a/n â letâs just pretend sirius doesnât get avadaâd like three weeks after this fic ends
The war put a strain on everybody. Some people had to leave their families to join the fight, some had to hide away to protect themselves from the Death Eaters.
Some didnât have a family, anyone to worry about them coming home at the end of the day.
They threw themselves into it the hardest.
Then there was you and Sirius, a pair of outcasts who found solitude in each other. A pair who paid no greater devotion than protecting the people that you cared about from the ravages of Voldemortâs uprising.
You were barely eighteen when you both joined the Order, fresh out of Hogwarts and straight into the line of fire after the group had been offered a spot in Voldemortâs army and refused, leaving every one of you with a target on your back.
By the time you were twenty it almost seemed fruitless, with James and Lily being sent into hiding to protect them and their son under Dumbledoreâs direct orders under fear for their continued safety and a Fidelius Charm placed over them to keep them safe. Sirius denied being their secret keeper with the explanation of it being too obvious a choice. What a mistake that was.
Then order members started dying.
And it all began to fall apart.
The brass framed picture in the entrance of the Black family home offered Sirius no empathy as he escaped the bitterness that October was serving him, the laughing faces of his friends and self-proclaimed family only serving to make his already dwindling morale dampen further.
Twenty-two people in the picture. And how many remained? Fourteen. In the span of five months.
It was Dorcus and Marlene that really did him over, and he could barely so much as glance in the direction of their hopeful smiles without feeling like he was going to throw up.
The trudging of his feet up the wooden stairs was proof enough of his arrival for any present members of the Order to hear, too fatigued and all together bleak at the continued state he was living in to announce his presence verbally.
âSirius, sweetheart, youâre home thank goodness,â Not even the warmth of your arms around him or the relief in your voice as you pulled his head into your shoulder could satiate him anymore.
You shouldnât have to be relieved that he walked through the door.
You shouldnât have to hug him like itâs your final goodbye every time he leaves.
Every time you leave.
You didnât deserve that. And neither did he.
âGodric youâre freezing, come and sit down,â You pull Sirius into his childhood bedroom with all of the care of a feather floating on a pool of water, squeezing his hands in yours like youâre trying to transfer your own heat to him.
He follows you with no real resistance, though he doesnât make any move by himself, and you have to push his shoulders down to get him to sit in front of the lit fireplace that would hopefully quell the chill echoing across his skin.
You help him remove his coat with a sigh, dark frown lines marking your features as you take a seat beside him and rest the side of your head against his shoulder, your hand gently tracing over his to capture his palm in your own. He doesnât return the small squeeze of your fingers.
You canât blame him for being so dismal, the situation was something that nobody could make it through without a gargantuan crack in their emotional shield, but seeing Sirius display his almost funereal sentiment so fervently without so much as a hint of a mask was devastating.
Displaying even the tiniest glimmer of hopefulness was what allowed the Order to survive for so long, and Sirius couldnât even muster that.
âHarry said his first word today,â You try to keep the conversation positive, ignore the downfall of everything around you and keep focusing on the small wins. âDada of course, apparently Lily was pretty miffed,â You punctuate your sentence with a small laugh, although itâs more pathetic than genuine and even you can tell youâre doing a horrible job of trying to uplift Siriusâ spirit.
âThey sent over a picture, Remus has it if youâd like to seeââ
âJust stop.â Sirius shakes his head sharply, pulling his hand from yours and standing with his back to you.
âSiriusââ
âI donât know why you keep trying to pretend that everythingâs okay, itâs not. Our friends are dying and youâre acting like its completely fine.â Thereâs more malice in his voice than heâs intending, and logically you know that he doesnât really mean to get so angry at you. It wasnât you that was the problem, it was the world in which you were living.
But logic can often times get overridden by other facets.
âI am trying to stop anyone else from dying.â Your words are more desperate than harsh, and theyâre not laced in anger like Siriusâ are, but they carry just the same amount of conviction. âIf we lose hope then we may as well just hand ourselves overâŚâ
Thereâs a stuttered exhale as you trail off, and Sirius swears he hears your voice crack as you try to take his hand in yours again. âI canât bear to see you like thisâŚâ
âYou should leave the Order.â
Youâre almost not sure you heard him.
âWhat?â
âYou donât belong here, youâre not fit for this,â He sounds almost resigned, and his shoulders drop just enough that youâre not sure he really believes what heâs saying. âYou should leave before you get hurt.â
Thereâs a moment where all you can really do is let out a breath of astonishment, and then thereâs an overwhelming need to defend yourself against Siriusâ accusation. âI am perfectly fit for this, Dumbledore agreed thatââ
âWell I donât agree with it!â He cuts you off harshly, turning around so that you can see the anguish thatâs drenching his features. âPeople are dying, our friends are dying, and you are on the goddamn list of whose next.â
He takes your upper arms in his hand and shakes you like itâs going to make you see his point, practically shouting at you as he desperately tries to get you to see his point of view. âYou are a brilliant witch, and you are in so much danger that it makes me want to rip my heart out so I donât have to worry about you any moreââ
His rant doesnât stop once his hands halt, and they stay gripped uncomfortably tight around your biceps to the point where youâre sure itâll bruise. âDorcus died because she was brilliant, Marlene died because her father was a muggle, you are like the two of them wrapped up in a package practically serving yourself up to the Death Eaters every time you step out of this goddamn house and I cannot take it anymore.â
Sirius practically pants as his yelling comes to a halt, and he almost immediately regrets getting riled up as he sees the reflection of the fireplace in your glassed over eyes.
âI love you. I love you so much and I canât live like this anymore.â His hands move from your arms to cup the sides of your face, and you flinch at the contact like youâre afraid heâs going to hurt you.
It breaks Siriusâ heart.
