The Things We'd Do For A Coffee Maker (6805 words) by AllThisAndLoveTooWillRuinUs Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, minor James Potter/Lily Evans Potter muggle AU, fake dating

Summary: In which to cover up a lie to Lily, Sirius and Remus have No Choice but to get fake married.   “So what you’re saying is, you’re planning to marry Sirius for. . . fun?” “And for a coffee maker, yes.”

Comment: This fic had everything I want from a fake dating fic, and the premise of Sirius sending Lily a fake wedding invite to get a free coffee maker is just so hilarious, if you haven't read it already I highly recommend reading it!

word count: 40k

description: "Despite the sneaking around and the urgency that serve as constant reminders that this is forbidden, clandestine, there’s no denying the quiet domesticity that creeps in at the edges. That somehow plunges straight through Lily’s chest and grabs her heart with both fists making her want, and want, and want, refusing to let go no matter how hard she tries to dig it out.

But, hey, things could be worse. At least she’s not in love with her.

Things are totally under control, and not at all likely to blow up in her face at any moment."

Lily is a smitten idiot, Narcissa is a complicated mess, and things are about as shambolic and sweet as trying to eat a sticky toffee pudding with no hands.

Eager to emerge victorious, their fellow classmates Remus, Dorcas, Mary, and Peter are willing to do whatever it takes, but beware, unexpected feelings may arise…

The other half strains to run wild, playing pranks and laughing in the way only her closest friends get to see. Neither half has time for a silly crush on the Quidditch team healer.

Poppy Pomfrey only has one goal - make it through Hogwarts and learn enough to become the Healer her family needs. Friends are barely part of that plan, let alone falling for her judgy rival.

Before the Marauders, there were the Pixies. And Minerva, Rolanda, Poppy, and Pomona have their own share of heartache, laughter, mischief, and angst to get through first.

The Hand That Feeds, by rollercoasterwords

pairing: dorlene; side wolfstar + jily

rating: M

word count: 235k

description: Marlene McKinnon is a mess. She can’t sleep, she’s almost certainly going to fail all her NEWTs, and she’s 99% sure that if they don’t win the Quidditch Cup this year James Potter will throw himself headfirst off the Astronomy Tower. On top of all that, there’s a war on, yet their professors seem determined to pretend that the biggest problem any of them are facing is finding a Ministry internship. Marlene’s final year at Hogwarts has barely started, and she’s already pretty sure it couldn’t get any worse—that is, until she shows up for her first Potions class and hears the assignment.

Dorcas Meadowes is a stone-cold bitch. At least, that’s what everyone says. She doesn’t need well-meaning professors or overeager classmates or teammates or boyfriends or friends. She doesn’t need anything except to be left alone, the way she likes, until the day she finally leaves school. And she certainly doesn’t need Marlene McKinnon, with her sharp tongue and her snorting laugh and her stupid shiny hair, who seems intent on ruining everything that Dorcas has been working towards for the past two years.

I Just Can't Stay (Away) by @theresthesnitch

Rated E. 28k. Jily

It's the perfect meet-cute on the plane. They kiss in the airport, and promise to see each other again soon. Then, they find out the devastating truth: their parents are getting married. That should be the end, but it turns out, James and Lily have a hard time forgetting about their new step-sibling.

Rated M. 10k. Wolfstar

Running away doesn’t solve your problems, Remus knows. He still tries after the death of his mother. This is a story about grief, recovery, and love.

Remus meets a kind stranger in his therapist's waiting room. They talk for five minutes each time, until one of them is called in.

When The Party's Over by sweet_s0rr0w

Rated E. 5k. Drarry

Parties aren't quite so much fun when you're accidentally bonded to your sworn enemy. At least, that's what Harry thinks at first...

push and pull you down m0stlyvoid

Rated E. 5k. Drarry

Harry's resigned himself to petty, inconsequential cases and no real connection to his job at the Auror department—after all, what else would he be doing with his time? He's not happy, not really, but that hardly matters. A chance encounter with a mostly-naked Draco Malfoy exposes him to an entirely different world, one much more colourful than the lonely one he currently occupies—but at what cost?

