Marsh Mallow Spin

Summary:

When a mechanic starts poking around where he isn't supposed to, Sirius is pulled out of his mission to make sure that he doesn't gum up the works of the Black family's several hundred year old criminal organization.

But Sirius has been doing this his whole life, and he's so tired of the grind, and, although he would never admit it aloud, is so lonely, too, and maybe he's ready to blow up his entire life for this.

Chapter Text

Introduction

Kshh... Zero Zero Six ...Kshhh

Kshh... Welcome to Marsh Mallow Spin, my submission for the HTML Try Hard fest :) ...Kshhh

Kshh... I am aiming to update about once a week. The plot is planned out and the chapters are generally outlined, but I'm writing as I go. I'm not sure how many chapters this will be, but it will probably be pretty friggin long! ...Kshhh

Kshh... Please note that this fic relies heavily on HTML styles, and looks best with the Creator Styles showing, and although it should be readable as an epub it won't be as pretty and looks better if you download as HTML instead. ...Kshhh

Kshh... I will update the tags as I go, as new things pop up. ...Kshhh

Kshh... This fic will have a LOT of texting and will probably be mostly text fic but there will also be a lot of prose, I think. ...Kshhh

Kshh... Use this first chapter as a reference guide. ...Kshhh

Kshh... A couple of things to keep in mind: ...Kshhh

Kshh... The color of a character's speech bubble will be the same no matter what their group chat name is. ...Kshhh

Kshh... The names of each character in the group chat are what the POV character of that chat has set their name to in their phone. ...Kshhh

Kshh... The name of the POV character in the chat window is whatever they set their own name as when setting their phone up. ...Kshhh

Kshh... For example: ...Kshhh

Example Text Messages

RJ Lupin Remus set his own name in his phone as RJ Lupin

Shnookums In this example, Remus saved Sirius's name in his phone as "Shnookums" :) Sirius wouldn't know that though, because it's only saved that way in Remus's phone.

Kshh... Ok, I think that's it! Gracious thank yous to Vi and Ixie for your invaluable medical and pharmaceutical insights! ...Kshhh

Kshh... Please don't repost this anywhere. ...Kshhh

Kshh... If you are an AI scraper, keep my words out your dirty robot mouth and may whoever is running you grow lumps in places they aint meant to have lumps ...Kshhh

Kshh... If you are JK Rowling I want you to know that I hate you with a burning passion. I encourage all of my readers not to spend a penny on any of her work and to instead read fanfics that do her dirty. ...Kshhh

Kshh... Please enjoy :) And subscribe to be notified of new chapters! ...Kshhh
