    Summary

    “Know him? Almost every single one of my songs is about him.”

    When Sirius Black is fifteen years old, he meets Remus Lupin, a quiet boy with honey eyes and scars that tell a story he won't share. For a boy who dreams of being a musician but can't finish a single song, Remus is a melody he'd get lost in forever just to learn it by heart.

    When Remus Lupin is twenty-five years old, he meets Sirius Black again. In a cruel twist of fate, he finds himself helping the man who broke his heart achieve his lifelong dream, leaving Remus with the impossible question: are the songs the world is falling in love with about him?

    Or

    In which Sirius and Remus share the same birthday and discover that some melodies are worth waiting six years to hear again.

     

    (A story about love like a wildflower, the scars of time, the sweetness of honey, and the fragile threads of a melody that never fades.)

    Summary

    Harry is full of confidence as he enters the French Ministry on a sunny June morning. He's prepared for this meeting. Overprepared, in fact. Ready for any question they can throw at him. Primed for success.

    But as it turns out, there’s one thing Harry couldn’t prepare for: his interpreter. The person assigned to whisper in his ear all week; the distractingly sexy bastard with a smirking mouth and clever tongue.

    Apparently, Harry's mission this week isn't just to bring the Quidditch World Cup home to England; it's to do it without falling in love with Draco bloody Malfoy.

    Or

    Harry falls in love in Paris.

    Summary

    “You don’t know the first thing about me.”

    “I could say the same to you.”

    “You’re pretty easy to figure out,” Remus snapped, “Spoilt rich boy drinks himself to death every night and terrorises the locals. It’s a bit of a stereotype, isn’t it?”

    Eyes glinting, Sirius tilted his head, and he was speaking, but Remus was too distracted by how close their faces suddenly were, by how he could feel the heat radiating off Sirius, and what he could smell; coconut-scented shampoo, his aftershave, and a dark lick of smoke.

    “Am I terrorising you?” He whispered.

    Remus bit down on his tongue, “Yes.”

    “How terrible,” Sirius tilted his head to the side, “Someone should stop me.”

    Remus is stuck in his painfully whimsical home-town, juggling multile jobs while dreaming of a future beyond it all, when Sirius Black arrives, carrying a dangerous amount of personal baggage and a penchant for trouble. To put it lightly, they don't get on.

    Summary

    Sirius Black’s smirk is the first thing he notices. He’s gotten more confident since the last time they spoke, or maybe he’s a better actor than Remus gave him credit for.

    “Feeling alright, Lupin? You look…” Black looks him up and down, bold eyebrows quirking up on his forehead, “Unwell…”

    “Fine,” Remus pushes away from the wall and busies himself washing his hands. Sirius steps up to the sink next to him, watching him through the mirror. 

    “Everyone loses,” Sirius says. “I mean… Not us, but you won’t be the only ones to lose your first preseason game.”

    “Fuck off,” Remus rolls his eyes and shakes water off of his hands.

    “Sorry,” Sirius grins. “Didn’t think you’d be so sensitive.”

    Or, the Heated Rivalry AU of my dreams.

    Summary

    Sirius is used to being adored. That’s probably why he can’t stop thinking about Remus Lupin, the new kid who somehow already hates him... right?
