Perhaps I'm just uncultured, but why has no one ever done Sirius finding out about jegulus because he's been sneaking visits with Reg as Padfoot?? Like Sirius is just laying there in animagus form with his head on Reg's lap while he does his homework, and Reg has no idea, and James is sneaking over to say hi and ask if they're still on for tonight, and he and Padfoot just lock eyes

summary: sirius asks for a kiss.
-
“I think,” Sirius said boldly, smelling like cigarette and beer and off brand chocolate buttons. He was leaning in. You could see the triangular parting of his lashes, dark and delicate where it kissed into skin. “This is the part where you kiss me.”
A little inconsiderately, you’re obstructing the door-way into the kitchen, because you’d fancied another drink and Sirius had been keen to follow you, because he’d not strayed far from you all night. Which was nice, because you liked the company. Not that it — standing in the doorway— mattered, because Remus and Lily were distracted in the living room arguing about something decidedly too intellectual for the rest of you and James was probably off snogging Regulus in the bathroom so he could badly pretend he wasn’t, afterwards, and Marlene and Dorcas were—
Bedroom, you figured, haphazardly. Definetly bedroom.
Anyway, the point was, it didn’t matter that you were standing in the entryway like you belonged there, because nobody was going to bother you. There was a pack of budlight on the fireplace, and vodka and rum on the coffee table, and mixers on the tv stand. Admittedly, you hadn’t needed to leave to pour something into your cup. But you’d wanted the quiet, and you’d wanted Sirius to—
Well, you supplied. This is exactly what you’d hoped for.
Coquettishly, you smiled at him. Sirius braced his arm above your head, on the door-frame. The shitty light-bulb James refused to replace flickered cold light in Sirius’ wild hair, twinkling like tiny drops of dew.
He looked gorgeous. Vaguely, you recalled that Sirius had never looked anything less.
“Is it now?” You asked, flirting. Or, trying to.
That made him smile, too. Nice smile, straight teeth. A little off-white from all the coffee. Chipped in the incisors from when he’d got a bludger or five to the face playing quidditch. You made the mental note, not that you needed to. You knew Sirius. All the tiny details.
(There’s a white scar on his nose from where he’d broken it. A minuscule freckle of green in his left iris.)
“Yeah,” Sirius confirmed. His breath was warm against your skin. You didn’t mind. “If you want.”
Something that had been latent twitched behind your ribs at that— a thrill, a chill, a desire—
“If I want.” You repeated.
Then you reached your hand against his face and curled your fingers into his hair. His stubble itched at your palm.
Sirius softly hummed. Earnestly, his lashes lowered. He was looking at your mouth.
Chapped, probably. Though he didn’t seem to mind.
There was a pause, as you watched him watch you.
And then—
You kissed him. Sirius exhaled. It was good. Sirius took your hip in his large hand, and squeezed. He let you lead. Then he melted into your touch like honey.
“Oi,” Lily interrupted, amused. “Snog somewhere responsible. You’re blocking off the kitchen.”
Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3
This is going to save me so much trouble in the future.
barty needs glasses, but he refuses to admit it and will squint during classes so hard that he hurts his head
the rest of the skittles have been trying to get him to get his eyes checked for years but he blatantly ignores it
oneshot idea: barty discovers contacts
omg now im imagining him finding out he has to touch his eyes to put them on and absolutely losing it, he doesn't tell anyone that he got them because he's petty like that -
regulus is sleeping in on the weekend and barty is attempting to put them on and he starts screaming cuz he pokes his eye, and regulus runs in acting like someones being murdered, because barty screeches like a slasher victim
Imagine:
Regulus writes his friends that he just adopted a pet.
Everyone starts arguing on which pet he adopted (most of them thinks it's a cat, but some thinks it's a snake or something strange like that).
Then they go at Regulus' home and they find a huge fucking stag in the middle of the living room.
(aka: James, who went there to ask Regulus out, panicked and turned into a stag out of Regulus' door. And Regulus just. Saw a stag in front of his house and was like: "okay. Suppose it's mine now").
Sirius laughed so hard that day he almost choked

Always thought a fun horror piece would be a twilight-zone style narrated horror series where the Rod Serling figure is both diegetic and also very clearly trying to help out the protagonists without getting caught; raising his voice at an opportune moment to distract the characters from something dangerous to look at, taking plot critical documents out of a desk and putting them in plain view in the background of shots, moving around an office during the opening Serling Speil unlocking all the doors and windows, and in the climax the protagonists are able to crawl out a previously locked window. In the final episode the freak of the week notices he’s there, goes, “oh, this asshole again,” and abandons their pursuit of the nominal protagonist in order to kill the narrator who (and this is crucial) spends the whole chase sequence moving at the exact same measured pace, speaking in the exact same measured, overprepared monologue, as the antagonist blunders into carefully-prepared environmental hazard after environmental hazard. This is the narrator’s house. You’re visiting, but he lives here, and now he’s decided that he’s the story he’s narrating is Home Alone.
Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
