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.

Summary
This is a collection of individual chapters written from the POVs of other characters in my fic 'Brave Face'. There’s no set number of chapters or specific characters I plan to cover—this is just for my own self-indulgent fun. We’re playing fast and loose out here.
I’ve kept the tags very minimal, so CWs will be outlined at the start of each chapter—please check those. I’ve marked this as E overall since it’ll include some sex scenes, and darker/weirder vibes that might toe the line at DD on occasion. If that's not your thing, don't worry! None of these little fics are essential reading material for the Brave Face world.
