More on the Great LJ Strikeout (okay okay Strikethrough)

LJ has finally spoken to US.

news has a post on "What we did wrong" and "How we are fixing it".

I have to say, I'm relieved.  It doesn't make it all better, nor will I be as trusting of LJ in future, but at least they're talking to the users now, instead of the press.  I was hoping we'd get an apology.  Now I'm hoping they stand by what they said in it.

Culpae Patria, The continuing saga - Part II

So where were we?  Oh yes, Remus was attracted to Severus, and tried to assuage his guilt by mentioning marriage to Tonks.  Never a wise idea.

So...Monday, after being woken by a randy Tonks, Remus agonizes over his situation and decides he can't see Severus again, for any reason.  That afternoon, Severus owls him with information and a broken window.  This displeases Remus.  Remus goes to Severus' safehouse and mends the window, during which they have a conversation that eventually makes Remus flee.

Despite his cowardly behaviour Monday night, Remus goes to St Mungo's to visit draco_sotf as he promised Severus he would.  He later owls Severus to let him know about Draco and to apologise for his own cowardice.  Severus doesn't respond.

Tuesday is the night before the full moon.  Remus gets pissed and broods about his situation.  His pissing and brooding is interrupted by an owl from Arthur Weasley, which he answers.  He then rather unwisely sends another owl to Arthur, basically asking for advice about relationships.  He then proceeds to write several drunken owls, which he fortunately doesn't send.

In an unrelated subplot that suddenly and briefly crosses paths with Remus', Greg Goyle drunk-owls Snape, wanting to know why Millicent had got angry and left.  (Goyle/Bulstrode FTW, y'all)  Not that Severus would know, being a virgin and never kissed and whatnot.  Snape sends a rather sweet response the next day.

In the meantime, bill_sotf and Remus have been discussing a business idea--private security.  Remus talks Harry into joining the venture.  The night before the full moon, Bill owls the Lords of Chaos (aka the Twins) about possible product lines.

The morning after the full, Tonks visits Remus to keep him company while he recovers.  Said recovery is interrupted by an owl from Severus, and Things Crash and Burn.

Tonks goes to her mum's house, where she tells Andromeda what has happened.  She also owls Draco and has Andromeda owl Katie, who comes to visit.  Almost as soon as Katie leaves, Draco shows up.

Remus calls himself names in his journal.  Severus does too.  Remus writes some letters but doesn't send them, then writes some letters that he actually does send.
