dollsome | The Shiny Happy Comment Ficathon!

Winter is coming; daylight is fleeting; for the students among us, end-of-semester hell is just about to rear its ugly head. What better way to combat such woes than with a super-cheerful comment ficathon?

Ergo:

The Rules Are Thus:

1. Cheerful prompts! I feel like there's not much regulation here in terms of pairings: almost every ship or pair of characters is capable of a fluffy/happy/silly moment, and if they're not in canon, then why can't they be in fic? However, any prompt involving, say, lyrics from Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" is probably not appropriate in terms of tone. Unless it's the "guess that's why they call it WINDOW PANE" line, which will never stop being hilarious.

2. Prompt format should go thus:

Fandom -- Pairing or characters -- prompt

3. For the fic you've written, please put the following in your comment's subject line: 'Fandom -- pairing -- title.'

4. Be nice!

5. Spread the fun, if you are so inclined!

6. Go forth and have a merry happy good time. :)

Harry Potter - Remus/Sirius - Lie low at Lupin's

Deleted and re-posted because I am a silly person who messes up html and hates accidentally leaving words out, among other things! Sorry about that.

----

The cottage, Sirius is overwhelmingly, gapingly happy to discover, is wonderful. It is full of windows, and soft yellows, and the smell of old books. It is the sort of place he can imagine Remus spending years and years and so he spins himself the comforting fiction as he waits to be summoned back into the middle of a war. Moony has been here since 1981, doing consulting work for the Ministry in magilinguistics and keeping the local bookstore in business with his compulsory need to read Muggle murder mysteries, he thinks at the clinging darkness of his bedroom one night. I have been on a very long, relaxing, and entirely voluntary holiday.

It's ridiculous, of course-- nothing about it more so than the very idea that he would've left Remus voluntarily. "It strains credulity in the worst way," he murmurs to the ceiling, and fights the urge to leap out of bed and explain this to Moony directly.

"I was talking to the ceiling last night," Sirius announces at breakfast the next morning, and promptly sets to work ignoring the fear that flashes in Remus' eyes before he replies, "Were you?"

You never used to think I was mad just because I said mad things, Sirius does not say. Being a bit mad used to be part of my charm.

"Mmhmm," he says. "Terrifyingly awful conversationalist. My mother would've had a fit. Have you not been socializing it properly? You've got to teach it to make terrible small talk at all hours-- keep it informed about the weather and so on. You never know when someone important might want to drone at your ceiling about how much rain we've had lately."

"An excellent point," Remus says. "I see now the error of my ways."

"I should bloody well think you do," Sirius says. "It's a good thing you have me here to set you back on the straight and narrow. What kind of trouble would you get into without me, Moony?"

"The worst sort, I'm sure," Remus says dryly.

Sirius comes across him chatting companionably with the kitchen sink some time later and is so overcome with stupid joy that he could almost cry.

"Are you teaching it about the price of Fire Whiskey in China?" He says. "People will want to know."

"I'm starting small," Remus says. "The weather, Quidditch scores, that sort of thing. Perhaps you'd like to assist me? Today's Prophet is still on the table, I think."

Which is how Sirius Black, Slightly Mental Escaped Convict Extraordinaire, comes to dedicate an entire afternoon to the solemn and oratorical reading of horoscopes and crossword clues to a kitchen sink (accompanied by Remus Lupin, A Werewolf And Rather More Importantly A Moony, who specializes in bemused asides, fond smiles, and knowing the answers to the crossword).

OH, GOSH, THIS IS LOVELY, with just the right amount of sadness. Sirius comes across him chatting companionably with the kitchen sink some time later and is so overcome with stupid joy that he could almost cry. ♥

There is nothing about this I do not adore. Sirius's heart-breaking little fantasy! The banter! The horoscopes! The slight frayedness Sirius tries fixing by being amazingly hilarious! The last sentence, in which laeria finds herself reminded of Winnie-the-Pooh in a rather pleasant way indeed!

You never used to think I was mad just because I said mad things, Sirius does not say. Being a bit mad used to be part of my charm.

How much do I love this part? As much as I love this entire fic. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful writing and totally believable characterization <3
