Fics like When You Are Old

“Top up?” A voice asked. Remus, although nodding vaguely, was barely paying attention. He only snapped back into reality, when the glass reappeared on the counter with a gentle thump. He unfolded a crumpled note from his pocket, sliding it across the bar as his fingers gripped around the cool glass. Then he looked up. His heart did a strange flip, when his eyes finally met the bartender's. A man stood before him, long raven hair falling over his shoulders in perfect waves. The top button of his shirt was undone, revealing a slither of pale, tattooed skin beneath his neck. Dark eyelashes framed light eyes that seemed instantly so deep, so sinkable, that Remus didn't notice the twitch of a finger, or the shattering of glass. He didn't notice anything, until the man's perfect face had twisted with concern. --- A muggle teacher AU, in which Remus Lupin is a teacher and Sirius Black works in the staff's regular pub. Remus has Huntington's Disease, although he doesn't know it yet, and must face a grim new reality as he and those around him struggle with the implications.
