    Summary

    Remus Lupin likes the safety of the routine life he built for himself. He likes his job, he likes his little apartment with the plants he can never manage to keep alive, and he likes grading his papers at the local hipster-esque coffee shop down the street where he can blend into the crowd and surreptitiously steal glances at the unfairly attractive baker.

    Except one morning, there's no crowd to blend into when he's caught snickering at the web of well-meaning lies the other man walks face first into.

    (I'm super bad at summaries. It's a fake dating modern AU where Sirius has been telling Mrs. Potter he's dating someone for 9 months and she demands his "boyfriend" comes on their family vacation. Queue: shenanigans between wolfstar and jily as they lie their asses off.)

    Summary

    Remus Lupin's friends have always known him to be a happy, healthy person. That's why it comes as a complete shock when he returns to school different; a mere shell of the person he once was. All of his light seems to have been replaced by bitter anger and desperate sadness, and none of his friends know why.
    or; what happens when Remus is bitten in the summer before fifth year instead of when he was five

    Summary

    Sirius always pushes a bit too far. There are always consequences, and he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care if he gets hurt.

    After his expulsion from Beauxbatons, Sirius has never been in a more precarious position with his family. His priority at Hogwarts should be keeping his head down, surviving, keeping the peace.

    But trying to survive turns into wanting to live, and he thinks he might be falling in love.

    Remus has secrets, and Sirius doesn’t need to know what they are. He doesn’t care if he gets hurt.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    SO GOOD

    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

    “Have you ever heard of pirates, Regulus?” Sirius asked, not answering his brother’s question.

    “Yes, of course.”

    “Pirates often don’t get married and instead find love on the sea, with one another.”

    “Oh,” Regulus said, fairly unfazed. “So, you wish to run away and become a pirate then?”

    “Well no, not necessarily,” Sirius replied, “but I do want to love like one.”

    ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

    Sirius Black is crown prince to the throne and is put into an arranged marriage with his cousin whom he is desperate to escape from. Fortunately for him, he's able to strike a deal with a notorious pirate by the name of Captain Lycaon that grants him his freedom and the captain all the gold he could ever want. Though, things go awry quickly when neither man is as the other expects him to be, setting off a chain reaction of drama, angst, and love.
