    Summary

    “If I were a girl, ‘or something’?” James repeats, just to double check he has heard the question correctly. “Would I think that Remus was…?”

    “Was sort of-” Sirius tries to shrug casually, but James sees right through it. “-handsome. Or something.”

    Summary

    The door swings shut behind them, blocking out the howling wind and the bitter chill and instead there's a gently crackling fire and a patchwork sofa and layers and layers of tapestry rugs spread out over an old oak floor. The air is so toasty Sirius could weep, and he can smell chocolate and woodsmoke and something that might be peppermint, and then someone is taking his coat and grinning at him and he thinks, maybe, he did die out there on the icy roads. Maybe this is his own personal Elysium, and as he blinks stupidly at the man in front of him and takes in his freckles and his hat-flattened curls and the way his jumper has little knitted reindeer woven into the pattern, he thinks death maybe isn't so bad, actually.

    Remus is the owner of a Christmas tree farm deep in the New Forest. Sirius is a curmudgeonly writer who doesn't believe in Christmas. It's snowing, there's a roaring fire, and we all know how this is going to go.

    Summary

    “Leonard Bernstein was a fucking god,” Sirius says intensely, as though Remus would have fought him on it.

    “I like West Side Story,” Remus offers, taking his own turn to laugh when Sirius’ looks at him like Remus has just said he thinks shag carpeting is a very admirable design choice.

    “This is so much more than West Side story could ever be,” he explains reverently, gesturing with the album in a way that makes his torso look particularly ridiculous for the square expanse hugged to his chest. “This is inner turmoil, and loss, and love, and—and pure fucking love for music itself.”

    “I’m not arguing,” Remus says, both hands up in his defense.

    “Good, because you would lose. What’s number two?”

    There’s a new neighbor across the way during Remus’ most stressful semester yet, and he’s made a...creative first impression.

    Summary

    Sirius’s thoughts are a slow-moving, impending disaster. How he wants to pin Remus up against the cupboards, to crowd him into a corner; how he wants to intertwine their fingers, to brush his lips against Remus’s forehead, his jaw. Instead, he settles for ducking his head and sliding a finger through the belt loop of Remus's jeans—a ridiculous gesture so utterly intimate, even for the pair of them, that he only allows it because he’s just drunk enough.

    “Stop stealing my bloody clothes, Lupin.” He says, very quietly.

    Remus looks up at him, eyes dark, and murmurs pleasantly: “Better learn to do your own laundry then, Black. Consider it my fee.”

    ***

    It was an impossible thing, living with Remus Lupin--but Sirius was doing it anyway.
