    Summary


    Remus and Sirius, Moony and Padfoot, dumb and dumber - whatever you wanted to call them, they always came as a pair.

    Now, Remus didn't know exactly when he fell in love with his best friend, but at some point, he did, and he'd been falling ever since.
    He'd learnt how to put up with it, learnt to love Sirius from behind the glass, learnt how to waste time, until one fretful night in spring, when his best friend showed up at his door, covered in blood and crying, and everything changed.

    the story of two losers getting into a hopeless amount of trouble with the police, with themselves, and mostly with eachother - young, dumb and full of existential dread, an escape from the law, silly boys and 90's music, shoegaze and tiny cars, and a love too strong to name.

    Summary

    “Please, I was just trying to—” Remus starts again.

    “—and I just got custody of him not that long ago and we’re fucking trying, alright? Also, he’s deaf, for Christ’s sake. That’s why he’s—”

    The sound of the world drops away, and Remus is extending both of his hands. On the top of each palm is a hearing aid. The other man’s mouth moves for a few more words, but Remus isn’t sure what he’s saying—he’s never been all that great at lipreading. When his pale-colored eyes stumble over his outstretched hands, his face grows flushed. Finally, mercifully, he shuts up.

    Or:

    Grocery store stocker Remus Lupin teaches Sirius Black, a newly-appointed guardian to his deaf godson, how to use American Sign Language.

    Summary

    College was supposed to be a fresh start. The Party is scattered across nearby campuses, close enough to pretend nothing has changed. Will is finally happy or at least trying to be with his new boyfriend, Carlton. Mike tells himself he doesn’t care. He tells himself a lot of things.

    Between shared houses, crowded college parties, and a friend group that never really learned how to separate, they keep falling into familiar patterns: late nights, quiet check-ins, and Mike noticing things he probably shouldn’t anymore. Everything Mike thought he understood about himself starts to unravel. Some realizations come too late. Some feelings refuse to stay buried.

    And some feelings don’t fade just because you pretend they have.

    Summary

    Something catches Will's eye as he scans the room; it's a page Mike has left out from one of his works. He's about to shut the door when he spots the title scrawled messily across the top:

    'The Cleric and The Paladin’.

    Underneath, ‘Chapter 7: Crazy Together’.

    Will’s stomach sinks.

    He doesn’t breathe as he rifles through years of half-finished canvases and stacked sketchbook. Not until he finds it.

    It's a painting. It's dusty, and it's hard to make it out, but there it is. Mike's hand placed on Will's. The canvas is old, worn. Loved.

    He turns it over, hoping he’s wrong. Praying he doesn’t see what he knows he will see.

    His own handwriting, scribbled on the back.

    It reads, ‘Crazy Together.’

     

    Or

     

    Will and Mike haven't seen each other for three years. Will has fallen into a depression that feels impossibly large and inevitable. But when he receives a letter from Mike, something ancient yet familiar burns in him. There is a story Mike wanted to tell so badly, but couldn't. There is a story Mike will rewrite. There is history Mike will rewrite.

    Summary

    Sirius Black didn’t mean to end up in a band—he just wanted out of his family’s orbit and into something that didn’t hurt. University was supposed to be a clean break, but it turns out baggage doesn’t care about change of address. Between tense silences with his brother Regulus, strained family dinners, and nights that end in too much noise and not enough sleep, Sirius finds escape in music—and in Remus Lupin, the quiet bassist with a sharp tongue and a guarded heart.

    As the band finds its sound, Sirius starts to lose his footing, caught between who he was raised to be and who he’s trying to become. With every late-night jam session and almost-touch, the line between friends and something more starts to blur. But building something real with Remus means letting go of the past—and Sirius has never been good at that.

    An university AU full of band rehearsals, shared cigarettes, unresolved brotherhood, and the kind of love that doesn’t play by the rules.
