I would like to hear about Without you I'm nothing

This is my 150k in-progress edit of my Remus POV Wolfstar fic. It is a dual time period piece, focused on Remus after Sirius' death and the Marauders at school so all the classics are here from my perspective of the timeline (The Prank, Sirius leaving home etc). It picks up from Patient Potions Master, but could be read without it.

Rating: M

Pairings: Wolfstar (Unresolved), James/Lily, Sirius/OC (pre-Wolfstar), Remus/OC (pre-Wolfstar),

Genre: Drama/Angst. Hurt/Comfort. Coming of Age. Dealing with Grief. Friendship. UST. Extreme Slow Burn.

Title: taken from and inspired by Without You I'm Nothing by Placebo (Feat. David Bowie).

Synopsis: Remus returns from his trip to Hogwarts feeling desolate and confused. In dealing with his grief Remus is forced to face the feelings he has tried to ignore and explain away the bitterness of years that have passed.

Snippet:

Sirius had been thinking, his grey eyes serious as he looked at Remus. After a long moment of silence, Sirius cleared his throat and began to speak, his voice warm and genuine, "Oh I don't know about that Moony…" Suddenly Sirius' expression changed and as he beat his chest in a Neanderthal manner he teased, "Well, you certainly haven't got the charm, looks and charisma I have." Remus rolled his eyes. "But you definitely have…something…"  Something about the way Sirius had said the word "something" caused Remus’ stomach to lurch. But he tried to conceal it as he laughed lightly and said, “Oh really? What’s that?”  Sirius was regarding him closely, his eyes searching his face as he searched for the right words.  “You have that sort of thing that people…I mean girls go for.” He waved his hand before explaining, “You know what I mean. That sort of…distance…” “Distance?” Remus said, confused.  “You know. That sort of aloofness. Not that I’m saying you’re cold,” Sirius hastened to add, “It’s like a stillness, you know?”  Remus didn't know. "Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about…" Sirius mumbled, half to himself and half to Remus. Remus' eyes were fixed on Sirius who had now stood up and was busying his hands by taking off his tie completely. "Maybe I’m not exactly the expert on this.”  Remus watched the way Sirius wrapped the tie he’d just removed tightly about his hand.   “All I’m saying,” Sirius continued, the embarrassment gone from his voice, the blush gone for his cheeks. “Is that maybe you’re not quite the hopeless case you think you are. And perhaps, at some point, you’ll figure that out.”
