    Summary

    It’s his sixth year at Hogwarts, and Remus Lupin has no intentions of making any major changes to his daily routine. He’s a creature of habit; of schedules and lists and predictability, and of comfort…when he has the option.

    James Potter, however, has all the intentions of making major changes to Remus’s daily routine. It’s out of love, Remus knows this, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.

    And, as the year progresses, James isn’t the only one testing the boundaries of his friendship with Remus Lupin.

    Summary

    What took place in the Lycanthropy ward was thankless, rotten work. Sickening for those who didn’t care for the monsters; heart wrenching for those few who did.
    Remus had an inkling of which category Lily belonged to, and he didn’t think it was fair that she had to go through this so early in her studies.
    “Why would you choose this ward, Lily?” he asked again, gently.

     

    Remus Lupin (19 years old, formerly homeschooled, currently employed in a bookshop, forever afflicted with lycanthropy and a cheeky mother) leads a peaceful - if a bit lonely - life.

    Enter up-and-coming Healer in training Lily Evans, stubborn and determined to make a friend out of the sarcastic little shit that is her favourite patient. Secrets are disclosed, closets are exited, family is found. Lives are changed for the better.

    Summary

    “All in all, the build up to Hogwarts just made Remus feel more and more depressed as each day passed until September 1st. Why couldn’t he just be normal? he thought, lying on his bed one night. He just wanted a normal school experience without having to deal with his stupid body and his stupid lycanthropy. Having to hide so much, and having to transform every single month for the rest of his life. Every. Single. Bloody. Month. As well as going through the wrong damn puberty. It was all wrong. Everything was wrong.

    Remus bit into his pillow. The whole situation, every overwhelming emotion pressing against his chest, just made him want to scream.”

    ~~~

    Remus Lupin has more than one secret, and there’s no way of knowing who he can trust. All he has are his parents, but they can’t protect him when he goes off to Hogwarts.

    But then Remus meets a boy and his two other friends, and soon realises that some secrets can’t be kept forever.

    Canon compliant if you want it to be. Personally, this is more self-indulgent than anything.

    Disclaimer: I am writing this as nothing more than a big, long, over-complicated fuck you to jk rowling.

    Summary

    “The moon is so beautiful,” Sirius whispered, eyes wide as he stared at it in the sky, the light bouncing off of his awed face.

    I would give it to you, Remus thought helplessly, eyes transfixed on something so much more beautiful than the orb that he resented in the sky. Just take it out of the sky and hand it to you. I would give you anything you asked for.

    a purely self-indulgent wolfstar fake dating fic, featuring slytherin remus and all of our favorite tropes <3

    …Just so I could call you mine.

     

    (In which Remus Lupin rightfully deduces that something fishy is going on and refuses to (1) allow Sirius Black to rot in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit, and (2) allow Harry to be neglected by his horrible Muggle relatives.)
