The Wicked King - Cardan POV
I don't really love the title so THAT may change but for now I think it's okay (it's a ref to 'The Coldest Girl in Coldtown' so still pays homage to Holly Black while changing up the format a little bit)

Summary
He is quite clever, he considers, in the way he doles out his observations. A look in the hallway between classes during which he focuses on Remus’s fingers as they hold his textbooks, is enough to tide him over until lunch. At lunch, he can risk a prolonged glance into his eyes, green and full of speckled yellow spots. This can keep him full until bedtime. At night, he watches Remus in his too big shirt and tiny, tiny shorts that should be illegal, as he puts on his reading glasses and buries himself in some muggle romance novel, and this is enough to fill Sirius’s dreams that night, until he wakes up in the morning and the cycle inevitably begins again.

Summary
When he's seven years old, Sirius Black has a brief encounter with a strange boy in the woods, who, in their short exchange, teaches him an important lesson about the nature of the Universe, only to then disappear without a trace.
Nine years later, Sirius, along with his two best friends, is a student away at boarding school, with a brand new transfer student as his roommmate--a foul-mouthed, astronomy nerd named Remus Lupin.
Between school, hormones, relationships, and the fact that he is keeping a (magical) secret away from everyone--Sirius' year starts to go a little off the rails.
Not to mention, there's something familiar about that Remus Lupin kid that he just can't seem to shake...

Summary
“Well,” Remus says quietly, “you don’t let people know you."
“And you’re saying you know me?” Sirius drawls, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the only one?”
The half-arsed derision in his tone doesn’t seem to surprise or intimidate Remus. He only smiles, knowing.
It is one thing to love a person; it is quite another to see them as they truly are and to love them all the same. And sometimes, Sirius thinks, he’d rather die than let anybody see beneath the defensive facade of his brave face.
From 1971 to 1978, the Hogwarts years of obsession, betrayal, recklessness, lies, too much drink, insecurity, and all eclipsing sexual frustration. Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense. Seven years for Sirius to finally admit to himself that what he wants is not only to be loved, but to be known entirely. And therein lies the difficulty.
