Wolfstardora is the poly ship between Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks from the Harry Potter fandom.
Canon[]
Sirius and Tonks are cousins, both members of the longstanding pureblood Black family. Sirius is fourteen years older than Tonks. Sirius left the Black family to live with the Potters when he was only sixteen, and Tonks' own mother had also left the Black family behind by marrying a muggleborn against their wishes. Because of this, it is unlikely that Sirius and Tonks shared any childhood memories with each other.
Remus was Sirius' schoolmate, the same age as him and sharing the Gryffindor dormitory with him and the rest of the Marauders. After their graduation from Hogwarts, Remus and Sirius joined the Order of the Phoenix alongside their friends from school. During this time, James Potter and his wife, Lily, were targeted by Voldemort and eventually murdered. Sirius was framed for the crime, and spent the next twelve years in Azkaban Prison.
Upon his release, he reunited with Remus and once again joined forces with the Order of the Phoenix. As a fugitive from the law, Sirius was forced to hide out in 12 Grimmauld Place. This become the headquarters for the Order, and was populated by people like Remus, Tonks, and Harry Potter during the summer of 1995. Despite spending twelve years in prison, Tonks claimed that Sirius was still very good looking. This comment seemed to upset Remus, who assumed that Tonks had feelings for Sirius. Instead, she snapped back at him that he knew who she truly had feelings for: at some point during their time in the Order, Tonks had fallen in love with Remus.
All three participate in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Tonks is engaged in battle with Bellatrix Lestrange, but is disarmed by her. This leaves Bellatrix open to eventually kill Sirius. Remus takes the death incredibly hard, and Tonks seems to carry her own sense of guilt about her involvement (or lack thereof) in the situation.
When Harry meets Tonks again in September of 1996, a few months after the battle, he notes that she seems to have lost her usual cheerfulness. He and his friends decide that she is likely so upset because of the death of Sirius, not knowing that her failed romance with Remus is truly the main factors. Harry even begins to suspect that Tonks might have been in love with Sirius after he sees her newly changed patronus. Although it has taken on the form of a wolf, for Remus' lycanthropy, Harry mistakes it for Sirius' animagus form.
Remus and Tonks are eventually married in 1997, and welcome a baby boy in 1998. Unfortunately, they are both killed during the Battle of Hogwarts. Sirius and Remus reunite one last time in the after life as they help Harry face Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest.
Fanon[]
Wolfstardora is a rarepair in the Harry Potter fandom. Although there is certainly precedent for the ship in the books, most notably in Harry's confusion about Tonks' feelings in The Half-Blood Prince, most fans choose to look past that as simply Harry being dense. The Wolfstar and Remadora communities can be contentious at times, and have been known to get into ship wars. As such, there might be more of a reluctance to come together and ship this poly ship.
Fans of Wolfstardora are often trying to find a way to marry their fanon pairing with the canon. By creating a poly relationship that involves Remus with both Sirius and Tonks, they can find a happy medium. Wolfstardora works typically focus on Remus in romantic relationships with the other two, with Sirius and Tonks tending to be just friends rather than in a triad pairing.
There are currently over 80 works for this ship on AO3.
