Hands down - Emma! I love her so much.

But I also really loved Ruby and Tink as well :) - Especially Ruby, I noticed her absence when she disappeared.

I was thinking about doing a re-watch actually. :)

Thanks for the ask :)

LOL this is so funny.

It’s not intentional but I have a terrible habit of ending short fics with “Good”. I didn’t notice it someone tagged me in a “last lines” tag game and like, of 20 last lines, at least half were “Good”.

I have no idea WHY I do it. It just feels final, I guess?

But I’ve been working on that :)

Happy Friday! Hope you like it!

Sirius isn’t always… well, he has had a bit of a rough time of late, so when Kingsley opts to surprise him with a trip out of the house, he’s not sure what to expect.  

Somehow, he didn’t expect this.

They’re in some forest somewhere.  He’s not sure where, but far away from Grimmauld place – his most hated place and he spent years in Azkaban.

“Er, what’s going on?  You’re not going to sacrifice me on some pyre, are you?”

Kingsley laughs.  “What kind of boyfriend would I be if I lit my boyfriend on fire?”

“Boyfriends?” Sirius blinks.  Sure, they’ve been sleeping together but who would want to date an on-the-run innocent felon?  

Kingsley gives him a look as if trying to determine if he’s joking.  

“Come on, Sirius, I know I can’t take you out on a date, but I thought – don’t you wanna be my boyfriend?”

“Of course I do, but why would you want to date me?”

Kingsley brightens at the assurance.  “Because I happen to think that you’re an amazing man given a terrible hand at life,” and then, he lowers his voice and whispers, “And you’re pretty talented with your tongue.”

Sirius bursts out laughing, but the assurance is successful.  “Alright, then, boyfriend – what are we doing here?”

“We are going to frolic.”

Before Sirius can question what the hell he means, he surprises Sirius by turning into a lynx and pouncing away.  

Getting the suggestion, Sirius turns into Padfoot and chases after him. 

It’s a relief to run and frolic with Kingsley this way.  To try and catch him.  

Running through the forest, weaving through the trees as he follows after him until they reach a bed of wildflowers.

Sirius finally catches him and they roll around struggling for who’s on top for a few minutes before Kingsley’s lynx finally pins him down and within an eyelock, they both transform, breathing heavy and Sirius is having a moment of realization that although his life largely sucks – he has this.  He has Kingsley, a boyfriend, that went out of his way to make him happy even for a few minutes when he was being sour about not getting to visit with Harry in Hogsmeade, and that’s … something. 

Something that’s happy for him to hold onto and he’s so damn lucky to have that.

“You’re the best,” he admits staring up at his boyfriend.  

Kingsley leans down and whispers, “I know,” before he licks his nose (rather than give him a kiss he’d been expecting) and then jumping off while Sirius is still confused.  Turning back into his lynx form and running off.

“OI!  I’m going to get you back for that!” Sirius yells before turning back into Padfoot and chasing after him.

It’s definitely his best day in a while and it’s all due to best boyfriend ever.  

Luckiest SOB ever.  

Happy Friday! This one is Outdoor Movie Theater, but I’m likely going to write the other two at some point because I can, so let me know if you want me to tag you in those too.

Alex can’t help giggling at the look of utter confusion on Henry’s face after he’s lead him out to the side of their new home where a pickup truck awaits.  The truck itself is facing away from their home, with the bed of the truck laid down and decked out with a thin bed, blankets, pillows and movie-going snacks.  

The movie is against the wall of their home, projected on it as if it were a drive-in theater.  It was a pain in the ass to get the equipment, but he was tired of wanting to go to the movies and make out with his boyfriend, fiancée, now husband, and people being nosy about it.  (Although they hadn’t tried that since the move to Texas, but in New York, people were nosy, and he doesn’t want to risk it).  

Now, they could experience a drive-in all by themselves (Alex was determined that Henry get to experience all of the fun American things he missed while being a Prince in England in his teens).  

It’s not quite the same as going to one of the ones built for others to enjoy as well, but this way, they can experience it and if making out while a movie plays turns into having sex in the back of the pickup, there won’t be a news headline tomorrow.

“What’s this, love?”

“This is our very own drive-in theater,” Alex says, grinning.  “I’ve got a movie and snacks and plans to make out with you just like a normal teenage American experience.”

Henry looks like he’s trying not to laugh as he says, “You do realize that we’re far closer to our thirties than our teens, yes?”

“Well, to be fair, drive-ins have gone a bit out of style, and we may be working our way into over a decade beyond our teens, but you’ve been delayed – living in England and all, so we can make an exception.”

Henry hums.  “You also know that we have a perfectly good home theater in our lovely new home, yes?”

“Yes, but this is an experience you’ve never had – watching a movie while outside under the stars – and it’s my job as your husband to make sure you’ve experienced it all,” Alex counters.

“And we couldn’t just go to an actual drive-in theater because…?”

“Besides the obvious?” Alex questions, rhetorically.  “If making out leads to something else then we won’t end up in the papers.”

Henry coughs.  “So, you don’t even want to watch the movie at all?  You just want to shag me in the bed of a pickup.”

“I didn’t say that; I said if it ends up that way…” Alex winks and Henry bursts out laughing.

“Demon!  I married a demon.”

Alex grins.  “And now you’re stuck with him!  Now, come on, let’s get comfortable.”

He plants a kiss on Henry’s lips and then climbs into the bed of the pickup with Henry following after him.

It doesn’t take long for them to settle into a comfortable cuddling position. 

“What are we watching, anyway?”

“Our favorite movies,” Alex answers with a knowing grin.  They always end up arguing about the trilogy whenever they watch which leads to making out and then, well, exactly what Alex wants in the bed of this pickup.

Henry throws his head back and laughs.  “Yes, I married a demon, but I married my favorite demon.  I love you.”

“I love you, too, baby.”

With that, he presses start and their night begins.
