    Summary

    Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.

    Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.

    Was that fate, Sirius wondered?

    He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.

    Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.

    Summary

    At the end of first year, Harry pocketed the Philosopher's Stone- in a secret pocket that everyone else missed.

    Now, two years later, Harry is in his third year, his friends are having the time of their lives in Hogsmeade, there's an escaped mass murderer running around, and Harry is going stir-crazy. Fortunately, the twins have a solution! Although- they're going to need something in return, and it needs to be good.

    Good thing Harry kept that Stone, huh?

    And then things go completely bat-shit crazy.

    (featuring the Marauders vs 1993, an exhausted Professor Lupin, a bewildered Harry Potter, and an opportunistic Hermione Granger)

    Summary

    "Gyro!" Johnny whisper-shrieks, and then he says, stupidly, "Why in the hell would a bear speak English?"

    "Ah! You're right," Gyro says, and Johnny almost relaxes, until he shouts, "Ué! Ll'urzo! Aje nu Stand?"

    "I'm going to kill you if the bear doesn't beat me to it," Johnny informs him, strained.

    "I don't think he speaks napulitano," Gyro tells him. "Should I try Italian next?"

    "No," Johnny hisses. "You should try shutting your God damn pie hole."

    --

    Johnny and Gyro have a nice day.

    Summary

    Gyro squints at him. "Barbecue sounds like a fake word."

    "It's not!" Johnny protests, twisting the hare over the fire. "I got no idea where it comes from, but I swear it's a real word. Barbecue is stuff you cook slow, with smoke. It's great. When this is over I'm gonna make you come back to Kentucky with me so you can have real barbecue." He pauses, then adds, "And mint juleps. I bet you'd like mint juleps."

    "Johnny, you keep saying words at me and I'm almost entirely certain they're fake," Gyro complains, starting to prepare the other hare. "What in the hell is a julep?"
