Summary
Looking through Remus’s eyes now, Lily began to realise that not everything was as it seemed. There was an undercurrent of tension between Sirius and Remus, something sharp and unresolved. And then there were Severus’s accusations...
She hadn’t believed Severus, not really, but—the bone-deep exhaustion, the scars that marred Remus’s back, etched into his skin like a roadmap of pain...
She couldn’t help but wonder, where did Remus really go during full moons?
Or,
The one where Lily and Remus swap bodies for two hellish weeks in October 1976.

Summary
Happiness is hard to come by, and harder to keep. But at eighteen, Remus Lupin thinks he’s made a relatively good life for himself.
In the harsh reality of the 74th annual reaping, where names written on slips of paper determine survival, Remus believes this year is his last. Little does he know, the Hunger Games will redefine what he thought was a good life, throwing him into an arena where the odds are stacked against him, and he must confront a reality where survival demands more than he ever imagined.

Summary
Outside, Tokyo’s early evening traffic thrums with urgency beneath heavy rain, and he knows if he trained his ear, he’d hear the city alive regardless with chatter and music. If he trained his nose, he’d smell the thickening, humid weather, the bay, the heady smells of gyoza and Takoyaki and tempura, cooking in spitting oil, but he doesn’t. No, what he does is keep looking at Lestat and thinking – not for the first time – that this has been a mistake. Thinks he has stayed too long here in Japan, even if it’s been just shy of two weeks.
-
It's been 18 months since they reunited, Lestat's on the cusp of fame, Louis' trying to be companion enough for himself, they're both a mess, but they both still want each other all the same.

Summary
“Need I remind you,” Louis said, in that same low, cold voice, “that I never married you.”
“Need I remind you,” Lestat snapped, “that you bound yourself to me, in that church, on the altar!”
Now it was Louis’ turn to laugh.
Lestat wears a ring. Louis doesn't. Daniel pries, and gets a bit more than he bargained for.
