    Summary

    Marlene McKinnon is struggling with her past, and the way Dorcas Meadowes keeps looking at her is beyond distracting.
    Sirius Black is feeling the after-effects of being disowned over the summer, not to mention what he did last year.
    Remus Lupin has more than one secret that he's hiding from everyone, and it's becoming too much to bear.
    James Potter may have a crush on Lily Evans, but it's Regulus Black that he finds himself worrying about late at night.
    --
    When Marlene and Sirius are paired together in Potions, their partnership leads to friendship which leads to half the school thinking they're dating. Jealousy, fighting, epiphanies, revelations, drinking, and confessions ensue.
    --
    Rated M for violence and past abuse.

    Summary

    LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
    1971 - 1995

    This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

    PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

    Summary

James Potter comes with the idea to pay a close friend of his a visit in his tattoo shop. He knows from experience that Sirius does a wonderful job covering up all kinds of scars, surely he can help Remus with those two lines on his chest. The only problem is: Remus has no clue what he wants his new and only tattoo to look like, and their priorities shift when a mysterious stranger shows up on Sirius' doorstep.

    Summary

    James Potter and Regulus Black are detectives who have worked in the same police station since they passed their qualifications. Being partnered together is Regulus’ worst nightmare, and their not-so-friendly rivalry is often the only thing that gets James through the day.

    James’ best friend and Regulus’ brother, Sirius Black is a mildly successful freelance artist, desperately just trying to get by in life, his current part-time job as a parking attendant is perhaps his worst to date.

    Remus Lupin is a Year 4 teacher with a very specific set of morals, who just wants to get his marking done and have a nap.

    Will James and Regulus ever see eye-to-eye? Will Sirius be able to make artistry work? Will Remus ever get a full night's sleep? A parking ticket, an undercover operation and a whole lot of chaos may help our heroes on their way to happiness.

    Summary

    “Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.

    “Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.

    “The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.

    “S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.

    “Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

    ---

    Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?
