Description
(Post-marauders, pre-Harry spin-off to the Descendant of Merlin series.) This tale begins with the events Remus Lupin mentions to Isabella in his letter to her in Darkness and Desire where he meets James Fellstone and comes to live with him. These are the details of how that came to be and what happened next. James is newly divorced and recently out about his sexuality. He had always been gay, but as the last heir of Merlin, he'd had a duty to continue his bloodline. When the Unspeakable lays eyes on Remus Lupin, he is immediately infatuated. He knows he will suffer for letting the werewolf move in with him, but he is used to suffering... Remus Lupin is homeless and hungry with a gaping hole in his heart left by the Wizarding War that stole from him all of his dearest friends. The rest of the Order members went back to their lives after Voldemort's fall, but Remus was left with nothing to go back to. James offers a safe place to rest and plenty of wolfsbane potion. The potential for some semblance of a normal life and a companion unperturbed by his condition may be enough for Remus to overlook the older wizard's attraction, but could he ever feel the same? Maybe love will grow or maybe not everyone gets their happily-ever-after.
