True Love in a Shack

Title: Map of the Problematique (D.M.L.E. Evidentiary File 142-3b.)
Author/Artist: SullenSiren (sullensiren(at)gmail(dot)com)
Rating: NC-17
Summary: "He's going to make it a RULE." Before they went their separate ways, Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail shared a flat. The flat had rules. This is how it went.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Rowling, Warner Brothers, and the powers that be have all the power. I'm just building castles in their sandbox. Please don't sue.
Feedback: Would make my day!
Any other random notes, warnings, etc.: Written for ladyblack888, in the rs_small_gifts fic exchange. It isn't precisely what she asked for, and god knows it ran way over the word count - but hopefully it's a good enough gift anyway! I apologize for being late - it spiraled so massively out of control. HUGE thanks to tygress, who did all the graphics as well as put up with my constant babble and hyperventilating while I was working on it. (And posted the first part for me!) Also thanks to cotume27 and hazelhawthorne for the beta! Any mistakes remaining are utterly and completely my fault. Additional story notes can be found here.

This story is not a WIP. It was too long for one post, so I divided it into two parts.

Part One / Part Two

Title: I look at the world and I notice it's turning
Author: kaydeefalls
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Remus/Sirius, Remus/Tonks
Summary: Wherein are many mistakes, acts of cowardice, displays of emotion, and history repeating itself over and over again.
Disclaimer: Not mine, no profit, don't sue.
Warnings: DH spoilers
Notes: Thanks to juweldom for the beta.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

I couldn't choose between these stories. Each is very short (less than a thousand words), but epic when it comes to emotions and themes.

Title: Afflict Our Natures
Author/Artist: kitestringer
Pairing(s): Remus/Sirius
Rating: PG-13 for violence
Why this fic/art needs to be shacked: This story has real, raw power. It honestly had a physical impact on me, like a jolt of electricity up my spine. Days after reading it, I was still thinking about it at the oddest moments. With the oodles of R/S fluff that's been produced lately, it's great to find a piece that captures the darkest side of love. kitestringer takes the old lovers' promise "I would kill for you" to a whole new level, mingling disgust and tenderness with a dash of expert foreshadowing.

Title: World Without End
Author/Artist: kitestringer
Pairing(s): Sirius/Remus and [highlight to read spoilery DH pairing-->]Dumbledore/Grindelwald
Rating: PG
Why this fic/art needs to be shacked: kitestringer draws a parallel between R/S and a rather spoilery DH pairing, and it works brilliantly. There's sorrow, nostalgia and hopeless longing, but kitestringer's deft style prevents this piece from growing maudlin.

Title: After the War
Pairing: Sirius/Remus
Word Count: 664
Rating: PG-13

Warnings: language, smoking, general dysfunction
Summary: There is no after.  Only now.  They have come, slowly, to understand this.
Notes: Cross posted to remusxsiriusand my journal.  Also, my first HP fic in probably close to two years.  Written (quickly) before the release of Deathly Hallows.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters, including and especially Sirius and Remus.

Title: Combat Rock
Author: Kettle
Rating: Hard R (sex and violence)
Pairings: Remus/Sirius, James/Lily
Era: Pre-Azkaban, First War
Spoilers: PoA, OoTP, DH
Word Count: 4727
Disclaimer: The characters, settings and some of the plot belong to J.K. Rowling, not me. No infringement intended. I’m not making money out of this. Also, this story owes a lot to The Clash’s album Combat Rock.
Summary: We don’t know how to fight for what we want.

Notes: Thanks so much to cursedinsanity for her excellent beta ♥
For plot purposes, the timeline of deaths and disappearances (as outlined by Moody in OotP) has been shuffled around a bit.
Although it’s set during the first war, this story contains some minor SPOILERS for Deathly Hallows.

Fic: Young Men and Their Gangly Limbs
Author: sheafrotherdon
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Disclaimer: JKR owns the pups, I merely play with them
Rating: PG13
Summary: Remus has a birthday. Sirius has Plans ™
A/N: for spacedye_vest on her birthday! *smishes Ni* Thanks to dogeared, as ever, for the beta, and a tug o' the forlock to franticbabbles from whom I borrowed a certain physical attribute to give to Sirius.

a paper had been published in _Biomagical Genetics and Deep Wizarding Thoughts_ some months before, analyzing the correlation between knock-knees, bony hips, and a predilection for trouble. While the paper bore a suitably academic title, Lily Evans immediately thrust it in the faces of three of the four ne'er-do-wells known to regularly take up space at her kitchen table and suggested it should've been called 'why the Marauders are professionally disastrous skinny bastards and don't give me that look, James Potter'

Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: JKR owns the pups, I merely play with them
Summary: Sirius is caught between what should be and what is - suspicious, confused, happy, and far beyond hope of turning back.
A/N: Stream of altered consciousness on my part, I think :) ~400 words

For seconds after, all he can think about is the fact that it's messy – everything's sticky and bits of him hurt in ways they didn't before, muscles stretched and burning, bruises blooming on his shoulder and hip.

Title/pairing(s): Remus/Sirius
Ratings: R/NWS.

I took a little side trip away from Remus and Sirius, but have finally drawn them the way I like them the best, just the two of them!
