R/S recs

I'm going to turn this into a Masterlist of my Remus Lupin/Sirius Black fanart. It's a mirror account at my remussirius headquarters at Dreamwidth, but LJ first!

Why I'm recommending this: I really could choose any one of musesfool's get-together fics, since they are all lovely. I chose this one because the scene quoted below makes me laugh like a loon.
Excerpt:

"You didn't even use a silencing charm."

"Why should I? I haven't anything to be ashamed of. You made me hard and now I'm having it off. Going to think about you while I'm doing it, too."

Summary: It's the autumn of Sixth Year, there's a flu epidemic at Hogwarts, and the Blacks want their heir back.

Why I'm recommending this: There are so many things to love within this fic. It was written in 2005 for scarvesnhats, the autumn edition of the seasonal fic-a-day challenges that used to run in R/S fandom, so it has a gentle and steady day-at-a-time pacing that works well for a fic about two boys in the 1970s gradually coming to realise they fancy one another. It's gorgeously written, and being seasonally-inspired, it's full of the most beautiful of autumnal imagery: harvest fruits, falling leaves, snagging scarves, the nip of frost at the windows. rosemaryandrue's prose style is lean, lyrical and full of warmth, infused with humour and wit and moments of introspection, and a plot surprisingly engaging for what is in essence a 47K character study of all the Marauders. Oh heavens, her characterisation is to die for: long-suffering Remus and his hatred of his prefects' meetings, and Sirius' obsession with Remus' ankles! 'Tis this above all else - the characters and the author's obvious affection for them all - that keeps me coming back to this fic and the 'verse it's part of. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Title: Boiling Point
Author: anniesj
Word Count: 8415
Alternate Links to Fic: http://archive.skyehawke.com/story…
Rating: NC-17
Contains: *Language, sexual situation*
Author's Website/Masterlist: http://archive.skyehawke.com/autho…
Why I'm recommending this: Remus & Sirius stuck in a boiler room all night with their raging hormones and feelings they are just starting to discover--what's not to love? It's horny teenage boys at their sweetest, sexiest, and funniest, with an annoyed but horny Remus and an endearing Sirius who won't take no for an answer.

Author's Website/Masterlist: Here, I suppose ETA: The writer has a website here.
Why I'm recommending this: why you've chosen to rec this fic - review, quotations, etc.
Excerpt: This has been one of my favorite stories full stop since I first read it a couple of years ago. I love the characterizations, particularly Remus, and the sense of magic throughout the story. I love feeling fully immersed in the world, and then the boys fall in love :D ( Collapse )

Title: Follow Your Own Tracks

Image Count: 1 (but multiple inside the one)
Alternate Links to Art: None that I could find
Rating: PG-13
Contains: * partial nudity *
Artist's Website/Masterlist: art masterlist
Why I'm recommending this: why you've chosen to rec this fic - review, quotations, etc.
It shows a beautiful story in a really beautiful way. Every time I see it, I think of the beginning of a song in Alice in Wonderland "I give myself very good advice but I very seldom follow it". Remus is given advice from someone who wants to protect him but he finds his own way.

Theme: april, getting together
Title: Undone
Author: librae
Word Count: 4400
Alternate Links to Fic: skyehawke
Rating: NC-17
Contains: *sexual situations*
Author's Website/Masterlist: skyehawke
Why I'm recommending this: I absolutely love this fic, not only is it ridiculously hot, but there's something utterly adorable about the unsaid and implied things throughout it. The way Remus is absolutely ashamed of himself, and Sirius is most definitely up to something. Everyone just feels so in-character and it's such a different sort of getting together fic. There are feelings and worry, but they're not at the forefront, there's no long-term plans, they feel so much like the teenagers they are in this fic, it's fantastic.

eeeek, did I do it right?
