Wow! Both of today's offerings were truly wonderful in a lovely, understated way.
This was beautifully written and very moving. I love the way that you captured the gentle domesticity of what was surely a momentous moment for Remus. that awful letter seemed at once at contrast to the lovemaking and the stew and the morning shadows and yet it was very much a part of it as well. And that's real life, isn't it? Most great changes and ominous portents fall during the delicate intimacy of an average day.
I really loved this bit: Sirius’ whole body shudders forward in an attempt to press closer. He wants to absorb Remus into himself, or be absorbed by him, whichever would allow him to keep Remus always—this desperate, needy Remus with his pupils blown wide and a glint of mischief in his grin. I've always thought of Sirius' lovemaking to be that way, He so wants to get lost in it and in Remus. To really be a part of him and shrink their world until it was just them.

Again, this was really lovely.
