   Summary

   Sirius was lying in a pool of his own blood, preparing for death. Was there any way to prepare for something which you can’t possibly be ready for? Sirius wasn’t ready to die. At least, not until he told Remus how sorry he was, and how much he loved him.

   Maybe Remus was his lifeline after all, the thing which kept him on Earth. Maybe, just maybe, Remus had the power to save Sirius Black, no matter how fucked up his life was.
