Marauders
He carved into his bed again.
They were right, it did have a nice ring to it.
Two days until the next full moon. Twelve hours until tomorrow's classes. Roughly thirty seconds before James asked him to have another piece of the candy he was eating.
Sirius popped into his mind again.
"No", he thought to himself as he continued to fight it.
Carvings and countdowns used to be the only thing that steadied Remus's mind, why was he struggling now?
Remus sighed. He hated that vexatious grin of his, yet it kept overriding his thoughts.
"Is it cool if I have another piece?", James asked just as he had predicted.
"Yeah", Remus tossed him one.
He didn't have this feeling with James, or Peter, or anyone else for that matter. Played records, borrowed books, and shared secrets were moments all friends shared, but why did it feel so different with him?
He turned back over and figured one last carving couldn't hurt. He decided to go back to his old routine of writing his name, maybe the familiarity of it would ground himself again.
He pulled his hand away abruptly as he noticed he had subconsciously began to write an "S" instead of an "R"
"Shit", he thought to himself, "This is really getting bad."
That stupid Sirius Black grin of his.
*********
That was just a little snippet of a future scene I'd thought of, trying to set the tone :) This fic is pretty slow-paced at first, as both are hesitant in their feelings, but I promise it's worth the wait. The story is mostly told in Remus's third person pov, with small bits of Sirius's scattered here and there. I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT, feel free to leave comments and feedback, I love reading them <3
DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fan fiction using characters from the Harry Potter world, which is trademarked by J.K Rowling. I do not claim ownership of the characters and the world I am borrowing. I am merely creating a fictional version of the story based in the Marauder Era.

Twilight {-Remus Lupin x Reader-}
{---} ❛Y-You know?❜ He stammered, eyes wide, as if he expected me to pull a pitchfork out of my back pocket. ❛Uh-huh.❜ ❛And you're not... you're not scared?❜ ❛You're wearing fluffy socks with little turtles on them, forgive me for not trembling in fear.❜ {--} A werewolf, or occasionally lycanthrope, is an individual who can shape-shift into a wolf with the transformations occurring on the night of a full moon. They are depicted as ugly, dangerous creatures who should be avoided and feared. Well, you exactly wouldn't call Remus Lupin 'dangerous' and definitely not 'ugly'. If you cast your eyes upon the boy, he most definitely would not strike fear into your heart or send chills up your spine. Unless you took his chocolate, that is. {--} One night, under the light of the full moon, Y/n L/n, a Hufflepuff girl with secrets of her own, crept out of her room that night and stumbled upon a group of Animagi attempting to calm a werewolf. Upon seeing this, she made use of her 'secret' and found herself becoming a member of the infamous Marauders. Want to know more? Read the goddamn fanfic! SLOW UPDATES. WARNING: This story contains canon-fuckery, which is mostly unintentional (like Regulus and Tonks being in the wrong school year). I'm too lazy to go back and change it so... deal with it.

Scars|| r. lupin
She was tired, she was so bloody tired of it all. From the constant nagging and picking and pulling to the waking up at 6 am everyday to do that stupid crap. She didn't think it was stupid really, she just didn't like having to do it. She didn't really like having to do schoolwork either, but she found herself to be fond of the teachers and the curriculums. Most of all though, she didn't mind being at school all too much because it kept her away from the house. She found James to be nice, and Sirius to be troublesome, Peter was quite thoughtful, but Remus, he was kind to her. She had found that Remus was her favorite of them all, he was really very kind to her. What she had really come to see though, was the fact that he had scars too, and that meant they matched. Mature content. There are certain parts of this story that I will put a trigger warning before but you should keep cautioun when reading because I mention a lot of triggering things and topics in this book including self harm, abuse, mental illnesses etc. Also, the first year is really shitty writing and like the first part of fourth but I swear it gets so much better. I just haven't gotten around to editing the bad bits yet :( Credit to J.K. Rowling for the characters and parts of the plot and obviously Hogwarts fandom and Everything Harry Potter related. But, credit to J.K. Rowling. I mean- for everything other than my plots and characters too so.Complete

Unrelenting Fate: A Marauders Era AU
James, Sirius and Remus were shocked when Peter walked calmly towards the Ravenclaw table, but they were even more shocked when instead of being ignored, he was greeted warmly by not only Royan Chase, Head Boy and Ravenclaw quidditch captain, but two beautiful girls. ************* Adelaide Harthwood enjoyed the shy Gryffindor boy's sweet nature and kind smile. It was refreshing compared to the arrogance that floated around Potter and Black. ************* When their paths cross and James Potter is awed by the fiery Ravenclaw girl, he doesn't know what to do or say. But when James has something (or someone) on his mind, he is unrelenting. And as fate would have it, so is Adelaide. -------- I am writing this just for fun, so if you don't like my ships or character changes then don't read. I do not support She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, I only love the world and characters of Harry Potter!

