Looks Like We're in for Nasty Weather by Nara_Riya

Summary
After Sirius Black’s prank goes too far, Remus Lupin stops speaking to him. No forgiveness, just an aching silence that gets sharper the closer the full moon creeps in.
Then Slughorn assigns Amortentia, and Sirius realises something he can’t unlearn.
So Sirius does what he always does when he’s desperate - testing the limits of Remus’s patience.
It involves mistletoe, a charmed cup that won’t let anyone lie, Regulus Black being unhelpful in exactly the right way, and staying at Hogwarts over Christmas.It’s a train of terrible ideas, and it might be the thing that finally works.

Summary
"I think maybe, if you're good at putting out fires, you just run from fire to fire and don't even think about it."
Sirius Black was never sorted into Gryffindor. To protect the only family he had, Sirius was sorted into Slytherin, and nothing was the same. He kept his head down, and kept his cards close to his chest as he took the Dark Mark, dropped out of school and eventually sold out his entire family and Death Eater intel during the first war. 8 years later, after fleeing to Greece with his brother and focusing on nothing but literal home improvement, Sirius finds himself back in London and enrolled in Adult Education courses to finish his schooling--including Defense Against the Dark Arts taught by none other than Remus Lupin.
Sirius could fix anything. Sirius could take care of a home, take care of his family, take care of an entire wizarding world. And Remus? He could take care of Sirius.
Rated M for swearing and some hefty dom/sub dynamic (they eventually fade out with the evolution of the fic but it is there)

Summary
Sirius Black never thought he was the kind of person who would ever settle in a sleepy village outside of London, but that was before Lily and James Potter died, leaving their son in Sirius' care.
Remus Lupin never thought he would return to his childhood village, but that was before he found himself being a single parent in a foreign country.
Neither of them thought they were looking for something, but maybe they were.

Summary
James was trying to “find himself” whatever-the-fuck that means. And Sirius, as his long-exasperated best friend, was dragged along with him, finding themselves in Kerry, Ireland.
Luckily, Sirius had Moony: his anonymous online confidant, his late-night constant, his almost-something, to keep him sane in the face of his (second) brother losing the plot. Only, Moony has no interest in taking things further than that. But it's enough for Sirius.
Or, it had been, right up until he and James broke down on the side of the road, and were saved by a good-looking local, Remus.

Summary
“I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
***
After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.
