By: drowsyanddazed
Three years since Remus had stared down at that hand, a bit bewildered, before reaching out to grasp it and Sirius had smiled up at him, butterscotch sweet, and his hand had been soft and warm and Remus hadn’t wanted him to let go. The feeling has never gone away.

Through the white night (3k)

hello!!!! as autumn is beginning i have been craving some fall wolfstar fics so i would love recs :) specifically hogwarts era but honestly anything would be perfect
Hi anon🌸 You are so right for craving that! Here you have some fics to read, sitting under your blanket with a cup of tea🍂
Hogwarts era:
As Red As Hearts And Autumn (47k)
By: Rosie_Rues
It's the autumn of Sixth Year, there's a flu epidemic at Hogwarts, and the Blacks want their heir back.
Themes: Hogwarts era; slow burn; friends to lovers; epidemic (I read this during Covid but it was written in 2005 and that felt sort of wild I remember)
Fall, the Season of Love (14k)
By: IngeniumNoctuam
Fall is a surprising season and also, apparently, the season of love. Remus finds himself caught up in this seasonal parasite, despite his best efforts. An argument and a jumble of, mostly drunken, memories ensue.
Or, an ode to fall.
Themes: Hogwarts era; angst; Sirius is a bit cruel (but it’s done so well I promise!); self-esteem issues; happy ending.
Come In From the Cold (8k)
By: goodboylupin (somebetterwords)
The first Hogsmeade weekend of sixth year. Alternatively: In which Sirius frets and works to keep Remus warm, James argues it’s not that cold, Remus wishes the cold brought something more, and Peter just wishes everyone would get their heads out of their asses.
Themes: Hogwarts era; Hogsmeade date; misunderstanding; pining Remus; oblivious Sirius; meddling James; fluff.
Not hogwarts era:
ten reasons (to go to michigan) (59k)
By: greyeyedmonster18
A story of simple pleasures, love, and home.
Themes: muggle!au; adult!wolfstar; strangers to lovers; slow burn; grief; Sirius raises Harry; found family. (Will break your heart and then glue it back together)
Ullswater (31k)
By: eyra
A winter term at The Ullswater Institute: late-night rehearsals, dormitory karaoke, and secrets, kept in the labyrinthine corridors underneath the cavernous, frescoed auditorium.
Themes: muggle!au; university; music; friends to lovers; jealous Sirius; panic attacks; disabled remus; SO well-written. (Also: eyra has written many more autumnal fics!!)
On Edge (7k)
By: wannnabesuper
Every time they meet, Remus gives Sirius a new ridiculous reason for having been on the cliff where they met.
Themes: muggle!au; strangers to lovers; a misty cliffside; first fluff then some angst.
Harmonicas, Hinky-punks, and Heather (24k)
By: mblematic
Sirius and Remus get stranded in Scotland on Order business, and decide to walk to Hogwarts. Featuring the Brontës, a harmonica, a shrinking tent, and some self-discovery.
Themes: post-Hogwarts; first war era; rain; camping; friends to lovers; no angst.
Liebestraum (101k)
By: lunchbucket
“Do you still have a lot of friends in the area, then?”
“None,” Remus answered simply, which felt much easier than explaining at the level of detail that the question actually deserved.
Themes: muggle!au; post-break up; getting back together; slow burn; NYC; classical piano; musicians!wolfstar; adult!wolfstar; angst. (A classic. But if you’ve already read it, I think it’s time for a reread, don’t you?)
Degrees of Intersection (28k)
By: muse_in_absentia
Sometimes it takes two people who are a little broken coming together, not to heal, but to understand that being broken is okay.
Themes: muggle!au; strangers to lovers; writer!sirius; editor!remus; depression; suicidal thoughts and SH (read the tags!!!); angst with a happy ending. (I THINK this is set it autumn - but mainly it’s the angst in this that gives me autumn vibes)
Love,
Elliot🍂

Hi! I'm looking for a fic I once read that was a theater AU. I think Sirius was an actor and Remus was a costume designer and the show was Hedwig and the Angry Inch?
Hi anon🌸 Could the fic you’re looking for perhaps be this one?
Midnight Radio (12k)
by EverythingButColdFire
Sirius is an actor in his late twenties. Enter Remus: the wardrobe supervisor and dresser for his new show.

