Hello hello could I have a heart please?

I give my great big box of candy hearts a shake...

I open it up to pull on out for @hp-shessocold and see the inscription...

MEET ME

[hp-shessocold]

Christmas break, 6th year. Hermione's parents are off on a skiing trip and she invites Viktor over.

[killer-kelp]

Ok so I finally made a dedicated Wolfstar blog, you can follow me there if you like fic but resent being, er, subjected to all the Bowie pictures I reblog here.

@hp-shessocold

[wolfstarlibrarian]

hey this might be a bit of an odd ask, but i was wondering if you haven’t already if you could possibly compile a list of recommendations that are a “must read” or “fandom favourites” for wolfstar?

Hello friend! Not an odd ask at all, but a difficult one to answer. No matter who you ask, everyone will give you a different set of fics that are their “must reads” or “fandom classics”, so I appreciate your “favourites” option which is much less daunting. 

If you’re looking for canon-era/MWPP era fics as an intro to the wolfstar fandom, start with this list: 

Wolfstar Starter Kit

Now onto the fics the Librarian finds themselves reading over and over again. If you also like fics with adults, sweet romance vibes, maybe some comedy and happy endings, then you might like these as well! Also check out Favorite Fic Bingo: 1-4.

The Librarian’s 12 Favorite Fics 

Modern Artists: Celestial Bodies by @remus-john-lupin

This feels like the best of all of the Librarian’s favorite ideas wrapped into one beautiful fic. Modern get together, crazy prongs, sexy chaotic painter Sirius, cute nerd Remus, loving parents and an issue with timing all come together in the most lovely prose. It’s a visual feast the way the words leap off the page and paint a picture in your mind, making the entire romance feel like a magical movie. 

Canon-Era Get Together: Unknown Pleasures by @kattlupin

So, Remus moves in with a PLANT BABY OKAY, and there are scenes where Sirius gives him his hoodie to wear, and there’s so much pining and the two of them trying to be kind to each other in a scary situation it’s just...ugh. This soft and tender fic pulls at the heart strings and was immediately Librarian’s favorite canon-era fic. It’s coming to terms with who you, and who you can be, and leaves the reader comforted in the face of the unknown.

Finding Love w/Anxiety: Roma is Amor spelled backwards by @aryastark-valarmorghulis

Too often, characters mental health struggles are written into a partnership where one of them “saves” the other from their insecurities. While romance is powerful, it never saves us from our anxieties, and thankfully this fic doesn’t shy away from the realism of finding love with anxiety. It’s incredibly relatable and will leave you with a feeling of hope and peace. Beautiful prose and lovely descriptors round out a quiet story that sneaks into your heart.

Modern with Great Banter: How Remus Got His Groove Back by @theprongsletthatlived

The Librarian paused for full two minutes trying to categorize this fic and still failed, but don’t let that stop you from reading this fic. If it was a book, it’d be the Librarian’s favorite. It can stand on its own, but the characters are still true to their canon selves, despite being thrown into need and complicated situations. Deep emotions juxtaposed against witty banter and modern shenanigans may ruin you for another modern fics, but it’s definitely worth it. 

College Comedy + Magic: A Supplementary Story by @elixirsoflife

Sassy college student Remus meets Vampire Sirius? At first its sounds too silly to be good, but this one always gets the Librarian laughing and is reread repeatedly to chase away bad nighttime thoughts.

Battling Insecurities/Smut: A Pair of Brown Eyes by @hp-shessocold

This features a Librarian’s favorite trope: older wolfstar! They’re realistic and still so in love with each other that you’ll swoon. And if that doesn’t do it, the way that Sirius helps Remus while getting him off? Well, it’s a fantasy and wholesome moment combined. 

Customer Service Fluff: Let's Go Out With a Bang -orphaned account

Most people can relate to the woes of customer service, but this one gives the reader a fluffy fantasy of what could happen. Cotton candy fluff. 

