Sirius/Remus drabble

Title: Post-Mortem
Ship: Sirius/Remus
Rating: PG
For: tehgenius
This is my first attempt at Sirius/Remus, so be kind. :O) And for all the Antipodeans formerly of FAP, the beautiful Rach requested, and was granted, the use of our favourite word. *grins*



Post-Mortem

He refuses to believe it. It simply cannot be happening. It can’t.

If only it were that easy. But he saw it with his own eyes. And it’s all over. He’s gone.

The man he loves is gone. The one who used to make him do his homework and would sneak into his bed to reward him when he got high marks. The one who grabbed his hand and led him excitedly about a house that could soon become their home. The one who suffered thirteen years believing himself betrayed. The one who helped to heal him. The one who would run long fingers from his head to his toes, lingering over the parts he knew tickled. The one that would kiss him every day. The one he loved.

Sirius sits there in silence, girt by friends who are mourning the loss just like he is. Every once in a while one of them will come and talk to him, leaving after a few minutes of being ignored. Harry is the only one Sirius will allow to stay with him. His godson sits by his side and rubs his back soothingly while he himself grieves for his lost friend. Harry is the only family he has left now, now that his soul mate has left him.

Sirius wonders how he will be able to function without him. The only thing that kept him alive all those years in Azkaban was knowing that Remus was out there believing the worst of him and he had to stay sane to break out and prove to him that their youth wasn’t a lie. So without Remus, who was his goal, his purpose, his anchor, was he destined to float away into obscurity?

Only time would tell. Time Sirius didn’t particularly feel like giving.

:o So sad! He's not going to go jump off a cliff now is he? Poor Sirius, it sounds like it! But nice work, very nicely written Siren.

GIRT!!! Ahahaha. And it really is formerly of FAP now, isn't it? Now we've mostly jumped ship to LJ and our poor little thread is very nearly needing a post-mortem of its own.

I couldnt help it - the title Rach gave me screamed 'death' which meant angst and depression. Hopefully Sirius will be okay. *hugs Sirius*

So much love for girt. :O) I havent been to FAP in so long, I wonder if anyone is still posting there...

Hehehe Girt. Stupidest word in a national anthem. Ever.

Poor Sirius.

I liked this one. =D

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Girt is love. :O)

Thanks for reading - so glad you liked it.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

It is rather awesome. Stupid though, hehehe. =D

[letmypidgeonsgo.livejournal.com]

Aww! So sad!

Yet of course my perverted mind immediately sees the possibility of a Harry/Sirius comfort sequel [note to self: stop reading teh pr0n!]

I liked how, for the first paragraph or so, it could be either one of them being referred to. Dunno if you intended for that too happen, but it's kinda cool!

And you just knew I'd use this icon, right? ;)

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Well, I dont think I will be writing a Harry/Sirius sequel. Stop reading teh pr0n. :O)

Of course I knew you would use that icon. *grins*

Thanks for reading.

[letmypidgeonsgo.livejournal.com]

well no, i wasnt implying you'd be writing a sequel - you've yet to be corrupted ::evil cackle::

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

I dont mind Sirius/Harry (in small doses) - but I'm not good at writing slash...

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

haven't read yet, just fangirling the icon!

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

awww that's sweet and sad.

and yes, the word 'girt' should be banned from national anthems, but used freely in fanfic!

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much.

So much love for girt. Not only do I love the word, but I love how much everyone hates it. Its an awesome word but sounds so stupid in the anthem. :O)

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

*grins* The icon is so worthy of fangirling.

That was so good except for one little thing. The girt. Totally kills the mood when you start giggling in a fic like this. Other than that it was really well done, especially for your first attempt.

Oh- I liked the reversal there. I was expecting it to be Remus...

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

No, giggling is no good in a fic like this. :O) I'm glad you liked it. I actually was going to make it Remus but then I realised making it Sirius would be more unexpected. I like that its catching everyone off guard.

Long live girt.

Excuse me but you seem to be on the internet and yet not on MSN. There's a bunch of us here who'd love to chat with you! In other words: GET YOUR ARSE ON CHAT. ♥

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

I'm on the laptop with no MSN. :O( And besides, My Name is Earl and LOST is on soon. Season finale - come on!!!

But say hi to everyone for me!!!

[tehgenius.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh, it's both angsty and beautifully touching at the same time. For a non-puppyshipper, you have them pretty down pat. Perhaps you should consider CONVERTING FOREVERANDEVER?

Just kidding (:

Also, loved the girt. It actually makes sense where it is XD

xx

Yay - I'm so glad you liked it. I really wasnt sure if I got it right or not so I'm thrilled that you liked it. I actually tried to write S/R not long after entering fandom - I was inspired by the song The Sound of White (which screams S/R to me) and started writing but it wasnt very good and too similar to a lot of other fics so I abandoned it.

Ah, girt, how we love thee. :O)