Hi!!!!!!! Long time lurker first time asker here—do you have any interesting fics that take place in the summer? I feel like I've been losing myself in nostalgia for being a teenager since it started getting hot by me and I'd love to read a fic that compliments that feeling well!
Hi🌸 You read my mind, long time lurker — I’ve been thinking of putting together a proper summery-nostalgic list for some time now. Your request finally made me do it(: So here you go! My favourite summer wolfstar fics, all of them with that sweet, soft nostalgic touch☀️
the summer you let your hair grow out

*the apple caught between your teeth
by drowsyanddazed (13k)
The warm, July sun is unadulterated in its naked heat; blisteringly sweet and unbearingly heavy. It makes Sirius’ shirt cling to his chest, turns his bones lazy, and it colours Remus’ cheeks with a dusting of honey freckles.
So many freckles.
So many that Sirius wonders where they all hide in the frosty, winter months.
Themes: summer at remus’; disowned sirius; pov!sirius; friends to lovers; coming out; pining; so well-written I could cry.
*June, and Other Natural Disasters
by montparnasse (5k)
Sirius talks, begs, and bribes Remus into a spontaneous trip to Brighton the summer of their graduation. Remus loses all sense of direction; Sirius loses his shirt; Remus kisses the last moth-eaten vestiges of his sanity a long, sloppy goodbye.
Themes: summer trip; pov!remus; pining remus; friends to lovers; sexual tension and smut; poetic prose.
*Everything Under The Sun
by moongnome (26k)
The summer of '76. Remus wants Sirius. Sirius doesn't know what he wants.

Themes: muggle!au; writer!remus; pov!sirius; strangers to lovers; Arthurian legend; everybody and their mother has read and loved this; but it’s very summery so it’s gotta be here!!
tomorrow, when the world is free
by turntechnodhead (2k)
Sirius, in a tour-guide voice: “The White Cliffs of Dover, part of the North Downs formation, is the region of English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 110 metres, owes its striking appearance to the composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint-”
“Padfoot, mate, you never told us you could read,” says James. Sirius whacks the back of his head with the guidebook.
Themes: road trip; pov!remus; pining remus; fluff; pre-slash.
Camping, Comfort, and Clichés
by oliverdalstonbrowning (5k)
Remus goes on a camping trip with his friends, and discovers all the comfort and clichés that go with it.

*Hard To Find
by accioromulus (13k)
The air conditioning is already broken, Sirius's back has been effectively glued to the leather seat via sweat, and this road-trip may have been a Very Bad Idea.
Themes: road trip; muggle!au; pov!sirius; pining; so so soft and summery; friends to lovers.
Out There
by halictus (21k)
Sirius has to go backpacking to fulfill a college graduation requirement. He is comfortable in his own skin, he has friends, he has passions. But he's still learning how to fit himself into loosely-defined spaces. Remus is a graduate student leading the trip. He loves nature, and backpacking, and being outside, and smiling, and having lots of energy. They both have some learning to do—not necessarily tactfully.
Themes: muggle!au; backpacking; nature; strangers to lovers; good discussion on privilege!
one for the road
by rojohbi (4k)
Piling into the car was uncomfortable and cramped, but there was something oddly satisfying about sitting on ratty blankets in the backseat, a box of fresh comfort food at his feet and Sirius’ legs splayed over his lap as the other backseat-inhabitant nestled himself into the corner and almost immediately began snoring. James met his eyes through the rearview, and this time when he saw the knowing smile, Remus smiled right back.
Themes: road trip; pov!remus; pining remus; self-esteem issues (remus); accidental confession; genderfluid sirius.
the private kind of purple
by greenscape (6k)
Post-grad summer. They are reaching for things they cannot name.
Or, it's four days out of Hogwarts and Sirius and Remus go wild camping in Scotland.
Themes: camping; light angst; soft and well-written af; friends to lovers.
*Beneath a Big Blue Sky
by eyra (68k)
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

*Light in August
by orestesfasting (21k)
Summer, 1977. With the full moon approaching, Sirius heads up to the Lupins' countryside cottage to make himself useful. Or to make a complete and utter arse out of himself, because really, that's all he can seem to do around Remus these days.

