sirius/remus. angst-free.

[phineasjones]

annecatherine asked for something fluffy. no angst, she said. and then she said make it sirius/remus.

... no angst.

while most humans have bodies composed of 70% water, sirius and remus are composed of at least 98% angst.

still, she won a prize, she gets a request. that's how the game goes. and this is what i wrote:



Apology


“Sirius, is that you? What are you doing?”

“Shhhh,” Sirius said, as he crawled in through the curtains around Remus’ bed.

“What are you doing?” Remus asked again in a whisper as Sirius let himself under the covers and lay his head next to Remus’ on the pillow.

“Remember earlier? You know, before dinner…”

“Mmhmm,” said Remus, shifting onto his side so he could see Sirius’ face beside him.

“I said I was sorry…”

“I told you it’s alright,” Remus cut him off quickly, “so what are you doing here, in my bed, in the middle of the night?”

“I’m not”

“What?”

“I’m not sorry.”

“Oh.”

“I didn’t want you to be upset with me. But really I’m not sorry. I liked it. I’d do it again. If you wanted me to.”

Remus’ breathing had grown shallow. “Ok,” he whispered.

“Really?” Sirius pushed himself up on his elbow.

Remus wanted to laugh at the eager expression on Sirius’ face, but with blood rushing loudly in his ears and his limbs going suddenly cold, he could only nod slightly.

“Brilliant,” whispered Sirius as he leaned over Remus.

Remus closed his eyes and felt Sirius’ breath on his lips and then the soft press of his mouth. Sirius pulled away and returned, pressing harder, parting his lips slightly, easing his body over Remus’.

Remus sighed into Sirius’ mouth. He put one hand on the small of Sirius’ back and with the other, he touched his hair, curling his fingers into it and pulling Sirius closer.

The blankets shifted around them as they fit their bodies together, curling around each other.

“No,” Sirius said, breaking away, his face flushed and warm, “No, I’m definitely not sorry.”

Remus grinned and pulled him into another kiss.

i think i just swooned a little. over sirius/remus. omg, don't tell anybody.

seriously, this is fantastic: playful and sweet and once again, each word plays a proper, poignant role. i know i say this early and often, but your work is always such a delight.

Hee! I've reading too much Sirius/Remus angst fic lately so I needed a break. Hence the fluff fic request. And boy, did you deliver.

I've been clutching my chest and going 'Awwww' for the past few minutes. I want to pet both of them and call them George.

Sirius isn't the type to be sorry. That makes this ficlet all the more sweet. Lovely job.

[annecatherine.livejournal.com]

One more thing ... Thank you so much!

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

you are quite welcome, dear. it was actually very nice to have someone tell me, 'no angst!' it freed me up to just think about the happy times, which was lovely.

and i'm so glad you liked it.

[kaalee.livejournal.com]

omg, I almost never read s/r but it was you and *sigh* I loved this. loveloved it.

and I'm not sorry either. ;)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

hee. no, don't be sorry. even if i'm still reeling from reading about them kissing in a giant martini glass full of jello.

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is lovely! Thank you. :)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

thank you.

[semielliptical]

Beautiful! Reading this makes me almost as happy as Remus and Sirius!

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

aw. yay! we should all be so happy. at least once in a while. yeah.

[dancingrain.livejournal.com]

brilliant and sweet and simple. I love the sparseness of the plot, in that I can picture the entire lead-up, imagine the scene earlier, the conversation or lack of it, but we didn't need to see it, and you created it in just a few words. And I love how the atmosphere changes with just one "Ok."

Yay.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

oh, thank you thank you. it was so great to have to write s/r with no angst. i kept thinking keep it fluffy, keep it fluffy. and what better fluff is there than first kisses?

[horatia.livejournal.com]

aww. Hurray for fluff.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

hurray indeed. i'm rather glad someone made me write it. :)

[madmadharri.livejournal.com]

“Brilliant,” whispered Sirius as he leaned over Remus.

aaaahhh! you have accomplished the impossible. angst-free s/r. and me too, with the swoony. ::swoons out of chair::

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

yay for swooning! heehee. i loved writing this, really. happy s/r, for a frickin change. if only it stopped here, ya know.

[addictedkitten.livejournal.com]

Aaaah! Oh, dude. Dude, yes. Like that. How you came into it, and then it's like, bam! There you go. With the love.

Hmm. Yes. Just like that.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

hee. thanks, sweetie. nice to know that fluff for fluff's sake has its own appeal.

i am a slash-started kitten right now, myself. i would read fluff. i would read angst. fer cryin' out loud, i would read deathfic. ok, maybe i wouldn't. i don't know. just going through a little withdrawal here.


but thanks! ::schnuggles::

[endora-taylor.livejournal.com]

absolutely wonderful. sometimes, we need a break from the angst. and you deliver perfectly.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

thanks so much! and yes, i agree about having breaks from angst. lately, all i want is angst-free s/r. maybe a side effect of reading HBP. :)

[la-locandiera.livejournal.com]

This is one of the rare non-porn, non-angst, completely fluff Sirius/Remus fics in existence that's actually good. I need to take a moment to process that. I like your style.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

oh wow, thanks. i'm so glad you liked it.
