The Gryffindor common room had been too quiet for James’ liking. Final exams were approaching quickly, and the majority of students were spending their time studying. In his dormitory, he found Remus and Peter reading old chapters in their Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks; even Sirius was looking over old exams. James, however, needed a break from the monotony. He sat on his bed and...

Remus sleepily stumbled past Sirius and into the bathroom. It was most likely late afternoon, Remus decided, as Sirius was already awake and dressed. He could feel the soreness in his muscles, the deep ache in his bones, and the sting of fresh cuts being reopened as he walked - the aftermath of a full moon.
He fumbled clumsily for the toothpaste, the lull of sleep not having worn off yet. Upon...

James and Sirius stood on the sidewalk outside of James’ house, leaning on the fence; they were waiting for Remus to arrive in his car.
As the dull rumble of a car engine approached, James pulled Sirius by the sleeve of his jacket to the edge of the curb, stopped, and promptly waved at the passing driver with his best Queen of England impression.
The driver looked at him and Sirius and...

Remus and Sirius walked down into the kitchen, ready to set out for their trip. John and Olivia were already at the table, with breakfast waiting for them.
“Don’t lose Sirius today,” John commented.
“May I suggest a leash?” Olivia added.

ANTONIO “…Commend me to your honourable wife. Tell her the process of Antonio’s end. Say how I loved you, speak me fair in death; And, when the tale is told, bid her be judge Whether Bassanio had not once a love. Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, And he repents not that he pays your debt. For if the Jew do cut but deep enough, I’ll pay for it instantly with...
hey guys! Thank you for all the messages about missing us, it really means a lot. I am going in to brain surgery in a few days, and hopefully things will all get back to normal after that

Hey guys, we’re really sorry about the unexplained hiatus!
Right now Madison is going through some medical problems, and things aren’t going very well. We’re thinking she may need brain surgery soon if thinks don’t get better.
We promise we still have a slew of drabbles up our sleeve, and as soon as things get back to normal we’ll be back full blast!

“Hey, James - Prongs - er, Peter - no, Wormtail - Stagboy - I mean, Moony - I mean, REMUS.”
Remus shot Sirius a glare second in intensity only to Professor McGonagall when the Marauders are caught ‘suspiciously wandering’ in the Slytherin’s dormitory. Sirius looked back guiltily.
“I’ll forget that ever happened,” Remus laughed. After all, who could...

Sirius was stretched out on a couch in the common room, enjoying a quiet Saturday. His stomach rumbled in hunger.
James turned his head from the seat close by, a grave expression on his face.
“Your stomach is talking to me,” he stated, looking over at Sirius.
“What’s it telling you?” Sirius asked, genuinely curious.
“It’s telling me to do bad...

Remus sat in the library, at ease whilst surrounded by piles of books. He had been gazing through the window when Sirius walked by.
“I love you,” Remus mouthed, trying to be as silent as possible.
“I love you too,” said Sirius on the other side of the window.
“Potato?” Remus questioned, confused.
Sirius doubled over in laughter, and the walked through the...

Sirius and Remus exited the Lupin’s car, grinning. They had just been dropped off at the cinema.
“So, some time alone,” Sirius smirked, and grabbed Remus’ hand tightly.
“I never thought I’d say I was excited to get away from my family,” Remus agreed, and placed a kiss on Sirius’ cheek despite his usual opposition to public displays of affection.

The Marauders were walking down the hallway on their way to Transfiguration when Regulus Black and his gang of Slytherins passed by. He had caught his older brother’s eye; his ice blue eyes ran from Sirius to Remus and back again, and he smirked.
“What a faggot,” he sneered, and the green- and silver-clad students surrounding him followed suit. Sirius quickly retracted his hand...

Remus sat in the recently furnished new home of Lily and James Potter, trying his best to quiet his growling stomach.
“What are we doing for supper?” He asked.
“No time to cook, we’ll get take away,” James panted, out of breath from moving a large piece of furniture.
Remus picked up the menu that was becoming increasingly familiar lately - no one had found the...

Sirius’ stomach churned and he leaned over from his place on his bed again, puking into the large bucket next to him. He felt horrible and looked no better; on top of being nauseous, his head pounded and the room spun whenever he tried to sit up.
“Padfoot, you’re sick as a dog!” Peter exclaimed, trying to hide a grin at his own wit.
“Ha. Ha. Bloody fucking ha -...

Remus lay limp, broken and in pain. The hospital wing was lonely and dark, which seemed to intensify the constant ache he was all too familiar with by now. Just then, Remus felt the touch that was Sirius’ hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see his boyfriend grimacing, looking sadly at his broken arm.
“Hey love,” Sirius greeted him quietly, cautiously placing himself beside...

