Title: It's Not Just Jokes and Chocolate
Rating: R for innuendo
Word Count: 100
Prompt: Hogsmeade & 'envy' for 100 Quills
Summary: Remus hates Hogsmeade.
Disclaimer: Still not mine & not profiting.
Notes: I don't think this is one of my better drabbles, but c'est la vie. Apparently now is the winter of writing angsty RS fics.

Remus hates Hogsmeade.

It's not the place he finds offensive, but what it means when people are going to Hogsmeade together.

After much effort James is finally going with Lily, Peter with Julie, and Sirius had been to Hogsmeade with over a dozen girls – even, memorably, two on a single day.

Being abandoned thusly by one's friends is more than a fellow should have to put up with, Remus thinks, as he watches their labelled dots on the Marauders Map leave the castle.

Especially since Sirius goes to Hogsmeade – metaphorically that is, because he won't acknowledge it publicly – with Remus.

Title: This Act of Translation
Rating: R
Pairing(s): Remus/Sirius (with brief Remus/original female character & hints of other het pairings)
Summary: In which James devises yet another complex plan to get laid, Remus makes out with the wrong person and Sirius lays an ambush in the Prefect's bathroom.

Author's Notes: The request included school uniforms, first time, biting & wall!sex, so I tried to tick plenty of boxes ;-). Many, many thanks to x_merlin and nathaniel_hp  for beta-ing this fic. It's also for my 100 Quills prompt "Temptation".

Apologies to the f-list for today's fic dump. And another reminder to tell me what to write next.

Warnings: Warning for sexually explicit content.

Title: Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: social class differences
Summary: Four winters in Remus' life, told backwards.
Warnings: swearing, Muggle politics.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters & make no profit from writing about them.
Notes: Written for rose71  's prompt  "social class differences". At the end there's a slightly spoilery explanation of the historical context & slang for those unacquainted with the political history of the UK. With thanks to my betas nathaniel_hp & x_merlin , to Billy Bragg for the title (well, the song), and to trade unionists who not only brought us the weekend but have taught me a lot over the years. Er, I might have gone overboard with the prompt *looks sheepish*. Finally, this is also for my 100 Quills prompt "winter".

This was the first of two fics I wrote for this year's RS Small Gifts exchange. Read it at that community or...

Title: Downhill from Here
Author: Woldy
Rating: PG-13 (for swearing)
Pairing: Sirius/James, Remus/Sirius, Lily/James
Prompt: 'Hollow' for 100 Quills
Wordcount: 100
Warnings: swearing, angst, spoilers for the prequel (does that even make sense as a concept?), unorthodox grammar
Disclaimer: These characters all belong to Jo.

I've been repeatedly ambushed by drabble bunnies recently. I'm in the middle of something and then wham it's thirty minutes later, I've written a drabble & work has gone by the wayside. Still, this is my first Sirius/James fic & it was fun to write. Poor Remus.


The difficulty with Sirius fucking James is that there's no good way for it to end.

Sirius has Remus, James has Lily, and they're best mates. It's all downhill from here.

At Hogwarts things between them were nearly but not quite, but now it indubitably, inescapably is. Is sexual. Nobody could attribute this to friendship.

Touching James is like being fifteen again, wild and reckless. It's no coincidence that they first fucked after fleeing Death Eaters and policemen by motorbike.

The shakily written note from Remus reads, "I'm leaving because of the lying, not the sex."

Remus never comes back.

I signed up for this a while back & it's taken me some time to get started. However, finally, here's the prompt table. I have a bunch of work to do in completing it, so watch this space for more Remus/Sirius I guess!

Title: Chosen family or 'I'm looking at you, Proposition 8'
Author: Woldy
Rating: PG (for swearing) 
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Prompt: family (& 'smile' for 100 quills)
Word count: 100


The problem wasn't that Sirius lacked a family, the problem was they were poisonous bastards who thought blood and money were all that mattered.

Fuck them. Nuclear families were bullshit. The only family that mattered were the ones you chose yourself – friends, lovers, carers if you were caught by a bad curse.

Sirius wished he were excited for James and Lily, but in truth he figured any institution that excluded gays was not an institution worth preserving.

