Winter Fests and Exchanges

I realize this is probably a crazy thing to be thinking about in the middle of summer, but... [livejournal.com profile] harry_holidays  sign ups are going on now, which is why I thought of it. So...... what are my options, guys? What winter fests are you doing? I know that I'll be doing something for [livejournal.com profile] daily_deviant  and [livejournal.com profile] rs_small_gifts  and I've been toying with the idea of [livejournal.com profile] hp_yule_balls , but I don't know what else is out there to choose from. I promised myself that I would not load myself down with fest fics this year but come September I won't have anything to write about and I will have missed the sign ups. I suspect this will make me whiny. When do sign ups for [livejournal.com profile] rs_small_gifts  start? Couldn't I have either the [livejournal.com profile] harry_holidays  or [livejournal.com profile] hp_yule_balls (I am NOT NOT NOT doing both) fic wrapped up before sign ups for [livejournal.com profile] rs_small_gifts  even got off the ground? Same for [livejournal.com profile] daily_deviant . Ack. Are there any other Remus/Sirius fests? Oh, oh! There is [livejournal.com profile] brighty18 's fest, isn't there? I didn't do it last year because I was swamped at work.


Oh, oh, oh! Speaking of which. I ran across something today! [livejournal.com profile] crack_broom  is hazardous for my writing. I end up reading pairings I don't even like. And worse! No Sirius! *gasps*

Anyway, over at [livejournal.com profile] lupin_snape  (don't ask me why I was reading there, I don't even like the pairing) they have a remix challenge just for that pairing. Why doesn't Remus/Sirius have that (does not want to mod another fest, does not want to mod another fest, does not want to mod another fest)? Remus/Sirius should totally have that. Someone needs to get on that pronto. Not me.

Will you do me a big favor?!

I owe you Remus Sirius fic and am doing a meme where no one asked for Harry Potter fandom so could you give me a couple of one word prompts and I will write those for you tonight while I am on a roll. Yes? Me write you fic like I promised long ago!

[identity profile] ceredwensirius.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't I kinda forget to write yours too, though? Okay, give me a pairing and a prompt and I will write you a drabble too.

Here are a few words, choose as you will.

mischief
lonely
gardenia
Majorca

Oh... I like these!

Well mine will each only be 30 words. You don't have to write me anything at all... especially not of the 100 word length when I am using you to fuel my muse :D

(Only because you asked, and I deny my friends nothing. XD Remus/Sirius insane, Sirius/Hermione putrid)

[identity profile] ceredwensirius.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I do not have that kind of discipline. Will you take 41 words?

Dark hair fans over cream-coloured pillows, an ebony halo around an angelic face, body perfect and still in slumber, and Remus wonders how this man, alive with a manic, insane energy while awake, could be so peaceful and innocent when sleeping.

I love it! It's so gorgeously them!

Thank YOU!

Uhm... Yeah... any words you'd like to give me, I'll take.

Sirius paused in the doorway to the basement potions laboratory, wrinkling his nose at the putrid smelll coming from Hermione's cauldron; he lounged against the door, and gave a petulant huff because Hermione had, as yet, not recognized his presence.

"Don't give me that, Sirius Black," she said, not looking up from her work. "You know what happened the last time you brewed this potion."

From another room, a baby starts to wail.

AHHH! I didn't even think of them together at that moment as intimately as you have them until the last sentence. Brilliant characterization and build up with so little words. :D

I like!

Guilty Faces

[identity profile] sabriel75.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mischief-makers, the Marauders are, but when the lights go out; it’s Remus arching up and grinding against Sirius that makes them unable to meet each other’s eyes in the mornings.

Ah, lovely, love the guilt. It is that in between time, before boys become men. I love it!

Lonely Heart

[identity profile] sabriel75.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Remus knew making friends was dangerous. What he never expected though was to feel so alone, so cut off when he realized his friends could never know him fully.

Re: Lonely Heart

Oh, poor thing, I just ache for him here. I see a young Remus here who hasn't shared any part of his secret, but he can't ever fully share what is in him, can he? Oh, poor love.

Thank you!

Thoughts of Gardenia

[identity profile] sabriel75.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
There are 142 species of the plant Remus is pruning. And Sirius wonders, not for the first time, how come when Remus spouts out unnecessary information, it lodges in his brain.

Re: Thoughts of Gardenia

You are a doll to use so many of the prompts.

I love this because it says a lot about what Remus means to Sirius, that this useless bit of trivia (useless to Sirius who is not pruning) stays with him because Remus is important to Sirius, therefore what is important to Remus is important to Sirius. You packed a lot in there, very nicely done.

And thank you!

In Need of Something

[identity profile] sabriel75.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
“It’s only a week!” Sirius crosses his arms and prepares his arguments when Remus does a three-sixty on him. “Majorca, really? Overcompensating for anything, Sirius?”

Re: In Need of Something

Ahahahaha! Nice come back, Remus! I love it!

Thank you!

So happy you let me write fic for you tonight. It really helped to spur me on. I've been in such a slump lately.

Glad you enjoyed it and finally I did write you something, and it reached drabble proportions.

[identity profile] ceredwensirius.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Me too! I really enjoyed them and let me say how impressed I am at how fast you turn out such lovely drabbles. So impressed by that!

And I enjoyed writing for you too! This was lots of fun!
