A/N: First drabble in a long, long time…heads-up for angst!
After twenty-seven years, Remus could read Severus's silences as well as his words.
The lead-heavy, congested silence of an argument.
The dangerous, sharp-knife silence that screamed steer clear, the whirling hurricane of silence that signaled action.
The comfy-chair, everyday silence of their life together. They were, both of them, men of rare and carefully chosen words.
The hot, wild silence of sex, midnight breaths and heated skin slick with sweat.
The bitter silence of separation, the oppressive, stifling silence of betrayal.
In the end, Remus turned one ear to the wind, and strained to hear the cool, airy silence of forgiveness.

We'd better get going on those other, fun projects, eh? So I don't dive off the angst cliff of DOOM. ;)
Welcome back! :)
That was sad, in a silent sort of way. Which is kind of weird because this story talks more about sounds--or lack thereof. Thank you for sharing. I love that you fit it in 100 words.
That's beautiful. :/
Is there a follow up where there is nothing but the silence of comfortable and untapped desire? Please?
