    Summary

    “Keep pulling stunts like that, Lupin, and I just might have to kiss you.”

    Amusement curled Remus' lips upwards around his cigarette, which he smoked with practised elegance. It was irritating. It was beautiful. It was made worse by his response.

    “That’s the idea.”

    Barely a whisper; an exhale hazed by cigarette smoke.

    An admission.

    .

    OR: a six-through-seventh year tale of how sirius orion black, star slytherin and heir to the noble house of black, totally does not at all fall in love with remus john lupin, a prick with more scars than he's worth and a culmination of everything else sirius hates.

    at least, that's what sirius tries to convince himself.

    you can guess how well that goes.

    .

    fuck jkr.

    this fic is a marauders fic and only a harry potter fic out of necessity for the fandom that has grown from hp. this is my tribute to this community-made corner of the internet, NOT her. i consider fandom (especially in this case) a beautiful form of rebellion and i look forward to writing characters she would hate to be the origin for. if you sympathise with any of her terf bullshit this is your invitation to leave.

    Summary

    “Because you’re not just writing about Picasso, Sirius. Remus Lupin is a writer and an introvert, he has published a few novels that have been very well received. We want the story of it all, the family estate, his writing process, the decision to display these sketches now.”

    “And what on god's green earth makes me the best man for that job?”

    “Because you’re charming, we think he’ll like you.”

    Or; The story of how Sirius Black gets a writing assignment, banters his way into the art-elite of London, and ends up falling head over heels in love.

    Summary

    "He can hear the scratch of quills and idle chatter from the common room, bustling with life and energy.
    He loves this place. He loves the people in it. He just doesn’t love himself, and he really doesn’t know what to do with that."

    It's sixth year and Remus Lupin is struggling to figure out how to love himself in spite of all his flaws. When Lily suggests he work on his self-esteem, he figures maybe he has nothing to lose. Maybe he's got something to gain.

    Summary

    “He’s coming home, James. What the hell am I meant to do with that? It’s been eight fucking years and we’re meant to... what? Just meet him at the pub? Buy him a drink like-” He shakes his head. “What will I do with my face?”

    James takes a sip of lemonade, taking his role as designated driver very seriously as always. He has a smudge of dirt on his nose from ‘wrestling a conifer the size of a bear’, but Sirius doesn’t think to mention it because he’s somewhat preoccupied with his own problems, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are many and insurmountable.

    “Your face?”

    “Yes, exactly! It’ll give me away the second he sees me. He’ll know right away that eight bloody years has done nothing at all to dampen it down. Dripping with hurt. As if I don’t still feel-”
