    Summary

    Remus has always loved music more than anything and he and Sirius stay out late, really late, going to rough punk shows and stumbling home smelling like smoke with bruised faces, bloodied lips, and just enough adrenaline to go around. Lily gets her tongue pierced because she likes to torture her boyfriend, scratch that, fiancée. There’s a lot of love. Things are the way that they should be.

    It’s fun until it’s not.

    Sirius’s schedule starts to revolve around when he has to be sober, and no one has to know if he shows up on missions hungover, right? Or a little tipsy? Lily gets pregnant at twenty years old and regrets it more than she’s regretted anything- especially when her husband’s parents died last year, and her own dad, and the Death Eaters are targeting Order members’ families these days.

    They deserved a few more years of fun but the world just had other plans for them. At some point, they keep waking up but it never feels any better. All they can do is hold out hope.

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

    Summary

    After the Battle, Harry thinks he's left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco's just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He's hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems. Unfortunately for him, Potter appears to be one of those problems. And that's not even addressing the fact that Potter's got serious issues of his own, which Draco realises as he's forced to share an Eighth Year dormitory room and several classes with the Gryffindor Git. If only they can make it through the year without killing each other, it should be all right, shouldn't it?

    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”
