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 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 •

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.

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

He grabbed her transfiguration book from her hand and held it up in the air teasingly. "No, Sirius give that back," she said. She tried to grab the book from him, but he lifted it out of her reach. "Come on, let's go." Book in hand, he began strolling through the now nearly empty corridor. With a growl, Thea followed him, her arms crossed over her chest. "Give it back." "No," he called back to her. "Please, Sirius!" He turned around, his eyebrows furrowed together. "Please?" he said. "Sirius? What's the matter with you today?" She looked down, avoiding his eyes. "Curse me!" he continued, edging closer to her. "Hex me! Go on, yell at me! Get your book back! You never let me push you around!" She stayed silent, her nose tingling and eyes becoming misty. "Talk to me," he said. She jumped, not realizing just how close he had gotten to her. She could feel his breath on her face, his body smelled clean, like soap. He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head so she had to look at him. "Ditch class with me."

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.

"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)

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.

Mirror Moon: A Wolfstar Fanfic by 0_Lost_in_Thought_0

Sirius Black has been disowned, Remus Lupin is struggling with the reality of being a werewolf. Neither of them knows what their futures hold. When Remus doesn't show up at Hogwarts, Sirius is faced with the challenge of moving past old quarrels and helping his friend. Is he worthy of Remus? Is he worthy of his friends? Warnings: Some homophobia, implied childhood abuse, physical fighting, coming out Exciting update! Part 2 is now being posted under the title "And Yet, The Sun Still Rose - A Collection of Wolfstar Stories." I also have a Regulus fanfic that is complete and available to read if you are interested! Part 2: Sirius and Remus are in love, but the world is shifting, and the Marauders are growing older. Soon, they will have to leave Hogwarts and find their own way through the world among the growing turmoil in the wizarding community. These are stories of love, friendship, family, and sometimes pain that shape the Marauders during their final years at Hogwarts and beyond. Most of what you are about to read was written around three years ago during a difficult period in my life. I won't go into the details of such things here, but I can say that writing about the Marauders, often daily at the time, was an escape for me and what was initially a plan for a cohesive second installment of my "Mirror Moon" story quickly changed into something that resembled a collection of moments. I figured I'd never be able to share it because the story doesn't run smoothly, but when I opened the document today and saw that I'd written over 170,000 words, I knew that I needed to comb through it and find the individual stories within. All I hope is that these stories can bring you joy, entertainment or even just a short escape as they did for me all those years ago.

Twilight {-Remus Lupin x Reader-} by bobbihasnouser

ON HOLD {---} ❛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! 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.
