#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’m running the same poll on twitter - tell me which wip to focus on bc I’m struggling to write atm!!!

~Elaboration of each idea under cut~

Sequel to Book Shops and Floo Powder.

I left the ending very heavily implying wolfstar get to together, but in the sequel we explicitly see what happens next. Including meeting the parent (singular), more Sirius backstory, museum dates

Sweet Dreams of Holly and Ribbon sequel

Regulus is hosting a nye party for a few friends, including Sirius and his boyfriend who Regulus is meeting for the first. (Plus Teddy and some side Dorlene)

Canon Divergent AU

An AU I’ve been working on and off for literal years. Remus doesn’t get bitten until he’s a teenager. Long fic but I want to have the majority of it drafted before I start posting. I have the the whole plot mapped out and 30-50% drafted (snippets posted on here before tagged as ‘song for the summer)

Dog walker AU

Remus needs someone to walk his dog while recovering from surgery. Sirius is available. Guaranteed smut. Expansion of a micro fic I wrote a while back

Crooked Man/role reversal AU

Inspired by Sherlock Holmes and the adventure of the crooked man. Remus is killed in action during the first wizard in war, or was he? Feat. DADA professor Sirius and Jily surviving

Starless Sea AU

Very loosely inspired by the book. Muggle AU with magical/fantasy elements. Remus is just trying to live his his life but keeps slipping through the cracks of reality into another realm. Another long fic but I only have loose idea of where I want it to go

Comfort Fest fic

No Voldemort AU, series of moments following key moments in Sirius and Remus’ developing relationship. 4-8 chapters, each inspired by a different prompt

Supernatural AU

Based on the first werewolf episode back in season 1 or 2 of SPN. James and Sirius are hunters investigating a string of gruesome murder. Remus is the cute barrista Sirius keeps flirting with (snippets posted on here before tagged as ‘don’t fear the reaper)

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.