It's nearly the last day of fifth year, and Sirius really isn't looking forward to the summer.

*Another Bright Day
by rilla (20k)
It's 1978 and the Marauders have just left school. James has fallen for Lily, Sirius is smarting about it, and Remus has complicated feelings of his own that he needs to work out during the last summer before they all have to find their way into the real world.
Themes: post-hogwarts; first war; holiday by the sea; pov!remus; pining remus; beautiful prose!!
Fearless Liabilities
by femme_de_lettres (200k)
Summer camp. Six weeks of planning activities, leading campers, and getting up to no good. It's no different than the last decade that Remus and his friends have spent in rural Wisconsin. Except Remus' heart keeps trying to tell him that he's in love with his best friend, Sirius can't believe he's fallen for the one person who he knows is unequivocally straight, James is starting to lose faith that Lily will ever actually consider going on a date with him, and Peter? Peter's just trying to keep his friends from getting in over their heads.
Themes: muggle!au; summer camp; long boy; American au; homophobia; panic attacks; fluff.
Heat
by LadyAmina (2k)
The summer air is too warm. The campfire isn't helping. Neither is Sirius's head in his lap. Neither is the burning blood in his veins. Remus is overwhelmed and something has to give.
Themes: camping; pov!remus; remus is jealous and very emotional about it poor baby; fluff.
blue, orange
by Avvu (5k)
It's the first summer after Hogwarts, and they have nothing else to talk about than Peter's dead father. / There are blue and orange postcards on the fridge door, and behind them, there are words Sirius knows by heart.
Themes: angst; first war era; canon compliant; the ending is sort of happy but also not that happy because you know what happens later yk.
Ocean Above & Sky Below
by grandilloquism (8k)
Sirius, adrift and floundering at the advanced age of 23, rents out a mansion by the sea— as you do— in an effort to recapture his happiness. It works surprisingly well.
Themes: post-Hogwarts; no war; pov!sirius; growing up; friends to lovers.

Motion Sickness
by oscarwildechilde (46k)
The Lupins are moving again, and Remus is determined to be miserable following his disastrous fifth year and the fallout of Sirius' prank. Not speaking to any of his friends, he's resigned to go at it alone. That is, of course, until he finds out that he's moved to the same town as Lily Evans.
Themes: post The Prank; centred on the lupin family; Lily-Remus friendship; disowned sirius; friends to lovers; fluff.
Reeled
by lunchbucket (5k)

