So happy I can finally share my WSBB art and the amazing fic that accompanies it!  The Shortest and Sweetest of Songs by the incredible @chasingbluefish, she really outdid herself!  If you love Victorian gay romance, boys in beautiful embroidered vests, snarky dialogue and sexy smut, you must read!  Thank you Em for being the best partner in gay victorian crime!

Godric’s Hollow, Devon, is the epitome of a small town. The handful of teens living there spend their summer at Evans’s coffee bar, thinking wistfully of Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe, and getting on with life. That is, until a motorcycle gang roll into town and stride into Evans’s as if they own the place.

“Say,” the voice came closer than Remus expected, and he looked up to see the boy leaning casually against the bar, his friends waiting a few feet away. He was glancing around the room and Remus found himself holding his breath to see those eyes close up. Remus bit his lip and waited for him to continue, wondering if he would even be able to speak if he were asked a question. “There any places to stay around here? We’re here for a while.” Then his eyes finally landed on Remus and they were even brighter close up, smiling and warm and piercing all at once. “Um.” Remus willed himself not to stutter. “McGonagall has a B&B, j-just… just down the road.” Next to him, Peter set down his magazine and watched the greasers too. He saw Lily pause at the sinks and try to watch them out of the corner of her eye, but Remus knew, he could see her listening. The quicksilver boy - Sirius, that was his name - smiled and Remus thought for a second he might go blind with the brightness of it. It made the ache in his joints fade away. “Thanks, uh-” “Remus,” he supplied, before realising that it was probably a ridiculously stupid idea to give the greaser his name. He probably hadn’t even been asking for it and Remus had jumped the gun but his heart was beating a mile a minute. But the boy just smiled wider. “Remus, I’m Sirius.” When Remus couldn’t quite make the words come, Sirius smiled and took a breath. “Well, it’s been unreal, Remus. See you around?” Remus just managed to nod before Sirius turned and strolled out of Evans’s with his gang.

AHHHHHHHHHH!

Sirius Black/Remus Lupin E rated • 10k • alternative universe: canon divergence • post first war with Voldemort • post break up • getting back together • James and Lily live • Peter Pettigrew goes to Azkaban • Smut • Pov Remus Lupin  Summary: “I was hoping you might be waiting for me.” His tone is light and friendly, but Remus isn’t fooled.  “I stopped for a smoke.” He wonders, though. Was he unwittingly waiting for Sirius? In the last eight years, there had been countless smoke breaks, quick trips to grab another wine bottle, rendezvous to decide James’ birthday gift, that dissolved into a sloppy snog or a quickie. It didn't happen every time Sirius was back in the country, but it was close enough.

Remus Lupin/Sirius Black | T | 18k | Complete

Summary: Remus knows everything there is to know about himself. Really.

Preview: “You’re going the wrong way,” Sirius said, reaching out to grab Remus’ arm, and pulled him hard to the right when Remus would have stayed straight. He stumbled against Sirius’ side and looked up in surprise, his arm hot and tingling with new awareness under Sirius’ touch, but Sirius’ hand fell away and he looked unaffected by the contact, the grim line of his mouth and the set of his shoulders unchanged from a moment before.

After all, Remus reminded himself, just because Sirius liked blokes didn’t mean he suddenly liked Remus. In fact, he must not. It wouldn’t make any sense.
