do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?

Every Love and Each Regret Part 1, Chapter 2
PG-13 for language (naughty Sirius)
Still mostly one-sided shippiness at the moment. We're getting there though.
I'll hopefully be updatng this fairly regularly from next week onwards.

( I fell in love with your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes )

So, this is my new series! I've been working on it for a while, and have a master page where fics will be added as they're completed.
You can also go play guess the lyric there if you're so inclined.
This chapter PG for language.
I don't own them, and I'm not pretending to, not the songs or the characters.
Lyrics from Amy Winehouse's Amy, Amy, Amy

First up, Part 1 Chapter 1.

( the way the shirt hangs off his back, my train of thought gets right off track )

Series: Grown-Up Things (complete)
Chapter: Babies (3/3)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Everyone has to grow up sometime. Guess what? Fluff!
Notes: My friends are all having babies and applying for mortgages and getting grown up jobs. This is, naturally, v. unsettling, and I like to spread it around via fic. Also, I know it says that this is the last one, and that was my intention, but I’ve since realised I have more fics set before and after this that would fit quite well, so I may add to this.

( Babies )

Oiii, I am the world's worst updater. In my defence, I claim a new job, and hideous amounts of research taking up all my free time. So, in place of what I'm actually meant to be working on, I bring this. The first part of a (completed) three parter. ps, I will be using ths icon all over the place from now on - I live in England, have just seen the lastlastlast episode, and am entering the mourning process...now.

Series: Grown-Up Things
Chapter: Proposals (1/3)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Everyone has to grow up sometime. Fluff, fluff, glorious fluff!
Notes: My friends are all having babies and applying for mortgages and getting grown up jobs. This is, naturally, v. unsettling, and I like to spread it around via fic.

>>part 2

Title: Just Sex (1/1)
Rating: NC-17
Characters: Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Peter, Frank Longbottom (R/S, J/L)
Summary: Strangeness begets strangeness, and the next thing you know you're in bed with your best friend and it's a million miles from 'just sex'. 1st war era.
Notes: If this fic had a soundtrack, it would be 'Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong' by Radiohead. Just so you know. In my head, that is the James/Lily song, and when I started this, I sort of intended to carry it on with more of a James/Lily focus. I might still do at some point, but who knows.
Words: 5000ish

( Just Sex )

Title: Trust (8/?)
Pairing: Remus/Sirius. James/Lily. Well, almost. This fic is apparently all about the baby steps.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: I guess they're technically underage but as they're not having sex, does that matter? Anyway, if even half of what my foster brother told me about boarding school is true, this is tame. Tame.
Notes: I haven't actually read the books in a while and it's possible I've screwed up the timing a little. If that is so we'll call it an AU ;) No beta, so all mistakes are entirely my own.
Disclaimer: Absolutely, totally not mine, and I'm not trying to say they are. Just for giggles.
