40 parts Complete Remus Lupin's whole life in a story that aims to be canon compliant, despite the fact that it's based on a non-canon premise: what if Remus had survived the war?
After narrowly surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, Remus Lupin wakes in St. Mungo's to a world irrevocably changed. Tonks is gone, leaving him to navigate life as a single father to little Teddy. The pain of her loss, coupled with the weight of a lifetime of scars, makes the future feel daunting.
To aid survivors of the war, Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt expands the mind-healing wing at St. Mungo's, offering free support to those in need. For Remus, the sessions feel like a lifeline, a chance to untangle the traumas of his past-both the wounds inflicted by others and the guilt he's carried for far too long.
Guided by his healer, Mary Scamander, Remus begins to confront the memories that haunt him. Through flashbacks, the trials of his life come into sharp focus: the fear of his lycanthropy, the heartbreak of losing his closest friends, and the bittersweet triumphs of love and fatherhood.
But as Mary helps him find the strength to heal, Remus begins to see her struggles too. Scarred by her own life, she hides her pain behind professionalism. Slowly, their sessions reveal that healing is not a one-sided journey-and as Remus begins to rebuild his life, he might just help Mary reclaim her own sense of peace.
