delicate

Reader is a young professor who, with a blend of ambition and trace of naivety, transitions from the familiar halls of Beauxbatons to the storied stone of Hogwarts. Here, she meets Remus Lupin.As the school year progresses, so does their relationship, evolving from professional courtesy to something more.Remus carries with him a deep-seated shame, a legacy of his lycanthropy that has shaped his life in ways both seen and unseen. Yet, in her presence, he discovers a solace he had thought beyond his reach. The laughter and shared moments of quiet vulnerability offer Remus a glimpse into a life less burdened by his secret. It's a fragile thing, finding comfort in her company and fearing the day his truth comes to light.Because, in the end, navigating friendship and possibility, under the watchful eyes of a world both magical and mundane, is a journey fraught with challenges. It asks of them both a question, as old as time and as new as the feelings between them: Can something so tentative thrive in the shadow of secrets and light of discovery?Cause I know that it's delicate, isn't it?

This story might just be the series of therapy sessions I've been putting off but so desperately need. It's a dive into the murky waters of connection, the kind of shame that eats away at you, how that same shame can end up wounding the people closest to us, and the stark differences that both challenge and complement us.It's about those moments when we just can't seem to get communication right, when judgments cloud our better selves, and yet, somehow, it's also about finding the courage to be vulnerable and the strength that comes from accepting ourselves and others.It's about a man whose shame convinces him he's destined to ruin every good thing in his life, and a young woman whose heart is too full, too ready to love, stretching them both to their limits. This is a narrative woven into the fabric of everyday magic and those quiet, significant moments that slowly stitch together an unexpected, profound bond—and yes, the hefty challenges that tag along. Also, yes the title is a Taylor Swift song.
