Countdown to small gifts 3/6: Classic fics and art

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

What are some classic R/S fics or classic R/S art for you? Fanworks that influenced you when you first discovered the pairing? Fanworks that helped form your image of the characters? Or fanworks that you return to frequently?

I feel like I've hardly scratched the surface of fanwork in a lot of ways (I've still got so much I have to read!), but the first R/S fanfic I ever read was lovers alone wear sunlight (http://archiveofourown.org/works/231328) by musesfool, and I love it to bits. When I was first peeking around the fandom early this year, I found, like, five reclists and couldn't decide what to choose, so I picked randomly and struck gold!

I love the characterizations and the banter, not to mention the delightful AU it's set in (no one dies! Remus keeps his teaching job!); I've got a huuuuuge soft spot for these two as older adults, and this fic definitely pushed me head-over-heels. :-)
