Best Short Form Story

If there’s one thing Iain misses about Dublin, it’s waking up in the morning to the sun rising over the Liffey. His family’s flat wasn’t right on the river, but it was close enough that if he peeked out his window and angled his head just so, he could get a glimpse of soft orange sunlight sparkling on the water.

He reflects on this as he stands there looking out his window, the overflowing bins and suspicious stain in the alleyway looking exactly the same as always. Fitting for a perfectly ordinary morning — except that he’s not having one of those, because Sirius had stayed for breakfast.

...Sirius had stayed for breakfast, after showing up last night and telling him in a panic that people are trying to kill him.

He doesn’t know why he expected the alleyway to look different.

Part Four of a body from the balcony (Iain-verse)

"She blinked several times and swallowed back her fear. She couldn’t keep dancing around this topic, forcing him to be her partner when he didn’t even know the correct place to lead them next. She had to take the lead."

The year is 1970 and Molly and Arthur feel like this new decade is theirs for the taking. But one night with a bottle of champagne changes the course of their lives forever.  

Written for Lost_Robin’s TS9 Challenge (“champagne problems”).

Winner of the 2018 FROGS award for best use of a major character!

Lily and Petunia were more than sisters; they were best friends.

And then, they weren't

A series of one shots about Lily and Petunia over the years.

He looked up as she approached, his smile widening, the lines around his eyes crinkling behind his glasses. He raised his glass as if in a toast, and asked, “To what do I owe the pleasure, Evans?”

Ignoring the curious looks of his friends, she said, “Actually, there’s something I need to talk to you about. In private.”

That didn’t sound too bad, did it? Not necessarily personal. It could’ve been about Head Student responsibilities. It could’ve been about anything.

Midnight broom rides. Secret visits to Hogsmeade. Parties in the Gryffindor common room.

Broken friendships and betrayal. Curses and Dark Arts. The Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.

This is the story of how a group of friends who loved snowball fights discovered themselves and made the ultimate sacrifice.

This is the lost tale of the generation that changed the outcomes of war.

“You’re plenty brave, Pete,” Remus said, in the tone he took when he thought he was for sure, without a doubt, one hundred percent correct.

A Peter and Remus fic written for Felpata_Lupin!

It was all she could do to stand tall against him, to defy him as she had already before. It was all she could do to look him in his eyes and defend Harry. It was all she could do to push away the heartrending fear and pain, the what-ifs and the thoughts of everyone but her son. It was all she could do.

Lily Evans Potter, a widower at 21, dead at 21. A ghost at 21.

Peter holds all the secrets. We know the one that he tells. But what is the one he should have told?
