"I'm a werewolf." Remus said as he grabbed his bag and walked away from the table.

Sirius jumped up and headed after him. "Yeah, sure, and I'm the next Grindelwald. And the tooth fairy." Sirius gave Remus a playful shove. "Seriously. Where do you go once a month? I'd say you have the curse but even you're not that girly!" Sirius laughed.

"Screw you, Sirius. Everything's a joke with you, isn't it? Would it kill you to be serious for one second?" Remus said turning his back on Sirius.

"I'm Sirius every minute of every day." Sirius said with a maddenning grin.

Title: Alleviating Boredom
Recipient: caitirin
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Characters: Duo, Heero
Rating: PG for mild language
Summary: Duo and Heero are stranded in a dangerous place when a mission goes wrong. Duo finds this much less interesting than it sounds, so he decides to make it interesting.
Notes: This takes place after the series.

When Duo was a little kid, he had thought that being in space surrounded by stars would be like standing in the middle of a rainstorm of light, frozen in time. As it turned out, it was more like staring at holes pricked in a huge cardboard box - from inside the box. The vastness of it was exhilarating at first, but it soon wore off. At times like this, he might even venture to call it "boring as hell."
