Summary:

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow —

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

 

- Edgar Allen Poe

Summary:

Remus and Sirius never reconcile after the Prank in year five because Remus is unable to get past how, in his words, “Sirius would snog him in secret and then send someone for him to kill while transformed”. After missing most of his final school years out in dangerous Order missions that culminate in Voldemort being defeated, Remus goes on to travel around and study Dark creatures with his father. Eight years after the end of the war, Remus isn't expecting to be called up by Dumbledore with a professor position for him to fill– or to find Sirius at Hogwarts as well, teaching Ancient Runes and raising Harry Potter. Surprised and a tad overwhelmed, he tries to focus on what he already has on his plate: a very sick mum, a new job and his good ole’ furry little problem. So, when old feelings sneak up on him, Remus decides not to act upon them. Or not to act upon them again.
