requested by anon: friendly reminder that requests are open

Tumblr media
you and remus have been going out for a bit. not long but it was long enough that he knew which shops in diagon alley that you liked most.
or so he thought.
he had no idea you were an age regressor and you planned on keeping it that way. he was the sweetest, you knew that, but the thought of him knowing terrified you. you've had more than you fair share of meanies.
you were comfortably walking around diagon alley, holding your boyfriends hand, when you noticed a new shop. you looked closer and it was a toy store.
oh no.
you squeezed remmy's hand and tried not to bite your nails or nervously scratch your arms.
"y' alrigh' love?" remmy asked, squeezing your hand back. you just nodded and walked a little bit faster past the shop, remus matching your pace.
you slowed down and let out a breath. remus looked at you as if to ask "you sure you're okay?" to which you just nodded again.
"i'm fine remus. just saw... um, someone from school. just didn't wanna run into them is all," you lied.
he looked at you questioningly but let it go.
but once you saw the toy store it seemed everything was going to trigger your regression.
"i... need to use the toilet." you told remus, letting go of his hand. "i'll be back."
remus nodded and smiled. "alright. i have a store to go to that i'm not sure you'll like. i'll do that and be right back."
you smiled at your boyfriend and went to the bathroom, trying to keep yourself big. big kid thoughts. like taxes.
you came out after a few minutes and remus was outside, as he said he would be, with a paper bag in his hand.
"what'cha got there?" you asked. even though he said you wouldn't like the store you were still curious.
"nothing darling. how about some ice cream?" he suggested. "it's the best ice cream in london darling." he said excitedly. "just a scoop then we'll go back t'mine yeah?"
you smiled at his excitement and nodded in agreement. "alright. i can go for some ice cream." you agreed.
you and remus got your ice creams from florean fortescue and made your way back to his house. you two took the tube in london, taking it as far as you were allowed, and walked the rest of the way to his house in the country.
it wasn't too terrible a trip but you nervously tried to stop yourself from regressing. you were quieter than usual and remus noticed.
he draped an arm over your shoulders and squeezed your arm a bit. you're safe with me.
his parents weren't home, for which you were grateful, and you sat on his bed with him.
"y'know..." he started slowly. "i got you something while we were in diagon alley.
you were confused because he didn't say anything. "oh, remus... i didn't get you anything."
he shook his head and handed you the paper bag. "don't worry about that. i just... um... i think you should open it." he nodded toward the bag.
he seemed nervous about your reaction as you opened it. you kept an eye on remus as you opened the back and gasped at the stuffie remus bought for you.
it was the softest little niffler plush, as well as the cutest. "i love it remmy!" you squealed, nearly tackling your boyfriend to the ground.
"you gonna name it?" he asked. oh he knew what he was doing now... and you absolutely loved it!
you sat back on his bed and shrugged. "mmm, i dunno. wet's name 'im together." you smiled. remus sat next to you and draped an arm across your shoulders.
"hm..." remus tapped a finger against his chin in mock thought. "well, let's think. what are some of your absolute favorite things in the whole world?"
you made a face. "in da whole wide worl'?" you asked, to which remmy nodded. "wet's name 'im... remmy."
"remmy sounds like a good name, i like it."
"it's yours silly goose!" you giggled.
"mine?" he asked. "why, i've never heard it."
"silly goose."
"just know, it's okay little love. i still love you."
your little lip wobbled and you squeezed remus as hard as you could. "tanks 'emmy. luv u so so mush."
"i love you too."

could you do little!reader x cg!remus where she’s slipping smaller and smaller until she’s non verbal and remus just praising her for every little thing she does right like for example if she nods her head yes correctly when he asks her if she wants to go to dinner or when she’s able to colour in the lines completely pls<3
“Such a good baby, there you go” he praised you as he fed you the bottle he just warmed up a few minutes ago.
You giggled at the praise sucking on the bottle.
“Once your finished do you wanna finish coloring?” Remus asked you quietly. You nodded behind the bottle.
“Good girl. Such a good girl” “after that baby do you wanna eat?” You gave him another nod.

I have a Harry Potter agere idea!!!
