Author’s Notes: Remus must resort to dark practices to assuage his grief…
Warnings: Slash, horror and blood imagery, angst, AU (i.e. no Remus/Tonks!!!)
Halloween was the time that made Remus Lupin remember the most, and only the full moon could help him to forget. Every year at this time, Remus could not wait for the moon to be swollen and round, leering over the treetops like the bloated golden eye of a demon.
He did not want to kill. Remorse still gnawed at his gut and what remained of his soul every time the full moon drew near and he did not seek the Wolfsbane Potion. But only the animal instincts of the wolf, the raw lust for blood and torn flesh, could take his mind off the memories of his beloved Sirius. He tried to make his victims only animals – sheep, goats or cows in moonlit farmyards. But what if some night a human was unfortunate enough to meet the werewolf?
Halloween had been one of their favourite holidays when Sirius was alive. The darker atmosphere seemed to draw them closer together; their lovemaking taking on a strange and intense urgency, far more passionate than usual. Even now, long after Sirius’ death, Remus could still taste their wild midnight kisses when his eyes closed.
Now all he had left was the kill…
