A/N: I'm not entirely sure what this is. Simply put, it's a collection of Remus/Sirius drabbles based around Our Lady Peace's 2002 album "Gravity". The album is my favourite by OLP, and as I was listening to it the last time, I noticed that there were lyrics in every song that seemed to fit Remus and Sirius' relationship. So I set out to write a sort of concept fic, with a chapter for each song on the album. They aren't really songfics, more like pieces inspired by certain lyrics in the songs. They span from the Marauder era to HBP/DH, but are not in chronological order.
Now that you've made it through this ridiculously long author's note: I hope you enjoy!
Gravity
By: Sinnamon Spider
All For You (Pre-Halloween 1981)
It's all for you
You got me where you want
It's all for you
Just stop breaking my heart
You're the blood, I'm the seed
And it's all that I need
Got me where you want
It's all for you
You got me, oh, you got me
Sirius is trapped. Trapped in a lie, trapped in the truth, trapped in his head. Dancing to his tune. Living for him, breathing for him, being for him. Lying for him.
Every word can be traitorous, every silence can be deadly. Hesitation spells doom, and a slip of the tongue tastes of disaster. Unscheduled absence whispers "I don't trust you", reluctance declares "I'm hiding something from you", and being caught in a lie is to say "I don't love you anymore".
He lives on tenterhooks, walks on thin ice, and sleeps in broken glass. Every day that passes, he can feel them fracture a little further, feel the cracks widen, get a little deeper.
Sirius has never felt so out of control.
But all he knows is that he will do anything to stay with Remus.
On the day that Remus tells him to get out, throws a whispered declaration of distrust and suspicion across the heavy tension of the room, he fractures again.
He leaves.
And on the doorstep, he fractures completely.
