Love it

oh, oh, I mean- oh, umm, really, oh, merlin, fucking HELL

Oh... What the poor office saw that evening...
Amazing!

please do a sequel. would love to know what happens next.

Oh of course! Harry could have gone back. I wonder if he did after seeing all was well. I hope so.

Oh...Tom had to wait for 60 years?! That seems... horribly unfair and unnecessary. But somehow he is happy I hope and they are together lol. Love your writing as always, but oh...Harry should have stayed. He lost nothing by staying.

"Sirius. I can't live my life here, never knowing what becomes of them."

Of course he can. Harry would know in time. Why does he have to leave the man he loves? What if leaving and abandoning Tom is what turns him dark? There's no reason to leave.

"Somewhere in the future, a glass globe containing a prophecy about the two of us is shattering, turning to dust"

Yes! Prophecy depends on you, in the end.

Tom is staying in the castle for Harry's sake and Harry is planninh to kill him then?!

Dumbledore did not become a murderer; there was another way.

Solitary confinement for 60 years...not sure that's better. But of course, Harry has way more options, if only he will realize it.

"And yet, we must do what we must do."

Or you can just love...you don't owe the world that.

That "caretaker" has to be the first to go.

no Walburga Black? I thought she's only a year younger

Yes, just yes. I wish there was more of this artpiece but alas, it was not meant to be.

I kind of cried reading this ... maybe I'm just a little too sentimental, but please, that was so sad (with a technically happy ending too). I like it, congratulations.