The students of Gryffindor were settling down in their beds on a Friday night, when they heard the slurred yell of none other than James Potter.
When the students drifted into the common room to see what all the ruckus was about, they found James with a colorful pride flag tied at his waist. He stumbled as he marched around, half-carrying and half-dragging a nearly passed out Sirius with him.

Sirius took a deep breath. “James?”
“Yeah?” James looked at his best friend, somewhat alarmed. Sirius was rarely ever this somber.
“I’ve got to tell you something.” His voice portrayed his uncertainty. “But don’t overreact, okay?”
James’ eyes widened. “Sirius, what’d you do?”
“You’ve got to promise...

The Marauders had been sitting on the floor talking when Delilah had entered the room. She began walking around them in a circle, tapping them on the head as she did so.
She tapped Peter’s head. “Duck.”
James’. “Duck.”
Remus’. “Duck.”
Sirius’. “Owl.”
Peter’s. “Duck.”

Sirius was sitting on the ground with baby Harry, amusing him by rolling around a ball. Just then, the Potters’ cat, Felicia, entered the room. She walked up to Sirius, dropped her toy, and gazed up at him expectantly.
“I swear that thing is part dog,” Peter concluded.
“I am not playing fetch,” Sirius said indignantly, moving the toy aside and turning back to...

It was the beginning of the school year: Sirius and Remus sat in their dormitory, embracing the lack of homework and enjoying some much-needed time alone together.
Out of the blue, Sirius asked, “Don’t you ever want to shag? You know, be a little adventurous for once? We’re in sixth year now and we’ve never done anything more than snog.”
“We’ve only...

When the Marauders charged through the Common Room, the only person there was Lily Evans. She was curled up quietly on one of the armchairs, looking as if she had just been run over by a bus. She was rubbing her temples, and shot them a murderous look as they walked past.
James looked at Lily’s miserable state. Seeing as the last thing it looked like Lily wanted to do was talk to him, James...

“Moony, we should go somewhere tonight,” Sirius declared. “We could nick the Invisibility Cloak and go to the Three Broomsticks to get butterbeer.”
“We have an essay due tomorrow,” Remus pointed out.
Sirius, clearly unamused, turned into Padfoot and snatched the parchment away from Remus, ripping off a large portion of the paper. Turning back to Sirius, he...

The Lupin family had just sat down for dinner. Delilah was pestering John with every question she could think of about the Ministry of Magic, which he answered to the best of his ability, while Remus and Olivia were talking about a distant family member that had just gotten married.
In other words, everything was normal.
Seemingly out of nowhere, there was a loud crack, and Remus felt the weight...

Remus looked up at Sirius, who had been staring at him with his handsome grey eyes for several moments now.
“Yes?”
“Nothing,” Sirius replied, still not breaking his gaze. His voice was surprisingly innocent. “I was just looking at you.”

Minvera McGonagall was wrapping up her Transfiguration lesson; there were only a few minutes left of her class.
“What about the homework?” asked a small girl with long brown hair, once her professor was done speaking. Several sighs chorused throughout the classroom at the girl’s words.
“Hand your essays in tomorrow,” McGonagall instructed. Those were words that...

Sirius had been sitting with a quill in hand, completing an overdue Potions essay, when a pair of hands covered his eyes from behind.
“James,” Sirius replied without missing a beat. James sighed and sat down on the arm of the chair.
“How’d you know it was me?”
“Because, mate,” Sirius began, “your hands are cold and bony. Like your soul.”

Sirius rubbed his arm in the spot where the Giant Squid’s tentacle had been approximately a half-hour before, looking cross as he sat in the hospital wing. “Bloody fucking squid, with it’s fucking violence and inhospitality,” he cursed.
Remus rolled his eyes. “You don’t have to use that word so many times in a single sentence, you know. It’s not a...

Remus sat on his bed , watching raindrops race down the window. It was a groggy Sunday afternoon, the kind of day that was good for sleeping. The dormitory was empty save for himself; Peter was serving detention for Slughorn for not handing in his essay in on time, and Sirius and James were probably heading back to the castle, since it had begun raining cats and dogs in the middle of their...

“I guess you need to get some Muggle clothes, now that you’re staying with us,” Remus said.
“But I did,” Sirius grinned, pulling out a pair of leather pants, a green button down shirt, and suit jacket from his trunk.
Remus laughed at his random assortment of clothing. Sirius would stick out like a sore thumb if he planned on dressing like that in public. “I...

At the beach, the Marauders were talking when Lily pointed out a muggle performing a sequence of ridiculous jumping about and punching and kicking the air by the water. Kickboxing, she had called it.
Sirius didn’t think he’d ever seen anyone be so amusing and make such a prat of himself at the same time. Sirius then decided it would be a good idea to join the stranger.

