When You Let Go

Trigger Warning

Remus does not like being a werewolf. Of that, he is certain.
He hates the sleepless nights that precede a full moon, the anxiety that he'll hurt something.
He hates that he has no future, that when people find out, they can't even look at him.
But he is glad of one thing - the scars.
Well, actually, no. He hates those too. They maul his body, making him look even more like the monster he is.
But when you have so many scars already - and a reason for them - he's noticed that people don't see the other scars as any different.
The ones he carves into himself with his wand at three in the morning, when everyone else is asleep.
