HC that Minnie gave Sirius their very first leather jacket as a birthday or Christmas present the first one after their disownment.

Secondary HC that the jacket was Minnie’s from her own punk/rebel phase, and that she had embroidered the inside of the left lapel with “you miss 100% of the chances you don’t take” in blocky, uneven letters. They never get to sit down and talk about it, but that jacket is what gives Sirius the strength to continue on after everything with their family, their gender crisis, and the aftermath of The Prank.
