What's the tag to get reblogged? ✍️

🍁 The tag is #flufftober2026

Make sure there is NO SPACE between flufftober and 2026! We will NOT be checking other variations of this tag!

🍁 It's also good to mention us: @flufftober

🍁 We try to reblog regularly, but tumblr likes to be difficult and wonky. If you're absolutely certain a post has slipped past us, please send us an ask with the link to your post.

🍁 Please make sure that all info is easy to find, either in the post or the tags. It takes a lot of time and energy to research every other post. So, please make sure to at least include the following very clearly:

💜 the day/alt/challenge prompt 💜 the fandom(s) (add "original work" or similar if applicable) 💜 the characters and/or ship(s) (add "oc" or similar if applicable)

What about the ao3 collection? 📝

🍁 The collection's name is Flufftober 2026 (either as flufftober2026 or as flufftober_2026)

🍁 Our collections will never close, so you can always add any late entries.

Deadlines are my nemesis 🥹

Don't worry, late entries are always welcome!

🍁 Reblogs will become less regular after the event has ended.

🍁 We will stop checking the event tag after a few months, so please make sure to tag us: @flufftober

Would you? by Mikibou

“Would you still love me if … I was a worm?” “A worm?” Remus scrunched his nose. “Yeah”, Sirius said. “Disgusting. Would it still be you?” “Yeah I’d still have my brain.” “But you couldn’t talk?” “No.” Remus sighed. “Guess I’d have to.” Sirius has questions. And now, so does Remus. Questions that could change lives. [Teen | 2,765 words]

lover's moon. by @heysaykitkat

Remus starts to notice it after he turns thirty-nine. [Explicit | 3,518 words]

Idita-Ruff by @r33sespieces

Sirius skims the article—a thousand miles; harsh terrain; one out of five mushers scratch—and huffs. “I could do that.” “Hmm?” Remus hums, still engrossed in his article. Sirius nods toward the magazine. “I could run that. That race.” Remus tilts his head and his brows furrow as Sirius’s words finally sink in. “Oh?” “Absolutely.” Sirius is certain of it. “As a…musher?” Remus clarifies. “No, obviously not as a musher. As Padfoot.” [Teen | 4,717 words]

The Many Moods of Remus J. Lupin by neilistic

“Sirius—” Remus caught his arm and made him look. They were rocks in a river of bodies, forced to divert around them. “I’m going home.” “No you’re not.” He closed in, there were still inches there, but the crowd faded away into obscurity. It was just them, the quiet, and the red. “If you were going to, you would’ve done it already. You’re mine for the night.” [Explicit | 7,481 words]

Good Vibrations by @sliebman10

Sirius has had to go on a number of business trips recently. This time, he leaves Remus a present to make the time go by faster. [Explicit | 3,048 words]

old dogs (new tricks) by @barkingatthemooninsteadofwriting

Remus tries not to think too hard about the fact that Sirius has been staying in bed until noon lately. He's always been one to wake early, rising with the sun and tackling the day with unbridled enthusiasm while Remus slept on, but now he can’t remember the last time that happened. Remus knows that they’re both getting older—in their sixties, which had seemed impossible when they were young and dumb and in the middle of their first war, but here they are—and logically he knew that one day Sirius would lose his still boyish nature. Remus hasn’t felt young since the late seventies, when his joints started popping every time he moved and he enjoyed an early bedtime over partying with his friends, but he couldn’t ever imagine that happening to Sirius, who has always been so full of life and vigor. The thing is, if Remus is being honest with himself, he’s pretty sure that it can’t be chalked up to the fact that they’re aging. [Mature | 5,097 words]

Remus Lupin’s Extremely Innocent, Totally Not a Pretext, Transport Excursion by @theblueblues-ao3

It’s just a normal day. A quiet museum about magical transport. A half pint at a sensible pub. A well-earned ride home on Sirius’s beloved bike. Remus has his book. Sirius has his opinions. Everything is exactly as it should be. (Except for the part where Remus decides to remind Sirius—slowly, thoroughly—what it means to wait. And what it means to beg. And why, actually, trains are sexy and public transport is foreplay if you do it right.) Remus loves days like this. [Explicit | 2,449 words]

Pyre by @bonebloom

Sirius meets Remus when he’s seven and Remus is eleven. They grow up together, making mistakes and bargains that burn hot. Sirius is obsessive. He's learnt that love always means to conquer. But he's not ready for Remus, who yearns for the right cage. As they fall into each other, they find that holding a line between love, possession, and power may never be possible for them. OR Sirius is a Prince, and Remus is his whipping boy. [Explicit | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | 7,801 words]

The degree of betrayal by @mundrakan

Remus tries to get a foot into Greyback's pack. He should have known better. [Mature | Graphic Depictions of Violence | 2,863 words]

Peaches and Cream by @puuvillaa

Sirius watches Remus eat a peach. [Explicit | 2,663 words]

hope's sweet sting by @sorealis

A look at Remus’ life from the moment he accepted the teaching job at Hogwarts to when he was reunited with his old friends. Or, that time when Remus’ ex (are you even exes if you never actually broke up?) escaped from prison and he had to pretend it didn’t bother him for a year. [Teen | 6,214 words]

Elephant In The Room by @birdiesnest

After Azkaban, Sirius Blacks body doesn't always work right and he's worried it will effect his blossoming relationship with Remus. He doesn't need to worry. [Explicit | 2,377 words]

dreams of reason by swoons

Remus’ infuriatingly hot, wealthy boss is trying to bring back dinosaurs. Remus is a scientist with morals. He thinks. [Teen | 2,705 words]

One step at a time by @brandileigh2003

Remus gets injured and it becomes quite apparent that the number of stairs at Hogwarts aren't designed with accessibility in mind. Sirius, James and Peter can't bear to see him in pain and decide to make it easier for him. [Teen | 5,202 words]
