Rating: NC-17 for pr0n and bits of violence

Summary: Remus Lupin is an undercover archaeologist for the British Museum and is sent to Greenland to investigate a Roman shipwreck. In Greenland he meets Sirius Black, makes a real discovery and soon enough the two of them are racing through the world in search of the remains of the Library of Alexandria with Remus’ arch-enemy right at their heels.
Author's Notes: This is not a non-magical AU, though there are many Muggle elements. Timeline tweaked; takes place sometime this side of 2000, also Harry and Teddy are around the same age. Other minor inconsistencies with canon occur.
This fic started out as crack. I brought it upon myself when I said to a friend “you know, if there exists a morph between Indiana Jones and Remus Lupin, then I want its babies. <.<”. The rest is history.
I apologise for all factual inaccuracies – I’ve done my best to keep it as correct as possible (blame Wikipedia for false information!), but I have also taken a few artistic liberties. Please don’t have my head for it; it was all done in the name of fic and puppies.
ALSO, many thanks to my wonderful and awesome beta, M, for pointing out faults and errors and not!English words as well as tearing this apart when necessary and for all her wonderful squeey and hilarious comments. A mention goes out to K as well for helping me with the Latin and some of the classical stuff and most importantly, britpicking.