âThe Order is falling apart love⌠I donât want you to be here when it collapses,â
You pull his hands from your face with yours at his wrists, shaking your head as you blink through clouds of tears. âIâm not leaving the Order, Sirius. You really think I would abandon my friends like that? My family? You?â
âThen Iâll make one of the hard choices for you,â Sirius lets his hands fall to his sides on your prompting, taking a step back from you to hide them in the pockets of his jeans. âIâm breaking up with you.â
âWhatââ Thereâs nothing but absolute betrayal written across your face, and Sirius almost breaks down immediately. âSiriusââ
âIf you want to stay here and watch shit hit the fan then be my guest, but I will not put myself through watching your downfall.â He doesnât give you the courtesy of replying before opening and slamming the door behind him as he leaves, but youâre not sure youâd be able to articulate anything even if he did, your only response being the start of a sob that echoes off of the empty walls and back into your ears to amplify your own anguish.
You move your belongings out of his room that same evening, taking refuge under Remusâ open arms as you cried yourself into an uneasy slumber, so emotionally exhausted that you could barely formulate any sense of coherency.
Lily and James died two days later.
The news hit you like a truck when Dumbledore relayed it to you, and whilst most of the Order were left in a blanket of shock, Sirius took off in a rage before he could even finish his sentence.
It was enough for you to push the grief aside to not cost you any more.
âSirius waitââ You weave your way through the others and past Dumbledore to rush after him, the first words either of you had spoken in the otherâs direction since the argument. âWhere on earth do you think youâre going the Death Eaters might still be thereââ
âI hope they are.â Siriusâ tone drips with venom as he pulls his motorcycle helmet from the coat rack at the front door, and you just barely catch his wrist before he has the chance to leave.
âYouâre going on a suicide missionââ
âThey murdered my brother, I have nothing to lose.â He again leaves the conversation with a slammed door, and you donât know whether the possibility of his death or the fact that heâd seemingly accepted it hurt you more.
He had nothing to lose.
It was the biggest insult he couldâve possibly left you with.
And itâs all he did leave you with.
For twelve years.
You grieved the loss of Sirius like you did James and Lily, like he too had entered into an early grave of which he would never return. Azkaban may as well have been.
You were angry at first, disgustingly loathing the thought of what those twelve poor muggles had to endure as their final moments. You were less empathetic towards Peterâs fate, although your grief for him was replaced with a deep-seeded betrayal that sunk into your muscles all the same.
Then it settled into an uneven weight in the bottom of your chest, something that you carried with you from that point onward.
You moved out of England soon after, with nothing but a silent vow to Remus that if Voldemort were to ever return, that youâd be there, a final standing against the allegiance that stole your life from you.
You couldnât stay there anymore, every street of London reminded you of him, of them, of all the people that you lost and how the prime years of your young adulthood were unceremoniously ripped from you under the false belief that you could actually make a difference.
As weeks turned into months, and then into years, there were days that passed where you didnât think of what happened, of how your previous life had fallen apart and left you as a shell of yourself, and eventually, you managed to pick up the pieces and live your life like it hadnât happened.
Apart from a single shard of your heart that had lodged itself at 12 Grimmauld Place, underneath the black silk sheets you and Sirius once shared.
You were thirty three when a letter from R.J.Lupin was sent through the letterbox of your house, and it was like those twelve years of growth and acceptance disappeared in an instant.
â
âI hope this letter finds you well, I know I promised to contact you only for something of the upmost urgence regarding the resurgence of you know who, but I believe this is appropriately important.
Wormtail is alive. He was the one who caused those muggles to die without reason. Which leaves no question of Padfootâs innocence.
I donât know if you have kept up with the wizarding news, but he escaped from Azkaban, and is in a safe and secure location known only by the Order.
I understand if this news is too much for you to digest, but he has asked me personally for your consideration in returning to the place where everything began.
Yours sincerely,
R.J.Lupinâ
â
The aftermath of your reading was a mess of shallow breaths and an elevated heart rate.
Panic.
You hadnât felt so horrible since the day that James and Lily had died, the day one of your closest friends betrayed you and the love of your life was taken away presumably to never be seen again.
And now he was just out there? You were just adjusting to living without him, and now he was being thrust back into your life by his own doing.
He threw you away right before your house of cards toppled, and now he was trying to worm his way back into your life?
It took you almost three weeks of staring at the sheet of parchment before you made a decision, and it ended with the letter going up in flames and you watching on with a sunken expression, no tears left to cry over the man whoâd ruined you.
All of those months where youâd pondered, where youâd asked yourself over and over again what mightâve happened if youâd have just not spoken to Sirius that day, if youâd just let him rest like heâd obviously wanted rather than try pathetically to lift his mood.
If it mightâve meant he would regard you as something to live for and stop him from blindly running off to avenge James and Lily without a second thought.
All of it went straight down the drain. Because you could have him back if you wanted. But you didnât. You didnât want to go back and see him again because the minute his name invaded your mind all you could think about was that god awful argument and itâs aftermath.
And it ripped you apart every single time.
â
âSheâs not coming PadsâŚâ Remusâ hand on Siriusâ shoulder was almost apprehensive as he gave it a soft squeeze.
It was almost three months of having to watch Sirius treat the front door like it was his lifeline, his head turning at the smallest creak of the wood in the fruitless hope that when it opened you would be on the other side.
âI knowâŚâ Sirius lets out a small, pathetic laugh as he rakes his fingers through his hair, his facade of indifference threatening to break with every breath he took. âCanât blame me for trying though right?â His voice betrays his devastation, tone wavering and quiet, cracking when he tries to push it to sound more convicting.
