All Wolfstar fics this year, with A Cure For Nightmares taking the crown for the 6th year in a row, beating its previous record by more than 7000 hits!

Pica's Bottom 10 Fics of 2023:

Aw look at these sad little babies! Most of them are non-Potter fics (in pink), with just a few HP randoms (purple). Who could have guessed that a non-shippy fic from a fandom that I am possibly the sole member of would come in at the bottom?

Pica's Fics Written in 2023:

Monster Girls (1400 words, rated T, Apolline Delacour/Olympe Maxime) - In the stables at Beauxbatons Academy, two half-human girls bond over the way the rest of the world treats those who are born different.

Poppies (5500, T, Poppy Pomfrey/Pomona Sprout) - When Pomona Sprout takes up the post of Herbology mistress at Hogwarts, she uncovers a troubling mystery involving the school's young matron, Poppy Pomfrey. In spite of her concerns, Pomona cannot help feeling drawn to her.

Someone Who Gives A Damn (5200, E, Harry Kim/Tom Paris) - Harry is relieved that Tom's betrayal of Voyager to the Kazon was only a ruse, and that his friend made it back from his mission safely, but he can't get over the idea that Tom would leave him like that. Tom is willing to do whatever is necessary to gain Harry's forgiveness. Harry means to make him beg.

Self-Reflection (1000, G, Wolfstar) - On the Marauders' first night out together under the full moon, Remus notices something unexpected about Sirius's animagus form.

Pica's Fic Plans for 2024:

I'm so sorry y'all. I really dropped the ball in 2023, and didn't do nearly as much as I had hoped.

Finish the Discards series edit that I have unforgivably left hanging far too long.

Finally record the Discards series podfic.

Short addition to the Discards series.

Sexy sequel to Monster Girls, because I know y'all love some rarepair femslash.

Rating: Mature

modern AU

Summary:

When 21-year-old assistant librarian Sirius spots a cute hipster college student at the Seattle Public Library, he just needs to figure out a subtle way of determining whether he's into guys. But Remus's life is more complicated than Sirius knows.

Comment:

This is one of my all-time favorite wolfstar fics so I just had to make a post about it even though it's quite popular and not really new to anyone probably. It's such a beautiful modern AU, I love everything about it, there's a good amount of angst and pining and a lot of cute scenes and strong chosen family vibes.
