#wolfstar weeks

1. Barking by jellybeany

He felt something for Sirius, something very strong, but Remus didn’t think it was love. It wasn’t soft and gentle, more like sharp and piercing. It was usually anxiety, since Sirius was reckless and fearless and inordinately prone to jumping off high ledges.

2. a bit like thunderstorms, a bit like you by just_lollygagging

“Sorry.” James puts a hand over his eyes. “Are you saying that amortentia smells like wool and, what, flowers to you?”

Sirius gives him a look. “I mean, you’ve met Moony,” he says. “I assume you haven’t missed the fact we’ve been dating these last couple years. What did you think it would smell like?”

3. Seventh-Year Veritaserum-Fueled Spin-The-Bottle by @halictus-writer

Veritaserum-fueled spin-the-bottle is a dangerous game. They’re about to graduate, no one can lie, and Sirius notices Remus’s lips for the first time.

4. Accio Amortentia! by quidditchqueer

You know the trope, I know the trope, you love it, I love it, we've all read it, but I believe every author's take is slightly different and exciting in its own way.

Sirius and Remus smell something they associate with the other in their Amortentia in class, but neither knows what to do about it until Sirius shows a surprising amount of insight and takes matters into his own hands.

5. Amortentia Ad Nauseam by SwissCheesePlant

Hogwarts students are brewing Amortentia and surely the adults could have predicted it not going well.

Apparently not.

6. A Dog in Stag's Clothing (And Vice Versa) by ravenmaplelynx

“I know what we should be for Halloween. We should go as each other.”

“Each other? That’s a bit weak, Pads.”

“Is it, Prongs? Is it?”

In which Lily is bad at feelings, Remus loses all powers of observation, James is clueless, and Sirius has to do some waiting.

7. The Lingering Scent of Possibility by @shinobi93

I’ve decided to officially end the month-long rec fests I’ve been doing the past few years. Instead I’ll be starting a more manageable series of week-long rec fests that I’m dubbing Wolfstar Weeks.

During each “Wolfstar Week” I’ll be recommending one fic a day for a week, under certain themes. These could be genres, eras, fests, holidays, authors, or really anything that sparks my interest.

The current schedule is as follows: 

Summer Vibes: July 4-10 - Masterlist here.

Hogwarts Fluff: July 18-24 - Masterlist here.

Potions: August 30 - September 5 - Masterlist here.

Wolfstar Week: Potions

Summary: He felt something for Sirius, something very strong, but Remus didn’t think it was love. It wasn’t soft and gentle, more like sharp and piercing. It was usually anxiety, since Sirius was reckless and fearless and inordinately prone to jumping off high ledges.

Summary: You know the trope, I know the trope, you love it, I love it, we've all read it, but I believe every author's take is slightly different and exciting in its own way.

A list of cute and fluffy Hogwarts fics for you. :)

1. Lupin’s Lethargy (and the Litter Lobbing Libertines) by SwissCheesePlant

It began, as so many of the Marauders’ misadventures did, with a heartfelt sigh and declaration of boredom from one Sirius Black.

Or, in which James is winning, Sirius has a strategy, Peter petrifies a toad, and Remus is just trying to sleep.

2. Hearts of Palms by @weighty-ghosts

A first kiss story of pining, shameless flirtations, a heart to heart under the stars, and palm reading.

3. Academic by tastewithouttalent

"'I wouldn’t hesitate to ditch you if I had a date,' Sirius says at once. His lashes dip, his gaze flickers to Remus for just a moment before it’s gone again, too fast for Peter to notice but more than enough to register for Remus himself." James leaves the other three Marauders to their own devices for a romantic Hogsmeade trip, and Sirius follows his example.

4. They Kiss In This One by @squidgilator

“Eclectic, is it?” said Sirius, eying the television with suspicion when he entered the common room later that night. James and Peter were with him, and they also eyed the flickering screen—interested, but warily so.

Remus blinked. Then he realized: “Oh, electric. Yes.”

Remus brings a television with him to Hogwarts! They watch a soap opera! Be careful with electricity, kids!

5. The Basic Art Of Communication by such_heights

Wherein chaos is unleashed, Lily Evans proves corruptible, and Sirius is trying to say something important, probably.

6. Personal Space by peskywhistpaw

In which Remus is the only Marauder who appreciates personal space. Most of the time, anyway.

7. The Devil's Chocolate by poetofstarlight

It’s Valentine’s Day seventh year, and both James and Peter have abandoned their mates for dates, meaning Remus and a somewhat bitter Sirius have the day to themselves.

Thus ends the first Wolfstar Week! I hope this post can also serve as a mini rec list for anyone interested in summer themed wolfstar fics. :)

For more recommendations feel free to check out the theme: summer tag. 

1. wonders bright by @moonynpadfootforever

Sirius spends a few weeks at the Lupins' place during the summer after sixth year.

2. say you will or will you won't or you whatever by renaissance

In the summer sun and beneath the shadow of the war, not talking about the future, making plans for today.

3. The Dog Days of Summer by zorrosuchil

1976, the summer between their fifth and sixth years, is a particularly hot summer.

4. Deserves a First Life by @kinetic-elaboration

“So Moony, tell me,” Sirius says, shifting onto his side and reaching out one careless hand to trail down Remus’s side. “How has this summer been treating you?”

5. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by @wanderingbandurria

Sirius might have a plan on the summer before seventh year that might not be completely legal. And he might invite Remus to partake in it. And Remus - he might says yes and find himself being Sirius' getaway car in an unexpected road trip through the countryside. Or, a summer road trip leads to Sirius and Remus to review their feelings for the other.

6. A House in Summer by hydianway

Sirius lies low at Lupin's, but he's afraid he's not as welcome as he'd like to be.

7. the private kind of purple by @bluescape

Post-grad summer. They are reaching for things they cannot name.

Or, it's four days out of Hogwarts and Sirius and Remus go wild camping in Scotland.

Summary: Post-grad summer. They are reaching for things they cannot name.

Or, it's four days out of Hogwarts and Sirius and Remus go wild camping in Scotland.

Comments: This fic dives into that sweet, stifling feeling of summer. Right after school when some things are up in the air and some things are inevitable. Definitely looking forward to reading more from this author!
