Fic; 20 Random Facts About Sirius Black (As Told By James Potter); PG-13

Hey, so, I know I was like "Send me prompts!" and then I never answered any of them. But I'm GONNA, I just, there was this plotbunny, it ATTACKED me. Viciously and involving its teeth. But, anyway, um. It'll be done at...some time. Soonish? I hope.

Aaaand I did one of those 20 Random Things memes as a writing exercise yesterday, because I couldn't get James' voice right. And here it is, because I feel guilty about how long this stupid fic is taking me to finish. Happy *insert winter celebration here*, everyone!

Title: 20 Random Facts About Sirius Black (As Told By James Potter)
Rating: PG-13? Some discussion of tequila and nipples, some swearing.
Summary: No, you can't have a summary. It's a 20 things meme! This would have to read "Summary: James Potter says 20 random things about Sirius Black," and you guys are smart enough to figure that out from the very creative title.

Fic, These Conversations We Aren't Having [Written for woldy], PG

Oh, crap. I meant to post this when I posted the other thing. I wrote it last year as part of rs_small_gifts, based on woldy's awesome, awesome prompt. And I meant to post it last year and forgot about it until I went looking for it on my journal yesterday and lo! could not find it.

woldy, if, for whatever reason, you don't want this up here and you're mad that I posted it, I will totally take it down.

Title: These Conversations We Aren't Having
Author:gyzym
Written for:woldy
Rating: PG-13, for language.
Prompt: (I can't bear to mess with the formatting)

"Silence can be a plan
rigorously executed
the blueprint to a life.
It is a presence
it has a history, a form.
Do not confuse it
with any kind of absence.
-Adrienne Rich, from "Dream of a Common Language"

Summary: In which Sirius Black sleeps past four, there is much Indian take-away, and Remus Lupin scowls at moldy peas.
Any other notes, warnings, etc.: Seriously--while there is no fucking in this story, there is a lot of the word "fuck." Consumption (and destruction) of alcoholic beverages also occurs. Be warned. Also (and this warning was not included in the original posting), it does get a bit darker than it is at the beginning.

( And it’s your turn to pay the heat, by the by. )
