Summary
Remus Lupin leads a quiet life helping his aunt run her very successful salon in the heart of London. Though she believes he should want better for himself, Remus is content with his gentle existence which affords him a small space in which to indulge in his love of books and tea. Sirius Black is his aunt's heart-throb star stylist and the subject of Remus' every daydream. When Sirius catches Remus reading on his break, they strike up a relationship based around books. Through these conversations that eventually spill away from the salon, Remus finds his heart pulling him closer to what he believes unattainable and Sirius wonders if there's room in Remus' gentle life for a lonely and world-weary stylist.

Summary
When Remus finds a broken marble statue of a beautiful man, he has no idea it could potentially be the turning point he's been seeking. All he needs is his mother's belief in fairy tales and his father's trust in the brightest, most beautiful star in the winter sky.

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.

Summary
It's been nearly ten years since the end of the war, and Hermione Granger is finally (mostly) happy. Her research at the Ministry is going exceptionally well, she's almost certainly going to be nominated for a prestigious Merlin Award for Magical Excellence that would have her name synonymous with magical theory across the world, and she's managed to keep all her pot plants alive over the summer.
But as things start to go strangely wrong in Wizarding Britain, Hermione must reluctantly team up with the only person who could ever threaten her chances of winning the greatest academic achievement a witch could hope for- Draco Malfoy.
When their investigation of a possessed Ministry intern quickly becomes far more complicated than either of them could've ever imagined, the pair must find a way to work together and prevent a catastrophe that could shatter the very foundations of the magical world.
Working with your arch-rival isn't easy, and as long-buried secrets and plots start to come to light, Hermione and Draco soon learn that demons may be the least of their problems…

Summary
The probability of meeting the same stranger twice in London is low. But three times? Well, that’s pretty damn impossible. It’d take fate, destiny and some divine intervention from the universe to have them meet again.
“Sirius?”
...Maybe the universe really is looking out for him.
or: Sirius, Remus, missing trains and the embarrassing pursuit of happiness.

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
Summer, 1977. With the full moon approaching, Sirius heads up to the Lupins' countryside cottage to make himself useful. Or to make a complete and utter arse out of himself, because really, that's all he can seem to do around Remus these days.
