   Summary

   Sirius Black is dead.

   Mostly, anyway.

   On the brink of passing on, he is visited by a friend of Harry's from the future, who offers to send him back in time to make things right. Can the most brash and reckless member of the Marauders right what's gone wrong? Or will he only succeed in making things so much worse? Moreover, will he be able to rebuild the bridges he's already burnt...or are there some friendships that are simply over long before their time?
