    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

    Summary

    The one where Andrew makes a perfectly reasonable request and Neil takes it too far like the dumbass he is.

    Or, relationships are complicated and communication is hard. They don't always nail it.

     

    So, Andrew has hit his limit. Neil’s charged silence next to him is so loud that Andrew can’t read over the buzz of it in his ears.

     

    “Get out,” he says, turning to glare at Neil.

     

    Neil blinks at him.

     

    “Whatever stupid thing you’re obsessing over. It’s irritating. I don’t have time to solve your problems for you. Handle it. I have to study.”

     

    Instantly, he realizes it was a mistake. He watches Neil’s face and body shutter up, closing tight like he’s locking down for a hurricane. It took so fucking long to get Neil to open up in the first place. Andrew had to peel him open one truth at a time. Fuck.

    Summary

    “You were so angry as a teenager.” Remus counters, wondering how they can still argue so easily after thirteen months apart, when even soft touches feel like open heart surgery. “We fought all the time. You didn’t know what to do- leaving Hogwarts was hard. Our last year was terrifying.”
    “I want it back.” Padfoot says, churlishly. Finally, his eyes open and meet the desolate ones in the glass. “I just want it back.”
    “Everyone does,” he says, softly, “don’t they?”
    Sirius says nothing. Slowly, he finishes dressing, pulling blue socks over his pale feet, and Remus doesn’t know how to apologise, how to fix it. Sirius burns with an unholdable, foldable, hideable hurt- the sort that lingers in silences and lurks in your shadow when the sun comes out.
    (aka, what if Sirius was the secret keeper after all?)

    Summary

    “As if we’d ever snog,” he tries to jest, but the words come out all wrong. His tone is too high-pitched, and his voice cracks on every vowel.

    Remus notices.

    He looks up, one brow arched. “We wouldn’t?”
