Would It Be Enough (If I Could Never Give You Peace)? by Middleofamoment

Summary
She sighs. “You’re trying to logic your way out of it again.”
“I’m being realistic.”
“That’s the problem. Love isn’t rational, Remus.”
“I’m not in love.”
“Bullshit.”
Remus bites the inside of his cheek, knowing Lily is winding up for a rant when he sees it.
“You’ve been in love with Sirius Black since the day you first met him. Don’t try and tell me I’m wrong, I know. You love him, Remus, and you don’t get anything in life if you don’t at least try to chase it.”***
Ever since up and coming actor Remus Lupin and top-model Sirius Black hooked up with each other two years ago, their relationship fizzled out. All Remus knows is Sirius left him alone in a hotel room, and all Sirius knows is Remus doesn't want to see him again. But after taking a chance on their friend's podcast, Sirius turns Remus's world upside down once again by announcing that Remus was his best kiss (and sex). As they brave the world of PR stunts, secret relationships, and repairing a friendship (and romance) that they thought was long since lost, they find themselves wondering, would they ever be able to give the other peace - or is this relationship doomed before the tabloids can even write their next hit?

Summary
Teddy turns the letters over in his hand.
“My advice though? You don’t even know if they’ll say yes. What’s the harm? I know you, and you’ll want to know the answer even if it hurts you. You’ll want closure… this’ll give you closure one way or another,” Harry says honestly and Teddy nods.
“You’re right.” He opens the lid and slides it in. “The worst they can say is no.”
“And if they say yes?” Harry asks.
“Well…” Teddy smiles over at him. “Then that’s where the adventure begins, right?”
***
Eighteen year old Teddy Black has never known his father, his only remnants of him being his pa's old journal and his middle name. When his best friend's wedding rolls around, and with his graduation party fast approaching, Teddy takes a risk in hope that he can mend his broken family.
With a bit of mental breakdowns, frenzied parties, and the ambiance of Abba music in Greece, what can go wrong? Well... maybe more importantly, what can go right?~

Summary
“Aren’t you always?” Sirius teases gently, squeezing his waist. “You act like you’re the one adopting a child for the first time. I would like to remind you that is not the case."
“I know, but this time feels different. Teddy… his parents passed away in an accident. He had a loving family...” Remus turns around and Sirius snuggles into his arms. “I know that’s not the case this time.”
Sirius nods with a sigh. “Well, at least that’s something I know I am experienced with.”
***
After a year of being married and opening themselves up to adopting another child, Sirius and Remus receive a call from their friend Amelia informing them there is a fourteen year old girl named Hope looking for a home. Once again, Sirius finds, like babysitting and proposing, there's no proper guide for parenthood. Especially when you're parenting a child whose a reflection of you...

Summary
"He could be good for Remus," she says simply.
"No one is good enough for Remus."
"Except you?" Marlene asks and the question cuts him wide open. "You're looking at him like you have something to say."
"I don't," Sirius says, not sure if he's answering her first question or her second.
She hums, clearly unconvinced. "Could've fooled me."
They stay like that for a while slowly sipping their drinks before she speaks again. "You'll drive yourself mad if you continue on this way."
"You act if I'm not already."
***
It's Sirius's sixteenth birthday party. But what should be one of his days of triumph over what he and his friends had conquered that year, turns into Sirius spiraling out of control, unsure if his friends can stop him. Especially not when Remus is off snogging some other guy...

Summary
“I know, but you don’t have to worry about me, you know.” Sirius nudges her. “I can take care of myself.”
“Yes, I know. But what will I do without you?”
“Well, you’ll never have to know that.” Sirius laughs, trying to be cheerful and wraps his arm around her shoulders. “You’ll always have me.”
“Promise?” She asks, blue eyes that mirrored his own almost so completely gazing up at him with admiration.
“Promise."***
The Marauders go on a Christmas holiday together during their third year of university. While on holiday, Sirius finds himself grappling with the newfound depth to his feelings for his friend, Remus Lupin, but is determined to not let his foolish heart get in the way of enjoying his time with friends. This plan goes off the rails when when an unexpected meeting at a Christmas market turns Sirius's life upside down once again.

