The Shoebox Project - Sirius/Remus (Crushed)
“When all else fails, pick up smoking.”
It’s advice from Peter, of all people; just some dumb line he was trying at some party, and it didn’t work then, and it doesn’t, it turns out, work now.
Remus tries, but his metabolism isn’t made for drugs: not weed, not speed, not even good old regular tobacco, it turns out. He just wanted something to do with his hands, something that would keep him from feeling so stupid and crushed, tearing up more pictures or burning his stupid shoebox full of memories.
Sirius is in Azkaban, and nothing works. That’s all.
