Caffeine of Choice

James and Peter were traditionalists. They liked their caffeine in the form of tea, thank you very much. Although James would occasionally add lemon and honey, Peter firmly preferred milk and sugar.

Sirius's new favourite was coffee. He said that tea was for society matrons, offered primarily so they could show off their family china and monogrammed silver. Coffee was for the young and rebellious, like the disillusioned American expatriates in a Muggle novel he'd read. (Remus suspected that Sirius simply enjoyed ordering it "strong, hot, and Black.")

Remus allowed his friends to argue while he savoured his hot chocolate.

Thank you to all of you new participants at sirius_remus100. It's great to see you there. If you haven't joined yet, this week's prompt is "glass". Why don't try your hand at writing a drabble for the prompt?

For my newest drabble, I decided to delve into suspicion.

A plotbunny hopped up to me and asked, "Why is Remus such a chocoholic in fanfiction? He never eats it in canon." I told the bunny that he was absolutely right. Remus merely has chocolate available on occasions when students are likely to encounter Dementors and require its medicinal properties. “Be prepared” is just as apt a motto for DADA professors as it is for Boy Scouts. (Peter, on the other hand— Ron tells us that Scabbers loves Fudge Flies.)

Which is not to imply that I dislike chocoholic-Remus. I love the stuff, so I find it believable that Remus might too. I simply thought it high time to write a story in which he doesn't care for it.

This was one of the very first fanfic stories I ever wrote and is a sequel to Mud.

Title: The Mary Sue Solution

Author: mysid

Rating: PG

Author's Note: I was thinking about the strong correlation between being a transfer student and being a Mary Sue, and it occurred to me that I just might have the solution to poor Remus's sad and lonely life—transfer him to another school. However, my mind didn't quite write that story, it wrote this.

Hello, everyone! Just got back from a week's vacation on Lake Bomoseen in beautiful Vermont. I didn't have internet access, so I'm very behind in what's been happening in LJ land. I even missed the final week of our discussion of The Charioteer over at maryrenaultfics.

What's that you ask? Did I bring you a present? Of course I did. This is a short ficlet I wrote back in June or July but never got around to finishing. Here it is all finished, enjoy!

Title: The Nicest Thing My Mother Ever Did For Me

Author: JKLB (mysid)

Rating: PG

Author’s Note: Write enough MWPP fanfiction and eventually you’ll probably succumb to writing certain key moments of their lives. I have finally succumbed to writing their first September first, but I’ve tried to make it different. Once JKR introduced us to Sirius’s family in OotP, all my previous conceptions of Sirius and James being friends before Hogwarts or hitting it off immediately flew out the window. This idea took its place. This story is compliant with both OotP canon and with my story “Choosing the Head Boy.”