FLATMATES (part 2)
Two years ago today I made my flatmates rec list, which is my favourite list ever. I never get tired of this trope. So, since it is once again my birthday, here are some lovely additions!
losing my mind, thinking about you, by drowsyanddazed (16k)
The black kohl along his water line is smudged, black flecks of it dusting his cheekbone. His hair is still flying everywhere, whipping across his face. He’s a mess. He’s the blurred edges of a photograph. He’s a heartbeat and stinging lungs. He’s the rattling behind Remus’ ribcage. And Sirius grins at him, tongue between teeth —illecebrous and tantalising and all things beautiful and dangerous— and all the air rushes out of Remus’ lungs in one fell swoop. He’s lightheaded and dizzy and burning.
An absolute gem, this one. In which the first wizarding war is on the rise, but the boys are flatmates and they go grocery shopping!! The jealousy and pining is perfect.
Heat the Winter Floods + A Little Sincerity Is a Dangerous Thing, by daphnaea (6k)
(Two parts)
It was funny, Sirius thought, the things you could fail to learn about your best mate despite sharing a dormitory for seven years.
A story of pining for you flatmate, in two parts. Set during the first war, it’s slightly angsty but oh so lovely and well-written.
Seeing Other People, by swings_and_roundabouts (21k)
Where Sirius is hopelessly in love with Remus Lupin who is always just a little out of reach. But their friends with benefits situation isn't sustainable, Remus is so close yet so far away and Sirius doesn't know if he can take it anymore.
Once again, they live together and are friends with benefits. Lots of pining, jealousy and idiocy follows, as well as a sort of “break-up”. This is quite angsty, very much a “requited unrequited love” kind of fic (which I LOVE).
Friends Don't, by shadow_prince (2k)
That didn’t stop him from glancing over the top of the paper to where he stood at the edge of the hallway. He was frozen in the way you froze just before you kicked off the ground on your broom. Right before a runner pushed off the block. Right before you dove off a cliff into the sea. Frozen with the promise of movement about to burst forth.
Sirius watched him, holding his breath.
“You’re lying.”
Short and sweet, less angst and more fluff!
the son and heir of nothing in particular, by @steelycunt (24k)
Remus is nineteen and tired, now. And he knows that if he and Sirius were ever going to become anything—if Sirius loved Remus the way Remus loves, and will probably always love, him—it already would’ve happened.
Another fic that proves that this trope is the absolute best. In which Remus is a stubborn prick (we love him) who refuses to move in with Sirius — but in the end he has no choice. There’s arguing, hurt feelings, and a stupid amount of pining. And, let’s now forget, the writing is out of this world lovely. Ridi’s characterisation of Remus is to die for. A must read!
Don't Make Me Beg For You (Because I'll Beg For You), by CuriousMay (14k)
“What?”
"You know, Rita Schaffer? She was that 4th year who had that incident with Bleatchley's Beauty Bleach in '75 just after our exams and Madam Pomfrey had to regrow all her hair-" Remus starts as he puts down the tomato but Sirius cuts him off with a sharp wave of his hand.
"No, not that, you idiot. The other bit. You said - you said you're in love with me?"
This fic was so much fun! In which Remus thinks that everyone, including Sirius, knows that he’s in love with him. Turns out: Sirius didn’t know. Some big realisations, pining and lots of sexual tension ensue.
Practical Oddities, by lurikko (48k)
Regulus needs a place to stay, Remus needs to get over Sirius. It’s August 1979 and things are getting out of hands.
In which Remus lives on Sirius’ sofa. That is, until Regulus shows up. Slow burn and beautiful pining in a First War setting. Lovely!
stars by the pocketful, by simplyylupin (16k)
But Sirius, Sirius is winter. He’s the cold mornings that startle you awake the instant you step outside. He’s the intricate snowflakes, the blunt shards of ice. He’s the holiday cheer, the twinkling lights and dainty decorations. He’s Aurora Borealis twisting around blinking stars. Remus always feels like he’s dying during winter. And if that isn’t the most ironic thing.
A wintery muggle au 5+1 fic full of not so subtle mutual pining. Very very cute!
Hic sunt dracones, by aryastark_valarmorghulis (5k)
Remus and Sirius try putting on makeup and end up trying a lot more: sex, kissing, and maybe even talking about feelings.
Well-written and spicy🌶️ Also very sweet! Poor Remus is pining like mad, and then he has to live through Sirius putting makeup on him? Torture☺️
I've sat upon the setting sun, by fiddleleafedfig (4k)
Sirius could see the swoop of long eyelashes that lined the brown eyes, still glued to the notebook in front of him. And as those sunrays danced, Sirius felt something heavy hit the pit of his stomach, simultaneously lodging itself in his throat.
A short story of falling in love over the years. They don’t live together in the beginning, but they do later on. Sweet fluff!

