It occurs to me that part of what I love about Comfort and Joy by Jim Grimsley is that the main characters are Sirius and Remus. Or, rather, Dan Crell is Remus, and Ford McKinney is a Sirius who hadn't rebelled against his family or met Remus until he was an adult--or possibly just never realized that Remus was a werewolf, if one can assume that part of the reason behind Sirius's rebellion is that he had an "impure" werewolf friend.
Which would be a gorgeous AU, actually, though v.v. complicated. If Remus's identity had remained a secret, then: 1) Peter couldn't betray the Marauders, or at least not in the same manner, 2) James, Sirius, and Peter wouldn't become animagi, hence no MWPP, 3) Snape wouldn't nearly be killed... And then Sirius and Remus would have dinner together in London a year or two after leaving Hogwarts, and Remus would 'fess up to being a werewolf, and Sirius would attempt to reconcile himself to the situation, and it would all be most satisfying.
