Invasion!

Who: The New Hires
What: Sudden Memory Share
Where: Their Memory Palaces
When: After Intermission
Warnings/Notes: Possible in every memory, warn in subject lines.

Contact.

It's during a pause in their day. A nap. An idle moment looking across the Top Deck. Taking a slow breath between reps in the training room.

The New Hires are connected. Mental pathways locking together, they're forced into one another's innermost beings. Thrust into one another's memory palaces where the mind collects and stores everything that makes them who they are. The core of their beings are only a few steps away and no one can help the violation.

To make matters worse, it comes with no explanation or no ability to pull out and stop. Once they're through the first memory, perhaps they can find a way out, but they're already witnessing some event from their host's past. And, if they left, who knows whether or not they'd end up accidentally invading another memory palace?

And if they were there, who was in theirs?

[[So, how this works: the memories can either be viewed in spectator mode or experiencing everything themselves. The person whose memories are being shown, the host, can watch as their current self or take the form they had of their past self.

They cannot control the first memory shown, the player decides that, but they can control any other memories they'd like to show people. Of course, there's always the option of an extreme emotional reaction bringing up memories unbidden.]]

"Good. It'll work better with both of us." Even if they had turned a new leaf and cared for Harry, Sirius wasn't going to go easy on them. They had to know just what he'd do if they hurt his godson. He was grateful that Remus was with him in this-- and just that he was here with him now.

Now that his anger was ebbing he realized just how exhausted he was. It wasn't just from reliving his worst memories or the emotions that reconciling with Remus brought up. He still tired easily these days and the mattress, as terrible as it was, felt so comfortable. Especially with Remus there.

"I could fall asleep like this."

Remus would have said more, but he was cut off by a large, nearly jaw cracking yawn. He slumped against Sirius a bit more, eyes falling closed. "I don't see any reason not to."

Sirius would have grinned but it was the nature of yawns to be irresistible and he quickly followed suit. He shifted a little, getting more comfortable while staying just as close to Remus.

"I love you, Moony," he whispered. He couldn't pretend they were back at their flat or that things hadn't changed at all but he didn't need to. They were together now.

Remus shifted just slightly, enough so that they fit together better. Not perfectly, no, but better. He turned his hand, curling it into Sirius's top, not willing to let go. Just in case this was a dream.

"I love you, too, Padfoot."

Words he'd never thought he would say out loud again. But they loosened something in his shoulders, made his breathing just that much easier. Things had changed, but that one had always been the same.
