“But that was half of the problem with James - he so embodied those unrealistic values of loyalty, justice, and honour, that he forced you to believe in them too.” 🥲🥲

“But after he loses him, he realizes that he’s not the master of everything. No one can control death.” Someone sedate me, the foreshadowing makes me SICKKK😭

Genuinely feel like my heart is simultaneously being crushed and stitched back together

“It was James, who had an ego the size of the lake, but a heart to match it.”🥲🥲🥲

ADORE this fic, my heart already hurts. I’m happy to be re-reading it but I have many thoughts about this and other fanfics getting published (also I truly don’t think it can stand on its own as a tradpub piece, but that’s a rant for another time).

Sirius my sweet baby