Summary
He picks up the phone with a smirk on his face, “So did you play sick, Lils or dead?”
He hears a relieved sigh on the other end and pauses before the other person replies, “Not Evans, Moons.”
Remus blinks in surprise, his heart stuttering in his chest as he whispers hopefully into the phone. “Padfoot?”
***
Almost half a year of dating later, Remus picks up a call from who he assumes is Lily Evans on Christmas Eve. Instead he's surprised by his boyfriend, Sirius Black, on the other end of the line with something to say.

Summary
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. My point still stands… Is this about the cuddling last night?”
Sirius flushes and takes another deep puff of his cigarette. “No…”
“You’re a horrible liar.”
“I’m too tired to lie right now,” Sirius refutes and plays with a loose string on his pjs.
“You know, if it makes you uncomfortable, I can just try and move you apart with my antlers. It may not work the first time, but the second probably could-”
“No, no. It was fine,” Sirius explains, meeting his eyes for the first time in their conversation. “I wasn’t uncomfortable, I was…”
He looks away and James lets out a puff of air almost like a laugh.
“You liked it, didn’t you?”
***
Sirius opens up to James after a full moon with Remus where the wolf and Padfoot find themselves cuddling all night. They have a discussion about their feelings and ask themselves is all the pain pining brings all worth it?
(Spoiler alert: absolutely). -

Summary
Of all the things he did and didn’t prepare for, you would think he would have the wherewithal to pack an umbrella for a trip to fucking Wales. But nope, apparently he’d forgotten that too. Left it somewhere back in London with his dignity.
He was sure he must have abandoned all thoughts of respectability coming back here in the first place, but it wasn’t like he felt he could go anywhere else.
“If you ever lose your way, you can come back here. I’ll be here if you come running, I promise. You’ll always have somewhere in this world to call home, no matter how far you are.”
Sirius feels tears well up in his eyes. How he hoped that was the truth.
***
Sirius Black has everything a twenty-three year old musician could want. Well, at least that's how it may seem. After all, he has an impressive career as the lead singer for a rock band under the stage name 'Star' and they've been pretty successful. However, after having his name smeared in every gossip magazine by his vindictive-creepy manager, rock star Sirius Black finds himself running back to his hometown, the life he left within it, and the one place he thought he'd never return too: his ex-boyfriend's front door.

Summary
“You…”
“What about me? Have I done something wrong?”
“No! I… fuck.” Sirius lets go of Remus’s arm to tangle his fingers in his hair and Remus instantly mourns the loss.
“You don’t need to talk about this if you’re not ready,” Remus says gently, his worry for his friend outweighing his curiosity.
“But I am ready! I have to be ready. I can’t keep this in anymore, yet I can’t let it out… Ugh I’m such a bloody coward.”
“Don’t say that.” Remus steps forward and puts a hand on his shoulder. Sirius’s eyes quickly snap down to that point of contact. “You are so incredibly brave, but you’re also quite impatient. Be kind to yourself. If you're not ready to talk about this then, it’s alright. You only just ran away from home a few months ago and-”
“I like you,” Sirius blurts out.

After a tough full moon, Remus notices Sirius acting a little off. He finally thinks Sirius trusts him to open up to him on a cold night, but what Sirius has to say is not at all what he was expecting.

Summary
He could handle yelling, and he was used to people fearing him, but watching the heartbreak in Remus’s eyes destroyed him. He knew when Remus returned to the dorm that night, Sirius staying up waiting to hear his curtains shut, that he’d lost the best thing that ever happened to him. He remembered the sounds of screams and sobs breaking through the messily cast silencing charm.
He was right then. He’d lost everything.
***
Two months ago Sirius ruined the best thing that ever happened to him and is still struggling to pick up the pieces ever since. After returning to the dorms one night, he transforms into Padfoot to help steady his emotions - it's easier to think that way. However, not everything is as it seems, and when Padfoot discovers danger to Moony, he springs into action.

