Remus Lupin is supposed to spend a mundane Christmas back home after wrapping up his latest project. When an unexpected snowstorm cancels Sirius Black's flight, he has no choice but to bring him with him. What follows is a series of events that really should only unfold in the movies, and Remus may just find himself falling head-over-heels in love with a movie star.
Not Quite Dead Yet (Wolfstar, Completed RSBB, Bring Back Black)
Sirius Black went through the veil and has been presumed dead ever since. The last thing Remus should expect is to run into him on a sweaty dance floor.
Or, Remus Lupin stumbles across a club that promises to connect mortals with the afterlife. When he meets Sirius there, however, it quickly becomes clear that he isn't quite dead, and that Remus might have the chance to bring him back for good.
Fine China (Wolfstar, Completed, Smutty One-Shot)
“Is this where I admit to a professor kink?” Sirius asks cheekily. As the words come out of his mouth he realizes he must still be drunk. Remus must be, too. He laughs loudly until Sirius darts up to cover his mouth with his hand.
“You better not.”
“No. But,” he cranes up, muscles in his abs straining, to press their mouths together, whispering when the kiss breaks, “the jumper really does it for me.”
Or,
Lily hosts a disastrous dinner party and Sirius Black meets the love of his life (and learns he has a jumper kink).
The Road to Thistle Creek (Wolfstar, Ongoing WIP)
Sirius knew the invasion was coming. He just didn’t expect it to hit while chaperoning his sixth-grade class. When the father of one of his students is late to pick him up, his plans to escape are thwarted, and he’s forced to take the two of them with him on his long drive to safety.

(in order of ship [dramione, nottpott, jegulus, and wolfstar] and then word count. new additions are categorized with an asterisk.)
Dramione
your lonely calls to me - senlinyu (3,085)
“Less than a year post-war, trainee healer Hermione Granger visits Azkaban to perform volunteer medical check-ups and finds something she isn't intended to see, and has no choice but to do something about it.”
Break the Ward - thisisnotadance (6,499)
“So, you like this skirt then?” She asked with a smirk.
“They should throw me in Azkaban for the things I want to do to you in that skirt.”
The Wizard from A.U.R.O.R. - Wanderingfair (6,836)
“OR The one where Hermione asks a simple favour as she and Draco confront their unresolved feelings for each other immediately before an important mission.”
The Seduction - senlinyu (11,686)
“Hermione’s expression grew indignant but Draco ignored it and pressed on.
“I am trying to seduce you,” he said, staring her straight in the eye. Her indignation faded as her mouth dropped open and her eyes slowly grew round.”
Season Pass (To This Ass) - mightbewriting (16,390)
“[In which Hermione dumps a Quidditch fan and dates a Quidditch player instead. Spite is a beautiful motivator.]”
Ardent Bonds - Musyc (16,741)
“Maybe it was wrong to think about this, maybe it was horrible to even consider, but if Draco Malfoy liked to dominate, she couldn't stop herself from picturing it. Picturing him.”
Sated Thirst - Notawriter_17 (17,415)
“A story told in three parts. Ron. Theo. Draco. Hermione's journey into the world of BDSM and sexual enlightenment.”
Seven Times Seven - steely (21,589)
“Hermione had expected some level of resistance from Draco at her incarceration, but not to this extreme. He was unraveling himself while desperately trying to keep her together.”
* The Tie that Binds - EvergreenTuesdays (22,526)
"Narcissa Malfoy struck a bargain with Albus Dumbledore before he died—that at an unspecified pivotal moment, she would turn the tide of the war, ensuring Voldemort’s downfall. In exchange, her son Draco would be married to the Golden Girl immediately following the war, guaranteeing her family’s return to grace." (READ TAGS!)
Five Months Until Summer - allofthelights11 (27,464)
“She's tried three times over holiday break and it hasn't worked out. Now she has a little more than five months until summer when she can try again.”
Ten Out of Ten - morriganmercy (61,559
“In which Hermione is determined to find a loophole to free her from a forced marriage with Draco Malfoy. But with only two weeks until they are legally required to consummate, it would be irresponsible not to prepare for every contingency.”
Lose Control - madrose_writing (70,082)
“In Elysium, that girl behind the white mask, begging for permission to come undone could be the Golden Girl. That man behind the black mask making her beg could be the Boy Who Had No Choice. In Elysium, anonymity is key. If you could be anyone, who would you be?”
