Summary
I’ve never been the kind of girl to keep a diary, even though you would probably argue that I should be, that I should find an outlet for my emotions other than being “self-destructive.” You might have a point. But that’s what you were supposed to be. Or: you were supposed to fix me, to make it so I didn’t need an outlet. If you had a diary, which you don’t because your every thought and feeling is suitable for public consumption, it would be about boys and class and Quidditch. I thought if I stuck close enough, some of that emotional tidiness would rub off on me.
[Concept: letters Sirius wrote to James and promptly destroyed]

Summary
The first thing James wants to do when the Healer calls it—says her mother, like her father, is past saving—is apologize to Sirius. Because through it all, the late-night tears and the drinking and even the way she arrived in the middle of the night with nowhere else to go and called it a victory, James never quite believed that anything could hurt that much. A part of her, and she hopes now that it was a small part, an invisible part, always thought Sirius was overstating things. Even once she met the Blacks, saw the dreariness of Grimmauld despite its grandeur, she simply hadn’t believed the human body could hold that much misery.

Summary
Sirius has been in love with James for as long as she can remember, a feeling so all-encompassing that it even colors memories from before they met, which would bother her if she had any childhood memories worth preserving. She's reasonably sure that he feels the same way, which makes the unfailingly platonic nature of their relationship equal parts baffling and infuriating.
