fic: Severus/Sirius dialogue-let (humour, PG-13)

More unexpected randomness in comments on others' fic:

I love this dialogue-only style. I don't think I could do it. It's actually harder to convey descriptive things without sounding rather forced.

...*blinks*

"Are you sure about that? Snape and I probably have some perfectly awful things we could say to one another. You'd enjoy it."

"Black, don't startle her like that. She's spilled enough things on her keyboard without your unsubtle help. However, as astonishing as this is, Ms. Forest, he is correct."

"Snape, put that eyebrow down. This isn't the news of the century."

"Um, fellas, I'm just not sure..."

"Well, Greasy and I will be in the bedroom if you need us."

"I suppose you think that wink was supposed to be charming and rakish, Black."

"It's always worked before. Or is that not your hand on my arse right now?"


(Sirius, ilu ^_^ So self-centered and cocksure.)

lunylucy, this morning's events have put the lie to what I told you about only two Potter-related dreams. This morning there was a third, although related only in that certain characters and actors appeared (like the one you described, it was a rather bizarre assortment of images and events). Vignettes therefrom:

• Adult Harry, James II (who looked totally wrong) at 8 years old, me, and a crazy Asian lady driver (I say this not to be disparaging, but because she was all three of these things, and because that's how the omniscient narrator described her in the dream, too) in a Mercedes, driving off a freeway onramp onto a packed moist dirt surface, rough, potholed. Crazy driver lady said something about it being the set of a Bruce Lee film. Let me tell you, Mercedes sedans are not made for offroading excitement.


• Gas costing $5.55 a gallon. (What is this, the UK?)


• Fanvid of still shots of Alan Rickman doing ADR for the Harry Potter movies, edited together with a music track, for some reason all in cyan tone, and whether because of the way they did the contrast or just because my brain is weird this way, he looked about thirty in all of them. (WHAT. I don't know if such photos even exist. If they did, someone would surely have made this video already *snerk*.)


• Owning a copy of Deathly Hallows (I don't -- fuck shelling out $35 for that. I need to buy a used copy), but it wasn't all orange, it was ... green, I think? (but not like the cover for HBP either.) Maybe it was one of the "undressed books" Lily and Severus agreed were superior *giggles*.


• Piece de resistance: Fanart of a notional album cover of a folk/psychedelic 60s guitar act called "Clockstopper", featuring a twentysomething Severus. (Again, WHAT. Although according to Urban Dictionary, and I have never heard of this before now, "clockstopper" is an actual word, and means someone so ugly they can stop a clock. Oh Severus, quit it with the self-deprecation kthxbye.)

Referring to Sirius as "cocksure" gave me an idea for fanart I can't possibly draw. (Warning: contains 25% James Potter-bashing by volume.)

Lineup of Sirius, Lucius, Severus, and James (who feels left out of the "-us" party, surely). Like some kind of natural museum display, or something. Severus and James of course will be glaring daggers at one another. Sirius and Lucius, well, there's no backstory there really, but I suppose they each think they are the hottest thing going, so they could be sneering at each other for that.

Labels "cocky", "peacocky", "prickly", and "a prick".

Tee hee.


Good grief, how many of the names DO end in -us, anyway? I mean, I know why, linguistically speaking, but still. It's overload:

Severus, Lucius, Sirius, Remus, Rubeus, Bartemius, Albus, Bilius, Seamus, Filius, Rodolphus, Cornelius, Rufus, Augustus (that's Rookwood's actual name, right? that's not fanon that I'm mixing in?)...

And that's just from memory, without going to HP-Lexicon. Honestly...

fic: Diamonds and Rubies (Severus/Lucius, gen, PG)

xpost to snape100.

Title: Diamonds and Rubies
Word Count: 100 x 2
Rating: PG
Challenge #199: Snape and the Malfoys
Characters: Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy
Warning: Vague hint at blood-play.

A/N: I've never tried to write any of the Malfoys, so I'm kind of blundering around in the dark here. I just wanted to give the prompt a try, and see if I could come up with something. I liked the first sentence, anyway, and wanted to expand on it.

( Droplets of rain speckled Severus' cloak... )

----

Further note, this being my own journal: This is okay, but not great. I like some of the imagery but it falls a little flat. I just wanted to try, though, as I said. Sort of the "write something every day, even if it's crap" idea (although this isn't every day).
