despite everything i'm still human

he sees himself. his reflection looks the same, but there is a knowing glint in his eye. he knows, arthur realises. he knows exactly the function of a rubber duck.

he. could. have. raised. him.

How do you know?

fingertips; we were always at the tips of each others fingers, soft touches but still just out of reach. it felt forbidden, but in reality it was just uncharted territory. scars; he saw the darkest parts of me and did his best to turn them into the brightest. he knew i was a monster and he made me human. he made my scars feel human. war; fire that once spread through our veins now blazed across the earth. struck fear in both of us, scared one of us would come home and the other would be gone. (words.)

imagine bein g remus lupin and after so many years finding yourself in front of the face that hunts your nightmares every single night: he killed all your best friends, betrayed everything you fought for all your life and crushed your heart like it was a dead leaf. but still, you love him so desperately that you can’t point your wand at him and you want him to speak, to tell you it was all just that, a nightmare, and life can go back to reality now, and you can be together and be happy and everything is going to be fine, because what you see right now right in front of you, cannot possibly be real

we’ve both lived in the shadows for to long
