The photo by the bed showed James swooping in and out on his broom while Sirius and Remus watched. Peter ducked in once a while but ran away when Sirius looked at the photo. Once in a while, after Peter had scurried out and James had flown up, Remus would hold Sirius's hand. "You are a very old picture," Sirius said.

Gah. Just when I think I'm old and jaded about these boys, someone writes something like this and I'm yanked right back in again. Beautiful and so . . . ouchy. I wish I had better words for how that made everything in my chest twist.

Thank you so so much. And yeah - I keep having to write something where they get a happier ending. Somehow.

Ow. Lovely but ow.

I love that after all this time they are still confused, messed up and sharp around the edges. The not-happily-ever-after rings true.

Thank you so so much! :)

Oh, my. That was probably my favouritest thing I've read in a long time in this fandom. Lovely, lovely. Particularly loved your Sirius voice. And the table.

callmesandy July 1 2006, 19:29:37 UTC

Thank you so so much! Everyone loves the table. :)

i like this because it reminds me of rosencrantz & guildenstern are dead.

callmesandy July 1 2006, 19:30:14 UTC

So Cate totally got to quoting this back at you before I did, but lo, it is on my clipboard:

Once in a while, after Peter had scurried out and James had flown up, Remus would hold Sirius's hand.

Oh, that bit right there just killed me dead. I love this so much, and the idea of Sirius fucking for the powers of light fills me with inordinate glee. This is so very well done.

Fucking for peace could be really fun! Thank you so so much!
