PROMPT FILL: "The Hardest Word" (Pairing: could be R/S or gen) [Warnings: Mild profanity]shimotsukiAugust 18 2015, 03:40:42 UTC
Apologies were for the meek, not for the bold. They were for people who didn't feel their place in the world (on top of the world), viscerally, through the soles of their boots.
They were certainly not for the fearless heir to the House of Black.
They...
They were bloody damn difficult, is what they were.
Especially now that Sirius had done the worst possible thing he could have imagined in a hundred lifetimes.
He hated the way Remus always looked past him. Sat with Evans in classes, instead of where he belonged. Smiled politely (distantly, from across a hundred lifetimes), no matter what ridiculous or asinine remark Sirius threw his way. Trapped himself inside the Shack, because with only Prongs and Wormtail there, everyone agreed it was too dangerous for the wolf to run free (and everyone, even Peter, looked sidewise at Sirius when that pronouncement was made).
The one time he had slipped and said Moony, Remus had sat frozen for a full twenty seconds before standing up and walking away. Walking away. Away"I'm sorry

Oh wow, this is so lovely and painful and everything I could have ever hoped for out of this prompt. It's so poignant with so few words. Just wonderful.

Thanks -- I was hoping angsty would be okay. ;) I would have loved to try for something longer, but I only found out about the commentfest a couple of days ago!
