Love & Scars

Izzie has a talent for two things: missing the Hogwarts Express and hiding what's waiting for her at home. Sixth year starts the same as the rest - arriving early, alone, and pretending she's fine.

Sirius Black has never paid much attention to her. She's Remus's friend, quiet in all the ways Sirius is loud, and nothing he needs to think about.

Until he does.

As their unlikely friendship shifts into something neither of them knows how to name, the people who are supposed to love them most become the greatest danger they face. A curse. A secret. Parents who would rather destroy than lose control.

Sirius has never been good at feelings. Izzie has never had the luxury of having them.
But some things are harder to curse away than others.

Love & Scars is an angsty, slow-burn Marauders Era romance about two people learning that love is not the same thing as survival - but sometimes, if you're lucky, it can be both.
