Warnings:
vivid descriptions of violence, physical and emotional abuse, child abuse, the effects of childhood trauma, verbal abuse, humiliation and shaming, light bullying, mental illnesses - depression, anxiety, ptsd, depersonalization... mild caning and humiliation as corporal punishment by teachers. (which was only banned in 1999 here in U.K, though the humiliation and some physical assault still happened long after that) I think that is all, but if I've missed anything *please* let me know. There will be absolutely no sexual abuse or rape mention, at all.

ღღღღ Sirius Black has always been one of my comfort characters. I related to him in many ways and always envisioned him comforting me during the many dark and torturous nights of my childhood. I wrote this short, to help me process some of my own childhood trauma. I didn't intend to share this piece, but I've been encouraged to do so... so... here we are.

Only read if you are prepared with and accept the knowledge that it may go to a dark place, but characters will find solace, safety and comfort. Please read the warnings and look after yourself too. gentle hugs ღღღღ