Well, technically it's in the marauders era
Cg!Remus or Cg!Sirius (or both, whichever you prefer) with a regressed!reader, who wants to pet literally ANYTHING.
A very poisonous snake, that could kill you if it bites? Reader wants to pet it, while Remus/Sirius is having a heart attack and keeps reader away.
Remus in wolf form? Pet him.
Sirius in his dog form? Pet him.
Just some fluff/crack🙈
I love this idea, it is a hilarious idea! I hope I've done this idea justice! Apologies it's so short and that there's no dialogue, every time I tried to add some it felt weird, like it shouldn't be there. So I just stuck to description for this one 😅
Tumblr media
Pairings: Caregiver!Sirius Black, Caregiver!Remus Lupin x Little!Reader
Summary: You have no sense of what animals are dangerous and which are not, good thing your wonderful caregivers are there.
Warnings: Mentions of Remus being a Wolf and Sirius being an animagus. Mentions of *the* prank. Mentions of little being around dangerous animals.

It wasn't uncommon for you to find random animals within the castle and befriend them however whilst regressed you had a habit to forget how dangerous some animals were. Your poor caregivers Sirius and Remus have nearly had many heart attacks due to finding you holding random animals. The most recent one had been a snake, you'd learnt about it briefly in one of your lessons, not that you could remember which one. You couldn't even remember the snake that was currently happily sitting in your hands was deadly. Remus ended up carefully taking the snake from your hands whilst Sirius took you to wash your hands, but it was safe to say that both boys were shocked at how you were not injured by any animals that you had befriended in your time at Hogwarts.
Well that was until you had found out that Sirius was an animagus and Remus was a wolf. They'd noticed that they felt strangely safe and calm around you.
Remus had noticed first. In fact it was during the prank that he noticed. It had all gone wrong, you were supposed to be asleep but you had decided you wanted to go for a walk around outside the castle. You'd wandered too far and had ended up in front of Remus, who was a wolf. Surprisingly Remus had calmed down. No one knew how you did it but it sure made that time of the month a lot more bearable when Remus had a way to calm down.
Sirius had also noticed it. He and the other marauders had got in trouble and therefore weren't allowed to go to Hogsmead. Sirius snuck out anyways whilst the others stayed so he could make sure you were okay. He decided (so he didn't get caught) to go in dog form. Within 20 minutes of following you you had noticed him, not yet knowing it was Sirius. You approached him and let the 'unknown' dog come to you. He went towards you, feeling calm as you stretched your arm out to lightly pet his head.
Neither Sirius nor Remus could ever figure out why you had this calming effect on animals but what they did know is that they believed you truly were the sweetest. Most animals seemed to agree too...

Tumblr media
Today had been absolutely treacherous.
First you hadn't been able to find your transfiguration homework resulting in professor mcgonagall giving you a detention at the end of the day. You loved professor mcgonagall you always got on well but you understood that she couldn't give special treatment, even to her favourite students.
Then you spilt ink over your potions assignment and to top it all off your uniform had been suffocating you all day.
It was days like this that you were thankful at least one of your partners were with you in each class.
However each of them had been increasingly distracted today.
James had been thinking about quidditch a lot lately since there was a match on Sunday against slytherin, everybody wanted to win but James always took it to a new level.
Remus's head had been trapped in his book practically all week, there was an assignment due for history of magic and to everyone's surprise remus was struggling slightly to make sense of the text as it contradicted itself many times. Personally you didn't really care about your results in history of magic you just saw it as a filler class occasionally copying down notes but mostly constructing origami birds.
Sirius had been the most present one today however he had spent his lessons thinking over new ways to taunt his brother and Snape not listening to you when you discouraged it.
You had hoped to spend a good amount of time with them after your classes but then you realised.
James had quidditch practice, sirius was going along to watch him and remus had a meeting with professor dumbledoor.
Brilliant.
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
Stepping through the entryway for the gryffindor common room you saw lily and marlene sitting on the crushed velvet sofa. As soon as you made your way over to them you dropped your bag onto the floor beside you and flopped down onto the cushions Making lily chuckle.
