    Summary

    Everything is going right. This year is going to be epic.

    And then the train compartment door slides open. And everything stops.

    James’ knee pauses, his mouth freezes, his stomach drops.

    Sirius is a skeleton standing in the doorway.

    OR

    James tries to control his anger in the wake of Sirius’ abuse.

    Summary

    They’re so close. Sirius can feel Remus’ hot, bated breath on his skin. He can see every one of Remus’ honey freckles and the white spiderwebs that course through his scar tissue. He can hear every one of Remus’ sharp inhales and shaky exhales; It’s the only sound he can hear above his own heart racing through his veins.

    And his heart is doing that —racing. But it’s not like a thud, thud, thud in his chest or even a soft, fluttering sound like a warm, Irish lilt. The sound is more like a swoosh, like a pendulum swing, jumping from white-hot anticipation to cold-blooded fear and back again.

    -or-

    Remus is a storm blowing through Sirius’ small town and Sirius is laid out on the waterlogged cobblestone streets waiting to be washed away.

    Summary

    "(...) he had found himself wanting Remus, Moony, with his gentle voice, to not tell him that it would be okay, but that it was okay and fucked up, but okay still, and that was when he realised – in a daze, while frantic thoughts were racing through his mind, making everything he had unconsciously been hiding for so long known in the most brutal way – that no, Remus Lupin was not only a friend."

    Sirius has a lot feelings, Remus has his own issues too, and James is a very good best friend.

    Summary

    Wolfstar Games 2020 - Team Sound / Prompt: typewriter

     

    “Lupin didn’t seem pleased that I was filming last night,” Sirius said lightly.

     

    “Most people that come here…” Lily spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully, “Remus put it like this to me once: most people who choose to spend years of their life so far from civilization have a reason for leaving it behind. Remus wanted someone like us and he held out for so long because he expected he would get sent a bunch of finicky artsy types. I don’t think he expected you. And now that you’re here, I don’t think he quite knows what to do with you.”

     

    When wildlife filmmaker Sirius Black arrives on a remote Antarctic island for a year-long assignment, he isn't phased by the freezing wind, the perpetual darkness, or the hostility he meets from some of the biologists at the research base. He is used to living an itinerant existence. He is comfortable with unforgiving conditions. He expects the world to treat him harshly. But he does not expect to fall in love.

    Summary

    South Africa, 1981.
    Remus Lupin, 17 years old, is leaving home for the first time to serve his military conscription. But he's carrying a terrible secret with him; one that could cost him his friends, his freedom or perhaps even his life. He knows the army doesn't like people like him; hiding the truth about his sexuality is his only hope of survival.
    Easily enough done - he's had years of practice at it, after all. But then one Sirius Black steps into his world and upsets everything.

    ***
    [A non-magical AU set in South Africa in the 1980's. Read the author's note, please!!]