âPadsâŚâ
âIâm fine,â Sirius shakes his head with a dismissive hand, clearing his throat and blinking away the starts of tears from the corners of his eyes. âIâm gonna go get some sleep, gonna need all I can get if weâre gonna fight these sons of bitches hey?â Sirius nudges Remus with his elbow as he plays a characature of his former self, although itâs poorly executed at best.
âYeahâŚâ Remus consciously suppresses a sympathetic sigh that tries to escape his mouth, pressing his lips together. âGoodnight Pads,â
âGânight Moony,â
â
Thereâs eighteen months of radio silence before another letter is slotted through your door, and you have half the mind to burn it on sight when the familiar red seal is left face up on your patio tiling, but the handwriting on the back wasnât Remusâ, and it was definitely not Siriusâ either.
The scrawl of your address was almost unmistakably Dumbledoreâs, and you were left in an emotional state of uneven limbo as you debated why he of all people would be personally sending you a letter.
Logically, you already knew the reason, but your brain chose to ignore that logic as you ripped the envelope open, only for that denial to be thrown right back at your face once the seal of the Order inked itself into the folded parchment.
You didnât even need to read the letter to know what was inside it.
Three words.
Invitatio ad arma.
A call to arms.
You barely remember packing your bags, leaving the sense of normalcy youâd built over the past fourteen years to throw yourself back into the line of fire and more devastatingly, right back to Sirius Black.
The train ride to England almost felt like a fever dream, your body left in a state of dissociation where you couldnât discern whether your actions were real or just a part of some vivid nightmare that you couldnât wake from no matter how much you tossed and turned.
And by the time you reached the front door of number 12 Grimmauld Place it felt like you were right back where you started, just barely twenty one thrust into a war that could leave you in your grave at any unfortunate minute.
It felt almost foreign to you as you entered, the hallways that once proved to be your substitute home reduced to unfamiliar sights covered in dust and peeling wallpaper. There was no brass lamps to warm the sight, no picture of your closest friends on the wall, not even the mirror that had been hung beside the door had survived, reduced to a half shattered mess that hadnât been replaced under higher priorities.
âOhââ The slightly surprised sentiment draws you away from your almost depressing nostalgia, drawn instead towards an almost perfect capture of teenage James Potter, down to the slanted circular glasses sat over his nose bridge.
Itâs enough for you to genuinely consider for a second that youâd actually stepped back in time, right into your graduation year when you were all so young and full of hope.
But it couldnât be James. As much as your heart desperately wished it was.
âYouâre another member of the original Order of the Phoenix right?â The boy takes a few steps towards you, wonder still lingering in his eyes despite the film of knowledge that cloud them. Knowledge of just how unfortunately dark the world actually is. âItâs nice to meet you, Iâmââ
âHarryâŚâ Your interruption is barely more than a breath of air as you take in the sight of one of your closest friendâs child, a child that he never got to see grow into an almost perfect replica of himself. âYou look just like your fatherâŚâ
Thereâs a mix of shock and a small amount of sadness in his expression at your statement, and itâs enough for the glimpses of Lily to shine through in his demeanour. âThank you,â
Itâs enough for your eyes to well with tears, and you blink them away with a small clearing of your throat to regain your composure in front of the boy. He didnât need to see you cry over the fact that he looked like one of your dead friends with the personality of another. That wasnât fair.
âItâs nice to finally meet you Harry, properly,â You extend your hand almost hesitantly as you introduce yourself, and he takes it graciously in his own with a small sympathetic smile. Being proxy comforted by a teenager, how pathetic.
âItâs nice to meet you too, my parents have good friends,â You give the boy a small nod with a small, sad smile, and he mirrors it himself in turn.
âIâm so sorry, you didnât deserve any of this,â You let your hand rest on his shoulder, squeezing it lightly in a terrible attempt at consoling the sadness riddling his expression. âYouâre just a boy Harry,â
âI know,â He gives a small sigh and a more confident smile, sympathy lingering in the creases of his cheeks in a perfectly Lily fashion. âIâm sorry for your loss too, I know they probably meant a great deal to you,â
âThey still do, thatâs why Iâm here,â
âThank you,â He sounds more confident in his thanks this time, more determined, and the remnants of his parents continue to show on full display as his focus returns to the reason youâd arrived here in the first place. âWeâre about to sit down for dinner, join us?â
âIâll be there shortly,â You give Harry a small nod and another small squeeze of his shoulder before excusing yourself up the stairs to leave your belongings.
â
âGood evening everyone,â Your voice is taught and awkwardly flat as you push open the door to the dining room, and you stand there with your hands wrung together behind your back as your eyes flicker over the room.
There are so many people that the table is almost entirely too crowded, and a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces in your presence, although those who do recognise you leave their seats almost immediately to greet you properly.
âItâs good to see you,â Remus reaches you first, wrapping you in a secure hug that you happily return with your own.
âItâs good to see you too, Remus, itâs been too long,â
âWelcome back, we need all of the human shields we can get,â Mad Eyeâs reuinionative statement is much less heart felt, but you give him a small laugh and a âThank you,â nonetheless.
Then there was Sirius. Stood at his chair, not daring to walk into your little bubble under fear of whatever consequences that might come from it.
He looked almost as you remembered him, but he was leaner, more gaunt, his hair more unruly and his skin even more paper-white than the almost impossibly pale complexion of his teenage years.
He was still Sirius, but he was different, and it took less than half a second of eye contact for him to realise that you were different too.
âWelcome back,â His voice is hesitant, almost catching in his throat as his brain catches up to the fact that youâre stood in front of him, less than ten feet away after all of those years heâd spent desperately dreaming of what it would feel like to have you in his arms again.
Now you were here. And you were a stranger.
âThank you,â
Dinner progresses pretty much how you expected, a mix of awkwardly introducing yourself to the Orderâs new members and horrifically failing at avoiding eye contact with Sirius from across the table.
