Summary
In the single second Sirius has had his attention focussed on Remus, the tables have filled with food.
Sirius follows James's gaze to the plates and platters and dishes, all filled to the brim. He recognizes some of it, but most of it is alien. Stuff he’s only seen on billboards around London, but never on a dinner table in front of him.
The smell overwhelms him and his tummy does several excited somersaults as he tries to take it all in.
Just within his view there are several pies, roast vegetables, a stack of Yorkshire puddings so high it obstructs his view of the girl sitting across from him, a honey-glazed ham, several whole chickens, numerous pots of stew, and enough bread baskets to give his mother an aneurysm.
Sirius has never seen this much food in one place before.
He waits, for just a second. Unsure if there’s a signal, unsure he’s allowed at all.
---
Or: Seven times Sirius's childhood trauma fucks up his realationship with food, and one time he manages to overcome it. -

Summary
He doesn’t know how long it’s been. He thinks he can feel the passing of the days. The moon coming up, giving him an ounce of strength, before disappearing again. It’s tricky, because there’s no windows, just the endless nothing, a cell and a dark hallway lit by a couple of torches.
So even if he can feel the moon somewhere in his chest, it’s hard to keep track. He’d tried to, the first few days, back when there’d still been some fight in him. Back when he’d been bracing himself for him to give him a visit.He should have known better. The dark lord doesn’t concern himself with scrawny little waterbending blood traitors. Not even if those blood traitors have stolen something as precious as a horcrux, or if they’d supposedly come back from the dead.
Not that he had been dead. He reminds himself again.
He would be, very soon, he knew. Knew it with the same certainty as he knew they were out in the middle of the ocean. Something deep inside of him could sense it. Sense it looming in the distance. The waves lapping against the ship. A calm certainty.
Or: Waterbender Regulus has been kidnapped and is having a bad time

Summary
“What flavours do you like?” James asks, pointing towards the ice cream display.
Regulus tries to keep a hold of his smile but he can feel it turning into a grimace.
“I don’t know.” He says truthfully.
There are so many options. Too many.
There’s fruity ones, chocolaty ones, ones with nuts and he can see an oreo one and a snickers too. There’s options for whipped cream and syrups and toppings and his head is spinning.
James gives his side a gentle nudge towards the counter and he takes a robotic step forward. He rips his gaze away from the ice cream and looks right into the expectant smile of the girl behind the counter.
or: Regulus is trying to get a degree, recover from an eating disorder, reconnect with his brother and date said brother's best friend, all at the same time.

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
Tim is good at galas.
No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

Summary
Batman could not know that Tim was following him, not tonight. Not with the Joker loose for the first time since Jason died.
At least Tim didn't have to worry about a pack bond letting Batman locate him.
In which a young Tim decides to un-bench himself for Batman's own good, has no sense of self-preservation, makes everything better and worse, and struggles with his self-esteem and place in the pack (or lack thereof).
ABO genfic, standalone but connects to the others in the series.

Summary
Sirius narrowed his eyes. “Christ, you're a brat.”
“What’s a christ,” Regulus blurts, and smacks a hand over his mouth in desperation. “Nevermind. I’m–”
Fine, is what he tries to say, but his throat actually spasms, and the word dies before it's ever born.
Trying again, he clears his throat and carefully selects, “I can handle this myself.”
Or: Regulus Black, many, many cups of ale, a pinch of veritaserum, and one Sirius Black.
