In a fic I enjoyed very much, Remus mentioned that he "always assumed the werewolf who bit him had a sick sense of humor". This is my musings on that, as well as how being treated as a werewolf in wizarding society would lead to that.````In this fic, the werewolf who bit Remus tells us about the night of the Bite, and philosophizes a bit--very bitterly--abt being a werewolf.``It's creepy--it's GOOD, it surprised me how good, but it's creepy--which is the only reason it is PG. There's no actual violence, no gore, it's just got an insight to a creepy side of human nature.
