my dreams remind me of an ocean

“San, do you think they have like, a Do-You-Like-Girls scanner that you have to pass through before they let you in here?” Brittany asked, her cheeks pink. “Because with you around, there’s no way I’m gonna pass the test. I haven’t even studied.”

Santana shook her head and fought back a smile. Brittany could be ditzy, it came with the package, but she managed to make it so adorable it could give cavities. “No, Britt. Lesbians practically get an employee discount. We’re like a walking two-for-one special. Plus, did you see all of those practically naked girls in the windows? Who’s that supposed to be bringing in, men?”

“Men can wear bras if they want to. Bras are like, a civil right,” Brittany said seriously.

“A bra probably would make Finn look less squishy and moobish, I’ll give you that.”

Sirius Black stood on his friend’s doorstep, feeling extremely out of place. But, then again, after the course of events that had happened in the last forty-eight hours, Sirius felt out of place everywhere. Knowing that he’d never see them again was…horrible, to say the very least. He’d always thought that they would grow old together, still be playing pranks as old grandfathers. Unfortunately, this was far from the case. He and Lily had only been twenty-three…

Sirius took a deep breath, squaring his shoulders. He had to be strong. If not for anyone else, he had to be strong for James. Puckering up all of the courage inside himself, Sirius Black did one of the hardest things in his life: he rang the doorbell. Hearing the series of major notes on the other side of the door, Sirius felt his heart skip a beat as he heard footsteps accompanying them. Oh sh-

“Oh! Erm…hi Sirius. I’m kind of in the middle of something; what is it?” Remus Lupin asked, stepping out onto the porch. He smiled, and it made Sirius balk. It was amazing how he was smiling after what had just happened. But, of course, he didn’t know that it had happened. Albus had left telling Moony to him.

“Can I just come in? I need to talk to you,” Sirius said, taking a deep breath. He hadn’t even told him yet, and he wanted to cry. What had happened to the invincible demeanor he put out, the smugness, the confidence? It’d been here this morning, he swore it.

Remus ran his hand through his brown, unruly hair before answering. “I’m really busy, Padfoot. Are you sure you can’t just tell me out here? Or tell me in a few days?” It was obvious that he was not exactly welcome. Sirius wasn’t sure why, but Remus was putting up a pretty big fight to keep him out.

Then Sirius noticed: Remus didn’t look well. His hands were shaking horribly, his eyes were rimmed with a bright scarlet, and his skin was as white as a bucket of flobberworms. He’d looked up at the moon last night. What had it looked like? Sirius pondered, and then realized. Remus had a “furry little problem” tonight. And it was already five o’clock. Less than two hours until sunset. Shit.

Sirius looked to his friend for a confirmation. “Is tonight—?”

He didn’t even need to finish his sentence; Remus knew right away, and nodded his head. “That’s why I’d really prefer to put this off. I really should be in my study,” he said, alluding to the chains he kept there to keep himself from hurting the general populace.

Now he had a quandary, because, in all honesty, he wanted to wait to tell Remus. Hell, he wanted to run away from the house like a first-year and never look back, leaving the shambles of his life behind! But he couldn’t. Moony would undoubtedly hear it through the grapevine before it could be broken gently if he waited. He had to hear it from one of his best friends. Or, he realized, the only best friend he had left. “I’m sorry, Moony. It can’t wait. It’s about James…and Lily.”

Remus’s eyes widened and his eyebrows rose into his mop of hair. Sirius had learned to read Remus well. He was wondering what more could there possibly be about James and Lily’s predicament that he didn’t know. They’d had an Order meeting about it just last week, and it had lasted well into the night. Apparently, though, Remus noticed Sirius’s urgency and ushered him into the house.

Anya Slays the Easter Bunny

Xander brings Anya to visit the Easter Bunny at Sunnydale Mall in an attempt to cure her irrational fear of all things bunny. Pure fluff and humor. An Easter gift for my Tumblr followers.

—————

“Wait, Sunnydale has a mall?” Anya asked skeptically as she and Xander walked towards a part of town she’d never visited before. It was a warm April afternoon, and the couple was enjoying a much-welcome lull in their Scooby duties. “I thought The Bronze was the only semi-tolerable hangout in this town.”

“Oh, it is,” Xander said, smirking. “Our mall’s pretty much a joke. Most of the stores closed down before my freshman year due to, you know, the Hellmouth, and now it’s more like an abandoned building with a Gap and a food court.”

“So remind me why we’re going there?” Anya was now fairly sure that her boyfriend was up to something. Before they’d left their apartment, Xander had grabbed her Polaroid camera off the counter, “just in case they saw something cool along the way.” He’d always been a particularly lousy liar.

“I want you to see something,” he said, and he was having trouble keeping his composure now. When she gave him a funny look and then turned away, she heard him make a noise between a man-giggle and a snort. She whipped around, facing him now, her arms crossed over her chest, blocking his way.

“Xander Harris, I’m not moving until you tell me why we’re going there. You’re up to something.”

“Me?” Xander asked, trying to look shocked. “Anya, I can’t believe you’d think such a thing. Don’t you know me?”

She bit her lip then, trying to keep the smile off her face that was trying to make its way there. His “incredulous” face was surprisingly adorable. He looked like a cross between a hungry puppy and a slow fifth-grader in math class.
