“Did you bring a gift?” Little Harry jumps up and down like a tiny spring and Remus is helpless. He is not Sirius. He doesn't bring constant gifts, he has neither the money nor the energy. Besides, Sirius will be here in a minute, as soon as he has parked that ridiculous motorcycle. Bud disappointing the little one seems mean.
“Uhm... well, I brought you... Sirius. Right? And he'll bring a gift.. I think.”
“You two always come together!” The little one really gets perceptive these days.
“Uhm... we live together. Like... room-mates.”
“Like?” a voice pipes up in the background. James has impeccable timing. “Means, you are not?” They haven't been for a year, but strangely it never came up in a conversation.
“Well...” Remus is about as good in thinking up lies as he is in picking presents. “I... uh...”
Just then Sirius finally appears, throwing a little ball in the air where it scatters into millions and millions of sparkly pieces that form a Quidditch player on his broom, before forming back into a ball as they fall to the ground.
Harry is delighted. James... is cautious. “So what about this room-mate thing.”
Sirius is far bolder than Remus would ever be, and for more confident for their friendship. He grins, puts his chin on Remus' shoulder, than leans in for a kiss to his cheek with a mischievous grin. “Take a wild guess.”
Remus shouldn't have worried though. James just rolls his eyes. “Fucking finally. The sneaking around was getting painful.”
Here's a list of all my fav Sirius & Harry fics. All of them have platonic/familial relationships. Listed by word count. Enjoy!
The Midnight Munchies by HJ0519 G, 1.2k
When Sirius finds his eight-year-old godson in the kitchen at midnight, he uncovers a lingering insecurity from Harry's time at the Dursleys.

Harry’s hands cramp and shake as writes his lines on dotted paper. I must not tell lies. Each letter is painstakingly, properly formed, equal heights and properly rounded. Anything less would mean re-writing the entire page and Harry doesn’t want to do that.
Across the room, Umbridge stares at Harry, her eyes appearing enlarged by the glasses perched at the end of her nose.
“Keep writing, Potter.”
A loud knock echoes around the room and Harry jumps, startled.
“Stay put.” Umbridge scowls at him, and gets up to see who it is. She opens the classroom door.
Oh, Merlin. It’s Sirius.
~~~
Aka. Sirius gets his godson away from Umbridge and makes sure Harry knows that he's loved.
Scars by arlenrose G, 5k
When Ron wakes Harry up from a nightmare about the graveyard, he urges Harry to talk to Sirius about it. The conversation between Harry and Sirius dredges up hurt feelings that both have been unwilling to address.
Basically, the conversation they never had but probably should have, and a demonstration of Harry and Sirius as professional miscommunicators.
Down the drain by blaiddseren T, 6k
Harry's jaw clenched and Sirius thought for a second that he was about to start shouting but instead, after a moment, he spoke quietly, his voice cold; "Well maybe I thought the risk made it fun, like my dad would have."
In which Sirius' attempts to be parental have Harry acting defensively, his attempts to dig deeper on the Dursleys lead to somehow giving relationship advice and his attempts to tell Harry how much he loves him lead to him hating himself for not being there more and vowing to be a better, kinder person. Until Remus shows up ten minutes later anyway.
through a glass darkly by disinclinant (orphan_account) T, 8k+
Sirius Black falls through the Veil—and back into the world.
He is not dead, but nor is he alive, neither ghost nor simply memory and barely a poltergeist. The second war with Voldemort has officially begun, and Harry Potter has finally learned the full extent of the Prophecy. Sirius is not about to let his godson suffer needlessly, not if he can help it. But how much can he do, invisible as he is?
rollin' in the deeeeeeeep by Ourliazo T, 9k
Sirens eat Merfolk - except Harry is a super cute Mer baby and his dad isn't so bad either and really, Remus, I can explain how this happened.
Remus floats in place with his arms crossed, staring Sirius down as the other Siren sheepishly lowers an unconscious James into their nest.
Making a Difference by Anafandom G, 17k
Harry is about to face a disciplinary hearing for using magic outside of school, and despite everyone’s reassurances, he’s still worried. After all, life has never exactly gone easy for him. But he has more allies than he realises, and they aren’t about to let him face things alone any more.
Dead Man Walking by ImpishTubist M, 37k+
Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Sirius Black returns from the Veil. Harry is married with children.
Whatever the Cost by arlenrose M, 39k
Sirius Black did not die during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. He has been held prisoner and faces the cost of remaining loyal to those he loves.
Meanwhile, Harry has mourned Sirius for nearly a year until he receives a warning that his godfather still lives and he’d better hurry up and find him before Sirius is finally gone for good.
The Best Mistakes by orphan_account M, 76k
When a dark family secret comes to light, everything Sirius believes in is thrown into chaos. Except that Harry remains, a constant reminder that sometimes our greatest mistakes can be our most precious gifts.
before the door of hell lamps burned by basketofnovas (slashmarks) T, 195k
In which Harry goes to live with his godfather in the summer of 1994, Peter Pettigrew goes to Azkaban, and a lot of things change.
A Marauder's Plan by CatsAreCool (Rachel500), Rachel500, TrekCat (Rachel500) T, 866k
What if Sirius decided to stay in England and deliver on his promise to raise Harry instead of hiding somewhere sunny? Changes abound with that one decision...
I love the fact that the headcanon of the Blacks being uncanny and creepy, makes 100% sense in canon.
They're described as beautiful with sharp jawlines, pale skin, dark hair, dark eyes, and many being tall with "elegant structure." They're these gorgeous people, and hold themselves to a standard of being this Wizarding World Royalty.
However, they're fucked up at the same time. They have the crazy eyes. It's a coin toss on if they're insane or just severely traumatized; regardless of which, you get this weird feeling around them, because you know something is wrong.
They all look alike, too much a like; there's not enough genes in the pool to make them look too different after all. They look normal alone, but when you put them all together, this uncanny valley feeling settles in when you look at them all enough. Cousins looks like they could be siblings, children are nearly identical to their parents. No one looks the age you expect, everyone is either younger or older than you thought, because no one really looks.. right.
They have a ton of money, power, and connections, so if you look at them wrong for too long, something could happen to you. Just the power alone makes many fear them, but along with the unnerving appearance, being around them must have been complicated for many people.
They're also intelligent, raised with the finest tutors and access to ancient knowledge many could only dream of. If they can't spook you with looks or power, they can outsmart you and plot your downfall with magic alone, no connections involved.
15 year old Sirius Black thinking he'll die in Grimmauld Place never knowing what freedoms likes vs 35 year old Sirius Black thinking he'll die in Grimmauld Place only barely knowing what freedoms like
Sugiki: *sighing all broodily* "I'm a terrible person who enoys hurting my partners and forcing them to move the way I want and do what I want, so I must force myself to live a life alone forever"
Suzuki: *taking off his clothes while sliding to his knees and baring his throat* "How are you this lame? Please collar me before I die of blue balls"
I love doing research for fics about the Black family (finding inspo for clothing/houses/decor/ect), because it's the only time I get to sort online stores from most to least expensive
