Summary
“If you could go anywhere in the universe right now, where would you go?”
Remus chews the inside of his cheek as he considers. He glances sideways at Sirius again. Reclined in the passenger seat with his feet kicked up on the dashboard, tapping the beat to the music, Sirius looks completely at home.
Here, probably, he thinks.
UK, 1977. Remus had a plan. He was going to take an idyllic road trip across America with his best friend. He was going to smoke a lot of weed and listen to a lot of Queen. He was going to write something that mattered. He wasn't going to be what his dad wanted him to be.
Getting bitten by a zombie dog wasn't part of his plan.
Now Remus is parentless, homeless, and searching for his friend on the off-chance he’s still out there. But as it happens, the universe has a plan for him, and it involves hitching a ride with a trio of posh boys who like to plunder fallen towns...and maybe saving humanity in the process.
It’s the zombie fucking apocalypse and Remus Lupin is still alive.
(A coming-of-age story, a tale of resistance, a celebration of found family, and a journey of learning to love yourself against the odds.)

Summary
It was then that Sirius Black realized he had spent the entirety of his life thus far submerged underwater, a slow and painful suffocation that had carried on for so long he hadn't even realized he was drowning. Not until Remus Lupin showed him what it was like to truly breathe.

Summary
In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.
In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.
In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.
These events are not connected.
But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

Summary
When Remus was younger, he was taught what was good and what was evil. What makes a hero and what makes a villain. Who was a saviour and who was a lost cause. And he was told that he had a monster within that was all of the bad things he feared becoming. But then, he learnt that it really was all to do with perspective.
And that changed everything.
