    Summary

    The sun was high and hot and the world had taken on that wonderful film-grain again, the yellows turning golden and the greens turning yellow and everything deep and rich and wonderful, as if they’d all climbed inside Sirius’s old camera and as if they could stay there for as long as they liked, because the world only existed as far as the rocky horizon, and that was plenty big enough for the four of them.

    It's a Canadian roadtrip adventure! The perfect summer, apart from the way Remus is doing Sirius's head in, and the way Sirius can't figure out why.

    Summary

    “I’m Sirius. You are James, aren’t you?”

    Remus, still slackjawed and speechless, managed a tentative nod of affirmation.

    He was fucked.

    OR

    James has promised to be in two places at once and needs somebody to cover for his blind date. Remus is a pushover. His one task is to get rejected. What he doesn't anticipate is meeting Sirius Black-- beautiful, incomprehensible, and impossible to say no to.

    Based on the youth of may premise but without any of the sadness and considerably more dumb.

    Summary

    In the letter that arrived on the 18th of August 1977, buried between Moony's commentary on the death of Elvis Presley and his droll take on the symbolism of Jupiter's largest moon being named Ganymede, was the seemingly-innocuous question: what's something that makes you feel happy every time you see it?

    You.

    That was the automatic response that arose in Sirius's mind. The moment he read the question he heard his answer, you, Moony.

    Summary

    Under Remus's bedsheets at 3am is when Sirius confesses that he doesn't actually like kissing.

    Twelve witches led him to that decision.

    Remus notices the flaw right away: "Your sample size is too small. You've kissed a dozen witches, but that's still only 50% of the kissable population."

    What to do about it?
