Summary
Searching for redemption and something to devote his time to after the war, Sirius Black adopts a child. Now, fourteen years later, Harry is the spitting image of famous Quidditch player, James Potter, and shows up on James’s doorstep with a simple statement: "I think you might be my Dad". James and Sirius suddenly find themselves thrown together for the first time since Hogwarts. Older. Slightly wiser. And desperate to be near each other, no matter the risk.

Summary
Six years in Azkaban. Sirius had a second chance in his hands, and he already knew what he wanted to use it for. He wanted to be Harry's godfather. He'd work with the annoying muggles, jump through any hoops Dumbledore set up for him - anything to rebuild this relationship that he never thought he'd have the chance to repair.
Or: Sirius Black is acquitted in early 1988, and the dominoes start to fall.
