friday night fic? yeah, I think it's saturday morning fic at this point

i. DO YOU KNOW WHAT CLICHE BINGO HAS MADE ME DO. IT HAS MADE ME WRITE HARRY POTTER FIC.

I mostly blame this indirectly on feverbeats, because he has been going on about how Harry Potter is kind of his one true fandom, and deep down I have an inner fifteen-year-old who wants to just write Sirius/Remus fic all the time because that is baby's first OTP, and if I actually know how to write kisses now, why am I not writing Remus/Sirius kisses all the time?? This is more or less one last indulegence.

So, for the fairly fabulous cliche_bingo prompt 'woke up in bed together' I give you Several Ways to Apologize, in which Sirius Black does, indeed, find several ways to apologize for that hilarious thing he did that one time in sixth year that upset Snape. Y'know, that thing. Features legumes, some Padfoot POV, Peter with an actual speaking role, and naked Remus. Okay, I guess I still like this fandom after all.

ii. (which is related to i.)

aria: Sirius Black's narrative voice: still easy after five years without. O.O
polarisnorth: That doesn't actually surprise me. Sirius is pretty much the first of many characters of his type that you've fangirled over the years.
polarisnorth: RayK is only the latest.
aria: ...yeah, I am kind of eyeing it going "This is easy because it is sixteen-year-old British!Ray with ~magic~."
polarisnorth: ... have you written the crossover prompt yet?
polarisnorth: Because.
polarisnorth: That would be hilarious.
aria: dsddsfdfslkljdfs OH MY GOD

YEAH GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO BE WRITING TOMORROW. But not right now because now I am sleeping.

I AM GRINNING SO HARD AT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IN THIS POST

[aria]

AS WELL YOU SHOULD.

I think you should go read my fic but much more importantly, ohgod, Scott, instead of doing something SANE and REASONABLE like, I dunno, just Sorting all the dS characters into Hogwarts (Fraser and RayK: giant Gryffindors; RayV: I am thinking maybe the nicest Slytherin on the planet?) it is instead a fusion prompt so I am making up an entire fucking wizarding schooling system for North America and then trying to figure out timelines, because they'd have been teenagers in the '70s during Voldemort's first rise to power, right? And the hilarious thing is that probably none of my worldbuilding will even be unnecessary because Fraser is kind of like Hermione in that he will happily spout all the exposition. HE READ IT IN A BOOK. XDDD

[feverbeats]

I absolutely will! AFTER BREAKFAST.

Ohmygodyes. Also, RayV is absolutely a Slytherin and no one can tell me otherwise. AAH I AM PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I am currently writing my "ghosts and hauntings" cliche with Sirius haunting Tonks and demanding why she stole his boyfriend. /o\ I AM NOT BITTER. UM.

Yaaaay Slytherin!Vecchio. Uh, I am debating whether or not RayV should be in this thing, because it is plenty complicated enough that they are going to be all teenagers -- it means things like "teenage RayK is pining over Stella but obvs has to eventually end up with Fraser instead" and if I throw RayV in there somewhere, all my wires will get crossed and confused because my brain is programmed for OT3 when they're all in the same story and omg, I don't have TIME for a damn OT3 in this fic. BUT I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE VECCHIO OUT. HELP?

--Oh and I also totally meant to say that I APPROVE REALLY HARD OF YOUR BITTERNESS. I am so absolutely for that fic. <3

[feverbeats]

OH DEAR. Well, if I were you, I think I'd just leave him out of this one, because I see your predicament exactly. You could just mention him in the background, maybe? Being awesome, but not really part of the story?

[aria]

Nrrr, well, since canon is in favor of RayV/Stella, maybe that could happen? And I could even make RayK a little zen about it. I just mostly feel a little bad because I have this very specific idea of RayV as a teenager, and he's a really great guy and would be perfectly nice to Fraser the nutty exchange student, but I don't think they would really be friends and that makes me die a little inside. Probably I should just take deep breaths, snuggle my Kowalski POV, and momentarily let go of my loving attachment to Vecchio.

[feverbeats]

That's right! I believe in your power to not write ot3 fic once in a very rare while. ♥

RayV basher!

RayV basher! Fraser's and RayV's friendship is the best thing about Due South. If you want to eliminate it, you're nothing but a RayV hater and RayV basher.

[(Anonymous)]

But the Slytherins are evil! How can you put RayV with them? He's not evil! Fraser and RayK are not better than RayV!

[aria]

...holy shit, friend, nearly a DECADE LATER the RayV troll has found this post and yelled about Slytherins being evil, I feel #blessed

[feverbeats]

THIS IS GIVING ME LIFE

Slytherins are evil. So how can you put RayV in with them? You're yet another F/K shipper who's also a RayV basher.
