Fic or Fish
Have just posted a fic to the redandthewolf community for their Tales of Whiskey and Regret Challenge. If you fancy a tale of highly unlikely Ancient Rune casting, along with a look at the Marauders and their friendship from Peter's POV, centred very much on Remus, of course, then I hope you don't regret it or immediately need a whiskey afterwards, lol.
Title: The Outcast
Summary: "Sometimes I think Remus must always feel a bit of an outsider, even amongst the four of us." Peter knows the best thing in the world is having friends who care about you. And Remus needs a friend right now. (Suggestion of possible R/L; James hoping for J/L;)).

Author’s Note: I have my hands up to apologise to any passing Rune Casting Experts - my version is based roughly 5% on something I read and 95% make-it-up-as-you-go-along to fit the fic. My prompts were Silver Bullet and the lyrics from Strawberry Fields Forever, by the Beatles: Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me. Feedback is always much appreciated. :)
There seems to be R/T fics (and art) everywhere at the moment - I'm well behind in reading and reviewing, as usual, at metamorfic_moon - which is great to see. I wonder what JKR is doing to keep busy? I keep wondering how she must be feeling and what the critics are going to do this time (they were mostly full of praise for HBP, after absolutely slating OotP - overdoing the former and being unfair to the latter, to my prejudiced mind), and whether she just longs for it all to be over... It must be very difficult to do these interviews, and not have a complete brainstorm and blurt everything out.
Cleaning up after the flooding is still going on around here. I walked past the racecourse this morning (someone without a brain put it right next to the river, unless they were thinking it was for water polo) and the entire course was underwater for weeks. Lots of fish got brought inland and there was an amazing operation to try and save them, with people bringing dinghys and little rowing boats, along with their fishing nets! They reckon they saved over 10,000 fish but a lot got stranded and died. I have to say, the smell is quite something, and they're due to race there next week. Not quite sure what the horses will think of a track like a bog and a fishy odour everywhere?!
