    Summary

    The universe times it just right.

    They meet at a certain stage in life where everything is all impulse and curiosity, where you can get away with anything and maybe a scraped knee or detention to show for it, but it never lasts, it never hurts for longer than a week, at least, depending on what you’ve done.

    Maybe it’s because James Potter is too friendly for his own good, always running his mouth. He sets everything in motion, at least.

    But Sirius Black has never had real friends before, not like this, and a little brother plus a deranged old house elf don’t count. Even if they both let you win at chess every time you play.

    And Peter Pettigrew is used to playing along, and Remus Lupin just wants to share his passion for Muggle rock n' roll with someone who understands, you know?

    So they’re young and so it means everything to share a compartment on a train on a warm day in September, in 1971, and the universe got something right because that one day stretches an entire lifetime. And maybe beyond that, too. Maybe all the way to the other side.

    Summary

    “Well,” Remus says quietly, “you don’t let people know you."

    “And you’re saying you know me?” Sirius drawls, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the only one?”

    The half-arsed derision in his tone doesn’t seem to surprise or intimidate Remus. He only smiles, knowing.

    It is one thing to love a person; it is quite another to see them as they truly are and to love them all the same. And sometimes, Sirius thinks, he’d rather die than let anybody see beneath the defensive facade of his brave face.

    From 1971 to 1978, the Hogwarts years of obsession, betrayal, recklessness, lies, too much drink, insecurity, and all eclipsing sexual frustration. Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense. Seven years for Sirius to finally admit to himself that what he wants is not only to be loved, but to be known entirely. And therein lies the difficulty.

    Summary

    People make mistakes, but they also make choices. It’s important to James, that difference. He does his best not to confuse the two.