Then the topic of interest moves to the Orderâs plans, and things seem to spin into a downwards spiral all too quickly.
âWe donât have enough members to reliably be able to pull this off,â The argument was entirely valid from a logical standpoint, a weakness that quite a few of the Order seemed to have choice opinions about.
âYeah well weâre not getting any new members are we?â Sirius leans back in his chair exasperatedly. âWith the way Fudge is portraying Dumbledore and the lack of official credibility, weâre on our own here, thereâs no use in waiting around,â
âIâm inclined to agree, we all know you know who isnât going to waste any time,
âItâs reckless,â You shake your head with furrowed eyebrows. âWe not ready to face something like that head on.â
âWeâre never going to be ready,â Sirius shakes his head with a sigh. âWe have to take action before he has the chance to build himself back to where he was all those years ago.â
âSirius is right, we need to do something,â Sirius gestures towards Harryâs response like itâs the final nail in the coffin against your reasoning.
âHarry, sweetheart, I appreciate your enthusiasm but you donât know the extent of what weâre dealing with,â Your voice is as gentle as it is assertive, not wanting to put him down too much but also wanting to make sure he understood the true extent of what was going on.
âHe killed my friend in front of meââ
âAnd heâs killed dozens of ours,â You shake your head softly but firmly. âJumping in without a plan is only going to make things worse, trust me.â
He seems more than a little shot down, but he gives you a small nod of understanding nonetheless as he backs down from his standing.
Sirius doesnât pay you the same mind.
âSo youâre suggesting we just wait in hiding for what, forever? We need to act,â
âThe last time you âactedâ, Sirius, you spent twelve years in Azkaban for it.â Your rebuttal holds none of the softness that was present when you were talking to Harry, and you can see it eroding the calcified shield behind Siriusâs eyes.
âThat wasnât my fault,â Sirius presses his teeth together to keep himself from raising his voice, his back straightening alongside his defensiveness. âAt least Iâm trying to do something, if you donât want to contribute maybe you shouldnât be a part of the Order at all,â
âI will not have this argument with you again Sirius!â His chastation seems to finally get under your skin as you rise yourself from your chair with your hands on the dining table, ignorantly ignoring the uncomfortable gazes of everyone else present as youâre forced back into that evening fourteen years go all over again.
âOkay, I think itâs time we called it a night,â Remus, seemingly the only normally functioning person at the table, rises from his chair slowly, taking your shoulders in his hands to guide you away from the group and calm you down.
âYes right you are Remus,â Molly stands up with a nod thatâs almost too enthusiastic clasping her hands together. âOff to bed, all of you,â
You can practically hear the lingering exasperation in Remusâ breathing as he leads you up the stairs and into the room he was staying in, and the second he shut the door behind you you knew what you were in for.
âYou need to speak to him.â
âI know,â
âProperly.â
âI know,â
Youâre sure the sigh you let out echoes across the houseâs first floor, and itâs enough for Remusâ eyes to shift into displaying a concerning amount of sympathy in your direction.
âHe misses you, you know,â Remus takes a seat on the edge of his bed with a soft sigh. âHe said the thought of seeing you again was the only thing that got him through Azkaban,â
âYeah well he wouldnâtâve gone there in the first place if he hadnâtâve been such a hot-headed twat,â You wouldnât lie that Remusâ statement didnât hit you a little where it hurt, but the lingering anger towards Siriusâ situation was clearly still more forefront in your mind.
âItâs a carried trait in all of us âmâfraid,â Remus tilts his head knowingly, and you have half the mind to roll your eyes at the clear implication of what heâs saying.
But he isnât wrong, not really.
âYou know where to find him,â
Thereâs a small moment of silence, then a sigh. âDo I have to?â
âThe longer you wait the worse itâll be,â
Sometimes you hate how logical Remus can be.
With another sigh and a loll of your head, you reluctantly stuff your hands in your pockets and turn towards the bedroom door, muttering a softâand only half genuineââthanks,â in his direction as you leave.
The wooden door that barricaded you from the former love of your life felt more like steel than anything else. Tall, dark, and intimidating to the point where you couldnât even consciously lift your hand to knock against it under the blood rushing behind your ears from how fast your heart was pounding in your ribcage.
It really shouldnât be so scary, youâd spent weeks, months in that room when youâd originally joined the Order, yet now it felt entirely foreign to you.
Maybe it was the fact that the wood was slowly rotting away with how unkept it was. Maybe it was the knowledge of whatâwhoâwas on the other side of it. Or maybe, your mind was just so completely and utterly fucked that the idea of confronting the consequences of your own actions was more nerve-wracking than the idea of standing face to face in a death match with Voldemort himself.
You stand there staring dumbly at the door for almost two minutes, and when it opens your eyes widen like itâs a new form of magic that youâd never encountered.
Sirius halts halfway out the door, arm stretched straight with the doorknob still in hand as his face seems to go through an insurmountable number of emotions in the half-second it takes for him to realise youâre there.
You donât say anything as you make eye-contact, head immediately ducking downward and stepping aside so that he can leave without you blocking his path, but he just stays there, staring at you like you had been the door, and it was becoming increasingly uncomfortable by the second.
You clear your throat with a feigned cough, pursing your lips together with a muttered âexcuse me,â as you turn around to leave, but Sirius catches your wrist in his hand before you even manage to take the first step.
âWaitââ He loosens his grasp almost immediately after he feels a resistance, but his eyes convey just how determined he was to keep you where you were. âLetâs talk, please?â
Thereâs a hint of desperation in his tone, and you almost crumble on that alone, but you manage to maintain your composure with a small shake of your head and a gentle pull of your wrist from his hand. âI donât think itâs worth it Sirius, not anymore,â
âDonât say that, we can fix this,â Sirius mirrors your head shake with his own. âYou just need to talk to me,â
âI tried talking to you Sirius, and look where it got us,â You gesture between the two of you with exasperation in your tone.
