Texting Fics!
They are always the perfect fast-paced read! I am going to list some texting fics that I can think of here. I am also going to put some that I remembered had some texting, but may not be a 'text fic'. Please add more if you think of them!
Text Talk: Sirius is in boarding school, Remus is in hospital, and they don't know each other until Sirius texts the wrong number.
Of Leaves and Stars: Almost a year out of Hogwarts, Lily finally manages to convince Sirius and James to get more acquainted with muggle technology and buy phones. Sirius, of course, texts the wrong number.
The PB to my J: A Modern AU Marauders texting with prose fic set at University. Mainly Wolfstar - Will they? Won’t they? (They obviously will...) And a little bit of Jily too.
Note to Self: modern muggle texting au (with a fair bit of prose!) in which james and sirius are roommates, peter and remus were randomly assigned, and the gang gets into all sorts of trouble and chaos in all the ways they know how. mainly wolfstar but of course jily, dorlene, and maybe some others are included!
The Art of Falling in Love: Sirius is a loose cannon who can’t seem to tame himself or actually let people in. Moony is his texting pen pal who he’s never met and is slowly falling for. Remus is slow to trust and scared to be open with anyone except for his mystery pen pal Padfoot.
Kinda Catfished: Moony and Padfoot become friends via text... Or do they? Depends which boy you ask. Remus thinks he finally made a friend. Sirius thinks he has the perfect prank planned. Both are wrong.
Aging Gracelessly: Remus is being dragged into the modern century by his son in the form of a brand-new smartphone. He means to text Teddy, and ends up accidentally meeting, and sharing his plight with another person in the same boat as him. Though Remus thinks it's just a passing moment, little does he know what wheels have been set in motion.
Did You Miss Me?: Though the new boy at Hogwarts University, James Potter, appears to be an adorable himbo with deep pockets, Remus Lupin and his friends instead find a horrifically dark past on Google. Did he really attack that boy and leave him for dead? Why won't he talk about his mysterious childhood best friend, "Pups"? Would it kill him to stop messing with his hair? At least Remus got his phone back after losing it, but now he can't stop texting the mysterious number of the man who had sent it back. Padfoot is funny and charming, and Remus is NOT going to fall in love with him.
Siriusly? The Moon?!: When a certain YouTuber has it siriusly bad for an anonymous literary analysis creator, he struggles with his real life relationships, as well as those he's formed online. Will he be able to find the balance between the two? Or will he have to throw one away to maintain the other?
oat milk latte: Less text fic, more has texting. Remus Lupin and Sirius Black broke up before going to college in different states. When Remus moves back to his hometown eight years later, he runs into Sirius and realizes that, maybe, time and distance haven’t ruined things forever.
Just Looking: Just has texting. Sirius and baby Harry take the same walk every day, and every day, Sirius looks out for the pretty man with the soft-looking jumpers in the coffee shop window. He’s just looking. Nothing more. Until one day, when Harry leaves Sirius no choice but to go inside.
Swipe Left for Safety: His finger hesitated over a picture of someone who absolutely couldn’t be real. He had long, dark hair that fell well past his shoulders and grey eyes that Remus thought must have been either contact lenses or photoshopped. High cheekbones and sinful lips the man looked like a model. Remus was not about to get catfished by a picture that was probably of someone famous that he just didn’t recognize. Besides, what kind of a name was Sirius anyway? It was obviously fake. He swiped left. Not today, Satan. “Hard pass on that guy, huh?” Someone said from above Remus. “Ouch.”
Strawberry Moons Over Godricia: More fic with texting than text fic. Remus is jobless, homeless, and wallowing in self pity—thank you for asking. He finds himself unexpectedly rebuilding his life as the new English teacher in the picturesque yet peculiar country of Godricia. And this could all work just fine. But when his roof literally falls in, his past starts to catch up with him, and he uncovers the unsettling reason for his hiring, one mistake proves harder to avoid amidst all that chaos—Sirius Black, the headmaster’s charming but volatile older brother. With everything on the line, can Remus really risk getting close to this walking red flag of a man?
Engrams and Moonwalks: Modern Muggle AU taking place in the imaginary Southern California city of Hogsmeade. The Black family are devout Scientologists, and Sirius has been disconnected from them for years. His religious trauma resurfaces when he finds a surprise from his brother, Regulus left on his front step. Remus is a grad student studying to be a school psychologist. His mother is ill and his family is struggling financially. He decides to sign up to walk dogs at night for extra income. His first client is a male model living in the upscale neighborhood of Godric's Hollow. And neither of them can deny their attraction.
Horace Slughorn is a homophobe: the marauders but they don't die and no one betrays anyone. modern setting
A Wolf, A Bear, A Dungeon Master, and Boy Wonder: More a fic with texting. Remus's son Teddy has joined a DnD campaign, and thinks his DM, Sirius Black, is very cool. Remus's student Harry has a godfather, Pads, who is also very cool. These two facts have nothing to do with each other, right?
These are not text fics, but feel so email centric I wanted to add them:
Email my Heart: When Sirius Black accidentally sends his philosophy paper to Remus Lupin they do what only Remus Lupin would do. They return it, with comments. Told mostly through their exchanged emails, watch Sirius Black and Remus Lupin fall in love. Every lifetime means every lifetime.
You've Got Love: Remus connects with an enigmatic stranger online, runs an amazing bookstore, and has his life flipped upside down when a Potter Brothers Books megastore opens up just a few blocks away. To makes things even worse the owner of the megastore is charming, funny, and hot as hell. Based on the movie You've Got Mail.
The Lottery: Sirius Black thinks he’s won the lottery, enabling him to quit his tedious job and finally escape his torturous boss. The key word here being “thinks.”
That's all for now! Feel free to recommend more in the comments! I want to read more!!!!
