    Summary

    When two-time Oscar winner and walking PR catastrophe Sirius Black drunkenly torpedoes his career at an award show, his manager sends him to The Graham Norton Show for damage control.

    (Un)fortunately, sharing the sofa that night is bestselling reclusive novelist RJ Lupin: cardigan-clad, and far too attractive for Sirius’s peace of mind.

    Somewhere between hundreds of viral memes and stolen phone numbers, what begins as a PR nightmare might just become the first honest thing either of them has ever done in years.

    Summary

    Welcome to a brand-new season of The Ultimatum: Queer Love!

    Remus Lupin has been with his high school sweetheart, Caradoc, for more than ten years. He is happy (he thinks) and, more importantly, he is comfortable. There is something wonderful about being known and loved by the same person for so many years.

    Sirius Black knows he's bisexual, theoretically, but he's never put it into practice. He's been happy dating women, and happy dating Marlene McKinnon for a few years. But he's not happy to get married, not yet anyway. When the opportunity to explore, experiment, and publicly upset his awful family presents itself, he says yes.

    They're both about to find out that sometimes love happens when and where you least expect it: on reality TV.

    Summary

    “This hot tub has not been well maintained,” Rozanov complained as they stood on the deck, staring at the built-in hot tub, big enough to fit 8 people. 

    “So, you can replace it,” Shane replied patiently.

    “I will be too busy to replace the hot tub. Then I will have a long day, and I will decide to have a soak in my rancid hot tub, and then I will catch diphtheria and die.” Rozanov looked at Shane, accusatory. “You want me to die?”

    Shane looked down. The hot tub looked no more or less rancid than any other hot tub. “I don’t think you can get diphtheria from a dirty hot tub.”

    “You are doctor now?” Rozanov asked, and Shane stayed silent. 

    Shane Hollander is a realtor who works with the Ottawa Centaurs to find properties for new players.

    Ilya Rozanov needs a home.

    Summary

    November, 1979.

    Remus is missing, James has no clue what he's doing with his life, Sirius is a loose canon, and they're losing the war.

    Of course, that's when Sirius has to go and lose his entire memory.

    But maybe, it's not all bad. Maybe, they can have a shot at second chances. Maybe, they can learn to love again. Maybe, they just might be able to turn this war around.
