Summary: Sirius had never accepted defeat, a quality that was as much as hindrance as a help, but this one time it just might work out for the best in the end.
Other notes, warnings, etc.: Thank you so much to elizassecret, midnitemaraud_r, and lesyeuxverts00 for their help with this. Particular thanks to elizassecret for her help coming up with the item for Sirius' gift; to midnitemaraud_r for pointing out time-space paradoxes and helping me to rewrite the thing; and to lesyeuxverts00 for her delicate touch with pretty words. Hmm, this really was a group effort.
