please enjoy ohoho…

Remus and Sirius do get together in shoebox though I can see why you might doubt it when you’re 200,000 words in and that still hasn’t happened and i am so overwhelmed by the amount of wolfstar i could rec, but i will make a list grouped by categories. this took me 10 years. hm 

old men at 35 

It’s Not the Years, Honey, It’s the Mileage - in my mind this is the most explosive of the lying low at lupins. the things they SAY…. I cannot speak of it. you must see for yourself

House - there’s a House !!!! they GARDEN ! 

A Store of Happiness - Harry staying with them after his 3rd year which IS stapled to the end of PoA 

lovers alone wear sunlight - fics where they don’t get together for the first time until after sirius is out of prison is its own whole genre of coming for my mental health and wellbeing

Promised Eternity by musesfool - the veil is TIME TRAVEL, and sirius goes back to realize he was in love with remus, which he didn’t know before falling through…and then….

Adagio - I don’t know why I keep suggesting this. truly the most painful way for us to lie low at lupins 

bedlam boys -  i lied. this depiction of sirius trying to become sane again is the most painful way for us lie low at lupins

Style and Substance - remus takes sirius clothes shopping but the clothes are metaphors as the tag says 

a country mile - v short & sweet  they be relearning

Like Tinder for Ghosts  - that title !

i can tell you the telling gets old - i guess the predatory wasp of the palisades really is out to get us

To Fill a Gap - “Do you think,” Sirius starts. He wets his lips.“I have been known to,” Remus says. “On occasion.”

the Lie Low at Lupin’s tag is a tender feeling overall  

sneak some AUs in here…

Or, a Portrait of the Mathematician as a Young Man - brideshead revisited au with Remus as a jewish Alan Turing… remus manges the gateau as they say 

A Smithfield Bargain - the art crime au where sirius is the art crime and remus is a cop with an art history degree

marauders a lil bit after hogwarts 

Ocean Above & Sky Below - AU where there is no first war and Sirius makes them all go stay in a castle, perhaps bc he wants to give Remus a piano… 

Oscar Wilde Would Not Approve - Sirius notices that Remus’ books are going missing.  "Can I ask you something?“ “No,” Remus said brightly. 

Monday’s Child - Sirius works as a wizard-muggle relationship counsellor while he & remus hide their relationship. theres so many little moments in this that i love & this rec got too long when i tried to include all of them but like this ‘Of course, he’s brought Remus a cup of tea, but that’s only reasonable. Remus gets very, very nervous in kitchens, the result of a childhood trauma involving a batch of gingerbread men that came to life and pelted him with raisins. He tries to spare Remus kitchens as much as he can.’ also when they get KFC

One Light Burning - first war fic where remus and sirius are starting to suspect each other of being the spy, but then time travel spells ✨

marauders in their teens

well you know. shoebox. 

Light in August - move over shoebox: Remus loves Joni Mitchell. Sirius calls him Moonbeam. Remus rolls Sirius a joint. Sirius thinks Remus could get with any girl at school. You ever sneak into your buddys bed and fall asleep there smelling his sheets as a “prank”? “Suck my posh dick, Moony”? this fics got it all 

The Drought Story - remus and sirius send each other one word letters until remus’ owl drops dead 

annual honesty - this is cheating bc its actually them looking back on their teens from the future but theres lots of teens still. “I’m better suited to being a weird gay uncle,” Remus says. 

The Season of Love and Death - a short soft big picture, spans all their ages “You said love!” Sirius says, and now there’s no getting rid of him.
