Summary
At the age of sixteen, Sirius Black orchestrated a thoughtless and dangerous prank. What if James had not been fast enough, and that prank had proven deadly to Severus Snape? When the first wizarding war comes, and Sirius acquires information on the secret of the Dark Lord's invulnerability, the estranged Marauders must work together to defeat him, mending their friendships along the way. Or in the case of the wreckage of Remus and Sirius' relationship, could it be more than friendship that emerges?
[Title derived from the lyrics of "Heart With No Companion" by the late, great Leonard Cohen]

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.
