amor vincit omnia - cinnamontoastcrunch15 - 40.6k - teen and up audiences

Sirius Black is broke. Although it’s not the word he’d use, he can’t exactly deny it. His solution? Secure a place on one of the most prestigious choirs in the country. Easy. All he has to do is show up, dissociate his way through ridiculously pretentious choral music, and finally be able to pay his rent on time. No attachment. Stay carefully under the radar amongst the sea of voices. That is, until he meets his new choir director. Remus Lupin is young, passionate, and disgustingly observant. Suddenly, distance seems impossible. Under the radar seems like a childish concept. Not with this alluring, enigma of a man leading him. Sirius finds himself falling into the rabbit hole that is Remus John Lupin before he can help himself. Desire, obligation, and a newfound fascination in choral music follow, and… Well. Sirius is fucked.

Harry thought he was giving them a sentimental little wedding guestbook. Turns out, he gave them a magical record of everything said out loud in the cottage, which means every argument, every ridiculous domestic spat… and every moan. Hermione thinks it’s anthropology. Harry thinks it’s a crime scene. Sirius thinks it’s art. Remus thinks they should burn it. The book, unfortunately, disagrees.

Sirius starts as a music teacher at a secondary school, where Remus teaches English and literature. He soon finds that things are not always as simple as they seem. How does that one Ed Sheeran lyric go? "The club isn't the best place to find a lover, so work is where I go." Or something like that.

“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked. “Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head. “The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated. “S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.

“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that. --- Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Everything is going well for Sirius Black. Everything but love. OR Sirius Black is great at sex but shit at relationships. Remus Lupin is an amazing boyfriend, but not so great at sex. Could these best friends learn from each other? Platonically, of course.

back when we were dinosaurs - epicblueblanket - 37.7k - explicit

Remus has been coming to the museum since he was a boy. Since before all the renovations—before the Crystal. Back when the main entrance was off of University Avenue and the dinosaurs were huge, terrifying behemoths. Back when he would go running off with his stuffed bunny, and scurry through the low lit room housing the Brontosaurus exhibit as fast as his chubby legs could carry him (his mother never far behind). The Royal Ontario Museum has always been magical to him and now, at thirty-two, he is the curator for the paleontological wing. It’s a literal childhood dream come true. Or Remus is the ROM’s newest curator of the paleontological wing. Sirius manages the gift shop and has a dinosaur obsession. They are cute little nerds in love and sometimes they have sex in the archives.

curtain call - notryangosling - 57.3k - mature

War hero Remus Lupin has always categorized his unrequited love for Sirius Black, his roommate of ten years, as background noise. Ubiquitous, but ultimately, ignorable. But during a week-long June heatwave in which lines are blurred, thresholds are crossed, and Lily and James’ housewarming looms ever closer, Remus realizes he’s wrong. What he feels isn’t white noise. It’s hell. And to make matters worse, their housewarming present is so terrible that if his attraction to Sirius doesn’t kill him, then the star-patterned curtains definitely will.

…Just so I could call you mine. (In which Remus Lupin rightfully deduces that something fishy is going on and refuses to (1) allow Sirius Black to rot in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit, and (2) allow Harry to be neglected by his horrible Muggle relatives.)