"Hard day huh?" She said with a knowing smile "torture" you agreed resting your head on her shoulder feeling her hand gently stroke your hair. "Aww hon, well it's over now until next week" "how was detention?" Marlene smirked eyeing you cheekily "I don't understand the point of it, all I did was sit there drawing" you chuckled kicking your feet up.
A good half an hour passed on the sofa with your best friends before you made your way up to the boys dorm room, you barley ever slept in your own dorm anymore. As soon as you reached the 6th step you felt a hazy feeling come over your mind.
Why did it always come at the worst times?
Holding onto the hand rail you made quick work of your journey. When you reached the large oak door you swung it open and locked it with a simple spell, the boys would know that it was only you.
Once you reached remus's bed you felt all attempts at staying in your big headspace leave you, the only thing was you felt young.
Really young.
Considering that you hadn't been able to regress in such a long time it wasn't really surprising however it felt scary, you never regressed this young on your own and you didn't know what to do.
Suddenly being made aware of your itchy uniform you tried desperately to remove it but there were too many zips and the buttons were to small so it was no use.
Realising that you couldn't do anything for yourself you excepted your fate and layed yourself down on the mattress hugging the pillow close to you wetting it with your tears.
"They'll be back soon" you thought to yourself.
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
"Your such a tosser" james expressed to sirius as they reached their dorm room. Trying the doorknob they realised that it was locked causing them to frown "alohomora" remus said hearing a click.
Walking through the doorway they saw you curled up on remus’s bed sobbing into his pillow, immediately they rushed over to you with sirius gently removing the pillow and laying down beside you "what's wrong sweetheart?" James asked sitting on your other side.
Trying to find the words you spoke softly "small" you whimpered cuddling into Sirius's arm feeling his hand gently stroke your hair. "Oh angel" you heard remus sigh guilt lacing his tone almost instantly you heard the two of them walk around the room.
After collecting some clothes for you remus walked over towards the bed gently turning you into your back causing you to protest "I know baby I know it's okay" he said unbuttoning your shirt, zipping down your skirt and bringing down your stockings. Feeling a soft jumper being pulled over your head you manoeuvred your way through it "there she is" sirius gasped when your head popped through the hole making you giggle.
Watching James from across the room you saw him pull down a lime green box and walk it over towards you. Pulling the lid off he took out a soft grey dummy and a soft lion toy, you had never seen these ones before.
Passing the dummy to sirius you felt him gently ease it into your mouth feeling remus squish in beside you and sirius he made his way towards his bed.
Hearing a loud noise you panicked slightly and shot up in the bed "Hey, hey sweetheart it's okay it's just daddy being an twat" "oi I'm just moving the bed so we can all fit, your welcome" james said sarcastically "Daddy's not a twat" you mumbled sleepily from behind your dummy "thank you baby" "you could have used your wand" remus stated a moment of silence following "shut up."
Feeling the boys spread out on the joined mattresses you rolled yourself over giggling slightly "aww our giggly little girl" sirius smiled placing a kiss to the back of your head. "Pass her over here" james said piping up from beside remus "come here honey" the lycanthrophe beside you mumbled rolling you over his stomach and into james arms "there she is" he sighed kissing your head gently.
Looking at you each of them realised that you were about to fall into dreamland, with james stroking your hair and remus patting your lower back soothingly you allowed yourself to sleep with Sirius's comforting words.
"Your okay now little one, we're here and we'll be here when you wake up."

Theories of Happiness - Chapter One 
Remus abandoned his wolf pack and is now without a home or protection from Voldemort. Severus has been a secret Little for years and has been managing on his own just fine, thank you very much. However, when Remus shows up on his doorstep with Dumbledore, begging for a place to stay, Severus is put between a rock and a hard place. Unable to say no, he reluctantly opens his home for Remus for the Summer until they can return to Hogwarts, but how long can he hide his age regression and his dark mark?