The Beauty of Thestrals and Other Unseen Things by @writcraft

Rated E. 63k. Drarry

Harry has terrific friends, an amazing girlfriend and his job as Head Auror enables him to work on challenging cases and Ministry reform. He just wishes he could work out why he’s been so out of sorts.

When Draco Malfoy is arrested for gross indecency, Harry’s comfortable life begins to unravel. He’s forced to decide if it’s worth risking everything for love in a world where following his heart is a criminal offence.

My Year-End Wrap Up

It's nearing the end of the year and I've read a lot, and I mean a lot of fics this year. Millions of words worth of fics. Refusing to acknowledge I have a problem; that's something I'll face in 2024. It's become my nighttime routine and my favorite thing to do before I fall asleep. I thought I'd do a little roundup of my favorites. They're mostly Wolfstar with a smattering of Dorlene and Jily. These are them, in no particular order:

Let's Play Pretend by MsAlexWp - I had trouble choosing between this and A Potter's Field, which I also highly recommend. I followed this work in progress (now finished) all summer and it was an absolute delight. R/S are both young, single parents and pretend to date to appease the nosy ladies in Sirius's building. It is chicken soup for the soul and will make you both laugh and cry. I can't wait to reread it.

The Fragile House of Black by @fantismal and Jormandugr - This is a series that has a brilliant interpretation of the Prophecy. I don't think it's a stretch to say it's the best magical AU I've ever read. It also has a few Peter POV chapters and gives a backstory for why the betrayal happened, something I feel was undercooked with the original series. Heavy on Black brothers healing. It is perfection.

The Many Lives of Sirius Black by enigmaticblue - A bring back Black treat, also a series. Sirius goes through the veil and meets Regulus, who presents him with a series of doors which will allow him to restart during specific years. We get to explore what it would have been like through each choice.

Honey Honey by @aeoneskova - Marlene is teaching in the muggle world after essentially being exiled for trying to prove Sirius's innocence. That is, until an underfed boy with a scar and glasses ends up in her classroom. This is heavily influenced by Matilda. Marlene is a bad ass loner who can do it all.

The Hand that Feeds by @rollercoasterwords - A canon-compliant Dorlene enemies to lovers fic following the two from Hogwarts through the first war. It gives us an explanation to why Voldemort killed Dorcas personally. This backstory is canon to me.

10 Reasons to Go to Michigan by @greyeyedmonster-18 - Remus returns to his roots in the Upper Peninsula after abruptly leaving a 10 year relationship. This is about finding yourself again, and sometimes finding a little something more. It's just utter perfection. Sirius being a literal potter makes me chuckle.

Just What the Doctor Ordered by @wrapped-up - Sirius finds a stray puppy who he names Padfoot and brings him to the local veterinarian, Dr. Lupin, for help. This is about heartbreak, and finding love, and growing up. It was hard picking just one by wrapped-up because everything she writes is a work of art.

Under a Big Blue Sky by @eyra - Sirius and James, two wealthy city slickers, help out on the Lupins' farm for lambing season. If you liked God's Own Country, I highly recommend this, and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend both.

Don't Panic by redspottywellies - Lesbian Sirius and Remus absconding with Harry after the events of 10/31/81. This fic does action better than any I've read. Pure brilliance.

all the lonely people by superloonyluna - What would you do if a beautiful stranger asked you to join in an all-night heist?

The Archivist by @wanderingbandurria - An author and an archivist team up to uncover the mystery behind the commune in West Godric's Hollow. There is so much thought that went into world building for this fic.

LONG & LUXURIOUS (>10k)

No Strings Attached by allthedeadgays [G, 53.7k]

Marlene [has] been waiting for the opportunity to compete at the Battle of the Bands for a long, long time; and [she's] quite sure that this will be an easy win. Until, that is, they find out that a certain band has also signed up— one that they have known and despised for months.

i was born for this by toulouser [T, 18.7k]

The one where Dorcas becomes Remus' fake girlfriend to make Sirius jealous. Turns out, she was trying to make someone else jealous as well.

seasons in desire by @dykesiriusblack [M, 12.2k]

She wants she wants she wants to move Dorcas’s hand higher and press it between her thighs, pull Dorcas in and let their lips touch. It doesn’t even have to be a full kiss. She would take the suggestion of a kiss, the ghost of one, the memory of one.

