Who do you ship Sirius with?
Actively, no one. I don't dislike ships involving him but none of the canon characters particularly stand out to me as an ideal partner. I do love @izzythehutt's pairing with her OC Colette Battancourt, and @artemisia-black's Aeliana Marcellus is also a great match for him imo, but I'm very willing to drift between different parings rather than having a wholly solid ship for him.

She, for her part, only looked up at him, blandly innocent in expression - though her eyes sparkled with mischief and, more alarming, the triumph he was starting to associate with those moments when her enormous curiosity had been satisfied. 

- Black Mask, the Black Sheep Dog Series, by @izzythehutt
Hmm I dunno whether or not I ought to be proud of this one, but here’s how I imagine Colette Battancourt, who happens to be one of my favorite OC in the world of fanfiction.

Here’s how I picture Colette Battancourt, one of the best OC in hp fanfiction (imo). There’s both curiosity and innocence in her eyes or am I crazy?
Again, @izzythehutt, Black Mask, the Black Sheep Dog Series.

[HARRY POTTER]
Black Mask
Christmas 1979 — danger, secrets, lies and their shared history looms large over the Blacks' first Yuletide season as a reunited family.  
While life as a fugitive proves bleaker (and more boring) than Regulus could have imagined, a botched espionage mission at Malfoy Manor draws Sirius deeper into the Black family web—and his cousin Narcissa's social set.  
Meanwhile, Walburga hatches a daring scheme to restore her wild firstborn's damaged reputation in the family—finding him a suitable bride—while Orion grapples with the past, and the high price his two sons have paid for his inaction.
[Regulus Black Lives/Black Family Witness Protection AU.  The continuing story of how Regulus stealing part of Voldemort's soul brings a broken, dysfunctional family together]

Attempt at Colette Battancourt take 2
Colette is one of the main characters of @izzythehutt ´s most excellent fanfiction Black Mask from her AU The Black Sheep Dog (a regulus black lives au if you must know)
Ref: Coles Philips (which explains the unfinished dress thing haha!) and a painting of a girl reading (which I didn’t save bc I’m an idiot)

“Besides—if you like flying, Elvira should've been good enough for you."
A scene from @izzythehutt‘s beautiful fic Black Mask, the second part of a beautiful Black-family centered series where Regulus survives and Sirius is thus forced to face his parents again. I had so much fun getting this image down (yes, I know in actuality Sirius would be wearing the helmet, but come on, his hair blowing in the wind? It had to be done.)
Colette Battancourt is such a fun OC that I did not expect to like so much, and it was a pleasure to draw her as I see her! I ended up trying to base her robes on an Edwardian style dress because she’s from a traditional wizarding family, which was a great change from the leather jacket, which I love as an aesthetic but cannot draw to save my life. What is anatomy? What is machinery? I do faces; what was I thinking? I’m still pretty proud of how it turned out, regardless.

I like how Sirius kind of thinks that Colette is some ignorant, rich pureblood in the beginning but he eventually realizes that (just like him when he was young) she knew nothing about the world, and is only limited to what she's been taught thus far. Her friendship with Lily is so pure.
I can't wait to get more of Black family drama; I already know that Colette's reaction to being seen by her parents will be priceless😂
It was very important to me that his love interest was a curious and open-minded person. I really can't see him falling for a girl with whom he doesn't share that quality since it's so core to who he is.
As glaring as Sirius's blind spots are, he always has struck me as thoughtful and open-minded in his views of the world. I remember thinking him complimenting Moody for not going full Barty Crouch on the Death Eaters in GOF was note-worthy...also it seemed like his experience of Azkaban gave him some sense of at the very least empathy with the other (actually guilty) people who were locked up there with him.
I also read him as perhaps having internalized things about his privileged background he's less than self-aware of (am I the only one who sees a social class aspect to his dynamic with Snape?)
Colette definitely has a genuine admiration of Mrs. Potter that I think is very sweet (especially contrasted with her somewhat toxic one with Narcissa.)
Oh, yeah, he having to face her family will be...something else.

if you were to tie faith into 'black mask', where do you think each character would regard their own faith? I'm asking for the sirius, regulus and the parents, maybe Colette too or someone else if you've thought about it? also, a chapter from the new testament you've reread the most? wishing you a good lenten season!
This has been lurking for a bit but since I got into a whole "religion in the Harry Potter universe" conversation I figured I'd answer it.
So, in my universe as opposed to the canon Harry Potter universe, I'm drawing on my own family—the Blacks are recusant English Catholic landed gentry. I think it honestly fits the whole "there are only 28 acceptable families" inbred pureblood vibe since that's basically the upper class English Catholic families, everybody is related. I feel like in canon HP universe if they are in an actual denomination they'd be Anglican, since they're so "establishment", but then again the Norfolks irl are Catholic so who knows?
As much as I have been accused of Black family apologism, even I cannot in good conscience describe anyone in this family having a healthy relationship with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but were they religious this is sort of how it would shake down:
Orion is a classic trad with all the attendant dysfunction therein. Extremely legalistic, he's very comforted by a the sense of order, regulations, hierarchical structure and tradition that the Church provides. Probably reads Thomistic theology in his room for fun and would never miss a Holy Day of Obligation. Does not have a good grasp on how to love, show mercy to his children for their failings or give a good example of the relational aspect of their faith. When the shit inevitably hits the fan he's left wondering why following the rules didn't make everything turn out right. I kind of feel like I did give him a moral arc in BM in the sense that he really had to grapple with his own failure and let go of the idea that he can control everything.
Walburga I see as having a pretty childish and shallow understanding of God/religious faith. Faith is more tied to family tradition than personal piety and is practiced out of habit/duty more than out of genuine interest. She is not an imaginative person, she's the kind of person who thinks if they follow the letter of the law and pray they should get exactly what they want. Zero understanding of theology of suffering as a form of sanctification.
Sirius is projecting his daddy issues onto God and struggles to see his own lovability outside of the conditions set by his parents. Will do the opposite of his family just to rebel—I could see him getting into the cozy provincial Anglicanism of the Potters when he moves into them. He's the kind who would start going to church all the time if his parents were secular atheists just to piss them off. His arc is about seeing that God loves him in a perfect way and that helping him forgive his parents for their extremely damaged and wounded way of showing they love him.
Regulus is classic Elder Brother in the Prodigal Son. Has some resentment about doing things right and not getting anything in return. I kind of feel like he's the only one who actually has a prayer life or thinks very deeply about metaphysical questions, but that he also has massive cognitive dissonance with all the religious hypocrisy in the family which makes him question the whole thing.
Bonus: Colette actually has sincere piety and an imaginative soul and would maybe get Sirius rebelling from his family and not really practicing back into going to mass, etc.

"Mastermind" by Taylor Swift would be a perfect Colette/Sirius song if the mastermind of the title was the love interest's mom rather than the narrator

is Sirius's wedding going to be stuffy?
Not if his friends have anything to do with it! If he let his family run the show, it will be the most over the top thing aristo party on the planet.

Did Melania have to teach Walburga how to be the Mistress of the House of Black? It’s amusing to imagine Walburga teaching Colette her future responsibilities :) I also love the passing down of Hesper Black’s pearl ring from 1 matriarch of the family to another.
Melania tried to, but she was a little intimidated by her charge. I think Walburga would take to the role a little more naturally, tbh....
That ring will be coming back into the story!