Hi! I am looking for pining fics where Sirius or Remus are dating/hooking up with other people and the other has to sadly and quietly pine (but they eventually get together).
Especially if it is at hogwarts and maybe the other person sees or hears something they wish they hadn’t? Non-hogwarts also welcome! Love me some pining and miscommunication that gets worked out!
Hi love🌸 Here’s my best try! If I remember correctly, all of the Hogwarts ones include some sort of scene where Sirius walks in on Remus and someone else (;
Hogwarts era:
Befriending A Ravenclaw, by kreestar (55k)
Remus is a Ravenclaw Prefect and Sirius is finding it harder and harder to admit he isn't obsessed with him.
In which Sirius thinks he’s straight (surprise, he’s not), and gets very confused (read: jealous) when Remus gets a boyfriend. Slow burn pining on all sides — it’s bloody wonderful!
Casanova of Gryffindor Tower, by Moonystar_394 (16k)
In sixth year, Sirius Black had two major realizations.
First and foremost, Sirius was utterly, irrevocably and in an almost excruciatingly embarrassing way head over heels for his best friend.
Secondly, his best friend was kind of a slut.
In which everyone’s in love with Remus (as they should be), Remus is oblivious, and Sirius gets veeeery sexually frustrated. I love it!
Falling Into Place, by GreenEyedGoddess (6k)
There's always been something special about Remus Lupin, even if it's taken Sirius Black until his seventh year to realize it. Too bad he spends so much time agonizing over his changing feelings that he loses his chance. In which Remus acts like an idiot, Marlene is the snarky voice of reason, James is a mother hen, Peter is confused, and Sirius is seriously jealous.
They are so stupid!!! (I love them). In which r and s kiss, but then they completely fail to communicate afterwards. Can they talk to each other? no no no! Instead Remus starts dating Dirk Cresswell (because of a misunderstanding, ofc). Much jealousy and pining ensues.
Just Like Best Friends Do, by MsAlexWP (4k)
After uselessly pining for three years Remus decides, finally, to get Sirius out of his system by shagging as many blokes as he can. It doesn’t go quite as planned.
So much stupidity and miscommunication in one little fic! Jealous!sirius, oblivious!remus, and lots of mutual pining. #clown-to-clown-communication. Also, Remus is really hot (;
Non-hogwarts:
talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, by beep348 (20k)
Remus and Sirius are in the same literature seminar at university and while Remus is great at reading books he is very bad at reading people.
Ok so this is a muggle!au and I know I’ve recced this before. But it’s so good so here we go again! If you haven’t read this already, you definitely should!!! In which Remus is under the impression that Sirius is dating Mary. Things get complicated. Misunderstanding deluxe! It’s so so so lovely and well-written! Lots of pining and jealousy, a beautiful slow burn (for 20k).

Happy birthday remu!
My favourite little man of all. To celebrate, here are some lovely fics with some very special remus characterisations!
Berlin Angel,
by de_sire (90k)
Berlin is absolutely miserable in February. Or it’s just Sirius.
Alternatively: A story of how Remus Lupin stepped into Sirius’ life, flashed his trademark grin, and reminded him that life is a beautiful thing meant to be enjoyed. No risk, no fun!
A muggle!au, slow burn strangers to lovers (Sirius is so stupidly oblivious!! I love it!!). Remus is literally sunshine in a person. A very different take on Remus, and I love him so very much!
take a shot of holy water,
by pinkpalaceapartments (73k)
a year after cutting ties with his family and taking steps to improve his life after coming to terms with his role in the tragic death of his best friend, sirius black reconnects with his past at an engagement dinner for a friend he thought he’d lost and the family he’d left behind. there he meets a priest named remus lupin, who is about to change the course of his life forever.
A fleabag au. Remus is the hot priest. *gulp*
Rourke,
by sreka (27k)
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.
A wonderful muggle au that gives us scientist!remus. Let’s say he’s not the biggest fan of people. (I feel you darling)
A Brief History of Dragons,
by eyra (23k)
Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.
A very special remus that holds a permanent spot in my heart. He is everything.
from white-hot anticipation to cold-blooded fear and back again,
by drowsyanddazed (20k)
Remus is a storm blowing through Sirius’ small town and Sirius is laid out on the waterlogged cobblestone streets waiting to be washed away.
A Hogwarts era fic in which Remus is a confident Ravenclaw. He’s got rizz, as the TikTok people say. Sirius, naturally, doesn’t stand a chance.
Tidal Pull,
by Deya (10k)
Sirius sees a handsome stranger picking along the mud of the Thames foreshore and he needs to know more. He encounters Remus Lupin a man obsessed with the history buried in the London mud. Together they share moments and small treasures and grow together.
A beautiful fic in which Remus is mudlarking nerd. We love him.
Fine Motor Skills,
by femme_de_lettres (6k)
Sirius Black's car needs work—again. Meanwhile, Remus Lupin is amused to see his favorite customer back at his mechanic's shop.
A meet-cute in which Sirius owns a book shop and Remus is the mechanic—how the tables have turned! Adorable.
Happy holiday to all those who celebrate today<3

