Firstly: If this author's note is going to put you off reading the story then move to the next chapter now.
Basic Key:
Italics are memories I.e. the past. Or emphised words… I'm sure you'll be able to distinguish the two.
Secondly: This has only been rated PG-13 on the suggestion of my friend David who told me that G implied it was a children's story. Shards most definitely is not. It's an exploration of a man going mad, so if that's not for you I'd go find some nice R/S fluff [see my favourites list perhaps] now before it gets started.
Thirdly: On that note Remus and Sirius are both straight in this story as I needed Sirius to be closer to James than he was to Moony so please whatever you do don't write me a lovely review ending it "and I loved the sexual tension between Remus and Sirius" because I've tried… really I have and hopefully there should be none because the relationship between them is STRICTLY PLATONIC.
Thank you: Losselen [for giving me a title that wasn't "Siriusly Unhinged"] David [for reading story and pronouncing it worth posting] Smithy [for helping me bounce ideas off] and Becca [for correcting all my grammar and getting rid of the parts than without diagrams to explain would be completely impossible to understand.]
