STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily beedaily March 28 2011, 01:38:56 UTC

Title: Proud
Author/Artist: beedaily
Team: Stag.
Rating & Warnings: PG-13, language.
Summary: An unfortunate wager finds James playing waiter at Puddifoot's.

Really, he should know better by now than to wager with Sirius.

"Welcome to Puddifoot's. What can I get you?"

Someone clears their throat. Up until now, James has maintained a strict policy of keeping his eyes trained on his notepad to avoid the humiliation of actual eye contact. But at this light hemming sound-this familiar, light hemming sound-his gaze darts up automatically. He very much regrets the impulse when he meets the amused emeralds staring back at him, and even more so when he sees the blighter seated across from her ( ... )

Oh my God, this was fantastic... no wonder Bertram wound up with his head inflated ;) I can't wait to read more of your drabbles, because both of yours so far have been incredible! James' actions seemed so in-character, and when Lily joined him in the end it was perfect, not too mushy but still really sweet <3

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily beedaily March 28 2011, 02:34:11 UTC

I figure Bertram's inflating happened not-too-long from here, no? ;D

Glad you enjoyed! I think I might literally just sit and drabble all day long if there were prompts enough. Which is why it's probably a good thing that these are spaced out. Though I still drabble way too much, with or without them. *headdesk* =D

I. LOVED. THIS. I wish I could say more...but I really can't. Just all kinds of awesome.

*grin* Glad you enjoyed! Y_Y

This is such an awesome take on the prompt, Bee. I'm sort of floored here. James was lovable and very upstanding, bringing Lily what she would have ordered. Actually, I think I love him for knowing it to begin with. :) Aubrey was an arse--one of those you love to hate. And Lily? She was lovely, especially at the end.

Thanks, Hillary! When I first saw the prompt, I had a bit of groan moment because I've already done my Puddifoot!fic and I didn't know if such things come in pairs, but then this idea suddenly popped in my head and all was well. =)

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily klose March 28 2011, 04:17:06 UTC

I am in love with the idea of James as a waiter at Puddifoot's - it's original and kind of hilariously perfect. Bertram is a decided idiot, and I love that James brings the order Lily wants instead. Nicely done James, nicely done. *g* Thanks, as always, for sharing your wonderful writings with us!

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily beedaily March 28 2011, 22:27:32 UTC

Thanks so much! I grappled momentarily with taking on Puddifoot's in a non-cliche way and this was the result. Waiter!James. He'll do. ;D

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily killerbunny117 March 28 2011, 04:54:59 UTC

This is exactly what I needed during my break from the 2,000 word term paper. Great job Bee!!!

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily beedaily March 28 2011, 22:29:11 UTC

Thanks, Katie! Hope the term paper went/is going well. =)

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily firstbreaths March 28 2011, 10:24:58 UTC

Oh, I love the unusual take on the prompt and that, for all that James paying attention to Lily can come across as superficial, he really does notice the important things.

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily beedaily March 28 2011, 22:29:42 UTC

Thanks! It's the little things, right? Even done in a temper. =)

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily liebedance March 28 2011, 15:36:59 UTC

This just had me smiling the entire time. From James' stupidity to wager with Sirius to his apron to his knowing what Lily would've ordered. Really, just brilliant as always. Y_Y

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily beedaily March 28 2011, 22:30:23 UTC

Glad you enjoyed, Leah! Y_Y

Re: STAG [Fic, PG13] Proud by BeeDaily perilousgard March 28 2011, 20:05:18 UTC

I love the end, how James knew what she would have wanted. Angry/jealous James is one of my favorites, and I do love the way you write him. :) Nice job!
