Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *alcohol*
Word count: 3,082
Summary: Remus swipes right into the biggest mistake he’s made in a long time.
Notes: This was such fun to write! Thank you to Liseuse for your inspiring prompts. I tried to get as much of prompt 1 and the wildcard in here as I could. Your list of “likes” also shaped this story, particularly the mention of politics. Also, many thanks to my beta reader Jo!

Art: Fullmoon for Articcat621

[druhkayris.livejournal.com]

Title: Fulmoon
Artist: druhkayris
Recipient: articcat621
Rating: G
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): none
Notes: I ponder a bit about what werewolf form Mooy should take, an original form or an oversize wolf. At the end I chose the later, a large but lanky wolf he is. Hope you like this articcat621, happy small gift and thanks for the prompt.
To be honest, the hardest part of my first RS small gift was figuring out how LJ worked why it didn't upload my picture, hope I didn't mess up anything.

Fic: Show Me What It Could Be Like for abyss_valkyrie

[mustntgetmy.livejournal.com]

Title: Show Me What It Could Be Like

Author/Artist: mustntgetmy

Recipient: abyss_valkyrie

Rating: R

Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *Cursing, some references to sex but nothing too hardcore *

Word count:4,437

Summary: Unbeknownst to any of his friends, Remus has been writing M/M erotica for a living. But naturally, it's impossible for this kind of secret to be kept for very long - especially from Sirius.

Notes: I honestly meant for this to have way, way more smut in it than it actually has (which is next to none, I'm sorry!), but because I wrote it mostly at my job that didn't pan out. Hope you enjoy it anyway, abyss_valkyrie and happy holidays to you!

( Remus supposed that his job could be classified as adult as well, but not quite in the same way. )
