godfather, embroiled in his own trauma, remained distant and broody

unable to write to sirius, which had previously been one of his favorite things
and greatest sources of comfort

assumed guilt for dumbeldore having to leave
51. he
knows shit is going down (the Order is protecting something) and

work at
all, but he doesn’t know any better
71. his
stress level just walking around daily is 8/10, no wonder he can’t cope???

breakout at azkaban is actually terrifying for him because he knows what those
people are capable of
First Cassian and Azriel appeared in the doorway. The High Lord’s general and Shadowsinger – and the most powerful Illyrians in history.
“Can he beat you?” – “Hand-to-hand combat? Yes. He’d have to earn it for a change, but he’d win. Cassian is the best warrior I’ve encountered in any court, any land. He leads my armies because of it.”
“I’ve witnessed Cassian rip apart opponents and then puke his guts up once the carnage stopped, sometimes even mourn them.”
“I saw Cassian trudging through the mud (…) bastards are given nothing: they find their own shelter, own food. If they survive and get picked to be in a war-band, they’ll be bottom-ranking forever, but recieve their own tents and supplies. But until then he’d stay in the cold.” – “Those mountains,” Azriel added, his face hard as ice,” offer some of the harschest conditions you can imagine.”

This piece of Cassian-meta is the most beautiful thing ever written. Thank you @highfaelucien, my dear Third, for blessing the world with this.