MEDIUM & MESMERIZING (3k-10k)

💫 sweet as rot by vaindumbass [M, 7.3k]

They ask her if she's innocent, if maybe she's not guilty. Everyone's guilty, these days, and so is she. If she worked together with Sirius Black, who is now on the run with Remus Lupin, and suspected for the deaths of James and Lily Potter, and the kidnapping of one Harry Potter? She did.

let the ghosts sleep tonight by outlaw_baby [NR, 7.1k]

The war makes ghosts of the bones and Marlene still finds it in her skeleton to be a useless lesbian, grief ridden and all.

💫 marlene mckinnon is not a coward. by AllThisAndLoveTooWillRuinUs [T, 6.1k]

In 1979, in the middle of a war, Marlene starts to come out. (aka a series of conversations in kitchens)

The Haunting at the Briggs Estate by @neurobabie [T, 5.6k]

Marlene is a demon girl trying to find her way in a modern world. Dorcas is starting at a marketing firm and trying to get her life in order. Marlene takes an interest in her, but not for the reasons you'd think.

💫 As The Light Disperses by @blanketed-in-stars [T, 3.9k]

The little house saw them at dusk and dawn and all the dark moments in between.

💫 Painting Marlene by You_must_tell_them_stories [T, 3.5k]

Marlene is lying on their sofa, languid and relaxed, eyes closed and body offered to Dorcas’s gaze. Dorcas paints her.

SHORT & SWEET (<3k)

Sunshine Type by @themaraudershavethephonebox [T, 2.0k]

Broke an attractive girl’s nose in a mosh pit? Least you can do is buy her a drink.

the worst thing that i ever did by dduucckk [T, 2.0k]

It’s funny, Marlene thinks, how in every movie she has ever seen, heartbreak is accompanied by dark clouds and pouring rain. She almost resents the bright summer sky, surely blue and cloudless just to spite her.

wish upon a star (make it shine, make it true) by the_crownless_queen [T, 1.4k]

Dorcas is born with a star on her shoulder blade. Still, for eleven years, that pinprick of light stays a pinprick.

She's on my arm now by JackNSallyGal [G, 1.3k]

They’re walking past the mostly boarded up buildings, hand in hand, when they spot the fresh wanted posters. Dorcas stops first, cocking her head at the sight. “I don’t suppose they could have found a worse picture of me.” “You?” Marlene demands. “I look like the wrong end of a mountain troll.”

love too, will ruin us by lesbian [M, 1.3k]

au where marlene and dorcas kill peter before he gets the chance to rat to voldemort abt the potters bc he was made secret-keeper

vampire sirius black fic recs

@dykesiriusblack so i started looking through my bookmarks and then realised i had way too many and also way too much free time . so. ANYWAY i love all these fics so hope it helps xx

Sharpened Canines by AllThisAndLoveTooWillRuinUs

In the midst of the first war, Remus realizes he's misunderstood why Sirius has been distant.

this fic is just the best!!! it's soft and funny in turns and r/s are so so sweet and domestic <3 also it's very well written, the characterizations r spot on.

A Supplementary Story by elixirsoflife

Honestly, if someone told him this morning that he’s going to be attacked by a vampire on his way back from the library, rejected half a second later because apparently he’s not delicious enough for the guy’s liking, and then have said vampire concerned about his health – well, he’d tell them to check out the local GP when they next have the chance.

Surely this isn’t normal?

must read!!! personal fav!! it's cracky, fluffy and has the perfect perfect remus. he isn't a werewolf here tho, he's just anaemic

they took a lycan to each other by justprompts

"My name is Harry Potter," the boy introduces, sounding rather doubtful himself. "I'm nine years old. I live with my godfather. And his- er. Friend?"

or, au where harry lives with sirius and remus and meets hermione in school

really really funny!! in an absurd and adorable sort of way!!! plus it's wolfstar raising harry and i love au's where sirius isn't sent to azkaban so 10/10

Cherry-Coloured Funk by monetstcroix

Getting turned into a vampire turned out to be a surprisingly enlightening experience for Sirius.

light-hearted and fun. a very satisfying read because of how accurately it shows the ministry and prejudices against creatures etc. ALSO jealous sirius tag!!

backbone of night by blazeofglory

When Sirius Black went missing, there wasn't a single shred of evidence left behind to find him.

