WIP Meme
I've been thinking about what I want to write once These Four Kings is done, so I meme.
Post the first sentence (or three) from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, you'll get talking about writing, and the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!
01) [HP. One shot, after Hogwart r/s get together fic. I have about 500 words.]
"Do you think Remus would like Marlena? I could invite her to the Christmas party."
"I don't know."
"Why not?"
02) [Lotrips.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spy__vs__spy verse. This is more outline than fic.]
"Billy."
John's brought him a file. "Are you going to invite me in?"
"Not on your life."
03) [HP. AU where Remus is an artist and Sirius is tired of his life. More outline than fic.]
"Is that painting still available?" Sirius asks and the conversation at the table goes quiet.
Remus smiles and nods. "Would you like another look at it?"
04) [HP. AU. Sirius is a repressed Slytherin, Remus is a Gryffindor working as a waiter for the summer. I have roughly 5000 words.]
Sirius moved his hands over the piano keys mechanically, a command performance for his mother though she barely took notice, her voice loud over the music, as she and her friends lingered over dessert. He hated being put on display, another jewel like those that lined her fingers.
05) [HP. AU (sensing a theme?). Remus didn't go to Hogwarts but they meet up as Order members. More an idea than anything else.]
"What's he doing here?" Peter says, frowning into his cup.
"I invited him. I owe him a drink." Sirius stands up and waves Remus over.
06) [HP. James/Remus/Sirius. I have a little over 500 words, none of them smut.]
"So, let's say you're a virgin--"
"I'm not."
"But let's say--"
07) [inclineoftrees I have maybe 1000 words, mostly dialogue.]
If her mother knew where Karina was, she'd be so disappointed. That was all Karina could think of as she boarded the train that would take her into the city, truly on her own for the first time in months. For a while, she watched the fields and villages rush by, and then stared down at her fingers spread wide on her thighs. She was wearing a borrowed denim skirt and a borrowed jumper--red with black stripes. She hated it but it was better than anything in her own closet full of pink mohair and tweed skirts. She'd cut her dark brown hair, too, chopping it off to her chin, carefully giving herself the fringe she'd wanted for so long.
08) [HP. AU. Remus is in Slytherin. I have maybe 2000 words, mostly outline.]
Sirius asks "Do I make you nervous?"
"You've a bit of a reputation."
"Excuse me?"
"You and Potter. For hexing Slytherins."
09) [HP. AU. Dystopian world where Muggle borns wizards must serve pure bloods. I've maybe 2000 words with r/s coming together and rebellions and such.]
Remus could still remember the day he was taken, his mother killed, his father arrested and sent to Azkaban. They told him it would be easier if he just forgot everything except what they taught him--how to serve without question, how to please, how to survive. Remus didn’t want to forget. He wanted to remember the way his mother smelled and how gentle she had been. He wanted to remember the lessons his father had given him, the graceful way he controlled his magic. He wanted them, he wanted their life back.
10) [HP. A lovely story featuring Pomona Sprout during her school days. This is more outline than fic.]
When Pomona woke up, it was still dark outside. She lay in bed for a long time, knowing she should get up if she meant to make it down to the greenhouses before first light but she didn't want to. She was warm and comfortable, and she could hear the other girls breathing softly in their sleep.
11) [HP. This is actually the second part to my 2010 small gifts story, Old Black Magic. I have a couple of thousand words.]
It was late when Remus woke up in his own bed feeling muzzy and quite like he was forgetting something important. He lay beneath the heavy blankets for a long time, the morning light milky, and ran through his day--a class to teach just after noon then office hours--and found nothing pressing, nothing that he should have done or planned for though something still nagged at him. Sleep lost to him, he got up, showered and shaved, had a cup of tea and some toast as he pulled his notes from his bags and spread them alongside his breakfast. He found it then, a small note on his calendar: he was meant to meet Fenrir Grayback the night before and he had no memory of it.
12 [HP. AU. Remus is in Ravenclaw and Sirius has never been in love with a boy before. Mostly outline.]
On their last night, Remus' father has brought home curry for dinner, and the boys sit on the floor to eat. Mr. Lupin has put on a jazz record, something that Sirius has never heard before, and he can't stop looking at Remus while Remus and his dad talk. He's embarrassed when Mr. Lupin asks him something and Remus has to shake his shoulder, laughing at him, to get his attention, and then he's even more embarrassed when Mr. Lupin asks him about his family.
13) [HP. Lily/James, Remus/Sirius voyeur fic. This is the whole idea right here.]
Lily would rather shyly tell James how much she liked watching and James siddles up to Sirius with lots of no eye contact and stammering to ask if Sirius could maybe do him a favor, and then Sirius would have to ask Remus but finds out pretty quickly that the idea of being watched turns Remus on more than he's willing to admit. When they've arranged another time to be "caught" Remus goes shy and Sirius loosens him up with lots of dirty whisperings in his ear until the things that Sirius had planned fall by the wayside and there's just slightly rough, slightly dirty sex against a wall (with Sirius holding Remus' wrists against the wall) while Lily watches from the stairwell. The third time it happens, Sirius would have Remus on the bed, blindfolded, stripping him slowly, laying him out, tying him up, taking his time, and fucking him hard--because that's what Sirius wanted, to present a real show if he's going to have an audience.
14) [Lotrips. dm/bb. This is all I've got but it would be set during filming, having come home for the holidays. A get together fic.]
It was cold, and Dominic felt stupid for forgetting that it would be. He scrunched his face up against the wind and dug his icy fingers deep into his pockets before he set out across the field.
15) [HP. I don't know. This is pretty much it.]
"You don't have to stay, James. Neither of you do. I'm sure you'd rather be with your family."
"You're my family, too."
"You've gone soppy over night, haven't you? I told Sirius--"
"I've always been soppy," James said as he reeled Remus in for a hug
16) [HP. Set during the war. This is pretty much it.]
Remus broadcasts for the Order on a secret wizarding radio station during the first war and Sirius falls in love with his voice.
17) [HP. Non-magic AU. This is it.]
Remus, an astronomer who lectures at a university, had grown up with Lily and is her "maid of honor" at her wedding to James, which is how he meets Sirius, James' best man. Neither had been in love with a boy before and friendship blossoms into something else very quickly. Mostly just a love story with Sirius finding his way out of a bad relationship and Remus opening up to something that he never thought imaginable. (what rubbish ahaha but I had a very enjoyable morning yesterday thinking about it)
