Summary
By the time it’s dark, there’s a fire crackling before them. The tent is set up. There are two chairs propped up by the fire. They have cooked and eaten dinner, and they are sitting in silence. It reminds Sirius of the dinners at home after he got sorted into Gryffindor, or after his mother found the letters from his friends, or lately, whenever he dares to show his face around the house at all. What lives in that space isn’t actually silence. Silence is absence. This thing that hangs between him and his mother, now between him and Remus, is the presence of something suffocating and cutting. It doesn’t serve as a placeholder for noise, it serves as a punishment. It cleaves him to the bone, flays him until he wants to cry. The soft, knotting feeling in his chest he feels when he wants to let tears out but can’t is rising in him. Sirius doesn’t know how to kill it except to hiss, “Well if you’re mad at me just fucking say so.”

Summary
But the stage lights blur out the crowd and Sirius gets to his knees in front of Remus with their guitar and bass between them, and he does it again in their hotel room, has been doing it since their first tour, has been wanting to do it since he first learned about wanting, the kind that ruins you.
a band, a tour, and the kind of undefined relationship that drives you insane.

Summary
They’re walking side by side, crowded on the too small pavement. The hum of the late-September air rustling the leaves and pushing them both along. There’s music faraway and hushed, floating through someone’s window, too quiet to place but Remus focuses on it instead of their boots echoing off the concrete and Sirius’ breathing, skittered and offbeat from his own. The sun is setting, the lamplights along the pavement lighting every fifteenth square in a sickly yellow glow. Everytime they pass under one, the light creates shadows on Sirius’ face. Remus tries not to notice the long, spindly shadows of his eyelashes, the accentuated concave of his cheekbone, and the way the light envelopes the tips of Sirius’ hair in gold, embers around black, like he’s on fire. But Remus has never been good at ignoring Sirius— even now, with anxiety filling his stomach like rainwater and a fit of pique low and twisting beneath his ribs, even now, he wants to reach out and tuck a strand behind Sirius’ ear, let himself be burned.
or:
Remus has never been good at ignoring Sirius and maybe, just maybe, he finds he doesn't want to ignore these feelings any longer.

Summary
"If he closed his eyes, he could have been there again, back in the cold river, water rising up to his shoulders, with a beautiful boy who wouldn’t leave him alone."
It is 1865.
Stuck in his house with his overbearing parents, Remus Lupin cannot shake the feeling that he's missing something.
Returning from abroad after the death of his mother, Sirius Black is now the owner of a massive estate and he has the attitude to match. He has everything, including people who are determined to take everything from him.
It takes seconds for Remus to know he will never hate anyone as much as he does Sirius Black.
