    Summary

    The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.

    Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding. In contrast, the life of Timothy Drake’s live-in house-husband is looking more appealing by the second.

    Summary

    Written in November 2006 for the Remix Redux challenge. I remixed a story by starrysummer entitled 'But The Liquor Was Clean.'

    Summary

    Regulus Black - recently disowned and fresh out of Hogwarts - reluctantly attends a wedding at his brother's behest. In attendance is one Remus Lupin, with whom Regulus has been a little infatuated by for years.

    Chaos ensues.

     

    Excerpt:

    Quickly, he drops down into a crouch and runs his hands down Remus’ t-shirt. From the top of his shoulders to the waistband of his jeans.

    Remus grimaces and lifts a hand to push Regulus back by his face. Regulus smiles into his palm, voice muffled, “They’re dry.”

    “You’re awful,” Remus says with a chuckle. Regulus digs his hand under Remus’ back until he locates the book. Remus snatches it out of his hand and playfully swats the side of his head with it. It doesn’t hurt. He grabs Remus’ wrist in an attempt to wrangle the book out of his hand, but Remus opts to throw the book to the side in favour of grabbing Regulus by both of his wrists and pushing him over until he’s lying on his back, his wrists pressed into the ground either side of his head.

    “You keep surprising me,” Remus says, voice low. The sun hovers behind his head like a halo, or a ring of fire. Regulus would reach out and run a hand through his soft curls, if he was able to move.

    Summary

    If someone had cornered 15 year-old Draco and tried to convince him that, in a decade’s time, he would be residing in a flat in Muggle West London, working part-time as a florist, and tending to an aloof but affectionate cat that he would without a doubt lay his life on the line for, he would have guffawed, called them a befitting slur and then wandered off, still laughing maniacally.

    Post-Hogwarts, Muggle London. Draco adopts a cat. Harry is … well, he’s Harry Potter, Saviour of the Wizarding World. He’s a bit bored, though, all things considered.

    Summary

    The Dementor finds him again. It always does. Remus feels it before he sees it.

    “You’re not my friend,” he tells it.

     The Dementor does nothing, says nothing. Remus expected nothing less, because what else would happen? He’s approaching as mad as Sirius Black, if he thinks he’ll get a reply from a loosely held together mass of soul and despair.

     1993. Remus Lupin has enough ghosts and spectres following him around the castle, without a Dementor following him as well.

    James. Lily. Peter. Black has escaped from Azkaban, and shouldn’t Remus say something about that? And the other Black. Regulus.

    It isn’t any surprise the Dementor is interested in him.
