One year ago, Matt Parkman died. His already-ridiculous world turned itself upside down, everything turned to fire and ice or something less poetic-sounding, he died, and then it all got turned upside down again. He met the woman who would turn out to be the best thing that had happened to him in years (he also pulled a gun on her, but hey, ( Read more... )

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanIt was the third reel of six he'd found. The first two had actually made him laugh. Where did they come up with these people anyway? Some ancient waifs to play him and Lily, some old codger with an actual set of good teeth and decent hair to play Snivellus - all right, he'd give them credit for casting the ( Read more... )

When all was said and done, it looked like something out of a storybook ( Read more... )

Being stuck on the island is often like being a child stuck at home during the widest days of their summer break: If you're athletic-minded, there's a plethora of obvious activities to keep you occupied; if you're not, you're limited to what little diversion is available inside or in your imagination, and some days are better than others.

I don't even realize what day it is until nearly the whole day is done. Near the end of my life, I barely talked to my parents. I didn't talked to anyone, actually, but that isn't the point. It's strange, now. After so long away from then, all I find myself wishing right now is I could make up for so many of the things I missed. I clouded myself ( Read more... )

Insomnia isn't anything particularly new for Sirius, a holdover from his later days at school, gone all night with Remus each full moon. In idle moments staring at a darkened ceiling or the distant flicker of late night city lights, he'd wondered whether his circadian rhythm had been irrevocably altered, a relentless testament to a friendship that ( Read more... )

The reactions to May's theme night had been mixed, but fortunately, most of the staff were willing to get into the spirit of the occasion once the night rolled around. Saffron had found a hideous dress in the clothes box - or rather, a dress in a hideous style but with a perfect fabric - and she'd taken it to Prior, who had turned it into something ( Read more... )

Having been a regular visitor at James' and Sirius' hut, Chase inevitably catches James alone. James has a few questions, but gets a lot more information than he asked for.

Dated early April, 2009:
It's typically not a good thing when both Sirius and James are moody; in this instance it works in their favor, as they finally start getting some of their issues out into the open and bond over the dubiousness of having a kid you never even got the chance to make.

As far as wedding receptions go, Lew thinks they don't get much better than this. Sure, they've got limited resources on the island, but it's amazing how much can get accomplished when everyone works together, and if he had to compare, he'd swear this was every bit as enjoyable as his own reception, back home. This one's got more love invested, ( Read more... )
