#febficaday2 - Day 23 (AUs)

Author: Athenowl Rating: Mature Word Count: 2,987 Type: Modern, Cowboy AU

Summary: “Sirius Black, were you about to break my window just to get my attention at—” He ducked inside again to check the clock. “--ass o’clock in the morning?”

“Come down here and I’ll tell you.”

“My parents are asleep.”

“You’re twenty-three,” Sirius said in the same tone of false sympathy, though his grin didn’t falter as he stuck his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels. “C’mon, I’ll be by the fence.”

Remus shook his head. His parents were dead asleep. Up until four minutes prior, he had been dead asleep, and quite comfortably so. There was shit to do in the morning, and if he wasn’t under his own sheets soon to get ready for work instead of snuggled up in Sirius Cocky Bastard Black’s bed, the stockroom inventory he had promised his mother would get done would be set back ages. “Give me five minutes.”

#febficaday2 - Day 7 (Holidays)

Summary: Sirius had put his hand under Remus’s chin and kissed him gently on the mouth as though they had done it a million times before. “See you next week.” Just like that.

That week between Christmas and New Year’s always feels a little disorienting, with no real attention paid to the exact time or the day of the week. But for Remus, with hardly a word between them while Sirius was upstate with the Potters and Lily, it was dizzying.

Trigger/Content Info: alcohol use, marijuana use, cigarettes, non-explicit sex. There's a scene describing the support of friends/professionals after a sexual assault. No details about the assault are given and it's not brought up during/in the context of sex. The scene is marked out in italics so you can skip it.

Summary: When Remus witnesses a disturbing event walking home one night, it sends him down a twisted path of many discoveries: secret societies, macabre rituals, cloaked figures, and a dark-haired boy who proves to be the most dangerous of all.

Summary: Somewhere in the south of England, 2002. It's the first summer after first year at university, and Sirius, Remus, and James are headed to a gig at their local hellhole... literally. With a little help from some infernal intervention, can Sirius and Remus finally admit their feelings?

A story about gigs in the middle of nowhere, possessed CDs found in the woods, ancient PC crunching noises, and saying to hell with it when it comes to matters of the heart.

Summary: Unthinkingly, he found himself reaching out to lightly trail the fingers of his right hand over the black and white keys of the piano; perhaps he had expected to find them still warm, or did so in some wild hope that they might convey to him their secrets through some magic or apparition. But they were cold, and told him nothing of what had just passed there, and Remus blinked down at them from behind his wire-rimmed glasses, and frowned.

"Very interesting."

Remus spends his summer at a crumbling country manor, unravelling its mysteries and discovering old-forgotten secrets within its tapestried walls.

#curiosityfest - day 5

Summary: A finger traces one of the lines on his palm, making him jump. The boy pays it no mind, saying, “This is your happiness line. It starts a little late but coincides with the beginning of your love line here.” He presses down on the line parallel to it. Remus’ pulse jumps. “You’re not in love, are you?” he asks abruptly.

I think I’m about to be, Remus thinks absurdly.

(Alternatively: Remus, a sceptic, goes to get his palm read by a fortune teller. Panic ensues.)
