Pairing(s): James/Sirius, background Lily/James, mentions of Sirius/OMCs
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1,799
Content/Warnings: bottom!james, possible infidelity?, *for me,
rarepair_shorts 2020
Summary: They're never meant to be more than a series of kisses and good hard fucks, lost in the darkness overlooking their flat. But James keeps coming back and Sirius keeps letting him in.
Seriously fabulous fic with some gorgeous writing and a wonderful relationship between Sirius and James. And the ending!! Right in the feels.
Title: All About You
Author: violet_quill
Pairings: James/Sirius, James/Lily
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1,874
Content/Warnings: infidelity, dirty talk, talk of bottom!james
Summary: Ever since James moved in with Lily, he doesn't seem to have as much time for his friends. Sirius has finally had enough.
So fucking hot (the dirty talk alone!) and I love the ending. Not as angsty as the usual James/Sirius stuff I read.
Title: A Night to Remember
Author:
torino10154
Pairings: James/Sirius, James/Lily implied
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1,951
Content/Warnings: first time, blowjob, fingering, anal, infidelity, bottom!james, sirius black fest 2013
Summary: This is James's last chance and Sirius never could resist when it came to James.
So I may be a bit biased because this is the first fic that I've read that I prompted (even if it was anonymous!) But this is perfect and exactly how I picture them. Their best friends and you can see how much that bond means to them even if James is getting married. There isn't too much angst but there is still that subtle implication that Sirius is just a little bit heartbroken. And the sex was super hot!

This fic is gorgeous. The writing is amazing, and I just love Sirius here, the way he sees James, his love and guilt and fear that manage to come through so beautifully in his memories and fantasies. And the last line is perfection.

daily_deviant kinky kristmas 2011

bbtp_challenge 2018
Summary: Sirius's knee moved against James's. His breath was tinged sweet with butterbeer. It seemed so incongruous… was clearly Remus's influence. Sirius wasn't a butterbeer bloke; he was shots, the burn of it like gasoline down your gullet. Sirius was Firewhisky. He was fire.
Oh gosh, this was just wonderful! All the gorgeous, angsty feels I want from this pairing.

Rating: Explicit
Word count: ~6,341
Content/Warnings: first time, bottom!james, infidelity, mild homophobia/internalized homophobia, implied switching, sirius-black fest 2017
Summary: Being gay in the seventies isn't easy, coming out is hard to do and love is complicated, messy and unexpected. When Sirius Black comes out to James Potter it serves to fuel the embers of a fire that's been burning between them for years.
Oh, this fic is just gorgeous! All the beautiful, poignant angsty feels I love with this pairing, and the chemistry and connection between them just jumped off the screen. Fantastic!

Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 15,435
Content/Warnings: first times, rimming, *for me
Summary: At nineteen, James Potter is missing Hogwarts, nursing a broken heart and worrying about his ailing parents. James needs his friends more than ever, but Remus is behaving strangely, Peter is too busy with his new job and Sirius has a secret more terrifying than the whispers of a looming war.
Oh goodness, this fic is SO GOOD. I am obsessed with the way Writ writes this pairing and it's no surprise that a fic written just for me hit all of my buttons!! The sense of atmosphere here is gorgeous, and all of the characterizations are spot-on. I loved James's voice and his struggles after leaving Hogwarts and trying to find himself in a world that's so very different from what he's known. Lovely relationship between Sirius and James, some SUPER hot sex, and a wonderful ending!
Title: Winter of '79

Pairing(s): James/Sirius, past James/Lily & Sirius/OMCs
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 17,509

sirius_blk 2018
Summary: Post-punk Britain is in the grip of another brutal winter, Thatcher is in power and Muggle gay bars keep getting raided for no reason at all. Sirius just wants to find somewhere to go drinking with the best mate he definitely doesn’t fancy. When they’re directed towards a tatty Soho sex shop during a night out, neither James or Sirius expect to find a magical street that will change their lives forever.
Fabulous prequel fic to Writ's Drarry fic, Little Compton Street, which you don't have to read to get this one, but I definitely recommend! We get hints of James/Sirius in that fic, and it was such a treat to get to read more of their story, to see Little Compton Street as it was in its prime and watch James and Sirius come together. The both of them were really beautifully written here, and their connection gave me ALL the feels.
