Summary
Remus Lupin is indignant when he’s forced into writing a saint biography with the son of his church’s pastor. What he doesn’t expect from the bizarre request is to fall so deeply into Sirius Black in the span of three short months. But he does, and the consequences are dire. How far will one man go to assure that his son doesn’t end up in the hands of Remus?_________"Across the recreational room, Remus locked eyes with a boy whose black hair, curled right around his hair and flopped over his forehead every time his feet swayed. The boy winked, his lip curving into a smirk, as he slyly shook hands with a departing parish member, keeping his eye contact with Remus.Pastor Orion’s hand slowly crept up the boy’s back, whispering something in the boy’s ear, forcing him to look away. But Remus never tore his eyes, wondering how the boy’s eyes could illuminate like they were hung in the moonlight.For some strange reason, after that Sunday, Remus hated the moon."
Note
Another fic dedicated to LJ, my favorite Remus Lupin variant. The title of this work and every chapter is from the song: Take Me To Church by Hozier!! As always, content warnings are listed below, value yourself before fanfiction. I appreciate all comments and kudos!! <3CWs for underage drinking and smoking, internalized homophobia, and mentions of vomiting