✰ 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: remmy helps you through a storm and gives you lots of cuddles &lt;3
✰ 𝐀/𝐍: for @mad-elia and every little who gets scared when it's thundering and every little who wants remmy to take care of them &lt;3
Tumblr media
remmy had told you that there was gonna be a huge storm that night. you knew it was gonna scare you too.
thunder was always scary.
remmy had gotten all your blankets, pillows, and stuffies and made you a blanket fort! he also got his tablet so you could watch movies together!!
blanket forts always help!
you were helping him too. you got all your favorite books! you also got coloring books and crayons and bubbles and stickers and puzzles and your headphones. they play music and block out thunder!
"alright pumpkin, ready to rock?" he asked, waving a hand to tell you that you could go inside the fort.
you giggled and nodded happily at him. "yay! rocks!" you squealed, causing your caregiver to chuckle.
"not quite sweet pea. i mean, are you ready to be brave?" remmy asked, crawling in the fort with you.
"oh."
remmy ruffled your hair, making you pout, and gave you a forehead kiss. "it's alright pumpkin. wanna watch a show?" he asked.
"where's bagels?" you asked. "need 'im bubba," you frowned.
remmy pulled out the bear and handed him to you with a smile. "here you are sweet pea. now, what show?"
you cuddled up next to him and watched him tap a brightly colored button and one of your favorites came up. "that one!" you squealed, accidentally clicking on the animated show.
"anything you want sweetheart. wanna color?" he asked, turning to get the coloring book and crayons you brought. "or would you rather a puzzle?"
you stared at remmy, slightly confused, for a few moments. "s'it my... my octonauts one? wif da... da... vegimals?"
remmy nodded. "uh-huh! your favorite pumpkin."
you nodded excitedly, making remmy put his hand on your head. "careful baby, don' wanna give yourself wiplash."
"'m not a baby!" you argued. "'m a big kid!" you told him.
"okay kiddo." he chuckled, taking the top off the puzzle box. "c'mon, let's do the cute octonauts puzzle."
you laid down on your stomach with remmy and helped him find the corner pieces. then all the edge pieces. he helped you put it together and you were happy when you two finished it.
unfortunately the storm came later and it started thundering right as you finished the puzzle with remmy.
"bubba?" you asked, reaching for him but not able to find him. it made you want to cry since you couldn't find him.
he put is hand on your back and rubbed it, helping you calm down a bit.
"i'm right here pumpkin, right here." he reminded you, laying down next to you. "here, pick another show?"
you nodded and jumped at the next loud clap of thunder. you teared up a little and nuzzled into remmy's side. "here, wanna watch bluey?" he asked, pushing a couple of buttons and bluey turned on for you.
remmy had helped you on your back and let you rest your head on his chest as he held up the tablet for you.
thunder claps.
you whimper and jump.
this happens for a couple minutes until it clicks in his mind that you probably need your headphones. "c'mere pumpkin." he lifted your head, which wasn't hard since you were watching bluey closely, and put your headphones on.
you looked up at remmy and could feel yourself talking, hearing yourself a little, but still pouted.
"bluey."
you watched remmy push a button on the side a couple times and you could hear it now. "tanks bubba."
you felt him say something through his chest but you didn't know what he said.
soon you fell asleep on your bubba, stuffie in hand, comfy and forgetting about the storm.

HI! I love what you write. If that's ok, little marauders's reactions when mommy uses their full names
Remus lupin
“Remus John lupin.” He’s immediately shocked. A look of shock covers his face as he goes to find you. Determined to fix whatever the problem he caused. Even if he knows he don’t do anything wrong.
James fleamont potter
“James fleamont potter.” By the time you barley finish saying his last name he’s already at your knees with his doe eyes all glossed over. He hates when your mad at him. Loathes it. “M’ sorry mommy, can you tell me what I did?”
Sirius Orion black
“Sirius Orion black.” He raises an eyebrow in confusion. His siren eyes making contact with yours as his brows furrowed. Trying to make out the words Your about to say. Once you tell him he’s immediately disappointed with himself. But with cuddles and kisses he’s back to normal.

Remus was arguably the smartest of the marauders however he prided himself more on his ability to read people body language almost perfectly, so it was no big surprise when he got bored in class that he started looking around at his peers.
His eyes gazed over his classmates carefully taking in every eye roll, straightened back and legs swinging..?
Who was that?
Remus looked up to see you sitting there swinging your legs under your desk. Normally you got slightly antsy by the last 15 minutes of class however you still had 40 minutes of class left.
