Silver Bells And Cockle Shells
by minnow_53

Pairings: Remus/Sirius, James/Lily
Summary: Remus is having doubts at James and Lily’s wedding.
Rating: PG
Genre: Serious, even a bit angsty.

(It’s impossible not to watch the clock...)

Okay, as threatened promised, here’s the second of my 800_words fics. As with the first, the entries aren’t anonymous any more, so ignore the guess-the-author option. :D

The Years Before You Came: Harry Potter and the Universe
by minnow_53

Summary: As a corollary to JKR’s prequel, a full and frank account of what happened before Harry Potter.
Rating: PG
Genre: This one’s definitely crack.

Now the reveal is up, here’s a link to the first of my two 800_words fics. The challenge was to write our own HP prequel in 800 words. As these aren’t anonymous any more, there’s no need to guess the author when you’ve finished! :P I’ll post the other one in a day or two, so as not to swamp the f-list.

Ficlet: Return Of The Porntache (Deathly Hallows Edition)
By minnow_53

A/N: Flogging a dead horse department... This is a totally unnecessary sequel to Five Times Remus’s Moustache Wasn’t Mentioned in Canon. I wrote it back when DH came out, but never got round to posting it. Though it’s well past its sell-by date, I hope it will raise a faint smile or two. :/

Summary: In Book 7, Remus Lupin still doesn’t possess the secondary male sexual characteristic that we know and hate love.

Now crossposted to remusxsirius and the_kennel.

( ‘That was a close shave,’ Harry remarked... )

JK Rowling And The Missing Minorities (The Politically Correct Harry Potter)
by minnow_53

Disclaimer: These characters belong to JK Rowling and various corporations.
Rating: PG-13
Era: Various, ranging from Marauder to post-DH.
Summary: A humble fanfic writer shows the High Priestess of Children’s Fiction the way to political correctness, including the need to observe LJ policy at all times. Where fandom leads, the great authors will follow...
Warning: I suspect this will offend a few people, but not as much as JKR has offended some elements of fandom! :D Obviously, it's a work of fiction, and I intend no disrespect to any group or character mentioned herein.
Thank you: To astra_argentea for reading through.
Spoilers: Yes. DH spoilers ahoy!

In No Man’s Land
by minnow_53

Disclaimer: These characters belong to JK Rowling and various corporations.
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sirius is back in London on a twenty-four hour leave.
Genre and era: AU, set in 1942.
AN: Obviously, I’ve tried to keep this accurate, but narrative integrity always comes before research, so please be kind and bear with any errors.
Thanks: To astra_argentea for reading through.

Now crossposted to the_kennel, remusxsirius and hp_whatif.

Back From The Future
By minnow_53

Disclaimer: JKR’s.
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Summary: The fandom version of the final chapter and epilogue in the Harry Potter series. When the Marauders return from their trip to the future, it is obvious that Peter must die...

A couple of days ago, I posted a fairly serious take on the Deathly Hallows epilogue. This rather different version might appeal more to certain members of my f-list. :P You know who you are! It's a one-shot, of course, and stands on its own.

Harry Potter: The Epilogue
By minnow_53

Disclaimer: It’s patently obvious I’m not JK Rowling! *sigh* Pretty well everyone and everything in here belongs to her.
Summary: What happened to everyone after the end? The very last chapter of Deathly Hallows.
Rating: G
AN: This isn’t crack, but a fairly straightforward attempt to think my way into the fate of all the characters. There are hundreds of possible outcomes: these are just speculation!
AN2: No spoilers as such, obviously, though there may be inadvertent ones: but this is a work of pure fiction.
AN3: This was written a while before Deathly Hallows came out.

( What happened next? )

The Adventures (Or Lack Thereof) Of Uncle Padfoot
by minnow_53

Disclaimer: The characters belong to JK Rowling.
Pairing: Remus and Sirius.
Summary: Remus wants to update his blog. Wicked Uncle Padfoot wants to ravish his little Moony. Who will win? A gripping tale of almost unbearable suspense...
Rating: Not sure. Somewhere between PG-13 and R.
Era: Just after Hogwarts: Remus and Sirius are nineteen or twenty. (There are anachronisms. Poetic licence.)
AN: Tasteless on the face of it, but this is actually fluffy crack.
