the wolfstar cupboard

Just your run-of-the-mill wolfstar fanfiction library. (Finally open!) Request a fic! ৹ Masterlist ৹ Rec Lists

[the-wolfstar-cupboard]

Hello! Welcome to the Wolfstar Cupboard, an active wolfstar fanfiction library!

GUIDELINES:

As of right now, I am only recommending fics off of AO3 (Archive of Our Own) because that is the site I prefer. That does not mean I won't check out some other popular sites in the future, but at the moment, I'd like to stick with the one I know best(:

I will NOT read fics containing:

Rape/Non-Con

M-Preg or A/B/O

Ageplay

Beastiality

Pedophila

Glorification of Cheating

WIPs

Please do not harass me over the fics I like or recommend! These are just some of my favorites, and not everyone has the same taste. Let's please keep everything positive<33 (Except for the fics. We love some good angst.)

FIC REQUESTS

If you look at my pages (in the blog description on mobile) you will find a Request a fic! page. There, you can recommend ME a fic to read, or request a category for a rec list! They can be as niche as you want, but if I can't find anything, I'll still post it so anyone else can recommend you a fic. I'll try my best to provide for your request, though!

I will do my best answer all asks within a timely manner(:

REC LISTS

Every rec list I will make will be organized by niche categories, such as "Raising Harry" fics or "College AUs." You can request categories, which I will go over in the next little paragraph!

If you look at my pages (in the blog description on mobile) you will find a Request a fic! page. There, you can recommend ME a fic to read and add to a rec list, or request a category for a rec list! They can be as niche as you want, but if I can't find anything, I'll still post it so anyone else can recommend you a fic. I'll try my best to provide for your request, though!

MY MASTERLIST

My masterlist will be a complete catalogue of all the fics in my rec lists. It will start out very small, and grow gradually as this library grows. I can't wait to see it full!

FEATURED SHIPS

(This is a list of ships that I personally enjoy and will definitely be featured in some of the fics I recommend. Obviously, not all the ships listed above will be in all the fics I recommend. Ships like Jegulus are found less often in fics, while ships like Jily are found more often. I try to be as fair to each ship as I can but it’s just not an equal fight.)

Jily (James Potter/Lily Evans)

Dorlene (Dorcas Meadowes/Marlene McKinnon)

Jegulus (James Potter/Regulus Black)

Fralice (Frank Longbottom/Alice [insert maiden name I have yet to figure out])

(minor) Drarry (Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter)

SHIPS I WILL NOT FEATURE

(This will probably be a growing list, since I discover odd ships I personally do not enjoy almost every day! AO3 tags are really something.)

Lily Evans/Severus Snape

James Potter/Severus Snape

Remus Lupin/Severus Snape

Harry Potter/Tom Riddle

Literally any variation of wolfstar and Snape or wolfstar and James as a threesome foursome whatever. If you enjoy those ships, that's great! But I personally don't and would prefer not to read fics with them.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

Send me an ask or private message! I'll respond as quickly as I can(:

DISCLAIMER: My rec lists are ever-changing! I spend an alarming amount of my day reading and discovering new fics, and might add any new favorites to old lists if they fit under a category I already covered. If a rec list changes a lot after its original posting, I may remove the link to the old post and link it to a repost of the updated list.

Thank you for taking the time to read over this introductory post! If you like what you see, you can boost this post by reblogging or giving it notes. That way, this account can spread and reach a larger audience(:

ships they come and go, but Wolfstar is forever ❤️

[excalirebagel]

Being trans is literally like going “I got a tattoo of a cat bc they are my favorite animal :)” and then a nationwide movement is created to go “but do you have proof that cats are your favorite animal? If we don’t have objective proof that cats are your favorite animal how can we know it’s okay to let you permanently alter your body? We should make tattoo parlors illegal because people might get tattoos of things that aren’t their actual favorite animal” like you realize you all sound insane right

Holiday Fics

It's the holiday season, so here are some of my favorite wintery fics<33

(Due to the celebration of Christmas in the Harry Potter franchise, majority of holiday fics within the fandom honor the same holiday. The fics I am about to list are all Christmas-based, so if it's against your religion or beliefs to read them, this is your warning❤️!!)

