Summary
James is the natural confidant of both Remus and Sirius. When they both swear him to secrecy on the same topic, James is stuck watching his friends pine for each other without being able to say a word to bring them together. A lesser man might shrink from the challenge of finding a way to break his promise without breaking his promise, but not James Potter!

Summary
There’s a new hire in Research. He’s small, and that is the word. He isn’t short, or squat – scrawny is closer to the mark but implies a sort of wiry lopsidedness that doesn’t fit right. He’s just small, like if you took an average sized person and scaled them down. He walks with a cane and keeps his head lowered. He wears some sort of brace or glove on his right hand. Silvery marks pepper his neck and jaw. He doesn’t seem to talk much.
“I’ve got a name,” Sasha reports, perching on the side of Tim’s desk. She’s just back from a coffee-machine gossip with Rachel, who had been ignored by the new hire in favour of staring at his shoes. “Jonathan.”
“Compensating for size with syllables, classic move.” Tim peers around her to mentally affix the name to the hunched figure curled into the corner desk. “Word of advice, avoid at all costs a one-night stand with an un-shortened ‘Bartholemew.’”

Wishes on Stars by Quietlemonhush, TherestheSnitch for BurningAurora
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Remus is big now. He’s five, and he’s never dared use a star wish before. He’s wanted to, sure. Like when Albin stole his train and broke it. Or when Marcy said she was going to tell her mum that he’d hit her, even when he didn’t. He didn’t wish on stars then, even though it seemed really important at the time.
That should count in his favor, right? If he makes a wish now, and he never ever ever has before, it will be granted, right?
—
Remus makes a wish and gains a friend.

Of Black Dogs and Secrets by lotrharrypotter3

Summary
What if the boys were not friends at school and Remus spent his full moons alone? And what if he stumbled upon a black dog in the Forbidden Forest one day?
And what if Sirius suddenly got very interested in what James's dorm mate was doing every month?OR
"There was… a dog. A big, shaggy black dog. It was probably the last thing he expected so the momentary reaction was to take a breath, before quickly remembering himself and how he was the one with the wand. Besides, he of all people should know better than to be afraid of canines."
***
Note: The work is to be edited completely because the author is not entirely happy with some parts.

Summary
Exuberant, proud, genderfluid, cheerleader, self-described narcissist. All things to describe Sirius Black. It's a stark contrast from the self-imposed loner, Journalist, and Gender Studies major Remus Lupin who is thrown into Sirius' world after accepting a project for a class. When the two worlds collide, both lives are changed for the better.
Sirius leant forward a bit, meeting Remus’ eyes. “Are you asking if I go for cute boys in beanies and jumpers, Remus Lupin?”
Remus’ face went hot. “Er. No. I mean…er…”
Sirius laughed. “Find your chill, love. I’m joking.” He winked at Remus and sat back again.

Summary
When the professors at Hogwarts decide to roll in a new assignment for the prefects, Regulus is tasked with writing an essay on an impossible topic. Some have to write about their pets, others have to discuss their favourite book. Instead of something simple, he has to write about the person who raised him. Oh, and then he has to present his essay to the whole school.
Regulus doesn’t know how he’ll find a single positive thing to say about his parents. Walburga and Orion aren’t exactly the warm and fuzzy type. He’s quite sure he’s doomed, until a chance meeting with his brother brings forth a humbling realisation.
[Or, Regulus writes about the person who raised him, Sirius is trying his best and James is a good boyfriend]