Asdfghjkkl this fic makes me MELT. It’s just so soft and hot and amazingly written and please just give me more. It’s smutty, but it’s done beautifully. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: montparnasse’s prose is orgasmic. Also! The Christmas feeling in this fic is wonderful🎄

You should know that this fic is pretty smutty though - but I still love it, and I’m not the biggest fan of smut. It’s just so hot and beautiful, with a lovely Christmas feel to it.
Advent, by coyotesuspect (39k)
25 days of December, 1976. This beautiful fic is remarkable! MWPP era, 6th year - Christmas is coming to Hogwarts, all whilst a war is looming on the horizon.

Hi! Could you rec some fics where at the beginning remus is in a relationship with somone else? Sorry if you've already answered something similar to this 😅
Hi anon🌸 Thank you for this lovely request! I just wanna clarify: Remus might not be in a relationship in the beginning of each of these fics — but at some point he’s dating someone else. Sirius is not happy.
Happy birthday, you.,by WrappedUp (66k)
Sirius Black is about to turn thirty. But, like, it’s not a whole thing. It’s fine. And he’s absolutely not going to have a meltdown, fall in love with his oldest friend, and sabotage his own happiness.
He’s absolutely not.
General themes: muggle!au; slow burn; oblivious!sirius; jealous sirius; pining; hurt/comfort; happy ending; Remus/OC.
lover, you should've come over, by dykesiriusblack (105k)
Sirius Black is a mess.
Remus Lupin is new.
It's all quite complicated.
or
The story of Remus and Sirius meeting at age 20, falling in love without meaning to, and not knowing how the fuck to deal with it for far too long.
General themes: muggle!au; ANGST!!!; themes of depression and anxiety (read the tags carefully!); slow burn; friends with benefits; happy ending; beautiful prose; Remus/OC.
a sawn off shotgun, by dykesiriusblack (14k)
But the stage lights blur out the crowd and Sirius gets to his knees in front of Remus with their guitar and bass between them, and he does it again in their hotel room, has been doing it since their first tour, has been wanting to do it since he first learned about wanting, the kind that ruins you.
a band, a tour, and the kind of undefined relationship that drives you insane.
General themes: band!au; friends with benefits; jealous!sirius; beautiful prose; Remus/OC (it’s a fake relationship tho)
Befriending A Ravenclaw, by kreestar (55k)
Sirius has made a point to never learn the names of anyone in other Houses. There was no need to, in his astute opinion. Everyone who was not in Gryffindor must lack some intrinsic qualities which would therefore make them utterly intolerable as companions. And the Marauders - all three of them - did not need any intolerable fourths, thank you very much.
i.e, Remus is a Ravenclaw Prefect and Sirius is finding it harder and harder to admit he isn't obsessed with him.
General themes: Hogwarts era; canon divergence; Ravenclaw!Remus; oblivious!Sirius; jealous!Sirius; Remus/OC.
A Bird At Your Door, by moongoblin (32k)
Of pub quizzes, old films, Chinese takeaways, broken arms, and impassioned discussions of literature: Remus is confusing, and Sirius is just trying to figure him out.
General themes: muggle!su; uni!au; slow burn; pining; jealous!sirius; light angst; happy ending; Remus/Gilderoy Lockhart (briefly).
Paper Walls, by Kember (66k)
Have you ever lived with a person you just can’t stand? Everything about them rubs you the wrong way, and yet, you can’t help thinking what it would be like to kiss them… Yeah, welcome to the life of Remus Lupin. He just wants to keep his head down, crack on with his studies, and maybe graduate at some point in the future. But his juvenile crush on his arrogant, impulsive, reckless housemate, Sirius Black, is going to be a major bump in that perfect road.
General themes: muggle!au; university!au; flatmates; light enemies to lovers; Remus/Mary (only temporarily ofc).
Enjoy! (Also, hi! I haven’t disappeared I promise)

