This is the most intense one-shot I've read in a while. Your writing is simply beautiful. This is seriously one of the most beautiful and one of the most heart-breaking pieces I've ever read. I love the depth it gives events that were only briefly recounted in the series at large. I feel like I'm closer to the characters and like I have a better, deeper perspective of events now. I'm not normally a fan of Remus and Sirius written as a couple, but you made it work for me in this. You made me feel everything you described in this. It was honestly quite gutting, but I like that. Every so often people need to get gutted by fiction.
Anyhow, I thoroughly enjoyed (if that's the right word for such a tragic tale) reading this. Very nice work, dear. :)
I feel so bad for Remus. Sirius, too, but mostly Remus for not knowing the truth. I wish he would have gone to see Sirius before he was put in Azkaban.
'"Make sure he tells them Harry loves pureed apples. And jelly, although Lily doesn’t like to give it to him. Lime is his favourite flavour. James and I used to sneak it to him.” A tear runs down his cheek but he pretends not to notice.'
That was such a cute line, it made me want to cry, haha
Great work.
