#song for the summer

✨WIP Wednesday✨

I've been working on this one fic on and off 18 months or so now and I think I may be getting to the point where I am almost ready to post it (eternal battle with myself about whether to wait until it's all drafted or start posting soon and risk abandoning it like every other multichapter fic I've tried to write) BUT the more little bits I post along the way, the longer my motivation lasts sjssksks

2nd August

Moony, It's been weeks since any of us heard from you and I'm getting really worried. I never thought I’d say this, but I really hope you’re mad at me. I keep trying to remember if I did something to upset you but I can’t think of anything. Just let me know what I did so I can figure out how to fix it.  Please tell me what's wrong and that you’re okay.  I miss you. Yours, Padfoot

Sirius makes sure the letter is safely secured in Dilly’s talons, gives her half a Weetabix for the journey. “You get the other half after you make sure Remus gets that,” he explains.

She twits at him in agreement, like she understands the importance of the task at hand. Sirius isn’t sure if the Potter’s owl is actually well trained enough to fully comprehend his instruction, or if she's just learnt to recognise that Sirius always gives her treats before and after sending her out on a delivery.

She spreads her wings wide in the late morning sun - a magnificent display as she bats them in the wind, building up power before taking to the sky.

There’s a bustling from inside the house, doors opening and closing, low chatter that Sirius can’t make out. He waits on the back doorstep, watching until Dilly is a distant dot in the sky before he finally steps back inside.

James is sitting at the kitchen table, confusion etched on his face as he glances cautiously between Sirius and his mum who stands in the middle of the room looking, well. Sirius would say her expression is frantic except Effie doesn’t get frantic. She is steadfast in logic and composure, ever the voice of reason. Calm and collected no matter what the crisis at hand might be. 

“Oh good, you’re here,” Effie says as Sirius joins them, although her expression says it’s anything but good news. Her face is flushed, brows drawn in concern. “I’ve just been talking to Remus’ mum.”

And Sirius feels his heart drop.

Whereabouts do you live, roughly speaking, and what drew you to that place in particular?

I'm in Michigan, and that's as specifically as I will answer that question! We have really lethal lakes.

Someone asked for Roxy drinking a rum and coke, and being disgusted, but then I started playing dolls with it. Maybe that’s where they were sleeping. All this time. Who knows really.

I love this video from 5 years ago today because among other bird calls faintly in the background you can hear a black-billed cuckoo, a bird I rarely hear.

✨Six Sentence Sunday✨

It was very hard to narrow this down to just six sentences (arguabley seven but shush) I'm having so much fun writing this chapter!! This from from my slow burn, slightly AU hogwarts era wip. Working title is 'Song for the Summer' and this will be from around chapter 5/6. (make current word count for the whole fic is about 34k which is an inance amount for me! And I'm probably only about one third done!)

When they make it back to the dorm, Remus perches on the edge of his bed, awkwardly like he doesn’t quite feel like he belongs. Sirius flops next to him, then rolls over onto his back so he’s looking up at Remus and forcing their bodies into closer proximity. It’s nice having him back - of course it’s felt off and different over the last few months without him - but seeing Remus here again, back in their dorm again, just exacerbates how much having him close feels like home. 

“I like you here,” Sirius blurts out.

“You like me here?” Remus repeats, eyebrows raising and lips quirking in amusement. 

“Being here, at school, with us,” he clarifies, “I like you being back.”
