Summary
The Gryffindor common room, a party, and spin the bottle.
“Who are you trying to kiss, Padfoot?”
The air stills, stifling, and Remus is caught in the turnover of every lyric, the scratch of the record player and the soundless lull as it ends, waiting to be flipped. He stares at Sirius.
Sirius blinks, sucks his cheek between his teeth and raises his eyebrows. “It’d ruin the fun if I told, wouldn’t it?”- Language:

Summary
He is quite clever, he considers, in the way he doles out his observations. A look in the hallway between classes during which he focuses on Remus’s fingers as they hold his textbooks, is enough to tide him over until lunch. At lunch, he can risk a prolonged glance into his eyes, green and full of speckled yellow spots. This can keep him full until bedtime. At night, he watches Remus in his too big shirt and tiny, tiny shorts that should be illegal, as he puts on his reading glasses and buries himself in some muggle romance novel, and this is enough to fill Sirius’s dreams that night, until he wakes up in the morning and the cycle inevitably begins again.

Summary
He can still hear the party in the other room, hazy and indistinct but in here it’s quiet; just the sound of Remus’ breath in his ear, static in the receiver, white noise fizzling at the base of Sirius’ spine.
He hears Remus swallow and then: “You still there?”
Sirius lolls his head to the side looking down at the tile floor. There’s a crack in the grout and Sirius digs the heel of his boot into it.
“Do you still have that freckle behind your ear?” he says in answer.
“What?” Remus titters, his voice choking out, startled and brittle. The corner of Sirius’ lip starts to curve up and he catches it, teeth between lip.
“The freckle,” he says, white knuckled grip on the telephone, “the one behind your ear. The one you scratch at when you get nervous.”
“Well I can’t very well see behind my ear, but it’s only been two months, Sirius. I reckon it’s still there.”

Summary
It’s been a little over a year since Sirius had kissed him for the first time on Halloween, crowding him up against the counter, whispering ‘Hey, you’ in his ear, breath warm with alcohol. A little over a year since Remus had tried half-heartedly to push him away, whispering, ‘I don’t think this is a good idea.’ To which Sirius had said, ‘Give me one reason why not,’ and Remus had stood there unable to say, ‘Because I'm in love with you, because I’m scared of what that love may do to me,’ and unable to come up with anything else, choking on a couple years worth of unsaid words, and so he’d just let it happen, more than just let it happen. It’s been three years since the boy across the hall had knocked on his dorm door to introduce himself, posh accent, ironed-down shirt, lithe, clever fingers pushing long black hair from his face before extending his hand out in offering. Three years since Remus had stared down at that hand, a bit bewildered, before reaching out to grasp it and Sirius had smiled up at him, butterscotch sweet, and his hand had been soft and warm and Remus hadn’t wanted him to let go. The feeling has never gone away.

Summary
Sirius plays the game. Even though he makes it all the way to New York City, still he works for his father's company, still he capitulates to his parents' every stupid demand, he thinks: when Regulus, his brother ten years his junior, is old enough and can make his own choices, Sirius can leave all this shit behind. Every day feels like a waiting game, life on pause until the perfect conditions are met and finally he can live the life he wants to live it.
But now Regulus is old enough, and it's still the same old bullshit with no end in sight, and Sirius is drowning. Until one day, a Teaching Assistant crashes his motorcycle at his feet.

Summary
November, 1979.
Remus is missing, James has no clue what he's doing with his life, Sirius is a loose canon, and they're losing the war.
Of course, that's when Sirius has to go and lose his entire memory.
But maybe, it's not all bad. Maybe, they can have a shot at second chances. Maybe, they can learn to love again. Maybe, they just might be able to turn this war around.

Summary
This is the problem with Yamaguchi: he’s too nice. Tsukishima has known this since they were thirteen, but apparently he’s never learned because here he is, babyproofing their apartment for the third time this month because Sugawara knows Yamaguchi will say yes when he asks them to babysit.

Summary
He's maybe ninety percent certain that this fit of momentary stupidity is going to end up with him dead. Either Tadashi's going to kill him, or he's just going to crawl in front of a car and let it do the honors because: Wow, way to go genius, you just walked right into a scene pulled straight from a shitty TV drama and have now accidentally stripped your boyfriend of every ounce of control he could have over his situation and there's no way to give it back now, no matter how much you want to.
Way. to. go.

They're 25 and just starting to make their headway out into the world. The roughest edges of themselves have been smoothed away from the early years of turmoil and stumbling youth; they're happy in their small apartment with its peeling paint and drafty windows.

Summary
He assumed, the first winter, that it was simply Remus, doing something brilliant again; whispering some old forgotten words and waving a hand so that Sirius's might stay warm in the snow, but when asked Remus insisted that no, he'd done nothing, and in truth he too had noted the relative comfort with which they'd weathered that first winter together, and how much warmer the cottage seemed for having Sirius there, and how the blackberries from the bramble up the trail tasted that much sweeter than last year.
