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.

Summary
“Harry’s been behaving strangely.”
“Strangely?” Arthur asked, taking a sip of his tea. “How so?”
Sirius tapped a long finger against the table. He briefly wondered how to best phrase his concerns, but ultimately, the plainest question came out of him.
“Did you notice Harry has a habit of doing the dishes?”
--
With the Second Wizarding War over, Sirius is more than excited to put everything behind him and raise Harry as his own. However, he and Remus begin to notice odd and troubling behaviors from Harry. Without answers from the source, Sirius turns to Harry's previous guardians--Molly and Arthur Weasley--and learns Harry is still making adjustments from his time with the Dursley's.

Summary
“Potter,” Minerva stated, blinking rapidly. She looked behind him, checking for more guests. “How can I help you?”
Help. Harry’s shoulders sagged. Minerva had been one of the few to ask him that question, and have Harry believe she actually wanted the full answer.
“Professor,” he said. He cleared his throat, wilting under Minerva’s hawkish stare. “Sorry, I know you’re Headmistress now. I can’t shake the habit. I, uh...” Harry rocked on his toes, back and forth. “I’ve been seeing therapists from the Ministry. But none of them are clicking. And you... You sent me a letter, recently, saying you’ve noticed your students seeing Thestrals.”
--
Sequel to "Your Answer". Harry is at his wit's end, trying to find a therapist that suits him. With some help from Minerva, he settles on the unassuming, hard-hitting Dr. Ashford--the same therapist, interestingly enough, Draco Malfoy visits.
Brought together once more, Harry finds an unlikely companion in Draco, in between sessions. Draco, whose glare has softened. Draco, who no longer relies on his name to get by.
Draco, who might know Harry's struggles a little better than Harry gives him credit for.

Summary
In the wake of his father’s death Sirius Black finds himself living on the North Carolina coast in the beach-themed love shack that Orion shared with his mistress. His plan for the summer is to finish writing his novel, get the house ready so that he can list it for sale, and get back to New York before the leaves can even begin to change.
Too bad his former college nemesis and fellow author Remus Lupin lives right next door, just as surly and withdrawn as he remembers him being, throwing a wrench into all of his carefully laid out plans.

Summary
“Your dry wit does not help me, Moony!” James twisted to frown at him, threading his hands through his thick hair in visible distress. “I just want to understand what I’m doing wrong! Do I not shower her with affection? Do I not give her flowers? Do I not write poems–”
“I didn’t know you’d written poems.” Peter popped his head up from the armchair with a loud, resounding hiccup. “What kind of poems?”
“Limericks, mostly.” sighed James. “The occasional haiku if I’m feeling inspired.”
“Let me try.” Slouching against the sofa, Sirius grinned, his legs spread wide. “There once was a redhead named Lily, who made young James Potter act silly! She jinxed him with bats and bogeys and rats, but James only thought with his willy!”
Remus threw a cushion at Sirius’ face.
The summer of '76. Remus wants Sirius. Sirius doesn't know what he wants.

Summary
It's a rainy autumn morning when Sirius finally does it. The choice of weather seems to be a little overdramatic, but at least Sirius's soaked coat matches the feeling inside of him.
Not yet 24, homeless, with a family he just fled from, and no friends he can rely on. He obviously can't stay in London. It's a big city, but not big enough so that the weird acquaintances of his father wouldn't find him. He isn't quite ready to leave England yet, so there really is just one logical answer: the south. Somewhere on the coast. Sunny weather, fish and chips, and open-minded people. That's what comes to Sirius's mind when thinking about the south.
Well, it's still October, but maybe he's right about the food and the people.

Summary
There's something blazingly incongruous about Remus in the wintertime. He's golden: sunshine and honeybees, caramel curls and freckles like dappled sunlight. Even his clothes seem borrowed, and temporary, as if he might've just thrown on an extra layer for a moment in the knowledge that his own innate aestival nature would be quite enough to stave off the worst of the chill. Something at home in long balmy nights, and mornings when the gardens teem with life and song. Wonderfully out of place in the winter: a happy visitor to the season, an ember in the frost.
Christmastime in the Cotswolds: cold hands, crackling fires, and Remus's indefatigable quest for parsnips.

Summary
The sun was high and hot and the world had taken on that wonderful film-grain again, the yellows turning golden and the greens turning yellow and everything deep and rich and wonderful, as if they’d all climbed inside Sirius’s old camera and as if they could stay there for as long as they liked, because the world only existed as far as the rocky horizon, and that was plenty big enough for the four of them.
It's a Canadian roadtrip adventure! The perfect summer, apart from the way Remus is doing Sirius's head in, and the way Sirius can't figure out why.

Summary
It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea.
Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.

Summary
The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.
