When I loaded this page, I was prompted with a "restore saved draft" pop-up, and I clicked yes even though I had no idea what would be waiting. It was a mere half a paragraph about the rain and heat earlier this week that apparently left me so lethargic I could not even manage to finish a post about it. The sun was out today, bringing me back to ( Read more... )

Let's start this off with full disclosure: I think I'm writing a Remus/Sirius story. I know it's several years after the rise and fall of that epic tragic pairing of doom, but I think I still have a story to tell about them after all this time. It's set during Prisoner of Azkaban and it's angsty and it has Remus trying to atone for the fact that he ( Read more... )

I'm thrilled that I just got invited to join the_kennel, despite the fact that I haven't written Remus/Sirius for months. (Well, I guess the Remus/Tonks I wrote back in December was technically Remus/Sirius.)

You never kept me waiting
Come back now
Come back from beyond the veilIt's funny, even a ( Read more... )

The heat is making me unusually grouchy, although thunderstorms, takeout Chinese food, and Alias Season Two are all helping ( Read more... )

I still can't get over how much Raymond Carver's poem Locking Yourself Out, Then Trying to Get Back In is about Sirius. Right in the middle of GoF, just before his reunion with Remus and the "Lie low at Lupin's" era. It makes me want to write a Sirius story, about him seeing his old life, seeing all the pain he caused, and still, wanting it back. ( Read more... )
