    Summary

    “Are you a godly man, Doctor Sims?”

    “I don’t think I can answer that question in a way that matters.”

    “Rest assured I don’t expect that.”

    Quiet.

    “I believe…” he starts, then stops to breathe in, deeply. Just to stall, just to think, just to avoid Father Lucas’s attentive gaze, he takes a drag off his cigarette “I believe in people. On the best of people. On their worst, too. But it’s very difficult to be surrounded by dying men in a tent that smells of stale blood and gunpowder and believe there’s someone up there looking out for us.”

    And he can see them now. Clutching their rosaries, calling out to their mothers, to their gods, to their long lost lovers. He can see them while the nurses held hands that would inevitably grow still and he could see himself, the only one with the responsibility to change their fate, useless in the centre of it.


    --

    In 1950s Poplar, a group of nuns and nurses carry the health of the neighbourhood on their shoulders.
    Amongst deaths and births, a lonely doctor meets a conflicted priest.

    Summary

    a relationship in seasons.

     

    She wants she wants she wants to move Dorcas’s hand higher and press it between her thighs, pull Dorcas in and let their lips touch. It doesn’t even have to be a full kiss. She would take the suggestion of a kiss, the ghost of one, the memory of one. From Dorcas, she would take anything and beg for more, knowing girls like Marlene are born wanting and are never allowed girls like Dorcas.
    Marlene is warm. Submerged. She fell in love with Dorcas so quickly every day now feels like remembering, like coming home.
    Girls like Marlene are born wanting.

    Summary

    "Okay, so you lose a little convenience," Kojiro tries, taking the pep-talk approach. "Plug in a lamp, light some candles. That's not too bad, right? Cozy, even," he assures him, plopping down on Kaoru's stiff designer couch. "And hey, you've got your backup phone, and your computers still work, and—"

    "Have you considered," Kaoru interrupts, "That this isn't about convenience?"

    In which Carla stops working, and Kaoru comes unglued.

    Guillermo studies the children's quiz on the back of the box.

    "And how is that going?"

    "I'll need a little longer in this establishment."

     

    Or:
    Guillermo and Nandor hit the road. They try to talk about their feelings.

    "Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.

    "Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"

    "What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

    Summary

    Just as he was about to close the door, there was a very distinctive woof that came from about knee height.

     

    Remus looked down at the shaggy black dog, and imploring puppy dog eyes met tired brown ones.

     

    “Oh,” Remus said out loud.

     

    In which Sirius lies low at Lupin's and it is easy to fall back in love.

    Summary

    Remus sighs and runs a hand over his face, pressing in a little like it might relieve some of his tension headache. “For the last time,” he says, though he knows it’s useless. Sirius used to do things over and over again after ‘the last time’ just to spite him. “You are not sleeping on the floor.”

    “I really don’t mind,” he says, like somehow Remus is only saying all of this out of a sense of propriety, one Sirius is all too happy to release him from. “I already told you, I’ll just shift into Padfoot and find somewhere—you know, if you’re really so worried, you could give me a blanket to lay on, that would be—”

    “No,” Remus says, a tad too forcefully. But the idea of giving Sirius a blanket and laying it on some worn bit of floor, then fucking off to sleep in his actual bed (no matter how thin the mattress may be), makes his stomach twist uncomfortably. It’s not an option. It doesn’t matter how normal it’s become for Sirius, it doesn’t matter that some small part of him still revolts against the idea of Sirius being innocent.

    Summary

    Seventh year and wanting. It's hard finding a way to each other when they've all been here for years.

    “Do you know -?” James whispers and can’t meet their eyes.
    “Yes,” Sirius says immediately, no hesitation.
    “I –“ Remus cuts off. Swallows. James’s fingers follow the motion, fragile. “I don’t.”

    Summary

    Songwriting pair James Potter and Sirius Black are a skilled duo with mad charisma, the writer had expostulated, and their switching off guitar and drum duties builds a sense of camaraderie that put a smile on this writer’s face. But Marauders’ guitarist Remus Lupin (yes, I’ve been assured that is his real name) is the band’s most technically skilled musician — and their secret weapon.

    Summary

    He’s a tall bloke, easily has five inches on both of them, with long legs and long arms. James reckons he’s gay, but Sirius isn’t so sure. Can people tell you’re gay just by looking at you? The way he stands reminds him of Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer by Freidrich even though there’s no cane or flowing overcoat, only curly brown hair and a flash of amber in his eyes under the bar-lights. It’s like if people were art movements, James is Renaissance, Sirius is Baroque and this guy’s Romantic. And Peter – he’s fucking medieval, like those ugly homuncular babies by Bellini.
     

    Sirius isn't too keen on going to university, but he follows James up to Edinburgh anyway. Remus returns for second year, only mildly upset that he has to live with a bunch of freshers. Lily wonders if it's sad that she's still a virgin at the age of nineteen. Peter elects to study French because it's probably all he's good for.

Sure, they’re fun every once in a while with her sister, but good god, she can’t stand dealing with randoms who don’t know the heal priority.
