"Fortune favours the bold. And if anything, darling, I am bold." ~ the italian renaissance, 1502. somewhere in florence. remus lupin is a sculptor, an artist, a poet. his world is embroidered with the fanciful and the beautiful, and he devotes himself to it beneath sweet blue skies. he will not allow himself to love beyond appearance, though, for underneath even the most perfect spun glass, ugliness sits like a chasm into which loveliness falls and shatters. sirius black is every artist's daydream - a muse, yes, but so impossibly steeped in perfection that the term 'muse' seems too ordinary. he is beauty beyond description, a smile soft like the feathery touch of sleep, a grey-eyed gaze that could paint clouds into the horizon. and yet, he seeks something - someone - who might wish to look further, beneath his perfect spun glass, and see... him. just him. but in a world filled with birdsong, could anyone bear to listen to the shrill scream of a broken mind? ~ "...in a way, every time I break a heart, I break mine, too. It seems that I ruin everything I touch." "But you create, Remus. You create the most beautiful of things." "I create destruction." *** disclaimer: i don't actually own harry potter, believe it or not. which is unfortunate, but i guess no one can really do anything about it. the story is mine though, so at least there's that. dedicated to my editor, @FanOfWayToMuch, for supporting me throughout the writing of this book. if it weren't for her, this would likely be much more trashy, and i am eternally grateful for her enthusiasm, honesty, and love. warning: there will be smut. and fluff. tooth-rotting, sweet fluff. i hope you brought a toothbrush. that's all i think. go read. stop wasting time. started: wednesday 19th february, 2020 finished: saturday 18th september, 2021

"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do." Remus Lupin never expected too much of his life. Too broke to have a place of his own, has found himself knocking on the red front door of his new home. He didn't expect too much of his roommates, from everything he's heard, they're average, if a bit childish at times. What he didn't expect was three just-out-of-college students all with music majors and a thrill for doing stupid bullshit. As he gets whisked away in their little adventures, his life changes and his future starts to shape into something entirely new. Remus Lupin never expected to be a rock star.

Remus didn't want friends. Could not have them. Was forbidden from having them. Was convinced he'd never have friends. He simply wasn't capable of such a thing. Then he arrived at Hogwarts and everything changed, but for better or worse he hasn't decided yet. A Marauders-Remus-centered story based on one thing in his childhood being different.Other povs. Follows the books. Full Summary: All Remus Lupin wanted, for as long as he could remember, was to go to Hogwarts. Now that he's there he wonders if he made a mistake attending school. Between struggling with his relationships, fighting with himself, and accidentally discovering something that makes him a target, he has his hands full. And that isn't even taking into account the full moon that plagues him with its coming. With many things happening year one is sure to be as eventful as it is stressful for the awkward boy and the three roommates he gets stuck with.

MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT. BE AWARE 🐺⭐️ Remus Lupin was no ordinary child, obviously. No normal child had flowers growing out of their skin. No normal child had flowers depending on them to eat and drink properly and get enough sun. You see, Remus Lupin was a human-plant hybrid. The first to be exact. It was something that Lyall and Hope Lupin had spent their lives work creating. Many trials had failed, none of them working out quite right - all of them had died in the end. The goal was to create a human that didn't need to eat or drink because they would be able to photosynthesize. But it didn't work, instead they had created a human with flowers growing out of him. And those flowers all depended on him, the opposite of what they wanted to happen. He was a healthy boy nonetheless and they could not bring themselves to get rid of the progress they made with this one. This one experiment that they had actually somewhat gotten right. All evidence and knowledge is valuable, especially when it comes to the research and experiments that created Remus Lupin. It's something that others can't seem to recreate, or at least not without Remus. They need him in order to take another step forward in human biology. But no one knows where he is. To add to it, there are a lot of people willing to pay a lot of money, just for a hair on his head. 🐺⭐️ My inspiration for this comes from JK Rowling's Marauders, the book called The Gardener, my friend's art, a couple of tumblr posts, and my own ideas.

The war was over before it even had begun. Voldemort took power swiftly and mercilessly, ruling over the wizarding world with an iron fist. The Ministry was overthrown. Rebellions were crushed. Lives became dark. Soon, most wizarding families made choice. They would either conform to Voldemort's rule or they would hide, hoping that someday the Dark Days would end. And so all those part of the Resistance hid themselves away, waiting for the moment when they could rise up again... *** In 1971, 11-year-old Sirius Black prepared himself to attend Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, although it was very different from the school his parents had attended. Since the Dark Lord's take over ten years before, Hogwarts had become a school where only the purest magical blood was accepted. You would find no muggle-borns and hardly any half-bloods for most of these children were either killed, captured or in hiding. Hogwarts now was a place for dark magic. The dungeons were full of muggles, creatures and half-breeds which the students practised their curses and dark magic upon. The castle was as much a prison and strategic base as it was a school, the prisoners interrogated and tortured on a daily basis. As part of the noble House of Black, Sirius was expected to be as dark as one could be. But all his life he knew he was different. He couldn't hate muggles as he knew he was supposed to. He couldn't loathe the creatures he was meant to put down. He couldn't find it in his heart to torture half-breeds who he thought were just as human as he was. So when Sirius befriended a young werewolf by the name of Remus Lupin locked in the dungeons at Hogwarts, suddenly everything changed. On a journey that will make you both laugh and cry, can Sirius rescue Remus from a life of torture? Will the Resistance take back Hogwarts? Will the Chosen One's identity be revealed? I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...

"It's like I wanting to fly. You want to fly, so much, but how can you fly if you don't have wings? I want to see the beauty, the colours, everything, but how can you see if you don't have eyes?" Remus Lupin is blind. He used to be able to see, but after he was knifed in an alleyway at age 7 because his father was caught up in gang business, his eyes were destroyed. He knows how to live, how to get around London effectively, but he's been treated differently, as if he's an invalid. He just wants to be seen as a normal human being, but no one apart from his best friends can see him this way. Until Sirius comes along. (!blind Remus muggle sort of coffee shop au) (TW: Mentions of violence in later chapters.)

❝It's technically not catfishing if it's for love, right?❞ ❝Sirius, that makes it worse.❞ ❝Dorcas, can you just be on my side for once?❞ ▬▬▬▬ When her best friend, the heartbreaker Sirius, finally falls for a guy who wants nothing to do with him, Dorcas can't help but laugh at the karma of it all. That is until he enlists her help on his most elaborate scheme yet to win over the lone wolf, Remus... {MUGGLE WORLD AU}
