Countdown to Small Gifts 6/6: Happily ever after

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY SIX of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Today's question: if you could give Remus and Sirius a happily every after, where and when would it be? At what age? In what circumstances? I know our art and fic address this question all the time--in fact, many in our exchange will do so!--but chime in with your thoughts today, right now. Are there parts of their story that are essential to them and their dynamic--parts you'd need to keep despite the tragedy? How would you go about making them happy?

You have convinced me! Yay to everyone lives! Yes, more, more! Interesting to explore what would happen to all of them without Voldemort. Voldemort is boring. Anyway, even if we keep him, that whole change the secret keeper thing makes no sense, so we just get rid of that plot device and we get to keep James and Lily! What would have happened in our brand new canon with Secret Keeper Sirius? I want to see!

Hurrah! Voldemort is boring. He doesn't even have a nose. They could've killed him off with a few strategic gas leaks. Then everyone can concentrate on more important matters, like how to fit a child safety seat to a flying motorcycle.
