   Summary

   James Potter was used to being the sun, shining bright for all around him. His friends, his boyfriend's, even the random person at the coffee shop whose day was made better because of him. James lived and loved with his entire heart, but what happens on the days the sun is too covered by clouds to be seen? Who takes care of him then?

   Barty Crouch Jr. is a man consumed by his past but determined to not let it define him. He loves so purely, even if he can't always physically show it. When James's depression comes to an all time low and the others aren't there to take care of him, can Barty be that person for him? Or will the ghosts of his past come back to haunt him?
