Severus was enraged the likes of which he had not suffered for a very, very long time. How dare she claim to have ever 'loved' Remus and then so callously tell Remus that the youngest daughter-of-his-heart was going to be executed in such a way? Not the slightest drop of sympathy or compassion or even an attempt to gently break the news, but to spew it with hate and vitriol...

Had she not left at the very instant she had done, Severus would have shown her hexes to make her know he had been a Death Eater!

As it was, the wand in his hand trembled with the effort to hold back his fury. Remus could not be burdened with this, now.

Severus was a master of delayed-gratification-vengeance. Nymphadora Tonks would rue the day she ever let her Black Blood spill forth.

"She'll not speak to you that way again," he retorted, his voice harsh with fury. "Not if I have to pluck out her tongue."

His own grief thundered inside him like a maelstrom, wanting release, vent, blood, destruction, vengeance"Had she stayed another moment, I'd have ( ... )

Thin, strong arms clamped tightly around him and Remus gave in to the trembling he'd been trying valiantly to stave off since Nevin first invaded their home that morning. He clung desperately to the only lifeline he could see in this entire fucked up situation, the door at his back the only thing preventing him from dragging them both to the ground in a miserable heap.

"I don't think I can do this," he said thickly, inhaling deeply with the hopes the beloved scent of Severus would help him to remain calm. "I laid four of them to rest on that mountain. That was supposed to be the last. We were supposed to be safe, the war over. We have lives, jobs, lovers. I can't lose another one, Severus. Not now. Dammit, not like thisHe could feel tiny tremors through the wiry muscles under his hands, as though it was almost too much exertion for the arms surrounding him to hold so tightly, yet neither man seemed willing to let go. Raising his head, he kept one arm wrapped tightly about Severus' waist, the other hand carding soothingly ( ... )

It was impossible not to be sympathetic to Remus' hopelessness. Severus tightened his arms around him still further, as though willing himself to be strong enough to support the unsupportable ( ... )

Eying his lover critically, Remus pursed his lips rather than lecture on the need to take care of themselves so they would be able to take care of the others, or Mandy herself should they succeed in bringing her home. Still, he doubted how much sleep the other man had gotten. He would need to find a way to convince him to get some more sleep later -- Nymphadora Tonks' accusations of uncaring be damned!

"That's right. Boundless shagging. Shame I missed it." Sighing heavily, unable to find true humor in the jest, Remus leaned against the door at his back, pulling Severus closer again into an embrace more of comfort than desperation. His arm remained firmly wrapped around the other man's waist, as though as long as they remained together, neither could falter. His free hand stroking idly through fine dark hair. He could hear the bitterness lacing Severus' tone and was reasonably certain he could surmise the source.

"Don't let her words affect you. She doesn't know and can't seem to understand...well, anything. To borrow Mad- ( ... )