Coffee-shop AU: Finest in Fairford by @bluepeon-y

There may be tens of thousands of coffee shop AUs, but this one has a quiet magic to it that sets it apart. Also, Sirius as an author is underrated and it compliments  the way this fic this features each of their nerdy sides in this author-meet-cute fantasy.

Modern Teacher: Signs of Affection by @kittycargo

Do you wish there was a comfort fic that was soft without all the angst? A fic that taught you new ways to express love or find a family? This is that fic. It’s a gentle journey to the heart where they’re both teachers, and both learn a little something from each other. If a fic could hug you and tell you it’ll all be okay, this would be the one to do it. 

Awkward Magic: A Black Dog by @toyhto

This is maybe the strangest premise on the list but it’s so good. It takes a flower shop au and twists it sideways in an awkward situation where Remus isn’t magical and Sirius is still under his spell. A short and sweet delight that you won’t be able to forget. 

Wartime Wedding: Young Hearts Intertwined by @goodboylupin

What’s better than a look into James and Lily’s wedding? Getting a surprise, impromptu invitation to Remus and Sirius’s happening at the same time, that’s what! And just like being at a real wedding you’ll laugh at the ridiculous, smile at the warm moments, and maybe even shed the happiest of tears watching it all go down. This fic is the funnest wedding you’ll ever attend, and as a gift for attending you’re rewarded with the simplest of common sense canon fixes. Grab some champagne and enjoy!

Love Online: You've Got Love by @cruisinwritealong

The Librarian is a sucker for romcoms and this fic is the best. Emails filled with love and tenderness against a backdrop of retail rivalry will make you yell at your screen with glee and frustration. It’s a total escape that shows that the best kind of love is the one that makes you feel like you’re home. 

Well, those are all the fics that the Librarian has been rereading over the past year, but the list feels incomplete since there are just too many fics to choose from. This is why there’s an ENTIRE LIBRARY dedicated to this fan’s faves. Anyway, hope you find a few love on this list, and happy reading!

FIC REC TAG MEME

the ever so darling @sitp-recs did this a few days back (click here to see hers because it's 🔥🔥) and I wanted to jump in! this was HARD. it has a good mix of ships but it's still mostly drarry! it was a really fun exercise to think of fics that fit these specific categories and i ended up revisiting a few i love but hadn't thought of in a long time.

• A fic you love without knowing the source material: the light that the fire would bring by @slytherco

• A fic with a premise that shouldn’t work but it does: much like Liv said on hers, all premises have the potential to work, so this is a hard one. I'm going to go with El laagh l'è frècc by @hp-shessocold because it's just such an out-there unique AU that I adore with my whole heart.

• A fic you’ve reread several times: er... Sardines by @shiftylinguini 😳

• A fic you still remember many years later: definitely Yours to Keep by @dracoismytrashson (it counts as 'many years later' because i've not been reading Drarry for long and my memory is shit so anything before mid-2020 that I actually still remember definitely had an immense impact)

• A comfort fic: Through the May Air, Over the Ocean by @tsauergrass

• A cathartic fic: The Weather Inside by @ebp-brain

• A fic you’d print and put on your bookshelf: Far From The Tree by aideomai

• A fic you associate with a song: Burn the Witch by @lettersbyelise

• A fic that inspires you: Every Breath You Take by @ohdrarry

• A fic that brought you onboard a new ship: Black Forest by @bigblackdogfic and @ruinsplume

• A fic you wish could be a movie: The Last of What the World Left You by @xanthippe74

• A fic that led to you making friends with the author: A Room Up There (And You In It) by @the-starryknight (same as Liv, ha!)

• Free Space: which i am using as 'the fic that left you in such a state you had to immediately put yourself to bed': Last Offices by @tackytigerfic

• A fic you’ve gushed about irl: Running on Air by @tinyhistory

• A fic you associate with a place: Unseen by @jackvbriefs

• A fic that made you gasp out loud: Who We Are In the Shadows by @quicksilvermaid

• A fic you found at the right time: Breathe You In by @shealwaysreads

• A fic that you would read fic of: In Every Universe by @skeptiquewrites

• A fic that made you laugh out loud: My Saviour Won't Stop Texting Me by @fw00shy for this year's @lcdrarry

• A fic with a line (or two) that you’ve memorized by heart: Can't Fight this Feeling by @writcraft

• A fic that gave you butterflies: Telling the Bees by @cibeewastaken

• A fic that embodies something that you value in life: The Lesson of You by thecouchsofa

• A favorite AU: Holding Out by @bigblackdogfic (more canon divergence than AU but that's just semantics, right?)

