    Summary

    They’re so close. Sirius can feel Remus’ hot, bated breath on his skin. He can see every one of Remus’ honey freckles and the white spiderwebs that course through his scar tissue. He can hear every one of Remus’ sharp inhales and shaky exhales; It’s the only sound he can hear above his own heart racing through his veins.

    And his heart is doing that —racing. But it’s not like a thud, thud, thud in his chest or even a soft, fluttering sound like a warm, Irish lilt. The sound is more like a swoosh, like a pendulum swing, jumping from white-hot anticipation to cold-blooded fear and back again.

    -or-

    Remus is a storm blowing through Sirius’ small town and Sirius is laid out on the waterlogged cobblestone streets waiting to be washed away.

    Summary

    The black kohl along his water line is smudged, black flecks of it dusting his cheekbone. His hair is still flying everywhere, whipping across his face. He’s a mess. He’s the blurred edges of a photograph. He’s a heartbeat and stinging lungs. He’s the rattling behind Remus’ ribcage. And Sirius grins at him, tongue between teeth —illecebrous and tantalising and all things beautiful and dangerous— and all the air rushes out of Remus’ lungs in one fell swoop. He’s lightheaded and dizzy and burning.

    or:

    Flat-sharing, jealousy, grocery shopping, a war, a party, a broken sink, a pub quiz, and a love that won’t sit still.

    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

    It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea.

    Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.
