    Summary

    “Well,” Remus says quietly, “you don’t let people know you."

    “And you’re saying you know me?” Sirius drawls, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the only one?”

    The half-arsed derision in his tone doesn’t seem to surprise or intimidate Remus. He only smiles, knowing.

    It is one thing to love a person; it is quite another to see them as they truly are and to love them all the same. And sometimes, Sirius thinks, he’d rather die than let anybody see beneath the defensive facade of his brave face.

    From 1971 to 1978, the Hogwarts years of obsession, betrayal, recklessness, lies, too much drink, insecurity, and all eclipsing sexual frustration. Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense. Seven years for Sirius to finally admit to himself that what he wants is not only to be loved, but to be known entirely. And therein lies the difficulty.

    Summary

    It’s a Friday afternoon. On Fridays, Sirius goes to the pub with his friend James. James sometimes brings his wife along, and sometimes just countless pictures of his son. Sirius sees the kid at least twice a week but still he looks at each photo as if it were a great treasure.

    Remus goes in fifteen minutes after them, sometimes half an hour. Sometimes he doesn’t go in at all and sits in his car instead, waiting for the bartender to call last orders. Twice he felt brave and sent a drink to Sirius’ table, but left before it was delivered. Both times the bartender told him the same: this is a pub, mate. You want to talk to him, go talk to him, I ain’t doing table service.

    Summary

    Barty doesn’t think anything of it at first. Dorcas always tells him how obsessive, possessive, and impulsive he is, and though she never means it as a compliment, Barty always takes it as one. It’s just the way he is.

    So Barty doesn’t think anything of it when he impulsively climbs into Evan’s bed, possessively wraps an arm around him, and obsessively asks, “You love me, right?”

    Summary

    Romeo’s stand-in looks as if he could ruin Sirius life and thoroughly enjoy it.

    But then, just as quickly as he came, the boy in a Barbie t-shirt and million-dollar jewels, Remus is off again.

    Featuring a stolen-not-stolen bike, lots of diamonds, a birthday tea and a conveniently-broken arm.

    -

    Or the one where Remus can quote Shakespeare by heart and has a passion for strawberry cream lollypops
