    Summary

    A study in escapism, and inevitability.


    "Give me a reason to," she snaps, finally grasping her Slate.

    "They're my memories."

    Zelda looks at him. Takes in his knit forehead and the desperation she's never seen in him until now. She swallows, struggling to keep her voice from trembling as she whispers, "They're mine, too, Link."

    His heavy gaze dips, and for a moment, the crackle of her fallen torch is all there is. The seconds tick by. Five. Five more precious seconds he's stealing from her.

    That she's letting him steal from her.

    Then, his eyes lift, and he says:

    "Let's make a deal."

    Summary

    Sirius rubs at his jaw; he’d quite like another cigarette, but won’t chance lighting one in here after the dumbfounded look Remus had given him the last time (“in a shop full of fucking books?").

    “Fuck me, it’s hot. At the beach—you can barely walk over those pebbles without shoes on, they’ll take the bloody skin off your feet. What shall we do now, do you think?”

    “You could buy a book,” Remus suggests, with a dry smile. “And I could take the money for it.”

    or:

    1976, Brighton. A second-hand bookshop in the lanes and its cashier: Sirius wouldn't even have gone in, but for the heat.

    Summary

    He’s not sure if Moody knows. Between his magicked eye —erratic and darting— and his good eye that stares straight ahead at you —unblinkingly— it seems like he doesn’t miss much. And, he had been looking over when Remus had come up to him and offered him an opened beer. And Remus’ hand had lingered perhaps a moment too long, his long fingers skittering across Sirius’ own, and Sirius had looked up and Moody had been looking right at them.

    Sirius had said something about this to Remus before they had left. Remus had been reaching forward to grab powder for the floo and Sirius had caught Remus’ wrist. “Maybe… maybe we should keep our distance. You know, in case someone suspects something,” he had said. They had fucked not half an hour ago. Sirius had been cleaning cum from between his fingers only a few minutes ago. “No one’s paying that much attention to us,” Remus had said. “There’s a spy in the Order, of course people are paying attention,” Sirius had said. And then he had let go of Remus’ wrist and Remus had stepped into the fireplace.

    And now, maybe Moody knew. Maybe everyone knew.

    Summary

    “All I know is I want—” Remus shuts his mouth in a panic. Gulps. Dry mouth. Palpitations. Sweaty palms.

    Sirius tilts his head. “What? What do you want?” Gray eyes. Collarbones. Body heat.

    “Nothing,” Remus' eyes shift to Sirius’ lips and then quickly back to smoky eyes, “it doesn’t matter.”

    “Remus,” Sirius drawls, exasperated. He steps forward and Remus steps back colliding into the wall behind him. Sirius is smirking up at him. And fuck Remus is staring at his lips again.

    Summary

    Sirius watches Remus, the way his eyelashes flutter and his nose twitches, his clever mouth, the bead of sweat falling down from his forehead. Sirius swallows. “Remus?” he murmurs.

    “Hmm?” Remus hums, turning his head to look over at him.

    “I think I’m going mad.”

    Remus’ mouth catches, all janky and awkward like. “Well yes,” he says. “I could have told you that.”

    or:

    How a failed prank and the heat can make one go a bit mad... Might even make you realise you have feelings for your best friend.