What had happened to make you so distracted. When your thumb moved to your mouth carefully, resting on your lips to bring a form of comfort without giving away your regression to everyone did it click to Remus that you were an age regressor and slipping and by the looks of it fast.
You'd been friends with Remus since 2nd year however you weren't massively close with the rest of the marauders, opting to sit and read in the library. That was how Remus met you, he had bumped into your shoulder causing you to drop your book which now he thinks back to it was way lower than your reading level, you were probably getting that book to read when little.
Remus decided a distraction was needed. Quickly flicking his wand the paper tightly grasped in the professors hand was set alight. In the chaos of professor panicking Remus approached you and lightly took your hand, leading you out of class.
"Are you okay little one?"
Your eyes showed clear panic. 'How did he know..?'
"Don't panic darling, it's okay." He spoke calmly.
You noticeably calmed down and Remus decided to take you to the library. Walking inside he led you to a quiet corner that no one went to and took out some paper and pencils from his bag.
"I don't have any colours on me at the moment but would you like to do some drawings? If you'd like we can get some colouring pencils or pens later and colouring in the drawings?"
You nodded excitedly and sat down next to him. The two of you spent an hour and a half drawing before you yawned and Remus decided you needed to take a nap.
You were too tired to get to your own room so he decided that staying here was the best bet. He let you lay your head on his shoulder as he leant back against the wall, allowing for a more comfortable position for the both of you.
Once you fell asleep he found himself smiling to himself, this was not how he thought his day would go but he had never been happier with the outcome..

something tells me you don't really like tonks, just a hunch xD
For the relationship ask if you're still doing it: harry and remus, molly and remus, teddy and adromeda. I would love to see what do you think <3
noooo i love tonks! i had a ball writing her and think that @evesaintyves’ rendering of her is one of fandom’s greatest gifts 😭 i just find it very funny that harry thinks she should low key get a grip. and as a clumsy young woman who should myself get a grip, i say: get off her case, hjp.
ok the remus + tonks/black extended family universe... hyped for this one. delicious choices, thank you anon. (i have a few more in the inbox i'm going to take a stab at but am trying to avoid spoilery ones or ones where i risk boring you all again by repeating old talking points, so if i don't get to one pls forgive me...)
right — to business. we begin with everybody looking at remus lupin waiting for him to put his crippling self loathing aside to write (1) singular letter to his dead friend's son:
Tumblr media
i jest (to an extent). but i do think the entirety of harry and remus' dynamic is best encapsulated in one singular scene in PoA:
“When they get near me — ” Harry stared at Lupin’s desk, his throat tight. “I can hear Voldemort murdering my mum.” Lupin made a sudden motion with his arm as though to grip Harry’s shoulder, but thought better of it.
i know there's a very understandable move in AUs to imagine what would have happened if remus had raised harry - or, more often, if remus had been 'allowed' to raise harry by dumbledore. but looking past the whole plot-requiring-harry-to-be-at-the-dursleys thing, the truth is, canon remus lupin would never have put himself forward to raise harry, because of his own (not unfounded!) concerns about the precarity of his existence and the dangerousness of his condition. remus' sense of self - more specifically his fear of himself, and his very low self worth - consistently lead him to hold harry at arm's length from the moment he's introduced in the series until its bitter end. i don't think remus at all approves of the way harry is treated at the dursleys. but i can very much imagine that remus thinks it would still be better than the life he could have given harry if he ever had been called upon to serve as his primary caregiver. one of the most interesting implicit dynamics in the series is that harry notices this and does, to some extent, resent it (obviously the fact that he only ever calls him 'lupin' in his narration, though uses remus to his face, and also: 'Harry had received no mail since the start of term; his only regular correspondent was now dead and although he had hoped that Lupin might write occasionally, he had so far been disappointed.') while the harry & remus fight in DH is about harry's view of what remus ought to do re tonks and the baby, it’s also harry coming as close as saying to remus: you're letting your own child down like you let me down. ('I’m pretty sure my father would have wanted to know why you aren’t sticking with your own kid, actually... He had it coming to him,” said Harry. Broken images were racing each other through his mind: Sirius falling through the veil; Dumbledore suspended, broken, in midair; a flash of green light and his mother’s voice, begging for mercy… ‘Parents,’ said Harry, 'shouldn’t leave their kids unless—unless they’ve got to.')