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.

Christmas Canoodles by KinugoshiDofu

It's the trope holy trinity with Wolfstar: when Remus's grandmother mistakenly assumes he is dating Sirius and invites them over for Christmas on a fjord, there's nothing this loyal grandson can do but fake a relationship and call his best friend boyfriend - can this particular werewolf survive sharing a bed with his crush all during the holidays? Only one way to find out!

The Christmas Tree by cottonpadenthusiast

Word Count: 5,732

Rating: G

Remus has spent his Christmas alone for the past ten years, celebrating the holidays in his remote, little cabin. He works his days in his Christmas tree shop and spends his nights trying to ignore the loneliness. And he's fine with that. Or that's what he tells himself.

Draco Malfoy would rather be anywhere than at the Malfoy Manor during Christmas, which is why he loves selling Christmas trees with Remus during the holidays. But something is missing, something not even he can understand.

A tree delivery to the Potter mansion on Christmas Eve will change everything for the two friends, in more ways than one. Christmas is full of surprises, after all.

I hope you enjoy these, buried under blankets with minty hot cocoa. Have a wonderful December, lovelies<33

hi! there are actually plenty of fics about religious holidays other than Christmas. I’m co-mod for @hanukkahwolfstarweek, and @impishtubist is running a casual multi-religion/no religion winter wolfstar fest

beyond winter, there are many many fics about other religious holidays. Desi James and Harry is an important headcanon for so many people, and AO3 is full of fics with Sirius and/or Remus celebrating Diwali and Holi with them (I don’t know any titles off hand, others feel free to jump in with specific recs, but many of them are listed in the Desi Harry/Desi James tags on AO3, and there’s also a Diwali tag specifically). @sliebman10 and I just wrote a fic where Sirius and Remus celebrate Rosh Hashana

so it’s not really about people being offended by reading Christmas fics, but more that people in the fandom from different religious or cultural backgrounds that they reflect in fanfic like to see those fics recognised

[the-wolfstar-cupboard]

thank you so much for adding on to my post!! I personally have never been able to find well-written, non-Christmas holiday fics so I'm really happy to know that there are good ones out there!

A canonical list of times Remus told Sirius to sit and Sirius said I’m sat

Then Lupin spoke in an odd voice, a voice that shook with some suppressed emotion. “Where is he, Sirius?” Black’s face was quite expressionless. For a few seconds, he didn’t move at all. Then, very slowly, he raised his empty hand and pointed straight at Ron.

And Crookshanks was thrown to the floor as Black lunged at Scabbers; Ron yelled with pain as Black’s weight fell on his broken leg. “Sirius, NO!” Lupin yelled, launching himself forwards and dragging Black away from Ron again.

“And Harry — you owe Harry the truth, Sirius!” Black stopped struggling, though his hollowed eyes were still fixed on Scabbers, who was clamped tightly under Ron’s bitten, scratched, and bleeding hands. “All right, then,” Black said, without taking his eyes off the rat. “Tell them whatever you like. But make it quick, Remus. I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for. . . .”

Lupin was struggling against his bonds. Black bent down quickly and untied him.

“How did you find out where he was?” Black put one of his clawlike hands inside his robes and took out a crumpled piece of paper, which he smoothed flat and held out to show the others […] “How did you get this?” Lupin asked Black, thunderstruck. “Fudge,” said Black.

[Sirius’s] voice broke. He turned away. “Enough of this,” said Lupin, and there was a steely note in his voice Harry had never heard before.

“Ready, Sirius?” said Lupin. Black had already retrieved Snape’s wand from the bed. He approached Lupin and the struggling rat, and his wet eyes suddenly seemed to be burning in his face. “Together?” he said quietly. “I think so,” said Lupin, holding Scabbers tightly in one hand and his wand in the other.

Black’s wand arm rose, but Lupin seized him around the wrist, gave him a warning look, then turned again to Pettigrew, his voice light and casual.

