    Summary

    James would never, never have considered that Sirius would give up Remus’s secret. But he did, and Snape paid the price with his life.

    Some things are so integral to your being, you don't notice them until they are lost. In the blood-soaked aftermath of the worst day of his life, James Potter realizes his priorities are not what he thought they were, and the fabric of time and reality is a paper-thin nuisance compared to his resolve.

    James holds time in his hands and breaks it.

    Summary

    "Do not waste your youth, my boy. Trust me, this will be good for you."--"Life is for living, my boy. You won't learn nearly as much from the library. "--"How better to keep you out of trouble, my boy? Not to mention, you've earned it. So very bright you are, son."
    Severus Snape wishes for nothing more than to wrap his trembling fingers around the old fool's neck so tight they can only squeeze and not shake.
    The cabin is jerking and vibrating. Lights flicking on overhead contraptions. Fasten seat belts, something, radio signal going out, light-lights, something red and eerie, another announcing that oxygen masks have been deployed. The strobing flashes blinding Snape as he struggles to breathe into the bag at his face.

    (Snape and the Marauders survive a plane crash, and must now learn to live together on a deserted island through the disaster. But what's Snape to do when one of the Marauders begins acting...strangely towards him. No Magic, semi-major character death, and a relatively hopeful/happy ending. Low-key inspired by Lord of The Flies, with some references to it.)
