    Summary

    Surviving meant explaining. Surviving meant sitting here and defending his pain to the very people who had built it into him.

    And God, he hated them for it. He hated himself for still breathing.
    He hated the bullet that missed the right spot and kept him alive.

     

    What the hell am I supposed to say? That I tried to die because Dad is cruel? Because you’re useless? Because I feel like a splinter under my own skin every second of the day?

     

    His pulse throbbed under the gauze, sharp, insistent.

     

    Do I tell you I never fit here, that I thought maybe I’d fit somewhere else, in the afterlife, if there even is one? Do I say it was because I like a boy? Because wanting him, hiding it, watching myself from a distance every day until I couldn’t breathe anymore…it killed me before the bullet did?

    Summary

    No one, it turns out, really knows one another.

     

    (OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

    Summary

    What if your eyes changed color depending on your mood?

    -------

    Before James could respond, the dark haired boy stood up, dusting off his pants lightly.

    “Always gold brimmed around me, Potter. Sometimes red. Sometimes … black.” His voice didn’t rise; it stayed even, clinical almost, as if he was reciting one of the emotion charts that Healers used. “Must you hate me this much, Potter?”

    Grey met a storm of different hues of red brimmed with a glowing gold. Fitting for a Gryffindor.

    James’ jaw tightened. “And what do yours mean then, Baby Black? Because they’re always the same. Cold and empty.”

    The others' eyes then flickered. His composure cracking. Dark blue bled through the cracks of his silvery grey. Much like a stormy night sky, before it vanished just as fast as it came.

    “That’s the point, Potter.”

    “Don’t,” Sirius tells him “It’s a long story.”

    “Good things we have the whole night to navigate that story.”

    Or

    After Sirius broke up with his ex-boyfriend, he struggles with trusting new people and letting them in until a certain stranger walks into his life in the middle of the night.

    Summary

    little holiday fic because i miss christmas

    sirius and remus are at the potters over christmas, getting together fic.

    sirius writes in a diary about how much he loves remus but can't say this to remus because sirius black is an idiot, which is a known fact.
    jealousy, inability to communicate, and lots of obvious love and caring ensues.

    minor angst but ultimately just a short, fluffy little thing because i love them and i love journaling and i support journaling! it cures everything!
