he does, and his anger boils over to a shouting match against his wife and son, and he nearly breaks his desk in the process. 

That’s what Remus grows up with. The stress of Lyall’s job, the nasty words of distaste from pureblood families, from the Sacred 28, gets to his head, and all he can do is take it out in fights and shouting. So, like canon Sirius, Remus learns to hide how he hurts under a mask of confidence and ego. 

But Lyall hates this, he hates that his son doesn’t seem to care about anything, and soon, he’s telling Remus to stop being such a disappointment, that he needs to make something of his life. 

Remus is secure in himself, but his security in his parents is crumbling.

Now, the reason Orion was at the hearing is thus: the first war did not come out of nowhere. It took time for Voldemort to gain followers and it took time for dark wizards to come out of hiding. And the Blacks, holding the same ideals as the wrong side and being known for unorthodox uses of magic, while not all death-eaters are clear supporters of a growing threat. Fenrir Greyback hears of their support for a side ready to use violence to gain power, and wants an alliance.

If the werewolves can gain enough power, maybe they can overthrow Voldemort’s side and werewolves can now be the superior race. Canonically, that’s why he joined the death-eaters in canon. He doesn’t like wizards, but he likes getting what he wants. 

Of course, Orion and Walburga laugh in his face. They would never help a filthy half-breed and sully their reputation. They would never aid a disgusting breed who deserves to go back to the ground that gave them life. 

So Fenrir gets angry. He wants to show them that he cannot be walked all over. What better way to do that than to bite their eldest, their beloved heir?

Walburga and Orion try to hush it up. They get potions and charms and everything they can to make Sirius appear normal so that their reputation is upheld. As he grows older, he learns to trust his parents, that he’s safe with them. They don’t pay him much mind; its like a child hiding behind his mother’s leg and all she does is lay a hand on his hair and continue on her business. 

But because he has no security in himself, he doesn’t act out. He complies, and the Blacks never have a reason to hate their son. So he grows up secure with his family, but not in himself. 

After all, it’s a balancing act of security and not, and of finding security in each other.

You want prompts? Here you go! Wolfstar AU where they have just started dating, and Remus hasn't told Sirius about his furry little problem yet. Sirius gets bitten by a werewolf and freaks out because (on top of him being scared of the consequences of the bite) he's scared Remus will leave him

This is so so bad, and I might just delete this later. But, this is what my brain cooked up in the middle of the night.

I apologize in advance.

(Note: This is a world slightly different than the magical world of Harry Potter. Here, it’s non-magical human beings with no knowledge of the other side, while in shadows exist a world filled with Magical Creatures. They live in flow with humans, like werewolves, vampires, witches, shapeshifters, fairies, demons, ghouls etc.)

Sirius is a normal human.

He works as an ER nurse and he loves his job. It keeps him on his toes, he doesn’t mind the hours(on most days) and he loves the effort and the challenge of it.

One day, he meets a patient who has come in with bruised ribs and a dislocated shoulder.

And on that day, for the first time, Sirius fails to maintain his professional composure.

Because there is something about this patient that is quite intriguing and Sirius can’t seem to take his eyes off of him.

The patient (Lupin, R - as per his chart) has an ashen look to his skin and sunken eyes and looks about to fall apart but the brilliant gleam in his eyes that Sirius can only describe as glowing amber, a quiet strength to him and a weird tolerance for pain cause bells to ring in Sirius’ mind but he can’t seem to put a finger on why.

Despite his own internal struggle, Sirius goes about his duty, ordering tests, consulting the physician and discharging the patient when its time with proper instructions to be followed.

Once Sirius is done with the instructions, Lupin steps forward to thank him in a hoarse voice with those damnable eyes boring into Sirius’ own.

And then he is gone.

And Sirius only has a few minutes to stand there dumbstruck before duty calls and he’s back into the grind.

But, Sirius never seems to get Lupin out of his mind.

Days go by and on his off day Sirius decides to visit the Carnie book festival and runs into Lupin.

“Uh, Lupin. Hi”

“Call me Remus,” is the response with a feral grin showing too sharp teeth and gleaming eyes.

And, just like that Sirius is swept in.

They spend the day with one another, debating authors and books, recalling some of the funniest and the weirdest scenarios they have come across and Sirius can’t believe he’s actually having a great time.

They make plans for a movie night because Sirius has never seen ‘The Godfather’ but he has read the books but according to Remus that’s no excuse.

The movie night leads to a coffee date nearby Sirius’ hospital which then leads to a dinner date at Sirius’ apartment and weeks fly by as they fall more and more for each other with each passing day.

