escape yourself and gravity

Speaking of 800 words... 800_words had the big reveal today! Fics were posted anonymously on Monday, though honestly anyone who read them could have guessed which one was mine, just by pairing alone. *grin* I'll post a link in my next entry. There are twelve other fantastic fics at that community, and rather than listing any particular ones, I'll just tell you that all but one of those fics are 800 words, and the one that's 1600 words is WELL worth reading, even if it is twice as long. *grin* They're all Marauder-related, and I know a couple of Peter fans on my flist will really love a couple of them.

This is a not-too-detailed summary, with links, of peter_ffg's story in farfromgracerpg, an AU Marauders-Era game. I've left out some subplot information, and my coverage of Remus' side of the story is a bit spotty, but I've already stayed up way too late doing this, and am about to fall asleep in my chair. Without further ado...


As the game begins early in November 1978, James Potter is tragically killed during a pick-up Quidditch match with his best friends, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. Although they don't know who did it, they know it is the Killing Curse, and that it therefore has to have been one of the Death Eaters. James is buried on 15 November.

A few days later, Peter goes to visit Remus for the first time since the funeral. Peter is struggling with guilt over having murdered one of his best friends at Voldemort's behest, and is also grieving for his best friend. He and Remus cry together and drink until they pass out.

The next week, Peter stops by the cottage Remus and Sirius share and finds Remus reading poetry. Not recognising Walt Whitman's name, he gets Remus to read it to him, and they discuss poetry. Peter finds himself attracted to Remus--a disturbing and frightening problem that has been cropping up from time to time lately--and suggests they go to a Diagon Alley pub for dinner.

On 2 December, the remaining Marauders + Lily get together to discuss what they can do to find out who killed James. Sirius decides to attempt to reinfiltrate his family. Peter attempts to dissuade him, not wanting to have to turn him in, but Lily sides with Sirius, and the matter is settled.

A week later, Remus stops by Scrivenshaft's, where Peter works, and they go to the Three Broomsticks. They rough-house a bit in the middle of Hogsmeade and find themselves blushing for no apparent reason. A few days later Peter invites Remus to dinner at his mum's house. More lovely UST ensues.

Lily invites everyone to a Christmas Party. Peter and Remus go shopping for Christmas presents and Peter accidentally outs himself to Remus following an embarrassing visit to the Adults Only room in Zonko's Joke Shop.

At the Order Christmas Party, Peter and Remus go outside for some fresh air and wind up trapped by magical mistletoe. Peter proceeds to drink himself stupid. (This is a comment-threaded scene.)

It takes Peter over a week, but on 3 January he finally goes to see Remus to face the consequences of Mistletoe. He and Remus clear up a few misunderstandings.

( Champagne Days and Moonlight Nights )

innerslytherin and severity_softly would like to announce our new joint work, Ever-Fixed Mark.  Because we fell in love with the pairing of Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew while writing these characters in an RPG, but were afraid of flooding the game, we decided to embark on a fic exploring the Marauder's last year at Hogwarts.  What started as a simple way to sustain our ever-growing Lupin/Pettigrew love in between writing game scenes, grew into something much larger than we ever expected.   Ever-Fixed Mark examines the possible consequences of Peter falling in love before leaving school.  Will he make the same choices as he did in canon?  How far will he go to protect the person he loves?  Will he still betray his friends?

Title: Ever-Fixed Mark
Authors: innerslytherin and severity_softly
Pairing: Remus Lupin/Peter Pettigrew
Rating: G in the beginning, but up to NC-17 over all
Era: 1978 onwards
Summary: Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew have been friends for six years, but over the summer before their seventh year at Hogwarts, they begin a correspondence that will change the course of their relationship...and perhaps even the course of the entire war.
Notes: This fic begins in canon, but will be unabashedly AU.  The fic has grown longer than we had ever imagined it being, and will be posted in a serial fashion at InsaneJournal.