• A fic you stayed up too late to finish reading: Open For Repairs by @drarrytrash

• A fic that made you feel seen: Full Circle by @lqtraintracks

[yumenouveau]

Finished a long overdue gift art for the incredible and oh-so-patient @hp-shessocold from her super smutty and well written fic Something Else.  Now normally I’m very picky about my Wolfstar, no one better get in the way of their relationship, but this fic is so hot and done in such a way that I loved every moment.  Go read it and find out who’s watching from a nearby chair 

[blitheringmcgonagall]

Hey miaaa, 3 and 13 for the asks please <33

@keepingupwithpotters thank you love!! <3

3. Are there any fics that inspired you to write what you do?

Yes, I started off reading the old, wonderful, long Jily fics like The Life & Times, Commentarius and my all- time favourite All Right Evans

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8528896/1/All-Right-Evans

Which all drove me to distraction because they are amazing, but none of them were finished??? So that’s really what made me start writing my long canon marauders Jily & Wolfstar Fic which is finished and has a happy ending and a canon ending, you can pick what you prefer!

And I got into Wolfstar after reading some great fics by @hp-shessocold and starting the amazing canon marauders (more Wolfstar than Jily) by @wewereinfinitelywolfstar :

And all I will say is that I have had readers who did not like Wolfstar convert to big fans after reading We Can Be Heroes so I call it a win 🥳🥳🥳

13. Do you outline your fics? How much of a headache would someone get if they just looked at an outline of yours without reading the fic?

This question made me laugh, I have zero outlines for any of my fics!!!

Even the canon 300k one, lmao! It’s just a list in my head of obvious stuff that has to go into it like any other marauders fic:

Defy Voldy x 3

Proposals

Order fights etc

Weddings

Baby harry

How does Peter turn?

Halloween

Happy and stupid canon endings

(In my head, for all my other fics there was zero outlines, including my current anti fascist/murder mystery Fic 😂😂😂😂!) so no headaches ;)))

[aryastark-valarmorghulis]

Hello! I don't know you but I recently read a fic of yours, and it's not mentioned.. but I have to know.. 'What became of the dreams we had' is titled after The Libertines - What Became Of The Likely Lads? - Sincerely a very random massive Libertines fan

Hi Anon, thanks for stopping by! You guessed right, “What became of the dreams we had” is titled after that beautiful song by The Libertines.  I must credit the brilliant @hp-shessocold for the idea because she is always great at suggesting the right title! (And I do like to use lyrics as titles!)

[wolfywordweaver]

So, I had a huge goal of writing 100 reviews today in honor of the Marauders Readathon, but a migraine has hit and I’m pretty bummed out about not getting anywhere near that many in. :’(  I’ve still been working on leaving reviews and will probably extend this to the rest of the month just so that I can hit my review goal. 

So, before I pass out from my medication, I’d like to leave some fic reccs for anyone interested.

Some of Wolfy’s favorite complete WolfStar fics:

Flesh and Blood Need Flesh and Blood by RealityShowJunkie

Summary - In 1968, Azkaban State Penitentiary reported finding convict Sirius Black stabbed to death inside the prison hospital.In 2003, Hogsmeade P.D. finds Sirius Black's fractured skeleton in an escape tunnel outside the prison.

First Blood by @january3693

Summary -  The reality of the war against Voldemort finally hits home for the Marauders when Sirius is captured during what should have been a simple mission for the Order.

Calibration by TheDivineComedian

For one evening, though, he'll have to let them come out and play. (Remus prepares the Boggart for his lesson with the third years. Featuring Severus Snape as an unwanted critic, and Sirius Black as the elephant in the room.)

