Remus/Sirius
Stealing
Harry by samvimes
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Warnings: Slash, action, adventure, violence, language... But nothing
extreme.
There's nothing quite like this.
It's an epic HP alternate-reality fic-- but remember the key difference
between AR and AU. An AU is completely different, whereas an AR
keeps many things the same and often takes off in a different direction
from a key point. In this, Malfoy makes it to Peter Pettigrew
before Sirius does, and so Sirius never goes to Azkaban. Instead,
he has a house on Privet drive in order to keep an eye on Harry, but
Aunt Petunia is very careful that Harry never interacts with him, until
it becomes clear that something has to be done. The boy has to be
stolen.
All Through the
Night by Casira.
Pairing: Sirius/Remus
Warnings: None
This is so...subtle and slow and /good/ you finish it and you're
just...happy. XD
The
Dating Disasters of Sirius Black by kabeyk [Sirius/Remus, and like
a billion other pairings. Seriously.]
Man,
it's been a long time since I've recc'd any Potter. Like waaaay too
long. This was fantastic! It's long, it's involved, and it's
-fantastic-. Seriously, I think I died of happiness reading this. It's
everything and nothing like what you would expect from four
prank-tastic guys sharing space at school. It's Remus' POV, so you get
a fair amount of reasonable thought tied in with all the madness that
is Sirius. You'll love it. XD
Apogee
by Llamajoy [Sirius/Remus]
Ah, I miss the days of playing sardines with the kids! Not that any of
my games of Sardines ended like this,
mind you, but it's still a fun game. If you haven't played it before,
it's explained in the fic, (Briefly and succinctly!) and it's loads of
fun. I suppose on some level this is PWP, but I think I was too wrapped
up in childhood memories of Sardines and then the fun afterwards in
this fic to notice. XD
Hang
the Moon by Canis M. [Sirius/Remus]
Lovely!
I know I'm putting it down as Sirius/Remus, but that's only half the
point-- it's also got loads of lovely gen in it, and more than half the
fic is WPP down in Hogsmead pulling pranks and buying sweets, and
that's all done in just such a fantastically believable way.
I'm always impressed with how some of these people pull of the pranks
pulled by MWPP, making their characters into something halfway between
Fred & George and Harry-Ron-Hermione with a dash of Neville thrown
in. SO GOOD.
Lovelorn
in London by Leandra and Raina [Sirius/Remus]
Okay.
You're looking at that title and thinking, "Oh god, what was MK
thinking?!", but seriously, give me a minute. This? This is like Sleepless
in Seattle,
only shorter, simpler and more direct. It's good, it's fun, it's got
sweet moments and sad moments and very nice writing. But what really
sold me? Is the moment with the names in the phone booth. You'll know
when you get there. I could just see that being an -amazing-,
always-remembered-by-movie-fans moment in some flick. Seriously. I
really, really, realllllly enjoyed this. And I honestly didn't think I
would, at first!
Rainy
Night by Raina [Sirius/Remus]
Post-MWPP but pre-death-of-Potters. It's a three-part fic (all linked
here for your convenience) that is just...not smooth,
but certainly very connected, and agh, really, really well done. Most
of it is gen, though it becomes S/R at the end, that's not the point. I
mean, it is, but it isn't. It's really more about these other things
that...that I can't tell you about. ;_; It was good.
Last
Laugh by Lise [Mostly gen, then some light Sirius/Remus]
AH!
AHHHHHH! I started reading this series of MWPP-fics and wound up
staying up way past when I should have. This is almost entirely the
insane antics of the Marauders as Sirius and James have one week to
out-do each other in pranks. AND OH GOD IT'S BRILLIANT. Made me
desperately miss pranking residence in first year, seriously. I only
wish I could pull off the stuff they do. The stuff they do!
It's amazing! And it starts off with...a ha ha ha ha, a bang! A BANG!
No. No, but-- oh god. I'm laughing my ass off and my eyes are watering.
Get in there! (And let us not forget that Sirius and James are not the
only sneak-tastic pranksters. Remus is -amazing- in this!)
Flying
Without a Broomstick by Lise. [Sirius/Remus, Gen]
Follows
the previous! If you go up one directory you can get the whole load,
but I'm going to rec a few of my favourites from this series because it
was so good. Sirius and James aren't speaking to each other after an
argument about quidditch (and where have we heard that later
before?) that becomes a giant pain in the ass for everyone. Remus
resigns himself to watching them act like two year olds, but man, what
he'd give for a leash. Toddlers at least came with leashes.
Change
Your Mind by Lise [Sirius/Remus]
I
skipped a few here but had to rec this one as well because it takes
place when the Marauders finally get their animagus potions set and
ready. With tiny references to X-Men that you wouldn't quite pick up on
unless you look at the description of//fanart linked at the beginning
of the fic (drawn by one of my favourite HP-fanartists). It's
just...wow. I'm continually very happy with how great the
characterization in these is-- they're all such boys, and do
stupid, stupid boy things, but they're also...just brilliant.
