1 " James pushes further into Sirius’s side wondering when it’ll stop. The crying. The pain. He isn’t at all certain that it will. This heartbreak feels endless. This heartbreak eats him whole. "

2 " Sirius is well acquainted with what James’s voice sounds like when he cries. Choked and thin. It’s a sound that could call Sirius from a mile away—tell him he was needed. That someone was going to die because, as far as he’s concerned, no one makes James Potter cry and gets away with it. "
3 " Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. "
4 " Don’t go to troy. "
5 " The only reasons I can think of for you listening to Dumbledore- and don't give me that following orders bullshit Remus, I know you too well, you're as much of a rule follower as I am- so either you really, honestly, don't trust Sirius or... or you're punishing him. Because you and I both know that the easiest way to hurt Sirius Black is to leave him. "
6 " Suddenly it seems important. Important that they know. That somebody know; that after everything, Regulus Black finally made the right choice. "

8 " James flattens his palm over the letters, like he's trying to press them into his skin. Like he's trying to force a hole in space and time and go back to when they were written. He knows what they mean of course. Knows what this is.It's an I love you.Reg never said it back that last time.He carved them into stone but he couldn't say it.Not when James was walking away.The same way Sirius had walked away.I love you.
