I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts.

"Despite his upbringing, Sirius wasn’t meant for grief: he couldn’t process it nor fully understand it. It stood as the biggest enigma his brain had yet to figure out, steadily followed by most human emotions and some relationship dynamics."The First Wizarding War is over: Voldemort is dead and so are many others. The Order is taking what's left and working with it, but nobody seems to have answers for the many questions spinning in everyone's minds. They are all just expected to pick up the pieces and somehow fiddle with them enough that they can stitch back to each other. Is getting a pet in this situation the best option? Not Really, but Sirius was never the wisest marauder anyway, so it's on brand. Besides, it's not like the cat had asked him.Or: Someone killed Voldemort and Sirius adopts a cat, everything sprinkled with a (un)healthy dose of trauma, feelings and undercover work that mostly just makes it worse(The tags may be updated as I got, so keep an eye on them)

Hi!This is the first ever Marauder fanfic I publish and I'm not gonna lie, I'm excited and scared.Just letting you know that I have some chapters prepared but updates may eventually slow down (I'll tell you in the notes eventually if that's the case) because this fic is not finished at the time I am publishing this.That being said, I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments: I'll be reading you! Also I feel so cliche saying this but English isn't my first language so if any jaw-clenching mistakes escape my editing please let me know! (Because I have no beta lol)See you on the other side-M
