    Summary

    When Remus Lupin met Sirius Black for the first time, he very nearly killed him. Now, it wasn’t entirely his fault, something he would maintain for the rest of his life, and Sirius being as dramatic as he was would often remind the taller, tawny-haired man of his very harrowing near-death experience at the front bumper of his car.

    The truth of it was, Sirius Black was perched on the kerb wearing a bowler hat, poufy shirt-sleeves, a vest, a monocle which actually worked and was the reason his vision was blurred in the one eye, skin-tight leather trousers, and he had a skateboard under his arm. Remus Lupin was behind the wheel of his car which was held together by prayer and twist-ties, and was cruising along at a reasonable speed considering London traffic, when the strange steampunk-themed man dropped the skateboard to the pavement and rolled into traffic.

    Summary

    “Sirius knew complete peace for a split second. Everything looked the same, smelled and sounded the same. He was home.

    Then a sharp intake of breathe made him look to the side and the illusion was broken.

    Remus was standing there with a look of complete and utter shock on his face. There was no warmth of welcome. He took one step back, then two, three stumbling steps away from him, pushing open the swinging door to the back room but not taking his eyes off of Sirius.

    “JAMES!” Remus shouted, too loud, voice breaking desperately “James! He’s back …”

    .

    Gaga inspired fic.

    Sirius is back in town, desperate to win back Remus, his childhood sweetheart, after abandoning him to live a hedonistic party boy lifestyle.

    Regulus and James are not having any of his nonsense! But really they’re too busy making out to stop him.

    Summary

    The cardinal rule of the London Underground is to never, ever make eye contact. It is a rule that, among many others, Sirius tends to follow despite his otherwise rebellious, non-rule-following nature. So the first time he makes eye contact with a human being in the subway comes as much of a shock to him as anyone else. Especially when he's unable to look away.