Private Tutor - allofthelights11 (77,407)
“That time Hermione offered to give Draco Malfoy some much-needed sexual experience.”
Wait and Hope - mightbewriting (94,946)
“[In which Hermione loses the last six year's worth of her memories, including the entirety of her relationship and marriage to Draco.]”
A Season for Setting Fires - mightbewriting (95,639)
“[In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.]”
Between Certifiable and Bliss - HeyJude19 (97,712)
“In the ensuing years, he did not need to constantly remember that blissful, impossible dream. He further did not need Potter bursting into his mostly turned-around life to embroil him in a conspiracy at Azkaban. And he definitely did not need to embark on a clandestine investigation into prisoner mistreatment with Hermione Granger.”
* FAILSAFE - Hypothetically (99,476)
"Professor McGonagall didn’t know that Hogwarts had a Failsafe. The Spell she used to protect the students triggered the castle to protect itself. It’s been creating labyrinths. Some of the loved ones of the missing ventured in, never to be seen again. It’s like they never left. Draco Lucius Malfoy, the verdict alteration comes with a stipulation that you must return for the rehabilitation of Hogwarts."
The Injury of Finally Knowing You - VanillaSage (123,751)
“10 years ago, tucked away in a secret room during their Eighth Year at Hogwarts, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy fell in love. 10 years later, the echoes of how that young love burned down still haunt them when, on the day of her divorce, Hermione stumbles upon her old flame once again.”
Meet Me In Dreamland - sinflower81 (126,169)
“A Post-Hogwarts fic in which Hermione and Draco fuck (a lot) without realizing it. Alternating POVs, kinky combos, and a dramatic, spice-driven plot.”
Rosemary for Remembrance - rubber_soul02 (167,789)
“A post-war, slow-burn, enemies to lovers Dramione story about healing, redemption, and second chances. Featuring a full cast of your favourite snarky Slytherins.”
Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Loveisthisselfcare (199,548)
“Hermione straddles the Muggle and Magical worlds as a medical researcher and Healer about to make a big discovery. Draco is an Auror assigned to protect her from forces unknown – to both of their displeasure.”
Bring Him To His Knees - Musyc (246,526)
“Draco is on the case of a murderer, but to investigate, he needs a fake relationship - and a kink club play partner. When Hermione volunteers to take the role, both do their best to maintain the lie without letting each other know the truth: neither of them are acting.”
A Game of High Stakes - In_Dreaming (263,110)
“In theory, the task is simple: kill Draco Malfoy. In practice, putting a curse through the Dark Lord's favoured lieutenant will take everything Hermione has―especially since he's trying to kill her, too. Even more so when the lines between them start to blur. Sometimes, the only way out is through.”
Manacled - senlinyu (370,515)
“Harry Potter is dead. In the aftermath of the war, in order to strengthen the might of the magical world, Voldemort enacts a repopulation effort. Hermione Granger has an Order secret, lost but hidden in her mind, so she is sent as an enslaved surrogate to the High Reeve until her mind can be cracked.”
NottPott
Chaperones - RoseHarperMaxwell (5,561)
“I'm going to court Granger," Draco said around a mouthful of toothpaste. He spat into their sink and rinsed his mouth, leaning against the doorframe with a casual air that belied the enormity of such a statement. "We need you to be our chaperone."
Theo closed his astronomy textbook, using a thumb to hold his place. "I'm sorry, what?”
Draco nodded, as though he'd expected disbelief. "Courting Granger. That's something I'm doing now."
No Expectations - In_Dreams (6,963)
“To avoid attending Hermione's promotion dinner solo after a breakup, Harry agrees to a blind date for appearances only. But his resolve crumbles when his arranged date is the disdainfully gorgeous Theo Nott.”
Jegulus
Taking Care - Quietlemonhush (5,084)
“James learns lessons about how to love Regulus.”
The First Person You Loved - Anonymous (8,539)
“Regulus shows up at the Potters' house bleeding and hurt, which reveals something about James' relationship with him to Sirius.”
