Summary
There are moments when he misses himself so deeply it feels like mourning. The boy he was before his body began to dictate the terms of his life so thoroughly, before every plan came with calculations, before touch became something to brace for, before pain crept into places it had no business being. He doesn’t remember when that boy slipped away, only that he did, gradually and without announcement, leaving Remus to fill in the gaps as best he could.
The isolation that comes with it is its own kind of ache. Not just the fact that most of it is invisible, though that doesn’t help, but the way it places a quiet distance between him and everyone else, even when he’s in the middle of a room full of people. When someone tells him he looks fine, he knows they mean it kindly, as reassurance, but it lands wrong anyway. Because fine isn’t how he feels when his skin burns, and his joints throb and his body insists, over and over again, on reminding him of its limits. Some weeks are easier; some weeks he almost believes he’s turned a corner. He goes out, laughs, lets himself forget for a little while. He takes that as proof of progress, as something earned.

Summary
This is a true story, provided you accept that truth is not the same as accuracy. This is a true story, in the way all stories are true to at least one person.
In the dystopian future of 2100, in the city of Caligo, Artificial Intelligence governs everything. Remus Lupin, a reclusive technophobe, wants none of it. When he falls in love with someone who seems too perfect to exist, Remus is forced to question what it really means to be human, and who gets to decide.

Summary
The place is not important, he writes next, though he doesn’t quite believe it. He hesitates before finishing the sentence, aware of how easily importance sneaks in through description. It was small and contained, a place that did not announce itself. There was water nearby; a wide, lush river fed by three smaller rivers and three waterfalls. There were trees that didn’t mind being left alone. He chooses the words carefully.
He doesn’t name the girl. That’s another rule. Names are hooks; names are how things get pulled back, dragged into the light, whether they want to be or not. He keeps her distant on purpose, like a figure at the edge of a painting, half-shadowed, easy to miss if you’re not looking for her. Enough to recognise, not enough to touch.
Mike Wheeler decides to write a story about a girl he used to know. He tells himself it's only a story.
Whether any of it is real depends on where you stop reading.

je te laisserai des mots by The_Verity for Sorealis

Summary
What if love was always there, tucked between the lines, waiting in the words left behind?
Sometimes, the only way to say what matters is on parchment. Sometimes, the only way to be brave is to write it down, not speak it out loud. Sometimes, love is a letter you never send. Sometimes, the words that mean the most are the hardest to read. Sometimes, it takes a lifetime's worth of letters to finally find your way back home.
And sometimes, maybe, that's enough.
An epistolary story tracing the lives of Sirius and Remus through decades of Christmas letters across friendship, first dates, war, betrayal, exile, painful truths and finally, the long way home. 1971-2000 (and beyond).

Summary
The plan was simple: brew a complicated potion, become animagi, surprise Remus. Be heroes.
But when he turns into a dog, Sirius starts feeling... funny. He’s too distracted - by squirrels, by nausea, by the thought of Remus’ hands - to turn back. Something’s definitely... off.
Luckily, Remus knows all about surviving transformations gone wrong.
Featuring good intentions, poor food choices, and a bit of snogging.

Summary
It's New Year's Eve, and magic is curling around their kind with a mischievous hope.
Sirius is in his — their, but Remus left already — flat, waiting, waiting, waiting. His leg bounces, and when it stops it, the other takes over; he's fighting his own dignity not to start pacing like a lion in a cage, eyes on the door, then on the chimney, attentive to any sign of an upcoming arrival.
Or: A quiet, nice evening with James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, and a surprise Regulus. Also, Harry is here.
