but there is hardly a Remus fic out there these days which does not refer to Remus' tragic relationship with Sirius.
With the exception of the couple of Remus/Sirius stories I've written, my Remus never has a relationship, tragic or otherwise with Sirius, even in backstory. I think it's a small militant rebellion on my part against so many people setting Remus/Sirius as a default pairing, which I don't agree with. LOL
I never saw them as a couple in PoA even though I was reading and writing slash in another fandom at the time, and I don't think Remus reads as gay. I'm puzzled by the "Remus is Teh Gay in canon" idea, too; I've always read him as a quiet man who craves companionship but is an outsider due to his curse, developing protective walls between himself and the rest of the world out of necessity. Which, yes, could be symbolic of homosexuality, but it doesn't mean he's actually gay. And that's coming from someone who loves slashing him with at least four different men on a regular basis, but I figure that's what fandom is for. *G*