Catch Me If You Can by failedcharismacheck

Summary - "Coming through!" Sirius shouts, scattering a group of Ravenclaws as he runs through the hall. He imagines he must look like an American football player, barreling through the crowd with Remus's book tucked under his arm, it’s owner in pursuit. (It's more fun to make your crush chase you around the school than it is to talk about your feelings)

Fancy Meeting You Here series by NachoDiablo

Summary -  Various bits of Remus and Sirius having some good, wholesome, smutty roleplay fun. These stories are mostly set sometime post-Hogwarts, pre-everything going to shit.

Desperado by fluorescentgrey [beware, this will wreck you. in the best of ways.]

A Grim Old Place by Evandar

Summary -  All Remus wants after his divorce is a project to keep busy and a quiet place to finish his fourth novel. What he gets is a mysterious house in the posh part of Kensington, which is being haunted by a ghost with a surprisingly decent sense of humour.

Dulce et Decorum by @hp-shessocold

Summary -  Sirius shows some common decency on the battlefield.

El laagh l'è frècc by @hp-shessocold

Sirius is a cigarette smuggler on the Swiss/Italian border.

“I have something to tell you,” he says, and he takes a deep breath. He’s been expelled, thinks James, automatically. He’s been expelled and now he’s planning to hide here for the rest of the year. Great. Perfect.

“Look, Pads, I’m sure that if you talked to Dumbledore…”

“What?” says Sirius, taken aback.

“I don’t know what you did, but if they didn’t kick you out after that thing with Snivellus chances are that they wouldn't– ”

“James,” says Sirius, seizing him by the shoulders. “Stop. I’m not in trouble. Let me finish.”

“Oh. All right. What happened to you, then?”

“I, er, snogged someone last night.”

The idea occurred to me while I waited for the Avengers: Infinity Wars stinger.

Hello dearest librarian, I was wondering if you could recommend some fics where our boys are over 30? Hope you have a wonderful day♡

Yes friend! The Librarian LOVES reading about love beyond youth, has a few recs for you, and is always looking for new ones (please share links!). Hope you enjoy this new list and the original list from the Card Catalogue.

Wolfstar 30 Years Old and Up

Wolfstar 30 Years Old and Up 2

Good Year by @maraudorable Sirius and Remus one happy morning before the start of their first year of teaching at Hogwarts together. Set the year after the end of the Second Wizarding War.

Petty (With A Prior) & Proposal (With a Problem) by @quoththethestral Showing up for his ‘civic duty’ is one thing, getting out of jury duty without losing his shit is another. Tack on an attorney who finds the whole fiasco hilarious, and Remus might as well be in hell. The Courthouse AU of my dreams.

Full Value of Joy by @dogsunderfoot

After personal tragedy strikes, Remus disappears from the lives of his friends for five years. When Sirius finally finds him, Remus is reluctant to re-establish their friendship. Is it because of his unspoken grief—or something else entirely?

Unwavering Faith by @weird-fangirling-persona

Overcome with grief, Remus returns from the Department of Mysteries determined to find a way to bring back the love of his life. Through research, remembered moments, and a few dark rituals, Remus knows he has found a way if he's willing.

I'll Have A Pint With You, Sir by @hp-shessocold

A crowded pub is a terrible place to work on your book, Remus.

Earned It by @notmycatsname

Remus never thought he'd live to see forty. He's not sure what to do now that he's here.

[jencala]

You often give recommendations out so are there any writers that are lesser known you would recommend?

eThis is a wonderful ask, Nonny, because I love sharing writers that aren’t necessarily getting the love they should.   Some of the best fics I’ve read have so few reviews and kudos and need to have more love shown. 💚

In no particular order here are some Wolfstar writers you should check out:

Accioromulus:  They currently have three fics posted and I’ve made my way through all three and they are just wonderful.  Slow, pining, burn from Sirius’ pov and oh wow.  Just gorgeous.

