Summary: Who could ever love a werewolf?
Note: Written for the "werewolf love" challenge at lupin100
"Who could ever love a werewolf?" Remus knew the question was unfair; Sirius had loved him, and if he no longer did it was due to Azkaban-wrought changes, not to Remus's lycanthropy.
Bracing his palms against the cold enamel of the basin, he inspected his reflection in the mottled mirror. Hair rapidly graying; scars networking his body; most of all, weariness lingering longer after each painful transformation. Tonks claimed to love him, but she was over-kind.
No, that was a lie. It wasn't that no one could love a werewolf. It was that the one that Remus wanted did not.
