Light in August by orestesfasting (E)

Summary:

Summer, 1977. With the full moon approaching, Sirius heads up to the Lupins’ countryside cottage to make himself useful. Or to make a complete and utter arse out of himself, because really, that’s all he can seem to do around Remus these days.

* Light In August is my absolute favourite fic maybe ever, I adore it so much *

Time is a Fine Invention by bluepeony (M)

Summary:

Sirius Black expected university to be simple; a medley of moonlight trysts and Good Times. What he didn’t expect was the yearning for home, the strains on his friendships, or falling for the hot-tempered History student Remus Lupin.

I Didn’t Come Here to Party, I Only Came for the Cake by attheendoftheday

Summary:

“Yunee foappy foabaaof,” James mumbles around the crepe in his mouth, gesticulating at the television with a fork.

Sirius, much familiar with James-speak, translates.

“I need to apply for the bake off?” Sirius asks. James nods.

Our Private Universe by busaikko (E)

Summary:

Watch Remus, Peter said, look for evidence; but what Sirius found was something different. Christmas 1979.

* I love this fic so much and it kind of killed me *

The Barista, the Burglar, and the Sofa by SeasOfTrees (E)

Summary:

This is the story of twenty-three year old Remus Lupin, an overworked graduate student and underpaid barista, who comes home one day to find an exceptionally attractive man has broken into his flat. Given the neighborhood he lives in, that isn’t a huge surprise. He is surprised, though, when the burglar comes back with a sofa.

Alternatively, this is the story of how Sirius Black tries to seduce a man by slowly furnishing his flat.

* pretty explicit but it made me laugh pretty hard *

Common Woodbrown by imochan (M)

Summary:

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there. In 1985, Remus Lupin realizes that Sirius Black is innocent. Now, he just has to prove it.

I do not know how to do these things. I have a masters degree and I have no fucking clue how to operate a deep fryer or make coffee drinks. I’d probably not be very good at it, because that kind of hands-on, fast-paced work is very hard for me.

Like in addition to it being physically demanding (standing up for 4-6 hours straight, carrying heavy ice/coffee, constantly getting burned by boiling water and an oven, a lot of reaching and squatting (like a lot a lot I lost 40 FUCKING pounds in a year okay this job demands a lot from the body)), there are actual skills required. Also your skin splits from using so much antibacterial soap.

Do you know what temperature different foods have to be to prevent contamination? If it’s a “cold” or “hot” plate?? Do You know how long food can be out before bacterial contamination can happen?? Do you know the difference between say 1% and heavy whipping cream? Can you teach a chemistry class using milk????? That’s p much what you gotta learn to be able to do. My friend who works as a medic was surprised, because I do more in my day than they do, and THEY told me that. They were shocked how much I actually do; I am on my feet more, talking to more people, I have a working knowledge of food germs food born illnesses and chemistry, I gotta do the same shit with sterilizing my tools the same exact way a doctor sterilizes theirs. Etc etc.

A tiny journal-ish gif-comic from a few tweets I made last night!  I believed this kind of stuff until I was 14 or so, which is pretty old in retrospect…
