RS_Games: have some minimalist angst
Title: The Song of Forgetting, In C Minor
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: referenced light drug use, implied sexual situations, ambiguous ending
Word Count: 1500
Summary: The first memory comes out easy, two days later, slips from his temple into the jar like a fish being released into a bowl of water. Remus watches the silver strand loop and wrap around itself, settling into a shimmering knot.
This author did a phenomenal job conveying years of Remus' pain and emotion in so few words. I had never really considered, either, the idea that Remus would deliberately forget things in order to survive those 12 years, but it makes a lot of sense, and this author shaped in such a great way, that it's not swish-flick-sadness-gone, but a long process and a sort of mourning in itself.
