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.

Title: I Am Determined To Prove A Villain

Prompt: Completely unrelated to the prompt. Sorry. This was the only day I could squish this bit of plot in :(
Notes: Peter and Lily go to see Richard III, but there are Death Eaters in the audience and things aren't about to get complicated... Title and quotes from Richard III. I've taken one small liberty with history. There was a performance of Richard III at the National in 1979 but not until October. And I've not checked the actual cast list, for obvious reasons.

Prompt: Trees against the sky
Notes: Remus deliberately sets out to melt Sirius' brain. Oh, and there some gritty plot stuff as well. Bit of a fic of two halves I'm afraid. Title from Richard III

Prompt: Frost on windowpanes
Notes: Apologies for the delay - a combination of RL nasties, original fic demanding my attention and this one growing insanely. I wasn't going to cut it here but decided to for the sake of space. Tomorrow's will continue straight from here. Andromeda Tonks throws a dinner party. This one is for everyone who asked if Nymphadora was going to appear in this series. Title from Richard III

Prompt: "When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
-Albert Camus
Notes: I go for a three day moon. In January 1979 that's the 11th to the 13th. I have so much love for this prompt. I feel like subtitling this story 'Why I write MWPP-era'. Because, yeah. The morning after the last night of the moon. My favourite so far. Title from Richard III
