Anyone up for an end-of-the-week challenge? Can you tell a Remus/Sirius story in only three sentences?

Prompts: secret smile; siblings; Lily Evans; splinched; homesick; second kiss; cauldrons explode (unprompted three-sentence stories welcome as well)

Secret smile, Lily Evans, second kiss, cauldrons explode

[torino10154]

Cauldrons explode one after the other and it doesn't take long for Remus to look toward James and Sirius, the latter sending Remus a secret smile that makes Remus's insides turn to mush.

They'd shared their first kiss the night before and, as the Potions classroom clears out, Remus knows Sirius is just as eager for a second kiss as he is.

Sirius takes Remus's hand once they reach the closest secret passage, and they duck inside... only to find James and Lily Evans already there.

Love it! Sweet and fun, and you know I love how you do it--put a whole story in a few words!! And like Maggie said, BRAVO on the sheer number of prompts.

The veil yawned open behind Sirius just as Remus' palm connected with his, pausing his tumble into oblivion. Over Sirius' shoulder he could see James and Lily and he very nearly let Sirius go to a place where he could be happy, but Lily smiled as she and James came up behind Sirius and pushed. As his lover fell safely into his arms Remus smiled back because they were all in agreement - it wasn't time yet.

*shivers* I love the idea of looking past that boundary between our world and the afterlife. Lovely! M.

[museinabsentia.livejournal.com]

Oooh, shivers. That's a good reaction. Thank you!

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

Oh my.
Very descriptive, and lovely foreshadowing of what ultimately happens.
Well done!

[museinabsentia.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is amazing. Such a cool idea--and I very much approve of you taking this opportunity to save Sirius!!!

[museinabsentia.livejournal.com]

I will take any and all opportunities to save Sirius. They deserve their happy ending. And thank you. It was a fun challenge.

They are sitting so close that Sirius can see Remus' pulse beat in his neck, his nostrils flare slightly as he breathes. Is it going to happen again?

Because anything can happen once, but twice--twice is a pattern, even a promise.

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. This is some lovely suggestion here.
Very promising indeed. :)

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

Aw, love it! Such anticipation infused into three sentences. Made me smile. :)

[onehundredmoons.livejournal.com]

Love it!!

Homesick

It's just one summer, Remus said, you're ridiculous I won’t, I'll write you know.

Yes, he knows but Sirius is fifteen years old and the air is that certain sort of drowning-hot and his mother is screaming downstairs, scritch scratch of Regulus's quill is scraping against his eyelids even though he's two rooms and four walls of peeling green wallpaper away.

He thinks that maybe he’s gone utterly mad because the way Remus writes his ‘I’s and ‘J’s makes his skin tight and his throat dry like there’s no room for breathing what with all the missing he feels.

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

Oh, this made me feel unsettled and jittery. Well done! Love the title--what and who Sirius feels to be home. Very nice.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Oh my word, the intensity of being fifteen--really well done! M.