Or, at least, that’s what Sirius hopes is happening. For a workaholic loner like him, to have found someone like Remus who ticks all the boxes on Sirius’ list and is someone Sirius gets along with so well, he really desperately wishes that that is what is happening between them.

And it is, it’s true on both sides and Remus hates it.

Remus hates how quickly and irrevocably he is falling for Sirius.

Because what Sirius doesn’t know is that Remus is a werewolf.

A werewolf who is answerable to a pack and its leader.

Remus has been a werewolf for as long as he can remember. Despite growing up in the human world, Remus has always been tethered to this part of life and for him, Sirius is like a breath of fresh air.

And soon, it becomes an issue with his pack and his leader who is adamant about keeping their secret a secret. No human can know of their existence.

And Remus soon finds himself split between his heart and his duty.

And he follows his heart.

Months into their relationship, they have a steady equation going. Remus lives in bliss with Sirius. He himself working as a rare items collector can make up stories for when he needs to get away for his transformations and with Sirius’ work schedule none’s the wiser and life soon settles into a dream.

And it’s very easy to forget about the world when one’s living in a dream.

A pack war occurs between Remus’ pack and the Fangdeclan pack from the south over territory.

For which Remus is not present and his pack loses quite spectacularly.

Resentment rises in the ranks and the mate of one of the werewolves who died blames Remus and as an act of revenge decides to go after Sirius on the next full moon.

Not aware of the danger to his boyfriend, Remus leaves on one of his “trips” the following moon while Sirius has to cover shifts at the hospital.

Coming back to his apartment late into the night Sirius is attacked in the alley behind their housing complex.

Sirius, high on adrenaline, manages to escape and runs into the building and soon, into his apartment.

Panicking and panting, Sirius reaches into his denim pocket to call the police only for his fingers to come away coated in blood.

That is when he realizes the sharp sting running up and down his left thigh and he looks down to inspect and finds a vicious bite mark there.

And Sirius is scared, so, so scared and the adrenaline starts to wear off and mind-numbing pain settles in. He doesn’t understand what is happening, all of a sudden feeling extremely light-headed, failing in his attempts to call for help, he passes out.

And wakes with the moonset the following morning.

Feeling extremely groggy and downright weird, and unable to fathom the events that occured because looking down his injury is healed and all that’s left is the deep indentations of razor sharp teeth of the bite etched into his thigh.

He goes to the hospital and gets himself checked to find that he is in perfect health but he knows he’s not.

The smells in the hospital, having never bothered him before, assault his senses like a bulldozer. The smell of blood causes bile to rise in the back of his throat  and he has to get out of there.

His hearing is wonky and he can’t seem to keep steady hands. His vision keeps blurring in and out and somehow he finds his way back to the apartment.

Feeling dizzy and nauseated, unable to even think about eating something, he falls back asleep.

Upon awakening, all Sirius can obsess over is the bizarreness of everything and is so worried about Remus finding out. Because all Sirius can imagine is that this looks and sounds crazy to any sane person.

It’s not like Sirius can go into a police station and report of a wild animal attack, that may or may not have poisoned him with something, in the back alley of his apartment. He lives in the middle of a metropolitan city damnit.

It’s not like Sirius can say he’s hearing things, sounds and voices from far off and that his senses are going crazy. He knows if he had a patient who came in complaining like this, it’s off to the Psych ward.

So Sirius does the one thing that makes sense right now and that is to avoid everything and everyone.

He ignores Remus’ calls and messages enough to prompt his boyfriend to show up at his doorstep refusing to budge.

Finally, unable to hold it in, Sirius recounts what happened and how weird he’s feeling and everything and how insane all this sounds, he knows that, he does but Sirius begs Remus to understand that this is the truth because he is freaking out.

And to say Remus is dumbstruck is an understatement. He soon reconnects the dots and realises what has happened and he blurts out the truth about himself and the nature of the bite.

Sirius doesn’t believe him at first. Because Sirius thought he was going insane and compared to Remus’ answer, Sirius theories were far better of. But, when he does he blows over, because his feelings and emotions and his senses are all over the place and throws Remus out of the apartment.

Remus feels so guilty for being the cause of this happening to Sirius and he goes to the werewolf who did this to Sirius and picks a fight with them because Sirius had nothing to do with this and he was innocent.

His pack leader however breaks the fight up and urges him to bring Sirius in, stating what’s done is done.

Remus then reaches out to Sirius and says that Remus apologises, promising to help him and repeats a million times how he never wanted this to happen to Sirius and no matter how scared Sirius is, Remus assures him that he won’t let anything happen to him.

Utterly defeated, wanting more answers and seeing no way out, Sirius accepts. They talk and Remus explains about his pack, it’s dynamics, about mates, the effects the moon has on other nights it’s not full and the curse.

