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.

erm. you writed mah otp. *squees*

and it be'eth sooo pretty.

by which i mean desperate, dirty, and oh-so-hawt.

thanks.

I am happy to have returned the favor then! :) I actually wish it were these two that were chattering away in my head but its not. Its those other two.

They're all pretty.
