Ah, sorry, forgot the rest of the questions (and I don't have the edit feature. Bah!)! I think the first art I saw was by spacefragments to be honest. It might have been glockgal, but I might be imagining that one? ...yeah. I'm going to go with the first, there.

And! I wasn't actually big on Sirius to begin with, which is LOLworthy as he's probably the strongest muse for me, now. I've RPed him for...at least three years? But when he died, I was curious to find out more about him - usually my favourite characters in anything are killed off, and I hadn't been too attached to anyone in the series.

As a pairing though, it's the angst and the history, and the fact that they're two broken characters who, after twelve years of misunderstanding, managed to come to the conclusion 'yes, we will kill this betrayer together' almost seamlessly. It was really quite lovely as a friendship, and after some exploration, I've come to really love it as a pairing.
