Day 7 - Team Moon - Fic: Peftastéri
Team: Moon
Title: Peftastéri
Rating: R
Warnings: War Imagery, Violence, Character Death, (Some) Swearing
Word Count: 26,300
Summary: Remus Lupin joins the Levanian Army as a soldier, hoping that, if nothing else, he'll die with a full stomach. One night, he accidentally saves a falling star known to humans as Sirius. Bound by magical contract, Sirius vows to stay by Remus's side until he can return the favor, which quickly becomes a pain for both of them. At first.
Notes: I cannot thank my betas enough: G, M, A, and K were all absolutely vital in this process, and without them, this wouldn't have turned out the way it did. (It'd also have way more adverbs and comma splices.)
Special thanks to DM for accidentally inspiring this entire concept! I hope it lives up to your expectations.
This story borrows from many others aside from Harry Potter. I shall list them here to give credit where credit is due: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones; The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; The Little Princess as directed by Alfonso Cuarón; and, of course, Stardust by Neil Gaiman.
Prompt: #48 - "A philosopher once asked, 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?' Pointless, really...'Do the stars gaze back?' Now, that's a question." - from the movie Stardust
