Character/Pairing: Remus-centric, RemusSirius.
We were kings you and I, the entire world standing in the shadow of our thrones and lit by the gilded glitter of our crowns.
We were heroes once. Glory in the blood of our veins and just, good and fair inked across the strong planes of our backs and shoulders.
You were a knight, immortality stained in the spill of your laughter, and power in that silver-tongue of yours.
I was a monster, fear in the dark glimmer of my eyes and bloodlust in the lunar madness of my heart.
Together though, together we were gods. Destiny nothing more than thread at our fingertips and fate the warmth of sunlight at our backs.
They asked me in the aftermath what I was now - king, hero, monster. God? In the spaces left behind by three bodies there is only one word to answer with.
Loneliness is more assured than the gathering dark at nightfall and guilt is a sharp curl of steel in my belly.
In the aftermath, they asked me what I was - murderer, I answered.
