Motor City Jazz Art students in 70's Detroit, Remus is amazed when the hot guy in the photo department asks him out. Sirius and Remus head for the Weather Report concert, part of the '77 Detroit Jazz Festival
I think this might be my favorite piece of art in the games yet and there has been some fabulous pieces. What struck me the most is that it tells a clear story. It isn't just pretty, which it is, a gorgeous piece of art, but draws you in to the world the artist created here.

Vigil Strange I Kept Remus' lycanthropy has caused his body to seriously deteriorate over the years due to the constant stress of the transformations, and by his fifty-sixth birthday, it's certain that he won't live to finish out the year. However, a cure has recently been discovered - but what if the cure is just as bad as the disease?
This is a powerful story about the emotional and physical tax of dying on a body, the psyche, a relationship, and a family. This is told with such sensitivity and awareness for how the body slowly shuts down, and how that shutting down touches every aspect of a persons life. If that wasn't enough, the prose is outstanding, the characterization spot on, and the dialog believable and engaging. This is a must read.
Broken Chord No one he knows even likes jazz, so it's not a place any of them would likely frequent. And that, of course, is its main attraction. At first.
This is a lovely, short, sophisticated piece

The Arc of History No Summary Given
This piece is profound in its simplicity and speaks to any movement where a group of like-minded people fight against oppression.
And surprise! I have two more recs that are not from the Games! *gasp*
The first one comes from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
samhain_smut and is a pairing I didn't use too like very much is growing on me and that is James/Sirius/Remus. I think my initial dislike of the ship came from one or two stories where James and Sirius treat Remus horrible. This piece is definitely kink-positive, with Sirius and James giving Remus what he wants and needs, and doing so lovingly so that what they each get out of it, is what they wanted.
When Good Fellows Get Together by Anonymous Boys have needs. Who better to provide a healthy outlet than one's best mates?
My next rec is an older one that I actually ran across while perusingcrack_van. This is a lovely story about James and Sirius as friends that follows them from the beginning to the after life.
The Anatomy of a Bromance by Wilhelmina Willoughby "Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?" An inside look at one of the closest friendships the world will know.
