    Summary

    Remus Lupin knows better than to touch Sirius Black—but watching? That’s harder to resist.

    Ten years. One silk-robed neighbour. More windows than sense.

    After his divorce and belated coming out, Remus collects firsts, lasts, and everything messy in-between. Friends joke that his love life spins like the revolving doors at the Ritz, but one desire stays constant: Sirius—his tattooed neighbour who refuses most clothing, lives in silk robes, and somehow keeps getting finer (and more risqué) with time.

    And for over a decade, their flirtation has smouldered—sometimes scorching other relationships in its wake—while Remus holds himself back. After all, he was the one who first shut the metaphorical door in Sirius’s face. For ten years, he’s believed all that's left are stolen, shame-filled, yearning glances of Sirius, taken in through windows and from a distance. But Sirius knows most doors don’t stay closed—and exactly how to coax one, make it beg to open.

    This is the story of Remus’s forty-third birthday. Of the years after a marriage ends and a life begins in the middle of things: of queer joy growing like blue irises, of fatherhood, of desire, and of learning to forgive oneself for old punishments.

    Summary

    “He… could… be ugly now?”

    Remus snorts.

    “You never know. A lot can happen to a guy in seven years.”

    A lot can happen to an already plain werewolf in seven years. He can acquire more scars, develop grey streaks, wrinkle prematurely. But to the classically gorgeous force of nature that is Sirius Black? “He was in America, not Azkaban. And even then…”

    ***

    In which everyone parted ways after the war, but a troubling discovery brings them back together.

    Summary

    Somewhat of a prequel to the magpie's solo, takes place long before the events of that fic. An exploration of Connie, Sasha and Jean's friendship.

    Despite Jean’s best efforts to keep everyone at arm’s length, he was simply a fucked up addition to Connie’s family of strays he’d managed to gather since his mum had died all those years ago.

    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

    Summary

    James and Gideon called it quits almost three weeks ago. And Sirius and Remus, in small ways, have been inching their way closer to him again; little touches, brushes of fingertips, half-hugs, shoulder squeezes.

    A chin on his shoulder in the taxi. Warm breath on his cheek.

    James can still see Gideon staring at him in the rear view, though. From his WhatsApp icon. From his old texts and voicemails that he hasn’t gotten around to deleting yet.

    It makes it difficult to touch them back. To fall back into that familiar, beautiful habit.

    But God, he really wants to.