“Now he’s going to kill me too. . . . You’ve got to help me, Remus. . . .” Black’s face looked more skull-like than ever as he stared at Pettigrew with his fathomless eyes. “No one’s going to try and kill you until we’ve sorted a few things out,” said Lupin.

Black and Lupin were looking at each other. Then, with one movement, they lowered their wands.

Sirius started to rise from his chair. “Molly, you’re not the only person at this table who cares about Harry,” said Lupin sharply. “Sirius, sit down.” Mrs. Weasley’s lower lip was trembling. Sirius sank slowly back into his chair, his face white.

“There are dangers involved of which you can have no idea, any of you . . . I think Molly’s right, Sirius. We’ve said enough.” Sirius half-shrugged but did not argue.

“I’m coming up there to have a word with Snape!” said Sirius forcefully and he actually made to stand up, but Lupin wrenched him back down again. “If anyone’s going to tell Snape it will be me!” he said firmly.

Remus had a funny taste in his mouth, and it followed him all the way up into the forest where he and his friends were setting up camp. It goes away, of course, but whether it was from Peter's marshmallows or Sirius Black's tongue, he can never be sure.

Or: a campfire, a game of "two truths and a lie" gone wrong, and a derisive night sky.

If you guys have any fic requests, send me a little something in my asks! It's so thrilling seeing smth new in my inbox<33

People talking about Goncharov like it's some kind of genius supernatural phenomenon.

Yall. Harry Potter has had an entire fandom for characters who do not exist in canon. For over 20 years. There are fics, fanarts, cosplays, fan movies, headcanons, fests for characters that were mentioned by name once in a book.

Snape, an uneducated jackass: werewolves are very dangerous beasts

Sirius, points to Remus who's eating chocolate in the background: if dangerous, then why cute?

Sorry, we could not find this fic. Maybe one of our followers can help!

Hi! I think the fic you mentioned was this:

Half Agony, Half Hope by Barry_Manilows_Wardrobe

Word Count: 27,154

A tale wherein Sirius Black loses 750 House Points for Gryffindor. But it’s totally worth it.

And I totally agree! This is SUCH a good fic. I read it a few months ago and loved it! I was able to find a few more fics, but unfortunately there's isn't a lot of Slytherin!Remus:(

Here's what I was able to find:

For Both Were Infinite by Moonwalker94

Word Count: 7,000

“I received a letter from home.”

In which Gryffindors and Slytherins are in love, a party gets crashed, Marauder-typical shenanigans unfurl, scheming might be happening and help comes from unexpected places.

Written for Harry Potter Fanfiction Club's Untagged Fest.

Remus Lupin is always on his mind by halfravenhalfclaw

There's nothing Sirius enjoys more than winning over Remus Lupin, and therefore obsesses over him constantly. That's why he is shocked to know that everyone else doesn't notice Lupin the same way he does.

I'm planning on doing a Ravenclaw!Remus list soon, so keep an eye out for that! I hope you enjoy these fics<33 So sorry I wasn't able to find more!!

Drinking Games Fics

Maybe this is an odd choice for my first rec list, but I love a good drinking game! These are some of my favorite fics with that, filled with hilarity and fun (and a bit of emotional torture and pining, because its wolfstar. It's in the job description really.) Enjoy!

The Gryffindor common room, a party, and spin the bottle.

“Who are you trying to kiss, Padfoot?”

The air stills, stifling, and Remus is caught in the turnover of every lyric, the scratch of the record player and the soundless lull as it ends, waiting to be flipped. He stares at Sirius.

Sirius blinks, sucks his cheek between his teeth and raises his eyebrows. “It’d ruin the fun if I told, wouldn’t it?”

Inexperienced by Remustrash

"Now, Remus prided himself on his maturity and his ability to not give many fucks about people’s opinion of him (unless it concerned his furry little problem). But this was Sirius, and everything had always been different with Sirius. Somehow it really bothered him that Sirius thought of him as this inexperienced innocent boy. Which he really, really wasn’t."

When James proposes a game of Never Have I Ever, Remus sees an opportunity to come out to his friends, change Sirius' false image of him, and perhaps win some money in the process.