Wolfstargarden: @wolfstargarden  Is a very dear friend and a brilliant writer.  Her fics are gorgeously written and deserve so much love. One of her fics just placed in the Mischief Managed Awards and is just utterly gorgeous.  She’s only just starting to get the recognition she so rightfully deserves.

LLaeyro:  @llaeyro  She is another dear friend who doesn’t get the love she deserves for her gorgeous fics.  Prolific writer with various pairings, but let’s be real, I’m all here for the Wolfstar.   The way she turns a sentence is just beautiful.

Shessocold: @hp-shessocold writes beautiful Wolfstar!  Her fics are humorous and just wonderful.  Her smut is hot, unexpected, and she does an amazing job of breathing life into minor characters.

Veeagainst: @veeagainsttheday  Her writing is beautiful and incredibly varied.  From teeth-achingly sweet fluff to the angstiest of angst, you will not be disappointed. 

YumeNouveau:  @yumenouveau  I think she’s better known for her incredible artwork, but her writing is just as wonderful.  Her fics are original with evocative imagery and just absolutely beautifully written. 

There are so many other writers that deserve the recognition and attention they should, so reblog this and add your own recs people!  Let’s spread the Wolfstar love and share some recs today!

Thanks for the ask, Nonny!

[yumenouveau]

Headcanons for Wolfstar personalities...

I’ve been carefully reading a lot of stuff about Wolfstar and people being unhappy/offended by the portrayal of Sirius (especially, I think?) by other writers. And I think that it’s based on assumptions that may be incorrect.

To explain: in my case, I happen to work as a psychiatrist and obviously I see mental health everywhere, including in characters I see in books. And it interests me to look at how someone is described in canon and what their background is, and to come up with theories as to how it could have affected them from a mental health perspective, in a positive and negative way.

Your upbringing and your early life experiences as well as your genes have a massive impact on your brain development and place you at varying risk for developing mental illness and/or personality disorders. This does not mean you are a weak person, far from it, it just affects how you view relationships, your ability to trust others, your ability to self-soothe, to calm your emotions, your fear of abandonment etc. mental health problems affect both men and women, just to note here. Members of the 🏳️‍🌈 community have higher rates of mental illnesses as teenagers, not surprisingly, due to the higher stress/shit they have to put up with.

Anyway....

So for me, based on canon evidence that Sirius ‘ mother used to scream at him, that he hates his family, that he ran away from home, that he made impulsive decisions and used to get into regular fights/hex Slytherin wannabe death eaters etc, I headcanon him as having borderline personality disorder. It just makes sense to me. And yes this means he experiences very intense emotions that can be overwhelming, he can lose his temper quite badly, he has fears of abandonment and finds it very hard to trust people and can become paranoid/quasi psychotic when very stressed (I’m sorry but if that doesn’t sound like canon Sirius???) - but in no sense whatsoever is that me implying he is in some way “feminine” or the female in the relationship. That’s like implying that only women have traumatic early life experiences???? It’s just me making sense of his background and what little canon info we have, and then imagining how it would have affected him. James is his secure base, that someone he has learnt to completely trust. The Potters seem to be the same for him. He’s way less secure when it comes to romantic relationships so that includes Remus. In my mind he gets depressed after being forced back into grimmauld place, unable to contribute and DO SOMETHING and reminded of the emotional abuse (and probably physical abuse and emotional neglect) he experienced there. He probably has PTSD as well. I mean who wouldn’t after being stuck in Azkaban for 12 years?????

In Grimmauld Place, he gets depressed, and he changes from the very helpful, supportive godfather to Harry earlier in the HP books to then making rash decisions and Hermione is worried about him in canon.

btw Boderline Personality Disorder occurs in males and females, although it is easier to get misdiagnosed as a male because often when you present with drug or alcohol abuse eg professionals don’t recognise the underlying problem which made you turn to substance abuse in the first place.

