Summary
"When I woke up after that night, I felt disappointed," he began, not looking James in the eye. "not at Sirius or at Snape. I felt disappointed because.. because I woke up, I guess," James reared back, his heart sinking to his stomach. "I felt disappointed because, after years of trying to convince myself that I wasn't like other werewolves, that I was still good, that I wasn't a monster... I was proven wrong."
OR: After The Prank that Sirius plays on Snape, Remus decides to leave Hogwarts. He spirals into self-hatred, doing anything to forget about his former friends and "monstrous" self. Eventually, though, his friends find him. Things only get worse after that.

Summary
Sixth year. The Marauders are growing older, the world is growing darker, and Remus Lupin is running out of strength he never had to spare.
What starts as ordinary exhaustion after the full moon slowly becomes something heavier, quieter, and far more dangerous. Remus is thinner than he should be, angrier than he wants to be, and terrified of the way his body keeps betraying him. He is the one who is meant to be steady, dependable, fine — even when he isn’t.
James worries too loudly. Peter worries too quietly. Sirius worries like it’s a war he intends to win. And none of them know how to help without breaking something fragile inside him.
Full moons get worse. Bones break. Tempers snap. Care becomes something painful and desperate and necessary. Remus is unraveling, and his friends refuse to let him do it alone — whether he likes it or not.
A slow burn descent and recovery story about hunger, anger, vulnerability, and the terrifying tenderness of being loved when you don’t believe you deserve it.

Summary
The world seemed to narrow to just the two of them as Sirius dropped to the crouch, icy eyes softening the moment they met Remus’. His expression shifted from exuberant to quiet concern in an instant, his smile turning tender.
“You look awful,” he murmured, brushing a hand through Remus’ hair with careful fingers. The motion was gentle, reverent, like he was afraid of hurting him, or maybe like he knew exactly how much he already hurt.
Remus let his eyes close for a second, lashes fluttering at the touch. Everything was too warm, the fire, the blankets, Sirius’ skin; but he leaned into it anyway, chasing the comfort.

Summary
The all consuming obsession continued through the war, somehow, Sirius focusing more on a random boat that had sunk more than three years prior than on the way their lives were imploding and their relationship was falling apart. Whenever Remus managed to come home, small absences from the pack which were far and few in-between, Sirius could barely stand to look him in the eye.
All Remus wanted was a hug from the person he loved most in the world. He never got it.
When everything was over, the war ended and their relationship in tatters, Sirius asked him to visit the site where the ship sank beneath the waves, and Remus didn’t think to ask things like when or how or, most importantly, why, before he answered, “Yes.”
