And I Won't Run Away

by notsomagicath

Maybe some part of his subconscious will always long for the wild gray-eyed boy that smelled of leather and cigarette smoke. Maybe Sirius in turn yearns for the lanky freckle-faced boy whose every word overflowed with mischief. If that’s the case, what kind of consolation prize is a melancholic professor whose defining trait is the ability to tear himself apart on a whim?Selfishly, Remus loves him still.Inspired by Run Away by Ben Platt

The ghost of the past

by Of_stars_and_moon

"It’s been a long time, Sirius." But his voice still had the raspy and metallic edge to it, the rueful smile still looked the same on his face. Sirius took a moment to take him– the hallucination in; his hair was a bit longer than Sirius remembered and it was cut unevenly like he had done it himself. His face looked tired and grown up from the childish one in Sirius' memories. But his eyes were the same icy silver that matched Sirius'. Sirius Black had lost everyone he loved in the first war, and now with the second war brimming around them, the last thing he expects is seeing someone from his past again
