Summary
Ten years ago, Remus Lupin met a homophobic idiot with a talent for being shirtless. Yes, he’s the most beautiful thing Remus has ever seen. No, Remus is absolutely not going to waste his life thinking about that pampered posh bastard.
Sirius Black, meanwhile, can’t understand why Cambridge’s weed dealer seems to hate him on sight. For the first time in history, he’s met someone immune to his smile - and Sirius has never reacted well to the word no.
A non-linear fic about class, prejudice and pride (no Austen involved), and the terrifying quiet after a joke when you realise no one was laughing. (Or: Wolfstar finally communicate. It’s a disaster in the best possible way)

Summary
It’s something he hasn’t done before, Sirius thinks, trying to fix what was never quite broken. And perhaps it’s that Remus and he had come to the new house still not put to rights. Or perhaps it’s that Sirius had, in some small way, convinced himself that they would’ve been by now.
In which there is a break-up, a radio, a gay bar -
and learning to love again.

Fuck, this is what he needs, isn't it?
This will fix it. This will make it all better. This will make him slightly more human.
"Make me forget. Make me forget all of it. Magic, Hogwarts, the war." Him. "Just make me forget, please."
Or:
Remus makes Dumbledore oblivate him after Halloween 1981, moves to a farm in Wales and starts a new life. It's all going great until a mysterious man in Azkaban robes turns up on his porch door seven years later.

Summary
Sirius Black is nineteen when he finds out Remus Lupin has been recruited into the Order, and he hates him. He hates him. Doesn't matter if he hasn't seen him in years, or what he believed then, or what kind of person he is. He hates him.
Remus Lupin is eleven when he meets Sirius Black on the Hogwarts Express, and he loves him. He loves him. Doesn't matter if his life has changed, or that it kept changing for a lot after that too, or what kind of person he became. He loves him.

Summary
When he was seventeen, Remus Lupin watched a boy dance at the Prix de Lausanne, and fell rather tragically in love. Six years later, and working as rehabilitation coach at the Fidelius Ballett, Remus has long since contented himself with watching Sirius Black from side-stage.
Only, when Sirius is injured mere weeks before his principal debut, Remus finds himself abruptly yanked from his place in the wings, and thrust centre stage, right into the star-bright spotlight of Sirius’ life.
Remus doesn’t see it exactly, too enraptured as he is by Sirius’ face, but he hears it. A harsh pop! that echoes unbidden ghosts of pain in his mind, sends discordance clanging down every xylophone-rung of his spine, his entire skeleton reverberating with each chilling strike. Frozen, Remus watches as that face—that beautiful face—drops its grin, turns paper-white, and then Sirius is on the floor.
