Once there was a community called dogdaysofsummer. And it was good. Prompts were given each day of August 2005, and writers could write based from the prompt, draw from the prompt, or just write/draw about Remus/Sirius.

I wrote a ficlet for each day set in August, 1995 (after the events of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). All ficlets are related and are part of a series.

The series was orginially posted at dogdaysofsummer. All the ficlets are posted together here. Cut into different parts due to length.

Written August 2005.

Part Two of Mischief Managed. Please see part one for all disclaimers and warnings.

( Mischief Managed (Part Two) )

Title: Mischief Managed (Part One)
Author: krabapple
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: R, for one section; PG for the rest
Disclaimer: I own nothing you might recognize.
Summary: Everyone deserves a little happiness, even Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Alternate Universe (AU) set during Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts. Also known as "Sirius Black and the DADA Professor." No real warnings, everything's pretty vanilla, but watch out for cheesy canon references. Speaking of canon, some lines and passages, most notably Lupin's boggart lesson, have been taken directly from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. If you recognize it, I probably lifted it. Quick wash beta, so all mistakes still definitely belong to me. Written for the sirius_loving challenge.

This thing stands at approximately 43 pages and 18,034 words. Cut into two parts due to length.

For the lovely Sarah, on the occasion of her birthday. *mwah*

Title: All That You Can't Leave Behind
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: PG
Genre/Time Period: Post-Goblet of Fire/"Lie Low at Lupin's"
Disclaimer: I own nothing of J.K. Rowling's work or U2's song collection, even though I borrowed the title.
Feedback: Always appreciated.
Summary: Nothing is ever that easy for Remus or Sirius.
Author's Notes: For lykaios, for her birthday. Rock on, baby! Many special thanks to thistlerose for the lightning beta.

( All That You Can't Leave Behind )

Title: Apparition No. 12
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Remus/Sirius, though I think the argument can be made for a Remus-centric gen. This isn't a romance.
Rating: PG-13 for some language and some sexual references
Disclaimer: I own nothing of JKRs.
Summary: Remus Lupin: Dumbledore's (Reluctant) Man
Feedback: Always appreciated.
Author's Notes/Warnings: For musesfool, who posted Thea Gilmore's song Apparition No. 12 in her journal and then said someone should write that, it seems like a Remus/Sirius song to me. This is probably not what you were thinking, as it is more Remus than anything else, but I tried. *g* The song quoted in italics is, of course, Apparition No. 12.

Title: A Minor Fall
Author: krabapple

Pairing: James/Lily, Remus/Sirius, secondary
Rating: NC-17, but only for the May section.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, not the Harry Potter parts, or the Shakespeare parts, or the Buffy bit--you'll see what I mean.
Summary: James and Lily, in their seventh year at Hogwarts. What are a Head Boy and Girl to do?
Feedback: Always appreciated. :)
Warings/Author's Notes: Down and dirty beta, so there are probably some errors. They are all mine, of course. Word Count: 21, 843; Page Count: 56. Complete. Posted in three parts total; this is part one.

Anyway, musesfool asked for some James/Lily romantic comedy on her Christmas wish list, so I tried. :) Enjoy!

Title: The Patronus Charm
Author: krabapple
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: PG-13, almost all for language.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Truly.
Summary: Set during Order of the Phoenix. Remus tries to re-teach Sirius the Patronus charm, but there are obstacles on both sides.
Warnings/Author's Notes: A thousand thank yous to lunec for some very hard beta work. This story is immensely better than it was because of you.
Feedback: Always appreciated.
