Hey! I love your blog :) I just wanted to ask if you know any relatively long Wolfstar fics on Ao3 that are more or less completely AU or Non-Magic AU? There probably a lot lmao, so I’m just wondering what your favourites are if it’s not too much of a problem?? Thank you :)
Sure! :) Here are some of my favorites for you!
Aduantas by GoodFrith
A fallen star might be everything Remus needs to turn his entire life around but tracking it down might mean biting off more than he can chew.
Retrial by phoenixgal
Remus Lupin, host of the popular podcast Retrial, decides to focus on the case of Sirius Black, a man convicted of murdering his high school best friend, for his upcoming season. Remus has gotten too close to his subjects in the past, so he promises himself that won’t happen this time.
A Cure For Nightmares by picascribit

Stalking Sirius by remuslives23
Reluctant paparazzo, Remus Lupin, manipulates his way into rock star, Sirius Black’s, life, hoping for a scoop that will kick start his flagging career. Instead, he finds himself torn between his growing feelings for Sirius, and the article of a lifetime.
Long Live Living (If Living Can Be This) by excaliburned

Time is a Fine Invention by bluepeony
Sirius Black expected university to be simple; a medley of moonlight trysts and Good Times. What he didn’t expect was the yearning for home, the strains on his friendships, or falling for the hot-tempered History student Remus Lupin.

DESPERADO, by fluorescentgrey
Rating: Explicit Word Count: 75,561 Type: Non-Magic!AU, Western!AU
Summary: West Texas, 1861. “I’m unsure when we elected to hand the reigns of this operation over to a hophead felon and a bottom-tier bounty hunter.”
Warnings: Drug use/addiction, character death, graphic depictions of violence
Comments: Where did this glorious, epic fic come from?? I’m not usually one for Western AUs, but this author avoids the tacky romanticization of the West and instead grounds the fic in gritty realism. There’s no shying away from the drugs and violence that outlaw!remus and bounty hunter!sirius experience. Canon elements were so brilliantly mirrored with Riddle’s smuggling operation (Bellatrix was a favorite) and the suspicion surrounding a spy in their group. There’s also a certain satisfaction I get from reading a fic so well researched. I was so enveloped in this world from start to finish; I definitely think this fic needs more love.

green tea: well thought-out skincare routine, early mornings, self-care books, the sound of rain hitting your balcony window, blunt to a fault, taking frequent trips to the small cabin your grandparents used to live in located in the heart of a forest, hand-made flower meanings journal, the scent of sandalwood, mismatched socks, low-key superiority complex.
earl grey tea: london architecture, wet pavements glinting in the golden afternoon sun, old books, wearing your hair up in a bun, the scent of milk, dainty wrists, avoiding your problems, cardigans, vintage hand watches, local bands playing covers at the underground bar of your apartment building, unnecessary snark, the red string of fate.

hibiscus tea: red converse, long summer days, 80s music blasting from a travel van, matching friendship bracelets, the sound of the ocean at dawn, lolipops, throwing darts at a map, easily riled-up, rose-tinted glasses, sticking your tongue out at strangers in the car, the scent of citrus trees, the italian riviera.
chamomile tea: platonic soulmates, having deep conversations with your grandparents, coloured crayons, liberal arts, keeping quiet despite having a lot to say, tired eyes, warm hands, a bit sad inside, playing the ukulele, big extended family, feeling homesick after one night away from your loved ones.

you: snape had the most tragic death
me, an intellectual: fred weasley had his whole life ahead of him. hedwig was the lost of harry's innocence and childhood, and dobby was a free slave that was murdered by those who thought they were above him. sirius black spent 12 years in prison for a crime he didnt commit, and yet still blamed himself for the deaths of his best friends, and then died after living his time in freedom in a house he hated, barely seeing the one person he loved more than anything in the world. remus and tonks had finally found happiness, and were going to have a child and won't live to see that child grow up. the creevey brothers were underage and shouldnt have been fighting in such a terrible war to begin with but they did anyway. cedric diggory was not meant to be in a war, but he was the bravest of them all, he was kind and good, and he was thrown aside like he was nothing, but spent his last moment standing beside harry potter, ready to face an unknown enemy.

Brian wanting to paint something awesome for noah and asking jude for help because let’s be honest the boy can’t even draw a straight line. And Jude gets so excited !!!! She gathers pamphlets and art books and tries to teach him a billion techniques he can’t even begin to comprehend and he’s just! so! lost! He spends a week working on 5 different sketches and “ohmygod jude they’re terrible, i’m terrible, i don’t know how you two do it, i should have sticked to sports. Do you think he’d like a signed ball??? Or maybe a telescope??” Oscar just laughs because god damn of course picasso would fall in love with a guy who can’t tell the difference between the color yellow and the color mustard. In the end, he ends up giving Noah a simple pencil drawing of him and noah star gazing with smudges all over bc he’s left handed and the struggle is real. he writes a tiny ‘i love you’ in the corner of the paper with a smiley face bc he’s a fucking dork like that and he’s so embarrased when he gives it to Noah like srsly he can’t even look at him. But even though it’s kinda terrible and it looks like it was done by a 9-year-old in sweetwine standards, Noah absolutely loves it. And late at night he stares at it and tries to hold back tears because jesus he has spent so much of his time drawing and painting the world and the people around him and no one besides his sister had ever taken the time to draw something JUST FOR HIM. and of course he spends the rest of the week grinning ,feeling like he’s walking on clouds and god he’s honestly considering having it framed????? and he’s so so glad he isn’t a horse because he loves that rock-collecting baseball-playing boy so damn much and he doesn’t know where he would be without him.
give me a judge who doesn't even think twice about convicting a rapist,
give me presidents all over the world who'll give immigrants and the lgbt community the rights they deserve,
give me teachers who understand how learning really works and how pressure never helped anyone,
give me parents who think that depression or any other mental disorder is just 'a phase',
give me men and women and transgender generals who believe that everyone is equally strong and brave no matter their gender
Im just really excited at how our generation of idealistic dreamers and just open minded humans who love each other is gonna change the world ❤
