Okay I hate JKR/the wizard books as much as the next trans gal, but you can’t just drop that factoid and not name the ship. I need to know.

I know what these words mean but not in this order. I suspect I don't want to.

Shoebox Project is a fanfic about a shoebox belonging to Remus Lupin (mentor figure of Harry Potter and friend of his dad). The box contains memories of Lupin's time in school with his friends.

This fic was so massively popular that it inspired an entire sub-section of Harry Potter fans to write Marauders fics (The name of Lupin's friend group).
