((again, a different approach to this prompt. But, honestly, there's no other way Remus would go this far into detail about his parents))

Prompt: - How much do you really know about your parents? Imagine them as teenagers and tell us what they were like.

( I know that we don't talk, I'm sick of it all. Can you hear me when I sing? You're the reason I sing; you're the reason why the opera is in me. Where are we now? I've got to let you know, a house still doesn't make a home; don't leave me here alone. And it's you when I look in the mirror, and it's you that makes it hard to let go; sometimes you can't make it on your own, sometimes you can't make it. The best you can do is to fake it, sometimes you can't make it on your own. )

Current Mood: disappointed

My mother was a rather religious person. She tried to somehow get me to follow that same path, but I never took it. Or, rather, I started to yet I quickly came to the conclusion that there is no real point to it. I didn't see the point of praying, really. I don't believe there is a being that decides who goes to Heaven, or who goes to Hell. And I do not believe there is some 'path' that one must follow to reach salvation, or that our fate is necessarily written on some sort of divine book.

Even if I don't believe any of those things, however, I don't judge those who do. Just as I have reasons to not get involved in religion, others do and I respect that. I can try to see things from their perspective, to understand, but for myself I always come to the same conclusion. I simply do not believe.

( [this part is locked from everyone] )

Current Mood: blank

Who? Remus Lupin, Teddy Lupin
What? An overdue talk between father and son.
Why? Because the family drama comes to an end, finally.
When? December 7th -

Rating: PG.

( Tough, you think you've got the stuff. You're telling me and anyone you're hard enough. You don't have to put up a fight; you don't have to always be right. Let me take some of the punches for you tonight. Listen to me now, I need to let you know; you don't have to go in alone. And it's you when I look in the mirror, and it's you when I don't pick up the phone. Sometimes you can't make it on your own. )

Author's note: For mun knowledge only; this is not something Remus would speak of freely. The Marauders would have a vague idea of it all (or a very good one, considering how much they know him and were friends with Remus at the time), and by the time he met Tonks he had more or less made his peace with it, but Remus wouldn't admit or say this out loud.

November 28th, 1979

( I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you. And I need you like a heart needs a beat but it's nothin new. I loved you with a fire red- Now it's turning blue, and you say... 'Sorry' like the angel heaven let me think was you. But I'm afraid it's too late to apologize, it's too late. I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late )

Current Mood: frustrated

Important OOC: What is mentioned in this fic are things that Remus would have only told the Marauders (and most likely Lily as well) throughout their years at Hogwarts because he was living through it while they were together. The whole thing is a very touchy subject for him and it's not something he would easily share with anyone else (my guess is he would have only mentioned bits and pieces to Tonks but nothing too specific). So, for everybody else, it is for mun info only. Unless he talks about it later on, of course. This was just needed to be written because a) it's good for backstory purposes and b) it has been on his mind too much lately.

Thanks.

( I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard. Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everyone can see these scars. I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel, but it's like no matter what I do I can't convince you to just believe this is real. So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do; face away and pretend that I'm not but I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got. )
