Noticed that you mentioned Jim Grimsley's Comfort & Joy, one of my favorite novels of all time. It's the one that I pick up regularly every two months and reread; only now, I've lent it out and am twitching for it. O.o
I adore your comparisons between Sirius/Remus and Ford/Dan. Sirius, angry at his heritage and the expectations therein, hiding behind a facade; Remus, quiet and subdued, carrying a legacy of death with him, 'death' transferred through his bodily fluids (assuming that lycanthropy is transmittable through them, rather than the werewolf bite itself).
I am seeing Remus "curled like a geisha, a presense in his (Ford's) bed." (heavily paraphrased because, again, I don't have the novel on hand)

Now I'm really twitching.
