    Summary

    Sirius Black has always been beautiful—always been pretty, been attractive, been desirable. He leans into it, to the comments and the gossip and the compliments and insults alike. He prides himself on his appearance, and his hair most of all. Growing it out had been the tiniest, earliest act of rebellion aside from being sorted into Gryffindor. He likes that it’s dark and thick and shiny, that it stretches down past his shoulders and curls at the ends just so. He likes that it’s long enough to be tied into braids when he’s gossiping with the girls, likes the way it settles around his ears and on his neck, like the way it feels when Remus pulls on it just so.

    Then, in unison with his entire life falling apart, it’s gone.

    OR: Sirius Black gets a haircut, a potted plant, and a whole lot of metaphors, in that order.

    Summary

    Klaus somehow, somehow, figures out how to manifest himself visibly, as some sort of shade passing as a living man, to talk a high-as-a-kite Luther into going home. He doesn’t touch Luther once, and his ghostly self feels a bit lightheaded, but he walks beside Luther until they’re back to the Academy and Luther has fallen asleep on the staircase.

    “I’ll tell him I’m dead when he’s sober,” Klaus tells Ben. “I’ll do it.”

    “Okay,” says Ben.

    Klaus doesn’t.

    --

    When Klaus dies on the dance floor, God kicks him out of the afterlife. But she only kicks him out halfway.
