Summary
“Have you been thinking about it a lot today? The war?” Remus questioned.
It was a question Remus had asked him nearly every day since they found him. Sirius never stopped thinking about it, truth be told, and he was sure that Remus knew this as it was a truth he lived as well. Asking was just his way of trying to get Sirius to talk about it. The mind healers said it would help to talk about it. With Remus, or James, or Lily. But Sirius refused. He didn’t want to burden them as they had enough baggage of their own to carry.
And yet, something about the way Remus was looking at him now, in the safety of their home, Sirius felt the words fall out of his mouth, words he had been holding back for so long, selfish words that burned his tongue the moment he spoke them.
“Why didn’t you find me sooner?”
~
After the first wizarding war, Sirius is struggling. Remus is there to remind him it's okay to heal.

Summary
Remus was sure that there was nothing better than laying on James’ fluffy charmed carpet with his three best friends, listening to music from the record player—that had also been charmed to work without electricity—and chatting about whatever came to their minds.
~
or, Remus thinks about the impeding war, his and his friends' futures, and worries about his boyfriend.

Summary
Sirius and Remus have an important conversation about Sirius' past when they are trying to be intimate together for the first time and Sirius realizes just how much he loves Remus Lupin. There is lots of hurt/comfort, but the boys come out stronger in the end.
I really suck at summaries, but if you want to basically know what this is about just go listen to "The Heart Is a Muscle" by Gang of Youths and you'll get it.
*a second part has been recently added!

Summary
“Sirius—”
“It’s fine, Rem. I know you don’t…that you’re not…I know I don’t have chance with you. I know that you’re straight, so don’t worry about it, okay? It’s just a crush, it’ll pass and we can just go back to the way things were before I even said all this.” Sirius said rapidly, his eyes wide as he spoke. Remus just shook his head and Sirius felt his heart plummet.
“I don’t want to go back to how things were.”

You're in Control; Rid of the Monsters Inside Your Head by xo_kxt

Summary
The house was more ominous at night. Almost as if all the dark magic they worked so hard to get rid of during the day was seeping out of the dusty walls, vibrating in the air and making one’s skin tingle. Ginny lie awake, not because of the house and it’s horrors but because of her own mind and the demons that have remained there since she was eleven. She squeezes her eyes shut, willing herself to go to sleep, but the moment her eyelids close together she sees his face. She hears his synthetically understanding voice as she remembers how she bore her young, naïve heart out to in a cursed journal that she would never truly be rid of. Her eyes snapped back open and she lets out a slow, but shaky breath, afraid she might wake Hermione, who was fast asleep next to her, apparently oblivious to the darkness swimming around them and inside of Ginny’s head.
---
basically a headcanon based off that one line in Order of the Phoenix where Ginny says "Excuse me, but I care what happens to Sirius as much as you do!" (chapter 33)

Summary
The door creaks open. Aang yelps and scrambles to his feet, while Sokka whips his head around to look. The motion makes the wig fly off his head.
Sokka watches as it soars gracefully through the air and hits Zuko square in the face.
Zuko stares at them. Sokka and Aang stare back. The wig flops to the floor.
"Do I even want to know?" Zuko asks.
(Or: Aang practices proposing to Katara. Sokka practices pining after Zuko. Neither of them are doing too well.)

Summary
It’s his sixth year at Hogwarts, and Remus Lupin has no intentions of making any major changes to his daily routine. He’s a creature of habit; of schedules and lists and predictability, and of comfort…when he has the option.
James Potter, however, has all the intentions of making major changes to Remus’s daily routine. It’s out of love, Remus knows this, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.
And, as the year progresses, James isn’t the only one testing the boundaries of his friendship with Remus Lupin.

Summary
I've found silence is best enjoyed with an open heart beating next to you
But for now be my darling and whisper your words to the rolling moon;
Rolling moon***
“You came looking for me?” Sirius asked quietly after a moment
“Mhm," kiss, "it’s cold – wanted my new favorite space heater to keep me warm.”
Sirius snorted and pulled away to look at Remus. “If either of us is the space heater it might be the one of us who runs so warm he wears shorts even in winter…”
Remus smiled, amused. “Are you calling me hot?”
***
When James Potter inherits his father’s game reserve in South Africa and spends a few months there learning the ropes of the business, of course Sirius has to follow him. He owes it to him to support him while he navigates his grief and the overwhelming task of managing a game and nature reserve bigger than some small countries. But in Africa, Sirius finds more than just a way to give back to his best mate until they make their way back home to Britain. Instead, he finds Remus, a tall, tanned and grumpy ranger who's crispy exterior hides a heart of shy, mushy gold who might make him question where his home really is.

“Oh, you’ll want one of the Fetts, for that.”
“And where would I find one?”
“Oh, all over,” the shopkeep says with an amused smile. “Can’t go ten feet in this town without finding one. In fact, there’s one right behind you.” He leans around Ben and calls, “Cody! This fine young man is looking for a Fett!”

Summary
When Sirius Black agreed to drive his cousin’s boyfriend from Washington DC to Chicago, he’d expected at least one hiccup. A squabble over gas, different music tastes, a preference for the windows down. That sort of thing.
Instead, he gets a conversation that will change his life—and his outlook on love—forever.
