Title: An Intimate Alliance of Contradictions, part 4/31 (I hope)
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairing (this part): Peter/Bertha Jorkins, Remus/Peter UST
Characters/Pairing (overall fic): Remus/Peter, Remus/Severus
Summary: "It would take too long to explain the intimate alliance of contradictions in human nature which makes love itself wear at times the desperate shape of betrayal. And perhaps there is no possible explanation." ~ Joseph Conrad
Kinks/Warnings: Voyeurism (sort of), angst
Overall warnings: Angst
Challenge: LMOM '08, day four
Word Count: 2000-ish
Notes: This part was supposed to be
much smuttier, but the story wouldn't let it, so this part really pushes the whole PG-13 smut and "Remus is involved somehow even if only as a voyeur" rules about as far as one can without breaking them. I think. I hope. *G* This part is set in 7th year. I plan to span 7th year to POA, and keep this canon compliant. Thanks so so much to
innerslytherin for inspiring the Remus/Peter love, and for the speed beta-reading. :)
