Love & Scars
Izzie has a talent for two things: missing the Hogwarts Express and hiding what's waiting for her at home. Sixth year starts the same as the rest - arriving early, alone, and pretending she's fine. Sirius Black has never paid much attention to her. She's Remus's friend, quiet in all the ways Sirius is loud, and nothing he needs to think about. Until he does. As their unlikely friendship shifts into something neither of them knows how to name, the people who are supposed to love them most become the greatest danger they face. A curse. A secret. Parents who would rather destroy than lose control. Sirius has never been good at feelings. Izzie has never had the luxury of having them. But some things are harder to curse away than others. Love & Scars is an angsty, slow-burn Marauders Era romance about two people learning that love is not the same thing as survival - but sometimes, if you're lucky, it can be both.Complete
Dream away (Remus/Sirius; Rated T; 17,5k words)

Or: The one where Remus's head is a messy place. Quote: "You once said that your perfect world would be 'never without one of us', but I didn't believe that you'd still think so. Where did we take the wrong turn, then?" Remus had to look away from Sirius. His words didn't belong here, not in this garden, not in this sunny day. There was sharp pain hidden behind those words that could cut a heart open that made him want to steer away. "Stop being so weird and come help me. Dinner won't make itself."Complete
