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

I'm A Monster - Wolfstar by homo_lander

Remus had woken up from a transformation after fainting only to see his unconscious best friend Sirius Black blooded up with nasty cuts and bruises everywhere. He's a monster. He has killed his best friend... HOW DO SO MANY PEOPLE EVEN WANNA READ THIS SHIT LMAO THANKS SO MUCH --- I'm aware of the ridiculous amount of spelling and punctuation mistakes but honestly I can't be bothered to go back and change it all. My writing style is completely different to what it once was so unfortunately this book won't be carried on.

"You're just a spineless, big-headed, moron Potter. Why on earth would I go out with a fleabag like you?" "It's just, James Potter!" says Sirius, leaning casually back in his chair, "Beaten by a girl!" "So you're back?" he smiles knowingly at her from the hospital wing bed. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* Hogwarts. The year, 1976. Before Harry Potter. Before Voldemort was defeated. Before the Second Wizarding War. Before the Marauders, Lily Evans, Severus Snape and so many others had died. This is back in the school days, where life may be seen as simple, yet growing increasingly complicated, choosing paths that will change their future. Choosing their sides. And not all will be on the same side. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* This is my take on what could have happened during the time of the Marauders, Lily, Marlene , Alice and Snape. Watch out for mystery, arguments, unrequited love and choices that can make or break relationships during the fifth year of Hogwarts for these characters. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* I have tried to connect my head canons with the little we have about the Marauders. This is my first ever book so any comments, votes or ideas to improve are greatly appreciated. Anyway enough of me rambling, if you've read all the way down here, um thanks, you might want to actually open the book now... and yeah. I hope you enjoy it! - NJCG (Around 22,500 words)

Ink in Paper - Regulus Black by AideINFP

Luna Lupin came from a tumultous childhood filled with secrecy and a family haunted by the stigmatised illness of lycanthropy, thrown into a society that views her older brother, Remus, with suspcion and fear. She's used to being seen as a second option and afterthought. However, when the one person that she fancied, Sirius Black, breaks off the secret arrangement he had with her, Luna decides she's done with it. So it's through a plot of revenge that she finally approaches her Astronomy tutor, Regulus Black, for a fake relationship. Regulus Black, the one who had been born the spare, had been suddenly been thrown into the spotlight when his brother Sirius ran away, leaving him to learn to be the Heir of the House alone. Keen to find a way to hurt his brother, he accepts the most ludicrous plot. But if he is to do it, he's to do it right. Regulus and Luna find themselves swimming in deeper waters than they expected, esnared in a web of lies, secrets and painful truths, but they are not to let go of one another. WARNING: This story may be uncomfortable for some readers, for it includes themes such as DOMESTIC ABUSE, CHILD ABUSE and (although in lighter tones) EATING DISORDERS, amongst other heavy subjects that might be triggering. Please, be advised going in.

Marauders AU Romance by EmJayBlack

This story is based on JK Rowling's characters from the series Harry Potter. I have done my best to be accurate with both timelines and character portrayals, but of course there will be some changes since this is an alternate universe with some original characters inserted, plus, there is only so much written about the marauder's era. The story takes place in the year 1976, the boys are all in their sixth year, and tensions are high at Hogwarts. Many of the students are already feeling the influence of the Voldemort, and it is causing suspicion and division to run rampant within the walls of the school. Sirius finds himself intrigued by a Slytherin girl he'd never taken the time to notice before, and a student transfer from Ilvermorny has caught the eye of Remus. Of course James is still battling for Lilly's attention, hoping to prove how much he's matured over the summer months. Undeniable attraction pulls these students together, but house division, many secrets, and a Dark Lord's growing influence threatens to tear them apart. Will they find a way to conquer their differences and pull together to face the coming war, or will the bonds of friendship fail the Marauders once and for all? Please comment! I love to hear form you guys <3

Scars|| r. lupin by anne-amelia

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.

