    Summary

    Remus stared across the room and didn't recognize the kid sitting at his kitchen table. His curls flat and his eyes sunken in, skin pale and clammy. That was not his boy.

    or

    The ups and downs and ups and downs of addiction.

    Summary

    It’s been months since disaster struck inside the Black Family home—since everything fell apart.

    Now, Regulus is on his way to, what he can confidently say is a “disaster in the making”; one, that even he believes won’t last. After the last several homes collapsing, he’s just about given up on finding, what his social worker likes to call “his forever home”.

    But, at some point, he starts to believe, finding his “forever home” doesn’t quite exist. Can you even blame him?

    With secrets in tow, he enters his most recent permanent placement—the Potters. Whilst he tries to navigate a new school, an unfamiliar family, and his guilt—Regulus struggles to keep his guard up. Can he trust this new family and the fragile connections he’s starting to form, or will the ghosts of his past ruin everything once again?

    This is a Modern Marauders Era, High School, Foster Care AU.

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

    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?

    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??
