I feel like this fic captures everything anyone's been trying to say about Sirius and the Marauders. That sounds rather grandiose, but it just goes to show how much I liked this.
Best bit was Occasionally, in his least generous moments, Remus had suspected Sirius of becoming an Animagus primarily so that Remus could never stop needing him. Sirius’s affection was both more selfish and more selfless than that of anyone else Remus knew. He gave everything and demanded everything. He had no boundaries. Those he loved became part of him, cared for and defended as fiercely as his own limbs but also controlled, pushed, taken for granted. And now his best friends, his extra arms, were detaching from him.