*_*
The
Second Coming by Lise [Sirius/Remus]
OKAY,
I KNOW. I know I just rec'd four of her in a row, but this is
unrelated. It's from a totally different arc. I almost didn't want to
rec it, but it was ripping at my heart so badly that I had to put it
out here so that it could rip out your heart, too, even
though nothing particularly bad happens in it. It's pre-OoTP and... and
so damn sad! Not even sad, it's just... ;_; It just is. So read it. And
then try not to bawl.
The
Snowy Day by MidniteMaraud_r [Sirius/Remus]
Er...P?WP?
Very teenager. I think I just needed something like this, a
get-together fic that's a little teenage-angsty without all the
stupidity of kohl-eyes and leather pants and all that crap you find
too, too often in these things. It's kind of reasonable,
which is weird for the subset of the genre. But hey, I liked it.
Imbibe
by Kel [Sirius/Remus]
What can I say? There was more than one time while reading this that I
had to put on that
other
British accent, the one that makes people mix up Aussies and Brits and
read a bit aloud, and then laugh a little-- partly at me, and partly at
them. Partly, I think, at how strange it was that this was as good as
it was when I half-expected it to be
bad. "...
or when
Sirius had accidentally fallen asleep as Padfoot in the Shack and woken
up the next morning with his nose in Remus' armpit--"
A
Number of Things Which Sirius Black Did Not Give to Remus Lupin For
Christmas by Kel [?? Sirius/Remus]
A
ha ha ha, okay-- this is funny enough on it's own. I mean, right from
near the start, you'll be laughing. Sirius is funny of course, and
James is just so
James, making sharp-witted comments and then
negating them with his own silly prattishness, and Remus is kind of
soft but sharp and smart and then out of nowhere--
out of nowhere,
Peter is the funniest of the four.
Seriously. I died laughing, and then it was further clarified and I had
to die all over again. Brilliant. Oh, and there are small, very serious
details scattered in that are also lovely.
"Sirius," James
said. "You know we're your friends, right? Is there anything you want
to tell us? Anything you've realized recently? Anything at all?"
"Wormtail smells funny," Sirius said after a moment.
A
Mirror with Memory by Kel [Sirius/Remus]
You have to love a story that starts out with,
"He's back."
"Right, then."
They got drunk,
blah blah blah. It's immediately post-GoF and just...well, it's funny
and sweet and only a little bit sad. There's some smooching and such in
there, and patronus charms.
Psychological
Effects by Jay Simon [Gen? Sirius/Remus]
I
shortened the title there, just because it's a touch long. The fic
isn't too long, but it sure packs a goodly amount in there. (There are
two short sequels in her memories.) Half of what sold me on this is
Sirius' insane pseudo-logic and his adamant defence of it. There is a
soft, slightly-sad undertone to one part, but it's just because of what
you know, not anything that happens in the fic.
Say
Goodnight and Go by Shanalle [Remus/Sirius]
Oh.
You could be sold just because of Remus, but I hope instead that you
would be sold because of the writing, the whole premise, the tiny
inserts and that final ending kick.
As he poked a fork mindlessly
into his treacle tart, Remus accepted with quiet dismay that he was a
sixteen-year-old queer werewolf who wanted to lick Sirius Black.
The Lovesong of Remus
J. Lupin by Shanalle [Sirius/Remus]
If you haven't read
The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock
by T.S. Eliot, ignore the title. It's meant to be melancholy, not
adolescent. I love how much like a dog or a cat Sirius is in this, just
in his small little actions. I love how everything is so normal, and so
decidedly
not normal for Remus. And how it all falls
together.
he’s
sleeping and then he is suddenly so not because there’s a big
pile of
Sirius on top of him, talking of breakfast or snow or (strangely once)
elephants, and...
The Waiting by
Shanalle [Remus/Sirius]
Again
with the lovely falling-into-place that has a novelty I'll never get
tired of. Lovely, with the "Bollocks to this"-Remus and the goodness of
crawling into bed near a fire and a book and hot cocoa.
Seven
Things That Didn't Happen On Valentines Day at Hogwarts, Or Maybe They
Did by Glitterati [Remus/Sirius]
Sirius
hummed lightly, and they drowsed until eight, when James shrieked that
he'd figured it out, and an enormous stag ripped through Remus'
bedcurtains, shoving them off the mattress, and wreaking general havoc.
OH
GOD I LOVE THIS. I don't care what you do, so long as you absolutely
positively make sure you read at least this fic before you die. I'm not
kidding. YOU MUST.
