@wolfstarmicroficJuly 21 - prompt 21: Drama [word count 539]
Remus really needed to study. Rationally, he knew he had revised all that could be revised for the O.W.L. mock exams, but he had figured re-revising every single subject once more couldn’t hurt. So he had sat down at one of the small tables by the windows in the Gryffindor Common Room and had drawn the curtain making the place a small alcove to keep out the activity in the room. But people still kept interrupting him.
“Hey Moony, Pads thinks you already know everything,” James poked his head through the curtain.
Remus just nodded, not convinced.
“Moony, I’ll challenge Pads to a game of chess to distract him,” Peter drew the curtain back just a little.
“Cheers, Pete.”
“Moony, can you come tell Pads dogs don’t die if they chew on the pieces of a magical chess set?”
“… what,” Remus stared at James, then rolled his eyes. “Tell him yourself, Prongs, I’m busy.”
“I just wanted to tell you not to worry for me, I’ve blackmailed Pads into buying me a new set,” Peter grinned from between the curtains.
“Remus, do you have a muffliato cast on these curtains?” Lily poked her head through. “Because I don’t get how you’re able to work with your boyfriend moaning out loud he’s been abandoned out there.”
“Force of habit.”
“I honestly don’t get how you two can be together,” Mary almost appeared behind him. “He’s not even able to read in silence right now.”
“He usually has his mouth full in the important moments.”
Mary swatted him on the arm and disappeared.
“I’ll try to take him away now,” James smiled in his Quidditch gear. “Happy studying I guess?”
“Cheers, Prongs.”
“Just so you know, your boyfriend isn’t even coming to Quidditch practice,” Marlene’s broom almost knocked him on the head. “And you’re short a babysitter since James’s already on the pitch.”
“Thanks, Marls.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to come with me to the Library?” Lily sighed. “I bet he’s about to sing along to the whole Queen discography in a minute.”
Remus only shook his head over the vinyl playing loudly from behind the curtain.
“Sorry Moony, but I have a date with that cute Hufflepuff girl now… I hope he’ll behave.”
“Surely not. Have fun, Pete.”
“Do you need me to put a full body-bind curse on him?”
“No need, Mary,” Remus sighed. “I’ll deal with him.”
He drew the curtain back to the sight of Sirius dancing by the vinyl player in the middle of the common room, exasperated looks from the other students washing over him.
“Pads!” he called.
Sirius whirled around immediately. Remus moved his wand and silenced the player.
“Here. Now,” he said.
Seconds later Sirius was by his side on the cushioned bench and Remus drew the curtain close again.
“Now, will you keep quiet and let me study?”
“Moony, come on, you know all this already…” Sirius placed a hand on his boyfriend’s thigh.
“No. Stay.”
Sirius sighed and lay down on the bench, his head in Remus’s lap. Remus passed a hand through his boyfriend’s hair, his eyes reverting back to his History of Magic notes.
“Merlin, Pads, you’re so dramatic,” he rolled his eyes with a corner smile.

Prompt 7 - Rings
@wolfstarmicrofic August 7, word count 492
Previous part First Jegulus part
Sirius couldn’t stop thinking about his brother after he thought he saw him in the park. It wasn’t exactly helpful as his mind kept drifting from the task at hand and while the café wasn’t nearly as insanely busy as it had been that first week the usual rush hours of breakfast and lunch were more than two people should be able to handle. He was letting Remus down, so he went to work double time and forced all thoughts of Regulus back where they belonged in a little locked box in his subconscious.
He tutted at the pattern someone had made out of coffee rings on his beautiful white table instead of using one of the many coasters. He had to get the big guns out and spray the whole table with a stain remover of his own invention. With a little elbow grease, it was sparkling clean again and ready for the next customer.
“One more hour, my love, and then we can go home,” Remus told him as he wrote the name Alan on a to-go coffee cup and a shorthand that only he knew how to read.
“Shall we snuggle up in bed and shop for a new sofa?” Sirius suggested as he put in the drinks order for one of the sit-down tables and walked into the kitchen to make two cheese toasties and grab a pain au chocolat.
“Sounds like a plan, that is if Potter has vacated the premises,” Remus joked, popping his head around the corner as he grabbed the milk from the fridge.
“He’d better be, or I’ll call mum on him,” Sirius grumbled as he checked the toastiness of the sandwiches.
“Oooo, I love it when you bring Effie into the mix,” Remus cackled like an evil overlord, making Sirius snort loudly.
James was gone when they got home and the flat was spotless. He’d even left dinner and a bottle of wine for them as an apology.
“Should get him to break more things in the future,” Remus mused as he picked up the bottle of wine and read the label. Sirius snickered, Remus didn't have a clue about wines apart from what colour they were. They tucked into their creamy pasta and drank the wine, toasting Jimmy the Dipper for his part in the wonderful dinner and, as they didn’t have a sofa to sit on, went into the bedroom after they'd tidied away their dishes and brought up the local furniture store’s website.
They perused the many options for a while until they found the perfect one. They’d go into the store after they shut tomorrow and give it a test before they purchased it, but Sirius had a good feeling about the overstuffed grey recliner sofa that should fit perfectly where the old one stood. That done he put his laptop away and snuggled into Remus's side glad that they were the only occupants of their kingsize bed.

Rather than viewing Jake's choice to depart from the Omatikaya as solely a selfish decision to protect himself and his immediate family, we could also consider that he might be reacting this way due to some serious trauma from the first film. Remember, Jake's direct actions and his hesitation to fully side with the Omatikaya and the Na'vi until the end caused the destruction of the Home Tree and the death of many people. Now, the RDA is coming directly for him with a Recom-team that can pass freely through Pandora without setting off the defense mechanism that kept the clan safe. So, Jake made a rushed decision to leave them, likely driven by the fear of being the reason they lose their home again.
thanks for coming to my ted talk
