Summary

Telling his current boyfriend the truth about his past shouldn't be harder, but it is.
Especially when so much of it still leads back to Mike Wheeler.
Or: Unanswered letters, a crowded party, and Mike Wheeler at the worst possible time.

Summary
Will wishes desperately to feel something. Anything. His mother hugs him and it’s like he’s touching a mannequin. There’s hardly any warmth anymore. He remembers when his heart was unsteady, filled to the bursting by Mike falling asleep on his shoulder at movie night. He remembers looking forward to Dustin’s hugs, where the other boy would purposefully try to squeeze all of the air out of Will’s lungs. He remembers when Jonathan ruffled his hair and his whole body went liquid, trying to lean into his brother’s hand. Now everything means nothing. The house is noisy and Will is alone.
or, Robin makes Will think about his feelings for two seconds and he falls apart

Summary
It's been nearly ten years since they saw each other. Ten years since they lived in the same state, much less occupied the same room. Ten years since they were friends; eight and a half since Will stopped referring to Mike as such, much less his best one.
Ten years, and here Mike is, and here Will is, and here’s the guy in the chinos who just bought Will’s first friend, first love, first heartbreak a drink. Here is what the poets call cosmic fucking irony, Will thinks: the setup for the world’s unfunniest a guy walks into a bar joke, and Will’s the punchline. Will’s been punched in the gut.
(or, after ten years of no contact, will encounters mike wheeler in a new york city bar, and he doesn't know what to do about it.)

Summary
There is a body buried beneath 12 Grimmauld Place.
Its ghost leaks out through the walls, the pipes, the floorboards, the crown moulding. At night, it shakes the busts off their pedestals, leaves drawers hanging open like yawning, gaping mouths. It sinks steak knives into portraits, switches the silverware, moves furniture. By daybreak, it howls. It screams and moans and wails.
Regulus hasn't been able to sleep for weeks.Sirius does not return to Hogwarts following 5th year.
(AKA Sirius is missing, something is wrong, and the Marauders + Regulus do some mild breaking and entering)

Summary
After the end of the first war, Remus goes to New Orleans to forget.
Sirius turned his head, then, and fixed Remus with a look, cool and sharp and half-in-shadow. One corner of his mouth curled, and one eyebrow cocked, as if to say, I see you, Moony. Trying not to look.
It had taken until the end of sixth year before he could let himself think about why it was so hard to keep his eyes to himself. The back of Sirius's long graceful neck in detentions, the trail of black hairs down his stomach when his shirt lifted as he stretched. There was something mythical about him, chiseled and marble-white like an ancient statue; something remote in the same way too. Remus wanted to touch him—in the way one wants to touch a fine work of art. In the way one almost wants to rend it with his hands and eat it.
God, Remus had thought. Something else wrong with me. Something else I can never let anyone find out.

Summary
A selection of individual chapters written from the POVs of other characters featured within "The Cadence of Part-time Poets".
I have not planned a set number of chapters or characters for which I will be writing, this is purely for fun. Some chapters may be quite long in length, others just a scene or two. This sub-fic is tagged very sparingly so any/all trigger warnings will come at the beginning of each chapter, please be mindful of those.
I'm open to suggestions of different scenes or POVs in the comments. Peace!

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)
