Story: A Sirius Wish, for sweetmelodykiss Title: A Sirius Wish, for sweetmelodykiss
From: Your Secret Snupin Santa, in thanks for pinch hitting
Summary: Beware the help of the gods, for they never make anything easy, as Sirius, Severus, and Remus discover.
Rated: Holiday Spice (R)
Notes: I have completely ignored almost everything from the end of the Order of the Phoenix on when dealing with Severus, Remus and Sirius for the sake of my sanity (and my plotline!) As much as I adore the little tyke, alas, poor Teddy, thou shall not exist. :( But otherwise, yay for the living! Oh and I don't speak or read Italian. Babelfish is to blame for anything I've done wrong! - some angst but not over the top, a dab of frottage and a happy ending. Oh yeah, and some David Bowie. I'm no Conan Doyle and alas, I'm not a David Bowie fan so forgive me the mad use of "China Doll". This started with an image and kind of snowballed from there, as they sometimes do. Thanks to my roommate for the title, as mine was lame. Merry Christmas and a very happy 2010.
HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE TO PROVE I'M NOT MAKING STUFF UP: "On these [the Indian] mountains there live men with the head of a dog, whose clothing is the skin of wild beasts. They speak no language, but bark like dogs, and in this manner make themselves understood by each other. Their teeth are larger than those of dogs, their nails like those of these animals, but longer and rounder. They inhabit the mountains as far as the river Indos. Their complexion is swarthy. They are extremely just, like the rest of the Indians with whom they associate. They understand the Indian language but are unable to converse, only barking or making signs with their hands and fingers by way of reply, like the deaf and dumb. They are called by the Indians Kalystrii, in Greek Kynocephaloi (dog-headed)." - Ctesias, Indica Fragment (summary from Photius, Myriobiblon 72) (trans. Freese) (Greek historian Circa 4th B.C.)