NATURE THEMED RECS🌿
Summer’s here, but I’m poor and stuck in the city. So, I wanna rec some fics that make me feel….nature-y. You know what I mean, now let’s go!
Beneath a Big Blue Sky, by eyra (69k)
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.
Eyra needs to be put first on this list, cause they’re most definitely the king of the nature-vibe. Always beautiful descriptions of nature, always. Go read everything they’ve written! You will fall in love with Yorkshire, trust me.
the private kind of purple, by greenscape (6k)
Post-grad summer. They are reaching for things they cannot name.
Or, it's four days out of Hogwarts and Sirius and Remus go wild camping in Scotland.
Beautifully written and slightly angsty—a perfect read for a rainy summer’s day!
How Fragile We Are, Between the Few Good Moments, by emergencymanagement (24k)
By the time it’s dark, there’s a fire crackling before them. The tent is set up. There are two chairs propped up by the fire. They have cooked and eaten dinner, and they are sitting in silence. It reminds Sirius of the dinners at home after he got sorted into Gryffindor, or after his mother found the letters from his friends, or lately, whenever he dares to show his face around the house at all. What lives in that space isn’t actually silence. Silence is absence. This thing that hangs between him and his mother, now between him and Remus, is the presence of something suffocating and cutting. It doesn’t serve as a placeholder for noise, it serves as a punishment. It cleaves him to the bone, flays him until he wants to cry. The soft, knotting feeling in his chest he feels when he wants to let tears out but can’t is rising in him. Sirius doesn’t know how to kill it except to hiss, “Well if you’re mad at me just fucking say so.”
Oh I love this so much!! It’s post-The Prank, and it’s done beautifully. It’s angsty, Remus is angry and the first war is coming ever closer. Also, it’s wonderfully written, making the Welsh nature feel almost dreamlike. It’s beautiful!
Highland Fling [+podfic], by picascribit (38k)
2004: The summer before college, Sirius goes backpacking through Scotland in order to escape his family's expectations. In a small village in the Highlands, an unexpected flirtation turns his whole world upside down. Alternately, the story of how Scotland loves Remus and wants him to be happy.
I read this a loooong time ago, but I still remember how this fic made me wanna visit the Scottish highlands. I also remember that this was a bit too smutty for me back then….perhaps it’s time for a reread.
Harmonicas, Hinky-punks, and Heather, by mblematic (24k)
Sirius and Remus get stranded in Scotland on Order business, and decide to walk to Hogwarts. Featuring the Brontës, a harmonica, a shrinking tent, and some self-discovery.
Once again: camping in Scotland, but this time with absolutely no angst! This fic is sweet and funny through and through!
Out There, by halictus (21k)
Sirius has to go backpacking to fulfill a college graduation requirement. He is comfortable in his own skin, he has friends, he has passions. But he's still learning how to fit himself into loosely-defined spaces. Remus is a graduate student leading the trip. He loves nature, and backpacking, and being outside, and smiling, and having lots of energy. They both have some learning to do—not necessarily tactfully.
Here you have some hiking, but on the other side of the Atlantic! Camping, skinny dipping and thunderstorms—and some strangers to lovers!
The Predatory Wasp, by munacy (23k)
Remus continues, “Alright then...of the survivors...I would marry Wormy.” Peter lets out an elated squeal. “I know for a fact that he can cook really well, he’s quite easygoing, and he’d make a wonderful little spoon for cuddling,” Remus winks cheekily at him. “Recipe for domestic bliss.”
“Aw, Moony, you’re lovely, aren’t you?” says Peter as Sirius mimes throwing up. Remus smiles, then blurts: “And lastly, well, I really want to shag Sirius, for obvious reasons.”
Everyone freezes.
What, Remus thinks faintly, in the ever-loving fuck?
This is so funny, and the nature-vibe immaculate! Features: camping, gay panic, James being lovely, and quite a lot of Walt Whitman poetry.
Go East [+Podfic], by xinasvoice (84k)
Remus has been running for a long time. Eventually, he runs into a strange castle built by a wizard and his young apprentice. The longer he stays, the more secrets he uncovers...and the less he wants to leave.
This is a novel-length adventure story that loosely follows the plot of Howl's Moving Castle. It does not require knowledge of the HMC book or movie to enjoy it.
This features nature of the more magical kind, but oh my does it do it well. The magical world building in this is INCREDIBLE! And the plot??? Amazing! Even if you’ve seen Howl’s Moving Castle, you’ll be surprised. The story is just amazing. Also, if you haven’t already, you really should listen to the Podfic—it’s really really good quality!
Do you have any nature-y fics that I’ve missed? Please rec them to me!!

