Home's the Farthest Way by ReeraTheRed is an excellent romance between Remus and Severus (Harry Potter), but it's not slash. The war is over. Voldemort has been defeated, and a cure for Lycanthropy has been discovered. It has been used with good results in America, but the Ministry of Magic wants Remus Lupin to be the first British werewolf to try the cure. As he is a war hero, decorated with an Order of Merlin, the Ministry believes his acceptance will encourage other werewolves to come forward and try the cure, as well. Unfortunately, Delores Umbridge seems to be in charge of the program, and this makes Remus and his friends nervous. Even with all of them watching, however, something goes wrong with the potion. Remus survives, but he has been transformed into a woman. The process cannot be reversed without also negating the cure, however, so Remus agrees to remain a woman. I really enjoyed the understated quality of this piece, as Remus adjusts to becoming female and her new, stronger feelings for Severus. There is danger, as well, as not all werewolves are happy about the cure. One pack leader, in particular, is dead set against it and threatens not only Remus' chances for employment, but her very life.

The Wicked Game trilogy by JayKay deals with the events of Prisoner of Azkaban and their aftermath in the lives of Severus and Remus. (Naturally! :-) ) Remus works hard to rebuild a relationship with Severus that had been destroyed by Sirius Black's prank back when they all went to school together. Unfortunately, Black's return makes all his work for naught, and Severus reveals his lycanthropy to the school at large, forcing Remus to leave the best job he's ever had. Remus decides to leave the Wizarding world, as well, and creates a life for himself in the Muggle world. Unfortunately, Death Eaters come looking for him to recruit him to Voldemort's side. His refusal results in the loss of his home and very nearly his life. Rescued by Severus (who had been looking for him), Remus finds himself in the Potion Master's home where he recuperates from the attack. I'm sure you can see where this is heading. ;-) Very nice series. The second in the trilogy is mainly told as a series of Owls between Remus and Severus while they are apart during the Harry's 4th year at Hogwarts. In the third, Sirius arrives on the scene once again, but Remus is determined that nothing and no one will come between him and Severus (his mate) again.

Oh, and if anyone else can recommend more Severus/Remus stories, I would much appreciate it. Thanks! (I'm always on the lookout for Duncan/Methos stories, too.)

Oh wow, while trolling through Harry Potter archives, I discovered a pairing that I just can't get enough of: Remus/Severus. The Potions Master and the Werewolf. *sigh* The two are just so well matched! Anyway, I found this cool series called Tea and Chocolate by Ashinae and Your Cruise Director. It all begins at Grimmauld Place after Sirius has fallen through the Veil and Molly Weasley coerces Severus into taking tea up to Remus, who has hardly left his room at all since the night Sirius fell. Both of them are surprised at how easy it is for them to share conversation, and Severus is shocked by how much he tells Remus. As the series progresses, so does their relationship. Severus learns what love is supposed to feel like and Remus finds a reason to live.
