Summary
Snape watched Sirius warily as the pureblood boy looked him over, his hands moving up to rub at his throat as he glared at the boy who’d pinned him to the wall. However, now that Sirius was actually looking he could see the small tremor. The fear that Snape had towards Remus. The scars covered by cleverly placed sleeves the same way Sirius knew how to do for his own markings from his parents. How Snape was alone, just like he was.
“Where’s Evans?” Sirius asked warily.
“I don’t need her to fight my battles,” Snape snapped at him. Sirius caught it though. The hurt in his eyes. The self-inflicted anger.
“What, did you two have a falling out?”
Snape blinked before sneering defensively. “Why would I tell you?”
Now normally, this was Sirius’s opportunity to mess with Snape, say something hurtful and see if he could get a laugh out of his friends.
But he didn’t have his friends with him anymore, and it didn’t seem like Snape did either.
“Because Remus is pissed at me right now so I know how it feels if you wanted to talk about it.”

Summary
A series of unfortunate events lead to Severus becoming a reluctant babysitter of four Weasleys, his godson's friends, two slightly touched in the head purebloods, and a Longbottom.
Perhaps he should have just stayed in Azkaban.
It would require a lot less "feelings".

Summary
"[Ernie] dropped his voice until it was barely more than a whisper, and said, “That’s probably why You-Know-Who wanted to kill him in the first place. Didn’t want another Dark Lord competing with him. I wonder what other powers Potter’s been hiding?” "(Chamber of Secrets page 199)
What if, that day, someone stood up to Ernie and it changed everything?

Summary
“What are you doing here, Severus?” Remus asked instead of answering, the gnawing rot of exhaustion returning quicker than he would ever admit. At least it seemed his migraine was gone, along with most of the usual aches and pains from the full moon. Though, the sharp pain in his leg had him recalling a half-dreamed ramble from Snape about a broken tibia.
"I came here looking for a friend who disappeared,” he snapped.
Remus winced.
***
Remus hasn't actually lived since that Halloween night in 1981, but an old friend comes knocking on his door to let him know there might still be something to live for.

Summary
“... The public is warned that Black is armed and extremely dangerous. A special hot line has been set up, and any sighting of Black should be reported immediately.” (pg. 17 Prisoner of Azkaban)
A crash came from the kitchen as a small boy on the cusp of being a teenager dropped the plate he’d been drying. Wide, green eyes rested on the small television his uncle and cousin were glued to, the picture of the gaunt man hauntingly familiar.
Even as his uncle and aunt rounded on him to scream about the plate, the boy only uttered a soft whisper.
“Sirius?”
