Description:

The cruelest joke of Remus Lupin's life is that he is still living it. He was never meant to be the one to survive, but here he is. Again.

Now widowed and left to raise the child he once tried to abandon, he must play his part to help usher in a new age for the Wizarding World while battling his own demons.

Notes:

This is very much a thought experiment looking at what could have happened if Remus had survived to live the life he deserved (for better or worse). I specifically wanted to explore a situation in which he is faced with the same fate that he tried to thrust on Tonks when he abandoned her.

At the same time, I wanted to give Remus the chance to right a lot of the pain he has caused, repair broken and/or underdeveloped relationships, and come to terms with the senseless suffering he has endured (TBD how successful he is).