As if Through Water - third_crow (8,611)
“Or, Regulus learns he and James have more in common than he thought”
* pretty as a peach, bruised like one too - completefailure (29,976)
"From the moment Lord Voldemort had laid eyes upon a stiff backed and scared Regulus, he had been doomed. Sometimes the only way out is through." (READ TAGS!)
* definition of insanity - bizarrestars (54,800)
"(Or, the one where Regulus flirts a little too close to the sun and loves getting burned.)"
The Mystery of Pears - sonwar (89,958)
“In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone. Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.”
Pathological People Pleaser - rweoutofthewoods (114,435)
“(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)”
* To the boy who… - ibbsterkisster (238,799)
"Or; the one where Regulus gets forced out of hiding to face the world, make the right but painful decisions, and fights with more than just one Dark Lord." (READ TAGS!)
* chew me up, but don’t spit me out - damagecontrol (261,000)
"Or, this is a story about identity, addiction, self-expression, and love in all of the varying shapes they can take."
Wolfstar
* The Ink Around Our Scars - Written_Willis (10,876)
"Sirius is a tattoo artist that specializes in clients with scarring. In walks Remus Lupin and his damn eyes and flirty smirk causing Sirius to forget his own name. Add in some daddy Regulus and James, Barty and Evan being Barty and Evan, a bit of toddler Harry, and a touch of misunderstanding."
* Underglass - Anonymous (24,496)
"King of the low-down, lord of mud and everything beneath the surface—Remus Lupin is the king of sordid exchanges happening under the Death Eaters’ noses. Nobody has ever been able to make a feint at him and survive to tell the tale. But when an intruder drops in, unexpected and wholly disarming, everything tilts just so on its axis and might tumble the lot of it to ash."
that’s the art of getting by - sarewolf (40,459)
“What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.
“Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”
A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”
* At The Healing Edge of Broken - heartofspells (191,322)
"Sirius is a pro football star who finds himself injured. Through a recommendation from Lily, Remus becomes his physiotherapist. Or: Sirius is flying high on success until it all crashes down around him, but he realizes that maybe crashing doesn't always mean the end to everything. Someone's there to throw him a life preserver. He only needs to open his eyes to find it." (READ TAGS!)
★ Marauders (mostly wolfstar) fics I have enjoyed recently ★
I think most people are already familiar with these, but I figured I’d compile a list for at least my own sake, if not for the fuck of it. No particular order, just whichever one popped into my mind first. Also I almost exclusively read regular magical fics, not muggle aus, though sometimes I will branch out.
1.) The Horcrux Hunt - lostmy_keys
He is a Slytherin, a Black, and an ex-Death Eater. Of course he makes it out of the cave.
Regulus sets out to destroy the Dark Lord's Horcrux with no one but a house-elf to help, until he realises his task is bigger than he alone can handle. Reluctantly he turns to the only man Voldemort fears for assistance - Dumbledore - who loans out his pet wolf for the job, much to Regulus's dismay. Together they embark on a hunt for Horcruxes - a long and arduous journey that both makes friendships and destroys them. And a few people get hurt along the way.
Slowburn Wolfstar, Regulus character development, a very flirty (but platonic) Regulus and Remus friendship, and a canonically manipulative Dumbledore.
This is by far one of my recent favourites. It’s too good. I’m not super into jegulus, but if that’s your thing, the sequel has them as a kind of background development :]
2.) Let Nothing You Dismay - montparnasse
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.
I bookmarked this with a note saying “this writing style is gorjus. Gongepus” at 1:30 in the morning, and that’s all I have to say about that.
3.) disintegration - moonymoment
Okay I won’t even bother putting the summary here, almost everyone has read it, it’s fantastic. Knife cutting vampire themed sexual tension, kak long too. Sound good? Lekker. Thought so.
4.) Stealing Harry (and its subsequent cinematic universe) - copperbadge
On a dark night long ago, Sirius Black took a wrong turn and never found Peter Pettigrew. Instead of Azkaban, Sirius settled down in Little Whinging to keep an eye on his godson, and hired Remus Lupin to run his bookshop for him. Then one day when Harry was eight, Sirius found out how the Dursleys treated him, and stole him away.
I’m going to make a whole separate post about this one because it’s a work of art. It’s so sweet. Ahh. It’s an iconic old series too, started before I even existed. It’s been one of my favourite things as of late. I wish it had been completed, but I also love it as it is, and I don’t feel I need any more than that. The first story is beautiful, but frankly it’s the alternative universe which comes after that I keep rereading. So so so so so good.
