    "Farewell, farewell! One kiss, and I'll descend." - Romeo and Juliet

    Remus Lupin had experienced two great loves in his life, and both of them began with a kiss from Sirius Black.

    When two boys from troubled backgrounds fall in love, it feels like the beginning of something beautiful. The Marauders strut out into the world with bright eyes and brave hearts. As the mounting pressure of the war creeps into everyone's psyches, they all find ways to cope. Some better than others.

    [First installment in a two part series examining the first and second war respectively. The second work is a direct sequel, but this can be read as a standalone.]

    Summary

    They’re so close. Sirius can feel Remus’ hot, bated breath on his skin. He can see every one of Remus’ honey freckles and the white spiderwebs that course through his scar tissue. He can hear every one of Remus’ sharp inhales and shaky exhales; It’s the only sound he can hear above his own heart racing through his veins.

    And his heart is doing that —racing. But it’s not like a thud, thud, thud in his chest or even a soft, fluttering sound like a warm, Irish lilt. The sound is more like a swoosh, like a pendulum swing, jumping from white-hot anticipation to cold-blooded fear and back again.

    -or-

    Remus is a storm blowing through Sirius’ small town and Sirius is laid out on the waterlogged cobblestone streets waiting to be washed away.