Gasp
by Pru [Remus/Sirius]
It
appears at first glance to be a PWP, but..trust me, you'll just get
past that and hit something beautiful, even though the other leads into
that and...argh! Beautifully tied together.
How to
Say Goodbye by Tromboneborges [Genish, Remus/Sirius-ish]
This is a
happy piece, so don't go yanking out your hankies,
alright? Mostly good, fun boyishness with boyish prattle and a little
bit of
something at the end. Very enjoyable.
Turnabout
by Sam Vines [Sirius/Remus]
Sirius
likes making people wibble. And he has a very small dictionary with
words of two-syllables in it. Remus... well, he's got a big dictionary
with words like pastiche in it. Which is cool in a different
way.
All the
Comforts of Home [2] by
Mousapelli [Remus/Sirius]
Remus? Dead set hillarious. Sirius? Just looking for
something dead and smelly to roll around in.
Untitled
by Mousapelli [Genish Remus/Sirius]
This has...no plot, but it's not smutty. It's just...sweet. Made me
feel kind of fuzzy inside.
So
You Want to Transfigure Yourself a Rock Band by Mousapelli
[Remus/Sirius]
A classic of the genre about a black bird, complete
with 70's glam-rock. This is linked to the memories. Go edit >>
find >> SYWTTYARB.
He's
Not Heavy, He's my Boggart by Mousapelli [Remus/Sirius, James/Lily]
Last time, I swear! But come on, that title and the combination of the
opening scene alone would have had me recc'ing this. It's
PURE GOLD. Read. And grow fat. XD
[Suffice
to say there is much good fic in her memories, not just this particular
section. I held off on a lot of her other stuff, too, even though it's
all gold. So go read yourself some Mousapelli. It could very well take
you days, and that's a good thing.]
Vector
by Pru [one-sided Sirius/Remus]
Okay,
so... read this, but you also have to promise me you'll read at least
the first three things she has under 'novellas' under 'hp' on her site,
because they all tie together. It's Christmas pre-that Halloween
and post-Hogwarts for the MWPP, and Sirius has moved to lovely
muggle-London, where he proceeds to spend almost an entire day at
Harrod's looking for presents like playing cards with nudey women on
them. Oh, but it's much more serious than I make it out to be-- it just
happens that there are funny bits and sad bits and serious bits and a
lot of bits that go back to those years at Hogwarts.
That day, he hadn't noticed Remus until the boy had said,
"Very nice to meet you."
Sirius hadn't stopped noticing him since.
Arpeggio by Pru [Remus/Sirius]
This is beautiful and only really covers the first two or three years at Hogwarts for my two favourite not-really-dogs.
At lunchtime, when Peter and James return to the room to check up on
their patient in residence, they find Sirius sitting on the foot of
Remus' bed, scowling and sanding down one of Remus' bedposts, grinding
away what looks suspiciously like a knife-mark, and Remus curled up in
his comforters, happily gorging himself on a truly ridiculous amount of
chocolate. The dorm room is otherwise a disaster, with books and papers
and clothes strewn about the place; Remus' worn carpet bag is trapped
in one of the hanging candelabra's in the ceiling.
"What on earth happened?" James demands.
"Oh, it's fine," Remus says around the chocolate. "Sirius said he'd clean it up."
Twins +/- Others
Crossing Lines by
Red Jester
Pairing: Twincest
Warnings: Twincest
This is actually fascinating
because most twincest is twins in bed
somewhere having some PWP fun, but this has only light action and
very much deals with dealing with the first bit of twincest. When one
twin makes a move on the other, how is he supposed to react?
The Portrait
by Strandia
Pairing: Double the twincest
Warnings: Double the fun (twincest)
Five minutes into this fic I
had an idea of where it would go, but it had the magical wonder of that
not ruining it for me. Seriously. It was still amazing even though it
was fairly obvious where it was going. Smut and... voyeurism? Well,
stuff happens. And it's good.
Double the Fun
by Lunadeath
Pairing: Fred/Harry/George
Warnings: Twincest + Harry
(I love how on my HP page all
the warnings are the same as the pairing...)
This is here because I am a sucker for Fred/Harry/George -- for
various reasons. 1) The twins respect Harry enough to give him the
Marauders Map - a key item. 2) Harry respects the twins enough to
fund WWW. 3) Harry can tell them apart. It's cannon. Seriously.
...And you know. I find twins/Harry smut to be very, very sexy.
Especially like this.
A Matter of Identity
by Khirisah
Pairing: Twins x Oliver
Warnings: Twincest + lovely captain
Delicious. It starts off with
some totally in-character twin action (of the non-smut variety) and
develops into something that could totally happen in the book. THEN the
slash kicks in by accident -- and involves Oliver because
OMGBiggerStaffHowSexy. And you know. Oliver. Hot. (I also like
Oliver/Harry or maybe Oliver/ Harry/Twins. I need to find some of
that.) So yeah. FUN.
