Summary
The post-tour melancholia comes in stages for Sirius Black.
One. Dig himself a hole and hide there for days.
Two. Venture out, distract.
Three. Reconnect with friends.
Four. Crawl back to bandmates.
Five. Compose. Compose. Compose.
Never once has this melancholia skipped a step.
Never once has Sirius Black allowed it to.
-or-
An art block can be a bitch and sometimes resolving it requires radical solutions. Like reuniting with your long lost best friend. Falling in love. Or perhaps just remembering old love that has never expired in the first place.

Summary
James sometimes forgets how other people see Sirius: ambitious, reckless, unapproachable. Cardio-god in the making. Impatient and, at times, unforgiving.
He may be a little bit in love with Sirius, he knows that. But then again, is there anyone at St Mungo’s who isn't?

A Hospital AU where they're all surgeons and James is also down bad.

Summary
“My name is Lily, Lily Evans. I’m a Kappa. And you look like you might want to sit down, Regulus. I think you’re about to hurl.”
It took another moment for him to realize that yes, he was about to hurl, and without another word, he turned and did so, right into a vase with some kind of scented decorative sticks poking out of it.

Summary
“The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.”
Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says.
Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.”
Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort.
“Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.”

Summary
He hadn’t realised that James had grown bored of the stargazing, not until he was gesturing in the general direction of a constellation and James’ hand was grabbing his own, bringing it down to his face until it was close enough to draw Sirius’ fingers into his mouth with his tongue.

Despite what most people would’ve said, Peter Pettigrew was not a coward, and he wasn’t stupid either.
Cowards make decisions out of fear, and - though he may not have seemed it - Peter was a Gryffindor after all.
But there is a difference between bravery and picking your battles, as we’re about to see.

Summary
It has been since first year: this delirious want suffused in Remus’s veins. James introduced himself on their first day at university and Remus’s heart hasn’t sat right in his chest since. It’s been bunched over, scrunched in a corner to make room for James and his booming laugh and bright smile, the way his calloused fingers grip Remus’s elbow as he passes him in the hallway of their shared flat and scoops out his pulse.
two boys and a day.

Summary
remus knows magic is a myth, wizards and witches are not real. he also knows that right in front of him is a face he has not seen in decades; and it looks no different since he saw it last. remus is frozen in his place, struck with the ridiculous thought that maybe he should get into contact with the occult.
or maybe he just needs a long nap. either would work.

Wronski Feint's are banned in kissing by orphan_account

Summary
"Oh no, no, you're not allowed to pull that whole lean-in-pretend-you're-going-to-kiss-me move," Sirius says, making him pause. "This isn't Quidditch, you can't Wronski Feint me."
Mainly because he couldn't handle it.
James laughs, and Sirius laughs, too, playing into the joke. He waits for James to pull back now that the moment's over, and then they can go and devise some great prank to pull on McGonagall. Maybe the rest of the heads of houses if they've got time before Moony and Wormtail get back from Arithmancy.
"Fair enough," James says, and starts to pull ba--
He's not pulling back. He's really leaning in.
