Summary
Sirius Black is larger than life—impossible to ignore. He smokes, drinks, kisses halfbloods, and laughs like he’s above it all.
His friends think that makes him brave—rebellious and intoxicating in all the right ways.But they’d be horrified if they knew what really went on in his head.
If they saw the real himThe part that still said "yes, sir" when called. The part that still bled for his brother. The part that wondered if he was already too much like his family to get out clean.
He works hard to keep the two versions of himself separate. But it’s starting to feel like a losing battle.
Especially when Remus Lupin is looking at him like he might see past the performance— and doesn’t flinch.
“Remember the garden party? When she hexed us over ruining our jackets—”
“Must’ve dreamed that,” Sirius said—too quick, too smooth.
Because this was a Gryffindor party, and Gryffindors didn’t talk like that.
Didn’t get hexed by their mothers and call it normal.OR
A canon-compliant, coming-of-age longfic, spanning 1974 to 1979. Found family. Poor coping mechanisms. Slow burn Wolfstar. Morally grey Sirius.

Summary
When Bran climbs the wrong tower and lives to tell the tale, the entire course of the realm begins to shift. Lord Eddard Stark refuses Robert’s offer to become Hand of the King—setting off a chain of revelations, reckonings, and royal fallout before the wheelhouse ever leaves Winterfell. The burden of raising a pack of wolves in a kingdom full of lions hits Ned full force.

At home.

Summary
Robb Stark loses his war and bends the knee to Tywin Lannister, who takes him prisoner instead of killing him. In the blink of an eye, he goes from someone to no one. Haunted by his mistakes and living in Tywin's ironhanded custody, Robb is forced to adjust to his new reality as a king without a crown, a lord without a castle, a squire to his enemy, and a son with only memories left of the father he lost.
A Robb-Stark-Lives alternate history with a lot of angst, a little humor, and the slow journey of two adversaries trying to figure each other out.
