Stories by the drowsy poet

In this valley of dying stars/In this hollow valley/This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms./ (This is the way the world ends.) Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter. What are they now? (Not with a bang but with a whimper.) For Sylvia.

A little boy finds a box in the attic, and inside it is a portrait of a boy who talks to him. He thinks about his Daddy, and knows that he can't be a little boy anymore. Not when time is so fast, so fleeting. RLSB.

Somewhere along the line, Sirius Black has begun to scribble in the margins of Remus' life. AUish. RemusSirius pre-slash. /For Ralinde on her birthday.

and their flesh reeks of one other, but now Remus is just vodka and cigarettes and smeared ink, and his head pounds just enough for this not to compute. /remus, sirius, and the pride of a man who longs to bleed.

In the end, it should have been Remus to do the charm. Then it wouldn't be doing this - torturing Harry - the ghosts of a past he never knew creeping up on him. /Harry never threw away the two-way mirror from Sirius, and now it is malfunctioning. JPLE. Possible RLSB.

Sometimes when Sebastian Moran forgets, he calls his boss. Jim never picks up the phone. /For Cassidy.

In the midst of his loneliness, Sirius takes to watching the barista at his (not so) local coffee shop. And, sometimes, the barista watches too. Wolfstar AU. For Paula.

Teenlock AU. In an effort to make people look into each other's eyes more, and also to appease the mutes, the government has decided to allot each person exactly 167 words, per day. Johnlock. Inspired by a post on Tumblr.

He wants so badly to be wrong, but he's Remus - isn't he? - he's Remus and he's right, always so goddamnded right. / RLSB. Remus doesn't feel the cold.

Sirius has been quieter recently. He leaves his coat on the hook when he goes out. It's as though, Remus thinks, he's not even there. Not really. Post-Betrayal. RLSB

Percy gets stuck underneath a bed that is not his own, and the events that occur are not expected. Perciver and pie, a Christmas present for Ramblings of a Deranged Mind.

"Both the onlookers, but you're the boy with the sketchbook and he's the boy with the camera. It's a fight to the death, a shallow competition, a silent match with just two solitary players." DeanColin. A series of encounters of the unusual sort.

'It happens in the briefest of seconds.' Drabble. Hermione falls a little bit in love, and she's a girl who can laugh a whole day away. A girl who can knock over an umbrella stand on every try. HermioneTonks.

"You're not good with words, so you listen." Teddy Lupin and his woes regarding Victoire. For the Favourite Character Bootcamp on HPFC. Little angsty.

'You wonder how it was that you fell this far without even noticing.' Regulus and his journey up from the Death Eaters. For the Character Diversity Bootcamp on HPFC. Prompt used- 'duplicate.'

Written for Potterx10's Letter Competition. During the War, Dean writes a letter to Seamus.

Peter Pettigrew wasn't always the man he turned out to be. Marauders aren't Marauders for nothing, you know. The cut-down story of the rat's life right up until the Betrayal.

"There are the days when you don't want to live." Johnlock. Not a reunion fic, no. Warnings of angst and general teariness.

You love her and you think she loves you because the bookcase trembles and the door swings open. You think in that moment your souls are aligned. You're Teddy, and she's Victoire. A singular entity. One-sided T/V

Lily Evans never hated James Potter, no. This is an entirely different feeling, and she's not sure if she likes it. Not-entirely-fluffy-Jily.
