I would love to see more of what happens with this. This was very unique story to me. I'm gonna track it to make sure I see if you do anything else with it, be it a series of oneshots or continue it. Ja, Crolynx ;p
Did you just pull a 1-in-6,000,000,000 coincidence? Lazy! A slight less lazy route would've been for Sirius to be following the advice of some crazy old seer or be regularly dosing himself with luck potion while he searches the world for Harry Potter. It'd still be lazy, but also ever so slightly more believable than what you've got now.
As for HP calling Joyce "mom", I'm assuming that he's been inserted into the Summer's family the same way that Dawn was with the false origins and faked memories. I'm also assuming that he's completely changed his accent and now speaks with a native Californian accent. I'm making these two assumptions because there's no way that Harry would ordinarily call another woman his mother, and because no Englishman would mispronounce it as "mom" unless he were making fun of the Yanks.
Most of the scene in Azkaban didn't seem to add anything. I pretty much skipped everything from some woman screaming up until Sirius getting a newspaper page. That's when I knew the plot was starting again, so that's where I started reading properly again. There were actually a few paragraphs scattered throughout the rest odf the story that I also skipped.
Were you using Sirius chasing a rabbit as an allusion to Alice in Wonderland? If you were; awesome. If you weren't; then you could do it easily. Just specify that the rabbit is white, the same as Alice's. Feral rabbits are typically dirty and don't look white at all. A white rabbit is remarkable unless it's someone's recently escaped pet. Maybe add in Sirius drinking a luck potion beforehand as a reference to the "drink me" potions if you want to go that route. The car crash already acts as the "falling down the rabbit hole".
Best of luck with this. It isn't bad, but it could be better with a little polish.
This was really good. Will you be writing a sequel to it? I would love to see Sirius become part of the family and also how Joyce managed to adopt Harry.

Hahahaha! I loved this! Very funny with Sirius in dog form in Sunnydale... And of course awesomeness all around with him camping out at the Summers home after Buffy hit him with the car :) *giggles* Truly adored!
The last line was also priceless! I am very curious as to how/when Harry ended up with the Summers though. Hmm...
Anyways, fantastic story! I definitely would love to read more too! Thanks for writing!!

Ah, cute kitten!
A sequel is planned because, yeah, lots of stuff that needs to be addressed. It just might be a little while before it comes out.
Thank you for the review.
