Summary
It, he says. Us. You. Me. Sirius is suspended above them, himself, watching from among those stars whose existence he so covets. They, this, it looks so small from so far away, but it is an entire cosmological system. It is the slight webbing between his fingers and toes, the evolutionary foible that persists after deliverance to something higher. Something God-like, they say. It is the netting of his veins under his skin that so kindly keeps him alive, alert, human. It is the pounding of his heart, the fluttering in his stomach, the catch of breath in his lungs. It is the world lost to the darkness of Remus’s irises, which so eagerly and intently fall upon Sirius lately. Now.
It. Us. This.
“What is this?”
Or: Love is a fickle thing in the clumsy hands of youth, and Sirius learns this in the one place he had everything to lose.