Thereâs a small pause where the two of you share and almost identical mask of composure over your agony.
âIt just wasnât meant to be, thatâs it,â
âThatâs not true,â Sirius shakes his head again, more confidently this time, and his inky black curls bounce against his shoulders like theyâre trying to torment you with the memories of your fingers raking through them. âWe can fix this, us, we just have to try,â
âI donât want to argue with you anymore,â You lower your gaze away from his so you donât have to see the heartbreak in his irises. âEspecially not over thisâŚâ
âThen donât, letâs work this out properly, like adults,â He reaches out his hand cautiously towards yours, and you flinch away as your fingers make contact. âPlease,â
âSiriusâŚâ
âIâm sorry.â Sirius lets out a heavy, pathetic breath as he retreats his hand to run it through his hair. âI am so sorry. I made the biggest mistake of my life and it cost me the person that I love more than life and I have suffered the consequences of it every day for the last fourteen years.â
Sirius lets his hands fall to his side with a start, voice beginning to tremble under the strain of his emotions as he desperately tries to voice everything that heâd bottled up over the last decade and a half before you leave him to rot in his own depression again. âI spent every hour in Azkaban imagining what it would be like to see you again, to hear your voice, to hold you and tell you that youâre the one thing in this goddamn hell that we live in that actually makes anything worth fighting for,â
The breaths between his words are shallow and weak, and your expression starts to blur as his eyes glass over with the beginnings of tears. âI love you so much, and Iâm soâ sorry that you had to live through everything I forced on you and I justââ He takes a sharp, stuttering breath in. ââI need you to know that I will spend the rest of my life devoted to you, to correcting what Iâve done even if you donât so much as spare me a glance,â
Heâs not sure when the tears started running over his eyelids, but he can feel them fall in drops to dapple the ivory skin of his fingers. âAnd if I die tomorrow, Iâll take whatever punishment hell has to give me so that you can rest easy,â
The end of his rant is echoed by laboured breathing and a horrific attempt at muffling a sob that leaves his throat, bouncing off the walls of the hallway to settle into your muscles as you stand stationary in an astonished silence.
Youâre not sure what to say. Youâre not sure thereâs anything you can say. How on earth are you supposed to respond to something like that? Something so desperate and raw and real?
Sirius Black, after fourteen years of radio silence, still loved you like youâd never parted.
âSiriusâŚâ
And youâd be absolutely damned if you werenât the same.
âI forgive youâŚâ
Itâs like a tsunami of relief ravages Siriusâ body at your words, barely a whisper escaping your mouth but invading his ear canals like a nuclear explosion, and itâs enough for that sliver of composure remaining to erode under the waves of his tears until heâs sobbing into his hands, hunched over with trembling shoulders as he lets everything go all at once.
âIâm so sorryââ
His final apology is doused in so much heartbreak it might as well rip your heart right out of your chest, and your at his side almost immediately, gently pulling his hand from his face to pull his head into your shoulder with a soft shush of consolation.
He clings to you like itâs the last time heâll ever get the chance to, tears damping the shoulder of your shirt and his arms wrapped so tightly around your torso youâre not sure he intends to ever let go. Youâre not sure youâd complain if he didnât.
That familiar musky scent of cigarettes and faux leather hits your nose once heâs close enough, and thatâs where you break too, silent tears streaming down your face as you bury your nose in his hair.
Youâre eternally grateful that everyone on this floor of the house is already asleep, either that or just polite enough not to interrupt the two of you out in the hallway, because the state the both of you were in was definitely not meant to be seen by other people.
A desolate, broken side to the two of you only trusted in the company of the other.
âStay with me tonight, pleaseâŚâ His plea is barely more than a mutter against your shoulder, and youâre sure he wouldnât even have to ask to know what your answer would be.
And so you find yourself back where you started, tangled up underneath the silky black sheets of Siriusâ bed in the warmth of his embrace, that tiny shard of your heart finally recovered and back in itâs rightful place.
Right where you belong.
Another great series!! Check it out!
Word Count: Around 1.3k
Summary: in which your boss sends you to keep an eye on a possible avengers recruit. Youâre tasked with following him, figuring out who he is, and if heâs good enough for the team. Thatâs it. But itâs never that simple.
Warnings: None (I donât think?) itâs really just a story full of fluff.
MARC SLOWLY WALKED out of your bedroom. He was nervously fiddling with the t-shirt that you had given him. His heart was pounding and he felt like he was going to have a panic attack, but he tried breathing through it. He knew he could do this - and he wanted to.
"There you are." You said sweetly as your eyes landed on the man.
"Here I am. ." He responded, scratching the back of his neck.
"Steven asked if he should be worried that you have men's clothes here." He said lightheartedly.
You laughed as you cooked, elegantly moving around the small kitchen. You set her spatula down and looked to the man.
"Is he. . Jealous?" You raised an eyebrow teasingly.
"Little bit." Marc felt the tension slowly leaving his body as you fell into comfortable banter.
"I assure you that Steven - and you - have nothing to worry about. I stole them from an old friend of mine back home." You said as your cheeks turned pink.
"Sorry, I don't mean to insinuate that you like me or have to like me. I was just -" You began to ramble as you tried to fix your mistake.
Marc smiled softly and closed the gap between the two of you, standing in front of your short person. He raised his hand hesitantly before wrapping it around yours.
"No, no. . I understand what you were saying." He assured you.
Your skin burned at his touch, in the best way possible. Steven was so lighthearted and silly, while Marc was mysterious and dark. It drove you crazy. You wanted to know everything about him.
