Team: Remus
Title: Between the Lines
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: horror, canon character deaths, werewolf conversion of five year old Remus, sexual references, angst
Word Count: 10,136
Summary: Remus had difficulty explaining his history to Sirius until Sirius suggested he write it down. Remus expressed himself in fairy tale form, using blood magic to include snippets of memory so Sirius would see the full story. He never expected another Black to pick up the book.
Notes: Traditional fairy tales have dark and often didactic origins which became milder with each retelling. I aim to mimic this by combining the ‘truth’ of how Remus became a werewolf with a sanitised version. ‘Actual’ events are in LJ/DW default colour, fairy tale in brown. Thanks beta A.
