    Summary

    A follow up to "In Pursuit of Peace", Madara and Tobirama stand on the cusp of marriage to unite their clans, but they soon learn that peace is far more complicated than they ever imagined.

    ---

    Sentiment slows his steps before he reaches the clearing. It was here along the Nara that he first met Madara as an enemy. Now, he would be marrying him before the season changes.

    At his arrival, Madara turns to him, doing nothing to hide the spark in his eyes. Tobirama feels it like a ripple across his skin. His gaze traces the softened lines of Madara’s face. Peace has already been kind to both their clans.

    Summary

    Less than a week into the new school year, a loud knock disrupts the quiet of the fourth-year Slytherin boys' dormitory. The last person Regulus expects to find on the other side of the door is his (somewhat) estranged older brother, Sirius, his handsome face bloodied and bruised.

    Even more shocking than Sirius's sudden appearance, is his request - if they'd be so kind, could he bunk with them in Slytherin 'for a bit'?

    His brother's refusal to explain his abscondence from Gryffindor is irksome, but Regulus lets him in regardless, confident he'll unravel the mystery in due time. After all, Sirius has never been very good at keeping secrets from his younger sibling, and Regulus can be *very* persuasive when he wants to know something.

    Unbeknownst to the Black brothers, however, their choices in that moment set off a chaotic chain of events that will have lasting repercussions for The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, and change the trajectory of their lives for good.

    Summary

    “Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.

    “Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.

    “The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.

    “S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.

    “Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

    ---

    Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?
