All Harry Potter, and only drawn from maybe a third of the stories--I started reading from the top down, and then from the bottom up, and I still haven't managed to meet in the middle--because there are so many of them.
Alone, based on Alone by Bounce. The original is a bleak yet moving scene between Sirius and Remus while Sirius is still hiding in the cave. In the remix, a flashback to their days at Hogwarts brilliantly interleaves the scene's action, while a switch to Remus's point of view offers a new perspective on Sirius, post- and pre-Azkaban, and on their relationship. Painfully beautiful, and vice versa.
Ennui, based on Ennui by Halrloprillalar. The fun, sexy, bisexual expansion of the (fun, sexy, and more slash-focused) original story. Various permutations of James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily, managing to be both in character and almost entirely angst-free.
Lightning Has Just Struck My Brain, based on Lightning Has Just Struck My Brain by Mousapelli. As chilling as the original, with a greater emphasis upon the Harry/Neville relationship.
Three Days, based on Three Days by Kest. One of the more derivative of the remixes, yet also one of my absolute favorites; it's amazing how different a story can become in its tone and import with a change in POV and the addition of a few scenes. Three days at Grimmauld Place, this time from Sirius's perspective.
Bittersweet Triumph, based on Triumph of the Last Marauder by Mousapelli. The history of Sirius's motorcycle. Poignant and very believable.
