    Summary

    Remus Lupin's first assignment at The Prophet, seemed easy enough: investigate the Labour Party's rising star, Health Secretary Sirius Black's somewhat controversial NHS bill.

    This was until the devastatingly charming politician turns out to be genuine, complicated, and literally the most attractive person Remus had ever lied eyes on. He was genuinely impossible not to fall for, even in spite of his posh Etonian background, which is an automatic dealbreaker for Remus.

    All is going well for Remus, in fact better than it's ever been, until he uncovers documents that could destroy Sirius's career. Forcing him to choose between the story and the man he loves, only to discover the real question is whether they can save each other when the system is designed to break them both.

    Summary

    Remus is tantalizing in all the colourful seasons, Siruis thinks, but wintertime has always been his favorite. It tears through him like fire on oil, ripping across him and all these marvelous years between.

    Or: a weightless holiday to the countryside, late night card games, fermented pear cider and something half written finally matches up.

    Summary

    Complete <3

    "The need to protect Regulus from harm, from anything that would threaten him, has become a near obsession. James knows that he has a habit of single mindedness, latching on to things so tightly that they consume him. Of all of his unruly fixations, his protectiveness of Regulus has proven to be the worst."

    Trilogy of Marauders era/Hogwarts AU + after school (1975-1982), focused fully on James and Regulus POVs. Canon-divergent (adjacent if you squint), but the path to defeating Voldemort lies not in the prophecy but in Regulus' hands.

    Book 1 (1975): Chapters 1-32
    Book 2 (1976-1977): Chapters 33-72
    Book 3 (1978-1980 + epilogues 1982): Chapters 73-92

    Choices inspired - but I only write happy Jegulus endings, do with that what you will.
