    Summary

    Lily can sneak out at midnight without making a sound. That's the first thing Pandora learns about her.
    Maybe she should've known to be careful right then.

    Pandora can pick locks with just a hairpin. That's the first thing Lily learns about her.
    Perhaps she should've known to be cautious right then.

     

    It's the summer of 1977. The world is burning and they're just fanning the flames.

    Summary

    There are days we live
    as if death were nowhere
    in the background; from joy
    to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
    from blossom to blossom to
    impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.

    — Li-Young Lee

    It's the end of their sixth year, and they're in love. War looms in the background.

    They got together only a month ago, so they’re still in spring, still blooming. Drunk on their own sickly sweet scent.

    Their bodies touch in new ways but the life that sprouts from the places where they meet skin to skin, it’s already familiar. Remus already knows it like the back of his hand. Maybe their love has become more visible only now, with kisses on the cheek and clasped hands and winking across tables. But Remus has felt it for almost six years. Has felt it taking root all throughout his body, from his fingertips to the capillaries at the very core of him.

    Summary

    es agrāk šķielēju, un man ik pa laikam lika līmēt tos plāksterus uz labās acs, lai šķielējošā iemācītos pareizi redzēt. bet tas nekad nepalīdzēja. un tad es aizbraucu uz Cūkkārpu un manas acis pēkšņi vienmēr raudzījās tikai vienā virzienā. nezinu. varbūt viena no manām acīm visu laiku ir sekojusi tev?

    es izdomāju uzrakstīt kaut ko latviski. īsumā, remus ļoti mīl siriusu trīssimts vārdos.

    Summary

    See, we don’t know what an organism is. And it’s not because we haven’t figured it out yet or something, it’s that there are no organisms. There are only cells, and even those—

    Okay, it doesn’t really matter. Point is, there is no distinction. Are the bacteria in your stomach symbiotic? Or are they just you? There is no answer, but if I had to come up with one to get into my dorm, I’d say that stuff that always moves together is part of the same organism. You always carry your bacteria around with you, ergo it’s you.

    I think my eyes are you. They go wherever you do.

    Summary

    It’s nice sitting here, in Regulus’s dorm. Nice to get away from that desk he always does his homework on. Nice to not have all this noise around him. Nice to not have someone a few feet away at all times, someone who wants something from him — advice, a funny joke, a shoulder to cry on, help with an essay.

    He loves to help people. But sometimes he feels like he’s on a sinking ship, each request another bucket of water spilt on deck, and no one expects him to need a lifeboat because he’s such a good swimmer.

    He still needs someone to hold him.

     

    James is overwhelmed by homework and worried about his friends. Regulus reminds him that he needs to take care of himself too.

    Summary

    Sirius bends his elbows, leaning down to kiss his neck and Remus is a matchbox, each brush of Sirius’s wild hair against the side of his neck igniting a flame; they’re burning, they’re matchstick and fervour and bonfire; they’re ablaze.

     

    Some hair braiding leads to some kissing.

    Summary

    Lily had tamed the butterflies long ago. Befriended them. Heading to Hogwarts for the sixth time, she even welcomed the fluttering wings in her stomach, relished in the excitement of hugging Mary, talking with her about the summer, about what NEWT subjects they're going to take, about that delicious strawberry sorbet Lily had eaten on her way to the station. They'd sent letters, of course, stacks of Mary's stood carefully placed in the left drawer of Lily's desk back at home, but ink on parchment couldn't compare to this, Mary's voice like sunrays on a blue-skyed day, clear and bright and warm, a playful melody in Lily's ears. Together they were a symphony. Violins and cellos reverberating between them, the strings tying them together and surrounding them in harmony.

     

     

    Lily's not nervous, she's just excited, okay?

    (basically, a short and sweet get-together oneshot, a bit of self-indulgence and pushing the marylily agenda)

    Summary

    He wanted to hate the piano.

    But what he discovered instead was magic - not the kind his mother used to throw curses at him and Regulus. This was different. When his fingers flew over the keys, he felt like he was soaring through the air too, leaving Grimmauld Place’s suffocating walls far below, if only for the length of a song.

    Sirius and Remus are staying with James for Christmas. Sirius loves playing the piano.

    Summary

    To love is to trust and somewhere along the way they had decided to trust each other with everything they had - all the closely-held secrets and half-finished thoughts they’d carried within themselves for years, never thinking they would find someone to share them with.

    Sirius doesn't want to burden Remus with his problems. Remus reassures him.

    Summary

    Always using the map is cheating, in Sirius's opinion. It's necessary for complex operations, where they have to perform more advanced magic and can't afford to be looking over their shoulders every few seconds.

     

    But where's the fun in sneaking out after curfew if you always know where everyone is?

     

    Their plan was to get hot chocolate. The broom cupboard gods had other plans.

    Summary

    He's never felt more at peace than in Moony's bed, tangled up in the boy's arms, curtains shut, creating their own little love-filled planet - warm, safe, happy -, all worries left outside, somewhere in classrooms and corridors, light years away.

    Sirius and Remus reunite after a summer apart. They just want to get to Hogwarts.

    Summary

    Gazing over the peaks in the distance, his head clears a bit, breaths come easier. The fears are still there, Remus suspects they will be there for years to come. The war is here, after all. But at least he doesn't feel like he's suffocating under the pressure of it all.

    Just a short little one-shot I wrote for the prompt "Mountains".