"Well. . Good. Take a seat and I'll serve you." You told him, shooing him towards the table.
He happily obliged and took a seat, adjusting the sweatpants that hung on his hips. You set a plate in front of him consisting of a small stack of pancakes and waffles. You set syrup in the middle of the table before grabbing yourself a plate and sitting opposite of the man.
"I wasn't sure what you guys liked so I just made both." You said referring to the breakfast items, a nervous glint in your eyes.
"I'm good with anything. Steven prefers pancakes." He chuckled as he dug in.
"I'll keep that noted." You said as you tapped your head.
The two of you fell into a few minutes of comfortable silence before you decided to request something from him.
"So, Marc. Just like I asked Steven to, tell me about yourself."
"I - uh. There's really not much to tell." He told you.
You studied his reaction and saw the nervousness and uncomfortable look he suddenly held. You would have to take it much slower with Marc, you realized. He wasn't an open book like Steven.
"Let's start simple. Tell me this, what's your favorite movie? Because I already know how much Steven loves The Mummy."
â˝ â âž
Marc was sat on the couch, waiting for you to find a particular blanket you were looking for. He watched you with humor in his eyes as you scurried around the apartment, looking for the item.
After a few minutes, you returned to the living room, wrapped up in a large fluffy blanket. You took a seat near the man and glanced at him.
"Sorry, I tend to misplace things." You giggled as you grabbed the remote and pressed play on the movie.
The two sat near one another, your knees almost touching. Marc glanced to you and back to the tv, contemplating what to do. Should he hold you? Or should he just stay where he was? He didn't want to make you uncomfortable.
"You can lay with me. . If you want?" You broke his train of thought. It was as if you could read his mind.
He looked over to you, to see you holding your arms open towards him. Without hesitation, he dove into your arms and laid his head on your chest. You giggled at his eagerness and wrapped your arms around him.
"I'm sorry. . You just don't know how long I've waited for this." He admitted in just barely a whisper.
"Really?" You asked with surprise.
He nodded his head in reply, resting his palm against your stomach. You bit at your lip before reaching up and running your fingers through his wild curls - causing him to let out a sigh of content.
You didn't press further and adjusted the blanket so it was covering the both of you. Your focus became engrossed in the movie and that's how you two spent their day off.
â˝ â âž
You were stood at the museum gift shop, a clipboard in your hands as you examined the items for purchase. You had to keep rereading the words on the paper - as your mind was completely distracted with thoughts of Marc and Steven.
Your heart fluttered at the mere thought of the men, a smile always finding a way to your lips when thinking of them. You had come to the realization that you were inevitably falling in love. You knew you shouldn't be and you knew you should feel guilty - in a way you did. Would you ever be able to tell the boys the real reason you came into their lives? They would probably hate you.
That thought made your stomach drop. Should you just tell them now instead of pushing it off? You didn't know what to do. It was another instance of when Natasha would come to your rescue. But that was no more. And you certainly weren't going to ask Peter, the 15 year old, about it. You were on your own and it was nerve wracking.
"Love." The familiar sweet British accent rang in your ears, pulling you back to reality.
You spun on your heels, now facing an adorable Steven. His lips were broken into his toothy smile and all you wanted to do was plant kisses along his face. But you refrained - hardly.
"Hey, you." You beamed as you set your clipboard down and stepped towards him, gently tugging him closer by his jacket.
His curls were wild and unruly - and you loved them that way. His eyes carried bags underneath, alerting you to his lack of sleep. A frown immediately replaced your grin.
"You didn't sleep did you?" You asked him, your voice filled with worry.
You hadn't seen him in a day or two - ever since you met Marc for the first time. He had been busy with work and what you assumed was Moon Knight business.
"I uh. . no." He admitted, a frown now on his face.
"Well. . I guess you know what that means?" You tilted your head slightly as you asked him. He shook his head no and gave you a confused look.
"It means you have to sleep with me tonight." You told him, a smile popping back onto your lips.
Steven's eyes widened at your words. He knew what you meant, but he couldn't help but think about the other thing. He blushed deeply before smiling at you.
"That is very much needed." He told you, an eager look in his eyes.
"Marc says it's just what he needs." He added on with an eye roll, making you laugh.
"Tell Marc, there's enough of me for both of you this evening." You sent him a wink, knowing it would make the man blush even more.
"I uh -"
"Bye, love." You turned and grabbed your clipboard, walking away from the awestruck Steven.
He was stood stuck in his spot, his eyes wide with adoration and lust as he watched you walk away. Marc was rattling around inside his head, demanding him to go after you. Marc wanted to continue that conversation.
"No, no. I have work to do." Steven took a deep breath as he calmed himself, still watching your retreating figure.
"We gotta keep ourselves in control." He muttered to his alter before trudging towards the cash register.

A/N: My first Miguel x Reader fic! Iâm super nervous but I hope you guys like it! Also, Reader is a Silk variant. Instead of Cindy Moon getting bit after Peter, it was Y/n. (Additional info at the end)
âââââââââââââââââââââ-
My name is Y/n L/n. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last three years, I've been the one and only Silk.
Iâm pretty sure you guys know the rest. I saved the city bunch of times, made great friends along the way. Saved the city from collapsing into itself, found out I wasnât the only Spider-person in my universe. Saved the city again. Saved my uncle. I couldn't save my best friend, Cindy Moon, so now I save everyone else.
Despite all that, I love being Silk. Because no matter how hard I fall, I always get back up. Iâm just your friendly neighborhood Silk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âLyla, what is it this time?â Miguel groans, swiping a screen to the side with a flick of his hand. His watch lights with a familiar ring just as his trusty assistant pops out of thin air, pacing around nervously.Â
Lyla chuckles apprehensively, her lips forming into a nervous smile, âUh-well. We have a tiny situationâ, She brings her indent and thumb close together to show how minuscule the problem was at hand.Â
Miguelâs eyes crease together in disappointment, a groan slipping past his lips. He begins to lower the podium towards the ground while cursing incoherently under his breath.
