I don't know about you, but I find there aren't nearly enough fics written about Remus/Severus during the First War, particularly set after they leave school but before Voldemort is vanquished. Here are a couple of my favourites:

First War

The Ill-Made Knight by orange_crushed
PG13
Remus takes the Dark Mark to save his friends, not knowing Severus is also a spy.  AU.  There is also Remus/Sirius in this fic.  The themes of distrust and betrayal are strong in this fic, and characterisations are spot-on.

Imperfect by anneline
NC17
In the autumn of 1981, Remus and Severus reconnect.  It's not perfect, but somehow it's right.  I'll issue an angst warning upfront; fics about Remus and Severus set in this time period are rarely happy.  This fic deals beautifully with their sexual relationship as well as the emotions they never meant to get involved.  We get to see Severus' half-Muggle heritage come through strongly here.


After the Second War

Reflections and Hope - by stoicstella
WC: 3779
PG13
After the war, Severus remembers his childhood and looks into the future. Remus looks at his lover and sees hope.

The Quiet Man by nopejr
Very short, post-OotP
Severus sees Remus differently than most.
