Short Prologue
Padfoot never seemed to care what the world thought of him. If he got an idea into his head, he would go through with it, no matter how strange, childish, unusual, or inappropriate other people were sure to find it. Sometimes it was truly a problem (Snape and Remus’ wolf form could testify to that), but usually Remus found it quite amazing. He could never have the same kind of reckless freedom, but even just being around someone who did made the world seem much more fun, and the impossible just a bit more possible.
There were countless examples of Sirius’ ‘fuck it’ attitude over the years, but Remus definitely had a few particular favorites. They were some of Sirius’ bravest moments, and during them Remus felt he was seeing his friend’s truest form. Embarrassingly, it had always been a little overwhelming for him. Seeing Sirius when he was so purely him; it was a bloody incredible thing. These are the stories of the most overwhelming examples of all.
