Fics that accurately depict Canon Sirius?
I feel that nobody truly gets him right. Canonically, he's loyal, easily bored (a bored Sirius is a dangerous one lol), caring (confronts Molly after the boggart even though she called him an unfit guardian moments ago), hypocritical, rude.
Artemisia Black does great analysis on his character:

He does not joke all the time. Most of the time, he's serious.
Sirius is the type who's smart enough to plan the perfect murder. Unfortunately, he's impulsive and passionate enough that if he ever were to kill someone, it would be disorganized and in the heat of the moment, which would get him caught with ease. I strongly believe that if he had some time, he would've dealt with Peter, but alas, the death of James understandably sent him into a spiral.
Please, I'd love fics that properly portray him in canon. PLEASE, I'm begging you, no fics where he calls Hermione "kitten"
