Brief Author Bio:

Married, one cat, two dogs. Astrophysicist. I love to teach and I love to work with my hands. I stay young and silly. I like to be myself. I have impulsive selfish tendencies but a large and innocent heart. I try very hard to see the world through new eyes, always discovering. I like getting stuck outside in thunderstorms, leather flats, and the sound of insects at night.

Synopsis:

Fan fiction; Harry Potter; Remus/Sirius. In school, the couple performs a complicated spell to marry their thoughts in a subtle but intricate union. They assume they will be together forever. They assume that misunderstandings aren't possible when you can read your partners' emotions. They will find out how wrong they were. Follows the course of canon.

Excerpt:

Sirius could not remember the day he had discovered that Remus was a werewolf. This was largely due to the fact that no such day existed. It has been at first a niggling sense of 'something's not right with his stories' and 'he's keeping a secret from us.' The list of plausible secrets had eventually shrunk under Sirius' and James' dutiful determination. Remus had once supposed that they were so dogged about discovering his secret because they fancied him a good friend, but alas, such was not the case. For the likes of Sirius and James, secrets were simply meant to be found out, the way puzzles were meant to be solved, snowballs meant to be thrown, and Slytherins meant to be hexed. The function of secrets in the world was to provide mental stimulation for bored Gryffindor boys who hated classes. As secrets went, Remus' was not kept with as much diligence as one might expect. He'd lived mostly in isolation and with his parents. His excuses and stories fell flat, and later James would remark that he hadn't really made an effort on them if he'd been hoping to waylay the ilk of Sirius and James.

The result of these facts was that Sirius had never had a moment, nor even a day, that contained a 'Aha that quiet bloke we share a room with must be a werewolf' moment. Rather, it was a slow realization. Once he had acknowledged the high possibility of the unlikely scenario that the boy in the next bunk over was a dangerous and dark magical creature, he easily could see that he'd more or less known the truth if the matter for a good week or two and had simply been coming to terms with it before he could say so to himself.
