Title: In The Deep Bosom Of The Ocean Buried
Rating: PG-13 for fantasies and nekkidness. :)
Disclaimer: They're not mine. I'm just borrowing them because I like them.
Wordcount: 2506
Prompt: Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not.
-William Shakespeare
Notes: Sirius broods while he waits for Remus to come home. Remus has had a terrible journey. I was vaguely intending to make this angsty but I've had a shitty few days and my muse insisted on fluff. Can't say I mind too much :) Title from Richard III.

Title: To Fright The Souls Of Fearful Adversaries
Rating: PG for language

Wordcount: 1405
Prompt: Sausages
Notes: Plottiness. Sirius and Remus see somewhere who shouldn't be there. Jan 22 1979 was one of the key dates of the Winter of Discontent. Virtually all public sector workers went on strike on this day and there were marches through several major cities - hence Sirius' problem with the crowd. The BBC have a nice description of what happened. Title from Richard III.

Rating: R/NC-17 for mature themes and bad behaviour in a public place.
Disclaimer: They're not mine. I'm just borrowing them because I like them.
Wordcount: 2498
Prompt:
Say even that this complete simplicity
Stripped one of all one's torments, concealed
The evilly compounded, vital I
And made it fresh in a world of white,
A world of clear water, brilliant-edged,
Still one would want more, one would need more,
More than a world of white and snowy scents.

- The Poems of Our Climate, Wallace Stevens
Notes: Back to the Alan Radcliffe case. Remus and Sirius misbehave in a ministry loo. *throws hands in the air* They weren't supposed to do that today. Title from Richard III.
