kirsch (a short fic)

[anne_jumps]

I initially wrote this last night just on a light whim, recalling the story in Parachute Infantry about the bottle of kirsch, but today I've been obsessed with this song and it's lent this a darker cast (even if the song is about Judas and Jesus and even if it doesn't totally fit....)

You lead me on with those innocent eyes

Tea is sweet (no pun intended); I think you'll get along nicely with her! She's been feeling down lately, and I think a commission request might perk her up immensely. :)

I don't think either asemic or andrealyn is around much anymore, alas. Unless they're hiding under other names (one never knows).

There ARE odd parallels with Remus/Sirius and Webgott, when you think about it, aren't there? Maybe a few more with Winnix and R/S, but still...

Yeah, there was a writer in the R/S fandom (which just EXPLODED today on my yahoo list - over whether criticizing book 7 constituted "disrespecting" JKR, and I thought: really? Four years on? REALLY?) - but, yeah, whenever that writer posted, I always freaking avoided her stories, because they were invariably about Sirius abusing Remus in some way. She had commented on a fic or two of mine and figured I "owed" her, so demanded to know why I hadn't commented.

I, being a fucking idiot, TOLD her.

Her next story was a sex story, because, she said, I (meaning me) like those. And I was like, yeah, but not hate sex or rape. Jesus.

She then told me I was childish and naive for being "romantic" and, much to my relief, defriended me. One of my friends from those days (oddly enough, named Nyx) loves to tease me by occasionally saying, "Hey, Cricket - remember the hate-sex-on-a-desk-fic that you're not sophisticated enough to appreciate?"

I hope you don't mind, but I've been looking at your journal again, and remembering that yes, you are every bit as cool as I remember. I miss you even more now! Stay in the fandom this time!!!! (Maybe we can lure Lora back, too...)

I'm getting along well with teaspoonery as we speak ;)

Andrealyn is usually really busy with traveling for work but I know she's got a big Webgott AU work going on.

Thanks for welcoming me back :D
