Title: Winter Song
Author: _usakeh_
Genre: Drama, Hurt/Comfort
Word Count: ~7500
Summary: “You’ve already done everything you can. You’ve done more than you should have, really.” Remus watched as Sirius stepped over to the desk, picked up a pencil and began playing with it. Nervously, Remus dug his nails into the palms of his hands and added, “Plus, it’s really not that bad.”

“Rubbish, Remus.” Sirius snapped the pencil he was holding in two and flung the halves into their garbage can before continuing, “Do you really think that you can get away with saying that? How long have we known each other?”

“You’re right.” Remus sighed and dug his nails harder into his palms, so much so that they began to bleed slightly. “So it is pretty bad. But there’s nothing you can do about it, unfortunately.”

On the occasion of my best friend wieder's upcoming birthday, here's some music. Today's topic is Enka. I love Enka. Well, not all of it. Not even most of it, but what I love, I love to bits and pieces. Box.net tends to mess up the sequence of the uploaded files, so I've added links to each song as well as to the folder. I did make it with the proper sequence in mind, so that one song flows into the other smoothly. But in any case, hope you like a few of them!

It wouldn't be me if I didn't include something non-Enka in the Enka selection. There are three four (but three are more obvious then the 4th) songs like that here; see if you can find them :) Also, the very first song can be a bit overwhelming because of it's very slow and wailing beginning but just wait until it becomes rhythmic! Kiyoshi's voice is amazing, trust me. On the whole, today's post can be called a post with amazing voices. I've shared two of these songs with you already but not the rest of them.

Files are uploaded to Box.net, which means that you can listen to them before/as well as download(ing). So, with thanks tolyssaphra for giving me music and with best wishes to wieder, on to the music!
