Summary
for years now, sirius has been free from the clutches of his family, even if it meant leaving his brother behind. he's built a new, happy life for himself, far away from the ghosts of his past, but they come back to haunt him when he receives an unexpected phone call.regulus is in a coma, and he's placed all end-of-life decisions in his estranged brother's hands, much to their parents' dismay. but sirius has no idea what regulus would have wanted; he hasn't spoken to him in years, and last he did, he wanted nothing to do with him.enter one remus lupin, a fellow frequent dweller of the oncology ward who holds the key to regulus's wishes and maybe to sirius's heart
Note
title from gracie abrams' song "free now"please mind the tags, this is going to be very heavy, very sad, and exactly what it says. the MCD is there for a reasonwith orange juice coming to an end (last chapter coming very, very soon, i promise), i needed more alcoholic sirius and sick remus, and as i was talking to my fic fam i realized i haven't done an MCD fic yet, so... this one was born, loosely inspired by my decedents' estates lectures for the bar examanyways, this is going to be... not fun
