Summary
Best-selling novelist Remus Lupin, distraught and torn after his relationship of 10 years ends in nothing but doubt and litigation leaves the bustle of New York City, and retreats to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in hopes of reconnecting to his childhood and getting his writing spark back. Sirius Black is a local ceramicist and single parent with a backstory all his own, who happens to frequent the coffee shop Remus grew up studying in. Remus for the first time in his life didn't have a plan when he booked a one way plane ticket--except for maybe the plan to never fall in love again. Except...
A story of simple pleasures, love, and home.
(Modern, Adult Wolfstar AU; set in the states)

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

Summary
The war was over.
Or at least that’s what the papers said.
They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.
Maybe they did.
***
In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.
It's super.

Summary
Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.
Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.

Summary
Sequel to The Devil's White Knight.
“Did you like me? Did other people like me? Was I the same at all? Was there something in old me that made you think that all of it would be worth it, or were you just biding your time with some piece of shit until you could have me me back?"
Draco licked his lips, then said, “You weren’t all bad, no. Okay? Is that good enough? Can I please sleep now?”
But it wasn't enough, and Harry knew he'd have to find some other way to learn what the Old Harry was truly like.

Summary
It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?
His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum.
As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too.
Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.
Fic title from "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, which was released in 1998. Playlist to get in the late '90s mood.

His parents, his godfather, his friends--and him. Harry must deal with the consequences of who he would have been if he had been raised by his parents, and figure out where he stands with his casual hook up, Draco Malfoy.

Harry Potter and the Lives of Dragons by drarryweasley
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
30 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
Harry’s avoiding Dumbledore’s portrait like the plague. Draco Malfoy is sleeping less than ten feet from Harry and refuses to stop flirting with him. Charlie Weasley is seeming less and less like a brother every day and Harry doesn’t know how to break that to Ron, who is most definitely onto him. And on top of all of that, grief is a bitch that seems to have it out for everyone at the worst possible times.
Harry was stupid to think he could have a normal year at Hogwarts, even without Voldemort messing about his head.

A selection of short stories from various points in the 'All the Young Dudes' timeline. From different character POVs.
Basically I sometimes write little character studies that turn into longer pieces to help me get into other characters heads (besides Remus). That's what these are. Some of them provide background info for the goings on in All the Young Dudes.
