    Summary

    This is ridiculous. Houses don't jump around merrily on maps. Paths don't change spontaneously of their own accord the moment you walk down them. Owls don't scowl at innocent passers-by with genuine, human disdain, but the great tawny owl perched on a bare branch a few paces ahead is doing just that, and actually, Sirius thinks, owls shouldn't be around in the daytime at all - disdainful ones or otherwise - and truly nothing about this cursed place is acceptable.

    Sirius finds himself in the woods, in a cottage, sipping strawberry-pink tea from a chipped china teacup. Remus has dirt under his fingernails and isn't going anywhere.

    Summary

    After breaking his father’s most absolute law, Sirius is exiled to the shadowy Underworld, where all dead and forgotten things go. There, his dreams are haunted by memories of a lost love he was made to forget, and his waking moments are haunted by Death, the mysterious ruler of the Underworld, who Sirius finds himself increasingly drawn to…

    (very loosely inspired by hades/persephone)

    Summary

    He's absolutely maddening. It happens every summer: this dance, this flirting that Remus has never quite managed to get to the bottom of. Either it's a complete wind-up and Sirius is even more of an entitled bully than Remus has always thought, or it's going to end with Remus letting Sirius bend him over the storage crates behind the catering tent one year. It's one or the other.

    The boys spend a glorious long weekend together at Sirius's family estate in the height of summer.

    Summary

    The sun was high and hot and the world had taken on that wonderful film-grain again, the yellows turning golden and the greens turning yellow and everything deep and rich and wonderful, as if they’d all climbed inside Sirius’s old camera and as if they could stay there for as long as they liked, because the world only existed as far as the rocky horizon, and that was plenty big enough for the four of them.

    It's a Canadian roadtrip adventure! The perfect summer, apart from the way Remus is doing Sirius's head in, and the way Sirius can't figure out why.

    Summary

    There's something blazingly incongruous about Remus in the wintertime. He's golden: sunshine and honeybees, caramel curls and freckles like dappled sunlight. Even his clothes seem borrowed, and temporary, as if he might've just thrown on an extra layer for a moment in the knowledge that his own innate aestival nature would be quite enough to stave off the worst of the chill. Something at home in long balmy nights, and mornings when the gardens teem with life and song. Wonderfully out of place in the winter: a happy visitor to the season, an ember in the frost.

    Christmastime in the Cotswolds: cold hands, crackling fires, and Remus's indefatigable quest for parsnips.