"Ready, Pads? Got the ring?"

Sirius glanced at Moony who was smiling, spectacularly handsome in tails.

"Yeah," he said, stifling resentment. "Let's go."

Title: Horoscopes and how they caused the Plague of Frogs 
Author: Woldy 
Rating: R 
Summary: This is the story of the most improbable job Remus ever had, the Chocolate Frog Plague of 1980 and, incidentally, how he first kissed Sirius.
Warnings: Absurdity and explicit boysex
Disclaimer: Not mine & not profiting
Notes: Written for the second round of the R/S Games, in the humour & romance genres. The prompt was "Gemini (May 21 -- June 21) - It's time to act against your natural character and inclination. You need to display all the qualities you don't believe you have. With the right changes, you'll attract the luck you need when it means the most."
Credits: Many thanks to Team Post-Hogwarts, to the R/S Games mods & to MaraudersAffair for beta-ing. This fic was inspired by the wonderful (alas now retired) astrologer Psychic Psmith.

There haven't been many fics posted here of late, which is partly because I've been working on 2 fics for the Remus/Sirius Games , which has been great fun. Since the reveals for Round 1 are now up, I can provide the details of my entry:

Title: Friction
Author: Woldy
Prompt: Work
Word Count: 100
Disclaimer: The boys don't belong to me & I derive only enjoyment from using them.
Author notes: Unorthodox grammar, but it's intended as a train of consciousness. I hope it makes sense!
Comments: Appreciated muchly.

Sirius was never easy.

Brilliant, passionate, inspired – yes; but never easy.

A relationship with Sirius was, well, hard work.

Work, Remus thinks (remembering the physics textbooks littering their house, his dad’s patient explanations over toys) is when a force acts upon an object, causing it to move.

Sirius is a high friction surface: achieving any movement or compromise is difficult and there’s a constant danger of sparks.

Remus fears someday he will cease to move Sirius at all, or that Sirius will catch flame. Or worse, he may be pushed too far, beyond reach, falling, falling…


"Two people together is work
heroic in its ordinariness,
the slow-picked, halting traverse of a pitch
where the fiercest attention becomes routine
-look at the faces of those who have chosen it."
Adrienne Rich Twenty One Love Poems

I was in the midst of editing a serious, academic thingy when the idea for a Sirius/Remus Scrabble Drabble sprung upon me. Looking back at that sentence, it is clear that too much editing addles the brain. In any case, here's the result. It's not BETA-d, so I apologise for any glaring mistakes.

Title: Ill-ovoo
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: G
Words: 200
Summary: Sometimes you don't have to get the spelling right
Warnings: Fluffy enough that it might set off your allergies
Disclaimer: These boys belong to Jo.

Scrabble was Remus’ favourite game.

This was partly because Remus liked words, but mostly because Scrabble was one of few games without any explosions, nasty squirting goo, or some other form of noise, mess or violence. Remus didn’t object to noise, mess or violence per se – he was a Marauder after all – but he preferred them to take more imaginative forms.

Also, you couldn’t play those sorts of games in the hospital wing, which was where Remus and Sirius were currently sitting. The board, so far, consisted largely of four letter words. Sirius didn’t seem to be trying very hard.

“Get on with it Padfoot,” Remus said, watching Sirius frown at his collection of letters.

“These are lousy letters,” Sirius mumbled.

“Chuck ‘em back, then.”

After a pause, Sirius intersected the tiles LOVU with the I of an existing word.

“Ill-ovoo?” Remus said, reaching for the dictionary. “Surely that isn’t-”

Remus stopped and re-read the letters. He glanced up at Sirius, who was staring fixedly at the table.

“You’ve spelled it wrong,” Remus said. He added the E, O and Y tiles, then reached out to brush Sirius’ fingers.

Sirius looked up. His smile was like the sun coming out.

Being an avid HP fanfic reader, I set up this LJ so that I could comment on other people's fic. But then I found that occasional plot bunnies would jump into my head, and sometimes I would frenziedly scribble a story for my own amusement. This fic was the product of such a plot bunny attack, sometime in April 2007. It was written pre-DH but is DH compliant.
