Delicious Irony (And Other Acquired Tastes): Chapter Eight
OH MY GOD.
This chapter gave me such PROBLEMS. First there's the whole school thing, which, you know, major bummer, taking up all of my precious writing time. And then Sirius and Remus just REFUSED to cooperate with me and they were all like, "omg we just want to shag," and I was like, "NOT YET YOU STUPID POOFTERS." But then an amazing thing ( Read more... )

I think it's more that Remus is not one to lose control that way, or at least, that's how I've always seen him. Not necessarily uptight, but just not the sort of bloke to really think about or experience those kinds of feelings. This view of Remus was probably mostly formed from The Shoebox Project, as that was the first R/S fic I ever read, but I think it works really well for him, so while I debated not using that particular scene with the wrestling, in the end, I thought it was appropriate. Or rather, appropriately inappropriate XD
As for Messr/Mr, I've seen arguments for both terms, but I am more inclined to believe what you said, despite using "Messr." in this fic. The only reason I decided to go with "Messr." in this is because I think it sounds so much cooler with the Marauders' nicknames than "Mr." Which I know is very bad on my part, especially as I'm a grammar freak of a rather ridiculous degree. I don't know, "Mr. Moony" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "Messr. Moony." Although I suppose you could pronounce them the same way. Ah well. I'll probably use "Mr." in future fics because eventually, the Grammar Nazi in me will win out.
