“As all his lives play out before his eyes in the pitiful moments before he dies, only one thought really rises above the other’s. So that, the last thing that James Potter thinks about, with his beating heart and fluttering pulse, is Sirius Black.
A moment in a train carriage, their eyes crashing into one another for the first time, like two suns colliding. He was bright without Sirius, but he was brighter with him. His universe set fundamentally to rights the moment they shook hands.
If Sirius dies James dies. And if James dies—
Sirius.
He barely feels it when the green bolt slides between his ribs. It’s just a shiver really. A chill. Not so bad at all. Maybe it didn’t work. Maybe something went wrong. Maybe he’s still breathing.
Except that he’s falling.
Crashing to the floor as the world becomes a mash of indistinguishable sounds and colours.
Oh Sirius, I’m so sor—”

“I’m here.”
“I know that.”
“No, really James. I’m here. I know that it’ll be…“ he swallows with some difficulty, “harder now, what with…” the alcohol seems to have robbed Sirius of his ability to finish his sentences.
“The hiding,” James decides to help him out, feeling Sirius nod against him. In the dark the light catches Sirius’s eyes, making them look like water.
“But I will always be here, always, always. Okay? For you. For Lily. For Harry.”
James’s chest is starting to feel uncomfortably tight. “I wish you and Moons would just move in.”
Sirius laughs quietly, though there’s something heavy about it. “It never feels right, does it? All of us not being together.”

“Funny, how everything speeds up and slows down all at once. Seconds stretching into hours, the door opening for lifetimes. His lifetime. And the many lifetimes he didn’t live. James feels himself splintering even before he sees Voldemort’s face. The strings attached to all his possible endings being snipped one by one. All the choices he could have made falling away.
This is the last one.
There will be no more.
Where once there were multitudes now there is but a single boy. Naked. And alone. Standing at the front door of his family home. Meeting an unexpected guest. In a way, this is just how it all started.”
