here it is!

some notes:

• ⁠there are quite a few series on this list, and i’ve linked the first (main) fic in the series and included the total word count for the series. 

⁠• ⁠for any of the incomplete series recced here, the main fic IS complete and can be read as a stand alone!

• ⁠if you don’t see a ‘popular’ fic on here, it’s not because i didn’t enjoy it or don’t recommend it - i either assume y’all already know about it, or i’ve included some of the lesser known fics by the same author that i prefer.

• ⁠in a similar vein - i didn’t want to add every single fic by all of my fave authors because the list was getting out of control in length. if you see one fic by any of these authors, it’s safe to assume that i recommend all of them! 

• ⁠plenty of fics on this list include smut, but there are fics of all ratings - i also did not include most of my faves that are just straight porn. gotta keep some things to myself <3

• ⁠this list is on-going! i am still adding to it, but as of this posting there are 175 fics on the list (i’m adding more as soon as this is posted!)

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! In honor of this time of year, here’s some holiday Wolfstar I’ve read, am reading, or am planning on reading🎄🌟🌙 (yes there are a lot of MsAlexWP fics because Alex is THE Christmas Wolfstar writer in my humble opinion.)

Note: I don’t have my notes completed yet for a lot of these fics, but I wanted to get this out in a timely manner. Enjoy!!

Elucidation Practice by montparnasse on AO3 (21,359 words, rated mature)

Summary: Christmas, 1978. Remus, wrestling with the mighty problems of gift-giving on a budget, contemplates life, love, London in winter, and falling off the edge of the world with Sirius Black.

Tags: Post-Hogwarts, First Wizarding War, Friends to Lovers

I’ll Be Home for Christmas by MsAlexWP on AO3 (45,744 words, rated explicit)

Summary: Hope and Lyall Lupin hoped that their wizard son would come home to their little village in Wales and marry a nice, quiet Muggle accountant. So when Remus wants to bring home the flashy curse breaker Sirius Black for Christmas, Remus and Sirius pretend to be just friends at first to ease Mr. and Mrs. Lupin into the idea of their relationship. But everything doesn't go to plan.

Just Another Winter’s Tale by Elliepenny on AO3 (13,452 words, rated mature)

Summary: Celebrity singer Sirius is asked to collaborate on a charity Christmas single--and since James is going, he says yes. But someone else is there who Sirius doesn't want to see (or at least that's what he tells himself).

Based on the 1984 Band Aid recording of 'Do They Know It's Christmas.' Some things inspired by actual people/events, some completely made up.

My Notes: COMING SOON

Let Nothing You Dismay by montparnasse on AO3 (18,993 words, rated mature)

Summary: There are a few things Sirius really didn't count on for Christmas of 1979. The extreme sexual confusion is one of them; Remus Lupin is approximately seventy-eight of the rest.

Tags: Post-Hogwarts, Smut

My Notes: COMING SOON

merry christmas, war is over by dykesiriusblack on AO3 (5,834 words, rated teen and up)

Summary: Christmas: 1981 and 1995.

Tags: Christmas Angst, First and Second Wizarding Wars, Canon Compliant

Read This If: You cannot escape the dichotomy of melancholic joy that the holidays bring each year with time passing, slipping away. The writing is lovely, and I especially liked this line, “Now he is here, with a photo that should feel like lies but sits rocking on the edges of his chest, clings there, and Remus is pain boiled down to the living boundaries of tragedy.” Fast forward to 1995, and it’s a story perfumed with hope, older Wolfstar, and a bit of parent Wolfstar.

Second Chances (But What If I Call) by futurefortem on AO3 (21,114 words WIP, rated explicit)

Summary: Christmas in London has never felt less festive for Remus. Trying to handle his new life as a single-parent widow, he feels anything but jolly. And love really is the last thing he's searching or even hoping for. Until a charming artist with hair like coal and eyes like smoke dares to prove him wrong. And soon, Remus feels like he has arrived in his very own version of a Hallmart movie.

Or, between grief, bi-panic and second chances, Sirius teaches Remus to love again.

Life Affirming by WolfstarPups90 [E, 2k]

Remus just sat there, still shaking, staring at his lover and replaying the scene in his head. Sirius knocking him out of the way. Sirius successfully casting a killing curse to protect him. Sirius falling down, hurt. He needed to feel and taste and smell Sirius surrounding him. He needed the memory of his lover’s body falling lifeless on the ground like a puppet who’s strings had been cut to be wiped away and replaced by memories of heat and passion and love and sex. He needed to know how alive they both were.

Mine by Jencala [E, 3k]

Growling low in his throat, Remus' voice was rough as he spoke against Sirius’ skin. “Men always look at you, Sirius. You’re bloody gorgeous, and you know it…I like that they look because I know you’re mine, and they can’t have you. But touching is off limits. No one else can touch you but me. You’re mine.”