5.) Remain in Light - veeagainst
What if Sirius Black didn’t die? It’s been done many times. Here’s my take on it.
One of the best “wolfstar kind of adopts Harry” sorts of stories in my opinion, and done so in such a graceful way too. Blood sweat tears and six whole years (!!!!) of writing went into this thing and you can really see how no word was wasted. What a beautiful story
6.) The Bent - earlybloomingparenthesis
1985, London. The wizarding queer art scene revolves around a gallery called the Bent, where conceptual artist Remus Lupin and photographer Sirius Black exhibit their works, and a club called the Bush, where they spend time with Jane and Lily Potter, who work at a nearby heath clinic. Although war with Voldemort was averted, the wizarding world is still simmering with tension. In the face of increasing intolerance and calls for censorship, Remus’ art takes a riskier, more political turn, and he must figure out how to balance self-expression and safety. Also, he might be falling in love with his best friend.
It’s been a while since something ive read has caused my to need to go on a walk and just think. This story will make you do that. Queer truths and families and mess and art. That’s it that’s the book. It’s one of the nine fics I’ve thrown into my “lifechanging fanfics” collection and it’s there for a REASON! You will not regret reading it.
Still having a bit of fandom fatigue. Been revisiting favourite podfics of fandoms past, did a rewatch of Black Sails (which is still heart-renderingly brilliant) and read very few fics.
6x HP (drarry, wolfstar, Regulus); 2x RWRB (firstprince)
Harry Potter
🦴 Adagio by @thecouchsofa (Drarry, E, 3,7k)
The best time to do it is when Draco’s just waking up, his limbs loose and his hair mussed from sleep.
❤️🩸your body an open hand by @eleadore (Drarry, E, 18k)
Draco had imagined Potter in various states of distress for months: cowering in a corner, covered in blood; dirt under his nails and bits of gore in his unkempt beard; crying, sometimes, alone in the dark. The man in front of him wasn't any of those things. He'd been eating well, apparently.
Holy shit. This is incredible. I need more gory, messy vampire fics.
🐕 Just, now by yeats (Regulus & Sirius, G, 3k)
After his father's funeral, Regulus receives a guest.
I'm a sucker for Regulus and padfoot meeting.
🐞 these lines are begging me to cross by tonberrys (Regulus & Barty Jr, T, 4,7k)
The Mark of Lord Voldemort's chosen brings with it certain responsibilities, and while other students relax and enjoy the 1978 Christmas holidays, Regulus and Barty are taught the three Unforgivable Curses with Bellatrix as their guide. (The Cause would pause for no one, student or not.)
☃️ A bright particular star by torch (Wolfstar, M, 24,7k)
Remus and Sirius celebrate their last Christmas at Hogwarts.
Very sweet getting-together fic.
⚖️ [podfic] Common Woodbrown read by RevolutionaryJo / written by imochan (Wolfstar, M, 3:42h)
Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there. In 1985, Remus Lupin realizes that Sirius Black is innocent. Now, he just has to prove it.
RWRB
👻 miss you to death by smc_27 (Alex/Henry, M, 6,7k)
He’s hallucinating - maybe still drunk when he wakes up - because when he opens his eyes he sees Henry Fox lying next to him, blue eyes sleepy and soft, creases on his cheek from the pillow.
Alex would think it was real if he hadn’t put the bullet in Henry Fox’s head himself.
👨🎓 The importance of the 'recall email' feature by clottedcreamfudge (Alex/Henry, E, 9,6k)
"What did that email even say?" Bea interrupts him again, and he glares at her.
"He was asking for an extension."
"Scandalous," she says drily, and he rolls his eyes, stealing the umbrella from her mocktail and wondering whether or not he could use it to end his misery.
"He... addressed me in a fairly comical way. It was quite rude, but apparently unintentional. We've all been there."
Pez nods solemnly. "I once called my tutor 'Carrie' when in fact her name was 'Carey'. Incredibly embarrassing. I couldn't look her in the eye for a week."
"Er, yes," Henry says haltingly. "Yes, just like that."
Read it for the snappy dialogue, Henry's hilarious inner monologuing and off-the-charts sexual chemistry.
