Summary
Sirius and Remus are very much in love and very much a couple - they just haven't realised it yet.
Essentially a whole lot of Christmas fluff with just the teeniest, tiniest sprinkle of angst (like squint and you'll miss it angst) added in. Happy Endings all round!
12 chapters ready to go - one a day to take us up to Christmas :)

Summary
Sirius plays the game. Even though he makes it all the way to New York City, still he works for his father's company, still he capitulates to his parents' every stupid demand, he thinks: when Regulus, his brother ten years his junior, is old enough and can make his own choices, Sirius can leave all this shit behind. Every day feels like a waiting game, life on pause until the perfect conditions are met and finally he can live the life he wants to live it.
But now Regulus is old enough, and it's still the same old bullshit with no end in sight, and Sirius is drowning. Until one day, a Teaching Assistant crashes his motorcycle at his feet.

Repressed Sirius gets a grip on his life. Inspiring. Beautiful NYC background.

Summary
Sirius Black has never met a silence he didn’t want to fill with a bad joke, a cigarette, or a questionable hookup.
Remus Lupin, on the other hand, studies silences like they’re something sacred—catalogues them, respects them, knows when to leave them alone.Sirius is grieving. Or maybe just aggressively not-grieving. He’s tired, a little unhinged, probably smells like lavender-scented mold, and trying (sort of) to tick off a self-improvement list that mostly reads like someone shouted “healing” into a Pinterest board.
Then there’s Remus: tall, annoyingly clever, half-thrifted academic boy who smells like lemons and has zero patience for Sirius' rich-boy nihilism.
This is a story about grief, group counseling, guilt, weird eye contact, sweaty concerts, mildew apartments, and two idiots who share a bit too much trauma. It’s about how sometimes the quiet people see you clearer than anyone else. And how maybe, just maybe, that turns out to be terrifyingly right.THE STORY IS NOW COMPLETE.

Absolutley wonderful fic. An exploration of grief and depression, GREAT Sirius pov, sometimes too good at describing how he's feeling, ie I'm in this picture and i don't like it. Great dialogues and banter. Reread for sure.

Summary
Remus and Sirius broke up years ago. It was a loud, uncivil, downright hateful breakup and ruined their friendship forever. Or so Remus had thought.
Sometimes “Do you still love me?” is a “Can you come pick me up?” text after seven years of not talking. And “I do” is driving several hours to do it.
Or, Remus and Sirius have to spend a long time in a car together and Remus lies to himself the entire time

Summary
Remus is broke and out of options. When he receives an offer from Orion Black – full funding for his research in exchange for help on a secret project – he really can’t afford to say no. But spending the summer working at the Black family’s secluded estate brings more than he bargained for, especially when it comes to Sirius.
