[Rec] Remus/Harry Novel-length
Remus Re-erected by sheepybunbuns [Completed Chaptered. Remus/Harry and references to past Sirius/Remus. R]
Summary: Just before Harry begins his 6th year at Hogwarts, Remus unintentionally gets involved in a wind-up designed to make Dudley jealous, and this results in an unexpected intimacy between Harry and Remus. As Remus tries to present the same face to the outside world that he has always shown, whilst having an illicit relationship, he finally learns what’s important in life and what his priorities really are.
Warning: Cross-dressing. Het references. Student/Teacher relationship.
Quote: He had hated keeping secrets, although he had had a lot of practise what with being a werewolf. Some would say that being a werewolf was just an excuse, and that the only reason he had a lot of practise was due to his cowardice, to which Remus would have to ashamedly agree. But it was the fact that he was keeping a secret from Sirius that had really bothered him. Sirius liked honesty. It came so naturally to him, too naturally even; Remus often believed that Sirius's biggest enemy was his own mouth. But in Remus' life, sometimes keeping things quiet seemed to become a necessity--whether just through hiding of facts, or through blatant lying if the occasion warranted it--and the truth was no longer an option.
Remus is wonderfully fleshed out here. He's alive in this fic - he's the common man, who does make mistakes, and does suffer and fear, but will always always strive to overcome it all, to repent and to save, and all in the most utterly human way. Witty and tender and just over all brilliantly composed.
NC-17 out-takes can also be found here.