Summary
“But a part of me always wanted that with you. Those classy, mushy and slightly awkward first dates.”
“We have time.” Remus moves the hand that was cupping Sirius’s cheek to his hand. He squeezes both of them tightly. Sirius looks down and watches the way they fit together. It fills him with a touch of warmth to know it’ll always be like this. Him and Remus fitting together like puzzle pieces.
“We can go on those dates if you want. Hell…” Remus pulls his hands away. Sirius wants to cry out at the sudden lack of his touch, but bites his tongue. Remus pulls a pen out of his pocket and grabs one of their napkins.
He looks up at Sirius with one of those beautiful genuine smiles. “What dates would you want to go on, baby?”And fuck - Sirius is falling in love all over again.
***
A year into dating Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black wants to propose. He finds the perfect excuse for time alone with his boyfriend when he realizes that he and Remus never went on any classic first dates. However, when these dates, and consequently Sirius's chances of proposing, don't go exactly as planned, Sirius finds himself faced with a new reality that love isn't perfect... and maybe it doesn't need to be.

Summary
Remus gulps, slowly opening the seal and pulling the letter from the envelope. He wasn’t sure what to expect from Sirius Black, but it certainly wasn’t this.
Scrawled there on the page were three words that he’d been mulling over in his head for the past two days he spent in his parents home. Written in that infuriatingly pristine cursive was a phrase that he knew upended his world once again.
I miss you.
***
After getting into a fight with his boyfriend over who is the spy in The Order, Remus Lupin hides out at his parents for a few days. While trying to reconcile his feelings for Sirius Black with the pressure they're under, he receives a letter from him with three words that threaten to upend his life all over again.

Summary
“Oh… you got a soulmark… wait-isn’t that?” Sirius looks back in the mirror and traces the outline of his permanent tattoo on his chest, running over the all too familiar set of constellations. He used to search for it over summer holidays, hating how the London lights would blur his ability to see. Yet, he still squinted through it to see those stars gazing back at him.
The Lupus constellation.
Remus.
Sirius stares back at James, who still was blinking at him with wide eyes. Sirius takes a deep breath before covering his face and shouting into his hands.
“Fuck!”***
Sirius Black has a problem. One that's been engraved on his skin for five months. A tattoo-sized-problem that he desperately hopes will match his best friend and secret crush, Remus Lupin, once he turns seventeen. With the days ticking down to his destiny, Sirius finds himself wondering if the universe is kind, for once in his life, how on earth would some so broken be good enough for someone like Remus? After all, how could a star, with its meager brightness, ever attract the attention of someone as beautiful as the moon?

Summary
Remus sighs and rubs his temple.
“Sounds like I don’t have much of an option, do I?”
“Come on, Moony. How bad could it be?” Remus gives him a withering look and Sirius grins. After a moment of stand-off between the two, Remus eventually relents, rolling his eyes and looking away.
“I’m not giving you an answer to that question.”
“Why not?”
“Because then it’ll give you ideas.” Sirius laughs and James joins in.
“I won’t let him kill your son, Moons. Don’t worry,” James promises.
“You better not, Prongs. I’m sure Lily would help me get you if you did.” James gasps, but this only makes Sirius laugh harder.***
When Remus gets offered a book tour in the US for his new novel, Sirius offers to babysit his twelve year old son Teddy for a week so he can go. For years, Sirius has said he hasn't wanted kids so he wouldn’t have any chance at messing them up like his parents did to him and Regulus. However, after a few days of looking after a twelve year old that he’s sure can endear himself to anyone, Sirius is suddenly not so sure about his original position anymore.

