AN: I'm hoping this chapter doesn't come across as confusing or badly structured — the first 2000 words or so are comprised of two different scenes/ encounters between Hera and Sirius in the aftermath of her finding out and the breakdown of their relationship. CW:Domestic violence (?), addiction (in a flashback). Following that there's a jump to Christmas Day, and Hera leaving the home to be with other prominent characters in this narrative.
I'm not trying to rush them back together by any means, however given what they've been through together and the fact that there's still love between them, I find it hard to completely avoid any physical affection or longing in their encounters. I just don't find that realistic for them. To add to this, their living situation/ the backdrop of war makes a typical separation impossible to properly execute here as they're forced to continue in their codependency because of these factors.
"What are you doing?" Sirius asked in a falsely bright voice, regarding his wife as she drew absentmindedly on the back of some old lined paper.
