[3][Book][Harry Potter] Lupin Black and Tonks: This Is All You See
Behind the cut lie spoilers and speculations.
Lupin Black and Tonks: This Is All You See
Maybe you believe in Remus/Sirius. Maybe you believe in Remus/Tonks. Maybe I believe in both. All around there are moments we missed in reading the books: the Marauders' childhood, the non-kid-friendly version of Sirius's ordeals in Azkaban, what may have happened down the road had any of them lived - lonely hearts pining for lonely hearts. Questions that have been left unanswered and gaps that have been left unfilled.
Maybe I believe in filling in gaps.
x Your Thesaurus Won't Help You Now - Paper Moon
We never saw Remus's initial confession to Sirius, and the way he labored over each and every syllable, not quite knowing how to say I think I'm in love with you and you do fancy boys, don't you in the same breath.
and now the ultimatum has been given and I find myself so unprepared
to spill emotions that have remained undeclared
x Intermittently - Barenaked Ladies
We never saw Sirius's fall from grace into love with Remus, and the thousands of different forms of denial he was in before he landed on the truth.
she's a lot like you but she don't look like you
okay she's not you but she'll do fine
I put my life on hold to avoid confrontation
or should I tell you to your face and risk my hide?
x We Are The New Black - Tremolo
We never saw Sirius not running away from his ridiculous household so much as to a place where the Marauders were eternal and where he could make Remus howl in all new ways.
We are the music of the streets, the style that goes unseen
a different way to be, friends with enemies
look that never ends, love is the new trend
we are the new black, we're the new black
ah-ah-ah-ooooooo
x Blue - Angie Hart
We never saw Remus's worst nights of lycanthropy, and his desperation just to make it through the night when James was gone with Lily and no one could quite find Peter, could they, and Sirius was all he had.
I fell into the moon
and it covered you in blue
I fell into the moon
can I make it right, can I spend the night?
x Home With Me - Nathan
We never saw the way Remus struggled with the law - and with his own heart - when he realized that he was the last person left alive who believed that Sirius was innocent.
I bet you have the kind of eyes crinkled up at the edges, a secret map
trails etched in skin, situations you've been in (though it never got quite this dramatic)
bandwagon landslide down a pile growing higher
and the worst thing is the first thing we believe
x History of Punctuation - Paper Moon
We never saw the dozens of letters that Remus wrote to Sirius while he was gone, attempting to say in prose what he knew he could never say in speech, which was that he just could not do this any more; and unfortunately, neither did Sirius.
third person has become the easiest role to take
unconquerable and virtuous, accepting of it all
watching it all from the length of your arms
separates the pen from your life, your friends from your fall
your pleading intentions are ignored without resolve
building together runs on and on and on
the last time we spoke was marked up with hope
then you reappeared; the silence indicates the end
x The Play - Iris
We never saw Tonks's first confession of love to Remus, back before his excuse was "you deserve better," back when his excuse was "I deserve worse."
he sees her now
she wanders up to him with an innocence that he knows
deep inside, and nothing shows
there's something 'bout the way she opens up her palm
x Revolving Dora - Fountains of Wayne
We never saw it coming, the precise moment at which Remus learned he loved (though perhaps was not in love) with Nymphadora Tonks; and unfortunately, neither did Remus.
and she's turning out to be
immune to gravity
she's a lot like you; not much like me
x Back In Your Head - Tegan & Sara
We never saw - and never got to see - the day that Tonks woke up, went to feed the baby, got back to the bed, and didn't recognize the man beside her as the one she married.
build a wall of books between us in our bed
repeat, repeat the words that I know we both have said
relax into the need, we get so comfortable
remember when I was so strange and likeable?
I just want back in your head
x Shoe Box - Barenaked Ladies
We never saw what's left over in the last box they pulled out of 12 Grimmauld Place before they burned it to the ground, the box even Kreacher wouldn't dare to touch, the box that James Sirius Potter and Theodore Remus Lupin almost wished had burned along with the house after they looked through what was inside it.
was it something I said or was it something you read
that's making you think that I should never have come here?
I can offer you lies, I can tell you goodbye
I can tell you I'm sorry, but I can't tell the truth, dear
xxx every maybe if and what about a bit of give a shred of doubt? (full zip)
