Summary
It is him. It is the man with the brown eyes and the thick beard and the strong hands. Nicolò has killed him at least ten times by now, he’s sure of it. And yet...
“You won’t stay dead!” he shouts in irritation.
“I am finding myself with a similar problem in you, Christian,” the man replies in the same tongue.Or: a tale of how two immortals met on opposite sides of a war and fell in love - from Nicolò di Genova's point of view.
Heavily inspired by 'your imperious beauty' by Yarpfish.

Summary
Sirius had stumbled upon Lyall Lupin's funeral by accident and, in a fit spontaneity (brought on by a bout of boredom), he had decided to join. Right now, he is standing in the churchyard - only him and one other person: a tall twenty-something with a chevron moustache, brilliantly windswept brown hair and lovely hazel eyes.
In which Sirius decides to crash a funeral only to find himself chatting up the deceased's son.

Summary
It has been a long and rather tedious day for Remus Lupin and all he wants to do when he gets home is collapse onto the sofa and do nothing for at least fifteen minutes. When he gets home, however, he finds something else waiting for him: Sirius Black, his other half, standing by the staircase with an excited grin on his face. Remus knows that this can only spell trouble for him.
In which Remus deals with some past trauma with the help of his lovely fiancé.
Modern/Non-Magical AU.
Remus/Sirius.(Trigger Warnings for bullying are in the notes. The bullying is not between Remus and Sirius. Sirius is a sweetpea, we all know this.)

Summary
How long had it been now, he wondered. How long had he been sleeping on the floor of this dirty cell with the same thin mattress and blood-and-mud covered threadbare blanket? How long had he been staring at the same four walls, the same metal bars, the same weird-shaped mark on the ceiling? How long had it been since he had last seen his friends, or had a decent meal, or even a good night's sleep?
In which Bellatrix Lestrange is a sadist, Remus Lupin is trapped in a cage, and Regulus Black is actually a good person.
Remus/Sirius.

Summary
Remus Lupin's job is easy for the most part. Sure, some people don't want to be found and put up a fight or try to run, but he is good at what he does, so he always brings his target back. When he is hired to retrieve Sirius Black, however, he finds it to be more of a challenge than anticipated.
In which Sirius is an annoying git who can't stop talking, Remus is really bloody tired, and all's well that ends well.
Modern/Non-Magical AU.
Remus/Sirius.

Summary
A series of stories about the lives and times of Dad (Remus Lupin), Da (Sirius Black-Lupin), and Puppy (Teddy Lupin). Can all be read as stand-alone fics, but all exist in the same universe.
Context: In this non-magical universe, Teddy Lupin was born through surrogacy. His biological mother is Nymphadora Tonks but he was raised by Remus Lupin and Sirius Black-Lupin. The ages are all the same, meaning Remus and Sirius were in their late thirties when their son was born.

Summary
Joe al-Kaysani, professor of art history, has a very clear idea of what he's looking for in a partner: a fellow academic with his shit together who can provide deep intellectual conversations on demand.
Nicolò di Genova, surly food services chef who doesn't even warn people about pork or have a bed frame, does not hit the brief.
Still, there's something magnetic about him, and Joe figures there's no harm in having a little fun while he waits for Prince Charming to arrive.

Oh, my poor little heart. This series is equal parts sexiness and feelings. I have a thing for Yusuf being a bit of a tease and Nicolò being besotted and feral. I am prepared to be devastated by this series, long live the series!

Summary
They don’t talk about it. It was too weird, they agreed. They didn’t mean it, and it shouldn’t have happened, but that doesn’t mean that one night wasn’t incredible for Nicky.
Nicky truly hadn’t thought about Joe that way before. Nicky wasn’t fighting an attraction to Joe while fighting him in their theology class. He didn’t add two and two until they had already made four. After that, it felt wrong thinking about his best friend after they already promised they wouldn’t ruin their friendship. What if something had happened, though? What if something happened, and it wasn’t that different from what was already happening now?
(Written for a prompt on the kink meme: Nicky and Joe are close friends in university who hook up one night after a few drinks, but decide that they don’t want to risk their friendship. Years later, after a series of unsatisfying relationships with other people, they’re both regretting not giving it a go but each of them is nervous to be the one to bring it up.)

This is absolutely amazing. The writing and the characterisations and the story. An actual romantic comedy with feelings? Bravissimo!

I just absolutely love this. It is the first story I read coming into the fanfiction for this fandom and it was exactly what I was looking for. Well-written, well thought-out, and the background that I was needing.

Absolutely brilliant. From characterisation to the story to the feelings induced - definitely a 11/10 story.