"We cannot be togther!" Remus shook his head vigorously. "Never in a million years!" "And why not, love?" Amane smirked, taking a step further at the brown haired boy. He took a step back. "Because... we're supposed to be enemies." _ A dark, slow-burn, gothic romantic-suspense set in the Wizarding World with the warm, whimsical Hogwarts charm in the background. ▪ I do not own Harry Potter or the Wizarding World. It belongs to J.K. Rowling and all credit goes to her. I only own some of the original characters I made up for this story. And I would also like to mention that while I absolutely love the Harry Potter books, movies and were a big part of my childhood (and unashamedly in adulthood as well), I certainly DO NOT support any of Rowling's views on transgender community in any shape or form. I thoroughly condemn her transphobic remarks and her trans-exclusionary writings. _

Remus was so beautiful; it physically hurt to look at him. "Hey, Remus." The other boy glanced up, amber eyes crinkling in the corners as he smiled. "Hello Pads." ~ meet sirius black: artistic, punk rock, as straight as a rainbow and not afraid to show it. plus he's a dog person. meet remus lupin: musical, owns too many jumpers (if that's even a thing), as straight as a rainbow and very much too terrified to show it. he is also a dog person. nobody saw it coming. well, i mean, apart from james, peter, lily, marlene, dorcas, alice, regulus, severus, pretty much all the students actually, mcgonagall, dumbledore, filch, mrs norris.....yeah, ok, let me rephrase my original statement. sirius and remus never saw it coming. everyone else? oh, pur-LEASE. ~ He sighed. "It's weird, isn't it?" "What is?" "The best people tend to think the worst of themselves." *** disclaimer: this might surprise you, but i .... *whispers* ....... don't actually ....... own ........ harry potter .......... *cries in fangirl* nope. that right goes to j.k. rowling. this is just another muggle a.u. there are loads of them. check them out. plus the a d o r a b l e fanart on the cover isn't mine either. it belongs to space dementia, who is an artist on tumblr. if you happen to be them, i have two things to say: thank you, sorry, and the artwork is awesome. [that's three things. oh well.] however this story is mine so please don't steal it (not that i know why you would want to). apart from that, enjoy the ride folks. started: friday 2nd august, 2019 finished: tuesday 10th december, 2019Complete
Push and Pull (Sirius Black X Reader)
There was a time when we were inseparable--the so-called Marauders and me. I mean, I guess we kind of still are. It's just that they're not all around anymore. Peter is dead, James is dead, Sirius is in prison. So that leaves Remus. And we're still close. We have to be, don't we? It would be ironic if we weren't. But it's still so strange even though it's been this way for... what, over a decade now? We used to be a werewolf, a stag, a dog, a rat, and a cat. But it's down to just a werewolf and a cat now. Not that Remus lets me help with his transformation anymore. No, he says it's too dangerous. I used to fight it but I don't anymore. Somehow, my cat form never got used to the loss of Peter, James, and Sirius. She still tries to catch their scents in the breeze. When I transform back into me, the loss feels even greater than it was before. Everything fell apart that Halloween night. Sometimes I wonder how only Remus and I survived it. I guess I should be grateful, though. He was the one who held me together. Without him... There are rumors, though. Some people have been saying that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban. I've been trying not to think about it. Because Remus said I shouldn't. He thinks it might not be true still. I'm not so sure. I've never really been sure about Sirius. It's like... I know he went to prison for what he did to James and Lily and Peter, but... Sometimes I don't believe he did it. Remus said that he did. That he was seen killing Peter. So he must have been the one to betray all of us. But I know something that no one else does. Sirius and I were together that night when James and Lily died.Complete
