Author's Notes: Written for the Harry Uncanon Drabble-a-thon meme here: http://community.livejournal.com/karmicsunshine/23806.html. I accepted woldy's prompt which as James/Sirius; adrenaline and firewhiskey



They were celebrating, just James and Sirius, when curses began flying across the Muggle pub.

"What the-" Sirius has just downed another shot of firewhisky and clambored to his feet, swaying unsteadily.

"Come on," says James irritably. "I won't be a father for long if we stick around.

When they make it to safety, the nearness of death grips them both. There is a need of a more carefree time, a time of boyhood and innocence.

Which doesn't come easily in an alley that stinks of retch and piss while hiding from Death Eaters, but somehow they manage.

This was gut-punching perfect.

I love the desperate atmosphere, the hint that they are intimate with each other (I, of course, imagine desperate to-the-wall fucking) to fight off the nearness of death.

Good job! Thank you for sharing. :-)

Well, I'm not shy about writing smut, and would have written out the desperate to-the-wall fucking except I was restricted to a word limit.

This was gut-punching perfect.
Thank you SO much.

I'm not even sure if the desperate to-the-wall fucking would have been better when written out. Well, there is a sort of story that can do that and succeed. But in this drabble, I like that you just hinted at it in the shortest possible way. It's much more poignant that way, when we don't get to see the smut.
