Summary
It's the late 1970s and newly graduated Sirius Black has made his way down to Soho in an effort to drag his politician father's name through the mud. It's a night that changes his life forever and not just because he meets a mysterious Welsh boy who is handing out leaflets for a local queer club but because it's the night that will lead him to meet his new family and a whole world he could only dream about being a part of back when he was attending Eton.

Summary
Sometime's attraction sneaks up on you. What do you do when that attraction is to your best friend and it changes everything you thought you knew about yourself? What do you do when it means you are what you don't actually want to be? Remus and Sirius have always been outsiders in one way or another and now it seems they're different in this way too. This is a story about how one boy copes with discovering his sexuality and how the other will deny it until he loses everything.

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

Summary
The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

Summary
He turned to Remus. “This is my mate Sirius. He’s a dickhead.” Sirius punched him on the shoulder. “Sirius, this is Remus. He’s new.”
Sirius finally looked at him. He appeared regal, out of place inside of the country pub. Rich, black hair curled around his ears and brushed his defined chin. He scanned his face for a moment—his eyes were grey and distant. Remus nodded at him, acutely aware that neither of them had said anything yet. A muscle in Sirius’ jaw twitched. He hummed noncommittally. “I’m gonna go pass out upstairs,” he said to James and James alone. “Tell the missus I’ll be over for dinner tonight.” With that, Sirius left through the backroom door.
Well, fuck you too, Remus thought.
Or, where Remus gets on the wrong train, and Sirius doesn't trust strangers.

Summary
This is, Sirius knows, where he should reel off their drinks order, but he momentarily loses the ability to form words because this man is... well, he’s really fucking beautiful. His hair is curly; long on the top but cut short on the sides, and it’s golden, everything about him is just golden. His eyes and his freckles and the impatient scowl on his face. His lips are full and unimpressed, a little rough from the inclement weather, pursed together as he waits for Sirius to speak.
“Erm,” Sirius mumbles, losing all of his usual swagger. “Three pints of bitter please.”
The man nods, pulls the pints with practised proficiency and hands the card machine to Sirius. “Ten sixty.”
Sirius starts. “For all three drinks?”
The man arches an eyebrow. “Not from round these parts, are you?”

Summary
It’s been ten years since Regulus Black opted out. Disappeared from all of their lives entirely. Nobody has seen nor heard from him since. But when Remus Lupin accepts a new position in a firm he knows little about, he is forced to confront the ghosts of the past which will have far-reaching consequences for them all.
Or:
Lily catches her Big Love cheating; Remus runs into someone long forgotten - someone who snogged him out of the blue at a house party; and Marlene strives to reconcile the unreconcilable.