Five years later, on a dark, windy night, he shows up outside Remus Lupin's flat.

Taste of Blood by SubtextEquals

On Order business, Sirius is attacked by a creature far worse than any Death Eater: a vampire. Turned into something inhuman, Sirius must escape and find a way to return to what remains of his old life.

oh, what's the matter with me, love by atropos_aeneas

In which Sirius gets attacked by vampires, nobody listens to Remus nearly as much as they should, and somebody in the Order knows more about this incident than they're letting on.

this one is incomplete but it seems very very interesting <3

Little Bits of Light by Stripey

In the midst of sixth year Sirius finds himself dealing with some unexpected changes. He can adapt to the physical changes, he can get over the social ones, but the emotional stuff is a bit more difficult. The whole mess might be a lot easier to deal with if the sun didn't love Remus so much.

they!! are!! so!! gentle!!

Of Secrets and Love Bites by Graceless_Lady

“Shit, Sirius,” James muttered, fiddling with the collar of his shirt.

“Hm?” Sirius questioned vaguely, sauntering into bathroom. James could feel him brushing against him from behind even with his reflection absent from the mirror.

“How am I supposed to cover this up?” James huffed, giving up his attempt to adjust his clothing to hide the two damning puncture marks just to the left of his Adam’s Apple and turning to face the bathroom intruder.

“I don’t remember you complaining at the time,” Sirius said with a wicked smile that exposed his sharp, white canines.

wanted to include this even tho it's j/s because it's REALLY good <3

[aziraphales-library]

Thank you!

if you don’t say it by AllThisAndLoveTooWillRuinUs (G)

after aziraphale helps crowley sober up post spanish inquisition, gabriel puts a "blessing" on aziraphale that prevents him from saying how he feels about crowley. once the armageddidn't is over, aziraphale tries to find other ways to get the message across. technically canon compliant.

Week 26, part two

@theresthesnitch did some favorite reclist this week and I read a few of stories from this & this list.

The Things We'd Do For A Coffee Maker by AllThisAndLoveTooWillRuinUs

Rated G. 7k. Wolfstar

In which to cover up a lie to Lily, Sirius and Remus have No Choice but to get fake married.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie by @krethes

Rated E. 9k. Wolfstar

A week ago, Remus had given him the go-ahead, a blanket approval to do whatever Sirius wanted to him while he was asleep. After hemming and hawing about it for seven days, (re)formulating a plan, and bracing himself for either total failure or sweet, sticky success, Sirius finally plucked up the courage to just do it.

Rourke by @smodernlife ♥️

Rated M. 27k. Wolfstar

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.

Completely blew my mind in the best possible way. Made me want to re-read it immediately because it was so good.

I Fell Heavy Into Your Arms

Rated E. 16k. Jeddy

James has moved home, and he's all grown up. Teddy takes notice.

Crude and Proud by @beesandjam

Rated G. 25k. Wolfstar | sort of textfic

Remus and Sirius are soulmates and whatever they write on their arms appears on the other person's.

Terms and Conditions by @squidgilator

Rated G. 7k. Wolfstar

These terms and conditions create a contract between you and R.J.L. (the “Agreement”). Please read the Agreement carefully. To confirm your understanding and acceptance of the Agreement, check “Agree” and sign.

the beasts of wanting by @moonynpadfootforever

Rated T. 6k. Wolfstar

It's 1979 and Remus and Sirius are roommates once again. Things left unsaid start getting in the way.

Turn On My Charm by @bethansfandoms ♥️

Rated T. 17k. Wolfstar

Sirius Black is a YouTube phenomenon. A YouTube phenomenon who develops a crush on his video editor.