James was finishing his Potions essay when the bottle of ink spilled over the parchment, irreversibly masking the words. “Son of a bitch!” he spat, frustrated and angry.
Sirius looked up at him. “You called?”

Sirius awoke with a start - he was being suffocated. Some one was sitting on his head, some one was trying to kill him -
James.
“What the hell, mate?” It had to be around four in the morning; the sun was barely up.
“Get up. We’re going to the jewelry store.”
“What the fuck did you hit your antlers on, Prongs?”
“Sirius, get up! I’ve been up...

“Pass the white stuff,” Sirius muttered, reaching across the table.
James raised an eyebrow and Peter laughed. Remus rolled his eyes; sometimes his friends were so immature it was painful.
“No really, give me the white stuff.”
“That’d be Moony’s job, would it not?”
“Just pass me the goddamn sour cream, will you Potter?”

“It’s strange, being in a city after Hogwarts,” Remus commented, looking up at the night sky. “For one thing, you can barely see the stars.”
“There’s one that’s pretty visible at least,” Sirius pointed upward in the direction of the star. “It’s all alone.”
“The one lonely star,” Remus mused. “Sounds like...

Delilah had come to the conclusion she could persuade the Marauders to do just about anything. The night before the Quidditch World Cup, she had asked them to make sock puppets with her. Peter had been the first to give in, and the rest followed suit.
Delilah was too amused with their creations to make her own.

Sirius took Remus by the hand and dragged him into the kitchen, much like an over-excited five-year-old.
“You know where everything is if you’re hungry,” Remus stated. “You don’t need me.”
But Sirius already had the cupboards open, looking through them.
“What are you looking for?”
“We’re going to make Butterbeer and sell it to...

Remus sighed; the last few days of the school year were always the worst. Sure, you had to say your goodbyes and you wouldn’t see your friends as often, but Remus had a different reason for disliking it. The Marauders’ dormitory was a giant mess. There were clothes and belongings and textbooks scattered all over the floor, and it was hard to decipher what belonged to whom. When...

The Marauders were lounging in the common room; James and Sirius were mischievously planning their next prank, Peter was completing late homework for Potions, and Remus had his nose in a book. Rather abruptly, Sirius hiccuped and burped at the same time, producing a rather alarming noise.
Remus looked up from his book, startled. “That was disturbing.”
“You know it turned you...

The Marauders, Lily decided, were mental. Not that she hadn’t figured that out already.
For Halloween, they had decided to dress up as a barber shop quartet, sporting black dress pants, white collared shirts, red vests, and formal black ties. If their costumes weren’t enough, they had every intention of going all out and sing, too.
“Oh, what a night,
Late December, back in...

The thought of Voldemort rising to power was frightening, but to James, Harry’s crying was at least ten times more nerve-racking. Lily had assured him over and over again that he was just fussy, and babies cry all the time. But it was his son, and he was crying.
By the time Sirius, Remus, and Peter had stopped by, four-month-old Harry was still irritable.
“On a dark desert...

On Valentine’s Day of their fifth year, Remus found on his bed a single rose. The other Marauders teased him about it, saying things like ‘Moony’s got a secret girlfriend!’ and ‘It must be a Ravenclaw, she’d go wild if she saw your grades!’, but he had kept it nonetheless.
A year later, there were two roses waiting for him. Every year he received one more...

Much to Delilah’s excitement, the Marauders had reluctantly agreed to sit and watch Grease with her. “I honestly don’t know how one little girl can boss us around,” James muttered affectionately. He was clearly bored with the movie thus far.
“Story of my life,” Sirius laughed. Delilah was sitting on Remus’ lap; her brother had spent a good portion of...

Lily needed to do something girly for once; she had been spending too much time with the Marauders. When she finally had a moment to herself, she sat in the common room and began painting her fingernails the same striking shade of green as her eyes.
Her moment of peace was interrupted with James wondering toward her, attempting to make himself look sexy with a silly grin and ridiculously...

“Remus,” began Delilah, “why is being a werewolf bad?”
Remus hadn’t expected her to understand; she was only five. Every way he worded it in his mind would probably scare her out of her wits. Remus looked at his shoes and sighed.
“Once upon a time, there was a little girl whose nickname was Little Red Riding Hood. Her mother send her off to her...

Only three days into the summer holiday, Remus had insisted on completing all of his schoolwork, leaving Sirius to his own devices. Sirius took the opportunity to litter the walls of Remus’ room with assorted posters of The Sex Pistols, The Beatles, and Alice Cooper.
Remus could never bring himself to make Sirius take them down, despite his great dissaproval of having posters on his walls.
