Title: I'll paint a mural of your smile Author: adashinos Rating: PG-13 Characters: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Lily Evans, Peter Pettigrew Parings: Sirius/Remus, Lily/James Genre: coffee shop au gone serious? i guess Warnings: parental abuse mention, mental illness, trans character, alcohol Summary: Sirius Black has days when he can hardly get out of bed, and days when he's up and out of the house before anyone else is. Sometimes he wakes his friends in the middle of the night by calling them and daring them to get out of bed, sometimes he doesn't answer James' texts for weeks. Remus Lupin suffers from chronic pains and low self-esteem, always putting other's happiness before his own, never showing his true emotions, even to himself. They've never spoken before now, but it doesn't take Sirius long to sense something different about Remus, something that goes deeper than the other would care to admit. And soon, even Remus understands that not everything is as it should be with the seemingly happy, extroverted and flirtatious rich guy, ordering drinks under funny names in front of him. Note: this was written for my lovely friend carly, who one day sighed on twitter about a marauders coffee shop au that she wished someone would write, well, guess who's trying to write it? there will be more chapters so keep an eye open!
