    Summary

    Wolfstar Games 2020 - Team Sound / Prompt: typewriter

     

    “Lupin didn’t seem pleased that I was filming last night,” Sirius said lightly.

     

    “Most people that come here…” Lily spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully, “Remus put it like this to me once: most people who choose to spend years of their life so far from civilization have a reason for leaving it behind. Remus wanted someone like us and he held out for so long because he expected he would get sent a bunch of finicky artsy types. I don’t think he expected you. And now that you’re here, I don’t think he quite knows what to do with you.”

     

    When wildlife filmmaker Sirius Black arrives on a remote Antarctic island for a year-long assignment, he isn't phased by the freezing wind, the perpetual darkness, or the hostility he meets from some of the biologists at the research base. He is used to living an itinerant existence. He is comfortable with unforgiving conditions. He expects the world to treat him harshly. But he does not expect to fall in love.

    Summary

    “But Claudia said you weren’t a candidate?”

    “She did.”

    “But that makes no sense, unless she’s wrong about something, but she’s normally wonderful.”

    “Sirius. Padfoot. Let’s have lunch, talk about this later, okay? Maybe tonight?”

    But Sirius’ eyebrows were still drawn together.  “You’re an excellent candidate.  Good age, proven track record with lycanthropy and have an official diagnosis, stable work and home life, not that those are impediments anyway, nor should they be.  Excellent health, unless Claudia found something off, like with your heart –"

    Now Sirius sounded worried.  “Nothing like that, Padfoot.  I promise.”

    “Then I really don’t understand,” Sirius continued.  “With your age, history, and a clean medical case, the only reason someone like you could possibly be rejected is a pregnancy, and that’s just ridiculous.”  Sirius frowned.

    Remus immediately looked down out of instinct, because he definitely didn’t want Sirius to see what had probably become written there at the word ridiculous.

    ***

    Instead of getting the Wolfsbane potion, Remus gets a surprise, though it's one he really should have expected.

    Summary

    Remus has always believed that December is the Hall's very best month. It's like the place was built to have boughs of holly and fir strung from every wall sconce and picture rail; like its architect, all those hundreds of years ago, designed it specifically to bear the big, fat garlands he and Lily wind around its balustrades and bannisters, and the jolly wreaths that they hoist into place on every door, and the towering, beribboned tree that stands proudly in the hotel reception and takes four of them a whole afternoon to decorate.

    A country hotel in the wintertime. Plenty of snow, plenty of mulled wine, and a feeling that this Christmas might be different.
