Summary
A collection of paper tumbled out of the record sleeve and onto the coffee table. Parchment of varying quality, scraps torn from lined notebooks; some folded into pocket-sized squares, others rolled into tight scrolls. Remus’s hands shook as he sifted through them.
—
In 1987, Remus finds the letters Sirius never sent to him, and loses what little hope he had of moving on.

Summary
Sirius Black flees his wedding, still in his tuxedo, minutes before walking down the aisle. He doesn't think. He just drives. Until he sees a hitchhiker limping down the road with frayed bell bottom blue jeans, a graffitied wooden cane, and a sarcastic goddam mouth. He's heading west to seek his fortune in California and needs a ride. Sirius has a car and lots to run from. When you ain't got nothin, you got nothin to lose.

Summary
“I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
***
After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Summary
All James wants is to get back at Lily, his on-again-off-again girlfriend. Maybe his best friend’s brother and his sworn enemy isn’t the right choice for that.
All Regulus wants is to win his family home from Narcissa in a battle of inheritance. James Potter is the key to doing that. So what if he uses James? Regulus is being used as well.
A dare, a debt, a family feud, and a few fistfights later, someone falls in love. Everything falls apart.
Still, it turns out the love they seek can be found in the strangest of places.
“You're doing what wrong?”
“…Life. Is this how it should be, blacking out every weekend, sleeping around recklessly? Coasting by from one numbing minute to the next?”
Smoke spilled from Barty’s mouth, and he looked over at Regulus, his eyes unreadable. “People like us don’t have the privilege of doing it another way, do we?”
Regulus paused at that. “Who are people like us?” he asked, his voice faint.
“Damaged, fucked up people. We didn’t grow up normal. We don’t get to be normal now.”

Summary
Non-magic AU. Sirius had always imagined the aftermath of falling in love would mean lightness, and an escape from all the horrors of his childhood. But the past never leaves, and even love can't stop bad memories from resurfacing.
An almost year in the life of Sirius and Remus's first year as a couple replete with art and tangled sheets, and containing the following: filled sketchbook pages from people lost and people found, terrible biscuits from an excellent therapist, mismatched music records, expensive hot chocolate, a lost brother, photographs (some invasive and some invoking terrible memories), a reckoning with the past, a promise of the future, and yet another ridiculously over the top Halloween party.

Remus Lupin is fine. Sure, his teenage crush just washed up on the rocks of his lighthouse looking just as pretty as he did seven years ago, but he's fine. Absolutely fucking fine.

Summary
When he's seven years old, Sirius Black has a brief encounter with a strange boy in the woods, who, in their short exchange, teaches him an important lesson about the nature of the Universe, only to then disappear without a trace.
Nine years later, Sirius, along with his two best friends, is a student away at boarding school, with a brand new transfer student as his roommmate--a foul-mouthed, astronomy nerd named Remus Lupin.
Between school, hormones, relationships, and the fact that he is keeping a (magical) secret away from everyone--Sirius' year starts to go a little off the rails.
Not to mention, there's something familiar about that Remus Lupin kid that he just can't seem to shake...

Summary
The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

Summary
Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.
James does not know him.
Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.
The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.
“No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”
Are you?
James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.
“Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

Summary
Father Remus Lupin usually thinks of himself as a good person; he runs a youth group, takes shifts in the confessional every Sunday, and sticks to all of his vows (yes, even the one of celibacy). But he begins to think he's being punished when Sirius Black starts showing up in his confessional booth every week, describing in painstaking detail all the very, very sinful thoughts he's been having.

Summary
It would be a terrible idea - Remus has too much going on to consider another reckless and irresponsible relationship that could crash and burn as spectacularly as the last. No matter how handsome the motorcycle riding attorney might be, Remus has a career, a kid, an ex-girlfriend who won’t let him move on, and a closet full of skeletons he doesn’t want to share. But a spilt coffee and a delayed flight begins a series of turbulent events that reshape Remus’s life in a way he never expected.

Summary
"His eyes lock with a familiar whiskey brown, a kind that he hasn’t seen in over a decade.
It’s a strange, disorienting sensation, this clash of familiarity and unfamiliarity. He can still see traces of the man he loved, but so much has changed, and Sirius can’t shake the feeling that the man standing before him is a stranger in so many ways. A stranger wearing the face of someone he once knew better than anyone else."
OR
It's been twelve years since Sirius broke Remus' heart and the other man ran across the world to New York. So it's safe to say, that when Remus comes back to London after all of those years of no contact, Sirius' head spins. After a battle with addiction and years of therapy, Sirius is determined to show Remus how much he's changed. Because he still loves him after all, that never changed. However, things aren't always that easy... are they? There are more than a few spanners thrown in the works.
A story first and foremost about Sirius Blacks recovery journey.

Summary
There's something blazingly incongruous about Remus in the wintertime. He's golden: sunshine and honeybees, caramel curls and freckles like dappled sunlight. Even his clothes seem borrowed, and temporary, as if he might've just thrown on an extra layer for a moment in the knowledge that his own innate aestival nature would be quite enough to stave off the worst of the chill. Something at home in long balmy nights, and mornings when the gardens teem with life and song. Wonderfully out of place in the winter: a happy visitor to the season, an ember in the frost.
Christmastime in the Cotswolds: cold hands, crackling fires, and Remus's indefatigable quest for parsnips.
