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.

Summary
Remus is difficult - he knows that. He can't hold down a job, he doesn't like to let people get close, and he really sucks at living up to the person he'd hoped to be as a kid. When he's offered a job to smile for the camera and pretend to be in love, he thinks it might be the best thing he ever could've hoped for.
Except, he's working with Sirius Black. The icon of modern rock who is actually just a moody, unpredictable, hot mess. A really hot mess.

Summary
“A marketing manager from Wales, moved all the way to Maine, to work for a ski mountain, and you don’t even ski. Remus Lupin, you just keep becoming more and more mysterious. What other secrets do you have?”
There were two paths in front of Remus, one where he flirted back with the beautiful, handsome, dangerous man in front of him, and one where he remembered that Sirius was his co-worker, and more importantly, made his living doing the one thing Remus hated most in the world.
“You’ll find that beyond all that, I’m rather quite boring.” Remus said, as he settled on a decision.
Sirius sat back in his chair and gave him a doubtful look, and the start of a smirk. “We’ll see.”

Summary
“Did you ever clear up that confusion your family had about us dating?”
“Uh, I’m not sure, why?”
“Your aunt just asked me when I’m going to propose.”
Sirius and Remus have been friends most of their lives. Good friends. Best friends. Close friends.
So, is it any wonder that when Remus’ mother invites Sirius to celebrate her 60th birthday—as one of the members of Remus’ closest friend group, naturally—Remus’ family simply assumes they’re dating?
And apparently have been for… long enough for there to be an expectation of a proposal in the imminent future?

Summary
Remus wasn't supposed to stop in that dusty charity shop. He wasn't supposed to find him, framed in paint and old magic, smiling that half-smirk he thought he'd never see again.

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.
