Summary
A small interaction between Regulus and Euphemia before his fifth year at Hogwarts alters the trajectory of his life. Asked to watch out for Regulus, James finds himself readily falling for him as they spend more time together. It can never be that simple though- the Black's expectations and dysfunction grasp onto the younger boy relentlessly, and the raging war outside the doors of Hogwarts moves closer to them every day.
Dealing with the hardships and traumas of their reality, the question remains: how far are they willing to go for one another?
Following the boys from their final years of Hogwarts into their roles during the First Wizarding War, this is a long fic exploring the depths of their devotion. It deals with sensitive topics so please be mindful of the tags; there is a comprehensive note at the start of the fic detailing warnings. Eventual happily ever after (it's a long ride).

Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
---
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
And what is the decay of perfection but humanity?
And maybe that’s why it moves us so. Because perfection, for all its blinding brilliance, leaves no room for humanity. We as humans cannot feel any sort of way for something untarnished for the simple reason that for something to be perfect, it cannot be human.
Imperfection is as close to honesty as an artist can be.
We recognise something that has made a home in imperfection because we have too, made a home there. It proves that art is not frozen, that it is still in conversation with the world, just as we are.
It’s the reason we fight against art restoration a lot of the time—decay is proof that something has lived.
Imperfection, decay, weathering, call it what you may, but it is what allows art, and certainly, artists, to live. Without it, art would be just as hard grey cement on a wall.
So then it makes so much sense that this country of art feels so alive.
Or,
The Marauders and the girls (and Pandora) take a trip to Italy for their final summer before college and or adulting, as one says. It's different things for all of them, but it's something big nonetheless. And it's the last summer before...
Well, you'll see.Bookmarked by ladyst4rdustt

Summary
“Well,” Remus says quietly, “you don’t let people know you."
“And you’re saying you know me?” Sirius drawls, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the only one?”
The half-arsed derision in his tone doesn’t seem to surprise or intimidate Remus. He only smiles, knowing.
It is one thing to love a person; it is quite another to see them as they truly are and to love them all the same. And sometimes, Sirius thinks, he’d rather die than let anybody see beneath the defensive facade of his brave face.
From 1971 to 1978, the Hogwarts years of obsession, betrayal, recklessness, lies, too much drink, insecurity, and all eclipsing sexual frustration. Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense. Seven years for Sirius to finally admit to himself that what he wants is not only to be loved, but to be known entirely. And therein lies the difficulty.

Summary
“Do you truly understand what’s at stake here?” Pandora said, eyes wide.
“I’m not crazy.”
“I didn’t say you were, Barty.”
…
Gryffindor is in uproar as magic brews right within its walls and threats continue to rise from the ashes of the undercity of Slytherin. The ancient Greek myth states that you should never open a box when you know that havoc could be inside. But wouldn’t you unlock it when greed and curiosity begins to eat you from the inside out?

Summary
Remus struggles with his feelings after Sirius' prank. He knows, logically, he should be angrier than he is, but the hurt he feels overshadows his anger. So he hides.
i would just like to add - remus doesn't actually interact with any of the other characters in this! it's kind of just a glimpse into his mind. other characters are mentioned, which is why they are tagged, but they aren't really a part of the fic. remus isn't really doing anything in the moment, again, the fic is just a peek into his thoughts post-prank :)

Summary
The memories were flashing in, now. Bleeding through Remus’ mind. Some kind of cruel montage, a shove in the face of all those mental photographs he had once cherished and loved. An eleven year old Sirius Black, grinning at him dopily, eyes sparkling and unwavering, trained on his face, not his scars. Sirius Black, pestering him, asking incessant questions about his records, uncaring of Remus’ stutter, that he could barely string a coherent sentence out. Sirius Black the dog, running circles around their dorm, jumping up and licking a dumbfounded, awe-struck Remus. Both canines, he had said. You lot don’t get Moony like I do. Sirius Black with his dark hair fanned out on the carpet, another record spinning and emanating throughout their room. He’d turn his head to Remus, and crack a smile. Not those wide, ear-splitting grins. Not those knife-edge flashes of teeth. But a small, quiet one, eyelashes fluttering, pupils large. The backs of their hands almost touching. Sirius almost blushing, turning away in an uncharacteristic bout of shyness. It was a joke. All of it. A joke.

Summary
They were looking at each other, the grass tickling their faces.
When Mary stayed quiet, Marlene looked away to her other side, where she picked up a small daisy and twirled it around in her hand. She looked back over at Mary, clearly thinking about something before she moved her hand to Mary’s hair and put the flower behind her ear.
“Here,” she said softly. “A pretty flower for a pretty girl.”
*
When Mary transfers to a new university halfway through the year, she's invited to join a study group for one of her literature classes. This invitation leads her to new friends, a new best friend, and perhaps even love.
Or, Marlene texts Mary first. And then they keep texting. And teasing. And flirting.

Summary
“It’s a lot you know, going on tour.” Lily whispers, leaning forward, trying to catch his eye as he takes a long drag. “Are you nervous?”
Remus shrugs, “I’m always nervous.” he mumbles.
“It could be great though, this is a big step, you’re not just playing to the same crowd at Arlene’s every weekend.” Another shrug, another drag and Remus is tamping down the nerves growing. They’ve been eating away at him, a slow creep, ever since the announcement.
Sirius’s excited face, shoving the papers at the rest of them, vibrating with anticipation and all he could think about was how sweet it all seemed.
“Yeah it could be nice.” He takes a deep breath, stretching out and looking at the plaster moulding around the ceiling light.

A Black Mass Over Highway Ninety by greenvlvetcouch (roadsidehorror)

Summary
Remus loves Sirius, and Sirius loves Remus.
That’s just the way it is—call it a law of the universe or just the way the world works—but after four years away, Remus gets a call from Sirius asking him if he remembers a promise they made freshman year.
And, of course, Remus remembers. How could he not?
Something like a love story from the summer of 1978, full of Southern Cuts and Old Style, shitty motel rooms, and questionable decisions. Poor excuse for poetry and late night dancing, a trip to Vegas, and one too many honeymoon suites.
Cherry pop rocks, too-tight pants, and a road trip across the U.S.
