Summary
Faced with the task of negotiating with a pack of werewolves to join the fight against Voldemort, twenty-two year old James Potter doesn't expect to be entranced by the enigmatic pack leader, yet Sirius Black, the former heir who accidentally slaughtered his pure-blood family as a boy, is unexpectedly charming and utterly unlike what James has always believed about werewolves. James knows this werewolf is trouble, but he can't help his fascination with the dangerous, dark creature, and soon, he finds himself unable to keep away.

Summary
Remus shook his head slowly. “Peter was there. And I saw the body.”
James felt his stomach drop. The body. As if Sirius were no more than a discarded shell.
“Well, I didn’t,” James said flatly, crossing his arms. “If I had, I’d have known it wasn’t him.”
“You were a teenager, James,” Remus said gently. “You panicked. You couldn’t have known what would happen that night. When are you going to forgive yourself?”
***
In 1978, just three weeks before graduation, Sirius Black died a hero - protecting Peter Pettigrew from a Death Eater ambush. Five years later, James Potter is the only one who believes he's still alive.
Until Sirius comes back.
A post-Hogwarts, Marauder Era AU about missing memories, love that defies death, and the dark secrets of the Black family.

Summary
Amid the glittering splendour of a society affair, Euphemia's well-intentioned meddling thrusts Sirius into a front-row seat for James' courtship, forcing him to decide whether to stay silent or risk everything to claim the future he wants.
James winced, his attention diverting to his mother as her elbow, sharp and impossible to ignore, found his ribs. Her expression was tinged with self-satisfaction and just a hint of conspiracy when she leaned in close to murmur something meant for his ears only. Then she straightened with a pleased little smile, and extended her arm toward the young woman who just then joined them. Sirius' gaze followed the motion to the newcomer, appraising by reflex.
She was, objectively speaking, quite pretty. But vapid, he decided, afflicted with the same sort of glossy emptiness as half the posh nobs in attendance. Nothing much going on behind those eyes. Hardly James' type.
His gaze flicked back to James to verify this assessment – and instead found betrayal. The look of polite boredom had vanished, replaced by a flicker of something that looked suspiciously like interest. Sirius felt the smile slide from his face.
