    Summary

    Sirius Black's first impression of Hogwarts is that it looks old and dirty. It is also smaller than he was expecting. But, at eleven, he is already used to being disappointed and more than capable of taking matters into his own hands.

    * * *

    This is the story of how the industrious Black Heir made the most of his misfortune. More specifically, how exactly he was able to spend seven years living in a rocky hovel in the middle-of-nowhere-Scotland among the ill-mannered peasantry without Avada Kedavra-ing himself.

    Naturally, because this is the story of Sirius Orion Black, it contains, sex, murder, scandal and intrigue. Only an idiot wouldn't have worked out that much already.

    Summary

    He was Lord Sirius Black III, of the Noble and Most Ancient House, Duke of Sutherland, Marquess of Stafford, and Master of Godric Hall. He would not be sent into a tailspin by a simple tailor. He would not pine over a meagre suit. He was stunning, dripping in silver and black and deep shades of purple. It was him, his beauty, his body, not someone’s craft, that made him the powerful, imposing figure that commanded the attention of every insipid soul out there. More, they demanded. And he would be more. He would be everything.

    After the death of his father, Sirius takes up his place at the head of Britain's most influential aristocratic family. And Sirius is absolutely fine with it. After all, he has the wealth, the titles, the huge estate - plus everything money can buy. What more could he possibly want?
    But there’s something missing, a hollow ache he can’t ignore and that he's apparently determined to fill with suits. Which explains why he finds himself returning again and again to the quaint little atelier across the Welsh border. It certainly has nothing to do with the attractive tailor and his stupid smirk.

    Summary

    Mostly canon-compliant Marauders-at-Hogwarts fic where each year is basically an entire book with a full plot.

    Or

    Strong Moonwater-centric fic where Regulus is actually the golden key that unlocks the entire universe – because why do only Padfoot and Prongs get ride-or-die besties?

    Or

    That one where the Marauders secretly brew Polyjuice to trade places with Remus on full moon days and help him avoid suspicion – think body-swapping with your crush trope.

    Or

    That one where, through a series of extenuating circumstances, Remus and Sirius have three first kisses. Because, naturally, third time's a charm, right?

    Summary

    Then the door to the dorm room opens a third time and Remus Lupin sits bolt upright, face pillow forgotten, as the pale boy with long dark hair flicks his trunk into their room with a haughty wave of his wand and extends his hand: “I’m Sirius Black.”

    Remus’ mouth falls open as he breathes in. This one has killed.

    OR: Sirius wants to kiss Remus. Remus wants to eat Sirius. Sirius thinks this is metaphorical. It is not.
