BOYS IN SPACE

Summary: "Talent shows and having cute hair and tragic/hot boys in outer space" (the Remus/Sirius AU). A.k.a. it's 1974…in a rather alternate universe.

Characters: Sirius, James, Remus / Pairing: Remus/Sirius

Words: ~850

Rating: PG, I guess, for David Bowie lyrics

Notes: This is a silly little giftfic I wrote for stereolightning – friend, beta, and comrade-in-pondering-writing-questions – who's hard at work on her first original novel (go, stereolightning!) She mentioned to me that this current novel is the longest project she's ever worked on, though she did write a short "novel" in seventh grade, which she described as being "about middle school preoccupations like talent shows and having cute hair and tragic/hot boys in outer space."

I said, that sounds like it should be a Marauders-era Remus/Sirius AU! …and then I ended up writing it. So, this won't make all that much sense beyond that, but I giggled at the writing of it, so maybe you'll enjoy it, too. (This is in the grand tradition of cute, fluffy Remus/Sirius pining fics, of which I have read and enjoyed so many over the years, but until now never written!)
