Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

DISCLAIMER: I do not support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views.
NOTE: I AM NO LONGER READING OR REPLYING TO COMMENTS ON THIS FIC

Summary
She wonders if the water will stain if her body lands the right way. If the blood will spray and tinge it pink, or if it’s too large for that. Will they have to drain it? Will her blood become a biohazard, a source of infection that she failed to cure? Maybe the gunshot will scare the frogs and they won’t be seen until next year. How many children will wake up crying like they do with flares and fireworks? How many will hear their first shot, and attend their first funeral?
How many lives will Ellie ruin before she turns sixteen?
[Ellie has a plan. Things don't turn out the way she wants them to.]

Summary
It’s a novelty to work on an art project that Ellie doesn’t have to quickly fold away before it’s ripped up by someone like Bethany. There’s paint in Jackson, and walls and canvases, and more free time than she knows what to do with.
Or: Ellie paints her heroes and villains. Joel gets rare insight into Ellie’s mind.

Summary
To Ellie, Joel is so unbelievably special. And she wants to level the new territory they’ve found themselves in: Joel calling her every sugarcoated name of endearment under the sun with a voice full of that something neither of them has been able to say.
But Ellie…well.
Ellie doesn’t know what the fuck to call him.
Or: Ellie is one second away from going on a teenage girl rampage because names are hard and thinking of a name for Joel is harder, especially if nothing fucking fits.

Summary
“Thank you, baby girl.” Metal hits the ceramic edge of a plate. There’s the squelch of doused french toast being lifted out of a river of syrup, the muffled sounds of chewing. “Been a long time since someone…” Joel clears his throat for like the third time in two minutes. “Imma keep this someplace safe.”
“Whatever, man,” Ellie manages to find her way back to flippant, feeling the twisting, twining thing within her stomach finally beginning to settle, finding that the sugary sweetness is bright and tacky on her tongue. “It’s just some blueprints.”
Joel chews like he’s thinking. Somewhere along the way, Ellie’s learned what it looks like when he’s thinking.
Eventually, he says, “No, it ain’t.”
//
or: A little peek into the journey of settling in and becoming a family that's not afraid of titles and the certainty they hold.