When the Star Fell in Love With the Moon by StarQueen51015

"You've been acting weird all semester and honestly if I didn't know better, I'd say you have a crush on Remus." James laughed and Sirius just about died." Remus Lupin has changed a bit over the summer...Maybe this is just what Sirius needs to realize his own crush... The Marauders are all at Hogwarts together and it's their 6th year. Remus has always had a thing for Sirius Black, but it seems just too good to be true to think he would ever like him back. This is another mostly canon Wolfstar story. **Also the first chapter is not the most interesting or well written hehe, but it gets better** THINGS TO NOTE!: James and Lily are already together, in love and a power couple. - although there maybe was some Jegulus at some point ;) Remus only likes guys and hates violence but is secretly dom lol. Sirius has already been kicked out. Also I'm going to say he's Bi (he just doesn't know it yet). There's not a ton of Peter in this mainly because I don't like him and it's my story soo. ***Abuse, self harm, homophobia, depression, and death, are all talked about so far warning. Also there may be sex scenes but I'll try to remember and put a warning up before hand so you can skip if want** I'm going to go into their life after Hogwarts and during the war hopefully but we'll see how far I get haha. It could possibly include Wolfstar raising Harry and or Teddy but I have no idea and still want to remain somewhat cannon soo yeah *Non of the art is mine!! I will be giving credit to the artists by stating their instagram at the bottom of the chapter* Also I apologize in advance for my grammar. Maybe just ignore it if you can? Lol Enjoy :) Cover by @industrations (Indi) on Instagram on

Carve Me Open / r.l. + s.b. / by professortoebeans

Lyall Lupin had once told his son this: Love's not all that complicated. It tells you who it's after and it either gets what it wants or destroys you. And he had never thought it would ever apply to him because let's be honest, who would love an animal like Remus? Well, I'll tell you the answer to that: a charming yet vulgar, somewhat poncey, boy with smoky gray eyes. RL/SB ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS BEING ADDED!

I Love You Padfoot (ENG) by AlexJacksonO_Brien

What if in the year of the Marauders there was one more girl who would be worthy of being called Marauders? How would history have unfolded then? The biggest school Casanova and a small and quite mean witch. What happens when these two characters meet? ""And why are you so scared?" Lily laughed seeing her friend. The teenager moved towards her, and as soon as she saw Padfoot, she grabbed the red-haired's hand and dragged her to the corridor. "What's wrong?" Evans was surprised. "I start to worry." "Lily." Girl looked seriously at her friend. "Look, I don't know exactly how it happened, but..." Began, then took a deep breath and finished. "I slept with Sirius. " "How did I know I'd find you here?" James approached sad teenager. "It's not normal for you to be so sad. What happened?" He asked with concern. "I got lost in all this, James..." Girl whispered. "I don't know what I really feel anymore." "Is it about Sirius?" Boy guessed at which she nodded hesitantly. "Go ahead and talk to me." He encouraged her to talk. "Listen, Sirius is my friend, and so are you. Don't worry, I won't tell him. I promise." Potter smiled warmly. "Whatever you tell me, it stays between us." "Thank you." She replied with a shy smile. "You know... I think I'm in love with him... " They both don't know the exact meaning of love. Will all this change in the near future? • Coloring Book Cover by Lean •

Attending a school meant for kids with rights he'd never have, Remus never considered socializing as an option, as a need of survival for 7 years in one of the most famous Wizarding schools in the Wizarding World. He carried classical books, normally cooped up in his bed in the attic, reading adventure stories or diaries of people who were abnormal, people who were placed in other world's and gave him the idea of what bravery looked like. Shelves of books expanded over his wall, as if they had been planted as seeds and grown by virtue of the sunlight that filled the attic room. His books were his friends, his books were his lover, his book were his personality, his books were his comfort zone. Remus' suitcase for Hogwarts was mostly covered in fragile books, the paint peeling off the covers as the binding bended easily from all the days of being read. He didn't consider this as odd - simply as bringing your friends along. It all started off as an act kindness... Remus never planned for it to turn out the way it did. He was the boy's shield and sword, guiding him as they walked a path together. He didn't plan on the boy having his own sword. He didn't plan on the boy swinging it at him. He never planned on receiving death by a thousand cuts. ‎〰・❦・〰
