Summary
“Well,” Remus says quietly, “you don’t let people know you."
“And you’re saying you know me?” Sirius drawls, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the only one?”
The half-arsed derision in his tone doesn’t seem to surprise or intimidate Remus. He only smiles, knowing.
It is one thing to love a person; it is quite another to see them as they truly are and to love them all the same. And sometimes, Sirius thinks, he’d rather die than let anybody see beneath the defensive facade of his brave face.
From 1971 to 1978, the Hogwarts years of obsession, betrayal, recklessness, lies, too much drink, insecurity, and all eclipsing sexual frustration. Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense. Seven years for Sirius to finally admit to himself that what he wants is not only to be loved, but to be known entirely. And therein lies the difficulty.

Summary
She doesn’t quite know what to do with the way that Alice is looking at her. Like she’s something sacred, something inescapable, one of the old gods that slumber in the centre of the earth—Alice’s eyes are their own kind of hunger, the ache of an empty belly, the dark comfort of dreaming and the soft light of coming awake.
“Your life is your own, Narcissa,” she says.
And oh, how badly Narcissa wishes that were true.

Summary
It’s Sirius’s day off.
It’s his day off, and he works over a hundred hours a week, and he just wants one night without being responsible for a stranger’s life. Just one night off.
The universe, of course, has different plans for him.
Or: Sirius is a cardiothoracic surgeon, Remus needs heart surgery, and their lives become more entangled than Sirius would’ve ever imagined.

Summary
It was then that Sirius Black realized he had spent the entirety of his life thus far submerged underwater, a slow and painful suffocation that had carried on for so long he hadn't even realized he was drowning. Not until Remus Lupin showed him what it was like to truly breathe.
