Summary
Christmas and yearning.
Sirius almost says, the marble on the tip of his tongue, about how he wants him so much it’s a permanent ache; a broken rib in his chest. How he just wants Remus there, beside him. He doesn’t understand why Remus will sit next to him on his bed, year after year, and look at him the way he does — something helpless and honest but maybe just a trick of the light — only to pull away from Sirius for weeks at a time, citing studying as an excuse and leaving Sirius helplessly alone; dog left out in the cold, waiting. He keeps waiting. He pretends he isn’t.

Summary
And it’s hard to say it—the fact that he wouldn’t be here if not for an honestly quite arbitrary decision made by a hat, that had to mean something, because he could have ended up anywhere else. But then he wouldn’t have known anything about James and Peter and how they laugh, or the way Remus takes his tea, and so that had to be it.
Laughter and tea, the enormity of it. Enough to cheer up an eleven year old boy.
"There but for the grace of God go I," Remus says. When Sirius turns to him his eyes are clear, looking right back. "Something people say when they can’t tell why things aren’t worse."

Sirius goes to stay at the Lupins' one weekend in the summer after sixth year, gets dragged to church, mulls some things over.

Summary
Beyond the respectable neighbourhood of their own splendid townhouse, the brown brick building sat imposing and shadowed deep behind the overgrown front yard. Mother forbade them to walk this way into town, for fear of them being infected by the poverty and disgrace.
When Regulus and his mates deface the derelict building, Sirius finds a reason to visit. What he finds there gives him reason to stay… until he finds something else

Summary
Sometimes Remus catches him standing in the shop, staring. He looks like he's somewhere far off and he walks around the shop touching things – shelves, books, pictures on the wall. He studies them with his uncomfortably intense gaze as if he's remembering something far away. Sometimes he looks at Remus like that.

Summary
When crippling loss makes it harder and harder to get out of bed each morning, Sirius comes across a man with a guitar and a voice that lightens the grey scrim over life just enough to matter. ((playlist link included in author's notes))