Summary
“What’s the Black family madness?” Sirius asked, trailing behind her as she decided against the item she was looking at in the store window and moves on.
“It’s an excuse.”
“An excuse?”
“For our family's bad behavior.” She huffed before turning around to face him. She cups his face in her hands. “Don’t believe them. There is no madness. There is a spark - a rebellion within every one of us. That is the madness they speak of, but it’s those who chose to act upon their fire who are burned off the tree and shunned as insane.” Her eyes were intense as she continued. “Don’t believe them. Don’t lose that spark. I can see it inside you, that little touch of madness. Grab ahold of it and don’t let go. Promise me?”
Sirius nods, not completely sure what he’s agreeing to, but it seemed important. “Promise, Andy.”
***
Sirius Black has always heard rumors of the Black family madness. His cousin Andromeda has always described it as a spark - a choice that every one in their family has to make. But it's the first wizarding war, and no family legend becomes one without a reason. Especially, when a loved one gets hurt.

Summary
Sirius stubs his own cigarette out on the stones. “When… when you get your soul marking… Do you think you’re going to try to find them?” Sirius asks softly.
Remus lets the filter drop from his fingers as he grabs another cigarette. He lights it with a snap of his fingers and breathes it in.
“Not sure,” He admits with a soft exhale out into the night sky. "I’m not sure I could ever ask anyone else to spend the rest of their life with me. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t have one show up at all.”
“Oh please,” Sirius nudges him. “Everyone gets a soulmate, Moons. Even self-deprecating werewolves.”
Remus rolls his eyes. “I don’t think my soulmate would want me, Pads.”
Sirius sighs. Remus catches him looking up at the sky before whispering so soft Remus can barely make it out. “Anyone would be lucky to have you, Remus.”
***
Remus's 17th birthday is coming up and, like most of the wizards and witches of his age, he's about to receive his soul mark. However, he has a small problem. He's already fallen utterly in love with his best friend. With the days ticking down to his fate, Remus finds himself wondering if he'll even get a soulmate after all...

Summary
“Are you sure you want that with me?” Remus scoffs with a laugh.
“You mean… a future?” Sirius laughs as well and turns over so they're facing each other. Remus moves his hand to his boyfriend’s hip.
“No, I mean like… me living with you. All of us under the same roof. I mean, that house was yours originally and-” Remus smiles widely, shaking his head as he leans their foreheads together
“Oh darling,” Remus whispers, and he can hear the adoration in his voice. “There is nothing I want more than that.” He watches Sirius’s eyes light up and he grins. “Come live with me, my love,” Remus repeats with a smile.***

Summary
“I lied.”
“Hmm?” Sirius says, trying desperately to keep his voice steady.
“I didn’t get blindsided. They were saying someone was going to be hurt. He was angry. I knew it was going to be me. I could’ve gotten out, but I went anyway.” Sirius feels bile rise in his mouth and he has to steady himself against the sink. Nausea bubbles up in his stomach and he grips on tighter, begging it not to emerge.
“Always the martyr, aren’t you?” Sirius whispers, trying to make a soft joke.
“Always for a good reason, Sirius. Please trust me. It is.”

Summary
He blamed her for his romantic idealism, because Remus truly had picked the absolute worst and perfect person to fall for. Perfect, because that was exactly what he was, with curly black hair curling just past his shoulders, and glimmering gray eyes. He was an entire night sky packed into an entire person. Sometimes, Remus wondered if he was a celestial being sent to torment him. After all, Remus had never gotten the best things in life. He had been cursed, and that had carried over to his love life. That was the worst part, because Remus Lupin, a half-blood werewolf, was in love with his best friend. His best friend who once had an entire pure-blood dynasty resting on his shoulders. His best friend, who never - even in Remus’s wildest fantasies - could ever love him back.
***
After waking up from a pretty bad full moon, Remus awakes to a date Sirius arranged to show his best friend his feelings for him. Only problem? Remus doesn't realize it's Valentine's Day... or a date.
Aka - a fluffy Valentine's Day one-shot for you all - enjoy!
