Rating: E for Emo.

( It would have been simple enough to make the excuse that he was at his sister's house, and he'd gone to help with the trouble when it broke out...but all he could think was that he had to see Miriam. )

WHERE: Miriam's flat!

Who: Edward Watkins & Miriam Strout!
When: 28 December 1979, around 11 am!
Where: some cafe... in Diagon Alley!
What: Yet another Awkward Talk. This time, Miriam has something important to tell Edward! And it's not a happy something, either.
Rating: E for Emo. Otherwise very low!

( It was a cold place to be sitting, sure, but she figured she could do with the sunlight streaming through the frost on the glass. Its brightness might make what she had to say not seem so /bad/. . . . She hoped. )

As we discussed in chat a while back, it would be far preferable (and lots easier) if we just had one post where everyone could comment with the Christmas presents that their characters are sending to various other characters. That way we don't absolutely flood the friendspages over the next few days with Christmas owls, and it's also a nice handy-dandy reference place.

So! Comment with your character and say who they're giving gifts to and what they're giving. Links are totally not required (unless you want to) and pictures (which are also totally not required and are likewise an "only if you want to" thing) are to be linked to only, to avoid killing people's computers.

Comment at your leisure. :) Comments will be screened until Christmas Eve, so that it's a nice ~surprise~ to see all the gifts! Comments have been unscreened, but feel free to continue posting gifts!

Who: Edward Watkins & Miriam Strout
When: BACKDATED to the morning of 13 December 1979
Where: Miriam's bedroom! Oh la la.
What: Edward & Miriam have an awkward (and semi-undressed) morning following the Auror holiday party.
Rating: PG? It's fairly tame, but there are mentions of near-nudity.
Status: Complete.

( I think I lost my antlers... )

( owl to Nora Alderton )

WHO: Miriam Strout & Edward Watkins.
WHERE: The latter's swingin' bachelor pad.
WHEN: Backdated to Saturday, Nov 14 1979.

( No more moping. Seize the day. Wear your stupid coat before you lose the chance to. )

( Owl to Nora Alderton )

( Owl to Edward Watkins )

Who: Edward Watkins & Miriam Strout
When: the afternoon of October 3
Where: IN BED. no, just kidding. :( Edward takes Miriam to an arcade! And she teaches him how to play Space Invaders.
What: They're on a DATE.
Rating: Just a few swear words. Thanks, Ed. PG? It's v tame.

( 'Well done,' she offered in a jokingly deep voice, blushing furiously through her self conscious laughter a moment later. Who congratulated someone on Apparating? )

( Owl for Edward Watkins )

Characters: Gideon Prewett and Miriam Strout
Setting: Miriam's place, late evening
Summary: It's been a good week, and a good night, and Gideon reaches a conclusion.
Rating: G. These two are pretty Disney.

( It was funny - when she threw herself into his arms like that, he didn't think even a little bit about the war. For once, the Order and Voldemort and all of the death and misery that had been stalking everyone lately just slipped right out of his mind. Gideon had all of himself in this moment, and it was pleasantly, perfectly separate from all the pain out there outside of this flat. )
