Lucius/Remus is one of my guilty pleasures. When it’s done right, it can be a really good read. I like my Remus with some inner darkness, and that can play really well against a character like Lucius. I see Lucius as the eternal gentleman, smooth and suave and sleek. But there’s a touch of oil there, too. They both have a darkness, Lucius’ more refined and Remus’ more wild. The idea of Dark Side!Remus has always appealed to me, and Lucius works very well as a catalyst for that. Plus I like dark, angry pairings sometimes, and that fits well.
