breiða sjáflr - playlist explanation
space oddity by david bowie
"and the stars look very different today"
listen okay i know this song is supposed to be about drug use (if i have to listen to one more man explain that to me, i am going to lose it) but i've always loved it for the beginning of a great journey. when i saw it in the secret life of walter mitty, it really solidified its place in my brain as something that needed a place in one of my stories. this fic is meant to be a journey where both remus and sirius can shed the expectations from their regular lives and rebuild together.
