Summary
“Just kill me, Lily.”
“Here: candle, poems, mints. Best you’re going to do.”
“Lovely. I’m sure I’ll manage to burn his house down, depress him, and offend him. Definitely charming.”
“Maybe just... don’t ever tell him you were his secret Santa?”
In which Remus is very good at gift giving, Sirius is very bad at gift giving, and Lily and James are meddlesome matchmakers. A belated Christmas tale.

Summary
The black kohl along his water line is smudged, black flecks of it dusting his cheekbone. His hair is still flying everywhere, whipping across his face. He’s a mess. He’s the blurred edges of a photograph. He’s a heartbeat and stinging lungs. He’s the rattling behind Remus’ ribcage. And Sirius grins at him, tongue between teeth —illecebrous and tantalising and all things beautiful and dangerous— and all the air rushes out of Remus’ lungs in one fell swoop. He’s lightheaded and dizzy and burning.
or:
Flat-sharing, jealousy, grocery shopping, a war, a party, a broken sink, a pub quiz, and a love that won’t sit still.

Summary
“Moony,” James said after a moment, equally quiet. “There’s a difference between – what happens to you – and, y’know, crying a lot and shouting and eating weird food and everything.”
“I know,” Remus said, forcing lightness into his tone. He looked up. Peter was staring at him, James looking on with concern, but Sirius’ grey eyes were fixed firmly on the ground. He straightened up, suddenly regretting saying anything at all. “Anyway,” he said firmly, eager to move on. “The question is what to do about the girls.”
(In which James isn't Florence Nightingale, Sirius isn't avoiding Remus, and Remus is absolutely not having feelings about his best friend. He might, however, have accidentally become the de facto advisor for all things monthly in the castle.)

Summary
James pinches the bridge of his nose. “Is this what it’s like to have children? You watch them fumble through life like lost puppies and you want to help them even though you know you should let them figure stuff out for themselves?” He places his hands on Remus’ shoulders. “Moony. Darling, dearest Moony. Sirius has been keen on you since fourth year.”

“Sorry.” James puts a hand over his eyes. “Are you saying that amortentia smells like wool and, what, flowers to you?”
Sirius gives him a look. “I mean, you’ve met Moony,” he says. “I assume you haven’t missed the fact we’ve been dating these last couple years. What did you think it would smell like?”

Summary
“He’s trying to find me a girlfriend,” Remus admits.
Lily immediately snorts at the prospect, but then, when turning to say something, she sees his face. What he looks like he can’t be sure, but it’s bad enough that she stops herself and says, “No, you're serious? He’s really… Wow, boys are stupid.”
“Lily.”
“Right, no, sorry. Just. Why does he-?”
“It’s a long story.”

Summary
“All I know is I want—” Remus shuts his mouth in a panic. Gulps. Dry mouth. Palpitations. Sweaty palms.
Sirius tilts his head. “What? What do you want?” Gray eyes. Collarbones. Body heat.
“Nothing,” Remus' eyes shift to Sirius’ lips and then quickly back to smoky eyes, “it doesn’t matter.”
“Remus,” Sirius drawls, exasperated. He steps forward and Remus steps back colliding into the wall behind him. Sirius is smirking up at him. And fuck Remus is staring at his lips again.
