Lena Lupin (ao3) - @rihaprims90 Hermione/Remus, Tonks/Ron, etc. M, 90k
Summary: A darker reimagining of Remus Lupin's legacy as a Marauder. Narrated through the eyes of Hermione Granger, who inherits Lupin's broken memories of the First War. This is a gothic Victorian-inspired story of aftermaths and retribution. He loved her once. Then he forgot her. Now, nineteen years later, she's grown. And the wolf remembers.
you don't have to be alone (when you're the place i want to go) (ao3) - @quiethauntings Sirius/Remus E, 37k
Summary: "You’ve claimed the shit bed,” Sirius says from the doorway.
Remus looks up, suddenly aware that for the first time in years, it's just the two of them.
“You don’t like sleeping next to the door.” It comes out before he can think of something different. A fact he’d learned when they were twelve, the first summer they all stayed with the Potters’.
He should be embarrassed, remembering something like that, but Sirius tilts his head. Bright-eyed and soft. He smiles, and it’s worth it.

even the stars they burn (some even fall to the earth) (ao3) - aceofdiamonds Harry/George T, 3k
Summary: He cards a hand through George’s hair, brushing it away from the space where his ear used to be.
“What d’you think?” George whispers. “Still fancy me?”
Harry grimaces, swallowing over the embarrassing lump in his throat. “Now’s not the time, is it?” and his thumb passes over George’s lip, soft, before he stands up abruptly.
