au where sirius did some modelling for stock photos in his early twenties when money was tight after getting disowned by his family.
several years later, remus is working a boring government job, and one day while searching for stock photos to add to a powerpoint, he has his breath taken away by the gorgeous man in some of the stock photos he finds. he starts using the model's photos in his presentations as often as he dares (but not so often as to be weird, just whenever it makes sense....even though his coworkers start to notice that it's the same handsome dude in all his presentations).
well, one day, representatives from a growing nonprofit are coming into the office where remus works to try and secure more funding. remus is asked to join the meeting to take notes. and who does he find leading the group from the nonprofit?
the handsome stock photo model, there in the flesh!!
remus's coworkers recognize him too and almost piss themselves but everyone has to remain professional and remus wants to die. and sirius is confused about why the cute guy taking notes looks like he's about the throw up whenever sirius looks at him.
adding to this: part of why remus is going to throw up is because he realizes that he in fact used not one but four stock photos featuring sirius in the granting agency overview deck he prepared for meetings like this.
he watches in horror as his teammate pulls up the presentation, and boom, there's sirius smiling at them all holding a clipboard. and now there's sirius with his brow furrowed in concentration, looking at a computer. and now there's sirius shaking hands with another stock photo model in a meeting shot. and now there's sirius leaning against a wall in a suit, looking out at the horizon.
sirius thinks it's hilarious ("it's me! where did you find those?") and remus wants to evaporate.
