Summary
Sirius Black lives a lonely, exhausting life trying to keep his parents' farm afloat. He's on a sure path to self destruction until Remus, a temporary worker hired for the peak of lambing season, sets him in a new direction. But Remus must leave the farm, and Sirius's life, after only a week, and he won't say why.
***
Remus lives a lonely, exhausting life working any job he can find and never staying put for more than a few months at a time. When he takes a week-long position at the Black & Sons sheep farm to help out during lambing season, he ends up finding a kindred spirit in the farmer's son. But he has to leave when the week is up, and that might just be his undoing.
You can read Through Old Flesh and Cold Bones from Sirius's perspective, or Remus's, or both to get the full story.

Summary
All he'd wanted was some time. Just a bit of time to get his head back on straight. But time had turned into two dead friends, twelve months spent in Azkaban that had felt like years, and a head more damaged than when he'd started.
Blinded by distrust and grief, Sirius had turned his back on Remus, thinking it would cost him nothing while it had cost him everything. Now, five years later, drowning in his own fog of terrible days and worse actions, Sirius stands a small chance of gaining back some of what he's lost in the form of his godson once thought gone. The only thing that stands in his way is the man currently raising Harry; the man Sirius cast out of his life like broken shards of glass. Remus doesn't trust Sirius, but Sirius is determined to claw his way back and mend what once was broken by his own foolish hands.

Summary
Remus Lupin has loved Sirius Black since they were boys. He never expected anything to come of it — not at school, not after Azkaban, not now, sharing a cottage in the strange quiet after the war. Some things you carry without ever meaning to set them down.
Remus is very good at not hoping. He's had a lot of practice.
