Summary
It’s a Friday afternoon. On Fridays, Sirius goes to the pub with his friend James. James sometimes brings his wife along, and sometimes just countless pictures of his son. Sirius sees the kid at least twice a week but still he looks at each photo as if it were a great treasure.
Remus goes in fifteen minutes after them, sometimes half an hour. Sometimes he doesn’t go in at all and sits in his car instead, waiting for the bartender to call last orders. Twice he felt brave and sent a drink to Sirius’ table, but left before it was delivered. Both times the bartender told him the same: this is a pub, mate. You want to talk to him, go talk to him, I ain’t doing table service.

Summary
Sirius Black flees his wedding, still in his tuxedo, minutes before walking down the aisle. He doesn't think. He just drives. Until he sees a hitchhiker limping down the road with frayed bell bottom blue jeans, a graffitied wooden cane, and a sarcastic goddam mouth. He's heading west to seek his fortune in California and needs a ride. Sirius has a car and lots to run from. When you ain't got nothin, you got nothin to lose.

Summary
Ever chivalrous, while tagging along on his best friends’ honeymoon, Sirius decides to cart himself off to northern Germany and offer them a few days of complete privacy. While away, though, late at night in a bar on the edge of Eutin, he hears of an old oak tree with a knothole for a letterbox. An old oak tree storied to bring soulmates together.
And, well...six ill-considered glasses of wine later find Sirius face to face with the Bridegroom’s Oak, climbing its ladder to poke a tipsily-composed mess of a letter through the hole. Call it a whim. Call it a momentary lapse in judgement. Call it a drunken tale to be forgotten about come morning.
And forget about it, he does.
Or, at least, he does until six weeks on, back home in London, when he receives a letter in reply.

Summary
Sirius Black has killed his brother. At least, his father is convinced he has, and that's as good as the truth. Then, the war ends, and he's faced with a choice— return north to New York and face his father's wrath, or, well...it's a big country...there's a lot of land, westward. A lot of land between New York and California.
That is, if he ever makes it to California, as he finds himself quickly immersed in the mysterious and seemingly illegal goings on at The Luna Saloon somewhere near the border of the Colorado and the Utah Territories, and its intriguing owners.

Or, the author wanted to expel some frustration at the state of the world and write a self-indulgent cowboy story about taking justice into your own hands when the law of the land is unjust.
