    Summary

    Remus Lupin has had a crush on Sirius Black since he was fourteen, from the moment he saw Sirius on the news standing next to his mom as she was sworn in as the mayor of NYC. Things are a bit more complicated now - they are best friends, but Sirius is closeted and a hot mess, and Walburga is running for President. After his first semester of grad school, Remus returns home and joins Sirius' security personnel as a glorified babysitter for the remainder of Walburga's campaign. Remus finds himself spending all hours of the day with Sirius, attending the same meetings, living under the same roof, and sleeping in the same bed. It's the closest they've been since boarding school, and this new proximity messes with his head. Will he be able to keep his long-harbored feelings under wraps?

    Summary

    A Rom-Com AU for Wolfstar of the Marauders.

    Remus finds himself puzzled (too) early on a January morning in a police station. All he had to do was bail majorly mad Marlene McKinnon. Curse her for getting him involved in her habits! He’s left even more jumbled up since he’s had an encounter with a very sumptuous Sirius Black. The encounter doesn’t go well, you see, and Remus is left irritated.

    To Remus’ dire misfortune, they can’t seem to get out of each other’s paths for the next two bloody years! He can’t seem to chase the dog off his tail.

    Sirius and Remus (unnecessary and dragging) pining, the everyday usual.

    Summary

    “We’re not in this place to be perfect, Peter,” James says to him, staring at the hovering moon, smoke clouding in front of his face. “We just have to be, in the way we think we ought to.”

    “I don’t think I do a very good job of that,” Peter says.

    James looks at him, then looks away. “None of us do,” he says. “We all care the most about the things that don’t really matter in the end. What matters is us. Just us. We’re all fucked in the head, and a bit brash, but we wouldn’t be us if we weren’t. We wouldn’t be doing the universe justice if we didn’t live the way she meant for us to.”

    A moment.

    “James?”

    “Yes, Pete?”

    “How do you think you’d want to die?”

    James closes his eyes. “With friends,” he says. “Quietly, and surrounded by friends. That’s when I’m at my best, so that’s how I want to go.”

    or, seven years is a long time. read closely, and there you'll find a glimpse of it all in clumsy unfolding fractals.
