dedicated to louise (whimsody) because tedromeda is her otp and even though this is badly written, i hope she'll find this vaguely okay.


Andromeda Black is dark. She shivers in the middle of the night, wondering why she is who she is and why it is that the man she loves is one her family will never approve of. She feels lost. Her family seem to be the opposite of her, sometimes. It is only Sirius that really, truly understands her, and he is but a child - how can she confide in him? Who can she tell that she doesn't believe in pure-blood ideals?

He is her sunshine, Ted. He lightens things up, makes everything seem okay. And the world is falling apart and the walls are crashing down, but he's there, and none of it seems to matter.

She leaves her family behind. They are the shadows, the dark side of the world. They are heavy tapestries, terrible responsibilities. They are dark curses, the plague.

When she escapes from her house, she doesn't look back once. She escapes from the darkness, and heads into the light, the sunshine.

Everything as is it is meant to be, Andromeda thinks. Things may continue to fall apart, dreams and visions of the Blacks may plague her, but she knows she'll be okay. Ted will be there to see her through.
