    Summary

    At five-years old, Remus Lupin is kidnapped by Pirate Captain Fenrir Greyback and thrown aboard a ship full of thieves and murderers. Over the years, Remus earns his reputation as a formidable navigator - never speaking in public, and always keeping his face covered by a mask.

    One thing is certain: there is no one who hates Remus more than wealthy aristocrat, Sirius Black.

    When Remus flees Greyback's ship and tries to forge a new life for himself, it's just his luck that Sirius finds him there too. But Sirius has never seen Remus' face. He doesn't know of Remus' true identity - that 'Moony' is the same pirate he considers his enemy.

    To survive, Remus must hide who he really is, even if it means suffering the company of a man he'd rather kill.

    Summary

    Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.

    Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.

    Was that fate, Sirius wondered?

    He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.

    Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.

    Summary

    At the end of first year, Harry pocketed the Philosopher's Stone- in a secret pocket that everyone else missed.

    Now, two years later, Harry is in his third year, his friends are having the time of their lives in Hogsmeade, there's an escaped mass murderer running around, and Harry is going stir-crazy. Fortunately, the twins have a solution! Although- they're going to need something in return, and it needs to be good.

    Good thing Harry kept that Stone, huh?

    And then things go completely bat-shit crazy.

    (featuring the Marauders vs 1993, an exhausted Professor Lupin, a bewildered Harry Potter, and an opportunistic Hermione Granger)
