Summary
The Marauders were growing up these days – barely a week away from graduation, about to join the fight against Voldemort, falling in love and falling apart. Sometimes Sirius still wished for the early years, when Lily Evans paid James no attention and Remus's smile was unshadowed.

A few days before they leave Hogwarts, Sirius and Remus talk high on the Astronomy Tower at night.

Summary
He doesn’t think much about it, really. About the pain, the nightmares, the horrible memories.
It’s just been some hard days, weeks, maybe some months… a couple years. It doesn’t matter. But he’s here now, and Mikey is kissing him with so much love and adoration, he almost feels bad for being somewhere else, far in his mind and not letting him enjoy it at all.

Summary
As Gillion walks past his barrel to perch on the edge of the spare cot, he realizes 'empty' isn't the right word. He feels shattered. His hands are distant, discordant and foreign to him as he watches them resting atop his thighs in half-curled fists, thin fingers furling around nothing. He watches as his muscles contract, claws emerging mechanically before retreating back into their sheath. He acknowledges the sinkhole in his stomach, a pit he'd been aware of and ignoring for the last few days in favor of remaining in a functioning state. He's not sure when it happened. Maybe when he heard the original prophecy, maybe when he had to repeat it out loud. Maybe it came from seeing that statue outside of the old bar, or maybe it'd appeared much farther back, when a similar pit had opened in Chip's chest, in that throne room. Gillion tries not to think of the statue, of its blank face and moss-covered muscles. He tries not to think of the way his own body has strayed from that image, of how soft and round he is now in comparison to what he'd looked like before he'd been banished.
The bed shakes as someone sits down behind Gillion, and then Chip is knocking gently on his temple.
"Helloooo? Anyone home?"
