Summary
After a while, Sirius whispered, “I think, maybe, I would like to believe in something.” Or someone.
“Maybe that’s a good place to start.” Remus said.
When a prank goes wrong, popular but rebellious Sirius Black is threatened with expulsion. His punishment is mandatory participation in various after-school activities, such as tutoring younger students and performing in the drama club's spring musical.
At these functions he is forced to interact with quiet, bookish Remus Lupin, a boy he has known for many years but to whom he has rarely ever spoken.

Summary
Teddy Lupin is a fourteen-year-old cancer survivor with a passion for true crime. When the opportunity arises, he has one impossible-sounding request for Make-A-Wish: “I wish to meet Sirius Black.”
Sirius Black is thirty-three, freshly freed after twelve years wrongfully imprisoned, and still figuring out how to exist in a world that moved on without him. When his solicitor (and little brother) sends him the request, he agrees without knowing why.
Remus Lupin is a widower doing his best to raise his only son. When his carefully managed life is upended by a reckless, disaster former-prisoner, he is surprised by how much they share in common.
Or, a love story unfolds with granted wishes, true-crime podcasts, hospital stays, endless grief, and a lot of people trying their best to be okay.

Summary
Sirius Black is thirty, single, and desperately in love with his best friend.
In an effort to move on from his unrequited feelings and distract himself from his crushing loneliness, he signs up for an AI-powered matchmaking service that advertises a success rate greater than 90 percent. Privately, he hopes this desperate effort will provoke a last-minute love confession from his friend. When no such confession comes, he follows through with the matchmaker.
Still, as he sits in his appointment, answering increasingly invasive questions, his mind is stuck on one thing: Remus Lupin

Summary
"Leah is a wolf the first time she sees her.
Still, even now, it is easier to exist this way. Easier to simplify her thoughts and run and run and run and never feel tired. The other wolves, her pack, linger along the edges of her mind. Always, like ever-present deities. They have learned to give her an illusion of privacy. So she runs.
In the woods, and deeper than a human should be this time of year, Leah smells her, something foreign and new: lilac and honey and sweat."
Or, Leah gets the happy ending she deserves.

Summary
Yes, Hermione Granger has wanted Ron Weasley for as long as she could remember. But, perhaps, never more so than tonight: three nights after their long-awaited reunion and first kiss.
Three nights spent together in her quiet room in the shared tent.
Three nights of proprietary and gentlemanly behavior and nothing more than a bit of kissing and cuddles.
Tonight, Hermione is going mad.
A kind-of epilogue, or, the start of something new.

Summary
Sirius Black escaped Azkaban after 12 years of false imprisonment. All that time, Remus Lupin has technically been a free man. And yet, he's been stuck in a prison of his own: guilt, regret, endless grief.
The day they meet again is the day the first crack of thaw appears. In true Sirius dramatics, he flees the country immediately after.
A few days later, a loud, large, brightly coloured bird appears at Remus' window, carrying a letter...
Or: answering the age-old question of what on earth Professor Lupin got up to during Goblet of Fire. A story of two damaged men hesitantly finding their way back to each other, of love against the odds.

Summary
Remus Lupin knows better than to touch Sirius Black—but watching? That’s harder to resist.
Ten years. One silk-robed neighbour. More windows than sense.
After his divorce and belated coming out, Remus collects firsts, lasts, and everything messy in-between. Friends joke that his love life spins like the revolving doors at the Ritz, but one desire stays constant: Sirius—his tattooed neighbour who refuses most clothing, lives in silk robes, and somehow keeps getting finer (and more risqué) with time.
And for over a decade, their flirtation has smouldered—sometimes scorching other relationships in its wake—while Remus holds himself back. After all, he was the one who first shut the metaphorical door in Sirius’s face. For ten years, he’s believed all that's left are stolen, shame-filled, yearning glances of Sirius, taken in through windows and from a distance. But Sirius knows most doors don’t stay closed—and exactly how to coax one, make it beg to open.
This is the story of Remus’s forty-third birthday. Of the years after a marriage ends and a life begins in the middle of things: of queer joy growing like blue irises, of fatherhood, of desire, and of learning to forgive oneself for old punishments.