molly and remus: i think this is a very, very underrated relationship! i know there’s a lot of molly-bashing around these days, especially if you’re a marauders and/or sirius and/or wolfstar stan. but i think it is very very overlooked that the person who looks after adult remus the most from 1995 onwards, and who shows him some of the deepest trust and roots for his happiness, is molly. for a man who has plainly known a huge amount of financial/food/housing insecurity, and who is so villainised in wider wizarding society, it is no small gesture for molly to not only provide for remus materially but also to trust him in a house with all of her children and encourage him in a romantic relationship he struggles to feel entitled to and worthy of. (i love sirius, but he is in no fit state to ‘look after’ remus in the last year of his life, and fandom’s continued unwillingness to recognise the importance of domestic/caregiving labour as a vital contribution to the resistance will never not be problematic af). remus clearly values and admires molly in return - the only time he actually ever entertains a parent/guardianship role is when molly is weeping over her boggart, crying onto remus’ shoulder (‘what must you think of me?’) and he assures her that if anything were to happen to her and arthur, he would be a part of the team making sure her children are taken date of (‘what do you think we’d do, let them starve?’) remus’ relationship with molly is often the more mild-mannered translator of her viewpoint to others (especially others with hot tempers), and mediator trying to find middle ground between molly’s protective instincts and the battle/ready instincts of others. (more grist to my sirius & ginny parallels mill — in DH, when a fuming ginny is desperately trying to sneak off to fight in the battle, it’s remus who appeals to molly and ginny to find the compromise of ginny staying in the room of requirement to know what’s going on but not actively fight, a mirror image of his role mediating the dispute between sirius and molly over harry’s right to know what’s going on at grimmauld in ootp…) molly accepts this compromise, a sign that she trusts remus implicitly (she never frets that a werewolf is living among her children in ootp onwards, and invites him to christmas readily even after months undercover with the pack) and also feels able to call him out (‘i’ve always said you’re taking a ridiculous line on this, remus’.) this is too long but basically — justice for molly and remus, unlikely buds!
teddy and andromeda: i weirdly think a lot about teddy lupin these days. i tend to imagine teddy as a very mild-mannered, affable, calm child, like who remus might have been had he not been bitten, with tonks' heart and sociability but also with something of remus' more philosophical disposition. i think he'd slip very naturally into a big brother role because, in part, he does see himself as having a responsibility to take care of people, and i think this would shine through in his relationship with andromeda. we know teddy was raised by his gran, and i imagine she feels enormously protective of him, perhaps bordering on strict in her desire to keep him safe from the harm that came to all the rest of her family. but i like to imagine teddy didn't act out against this too much, in part because he understands where it comes from and in turn feels very protective of andromeda. growing up in the aftermath of the war would make teddy as a child particularly aware of the grief and pain and the silences among the adults around him, and i think teddy would take any compensatory protective strictness on andromeda's part with good grace, and humour her for it. i like to think teenage/young adult teddy serves as the translator for any of his gran's more prickly edges, and that they have a very close relationship that both of them really treasure.

wolfstar sickfic reclist <3
(because i'm coming down with a cold)
Fight Me - G, 1.7k
Remus is a bit more efficient when taking care of a very feverish, and slightly delirious, Sirius.
All Better - 2.2k
3 (and a half!) year old Harry Potter is determined to fix his Moony when he's 'ill'.
Stubborn - 1.2k
Despite his dramatic nature, Sirius becomes the complete opposite when he's sick.
Wake Up Alone - T, 1.1k
Waking up in the Hospital Wing after a particularly rough transformation, Remus did not expect to find Sirius watching him from the adjacent bed.
