Station 81

first chapter - Station 81 is loud, messy, and constantly on fire — sometimes literally.Remus Lupin has seen his fair share of chaos as a firefighter, but nothing prepares him for Sirius Black walking back into his life and straight into his squad. Between high-stakes rescues, long nights, and the weight of everything unspoken between them, Remus tries to keep his head down and his heart locked tight.But when the newest recruit keeps pulling him into danger — and back into old feelings — things start to get complicated.The firehouse is family. Some fires burn slow.And some never really went out at all.

Frank as BobbyThis is actually genius. Both are steady, a little haunted, and natural leaders. Frank’s calm, collected vibe fits Bobby’s “dad of the team” energy perfectly. You could really lean into Frank’s past — maybe some kind of tragic loss like Bobby’s where frank loses his friends in the war AKA gideon and FabianAlice as AthenaSharp strong, doesn’t take anyone’s shit — Alice makes a perfect Athena. She’s the one who always steps in when things get messy, both professionally and emotionally. Also, I feel like she and Frank could have that same respectful, complex dynamic that Bobby and Athena do.Remus as BuckRemus as the one with the messy past, trying so hard to prove himself, always giving 110%, but emotionally kinda all over the place? Checks out. Also, Buck's “why am I always the one who stays” angst? HELLO, textbook Remus.Sirius as EddieSirius is chaotic but protective to his core — if you give him something (or someone) to ground him, like Eddie has with Christopher, it makes total sense. Maybe Sirius has custody of RegulusJames as ChimJames as the heart of the team. Chim is goofy and kind but so smart and capable — that’s James all over. He’s the one cracking jokes but also saving lives like a boss.Lily as MaddieLily’s strength and compassion suit Maddie so well. Her journey from trauma to healing could mirror something in Lily’s past (a bad past relationship with a certian snape?). I could totally see her as a dispatcher with a medical background.Marlene as HenHen is calm, wise, and doesn’t let anyone get away with nonsense — but also just so full of love. That’s Marlene. She’s the one keeping the team grounded, and I can totally see her as a medic with a strong moral compass.Dorcas as KarenDorcas as the badass, brilliant one with quiet strength. Karen holds it down at home and handles everything — sounds like Dorcas to me.
