new chapter of my disabled!remus winter fic is out now <3

read In the Blind Spots on ao3.

Sirius loved pool days.

The cool water against his skin in the warm sun. Splash wars with James which always ended with them trying to drown each other. Even competitions with Peter on ‘who can hold their breath the longest’ filled Sirius with a sappy sort of warmth even though he lost every time.

Pool days, were the best days because Sirius could just relax and let his thoughts drift while floating on his back, along with enjoying with his friends.

One friend in particular made everything better.

Sirius was 90 percent sure if anyone knew what went through his head, they would be heavily creeped out.

Because yes, ice cream and sodas were super fun. But tan scarred skin stretching over a long torso beat anything any day.

Sirius loved pool days.

happy reading round up day! this month has been incredibly busy, and i have been locked in a writing hell of my own making, but i still found time to read some absolutely INCREDIBLE fics! some of which were from Moony's Midlife Crisis Fest '26, which i've noted below, and will update with the proper authors once reveals happen. i hope that everyone had an incredible july, and thank you so much to everyone whose works i enjoyed this month!

Nsfw sketches (Remus/Sirius) [E] by @lalunavinoalafragua

explicit | wolfstar | for @kinktober-2025

It's one of those weird fucking online dating apps but worse. Sirius knows it's worse. It's the sort of app you're supposed to stay away from: something to look for sex with an awful fucking name called D(ub), which is supposed to be some play on BDSM. It's fucking stupid. He's been eyeing it since James brought it to his attention after Sirius' last series of one-night stands left him feeling bereft and so fucking empty inside that he attempted to drink the feeling away, to no avail. James clasped him on the shoulder, stole his phone, and spent the next hour grilling Sirius to answer oddly specific questions.

"We're going to let the kink come to you," James had stated, publishing his profile.

(here's a list of my top 10 favorite long fics ranging from 259k to 59k words)

Momentum by children_of_the_shadows (ao3) 259k

If you have to ready any canon compliant (mostly) marauders through the years fic, this is the one, Children_of_the_shadows is one of the best writers ever, Top 3 fic authors.

2. Text Talk by merlywhirls (ao3) 141k

Everyone knows text talk, it's basically wolfstar bible, Non Magic AU where the boys meet by accidently texting the wrong number.

3. Time is a Fine Invention by bluepeony (ao3) 105k

Brilliant university non magic au, with the most imperfect and human characterization of both Remus and Sirius, read it if only to humanize the both of them and their relationship. Insecurity in a relationship and Coming of age and all the thoughts accompanying it are perfectly described in this. so much foreshadowing if you read it carefully enough.

It'll make you hate and simultaneously empathize with both characters.

4. Slughorn's Sanitarium for Troubled Boys by MelloPie 65k

TW: discussion of mental health, SA, institutionalization, ab*use, s*icide, self h*rm.

Non-Magic AU, set in a mental institution, where both noys have to share a room. Its one of the first long fics i ever read, so maybe i have a soft spot for this one, and every other fic on this list.

5. The Lad That Loved You. by MollyMaryMarie (ao3) 81k

I've said this once and I'll say it again, mollymarymarie is one of the best writers out there, another top 3 author for me, all of her fics are amazing, obviously including dear you holiness, we can pretend, the only living boy in new york, i might have to do a separate recs list for that.

But, if you had to read just one, i would say The lad that loved you is the perfect one, set in their 6th or 7th year? of hogwarts, they hide their new relationship by acting like they hate each other, and let me tell you, they are exactly, perfectly themselves in this fic, and by that i mean exactly how i imagine them.

There is not one single thing about this fic that i would change. Perfection.

6. Discards by picascribit (ao3) 76k words

I can't make a fic rec without picascribit. Cure for nightmares changed my life. Non-magic AU, Remus meets Sirius in the library he goes to study at, real love isn't always perfect and doesn't involve perfect people, is what i've take away from this fic.

7. ten reasons (to go to michigan) by greyeyedmonster18 (ao3) 59k

Top 3 Fics. If you had to read any wolfstar fic, it would be this one. I've read 100's spanning from 2016 - till date, and this is the best one ive ever read.

Remus is newly divorced, and he meets Sirius Black.

If you've ever lost someone one and had to re-learn how to live without someone you never thought you would have to live without, this fic will encapsulate the gist of it in words.

In one of their notes the authors says something close to 'the hardest thing about losing someone is finding out that the earth keeps spinning and you have to keep living'

8. Dating Remus Lupin by Children_of_the_Shadows (ao3) 83k

Top 3 fics. I can't explain this fic in any words, the writing style is brilliant, the characterizations are unique and wonderful and perfect. Everything about this fic is brilliant.

Set in Year 5, Sirius Black wants a boyfriend and James tells him about the only other openly gay boy in in their year, it just happens to be Remus Lupin. Much to his disdain.

9. Remus Lupin's Guide to Successful Courting by Children_of_the_Shadows (ao3) 87k

Non Magic AU, Remus Lupin finds harry in his yard having escaped from school and return him back to Dr. Sirius Black, who's new to town and coincidently doesn't have an inkling about Remus's past, his eyes clear of any judgement are what make Remus fall for him and pursue him, court if you will.

I again cannot explain this fic. Children_of_the_shadows is the most talented writer, i will make a separate fic list for their other brilliant work.

10. Sex Pistol by ArtificialAorta (ffnet) 86k
