    Summary

    It wasn’t until the sky burned in the fevered orange of the setting sun that Remus Lupin felt alive. Throughout his day, he moved slow and careful, half conscious with his eyes half open, auto-piloting his feet across the earth and sighing his way through conversations.
    But at night, he lived.

    Remus Lupin could confess things in the dark that he couldn’t even allow himself to think about in the light. Things like 'sometimes I don’t think I’m real' and 'I’m terrified to talk because I don’t know who would listen' and 'I’m not sure how to act like a person'.
    But the stars didn’t judge. Constellations were kind. And the moon only ever cared.

    Above him, the sky danced.
    And Remus let out a gut-wrenching, throat aching, heart breaking scream.
    He wasn’t sure why, and it was over as soon as it started.
    The night absorbed his sorrow and the stars responded in soft twinkles, the moon in silver, calming light. He collapsed into the cool grass.
    And Remus Lupin felt alive.