Im driving myself crazy over a fic I loved but have forgotten about and I think you might be able to help because Im rather sure I found it on your masterlist but cant find it again!!!! things I do remember: Sirius and Remus and flatmates, it's a bit angsty, Remus' mom dies, he has a sad sad moment riding a bus and a woman calling him "boy" in welsh and in the end he leaves a note telling Sirius he's gone home to visit his mom's grave and Sirius appears on the bus to go with him and brings him chocolate. Does it sound familiar? 😭 Help please
Hi love!!
The fic you’re looking for is the BEAUTIFUL:
the son and heir of nothing in particular, by aeridi0nis (24k)
Remus is nineteen and tired, now. And he knows that if he and Sirius were ever going to become anything—if Sirius loved Remus the way Remus loves, and will probably always love, him—it already would’ve happened.

🌸FLUFFY FRIDAY #55🌸
Warning! This could be too sweet to handle!✨
Heartstones, by eyra (5k)
Remus is a lonely painter. Sirius is a shopkeeper who might just have a solution for that. Summertime on the Yorkshire coast, with crystals, and candle-smoke, and sunshine.
You know, normally, anything remotely new age-y gives me the ick. Not this though! This was lovely, just like everything else eyra has written.
tell me what you want, say it like an oath, by drowsyanddazed (3k)
Sirius tilts his head. “What? What do you want?” Gray eyes. Collarbones. Body heat.
“Nothing,” Remus' eyes shift to Sirius’ lips and then quickly back to smoky eyes, “it doesn’t matter.”
Don’t look at me, no I’m not drooling, nope. Urgh, this short little piece of writing is just so perfect. Pining Remus, hot tension, and a wonderful (wonderful!!) scene where that tension is…resolved.
Btw sorry loves for being a bit absent lately. I’m not leaving this blog (you’ll never get rid of me!!), I’ve just had a few shitty weeks which have left me with absolutely no energy for anything else.

OKAY PLEASE HELP ME ELLIOT!! i was searching everywhere but i couldn’t find a specific fic. I think sirius tells remus to flirt more and then remus ate chocolate in the infirmary and was liking his fingers and was looking sirius straight in the eye. And Sirius was kinda loosing his shit but was still oblivious that rem was flirting with him. He also did other flirty things i totally forgot (thats why i want to read it again). I have the feeling that you maybe already recommendet that one… if you can figure out which it is, i would be super happy :)
thank you anyways!! <3
Hi anon🌸 Sorry, but for the life of me I can’t find this fic /: Do you remember anything else about it? Any locations, other characters that were in it, featured objects, or anything else? Or perhaps anyone else recognises this?
