Summary
“Remus bit his lip, unable to contain his smile as he stared down at the magazine spread before him. He didn’t usually buy magazines of this calibre— preferring to read a good old fashioned newspaper or National Geographic. But when Sirius — the man he was currently, casually, seeing — had mentioned he was going to be featured, well, Remus couldn’t help but be curious.”
***
Remus Lupin, a divorced, single parent and History teacher, has caught feelings for Sirius Black — an up and coming model who he has been casually seeing.
Which is fine! How could he not catch feelings for such a beautiful, charming, man?
The issue is… he hasn’t told Sirius about Teddy. His son.

Summary
“I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
***
After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Summary
contrapasso [con · tra · pas · so]
the punishment of souls by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.The first time they meet is in Copenhagen.
Regulus is on holiday, halfway to drunk off his ass in a dingy back alley pub. He’s never believed in love at first sight—in fact, he thinks it’s a rather ridiculous concept—but the first time he catches sight of him across alcohol-sticky floors and air thick with smoke, Regulus might be persuaded to change his mind.
