Title: So Many Monsters and Gone Gently, by Victoria P.
Characters: Sirius and the various Endless (Desire, Despair, Delirium, Death)
Author's webpage: Achromatic
Author on LJ: musesfool

Why this must be read:
::sigh:: Neil Gaiman's Endless - is there anything they can't be crossed with? Victoria brings them into the Potter-verse using Sirius as the conduit. The first story, "So Many Monsters" is Sirius in Azkaban, and his struggle to hold on to himself and his innocence for twelve long years. "Gone Gently" is Sirius at the end of Order of the Phoenix, and what he encounters on the other side of the Veil.

Victoria's prose is, as ever, spare but effective - if you're looking for teeth-gnashing angst-fests, these aren't the fics you're looking for, though the situations and her execution of them are deeply affecting.

These two pieces are cousins, rather than direct sequels, but they do belong together.