Somewhere in the middle, unable to help himself. Sirius makes a joke of whether he gets a new name now remarking on Remus’ name being tied to a wolf. Letting out a laugh, Remus replies that that’s not how it works and it was just his luck to be named Remus from the beginning.

He explains the nature of his “trips”, how Remus was bitten and what it’s gonna be like.

They even delve into talking about modern depictions of a werewolf in stories to how it actually is.

They talk, a lot. Sirius having to quit his job because he still can’t settle his senses.

And they prepare for the coming full moon.

They drive up to a private farmland spanning acres long.

Remus explains how the land belongs to an owner who himself is a lycanthrope and opens it up for any werewolf in the territory during the moons.

As they settle onto the ground awaiting the moonrise, Remus cannot take his eyes off Sirius.

As the first jolt of pain seizes him, Sirius let’s out a small groan shutting his eyes tight. Remus moves closer to him, as he is used to this for far too long. These small jolts are nothing compared to what’s actually coming and Remus wants to make it as easier as he can for Sirius, knowing it’s gonna be futile because soon Remus won’t be able to do anything. But he tries, if not anything then to let Sirius know he isn’t alone.

He places an arm over Sirius’ and Sirius immediately grabs onto his like a lifeline, eyes still shut tight. With teeth grit tight, Sirius enquires, “it’s gonna get worse isn’t it?”

“Yes,” Remus confirms without any sugar-coating because it’s not gonna help anyone.

Sirius hums in response as he relaxes back against the bark of the tree and slowly opens his eyes to meet Remus’

He smiles a sad sort of smile in return.

Soon they both are overtaken by the agony, feeling their bodies shift and twist. And where once sat two men, now holds two wolves standing proud sniffing one another curiously.

It’s a sight to behold, where Remus is all gold and brown fur, lithe long body; Sirius is sleek black fur coated around a muscular physique.

Where Remus’ hazel eyes take on a golden glow, Sirius’ grey eyes become glowing silver orbs, not unlike the full plump moon that stands witness to their curse time and time again.

And with that, a new chapter begins…

Only when they are back into their human shells does Sirius finally understand the instant connection and intrigue he had felt upon meeting Remus for the first time.

Even as a human, he had felt the faint echo of their bond.

And now as a werewolf, he could finally feel the tugging at his heart, the bond of a mate finally found.

‘The Moon That Breaks’ fic preview!

Coming soon to an AO3 near you, another hella long, hella angsty wolfstar fic from yours truly! The Moon That Breaks is a fic set in 1977, when the Marauders are sixth-years at Hogwarts. Remus and Sirius are a recently established couple, still very much in the honeymoon stage. But when a bit of hormonally-motivated irresponsibility winds up with Sirius being bitten and infected by Remus, there’s devastating fallout. My take on a werewolf!Sirius AU is angsty and introspective, full of self-loathing, mutual pining, internalized prejudice, and coping with the aftermath of trauma and lots of other fun stuff like that. Not to mention character loyalties shifting in the crucible of oncoming war, a good deal of brooding chainsmoking, and lots of wolfstar feels set to so much ‘70s music that some scenes bear a resemblance to the songfics of yore.

Keep an eye out for Chapter One later this week!

SNEAK PEEK:

Remus rolled onto his left side and said to the velvet hangings, in the same soft voice he might have used if Sirius were laying in the bed with him, “You haven’t lost your best mate.”

For a second of simultaneous relief and disappointment, he thought that Sirius had already fallen asleep and had not actually heard him, but then came the small squeak of bedsprings and Remus knew Sirius had turned towards him. His heart lurched painfully in his chest over boundary the bed hangings made, over the small and yet vast distance between them, “Unless you mean Prongs, and I know you don’t,” Sirius said, haltingly, “I sort of have. I… you haven’t said ten words to me, Moony, since…” there was a soft rustle as Sirius fidgeted, admitted, “I miss you, you wanker.”

“I miss you, too,” Remus responded immediately, hoping his breathless voice wouldn’t bely just how much, just how desperately, he did.

“You know, when I first found out you were a werewolf,” Sirius said, his voice uncharacteristically small in the darkness, “I accepted it. Immediately. Even with all the bigoted rubbish I’d heard against werewolves my entire life. I,” he hesitated so long Remus thought he might have given up on finishing the sentence, and then he tacked on, brokenly, “I didn’t think you’d reject me over the same, if it were the other way 'round.”

“Sirius,” Remus said, his hands fisting in his blankets against the urge to clamber out of bed and go kiss some sense into him, “That’s not what happened.”

“I s’pose it’s not,” Sirius admitted, lightly, without conviction, “But it feels rather like crap either way.”
