Fic: Of Nothing in Particular (Sirius/James, R)

[kabeyk]

Okay. If you ignore the wangst at the start, the rest isn't too bad. And don't even ask about the title. Apologies for how badly cross-posted this will very soon be.

EDIT: Oh god, sorry; I'd forgotten that all my little fic-things were for people. So, for spessartine:

Title: Of Nothing in Particular
Pairing: Sirius/James
Rating: R, maybe nearly NC17, so be

Gnah. I am generally resistant to James/Sirius because it excludes Remus and therefore breaks my heart, but this, this is amazing. The insecurity, the development of the tension, and the trust and the love are just so delicately constructed and beautifully written. Love this.

[kabeyk]

Oh, thank you! This began as being James trying to comfort Sirius because Remus was rather immune to his charms, but I started to love the James and Sirius-ness so much that I removed all that.

I'm really torn - one the one hand this was seriously well written and very hot (and I did not need to be any hotter today; the heat is killing me!) and yet I just...James freaked me out; saying he should be first - scary James.

But, yeah, totally loved it really.

[kabeyk]

Why is the weather 'the hottest in years' everywhere else, and crap where I am? Unfair.

Really, that was freaky? Heh, soz.

Thank you!

I really wish it wasn't with me, I had two exams today in a hot, tiny little school hall.

Probably because I'm used to, and write, dominant - sure of himself- Sirius so I find other characters taking that stance unnerving.

Ignore me. I'm strange.

[kabeyk]

Heh. Aww, we're all strange around here! Hope your exams were good.

Could be called 'Our Little Secret'? As Sirius says at the end.

Well, leaving Remus aside, you've still got straight(ish) James trying to give Sirius the experience and confidence and getting sucked in. Scuse choice of words! Which was a very good thought, and works very well. It's so much about friendship as well as sex.

I also like Sirius being insecure. Makes so much sense.

Lovely, anyway. Worth the wait! ♥

That's what it was going to be called, but I thought that was too wanky and/or implied things I didn't like. If you'd said that earlier, I would have used it! I knew I should have asked you!

It's so much about friendship as well as sex.

Thank you, because that's exactly why I removed the Remus aspect from it.

It's a very kabeyk sort of title, somehow! And no, it's not REMOTELY wanky. IMO.

I can see exactly why Remus had to go. Poor Remus... In fact, as an R/S shipper I did also read into it the implication that when James moved on to different things, Sirius might then feel okay to move on to Remus. I know that's a projection, but it's really good to be able to project on to a story!

Oh, I would have used it, but I thought other people would think it sounded silly. But then you might just be saying that because I used Smiths lyrics:

I am the son, I am the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am the son and heir, of nothing in particular.

It was supposed to symbolise Sirius' loneliness and shyness about his sexuality and forming relationships based on it, and possibly his separation from his family too. The rest of the lyrics are vaguely relevent and it made sense at the time...

See, as an R/S kind of person, I was thinking that, and I could have added a bit of 'oh Remus'll come round eventually' sort of thing, but in the end I didn't want to. But yeah, you could definitely read it that way. Earlier versions had more detail about Sirius' worries, and part of that was hinting at him having a crush in Remus, but all that got cut.

Ooh, I liked James being the one to start it all; I've not read it that way round before.

That’s it, thought Sirius, we are turning into girls. ‘James-‘

Brilliant - Sirius thinking they were going to turn into girls for talking about their feelings.

ended up finally just looking at James, at his body, paper-pale skin and long lines and sharp angles, the perfect edges of his narrow shoulders, the way his hip-bones jutted above his underwear, the delicate bones of his wrists.

I loved the description here of James, all bony boyishness. Especially the wrists. Yum.

Oh, it slayed me when James wriggled against Sirius. Frottage gets me every time.

[_emeraldgreen]

Gah, logged in as wrong person. Oh well, you might he guessed from the wrists!

[kabeyk]

I always do that girl thing, to excuse the girlyness, heh.

Oh, I mentioned the wrists just for you. And me, because I love it.

Oooh, the 'F' word scares me! I'm so pathetic, writing porn, but unable to use the real words.

Thank you.x

[_emeraldgreen]

Yay! Wrists should be mentioned more often because of their all round goodness and beauty. Yes.

*giggles*

Sorry for scaring you with the F word. Won't mention it again. I can say it(not out loud though), but I can't write porn, so I think you got a better deal!

[scarah2]

Wow, I really liked it a lot. I'm glad you left Remus out too. :D

[kabeyk]

Heh, thank you. I was going to put Remus in, but got far too caught up in the James-and-Sirius-ness, and they didn't need him anyway.