I'm Biting My Tongue - T, 3.9k
They fall silent again after that, breathing in tandem. Two bodies, one soul. Remus reckons that if nothing else, at least he has this. He marvels in Sirius' gentle puffs of breathing, and it should be gross knowing he's sick, but he can't find it in him to care. Treasuring the way he fits perfectly under his arm like a missing puzzle piece, Remus trails the notches of Sirius' spine, feeling the dips and smoothness of his skin. A work of art, he concludes. That's what Sirius is. Art. (or, where sirius is sick and remus looks after him because he's hopelessly in love)
The Best Cures for Being Sick are Soup and Cuddling - T, 1k
Harry's sick and Sirius naps a lot. I'm so bad at summaries Set in the same universe after my other work Midnight Revelations but not necessary to read Post-OotP where Sirius lives and is free Rated for one cuss word
Fever - G, 0.8k
When Remus is ill, Sirius can never stay away.
My Empire of Dirt - M, 15k
When Sirius gets a grave prognosis, Lily suggests that he makes a bucket list.
Wolfsbane - 3.2k
Post-war everyone live au. Remus signs up for the Wolfsbane Potion trial, but something goes wrong. Only his ex, Sirius, can make it better. (tws in tags)
All Sorts of Mornings - T, 1.2k
Sometimes, Sirius has trouble getting out of bed. Remus doesn't mind in the slightest. Or: Life is a mosaic, and every single tile has its own worth.
A Very Tired Wolf - T, 3k
“Oh lie down you asshole, it’s like you’re trying to hurt yourself, you’re going to hurt yourself,” “I’m fine darling it’s just-” “You’re not,” Full Moon Recovery fic, in which Remus is fully convinced he is healthy and Sirius has several heart attacks because his favorite werewolf is going to end up hurting himself. literally, just tooth-rotting fluff, basically Sirius and Remus banter with some caregiver vibes. read at your own risk
Glimpses of Wolfstar - E, 25k
Glimpses into the lives of Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, in their twenties and disgustingly in love with each other. No plot, just fluff and smut. Set in the timeline of my fic It's a new dawn, but can be read independently. Basically, for context: Voldemort isn't a thing, everyone lives, and Remus is trans.
Crying Wolf - T, 2.5k
Sirius makes a big deal about not feeling well in an attempt to get out of his classes with meager success. But is there a real reason he wants to go down to the infirmary so badly? Or is he just crying wolf?
In the Eye of the Storm - T, 5k
Remus learned early on in life that some things just don't happen for people like him, but upon meeting a certain Sirius Black he slowly learns that maybe there are a few bright spots in the dark. or, The fic where Remus and Sirius are chronically ill and meet in hospital, they form a friendship based on mutual experience and a shared need for comradery in an isolating world. A whole lot of fluff, advice, and difficult situations ensue as they face the easy game of falling in love with one another, and the much harder trials of falling in love with yourself.
Also check out wolfstarlibrarian's hospital au list <3 happy reading

Sirius tells Remus he is a little (age regressor)
Sirius: hey moony, now that we are alone… I really want to tell you about something… *nervous, takes his hand*
Remus: okay you know I won’t judge you for anything…*kisses sirius’ hand*
Sirius: so, you know how sometimes I get really grumpy or… um… very stupidly over excited… pretty much like a child…
Remus: it’s not stupid! But yeah what about it?
Sirius: so I was doing some research and I think I’m a… little *so nervous he starts shaking a bit*
Remus: a little what?
Sirius: *giggles* no I’m a little. Like it’s a noun. Have you heard of age regression?
Remus: I don’t think I have but I can kinda guess what you mean. You think you do that? Regress I mean?
Sirius: yeah… I… you know I read it’s supposed to be a coping mechanism… because you know my parents- *gulps*
Sirius: so yeah I do feel like a child again sometimes *lips quivering*
Remus: hey, that’s okay, look at me…
Sirius: *starts crying because he is so nervous*
Remus: Aww my love there’s no need to cry, come here… *holds sirius* I’m so proud of you for telling me…if you like we could do some more research on this together. I’d be honored to take care of you.
Sirius: *whimpers into Remus’ shoulder*
Remus: don’t resist it. I’m here, I’ll take care of you, I love you.
Sirius: I- *kind of non verbal* moony *wipes eyes*
Remus: *resist violence triggered by endearment* you’re so fuc- freaking adorable…
