Hey, do you know of any fics with trans Remus or Sirius, or just any trans characters in general. Preferably more happy ones, I just got putted to my parents as trans and I'm feeling kinda shitty right now. It's fine if you don't know of any
Oh jeez, it really sucks that you got outedâŚouting anyone else is just such a shitty thing to do. I hope things get better for youâ youâre awesome and strong and I know you can do this, even though itâs hard and it doesnât feel good right now.
But anyway, yes, I can absolutely provide you with some trans!wolfstar recs! Iâve recently updated my trans!Sirius reclist and my non-binary!Sirius reclist, and for tumblr posts I have a trans!Remus tag, a trans!Sirius tag, and a non-binary!Sirius tag. And for non-wolfstar I only have a small list of trans!Lily fics but if you request other HP characters Iâll see what I can do. All thatâs left is trans!Remus fics, so here you go!Â
Notes: There are actually so. many. FANTASTIC trans!Remus fics that Iâve had to break them up into âDefinitely readâ (my faves) and âAlso check outâ but honestly all of them are fabulous & worth reading. Iâve tried to make this a fairly comprehensive list of trans!Remus wolfstar fics, but Iâve done my best to mark angsty fics & list warnings so that you can decide whether or not to read them.
All fics feature transmale!Remus unless noted specifically that the fic contains transfemale!Remus.
Updated 27 July 2017 to fix the links tumblr apparently broke.

TW: suicide attempt, transphobia, bullying, dysphoria. [Sequel: TransLateâ 5k, M, mwpp era. Accidental pregnancy.]
*Iâll paint a mural of your smile by david8â 33k, T, non-magic/coffee shop AU. ââŚit doesnât take Sirius long to sense something different about RemusâŚAnd soon, even Remus understands that not everything is as it should be with the seemingly happy, extroverted and flirtatious rich guyâŚâ Also with bipolar, non-binary Sirius. Some angst related to mental illness.
*I just didnât know it yet. by genderisasocialconstructâ 1k, G, MWPP era & post-Hogwarts. âSirius comes to realise that the time waiting for his soulmate was well worth the wait.â Soulmate AU. Super super cute. Fluff.Â

Long Distance by irrationalmoony & LadyAminaâ WIP~ 21k, E, non-magic/university AU. âJames, Sirius, Remus, and Peter have been inseparable sinceâŚtheir first day at Hogwarts boarding school. So when Remus relocates to France for further schoolingâŚtheyâre not going to let the distance stop themâŚâ Texting fic, also with genderfluid!Sirius. Fluff.
*Succession of Halos by LadyFaceElenaâ 7k, G, non-magic AU. âWhen Remus gets talked into seeing his favourite authorâAstronomy Professor S. Blackâhold a stargazing lecture, heâŚdoes not expect the ripped jeans and rolling-stones t-shirt wearing, motor-bike riding Sirius BlackâŚ.â Also has genderfluid!Sirius.

Boys by oliverdalstonbrowningâ 3k, G, mwpp era. âRemus doubts himself and Sirius plays Space Oddity.â So much fluff. Remus has some dysphoria in this but really itâs just so fluffy.
The Hands and the Heart by oliverdalstonbrowningâ3k, T, mwpp era. âDysphoria is the hardest struggle Remus has ever faced, but Sirius is determined to show him the hands and the heart of his situation. [TW: Gender Dysphoria, self-harm, brief alcohol mention.]â Definitely angsty but oh-so-sweet.
No Understanding no Sound from Above by kyuuketsukiruiâ 2k, M, multiple eras. âRemus has a secret that has nothing to do with the full moon.â Closeted transfemale!Remus. Beautiful writing but very sadâ lots of internal and external angst due to canon timeline, no happy ending.Â
ennui by elliotasterionâ WIP~ 12k, M, magic AU set after PoA. âSirius is cleared of all charges after the events of Prisoner of Azkaban, but Peter escapes anyway. Remus and Sirius have to find a way to come together all over again, while keeping Harry out of trouble. (Not a raising-Harry fic.)â Feels very real, quite well-written. Some angst, mostly related to Siriusâs mental health issues & canon events but also a couple transphobic remarks.
*Semi-Automatic by destielspancakeâ WIP~ 68k, T, non-magic/texting AU. Remus and Sirius start texting because of a wrong number. Lots of fun & jokes but also angstâ do heed the warnings, esp. TW: dysphoria, self-harm, and references to past suicide attempts and rape.
secrets were made to be known by atlaspeaksâ 3k, M, mwpp era. âRemus has always had secrets. Heâs gotten used to having them - and even more so, used to having them found out.â Lovely & fluffy apart from brief section in which Remus is outed without his consent.