Â
âHow tiny?âÂ
âYouâll barely notice it!â She tries to assure, her smile twitching under his unimpressed glare.
Letting out a defeated sigh he turns the transmission off, turning to face the entrance. His head tilts to the side, hearing hurried footsteps walking towards his room, just as he steps down to the leveled floor. His hand rests against his hips, waiting for the doors to slam open.Â
As if one cue the door opens wide, Hobie walks in with a bounce to his steps. He flashes Miguel a lopsided smile as Gwen follows behind him, followed by an unknown Spider. Miguel clenches his jaw feeling his body tingle at the sensation of the girl. She was a spider alright, but why was she here? Miguel raises an eyebrow as his eyes trace over the new female.Â
Her tightly secured spandex suit did not bear the traditional spider-person colors. It was black and white which was unique but not something new. Her hair was out freely, falling past her shoulders as it swayed along her steps. And surprisingly she didnât have a full covering mask, but a mask that just covered her jaw all the way up to her nose.Â
Miguel clears his throat roughly, seeing how the female caught onto his deep and calculating stare. Her e/c eyes flutter as she too examines him, her eyes trailing from the top of his brown wavy locks all the way down to his torso. Luckily, his mask was off. But that only proved to be a problem as he couldn't help but feel self conscious under the piercing stare.Â
âWeâre back! It went by smoothly!â Gwen reports, stopping right in front of Miguel. Hobie places his arms across his back nodding sluggishly.Â
Miguel huffs out at her words, turning to Hobie who was in charge of the simple mission. His glare alone caused Gwen to shuffle around awkwardly, his unsaid words of disappointment speaking volumes.Â
âHobie, who is this?â Miguel grumbles, his eyes darting to the girl, eyes filled with scrutiny. Upon hearing herself being mentioned the girl takes a step forward, and beside Hobie who shrugs off Miguelâs angered expression.Â
âHello, you're Spider-man 2099? Gotta say I expected someone ... .a little friendlier lookin-â the girl blurts out, his eyes widening at how straight forward her words were. Gwen couldn't help but clear her throat to prevent herself from giggling.Â
â-Not saying you're ugly or anything, totally daddy material, but you're missing something, Ya know? Something that gives off the âfriendly-neighborhood-Spider-man vibes?â She quickly adds, causing Hobie to snicker beside her. The girl blushes slightly, redness spreading from the tops of her cheeks. Miguel turns to face her, his arms leaving his hips to cross over his broad chest. He stares down into her smaller statue with annoyance.Â
âWho are you?â He repeats again, his eyes scrunched together into a tight line. The female chuckles, looking in between him and the two other spiders who brought her here.Â
âYou look stressed, is he stressed?â
âHeâs stressed all the timeâ Hobie adds, smirking when Miguel growls warningly under his breath.
âJesus, youâre gonna get wrinkles ya know,âÂ
âYouâre very chatty, probably means your canon hasn't happened yet. How long did you say you were Spider-woman for?â Miguel offers an unamused smile, holding nothing but annoyance in his tone.Â
âSilk, I go by Silk in my universe,â she replies, mimicking his form by crossing her arms over her chest. Miguel raises an eyebrow, his expression changing to mild confusion. He knew Silk, he had a few Silkâs at headquarters. But this one, the one standing in front of him and peering up into his eyes through her thick lashes, was not the ones he was familiar with.Â
She was different, because she made him feelâŚ.different.Â
âSilk? But youâre not Cindy Moon.âÂ
The playful smile on the girl's face vanished at his worlds, her arms dropping to her side as her eyes widened, âHow did you?âŚ.sheâŚ.âÂ
Miguel sighs out, moistening his lips ever so slightly as he felt uncomfortable watching her look upset in front of him. A feeling he didnât quite understand,
âAhhâŚI see. Sheâs your canon?âÂ
The girl's eyes furrow at his words, puffing out her cheeks out in annoyance, âWhatâs that supposed to mean? Whatâs anything supposed to mean! All I know is I was taking names and kicking ass when these-â the female glances at the two spider people beside her.Â
âSpider fellaâs show up! Theyâre the ones who brought me here!â She states, throwing her hand in the air in frustration. Miguel clenched his jaw, his eyes landing on the slight pout he was able to make out from under her mask. Her large eyes staring into his eyes.Â
âSheâsâŚlike a puppyâ
A subtle smile twitches along Miguelâs lips, his jaw immediately clenched to prevent the smile from breaking though. Deciding he had heard enough he turns to Hobie.
âHobie, whatâs the meaning of this? I specifically tasked you with bringing back an anomaly, not the Spider-person from that universe,âÂ
âTechnically there is another Spider-person in my universe-â
âZip it, grown men are talking!â Miguel hisses, his eyes snapping to her momentarily, giving her a warning look.Â
âGosh, I see what you mean. Heâs a grumpâÂ
âMiguel, chill. She helped us with the anomaly, I think sheâd be a great asset to the team. A great help, honestly. She is quite goodâ Hobie explains, raising his head in mock surrender at Miguelâs unrelenting gaze.Â
âThat I amâ the girl adds proudly, fist pumping Gwen playfully.Â
Miguel tuts at his words, running a hand through his locks. She had a mouth on her thatâs for sure, and Miguel didnât seem to have the energy to deal with that. Not when the entire building was filled with smart-talking Spider-people,Â
âIâm not too sure, I donât know if I want another talkative Spider-person.âÂ
âAw Câmon! Sheâs great! Right Gwen?â Hobie argues, glancing at Gwen for assistance, who jolts at being mentioned.
