can we get a sneak peak at this mermaid fic?

this has been sitting in my inbox for weeks and i'm finally answering it bc i've been talking to @kaaaaaaarf about this fic and i'm so excited lol

as a reminder, in this fic remus is a freshwater mermaid who lives in the lake that sirius just moved next door to <3

hera ya go:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The first thing Sirius Black thinks when he walks onto his new property for the first time is that the listing didn’t mention anything about a lake.

It’s barely visible from the front door of his cottage, just a shimmering line in the distance - down a rolling, picturesque hill covered in wildflowers and grass that doesn’t seem to have even been trimmed in a decade. 

Sirius stares at it for a long time - there are honest to god songbirds trilling at each other from the branches of towering trees, butterflies weaving in and out of the weeds. It really is beautiful enough to be on a postcard, or at the very least included in the property photos he’s been dreaming about for the last six months leading up to this move. 

“Pads? Did you drop me again?” 

James’ tinny voice is so loud out here in the open, even from a tiny rectangle in the corner of Sirius’s phone. 

“No, fuck - sorry, i just. Look at this shit.”

Sirius flips the camera and moves the phone in a long, slow 180 turn.

“Fuck me, is that a bunny rabbit?” 

There’s a slight lag as video-James pushes his glasses up, looking delighted.

“What the fuck am I supposed to do with all this?” Sirius flips the camera back around and gestures at the scenery, weak-voiced, “I didn’t know there would be creatures.”

From the background Lily scoffs, “A rabbit is not a creature, it’s an adorable little friend.”

“Well it’s all very whimsical, isn’t it?” James says, talking over her laughter and Sirius’ exasperated groan.  “The - you know.  Nature and all. I thought a fresh country breeze is what you were looking for.”

“What I was looking for is a quiet cottage with a small yard a reasonable distance from an equally small town, which - if you remember - is what I was led to believe I’d bought.”

I don't have a favourite marauders era character. I love remus and all non-remus characters equally.

I have a creeping suspicion some of you guys are not taking "idk man sometimes it depends" to heart

[kaaaaaaarf]

My taste in romance has less to do with how romantic the relationship actually is (though that is a bonus) and more to do with how interesting I find the dynamic between the couple. Which is why fluffy vanilla romance usually bores the hell out of me. I want to see how these characters dramatically affect each other and fundamentally change each other and their individual understandings of the world!!! I want to see a beautiful tie-in between the romance and the themes + messages of the story and how it all builds to a climax!!!
