Summary
This is a story about four friends, three Animagi, two wars and one life. Except, that it isn’t. Not really.
This is a story about silly nicknames and secret Hogwarts rooms, about Potions Roulette and James Potter's birthday rules. About sketches on bathroom mirrors, about Remus Lupin’s desperate grasp on something resembling composure, and a stupid medal.
It is a story about cheese and toads, about a map and a spell and Sirius Black's humour - darker than his last name.
It is about Peter Pettigrew’s obsession with Celestina Warbeck, about Gilderoy Lockhart’s Hogwarts newsletter, about a Ministry pamphlet.About it all crumbling down.
This is a story about prejudice, hurt, loss, and betrayal.
About self-loathing and a crooked perception, about making mistakes and redeeming yourself, sometimes. And sometimes not.Most of all this is a story about love. More than one kind of it.

Summary
Sirius Black is larger than life, impossible to ignore. He smokes, drinks, kisses halfbloods, and laughs like he’s above it all.
His friends think that makes him brave, rebellious and intoxicating in all the right ways.But they’d be horrified if they knew what really went on in his head.
If they saw the real himThe part that still said "yes, sir" when called. The part that still bled for his brother. The part that wondered if he was already too much like them to get out clean.
He works hard to keep the two versions of himself separate. But it’s starting to feel like a losing battle.
Especially when Remus Lupin is looking at him like he might see past the performance— and doesn’t flinch.
“Remember the garden party? When she hexed us over ruining our jackets—”
“Must’ve dreamed that,” Sirius said, too smooth.
Because this was a Gryffindor party, and Gryffindors didn’t talk like that.
Didn’t get hexed by their mothers and call it normal.OR
A canon-compliant, coming-of-age longfic, spanning 1974 to 1979. Found family. Poor coping mechanisms. Slow burn Wolfstar. Morally grey Sirius.

A Court of Truth and Healing by flamesandshadows
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas

Summary
After returning home from Under the Mountain, everyone is struggling to cope with the trauma of Amarantha's reign. Rhys lingers in the shadows at the Spring Court, concerned about Feyre's mental health, and his presence spurs events to unfold in unexpected ways.
The plot covers the events of A Court of Mist and Fury with major alterations. In this AU, we see what could have happened if characters were honest with each other, and talked things out rather than speaking in riddles or just avoiding topics altogether. We also get some actual apologies for egregious behavior that got glossed over in canon (looking at you, Rhys Under the Mountain) and big reveals that get put off to later books or not at all (looking at you, Lucien's paternity).
Relationships in this AU are fully consensual rather than based on bargains made under duress, half-truths, or huge power imbalances, so romances that had an enemies-to-lovers flavor feel more like friends to lovers.
