    Summary

    Believing Regulus sold him out again, Sirius says some hurtful things and pushes his brother away. With the advent of Lucius Malfoy's visit to the Black family after years, this is a bad time for a rift between the brothers.

    In hindsight Sirius wishes he'd seen all the signs of how Lucius has been hurting his brother.

    In hindsight Sirius wishes he'd never ignored and pushed away Regulus. Maybe he would have seen it then.

    Summary

    Remus Lupin's friends have always known him to be a happy, healthy person. That's why it comes as a complete shock when he returns to school different; a mere shell of the person he once was. All of his light seems to have been replaced by bitter anger and desperate sadness, and none of his friends know why.
    or; what happens when Remus is bitten in the summer before fifth year instead of when he was five

    Summary

    James learns two things the moment Regulus Black stumbles into his life once again. One, that he has absolutely no choice but to fall in love with the man, and two, that he’s fucked. Not because loving Regulus would be hard, he’s sort of always done it and it comes naturally to him, but because of Regulus’ toxic ex, who has messed him up and planted fake ideals and expectations in his head. He promises himself that he will do his absolute best to show Regulus what being loved actually feels like, which comes with a whole lot of learning.

    Because in James’ eyes, to be loved is to be known.

    Alternatively—James learns lessons about how to love Regulus.

    Summary

    Sirius is definitely in control.

    ***

    “I understand perfectly,” Remus’ eyes were a golden fire. Dark and harsh. “You’re selfish and cruel, and I was a fool to believe you could be anything different.”

    “No, no, no, no. You don’t get it-” It was an accident. He wasn’t in control.

    Summary

    “Remus?” Sirius began, cocking his head to the side. His mind was suddenly racing, filled with moments akin to this.

    Nights when it was far too hot for any of them to wear shirts, so James, Peter, and Sirius would sleep shirtless, Remus insisting that it wasn’t that hot, and they were all dramatic before crawling into bed, shirt firmly in place.

    When they went swimming in the lake and Remus refused to take his shirt off because, as he put it, “I’d rather not freeze my limbs off.”

    When Sirius would drag him into a closet somewhere and reach under his shirt to skim his fingers along firm skin, and Remus would pull back, saying they had somewhere to be.

    When they were alone in the dorm and Sirius inevitably jumped Remus, causing an imprompto makeout session, which usually ended when Sirius tried to take Remus’ shirt off.

    “Why don’t you let me see you shirtless?” he quizzed
