#because it was a very very good canon-compliant(ish) dorlene story

[tripably]

I've been going on biweekly, week-long worktrips for two months now, and I mostly hate it, but I'm trying to be a good lil soldier so let me list some good things about it to make it feel less bad:

We travel by boat, and the one that gets us back home is called Sirius <3 And sometimes the travel day falls on a full moon<3

Another thing about those ships: they have these hanging egg-shaped lounge-type chairs on the deck, and sitting in one on the journey home is honestly healing

I very seldom can find it in me to read during those work weeks (the days are long and I don't have the energy to even think about commenting after work, and I don't want to skip on that), which means I currently always have pieces of fanfiction waiting for me when I get back <3

There's this one cashier in one supermarket who's so gorgeous I can't even get my words out when I end up on her queue. It's honestly very embarrassing but hopefully she just regards me as another tourist rather than a creep.

I share that crush with one of the three coworkers I travel with, and bonding over a shared crush makes me feel like I'm 10 years old and have no worries in the world <3

Spring comes a bit earlier there but the nature is otherwise the same so weather-wise it feels like home but a little bit better

On our way towards the harbour on the leaving day, we always go to eat at this one restaurant chain that doesn't exist in Finland - fast food but make it thai <3

They serve delicious pink long drinks on the ship

The travel compensation's fine I guess

AO3 Highlighted Fics

Dead to Me [playlist] [tag] - 91,625 words - jily, angst, hurt/comfort

I saw a quote once that said: "How many times have I loved a thing, just because you loved it? Including me." This story is about love, but is not to be confused with a love story. It's about the love we should have had. The love we don't think we deserve. The crooked love we settle for. It is about how, in letting others love us, we learn to love ourselves.

Call and Response - 6,685 words - first war, hurt/comfort, minor jily

A series of vignettes showcasing how, despite his own personal tragedies, James Potter never fails to show up for the ones he loves – which might be his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. Set in a world where James and Lily never got together in school, the Marauders, now twenty, are fighting in the Order at the height of the war. Consider this my love letter to James “would have died rather than betray his friends,” “would have regarded it the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends,” “until the very end” Potter.

Bring Your Kid to Work Day(s Never End When Your Godfather is Sirius Black) - 2,012 words - good godfather sirius black

Written for Good Godfather Sirius Black Fest. Day 11, prompt: bring your kid to work day.

Just This Once - 6,196 words - jily, muggle au, gratuitous smut
