Summary
Wolfstar Games 2020 - Team Sound / Prompt: typewriter
“Lupin didn’t seem pleased that I was filming last night,” Sirius said lightly.
“Most people that come here…” Lily spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully, “Remus put it like this to me once: most people who choose to spend years of their life so far from civilization have a reason for leaving it behind. Remus wanted someone like us and he held out for so long because he expected he would get sent a bunch of finicky artsy types. I don’t think he expected you. And now that you’re here, I don’t think he quite knows what to do with you.”
When wildlife filmmaker Sirius Black arrives on a remote Antarctic island for a year-long assignment, he isn't phased by the freezing wind, the perpetual darkness, or the hostility he meets from some of the biologists at the research base. He is used to living an itinerant existence. He is comfortable with unforgiving conditions. He expects the world to treat him harshly. But he does not expect to fall in love.

Summary
Perched on his doorstep, Sirius Black is bedraggled and pathetic. He looks all his fifteen years, rainwater dripping off his sharp nose, dark hair sticking to his forehead, a thick, white curse scar sticking out of the neckline of his muggle sweater.
“Took ages for me to remember the right apartment,” Black mutters indistinctly. “Hey, Moody.”
“That’s Auror Moody to you,” Alastor says, without much heat to it. “What are you waiting for, boy? Come in, there’s no use in talking on doorsteps-”
Black shuffles inside. Under the flickering overhead light, he’s sallow and translucent, like you could walk right through him if you wanted to.
.
(or: a war is coming, and Alastor Moody knows enough about war that when he finds a spy in young Sirius Black, he makes a series of difficult decisions.)