âI-Yes! Her webs come out of her fingertips!â She replies in awe, making the girl chuckle, she turns to Miguel whoâs hard expression didnât change.Â
âStop, you make me blush Gwen, and anyway, if he doesnât want me Iâm totally cool dudes. I know where Iâm not wantedâ She says softly. SHe gently pets Gwenâs shoulder reassuringly, touring to offer Hobie a smile before she takes a tentative step backwards. Just as she continues her way out Hobie sends a glare to his boss.Â
âYou sure you want her to leave? She could be an asset.â Hobie adds quietly, his eyes holding determination. Miguel sighs out, rolling his eyes for being so soft. Â
âWait.â
The girl's step came to a halt, throwing her head over her shoulder to glance back at Miguel with some surprise. She didn't think he would be the one to stop her seeing how unwelcoming he was. Now fully turning around to face the three, she places her arms along her hips, eyes squinting in question.
Â
 âHm? What up big olâ grump?â
Miguel bits his lips, almost drawing blood when his fangs accidentally gaze past his lower lip. He began to regret calling her back.Â
âFirst odd, stop with the nicknames. Itâs childish. And second, Iâll allow it but as long as you're under surveillance for the first couple of months,âÂ
âSeriously?â her eyes widened, not believing that she was being given a chance. Gwen fist-pumps the air at Miguels words in happiness.Â
Seeing how Miguel waited patiently for her response, the girl clears her throat. Her hand reached up to the top trace over her mask. âSure, sounds good to me. I donât mind!â. As she pulls her mask down, Miguelâs breaths come to a halt.Â
If he thought her figure, her hair, her eyes were beautiful. It was nothing compared to her face. Her plump lips form into an amused smile, her eyes crinkling as Miguel openly gawks at her full appearance.Â
The buzzing in the back of his mind that had been bothering him the moment she stepped into the confines of the room coming back at full force. Miuguel couldn't help but clench his fists, casting his eyes away from her. He didn't know what he was feeling, but his heart was racing erratically against his chest. And he was certain it could be heard. Miguel roughly clears his throat awkwardly to gain composure.Â
âSo, who's assigned to me?â the girl asks nonchalantly, walking back to the trio, absentmindedly twirling her mask.Â
Ather question Hobie stand up straighter, smiling wide, âI can-â
âI will.âÂ
Miguel blurts out, his words causing Hibie to shoot him an amused glace, his smirk playing along his lips. Moiguel catches how the girl slightly cringes at his words, probably afraid of being with someone as intimidating as him.Â
Feeling all eyes on him, he clears his throat, walking over to stand directly in front of her. Now that he was this close he was surprised how tiny she was compared to his buff and enormous stature.Â
âI will watch over you for a few months, if you are not performing well enough Iâm sending you back to your universe. Got it?â he says sternly, ignoring the fluttering deep within his gut. Maybe it was telling him how hellish the next few months would be with such a bubbly character.
The girl lets out a silvery laugh at his rough time, raising her hand in mock surrender. Her chest vibrates with amusement which makes Miguel gulp nervously at the sight.Â
âYes sir! Sounds good, when is the next mission chief?âÂ
âDonât. Just call me MiguelâÂ
âAlright, Miguel, Iâm Y/n L/n.âÂ
~~~~~~~~
âWow, this is sick!â Y/n murmurs, twirling her wrist adorned with the newly made device. She was so bust inspecting every crevice of the devolve that she missed how Miguel rolled his eyes. Half in annoyance and half in amusement.Â
âSo this is what allows you to jump universes? That is so cool, this is giving âBack to The Futureâ vibesâ She chuckles as Miguel activates his suit, his mask covering his face from view.Â
âBe careful with that, it's a very important technology. Donât go playing a round with it-â Miguel warns, pointing to his own device. The smirk doesn't leave Y/nâs face as she adjusts her mask in place.Â
â- And Iâll know, it also records every universe you enter. So if you so much as play around with it. I will know.â He snarls under his breath, walking past her. Â
âJeez, do you ever lighten up?âÂ
âNot when Iâm burdened with so much, so come alongâ Miguel urges, opening a portal a few feet away from them. Y/n works her fingers to detangle her hair watching Miguel step closer into the portal not giving her time to catch up.
Â
âW-wait! Why are you rushing me? Wait up!â
âCâmon niĂąa, we don't have all day. '' Miguel growls slowly.
Â
âHey! Iâm not a kid!â Y/n argues, stepping right beside him. Migual fails to keep his lips from twitching into a smirk at the fact he understood her. Lucky for him she couldn't see the way his eyes soften with warmth due to his mask. But it only lasted a moment. As he stays quiet for a bit to which she huffs in annoyance,Â
âI took Spanish once as an elective. So don't call me kid! It insultingâÂ
âFine, I won't call you that. Now try to catch upâŚ.princesaâ

Miguel is just *chefs kiss* and being voice by Oscar Isaac is just the cherry on top! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy! There might be a Pt2, but thatâs only if you guys want it. Other then that, enjoy!! Also this is kind of a test to see if anyone would be interested in this fic idea.
*Still under editing, excuse any mistakes, grammatical errors and spell checks*
Also, some background into on Silk if you guys donât know:
Got bit by the same Spider as Peter Parker
In her universe there is two spider-people (herself and Spider-Man)
She has enhanced Spidey sense called a Silk-sense
Has organic webbing that shoot through her fingertips
Spider-Man and Y/n work together, they also know each others secret identities
Cindy Moon from Y/nâs universe is dead
Spider-Man and Y/n donât have any sexual attraction to one another, theyâre just real good friends (like how Cindy and Peter are in the comics)
Chadwick Boseman: Ew. What kind of tea is this?
Michael B Jordan: I boiled Gatorade.
