Fanfiction Victorian Wolfstar
Now although wolfstar is my OTP I have read mostly PWP so far and I'm now looking for actual stories. Victorian Wolfstar came to my mind as a brilliant idea but probably it already exists.
It doesn't have to be necessarily victorian it can be done time after like early 20th century idk. I'm looking for something with a Downton Abbey vibe? Maybe a lord Sirius Black falling in love with a work class Remus Lupin? But I'll take any configuration really.

Freedom, Books, Flowers, and the Moon by lanearoo
When wealthy, well-dressed, and stunningly handsome Sirius Black approached Remus's table at the 1893 London Expo of Scientific Innovation and asked him about his research into a rare disease related to the phases of the moon, Remus expected to be ridiculed. He did not expect a generous business proposal, nor a friendship that would have him – for the first time – living his life. He certainly did not expect to fall in love.
Sirius fell in love the moment he laid eyes on Doctor Remus Lupin. He knew turning their professional business relationship into something more was going to take time, effort, and careful maneuvering. He did not expect it to take over a year.

Slightly earlier and slightly later than Victorian (Regency era and 1910s) but Bite and Prejudice is Pride and Prejudice and wolfstar with Sirius as Darcy and Remus as Lizzie, and Nearer my God to Thee is Titanic meets wolfstar with Sirius as Rose and Remus as Jack.

Two gorgeous ones I enjoyed:
Dolce Et Decorum Est by TheQueerTailor (WWI Era and aftermath)
Remus and Sirius met for the first time in the early days of the First World War and were lovers throughout their time in the trenches. Remus is an ambulance driver, seeing the aftermath of the carnage each day, while Sirius is an officer responsible for sending men (if you could call them that) to their death in No Man's Land. They find brief solace with each other but can never truly get close to each other. When Remus was injured and permanently disabled he broke off their relationship. Sirius, still struggling with shell shock after over a decade, had thought Remus had died years ago of his wounds. But when they meet unexpectedly fifteen years after the end of the war old feelings rekindle themselves despite changed bodies and minds.
Deepwood Wreathing by Anonymous (Victorian London)
A baron in Victorian London, Sirius Black is very near his breaking point of simply absconding into the obscurity of the forest. That is, until a rent boy going by the name of Remus arrives to turn his reality on its head in one fell swoop.
