Summary
Sirius Black never wanted to belong to anyone. Raised among Covey, he spent his life performing, doing things his way.
When he meets Remus Lupin, a kind-hearted blacksmith from District 9, Sirius finds himself falling in love despite his free-spirited nature.
Everything changes the day the Reaping comes, and Remus steps in to protect the love of his life, sealing his fate as another tribute with his act of defiance.
Now, trapped in the Corvium’s deadly game, as the moon slips into eclipse and the weight of their fates presses down, Remus and Sirius don’t know if the next sunrise will bring a Victor—or a final, blood-soaked end.

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
“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
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.