This Happy
Morning by Isolde
Pairing: Twins/Harry
Warnings: Twincest
I've read other stuff by Isolde
and -adored- it. This was no exception. It's Christmas, it's post-OotP,
and Harry is sharing a room with the twins. Some voyeurism, some
Twins/Harry goodness and some delicious, delicious smut. Need I say
more?
Cruel
Intentions by Stellamira
Pairing: Twincest, Twins x Oliver
Warnings: Twincest, some semi-non-con-voyeurism. Backwards.
I admit when I started reading
this I thought the plot was over done and it would probably be kind of
crappy. I was wrong. The twins are pranksters no matter -what- they're
doing, and I lovelovelove Oliver. Especially freakedout!Oliver. Not to
mention this weird side note about Hagrid that you'll be like
OMGWTF____?! I'm keeping that spoiler safe. Just read it and enjoy --
in progress.
[Updated link, now with more chapters!]
The Way We Work
by Aspen
Pairing: Twincest
Warnings: Shower-goodness twincest
I can't even remember how I
stumbled on Aspen's page Paper Moon,
but I do remember laughing my ass off and loving it. The slogan is
"Slash! Sex! And a Total Disregard for Plot!" Anyways, Twins,
shower, goodness. Smut. You'll laugh, you'll...well, you'll laugh.
XD Enjoy.
Double or
Nothing by Calico
Pairings: Fred/George/maleOC
The
maleOC is kind of unimportant-- he's there and in the sex and
everything, but he's more like a catalyst or a porn or something. Yeah,
he's like porn. I'm not sure how to explain that. Anyways, it's almost
a PWP, but it's not really, because...well... that's hard to explain,
too. The opening lines are:"You know what," Lance breathed, the first
time he took Fred home, "I think your brother's hot."
Fred froze. This could be trouble. "Ron?"
Gen, Misc, Etc.
Four and a
Half Minutes by Resonant [Harry/Ron sort of, sort of Gen]
I
can't give you any plot points on this without ruining it, but it's
short, it's neat and it's got a good grounding in someting
HP-universe-plausible. And it's rated G! A nice, light piece of writing.
Remus
Lupin & The Prizoner of Azkaban by Kel [Gen]
Oh, oh! Oh, I loved this! It's POA entirely from Remus' perspective and
it's just...so plausible,
with all these details and things that should be causing him to freak
out, but it's got this very controlled-Remus-narrator that just...holds
everything in place while the shit hits the fan. Fantastic.
Filter
by Pru [Gen]
A
beautiful, rough but smooth piece post-OoTP. I can't really explain any
of it but to say that it kind of made my heart hurt, but in a good way.
I miss things like this.
Sweet
Dreams are Made of This by McKay [Everyone/Everyone WTF hillarity
ensues]
Oh my god. Ginny, Ginny--! This is why fandom is so bad and
so very good at the same time.
A Particular
Affinity by Canis M. [Gen]
Sirius tries to figure out what his animagus form should be -- serious,
sweet, funny, very boyish.
Out of The Woods
by Canis M. [Genish]
This
is neat, kind of tidy and rough at the same time. The boys spend a
night in the Forest counting magical creatures. A full moon, and there
is a limit to 10 fairies.
Close Enough
by Helen [Harry/Ron]
For
all that this is kind of dark and weird and talking about these things,
the characters say the wittiest, funniest things at the worst possible
times. God, I love it. "I wouldn't care," Draco said, "about what
you get up to, you understand, except I'm filled with hearts and
flowers, of late,...
Chasing
the Moon by Sam Vines [Remus/Moon]
Er...and
by Moon I mean OFC, but...she's the moon. >_> Trust me on this
one. Er, slight gore warning. But oh, it's beautiful and cold.
Let's Get
Physical! by Mousapelli [Gen]
James decides he and Sirius are going to get in shape-- the muggle way!
Stuck on
You by Mad Maudlin [Harry/Ron]
This was... awkward. But oddly sweet. The point
is that it's awkward, see? Very early-mid-pubescent with fun magic and
these little jokes about other things in the background that had me
laughing. XD Quite classy, really!
Second Short by Ignipes [Gen]
And
by that I mean it doesn't have a title, just read the second drabble
here. Hillarity with Mr. Weasley and muggle goods ensues. HILLARITY.
Harry Potter & The Eagle of Truthiness by C. Morgan [Gen, Crossover with The Colbert Réport]
Oh my god. Youko rec'd this to me ages ago, but I only got to read it recently, and man
am I glad I did. TCR is perfectly represented as a DADA class here.
Colbert is an amazing Prof and so Wizardy that you'll start imagining
him using magic on the next show. Everyone else is a cliché, and it's
so, so perfect that way.
