He went down laughing. I hear it in my dreams at night-- his laugh as he fell into the void. It haunts me in a way that no cry of anguish ever could; I want to hear his laughter again but never will.

IS IT CHEATING TO USE A SEMI COLON?

*wibbles* Lovely, R. M.

P.S. Semi colons are GODSENDS! :)

:(

Beautiful.

[shutupeccles.livejournal.com]

perfect

[pavlablack.livejournal.com]

I often use dashes to "cheat" as well. This was lovely and sad.

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

Don't mind me as I just go and fetch a tissue-

[onehundredmoons.livejournal.com]

Very nice.

How naive did Remus think she was with his oh-so-casual Mind if I bring a friend home for the holidays, Mum? when his letters were full of the clever things Sirius Black had said, and the impressive things Sirius Black had done, and the grand plans Remus had for the two them over the summer?

Then again, what could one do with fifteen-year-olds but make up the guest room for their "friends," embarrass them with stories from holidays past, and remind them how much you trusted them to make good decisions?

Of course, dear. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to meeting him.

PERFECT :)

[pavlablack.livejournal.com]

I really loved this!

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

Oh, Remus! Hee! ♥ ♥

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

haha just completely brilliant :D

[onehundredmoons.livejournal.com]

I really love this.

Sirius wanted to play in the snow, but Remus wanted a nap. Remus regretted the decision not to go outside with Sirius, when that evening he walked past a snowman lying on the ground with a snow-carved dog sitting on top of it. A glowing sign had been magicked beside the pair that read, "Moony is a boring lumpface but at least he makes a good pillow."

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Aw. That he does! This brought a smile to my face. M.

[mutuisanimis.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks :) [I'm feeling pretty Moony-ish right now, haha]

[pavlablack.livejournal.com]

This made me smile. So Sirius to do this!

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

The image of Sirius grumbling and feeling all kinds of self righteously smug while building it haha :D

[onehundredmoons.livejournal.com]

Ha! Very Sirius.

[shutupeccles.livejournal.com]

Sirius was a tad disappointed when his sudden appearance in the Lupin's fireplace didn't make Moony jump out of his freckled skin or utter a mild yet abrupt profanity.

But then, he knew other far more pleasurable ways to get Moony to do the same thing.

Remus saw the lustful shift in his surprise visitor's expression, and began unbuttoning his shirt with a seductive smile.

[pavlablack.livejournal.com]

Ooh--I'd like to see a continuation of this. It's like their version of dirty Skyping : )

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Hee! Always trying to get a rise out of Remus, one way or another. Enjoyed! M.

Sirius twisted his wrist and pushed just so as he said, "How's that?"

Remus wriggled his hips, and said, in a breathy sort of way, "Um, not quite."

Sirius moved his hand and was stopped from asking again as Remus let out a low satisfied groan of pleasure.

[rewrites24.livejournal.com]

NICE!

[gryffindorj.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[pavlablack.livejournal.com]

Hot! I especially like the second sentence--it just seemed very Remus to me.

[gryffindorj.livejournal.com]

Thank you I am glad despite the brevity is sounded like Remus.

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

Well of course you'd write porn!

Although it could be an innocent back massage.

...

...

Yeah, right!

[gryffindorj.livejournal.com]

It's totally a massage but not a back one.

Writing porn is almost like breathing to me :P

[shutupeccles.livejournal.com]

Brava! [applauds]
I've read this more times than there are sentences in it

[gryffindorj.livejournal.com]

NICE! Thank you. There is a plus to something short, it's easy to read again and again.

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

Can you tell a Remus/Sirius story in only three sentences?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Um, no!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Ah, but you can *refuse* to tell a story in three cleverly constructed sentences! :)

Also, hello and welcome back! So glad to see you around these parts again. I've been thinking of you often this past month. M.

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

:-P There's a reason drabbles have never been my thing!

*HUGS* It's good to be back! Oh hey, I missed your birthday, didn't I? Happy Belated! Hope it was a good one! ♥ ♥ Let me know if you need an extra pinch hitter or something. I'll probably peruse the unclaimed prompts and bonus round stuff and write something. Well, I'll try at any rate. I'm so rusty! I haven't written anything since remix last April! Ack!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Heh. I should have said there was a special dispensation for you; you get three pages and three pages only. :)

Aw, thanks! It was a Big One this year, *meep*, but as the better half says, each decade has been better than the last, right?

Thanks about the pinch-hitting! And re: bonus round: I'm hoping a bit of time off will make even the most stressed out of us feel relaxed and prolific as New Years approaches... M.

[gryffindorj.livejournal.com]

I don't Li. If anyone can write a run on sentence.....

[sambethe.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!

Who said anything about sentences?
Apologies must be given for the green pen- it was the only one lying around on my desk. I could have changed it, but to be honest, I found that I've actually grown rather inexplicably attatched to it...

[rewrites24.livejournal.com]

LOL! Poor Moony; Sirius is forever interrupting his studying.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT! *laughs* I'm sorry about the "sentences" business, by the way, but you did just that, a story in three images. Fabulous. I love how it's totally unclear exactly what's going on in the second image--confusion! change!--and how the contrast of the white of Sirius' shirt anchors and clarifies everything in the last image. M.

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

No that's okay- I did what I liked anyway ;D
It was meant to be Padfoot but it all got a bit confused and muddled- hah

[mutuisanimis.livejournal.com]

THIS IS SO CUTE! ^_^

[shutupeccles.livejournal.com]

three cheers for puppy glompage!

[adistantsun]

I love you/this!

"You look flushed, Mr Lupin, are you feeling alright?" squeaked professor Flitwick from his podium at the front of the classroom.

"Oh, quite alright, just a bit warm," Remus breathed, clenching his hands in his robes.

Under the desk, Sirius hummed low and licked his lips as he slowly zipped Remus' fly.
