What Works

Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Obelus
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~14,000
Pairing: Remus/Sirius; Regulus, Marauders
Prompt: "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." - from the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Summary: The lines dividing Sirius's life have always been clear—Gryffindors vs Slytherins, Death Eaters vs the Order, Sirius vs Blacks, Marauders vs Everyone Else. When Regulus comes to Sirius, the lines begin to blur, and even as his relationship with Remus deepens, he's never felt more alone.
Warning: off-screen canon character death, so if you read the character list, you know who bites it.

Notes: This story grew out of me wondering how Sirius and Remus could have been together during the war, but suspected each other of being the spy by the end. Written as part of Team Sirius for rs_games 2017. Many thanks to sopdetly for her encouragement, beta skills, and superior Quidditch knowledge.

Title: Gravid
Author: Em
Rating: R, for sexual suggestions and language
Word Count: ~2120
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Summary: Remus wants to be honest. Sirius just wants Remus.
Notes: I've always wondered how things could go from happy Remus/Sirius to each of them suspecting the other of being the spy. This was a possible take on that.
Many thanks to katilara for betaing. I had another beta on this fic in 2006, but I can't remember who did it! Thank you for your beta, whomever you are—your comments were very helpful.
