Summary
It’s been months since disaster struck inside the Black Family home—since everything fell apart.
Now, Regulus is on his way to, what he can confidently say is a “disaster in the making”; one, that even he believes won’t last. After the last several homes collapsing, he’s just about given up on finding, what his social worker likes to call “his forever home”.
But, at some point, he starts to believe, finding his “forever home” doesn’t quite exist. Can you even blame him?
With secrets in tow, he enters his most recent permanent placement—the Potters. Whilst he tries to navigate a new school, an unfamiliar family, and his guilt—Regulus struggles to keep his guard up. Can he trust this new family and the fragile connections he’s starting to form, or will the ghosts of his past ruin everything once again?
This is a Modern Marauders Era, High School, Foster Care AU.

Summary
Non-magical modern AU - Marauders/Wolfstar
Sirius attends a charity rock gig organised by his best friend's girlfriend, and the tall, quiet bassist catches his eye...
Basically just a thing I wrote after listening to Belle & Sebastian's 'Dress up in you' a million times.
Quite sexy.

Summary
For months, Sirius has been opening the door whenever Snivellus has knocked, and he doesn't know why. He hates it. Hates him. He tells himself that any warm body in his bed is better than a night alone, even if there's really only one person he's ever wanted to spend the nights with. Determined to end it, he tells Snape to stop coming around. Determined to keep it going, Snape offers secrets from the other side to "pay" for Sirius's services.
Some moments just aren't making sense to Sirius. Most notably, why is it that he's incapable of saying no? And what happens when he ends up on Remus's doorstep one evening after a particularly brutal encounter?
And can Regulus really help them end the war?Bookmarked by Afewmonkeys

Summary
COMPLETED
Sirius always tends to go off radar during the breaks, and this summer, things aren't any different, even while he and Remus hooked up the evening before the break.
His friends soon find out, though, that Sirius’s homelife is a lot more messed up than he ever let on. They set on to show him he doesn't have to feign a perfect life to be loved and accepted.
But just as things are getting better, something unthinkable happens, and the Marauders are faced with the frightening possibility of losing Sirius forever.
