    Summary

    Sirius Black and Remus Lupin come from different sides of the same coin, being expelled from every boarding school in the UK. The last school that will take them is Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From the very start, they hated each other, especially when sharing a dorm, and did whatever they could to take a jab at each other. When they start catching feelings, they resent each other even more for it.

    When perspectives collide, posh meets punk, and privilege meets poverty, how do two delinquents with only a year left at the last school manage to go from strangers, to enemies, to sleeping in the same bed??

    Summary

    Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.

    or,

    Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”

    Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

    Summary

    A selection of individual chapters written from the POVs of other characters featured within "The Cadence of Part-time Poets".

    I have not planned a set number of chapters or characters for which I will be writing, this is purely for fun. Some chapters may be quite long in length, others just a scene or two. This sub-fic is tagged very sparingly so any/all trigger warnings will come at the beginning of each chapter, please be mindful of those.

    I'm open to suggestions of different scenes or POVs in the comments. Peace!

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

    Summary

    “You’re slipping, Harry. Dangerously close to being out of my fingers. And I’m not keen on losing you.”

    “I’m not a possession,” Harry hissed, the words dark and deliberate. He fixed Sirius with a sharp glare. “Not anymore.”

    “You imagine I think of you that way?”

    Sirius’ soft tone broke the sternness of Harry’s brow. His shoulders slumped, and he fought not to let go of the knife. Harry licked his lips, revealing a small truth.

    “I think that’s when you thought the best of me.”

    ---

    Harry moved into Grimmauld Place with his godfather and Remus after the end of the war, but he hasn't quite made it home. Sirius and Remus aren't letting him go so easily, though.