Okay, so in no sense whatsoever is my headcanon of Sirius as “dramatic” (if you want to call it that), based on misogyny or me thinking he’s the female in the relationship or whatever. It’s simply based on the info from the books, and how I imagine it affecting him. I hope that makes sense. It would be EXACTLY THE SAME if I was writing about a female character who had had the same life experiences.... it’s not based on gender. Sirius being into flying motorbikes, wearing ridiculous coloured t shirts with a Phoenix on it, sticking up multiple muggle women posters in his room - the guy does drama rather well in canon. And I don’t see any of this drama as at all “feminine” ... it’s just him. He’s also described as very good looking in canon. Again that’s not trying to make him feminine it’s just a fact. You can be very attractive and very male, lol!

Then Remus. So we know he suffered a huge trauma aged about 5 which changed his life forever. He thinks he’s too old, too poor, too ‘wrong’ to get married, he’s surprised he makes any friends and that they accept him as he is. In canon, He has low self esteem and won’t stand up to James and Sirius when they “bully” Snape after the exam. Anyway, I headcanon that he has PTSD, probably complex PTSD because each month is traumatic for him. And then after 31st October 1981 he experienced complete loss of all his friends and what he now believes is betrayal by his lover. I guess he probably became depressed for a time and may have drunk excessively to cope. With PTSD, people often feel closed off emotionally and that’s how I see Remus. Don’t get me wrong, I see both Remus and Sirius as being incredibly resilient despite their respective traumas. They are incredibly loyal, to their friends, to Harry, to Harry’s friends, they both risked their lives regularly with the Order to save others, they both die trying to save Harry and the next generation. They are heroes. Remus is a very kind and thoughtful person who the students love. Sirius is willing to live off rats in a cave to help Harry. They are both incredibly likable, strong characters. That’s how I write them and I really don’t see how that is in any way misogynistic at all. I think when you get where the characterization is coming from, then maybe this idea / assumption is not so valid? I mean you can still believe that, but it’s just not accurate.

In relation to who is top/bottom or don/sub etc, I don’t really care. I am quite happy to read either/all the above. Personally I think maybe they switch depending on time of the month?? I don’t think being a bottom equates being less male/masculine at all. I don’t see why it should. In canon Remus seems to be the only person Sirius immediately listens to (“sit down!”) so that may sound a bit dom I suppose. The greater tendency towards dom Remus is most likely also a reaction to earlier fandom ideas where Remus was very wet blankety/passive unpopular guy who has never dated anyone and Sirius was the suave/popular guy who had loads of conquests under his belt!! And to each their own, I personally don’t really fancy that version of Wolfstar.

But I have read fics with Dom Sirius and others with Dom Remus, fics with Blackinnon (even if I’m not usually a fan, I have been won over by brilliant writing @stonecoldhedwig 😍😍😍!), fics with Jegulus (even though Jily is absolutely my favourite but @wolfstargarden your writing is too good 😂!!!) fics with Remus being buff (💕💕💕@confunded-gryffindor !!) and fics with Sirius being a mechanic and others where he’s an artist( @jencala !!! ❤️❤️) or where Sirius is an Indiana Jones type character (@hp-shessocold😍😍!) you can be any of these things and can be either female or a male character. You can be a drag queen or a tattoo artist and be very Sirius (@jennandblitz 😉!) . I’ve read Sirius dying of cancer (ugh!! 💔) fics and Remus having a chronic illness quite a few times. As long as it’s well written and I love the characters , I don’t care. As you know, I read a LOT of fics and I generally let people know what I think about their fics (by gushing about the writing!) so you know I’m not making this up, lol!

There is some research suggesting that people with BPD traits often end up in relationships with people who are quite opposite e.g. don’t express strong emotions/are emotionally repressed/distant etc. maybe they compliment each other. So in my universe Wolfstar do compliment each other. I’m currently refusing to consider canon endings ☹️☹️☹️!

Anyway, that’s enough. I feel good for explaining what I think. You can agree or disagree. I happen to think that many people write characters based on their own life experiences and that this affects the portrayal.

I went a bit overboard with this!! I need a cup of tea or some sleep!! Up early tomorrow!

The Wolfstar fandom is full of incredibly talented people and I hope you can all put these disagreements behind you and move on. Good night❤️
