    Summary

    It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.

    (This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)

    **

    “Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.

    “There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”

    “How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”

    “Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.

    Summary

    You want him to say it: take me back, make us whole again. You want to be him again and you want him to want to be you again. You’re so sure he wants this as much as you do, but you can’t know what he wants the same way you can feel everything else. You’re tempted to take him apart and consume him and become him again, regardless of if he asks or not.

    You don’t. You love him too much to take this from him.

    (Dream splits himself from the universe. This is how it happens.)

    oh my god shes so fucking delusional <3
    future rob reading this will fill you with dread and disgust -- this is not healthy. please do not emulate this. bad things represented in really good writing does not make said bad things good. read your sciencedaily articles and find good relationships

    tldr DO NOT REREAD IF YOU ARENT IN A STABLE PLACE MENTALLY

    edit: reread-- i LOVE the ending good lawd

    Summary

    He isn’t going to spill his guts to this woman surrounded by guinea pig merchandise, he absolutely is not— but then he remembers the world is ending tomorrow, so, what the hell.

    “I just want him to choose me,” Crowley says. “For once, I want him to fucking choose me, over… over…” His mind reaches frantically for a human-appropriate metaphor to couch his whole impossible situation in, and eventually finds one.

    “...over God.”

    ***

    (Crowley and Fleabag share a moment, in the middle of their stories.)
