    Remus has a list of reasons why nothing will ever happen with Sirius. It's a good list. Thorough. He's been refining it for three years.

    One night in, it isn't.

    Summary

    Meet Remus John Lupin, your friendly neighborhood werewolf. Remus enjoys tutoring dumbass kids so he can feel better about his IQ, wallowing in his misery with weed and sweets, visiting cathedrals and churches so he can yell at God, and ragebaiting the bloodthirsty voices in his head. He's an incredibly multifaceted enigma with numerous hobbies and interests.

    As far as most people are concerned, Remus is an innocent sweater-wearing, tea-drinking, soft-spoken sweetheart with a passion for music and classic novels. It's such a shame that the poor dear has to share a room with hooligans like Potter and Black. He comes off as a rather shy, introverted soul who takes a while to warm up to you.

    Remus' headspace is another story entirely. This is his motherfucking circus now. The ringmaster is having a smoke out back, the clowns are on cocaine, the monkeys are bloody everywhere, and when he talks shit it steams more than a nun with a Mayfair magazine.

    So you have nothing to fear — you’re in good hands now. He is kind. He is clever. and he is one minor inconvenience away from abandoning civilisation to finish his dissertation on why everyone should drop dead

    Summary

    Remus didn’t know that his home was different from other people’s: a side effect of having no friends for the first 12 years of his life, coupled with an affliction that (should have) made that a lifelong endurance.
    Is it wrong that he longs for such obliviousness now?

    Summary

    “It’s an honour to be chosen,” his mother had said, her voice so sickly sweet it had made Sirius’ stomach churn. So artificial in its affection, a counterfeit of the love he had always craved from her. “Don’t you see the example you’ll set? The privilege to be remembered this way?

    It doesn't feel like a privilege. Whatever fancy words his mother used to dress this up as, he has been ostracised and left for dead. Worse than left for dead—willingly carted out to be devoured by the beasts that prowl the mountains and the forests.

    For Padfoot Fest 2025, prompt A37.
