Safe And Sound by Orphan_Account

Moving into his new flat after his divorce, James Potter is surprised to meet his new neighbour--the ever adorable, sweet, Deaf Remus Lupin. Growing up a CODA, James is more than happy to meet someone who speaks his mother tongue, but isn't sure what to do when the feelings of friendship start to turn into something deeper. Freshly divorced, is James ready to move on?

It has been since first year: this delirious want suffused in Remus’s veins. James introduced himself on their first day at university and Remus’s heart hasn’t sat right in his chest since. It’s been bunched over, scrunched in a corner to make room for James and his booming laugh and bright smile, the way his calloused fingers grip Remus’s elbow as he passes him in the hallway of their shared flat and scoops out his pulse. two boys and a day.

Blood Moon by @impishtubist

“No, you misunderstand.” Dumbledore’s icy-blue gaze holds his own, and for some reason, Remus feels a chill crawl down his spine. “Harry doesn’t know that James is alive.”

Crowns and Coffee Cups by @eyra

There's the wild, hedonistic James, all wicked grins and bright eyes behind his trademark glasses, and then there's the quiet, deliberate James with his low voice and a big, warm hand on Remus's chest, trying to feel for a fever beneath the cotton of his t-shirt and Remus thinks, as he closes his eyes to the touch, that both James's are rather wonderful but this one - this one is his. Remus gets ill, sometimes. James is always there.

Finding Me, Finding You by @puuvillaa

James has a one-night stand with Remus. In the morning, he realises what a big mistake he has made.

They survived a war, and grew alongside each other, until life finally pulled the three of them in different directions. The night before James Potter leaves for a Healing residency in another country, he and Remus spend one last night together. Five years later, Sirius Black is getting married, and Remus finds himself face-to-face with James for the first time since that night . The night that ended in empty promises and a fever Remus couldn't sweat out. Sirius is in love. James is charming and handsome as he had ever been. And Remus, without a doubt, is unbelievably ruined.

Then Let’s Have Everything by probablydaydreaming

Remus has a breeding kink and James acts on it + cute, fluffy talks about the future and starting a family

I can wait, I can wait by bertramwooster 

Remus Lupin spent almost every day of his 13th summer with James Potter.

tie the anchor to our feet and say goodbye by @mkaugust

Remus knows things never happen one at a time. He just didn’t expect to spend James' final months having a poorly timed sexuality crisis.

Until the Moon Sets by BelladonnaLee @lee-bella

On a moonlit night in the waning summer, Remus takes two bottles of Butterbeer and a pack of cigarettes to the Great Lake for a rendezvous with a certain someone who is no longer here.

Howling at the Moon by BelladonnaLee @lee-bella

He is lost in the forest of antlers, lost in his prey and lover's antlers on this full moon night.

Demoralized by Mairi Nathaira (Tara) 

Remus is a prostitute. He runs into someone he knows and things changes from there.

Coming Second by orphan_account

James has a tough Quidditch match. Luckily Remus is on hand to sooth his.... Soul.

Campfire Confessions by @mkaugust

Quiet & warm late summer nights and a stolen hoodie.

The Truth Will Out by BeautifullyBrokenPeople

Auror James Potter gets cursed on a mission, and the consequences will have him revealing his deepest darkest secrets; but how will Remus, his best friend and long-time crush, handle the truth?

A Patient Wolf by RonsGirlFriday

"A gentleman is simply a patient wolf." (Lana Turner) A series of vignettes marking the passage of time in an unrequited Remus/James.

Fine by June by eprime

Remus gets everything he wants, and then he gives it up again.

Jersey Boys by @aqua-myosotis

James is going mad, Remus is a cutey and Sirius is done with it.

ripe, and semi-sweet by theweeddecays @remuspotterblack

Remus is finally ready to follow through on a promise he made to James.

The Art of Flying by @theresthesnitch

James always looked so pretty up in the air, but now, Remus controls when he gets to come… and when he gets to come down.

(PS... think a great fic is missing? Send an ask with a rec, it's not too late!)

solar eclipse [E] by goldenbi | 700 words Remus Lupin/James Potter

“Remus,” James whispered softly in the doorway. 

Remus looked up from where he was laying Harry down in his bed, and Remus’s warm eyes met his, relaxed and fond.

James’s heart sped up just like it had over the past few years. When Remus read to Harry, his voice soothing and tender. Remus switching to a book for James after Harry fell asleep. Remus giving Harry a bath and James hearing Harry’s giggles down the hall as he made them dinner. Remus glancing up at him across the table. Remus singing Harry to sleep in that somber Welsh voice. Remus telling Harry to stop running and the heat flaring in James with the command in Remus’s voice. Remus letting Harry touch his scars. Remus groaning in pain and pleasure after letting James massage him after fulls. 

How had he not realized before? Remus was his home.

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

[cruel-seduction]

It’s like a full-blown addiction, but instead of drugs or booze, it’s this fictional guy who’s got her wrapped around his finger. She knows it’s fucked up—knows she’s out here daydreaming about someone who’s not even real—but who cares? This guy? He’s everything. He’s charming in the worst ways, flawed in every possible sense, but there’s just something about him that has her hooked. He doesn’t even know she exists, but she’s ready to fight anyone who says a word against him. Seriously, she’ll defend his honor like it’s a fucking life-or-death mission.

He’s a goddamn trainwreck, but he’s her trainwreck. She’ll put up with all his baggage, his emotional scars, his dark sides, because somehow, that brokenness makes him feel more real to her than any real guy could. He’s messed up, but she’ll fix him in her head every single time. Maybe it’s that thrill of knowing he’s dangerous and untouchable that makes him even more irresistible. He might break her heart in a hundred ways, but it’s the kind of heartbreak that makes her feel alive, even if it hurts like hell.

And it’s never gonna happen, right? She knows that. He’s not gonna waltz into her life and sweep her off her feet. But it doesn’t matter. Because she gets to have him on her terms—no messy reality, no awkward first dates, no risking her heart for real. He’s always there when she needs him, in that perfect little bubble of fantasy she’s built for herself. And maybe she’s a little crazy for it, but at least with him, she’s never disappointed. Every time she replays his scenes, reads the fanfics, imagines their future together—it's like a high she can never quite shake. She knows it's all just a mindfuck, but she’s never felt more alive.

Remus woke up slowly, cocooned on the couch, light so gently filtered he questioned if it was still daytime. He was sleep warm, floating on the cushions like they were made of clouds that had been tied to the ground. Opening his eyes one at a time, he looked around.

He was inside a blanket fort. Again. 

A blanket fort that had not existed when he fell asleep for a midmorning nap. (Again.)

Remus let out a sound somewhere between a laugh and sigh, further twisted around a name. Even to Remus’ own tired ears it sounded like adoration.

“James.”
